a SLAVE OF TOBACCO.
Love OF tho Weed One of tho Weak
nes'cs of tho Great CarIyIe.

AS is well known. Thomas CARLYLE
'he great Scottish essayist and his
torlan, was slave to tobacco. In his
nome. his study or out of doors he was
seldom seen without his pipe. and he
smoked the strongest tobacco he could
procure. During the last part of his
lie he was sufferer from insomnia
ana MS friend, Sir Charles Gaven
Duily' once suggested to him that one
WHO suffered SO much from sleepless-
ness and indigestion ought not to
SMOKE so constantly. Carlyle replied
that ne had once given up smoking for
an entire year at the instance of a doe
tor. who assured him that his only all
hlcht WAS 600 much tobacco. At the
end Of the year ne was walking one
evening i'll the country. so weary that
ne was hardly able to crawl from tree
90 tree, when he suddenly determined
lh0t Whatever was amiss with him
that fellow ut least did not under
stand it, and he returned to tobacco
ana smoked afterward without let or
hindr&nce. In his latter days he used
clap pipe made in Dublin and known
as the Repeal He was unable TO
renew the supply and Sir Charles Duffy
assured him that these pipes we're
strictly reserved for believers in Irish
nationality and promised him a supply
If he qualified in the ordinary man

US for publication last week the
announcement of wolf hunt for
December 18th, but the copy was
overlooked for some reason and
was not inserted. The round up of
wolves will take place on the above
date, however, and Mr.. Brown
hopes to see large crowd partici-
pate as it is to everyone's interest
to rid the country of these blood
thirsty animals as thoroughly rs
possible.
The plan of the chase is to meet

Holly and several other towns
along the valley were out of coal
a few days this week. The cause
of such a condition is not on ac-
count of any scarcity OF coal nor
of miners to get it out. The coal
mines Of Colorado are inexhansti-
BILE and every town in the state
would be supplied with all they
could use at all times were it not
for the fact that practically all the
mines are under the control of
that gigantic corporation, the Col
orado Fuel d. Iron Co. This COR
poration's method is to not only
charge an exhorbitant price for
their coal but to compel the people
to beg for it occasionally during
the winter months. The coal that
people here pay $3.50 per ton for
is sold in Topeka, 400 miles far
ther east, at S4.00 per ton. II
seems that this matter ought to be
regulated or adjusted in some
manner by the legislature 80 the
people could get coal when there
is plenty of it and when they have
money to pay for it.

SUGAR CAUSES GREAT CONTEST.

Republican Special. MANY con.
prese-. have been divided by the
issuc between the sugar trust and
the beet sugar producers OF the
West. and the one now in session
is being rapidly thrown int" dis
cord by the same question. 1t is
becoming one of the great contests
Of the session.
On one side are the president,
backed by strong members Of his
cabinet, appealing for relief for
CubHus from their view point of
humanity. and the sugar trust,
backed by the great men OF the
Standard Oh company, appealing
for cheaper raw material and hold
ing out inducement of lower price
to the consumer-au untaxed
workingman's breakfast table.
On the other side are the high
tariff Legislators, who, as matter
protection and revenue, oppose any
change III the sugar schedule: and
the beet sugar producers of the
West and the cane growers of
Louisiana, Hawaii and Porto Rico,
whose output amounts to millions
Of tons, very nearly half the entire
consumption in the United States.
AT $36'a ton, the average rate of
duty Oh raw sugar, the guard Of
the home producers is playing for
the high stake of 5000, 900.
Tho captain of the guard is Mr..
Henry I. O1nard, who has taken q
fine residence on Connecticut ave-
uue for the winter and will see tue
hght through to a finish. BE is
the real director OF the opposing
force, n calm and cool headed man,
who knows what he wants and can
marshal facts and ngures 10 sup
port his contentious.
Mr.. Oxnard stated the home
producers side of the case with
Hrest clesrness to-day. Summed
up it is this
Beet sugar men and Southern
planters ask only for equal condi-
tions with Cubans. Present pro.
lection offsets the difference of one
and three-quarter cents pound in
the cost of production.
Beet sugar producers have had
only five years of protection under
the Dingley law. 1t is not enough
for fair trial.
Given time, home production
can supply the entire home mark
ct, independent of the rest of the
world.
Let the president or congl 1888
authorize a commission to investi-
gate the entire subject, and those
opposed to Cuban reciprocity will
stand BY their report.
II have talked to President
Roosevelt long and earnestly
said Mr.. Oxnard. He is thor
oughly honest in his beliefs and
very much in earnest in his desire
to do something at once for the
business prosperity of Cubn. He
has given careful attention 10 the
reports Of Gov. Gen. Wood and is
we'll informed from the view points
of Cuba's needs.
"But this is only one side of the
question. l only ask him to give
= much thought to our side. 1t is
nothing more than fair. The
president is the busiest man in the

United States, ! fully realize.
Cuban reciprocity is only ,one OF
many questions which he mas to
consider. In all these matters he
must rely largely on reports that
are made to him. having no time
and little opportunity to make per-
sonsl investigation. But so far,
il seems To me. President Roosevelt
has listened to the testimony from
Cuba only, and he is actuated by
humanitarian motives rightly
enough.
THE needs OK the sugar raising
business at home. an industry that
should have protection quite as
much ss any other, should DE con-
sidered. and i, is only just that
they should be presented to the
president and congress before ac-
ton is taken. We shall propose
commission to investigate every
phase of the question and report.
, We have no fear of results
''Do you consider it a question
of ruination of either the sugar
producing industry at home or in
Cuba?" Mr.. Oxnard was asked.
ut certainly is question Of
ruination at home" he replied, "for
| under existing conditions we can-
not compete with Cubans. They
! get all their machinery from abroad
from As to so per cent cheaper
than we, on account of heavy i'm
port duties paid here. Their la
Dor, too, costs less.
I Cuba has not lost her markets,
as has been asserted. She still has
: Spain, where import duties still
are paid, and the United States.
She has had 100 years to develop
her industry, and We have had
only FIVE. Beet sugar men are not
making much money under the
protection of the Dingley law-onlv
E per cent on their investment.
But still under equal conditions Of
cost of machinery and labor. we
are willing to take chances along
with our rivals III the islands"
Has the sugar trust any fears
of rapid development of the beet
sugar industry
Without any doubt it has," he
replied. land wishes to crush it
out, and it is now using every pos.
sible means, backed up by large
interests in the STANDARD Oil com
pany to have raw material brought
in free. It's motives are altogeth-
er selfish, but at the same time it
is drawing largely on the admins
tration argument for relief for
Cuba. Within the last few months
the trust forced down the price OF
raw sugar in Cuba 30 per cent, and
now is drawing pathetic picture
of starving Cubans.
"The loss of revenue which the
government would sutfer-nearly
$50, 900, ,OO0-would go into the
holders OF sugar trust stock and
there would still be the starving
Cubans, to say nothing of tremen-
dous losses sustained by the men
who invested their money in tL,
Infant industry at home under en-
couragement of the national gov
ernment."

veloping under existing protec-
