SOME NICOTINE PHILOSOPHY.
Iobacconists Who Have Their Own

AoDaccon1StS Who Have Their Own Unique Ideas of advertising. Iobacconists in old Greenwich will lage seem to have a peculiar fondness
 Tor hanging out hand made bits of wise philosophy for the advertisement of their wares. One sagely reflects as fol- lows upon sheet of white paper in front of his store: 'sWhat is home without love? What is man without tobacco? A bunch of misery" Another observes candidly, We are human. Therefore we are vain. Hence l 1t pleases us to know that our cigars 1 please you"
 Another, in the same tone of thought l full gravity, inks his sheet as follows: l Mankind is composed of diversity of individuals, My stock is composed of a diversity of tobacco. The inference is obvious
 l The man who hangs Biblical pictures | in his window is inclined to be ribald.
 A lurid presentment of the first mur-
 der is explained by the statement that
 Gain killed Abel for bunch of Blank s
 cigars. Another of Adam and Eve in
 summer costume announces that: "Adam and Eve didn't know good from
 bad until they ate the apple. So you don't know a good from q bad smoke
 until you smoke one of Blanks cigars.
 The proprietor and manufactures | then breaks into virile prose in the first
 person. Don't stand and gape. Don't | tell me you patronise me because
 have large family to support, or I'll throw you out Don't ask for-anyone
 of long list of brands-for I have
 enough to do to make a 1O-cent cigar

Sow the wind and reap the whirl- wind" That's what the republicans of the house and senate of the fifty-sev- enth congress have done, They have ridden rough shod over the minority and now they are repenting in sack cloth and ashes. The filibuster in the house and senate during the last week of this congress has been productive of great good, not alone to the people and their pocketbooks by the decapitation of numerous bills that were steals pure and simple, but it has been a salutary lesson to the arrogant majority. They have been returned so often to power by the votes of the people in the last ten years that they have come to look upon the perquisites of office as pc culiarly their own, and that they could do as they pleased and the democrats would sit down meekly and calmly and look on. But the worm will turn at last, and sometimes man refuses to turn the other cheek after being smit- ten on one. You can kick a tramp out doors when he is plumb busted and he will not resent it; but put $2O bill in his pocket and then kick him and he will knock you down. The democrats have been buoyed up lately by the mistakes of the republicans, and the $20 bill of almost assured success in bthe next campaign, and they have come to the conclusion that it is high time 1 to assert their rights and compel the republicans to recognize them, and they are doing so with vengeance that has made the republicans gasp for breath.

ently frank, and I'm going to give you 15 cents. Where in the world did you get such perverted ideas?'
 My dear sir, If you will consult the writings of any first-class philosopher from Socrates to ,rolstof, you will find my. opinion akin to theirs. The ever lasting ills of mankind come from do- ing unnecessary things. The most ne cessary thing for me to do now is to get good, hot beef stew. Good day, sir. hope you will not be late to to church.

The Useful Newspaper.

Many claims have been made on be- half of the modern newspaper. It is now held forward as the only reason able cure both of cold and poverty. If you stretch it over you at night, it is better than warming pan, better than an eiderdown quilt. If you roll it up into wet balls and put it on the fire. it does instead of coals.

TO CONCLUDE DEBATE.
senate VIII Get Through With
statehood BiII This Week.

Washington. Feb. S.-Al indications
point To the conclusion of the debate
on the statehood bill during the pres
ent week, but no one can tell at this
time just when in the week the change
will come, or how it will come.
If the plans of the Republican lead
ers, who oppose the statehood bill. are
put into effect, the Committee on Ter
ritories will bring in a substitute bill
early in the week providing for con-
Solidation and the admission of two
states. This probably will not be done,
however, unless assurances can be Sc
cured that the full Republican vote can
be obtained for the consolidation.
If this plan does not take shape,
Senator Quay is likely to press his
statehood amendment on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill and a test of
strength would ensue. A vote on this
amendment, if taken, would be very
close, and while the omnibus bill adVo-
Gates feel that they have majority,
they realize that it will not be so large
as 1t would be on a direct vote on the
statehood bill alone, and by itself. All
senators are becoming very restless
under the present conditions, and it
is evident that they cannot long con-
tinue.
Tomorrow, i'm accordance with no.
tiCe given by Senator Allison, the bill
making appropriations for the District
of Colombia will be taken up. An eff
fort will also be made during the week
to secure consideration of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. A portion of the
time next Saturday viii be devoted to
eulogies on the lives Of deceased mem
bers of the House.

England the First.
MEXICO is PLEASED.
Glad President Roosevelt is Giving
silver His Attention.


City Of Mexico. Feb. S.-There is
great interest taken here in the action
of the American government in behalf
of silver, and President Roose-
velt's willingness to aid in
the solution of problem, of
such vital Importance to this country,
is creating an excellent feeling. The
attitude of the American government
is considered most friendly.
The monetary commission to study
the silver question here is a local meas
ure which attracts favorable attention.
Not for many years has so important
and representative a body of banking,
industrial and commercial experts been
convoked, and it is believed to augur
much good in bringing about a better
popular understanding, here, of the I'M
derlying difficulties attending the set
tlement of this complicated matter. The
government has. won praise by it's jul
dicious action. for now it is seen that
it is proposed to act only on advice
from the most representative men.
One of the questions of great inter-
est, and one which the committee will
investigate, is the present large quanti-
ty of silver money in the country. Not
withst9nding many new banks have
come into existence, it is pointed out by
Finance Minister Limantour that
it is still the custom, IN
many parts of the country,
among merchants and wealthy private
persons to keep large amounts of coin
ed silver in private safes. An effort
Will be made to ascertain scientifically
the amount of currency. both metallic
and paper, which the country requires
for its business

STREETS UNDER WATER.

In Low Places I'm Augusta, but
Flood is Not Feared.
Augusta, Feb. s.-After a persistent
season of rain, Augusta had dry Sun
day with occasional hours of sunshine.
The continuous rains have brought the
river up rapidly in the past twenty-four
hours.
Yesterday it measured eighteen feet,
and tonight it is thirty-two feet. The
rise is now very gradual, and those ia
miliar with the river and the rainfall,
say it will probably reach a standstlll
without rising more than a foot higher.
One or two low streets in the upper
end of town. near to the river. have
water in them, but there is a margin Of
three feet. and perhaps more, in which
the river could rise without doing any
material damage in the city.

Governor Given Unlimited Power
for Completing n Battalion.
st. Petersburg. Feb Sin the recent
decree, in which the Gar ordered Sc
we're disciplinary measures against all
Finlanders who failed to comply with
their military obligations in 1902, the
Emperor invests Gen. Bobrikoff. the
Governor of Finland. with unlimited
powers for completing a Finnish bat
talon.
The public interpret this step as Civ
ing Gen. Bobrikoff authority to accept
persons who fall below the medical and
physical requirements. The fact that
$50 men required for this battalion were
not secured from 1880 obedient re-
cruits. apparently confirms previous as
sertions that only those Fins who are
nearly certain of rejection. or have le-
gal exemption from service, offered
themselves.
The stubboruness of the resistance Of
the Finlanders is further illustrated by
the governments inability to find pos
tai officials willing to sanction the OPP
ening of letters. The order to open
suspicious mail and confiscate contra
band matter was prepared last sum-
mer. The honored old postmaster gem
eral has resigned rather than sign the
order. tH

Of Parliament, admirals and other
prominent men, which was formed Feb.
l to agitate the question of the securi-
ty of Great Britain's food supply in
time of war, issued statement to-day
in which the opinion Is expressed, that
in the event of Great Britain becoming
involved in European war, the coun-
try must be prepared to see bread at
practically famine price.
Various reasons are given as the ba-
sis for this opinion. The chief reasons
ire that the greatest source of Great
Britain's food supply is the United
States, where the price of wheat can
be raised artificially. and that the corn
trade on both sides of the Atlantic
would expect to make profits on scale
commensurate with the war risks.
