L i < > THE OMAHA DAILY "C BEE.fT ELEVENTH YEAE. OMAHA , TUESDA ? MORNING , DECEMBER 27 , 1881. NO. 1GO "YOU CANT DO IT. " When wo came to Omaha to introduce - duce the DUKE OF DUUIIAM Ci garette , some people said , "You can't do it , " as so many others have tried It and failed , and the trade are dis- RUated , etc. Wo never had any doubt that the DUKE OF DUKHAM Cigarette - otto would moot with popular favor and sell rapidly , knowing it to bo made of the BEST T Sth Carolina Tobacco , wrapped with the UEtJT rico paper , and AUSOLUTKLY free of DRUGS. You see , wo give consumers credit for knowing a good thing when they have tried it , and then wo thought Inw comfortable the feeling ( when enjoying a leisure Hmoke ) TO KNOW that you are not absorbing injurious drugu. Wo are mutually interested in this matter of pure Cicarottoa. If the DUKE OF DURHAM are the PUR EST and 1JEST , of course , you will continue to use them ; if not , you wont. So wo concluded to call yor attention to them through the news papers and toll you frank I j all about thetn , and induce you to try them and then let them speak for themselves. Wo know those are pleased who have tried thorn , as they continue to buy thorn , and wo are getting most tlattor- ing'reports from dealers as well as con sumers. Wo promised moro reports .from dealers yesterday , but vo mot ' 'ijfith , one who cooled oilr ardor tem porarily. Ouesa it will bo no harm to toll what ho said , but wo withhold bis 1 name , street and number. , 'Haven't got them ; don't want them , and shall not keep them. Can buy and Cigarettes for 60c per 1,000 less nnd Cigarettes < for ? 1 per 1,000 loss than the DUKE , "and I cah retail them at same price of the Duko. " Well , wo have somowhaH recovered , and since we have thought the mutter ever dpn't feel much worried , &a ho doesn't sellinanyond | his limited sales will not affect ua much. Wo appre hend that it's because ho does not kooptho bostbut instead tries to palm off nn inferior article at same price , that his trade is BO small. With thia exception , wo find most of the trade dispoaod to handle tlio DUKE OF DURHAM Cignrottos and Tobacco because they ARE the 1IKST and PUREST on the market. Consumer , if you have not tried thorn yet , you should drop in the first store and'buy a package. blatter of Application of Felix Slav en for Liquor Lli ease. NOTICE.

National AssociateJFmta. PACTS AnODT MKMJIKR.S. WAHIIIXOTOK , December 2(5. ( The Congressional Directory , edited by Benjamin J'erley Pooro , correctud to December 31 , and containing a list of the house committees , made its ap pearance to-day. Some curious facta in relation to members of the house appear in it. Of the 70 senators , five uro of foreign birth , v'w. Jones ( Fla. ) , HewellN. J.and ) F.iir ( Nov ) , born in Ireland ; Jones ( Nov. ) , born in England , and Beck ( Ky. ) , in Ger many. Of course , cither of tlioso Kcntlomon being peers , are eligible to the oflico of president pro torn of the senate , but in the event of the death of thoviceprcsidcnt , there isaquostion whothorthey could discharge thodtitica of president , the constitution requir ing the president shall bo a native born citizen. The youngest senators are Mr. Gorman , -12 ; Miller , 4IJ ; Plumb. 34 , and Hall , 35. The eldest are Merrill , 71 ; Lfipham , 07 ; An thony and D. Davis , GO ; Dawet and Sawyer , 65 ; Sajiubury , 84 ; Conuor and Hampton , tiJ ! , Some of the older senators withhold their ago from the directory. Edwards , who looks like and is recognised as the sago of the fionato will ho fit on the 1st of February ruary next. Maine , Delaware and South Carolina are thu only states that have full native delegations in congresr , and Arkansas , Toxos , Wis consin , Minnesota , Kansas , Nebaaaka , Oregon , Colorado and Nevada have neither a representative born in the state. Of the representatives , the birth place of 22 is not given and 15 are of foreign birth. The contrast between nativity and legislative rep resentation ia somewhat singular. Now England , with a representation of 28 , has 47 of her nons in the house ; Now York has 33 representatives and 30 members born in that state ; Penn dylyaniu , 27 and 33 ; Ohio , 20 and 27 ; while Illinois , having 10 representa tives , has but 2 sons in the house ; Michigan and Iowa have but ono each out of 9 representatives. Of 200 Americans born whoso place of birth is given , 1G3 are of northern birth , ono from the Pacific coast , and but 42 born in the south , CAPITAL NOTES. Natlonil Associated 1'rem.

WASHINGTON , December 20 Senor Martinez : , Chilean minister here , has issued n 78-pago pamphlet on the dif ficulty botivoun Chili on the ono hand ind Peru nnd Dolivin on the other. The work , ho says , is not to bo con- mileml into an oUicinl doctiniont , but is issued to correct many errors and t give light to congress , to which body he fears Porn nnd Bolivia pro- puso to appeal , having failed to in- ilucnco the state department , which iippcal , ho remarks , would bo fresh humiliation. Those countries , though small , ho says , nro entirely independ ent , and neither the Monroe doctrine or any other recognized authority would justify interference in the present - ent state of nlTairs. Participation may bo had in mi eminently peaceful nnd friendly way. Chili has given und will give to the world all explanation , memoranda and docu ments demanded by iutcrnotional courts. The assertion , ho says , that Chili caused the war is absolutely false , nnd is now believed by nobody. The charges of Chilean atrocities dur ing the war nro greatly exaggerated and founded on ordinary war experiences. They Room , he says , to bo based OH Voltaire's maxim , "Lie. Lie. Some thing at least will bo believed. " Re garding the financial schemes which have been so much talked of in this country , ho says no speculative scheme of Chili has ever been brought forward in the financial or political market of the United States. There is no foundation whatever for the statement that the Chileans have at tempted or oven had the remotest intention of propos ing auy transactions whatever in England in connection with the saltpeter deposits und this for the simple reason that according to the Chilean system all saltpeter deposits are property which is as sacred aa dwelling houses , mines , nnd other pos sessions which go to make up private property. Lot this servo OR a refuta tion of the malicious or at least incon siderate assertion which wo have fre quently se.cn made by the papers to the effect tint a Chilean guano nnd saltpeter Rchpmo is being put on the Now York market. Those who credit such stories should understand that iho Chileans relied entirely upon their own strength during the progress of the war ; so thov will rely upon their own strength for the promotion of their industrial mid commercial enter prises , Mlnslflftippl River Improvement.

This year § 10,000,000 are desired , and nt least § . ' ( ,000,000 will bo expected and demanded for this purpOBo. The Mississippi river commission has just made its annual report to the secretary of war , and this report lias just been laid before the Hunate. This commission es timates the total cost of the improvements of the Missis sippi river nt 8:53,000.000. : Such expenditures as n rule oxcecd the esti mates made therefor by a largo mar- cm. It would bo fair to predict that 8100,000,000 will bo naked for within a few years for the purpoao of smooth ing and broadening the path of thia rivor.
