All Equal There.

Here is a beautiful gem from
the funeral Grafton at the grave of
Congressman Burn, delivered by
the late John j. ingalls,.
"In the democracy of death all
men are at last equal. There is
neither rank nor station nor pre-
rogative in the republic OF the
grave. At this fatal threshold
the philosopher ceases to be wise
and the poet is silent. Dives
relinquishes his millions aud
Lazarus his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the richest, and the
rich man as poor as the pauper.
The creditor loses his usury and
the debtor is acquitted cf his Oh
legation. There the proud man
surrenders his dignities, the poll
tician his honors, the wording
his pleasures, the invalid needs
no physician, and the laborer
r''sts from his unIequtted toll.

notwithstanding the reiterated
assertions of our Republi n
friends that this country is Just
now overrun and gorged, as it
we're, with prosperity the nu-
merous strikes now on in these
United States indicate feeling
of unrest and want of confidence
between employer and employee
which bodies no good to our peo-
pie. We may look for the cause
of this, not to the trades unions
alone, but to the fact that a num-
Der of our largest Trusts have
combined together to down these
unions and break them up. Thus,
in each utriks the workingman
knows that he is fighting not only
for his daily bread and butter but
for the very life of his highly
priced union. Hence the despcr-
alton with which they battle.
"Unionism," per Sc, is all right.
1t has been given legal status in
the courts of the United States,
which have decided that its label
shall not be infringed upon; they
have been acknowledged as pro
per and necessary by some OF our
most distinguished political econ
omists. But the unions should
kick overheard the walking del
egate." He is their storm center,
who battens and grows rich from
their misfortunes. But properly
conducted these unions are a good
thing. They prevent the Ameri'
can workman from being degrad-
ed to the level of the pauper labor
of the old world. They enable the
American artisan to retain his
self-respect: and they serve as a
balance wheel to our free institu-
tions.

This is, OF course, based upon the actual
number OF children reported in the last

enough fictitious names must be added
to the small districts to bring the num-
Der to IS, and under the reapportion-
ment the per capita for Crittenden coun-
ty will probably be few cents less than
the above.

THE BYSTANDER, CIVIS
SECUNDUS AND CIGARETTES

Editor Advertiser: "Bystander" in
last Sundays paper comments on cigar
cites, Cant and Japanese. Allow me
brief space to remark thereon. Cant,
aptly called, the 'Materia prima of the
devil has nothing to do, or very re-
motely, with physiological effects All
the cant of all the religious humbugs of
all the world will alter no physical fact;
neither will all the indifference. cynic-
ism, satire or banter of 'Bystander" de-
tract from the undoubted and hardly
questioned, evils of cigarette smoking.
For some reason, best known to them
selves, cigarette smokers very generally
inhale the smoke, the delicate tissues of
the lungs and air passages being thus
Immediately acted upon by whatever
there is of poisonous matter to impair
their integrity Like a buzz-saw which
whirls its teeth and cuts from the length
and breath of wood as it is applied, so
the inhalation of each poison-ladened
breath, with its quick and venomous ac-
ton, cuts into the length and breadth of
life. The hoemoglobin of the blood on
its mission for oxygen is attacked at the
very threshold of the lungs, and for
various reasons heretofore explained,
every function of the body has its ac-
counts to render for the ravages of the
cigarette. '-( Aristocracy OF Health, p.
27o)
Being true that the japanese are, as
Bystander says, zone of the hardest and
most intelligent races in the world, does
it follow. is it a reasonable corollary
that becahse they are a cigarette-srnok-
ing race, therefore the habit or use of
tobacco in any form IS harmless p What
moral asks Bvstander, is to be drawn
from their cigarette propensities p II,

NEW
SOUTH SEA BOOK

The following advance announce
ment of c. w. Stoddard's new book,
which deals with Hawaii, has been is
sued:
So serious was Mr.. Charles Warren
Stoddard's recent illness that the news
papers of California, where he is best
known and perhaps best beloved, took
his death for granted and printed ap-
precautions of his work and final esti-
mates of his career. Even when he did
recover. however, his physician held out
to him small hopes of resuming his lit
erary work for at least two years.
Nevertheless his industry and courage
did not desert him, and the recent
tentative announcements of a new book
from his pen, shortly to be issued by
Herbert B. Turner & Co, have made
it clear that the author of South Sea
Idyls" is still with US. AT his horne in
Cambridge, Mr.. Stoddard has told a
friend something of the contents of his
new work. In THE Island of Tranquil
Delights he has attempted to outdo
the peculiar charm of South Sea
Idyls' and to dispell the public idea
that that charming work is his only
book. 1t naturally annoys any author
to be thought of solely as the author
of single masterpiece, as Joe Jeffer-
son is condemned to be remembered
as nothing but Rip Van Wrinkle and as
Edwin Booths unquestionable range of
tragic art is restricted to his Hamlet.
In THE Island of Tranquil Delights
Mr.. Stoddard daringly returns to the
scenes of his earlier book, to Hawaii
and Tahiti, with a confidence that his
second pilgrimage to the South Seas
will be as worthy in results as his first.
The alluring title of the book is also
the title of one of it's leading sketches.
that the delights of a vanished life that
was almost inconceivably childlike and
free from rivalry and strife will be sue
cessfully presented.
"Kane-Aloha,' another of the
sketches. describes the mingled fun and
sadness in the mistake the native Ha-
waiians made in handling the convent
ences'' of civilization, and ION the
Reef" does more. 1t bewails the unpre-
ventable disappearance of the former
life of the Islanders before an encroach-
ing civilization" which it fails with
fierce satire for doing nothing but de-
bauch a supplemented people and ruin
a splendid old regime. Some of the
sketches were written before Mr.. Stod-
dard's illness, but the bulk of the work
has been done since, and has never
been in print. The book is scheduled
for early fall.

standard Auto Type.

| PARIS, Sept. SC. F. Kimball of
Chicago, coach builder. is here studying
the latest innovations in automobile
bodies. He expresses the opinion that
the types ultimately will be stereotyped
as with horse-drawn conveyances, caus-
ing a very considerable reduction in
prices
The enormous amount of individual
ity now put into the construction of
the automobile body viii finally crys-
tallize into the best style. Mr.. Kimball
notices that the tendency in Paris as
well as in America is to closed bodies
with side entrances.
Peter Cooper Hewitt, interviewed on
the subject of automobiles, expressed
his opinion that the alleged superiority
OF the French and German machines
over the American is due to the greater
market in Europe, rendering possible
simultaneous construction in enormous
numbers. The bad American roads are
also the cause of orders remaining linn
tied. He thinks the live axle will be
universally adopted and that chain
driven machines are daomed.
He predicts great future for auto
boats, in the construction of which
America is not behind the continent.
LONDON, Sept. 3.-Though automo-
biles are comparatively rare in the
streets of London, the increasing pop
ularity of automobiles in England is
revealed in a striking manner by the
home Office returns. On April last the
number of automobiles and motor
cycles registered in England and Wales
was: Automobiles, 1892; motor cycles,
,14771.

care and caution which the circunl-
stances reasonably required and that the
damage to the house-boat was due to
such failure From the evidence OF
witnesses for the libellees there is no
doubt in the courts mind that there
was a swell that made it obviously dan
gerous for the house-boat to go to sea.
On the question of condition of the
house-boat the court says:
THAT the inherent wealz2 IS of the
house-boat was not such as to make II
unsafe to take her to sea lsnder any con-
ditions is shown by the tact that she
was lowed from Honolulu to Pearl har-
Dor in the open sea bv the iibellees with
in a year before the accident"
A decision in point is quoted where
II was held that ''tlle maritime skill and
care thus called for is such as is reason
able in that service and under the con-
ditions such as may reasonably be de-
11anded under the peculiar circumstances
and emergencies of the case"
The claim of total loss and the full
damage stated in the lease was pressed
by counsel for the libellant under the
rules of practice IN maritime insurance.
But" the decision says, 1t is doubt
full if such rules can be applied to a
case of this kind, and if they could,
there has been no abandonment of what
remained of the boat-house-a scow III
good condition-an indispensable condi-
ton of recovery for total loss in insur-
ance cases. The United States Reports
have some cases of collision in which a
tendency is shown TO approximate to the
rule in marine insurance" In conclusion
Judge Dole says:
GG,T~l.o Of daY11aoec this "a Sc
is the injury to the house-boat at the
time of the accident Mr.. Hughes, who
built her, says the scow cost seven hun
dred dollars and that he would not I'M
dertake to put the house-boat back in her
old condition as originally constructed
less the deterioration of the hull for less
than two thousand dollars. Mr. Alrny
SAYS the original cost was about twenty
two hundred and fifty dollars, and fit
ting her up for libellees' use cost nearly
three hundred dollars more making a
total of twenty-five hundred and fifty
dollars. Why the superstructure' should
now cost two thousand dollars when it
originally cost but fifteen hundred and
fifty. or eighteen hundred and fifty with
the additions made. the scow having cost
seven hundred dollars, was not explain
ed. No evidence has been introduced
as to deterioration of the house-boat and
yet there must have been some. My
estimate of the damages suffered by the
libellant, is eighteen hundred and fifty
dollars and a decree will be entered for
that amount with costs
