what CRuses sore Lips and ThFOats


Among Cigar COnsumers.
Gin ncinnati Enquirer


We yesterday received the follow
ing communication from we'll
known German physician of this
city. 1t will bear careful thought:


MEDIoALADvIoE TO SMOKERS.
Having a great deal of lips and
throat complaints among my gen.
tlemen clients for the last six
months, | have made it a study to
find out where the evil laws, and
came to the conclusion that it's the
injurious color with which soue of
our cigar dealers darken their
cigars. In a conversation with a
prominent dealer in this city the
other day, he admitted that, as
there is a great deal more demand
for dark cigars that the tobacco
yields, therefore, most of the deal
era are naturally forced, in order to
please their trade, to use the un-
healthy stuff so as to produce the
desired dark cigars. Smokers,
take the advice of an old medical
man and smoke medium or light
cigars only, as these the dealers and
manufacturers cannot doctor up.


PHYSICIAN.


A reporter of the Enquirer in
terviewed a number of retail cigar
dealers last evening on the subject,
and met with an almost universal
assurance that the above named
system of coloring cigars exists to
a certain extent.


" Why" said one dealer, "nine-
tenths of our customers call for
dark cigars Of late. When l tell
you that half of the tobacco raised
is of light color, you will recognize
the necessity of coloring il"


Another dealer said that pro-
ducers could raise dark tobacco if
they wished, because the color came
from the amount of nicotine in the
leaf, and not from the manner of
curing. Still another dealer held
that the reason there was an un-
usual demand for dark cigars this
year was because the Havana crop
of last season all cured light, aud
cigars made from it were not suf-
aciently strong 10 suit the usual
smoker. All but one, however,
admitted that the ooloring process
was praoticed BY many dealers ofI
late, owing to The increased demand
for dark, strong cigars, Dark
cigars, made from dark tobacco,

WASHINGTON, June B,


The tobacco manufacturers are a.Sin
besieging Congress with demands for the
reduction of the tax on manufactured
tobacco. Virginia Is especially strong in
her representation, with heavy reinforce
ments from every portion OF the West,
South snd East, in which tobacco is man
utsctured They coma asking lmmedi-
ate action a. measure Of simple justice
to large and important Industry.
To overcome the objections of those who
tear further decline in the revenue,
they exhibit statistics 10 show that under
a low tax tue revenue from this source
WAS greater than under high tax, and
that consumption increases ss,the tax de-
creases. They make the strong point
that the revenue from tobacco is raised
mainly from pool people who use the low
grades, which pay an enormous percent
age on the cost Of manufacture.
A low grade, which sells at thirty-tive
cents per pound, has TO pay twenty-four
cents into the treasury, and this, 1t Is
held, bears heavily on the poor man,
while It invites fraud and actually de-
prives the government of revenue. The
manufacturers think that sixteen cents
per pound would be ample. They say
that nobody in the business but commls-
sion men asks to have the present tax
continued.

Lowell has first-class horror. Yesterday

a white woman or girl was found on the
river bank, at the foot of O'Fallon avenue, a
couple of hundred yards east of where the
Hanson bone-yard was. The spot is one
seldom visited by any one, and body might
lie there a month without being discovered.

We have question Co asR ou4 neighbcr, tho Atkins News, It is this: Why does that paper advise the voters of our county to vote against removal of the County Seat? To keep the County Seat at Dover will nccessitate the levy of . tax upon the people to rebuild the old Court house, but if the removal is made the new house will be built at Russellvillc without Q cent oftax being imposed upon the people. As matter of political economy it is therefore far better to have the Coun- ty Seat at Russellville. As a matter of convenience to the majority of the whole County RussellviIle has de- cided advantage. These two points involve the most important issues connected with the question. We take it for granted that the News as County paper is going to work for the best interests of the WHOLE County, but we cannot reconcile it's course in the County Seat question with desire to serve the best inter ests of the County. Hence the ques- tion: Why do you favor the non-re- moval of the County Seat? We have our surmises but will give you the benefit af yaur own ausxar

Economy in the administration oi our County affairs is certainly high ly commendable as we'll as highly necessary at this time. But there are some kinds of economy which are very risky and dangerous. The old saying, "Penny-wise and pound foolish," expresses It. It does not pay to risk losing hundred dollars when we can secure ourselves against the loss of it for a trife.

 But what we started out to call attention to is the fact that Pope county has no safe wherein to keep the public funds and that it is high ly important that we should have one. The County Treasurer's office should be supplied with good fire and burglar-proof safe. The Treas urer is under heavy bond and it is certainly imposing 2 great responsl- bility npon him to require him to keep the public funds without any safe. A good safe can be procured now at prices greatly reduced from what they were some few years back, and we are of the opinion that the next term of our County Court should make an appropriation and include it Tn their next tax-levy to bpy one,

This question is suggested by hearing candidate ask voter to vote for him.

 We would like to know what that candidate considers 8 yote9 Does he suppose that an intelligent man who knows why he votes will give his vote merely as an act of friend ship.

 The man who appreciates the right of suffrage will often vote for lIis personal enemy if if he be the cannidate who will carry out his wishes better than ouc who is his friend. Every voter should remem- Der 9hat his vote may determine whether we have good or bad laws-whether tEe country is to prosper or not, for laws cannot be made except the lewislature votes for them and men can not be mem bers of the legislature except by the votes of the people. So every voter will vote not for friendship but for good his country's Sood.

 To ask an intelligent man, there fore, to vote for you as an act of friandship $ to insult his intelligence. Tell the voter what you inteod to do and assure him that you will do wha you say. Then if you are going to do what he wishes and are the best mau among to do that, he will vote for you. Treat the voters as sensi- ble men, if you would secure their respect and confidence.

ing occurrences in Little Rock leads to the inquiry why the law against carrying deadly weapons is not cn- forced there as we'll as elsewhere. We yerily believe n majority of the citizens of that place go armed at all times.

 The first number of the Atkins News, dated Thursday, August 8, reached us last Friday. The name of our good-looking young friend. Mir. D. o. Bell, is at the head of it's columns as editor and publisher. He makes but few promises in his salutatory, merely saying that he will continue the paper as long as he can make it q success financially and otherwise. The News is gotten up on the cooperative plan, but the homemade" part is first rate. We trust the Atkins people will give the News liberal support and that it may prosper long to help the 'oid reliable" DEMOCRAT work for the up building and enlightenment of good old Pope County.

 Why is it that Atkins is oppos- ed to the present effort to move the county seat2 We see no reason why she should oppose it, and can guess but one reason, and that is this l: That town knows she stands no showing for it NOW, but if she can get action deferred for couple of years, until the large german and catholic population which is expect ed will settle on the railroad lands there become VOTERS, then she will be able to carry the county seat to that place, notwithstanding it is right in tho corner of the county. This, we suspicion. is tEe secret of Atkins present professed sympathy for Dover. But just wait until that town gets strong enough to carry her point, and you will see how much sympathy she has for the north part of the county.

THE COUNTY SEAT Ns1NGss

 It is charged by Esq. Wm. Rey- holds he OUGHT to know something about CoURrHousE rings) that there is county seat ring at Russellvillc. At Gumlog, we are reliably informed he named the editor of this paper as the head of the ring. Now, Esq. Reynolds is as badly mistaken about this matter, as he was when he sup posed he could ride into the County Judgeship on this anti-removal bob by. If there is any ring here, we krow nothing about it, and we pro- fess to be in a position where we would know all about it if there was one. We do not deny having work ed earnestly in conjunction with . number of Rnssellville's best citi- zens to procure the ordering of the present election But we deny that we have done anything secretly, sly ly or illegitimately to secure this end. We have worked openly, fairly, honorably, earnestly and above board. We did this not only because we believed it for the best interests of the Covnty, but because we want ed the court house here We have shown m energy and enterprise in the matter which proves that we have live town, and we believe that the taxpayers will appreciate it and give us the Court house.

 If there is any ring at all, we charge that the Ring or combi- nation has been worked up AGAINST Russellville. It is common rumor that Atkins, Dover and Scottville has combination to defeat Russell vile from getting the County seat. W uV uOt AuOW WuctHCl Suto 10 ea uS or not, but from the utterances given ont by the Atkins paper which states that the people of THREE parts of the county will settle the matter and that Rnssellville is out Tn the cold BY HERSELF in this matter, we are inclined to believe there may be some foundation for the rumor.

 But we shall see whether Russell vile has any friends or not, and we opine that when the election comes she will have enongh to carry the county seat here by handsome ma jority.

 Move up Squire, and join the ring and perhaps you can get the con tract for building the new house.

 The shape whish tAs saee for the Ctssu1s Judgsship h this Judicial Distsics has assnncd is very mpch te be-sasrsstsd indeed, and not only smsasrasaing tO the Eegalar nominee of the Denocratic party but sasO to the party itself in this district. Amidst all the complications of the case, we do not see any easy or ready solution for the difficulty. As we view it tho best thing that can be done is to let things take their natu- ral course. We can not see how Col. Jacoway can be forced to abandon the race now, without doing great injustice to him. For him to step dowu now will place him in the atti tude of fleeing from the charges pre- ferred against him. To ask him to do 50, is pronouncing judgement against him upon the exparte state ments of men who are known to be bitter enemies of his and whose minds are so strongly prejudiccd that none of them would be allowed to sit upon jury in any case where such well known prejudice exists. Col. Jacoway IS entitled to an ac- quittal of the charges and to the consideration due an innocent party, until he is pronounced guilty by some court of competent jurisdiction, after a fair and impartial trial. There Is . proper method of proceed ure in all matters of this kind. If Col. Jacoway is guilty of the charg es alledged against him he is, of course, unfit to occupy the high po- sition to which he aspires. But how shall we ascertain whether he is guilty or not? Will it do to take these ex-parte statements of bitter enemies and pronounce judgement against him upon them alone? Never! There has been no case made against him yet sufficiently clear to justify such high handed measure. Thus far he has faced every charge and has made a defense which is as strong as the attack.

 The laws of the land provide a method for relieving the people and the bench of a corrupt or disquali- fed Judge. When Col. Jacoway be- comes Judge this method can be ap- piled to him, and THEN will be the time for the gentlemen who profess such great love for pure judiciary to make good their charges. THEN, too, will be the time for Col. Jacoway to purge himself of the charges against him. Then 8 fair and im- partial hearing will be given to both sides, and the decision, whatever it may be, will carry conviction and respect with it. It will be final and binding. Al we view it, it is best to let Col. Jacoway's candidacy alone, and let the charges against him go through the proper channel. An investigation which may be patched up by the mutual friends of the parties will be of no account, and no good can come from departing from the regular proper method.
