When the so-called Tobacco Trust was
formed about year ago, the Harry Weis-
singer Tobacco Co. of Louisville, KY, had
the courage and independence to refuse to
join the monopoly, notwithstanding the
pressure that was brought to bear upon
them to do so. That tobacco consumers
appreciated the position taken by the Weis-
singer Tobacco Co., and recognize the high
grade and extra fine quality of goods made
by them, is demonstrated by the fact that the
Weissinger Tobacco Co. s business has more
than doubled since the ''Trust'' was formed,
and although the Wessinser Tobacco Co.
increased their capacity during 1899 about
one hundred per cent. they are now to build
an additional factory which will enable
them to employ about six hundred more
people.
Tobacco consumers in the State of Maine
have contributed their share to the increas-
ed business by their larger purchases of
PEACE Il GOOD WILL, BUR OAK, OUR
FLAG, AUTUMN and other popular brands
made by the Harry Weissinger Tobacco Co.,
and sold in this State.

The New Police Jury.

The New Police Jury.
The new police jury which is
evenly divided between the DEM
ocratic and Independent factions.
held their first meeting Tuesday,
having failed the day previous,
and by mutual agreements, fixed
matters to the satisfaction of all
concerned. thereby organizing
without the difficulty that was ex-
pected, and a possible deadlock
that would have jeopardized the
best interest of the parish.
Monday Mr.. Carl Larson, one
of the members of the jury was
arrested and jailed on the ground
that he was not a citizen and had
registered falsely. He was after
ward released on bond OF two
hundred dollars.
We do not believe there is any
thing in this accusation, because
even il Mr.. Larson is not q citizen
under the new, stupid and we may
say tricky election law, he, having
been a member of the police jury
considered he was a citizen. and
acted in good faith. But in poll
tic, the politicians say all is fair.
After a caucus was held by thu
members OF the police jury ant
they had agreed upon certain rules
to be adopted, everything went OF
smoothly, and we trust that ever!
member of the jury will put aside
their little political differences
and try to solve in a satisfactor.
manner the financial condition O
the parish.
The parish has a debt of som
$22,0 10000. part of it to mature a

has to be made to meetthese obi
cations when they mature, ant

this will require the careful AM

the "bosses.' it would be possible
to defeat that hypocritical mea-
sure. Unfortunately, they allow
ed themselves to be hoodwinked,
as they were once before, into the
belief that four years out OF Office
had made the "bosses" and the
ward politicians virtuous. patriotic
and public-spirited men, who had
gone into politics NOT because of
what there is in it for them, but
merely from the disinterested mo-
tive of improving the government
| of New Orleans.
1t was the original purpose OF
the spoilsmen to wipe out civil
service in New Orleans, root and
branch, so that it would never be
heard of again; and thew went to
Baton Rouge convinced that they
could do 30. They soon learned
that their purpose was impossible;
the country members would not
hear of this. They knew that the
New Orleans Representatives did
not represent public opinion in
this city; they knew that to strike
out civil service from the statute
book would prove q discredit to
Louisiana, and they gave the hos.
ses notice that the law should no,
be repealed. If there was any.
thing faulty in it, it might b
amended, they said.
The gang changed front ant
tried the amendment racket. How
they have done it We have alread!
shown. They have made civil
lservice a mockery and q scandal
1t is as though they picked ul
. some creature of the slums ant
tried to pass her off as a lady.
Such civil service as the bose
have incorporated in the Thorp
statute would only bring disgrac
d and discredit on the name. ]
would enable them to fill the Cit
Hall with their heelers and rid
a raft, and two years more they coul
o 60 before the Legislature, poin
to the class of men with whom q
e vii service had filled the Office
|, and ask the Legislature, with res
! son, to wipe it altogether from th
q statute book. Being unable to q
y cure the repeal of the civil servic
. law now, the bosses have gone I
. work to secure its repeal by NAL
4 ing it SO offensive to the publ
II that every one will join in the al
d peal to destroy the Thorpe ''mod
, fer" and do away with civil sel
vice altogether.
These facts should be brougl
clearly before the Legislature, {
that all may know what the pa
sage of the Thorpe bill mean
We must look to the members (

fight for us, as New Orleans b,

As for the attempt of some of Il
