This anti-cigarette bill did not
pass in the late session of the leg
islature. It was killed in the
Senate. There was no argument
whatever in favor of keeping the
poisonous things on sale, but that
honorable body was evidently a
little afraid that it could be inter
preted as a step toward the prohi
bition of something else and con
sequently they killed the measure.

With tlie railroad rates in the
foreground, the fear of a visitation
df the cholera in the background,
send excessive hotel rates in all the
intermediate space, the average
citizen does not derive much satis
faction from a contemplation of the
World’s fair picture, at the pres
ent time. But fares must come
down, the cholera can be shut out,
itlid the Chicago robbers will be
otibdued in due time. The fair is
too great on enterprise to be held
back by even these influences.—
Journal.
Thjb explanation that is made by
the hilarious twenty thousand maj
ority that so triumphantly elected
Carter Harrison mayor of Chicago
fhe other day, is that the fair has
cost the city a great deal of money,
rC&d it mnst have an unobstructed
dhance to get the money badk out
of the rural rooster that visits the
city to see the exhibition. Every
thing that takes in money must
fiherefore be allowed to run day and
eight and Sunday all summer long.
Harrison is the man to see that it
iS done.
A pabty of Nebraska statesmen
aYe now doing the sights of Colo
rado and Utah. It is headed by
the Hon. (accent) Thomas Majors
ahd the Dishonorable Walt Seely.
It is safe to say that no senator
who opposed the railraod bill in
the recent session is with the
jtmketeers. The chances are that
the men who are steering this
party levied on a Pullman car and
politely held the railroads up for
transportation. It must be com
forting to the railway men to know
that the time may not be far dis
tant when state legislators must
pay their railroad fare or stay at
tome.—Bee.
A new French company has been
organized for the avowed purpose
of rehabilitating and carrying to its
completion the Panama canal
scheme. It is proposed to raise
$40,000,000. Count Keratry of
Paris has arrived in New York and
will afford Americans an opportuni
ty to get in on the ground floor.
However feasible the completion of
the Panama canal may appear, it is
to be apprehended that the count
will find American capitalists rather
cold. The recollections of the
Mississippi Bubble” and the ex
posure of the Panama scandal star
. ifig them in the face are not calcu
lated to impress capital in any
country with special confidence in
the economy of French schemes.
It must seem more or less irk
some for a man wbo has been put
ting in a few months making laws
for ihe people and drawing a sal
at}' of $5 per diem and mileage,
to go back on the lonely farm,
change his Sunday clothes for a
blue denim blouse and overalls of
the same texture, and pile out
every morning before daylight to
feed and curry the horses, slop the
hogs, gather the eggs and milk
ton cows before breakfast, work in
the field all day with eyes and ears
blowd full of dust worth $35 per
acjre, and then walk a mile at night
to run in debt for two bushels of
seed potatoes. All this must cer
tainly seem, as we suggested, a I
trifle irksome.—State Journal. i
