THE INTEMPERANCE OF IT.
The American is becoming a universal cigar smoker.
The habit, which is indulged in to a most extravagant
extent, is reaching the farmer and bis boy. "Smokers"
as an evening entertainment in lieu of a repast or ban
quet, are becoming frequent. The habit is both costly
end injurious. The cigar habit begets dyspepsia more
surely than the pipe. But more and more is everybody
in Amorica taking to cigar smoking and the number of
factories and stands are on the increase. A cigar stand
In an ordinary hotel is equivalent to a good living. The
cigar bill of the American people last year was $346.
000,000. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, ac
cording to the report recently issued by the commis
eioner of internal revenue, 6.905.749.96S cigars were
consumed in the United States. That was very nearly
1S.000.000 cigars for every day of the 3G5 in the year.
This does not include the 2.65S.176.130 cigarettes we
tlow, in nor the upward of 315,003,000 pounds of snuff
and tobacco we consume. The revenue collected on all
this by the government is over $70,000,000 and is on the
Increase; In fact the income increases faster than the
population itself. The man who does not smoke con
tributes nothing to our annual bill of $346,000,000 for
cigars,, but oh,,how much comfort he loses in not being a
human smokestack.
- ? . A KANSAS ORATOR IN CHICAGO. w
Wherever and whenever a representative son of Kan
E"as holds-forth then and there a sensation can be counted
dri: The sons: of Sunfiowerdom are a typical lot and
they shine wherever they have a show. They are the
product and survival of the warmth, the wind and the
whirl of a region which was designated the Great Amer
ican Desert by ancient and rusty geographers evidently
because of the superiority of its altitude. Every extra
altitude is not necessarily a mountain or a
desert, even if generally they are both. Where
altitude means an upness in the mountain
states to our west, an upnes-s of bronzed rocks
and barren peaks, for Kansas the distance above sea
level meant a. higher civilization, an exaltation of char
acter, and a superior mental caliber for her sires and
elms, while it is a well attested fact that her mothers and
daughters are equal to anything besides being equal also
to their fathers and husbands, everywhere, and upon all
occasions except at the ballot-box, but still ahead of
them when it comes to clubs. As an instance, at one of
these clubs; the other day, a patriotic Kansas daughter
offered the toast, "Here's to the pioneer fathers of Kan
Bas, who endured all the depriyations of a border exist
ence;" whereupon her Kansas mother jumped to her
feet with. "Here's to the pioneer mothers of Kansas, who
endured all the pioneer fathers endured, and endured the
said pioneer fathers: also." Such mothers are wont to
bear exceptional sons, and it is said that some of these
mothers want to vote. But we stray, digress. It is Kan
sas men that we delight to write about, being entirely
content with but just a look at Kansas- women. "We
were alluding in a complimentary way to Kansas sons.
The inspriation for the allusion is found in some Chicago
papers praising, and unstintedly, the speech of Jim
Troutman of Topeka, who had been sent for to address
the Marquette club on Lincoln's birthday. Troutman
might have been governor of Kansas if he hadn't been
a little too good in a certain direction. And, by the way,
we could name another fellow who might have been gov
ernor of Kansas but for the fact that he wasn't good
enough in that same direction. But this is a farther di
gression. Troutman in that speech at Chicago did him
self proud, exalting his commonwealth greatly in the I
estimation of the distinguished and patriotic assemblage
which took it all in, a commonwealtli, by the way, that
nevertheless has its drawbacks, as also its drawfronts.
It is-bounded on the west by Colorado, a state which is
trying to steal a Kansas river. There is: nothing small
about Colorado. At the other end we have Missouri,
which, when it comes to stealing from Kansas, doesn't
stop at anything, eyen at pigs or provender. Its people
are now intent on stealing the only pickle factory
boasted by the state. Colorado depends- on her cheek,
Missouri on discriminating freight rates. However,
Troutman injected, in his talk, some telling things, and
the house came down, figuratively, like a thousand brick
or so. .Long, another Kansan, was to have delivered
himself of a speech, on the same day, to an away up New
York aggregation, but the brick didn't fall down in his
case. -It was he himself who fell down and on account
of sickness in the family, and so lost the opportunity for
setting Chicago's rival papers to saying complimentary
things ako about our sons that shine, whether there are
clouds or ain't But this is another side-track slide. What
we started out to say was that Hon. James A. Troutman
of Kansas delivered himself of a splendid speech in Chi
cago, and in connection therewith to publish the two
notes referring to the same herewith appended. The
first is from the Chicago Record-Herald and is in these
words:
"Former Lieutenant Governor James A. Troutman of
Kansas was the next speaker, and his toast was "Six
Years of Republican Achievement." After the banquet
ers had risen and sung "Illinois" through, he reviewed
the works that had been accomplished for the better
ment of the people of the nation in the past six years
of the rule of the party which was proud to hail Abra
ham Lincoln as its own. "In 1S96 the Republicans de
clared that a return to Mr. McKInley's protective policy
would restore confidence, rehabilitate factories and re
generate commerce,' he said. 'Six years of Republican
achievements' stand as a fulfillment of Republican proph
ecies and a redemption of Republican promises. The
diplomatic triumphs of the last six years are the crown
ing glory of our civilization. We have been four times
tested in the crucible of war. We have completed the
circle of national perils.' "
The next complimentary excerpt is clipped from the
Topoka Herald, and reads:
"One of the officers of the Marquette club in Chicago,
In writing a friend in Topeka about the recent banquet
"at which James A. Troutman was one of the speakers-,
says: "We never had a finer lot of speeches. Mr. Moody,
secretary of the navy, and Governor Cummings of Iowa,
made notably strong addresses, but the great hit of the
evening was the speech of Governor Troutman of To
poka. He kept his hearers in a roar of delight from start
to finish. When he closed the 600 banqueters arose as
one man and tendered him such an ovation as I have
never before 'witnessed in the club. Nearly all of the
brilliant orators of the nation have been before us, but
no speech ever made at our meetings has elicited such
universal praise as Troutman's." 4
WAR NOW BEGINS IN ACRE.
The indications are that all the bastard or half made
up republics of South America would be involved, in war
within six mouths. Maps of South America delimit the
northern part of Bplivia as a triangle, of which the base
is the Beni river. This triangle constitutes the Territory
of Acre. The greater part has been tlaimed by Bolivia,
but Brazil and Peru assert their rights to a certain slice.
The region is rich in natural resources, rubber being its
most profitable product, arid the situation is such that
exports may be sent by way of the Amazon river and
its tributaries to the Atlantic.
The proper division of Acre has long been a matter
of dispute. Peru has not pressed her claims very hard.
Brazil has limited her contentions to a narrow strip of
territory. In 1S99 Bolivia and Brazil appointed a joint
commission to rectify the frontier. Bolivia ratified the
agreement arrived at by the commission. Brazil refused
to ratify because Bolivia had meanwhile granted extens
ive concessions in Acre to a rubber syndicate, organized
by Mr. Whitridge of New York. These concessions, ac
cording to Brazilian agitators, endanger Brazilian sov
ereignty. At the present time Bolivians- and Brazilians are in
conflict in Acre. A Bolivian army, headed by Senor
Pando, th-e Bolivian president, is on the way to the
scene of trouble, and Brazil is hurrying troops and sup
plies to her frontier.
