PERSUASIVE ORATORY.
In the presence of that 32,000 or so
republican plurality in Vermont due
credit should be given to two famous
orators^who undoubtedly had a great
deal to do with rolling it up. We refer
to Bourke Cochrun and Edward M.
Shepard, of New York. Those two went
to Vermont with the republican pamph
let qontaiumg Secretary Hay’s and Elihu
Root’s speeches as a text of their oratory.
They set their intellectual teeth into this
pamphlet and tore it into smithereens
in the presence of large but bewildered
audiences who had not heard what offices
Hay and Root were running for.
Shepard’s speech was published in
full in New York City, filling about eight
columns of the newspapers. The mug
wump editors stepped around it with
their hats off and said in subdued voices
that the least to be expected of such an
appeal to the mind and conscience of
Vermont was a revolution that would
nearly or quite wipe out the usual re
publican plurality. When they read the
returns on Tuesday night they were re
minded of this touching and beautiful
poem:
“Mary bad a little lamb.
It’a fleece was white as hqow,
She took it to Pittaburg
And now look at the d— thing."
The mugwump aditor of the New York
Times with these lines ringing in his earn,
turned to his desk and wrots for his
paper the next morning:
“The republican plurality in Vermont
does not Warrant any inference that the
■•ntiment of the northeast has under
gone any revolutionary change on ao
oount of the return of the democratic
party to sound doctrine on the money
question.”
His fellow sufferer on the “Evening
Post” who was also looking at tbs d—n
thing wrote that “it would ba idle to
dwy that the state election in Vermont
in a president*] year has hitherto been
an accurate index of the drift of public
sentiment throughout the nation,” but
all the same he did not consider “yester
day’s victory a reason why all hope of
Judge Parker’s election should be
abandoned." Moat of the hope had gone
yon see but a little remnant. All that
it is necessary for Parker to do is to
turn the country around during the next
two months. If he cun do that he will
be elected..
The moral at Vermont for the demo
crats seems to be to let the speeches ot
Hay and Boot alone, to forbid all their
campaign orators to advertise them by
mentioning thorn. The more they are
talked about the more they are read
and the reading ot them is unhealthy for
the democratic partv.
Live every day so you can look every
man in the eye and tell him to go to boll.
—Western philosophy.
In Tuesday,s issue the editor of the
Bntte Miner applied the title of coward
to the editor of the Evening Newt..
From the spnuk and bravery displayed
by Mr. Keith, one is lead to the belief
that Ex-Mayor Edwards ot Helena,
hasn’t called on him for some. time.
The hunter who mistakes his com
panions for d.er, bear, or antelope,
mountain lion and the like, and “shoots
them up a lot,” is again abroad in the
land. An nnbuppy hunter near Neihart
in this state recently wav killed by a
camping companion at night, the latter
mistaking him for a deer and shooting
him in the head. The prevalence ot ench
accidents during the hunting season
indicates the widespread existence of the
most foolish idea that everything that
moves about in the woods or hills during
the hunting time must be a game
animal. The hunters who do such
killings generally shoot at “a dim object,"
or “something moving in the brush.”
It is high lime that, in civilized districts,
this bad practice should be peremptorily
abandoned. Hunters, campers and other
gunners should begin to adopt the theory
that “everything in sight is not game,"
whether it can be seen distinctly or not.
There are no “Indian countries” now,
full of lurking savages who bud to be
potted at the first rustle of a leaf, in
order to keep up good government on
the frontier, and there are many people
wli: are out in the mountains and forests
both day and night who are very much
in ulinger ot meeting with a deplorably
nnecessary death at the hands ot hunts
men and other handlers of guns who
permit their imaginations to govern their
shooting and disregard precautions
which are imperative upon everybody
for the preservation of human life.
RAISE PRICE Of TOBACCO.
Shortage in Crop and Cornering of Visible
Supply are the Causes.
The present appears to be a favorable
time for the advocates ot the anti-to
bacoo habit to make converts, as the
pocketbooks ot the millions of users of
the weed are confronted with increased
demands because of a rise in the price.
A shortage in the tobacco crop and a
corner in the visible supply of tobacco
appear to have brought about the in
crjaee in nrice to the consumer.
The smokers and obewers apnear to
be in the same predicament as the retail
ers have raised prices as a matter of
self-protection.
“The price o' tobacco is on the rise,”
said a denier. “I do not know how high
it is going, but I know it is soaring right
along. Burleigh leaf is worth 15 cents
a pound more than it was three weeks
ago and all manufactured tobaccos, are
worth from 3 to 7 cents more than they
were a few weeks ago.
The rise results from two conditions—
the shortness of the crop, and the corner
ing of the market by the tobacco trust.
The trust has a corner on all leaf tobac
co in the United states that is available,
and has increased the price all along the
line. The retailers have got to follow
suit or gnit the business. The burden
will of course fall on the customers.
They will have to pay the price or fore
go the pleasnree of the fragrant weed.”
The rise in the price of tobacco menns
millions in profits for the trust and deal
ers fear even a greater increase than at
present. The tobaceo trade reports a
shortage in the crop, which also has its
affect in raising the price. The acerage
ot tobacco is said to tie less by 20 per
cent than last year. With the exception
of Florida, every state in the union
allows a decrease ot more than 30 per
cent, while Wisconsin and Ohio are some
what lees, but the decrease is more than
noticeable.
It is said that an effort is to be made
to form a combine ot all the retail deal
ers in the country, in hope ot bringing
the trust to time, but it is more than
likely that the retailers will simply raise
the price to the consumer and continue
to do business at the old stand.
Users of tobacco might have saved a
pretty sum by laying in a big supply of
the weed some time ago, as the price has
gone up materially. It is now too late
the boom in the price having struck the
country.* The opportunity for specula
tion appears to have passed.
It is certainly a cantion to seo the
advertising matter distributed among
the farmers by the catalogue houses.
They know tbsy must advertise to do
business, and they are doing both.
