The cigarette is to be banished

Its wilL A bill forbidding' the sale
of cigarettes in the state was passed
by that body last week. As intro-
duced the bill only made it unlawful
for any person to sell cigarettes but
the committee on hj-giene and sani-
tation to which it was referred em-
phasized the rigid moral sense of the
house by amending it so as to include
under the ban cigarette tobacco and
cigarette paper. Then the house
passed the bill by 101 to 45. It is
interesting to note that this same
body has been using every effort to
encourage the cultivation of tobacco
in the state.
That a strict construction of the
immigration laws will be beneficial
to the United States is evident from
the wrath of the Canadian papers at
the extra precautions taken by our
officials to - prevent the dominion
from shipping paupers criminals and
other riffraff over the border. The
Canadian good thrifty soul has
been lining his pockets with the head
money exacted from the Chinese and
other undesirable immigrants. The
trade of immigrant smuggling has
become so profitable that our friends
across the line look upon its sup-
pression with disgust and indigna-
tion. They feel that a remunerative
industry is to be ruined and their
newspapers as a consequence are un-
usually venomous against this coun-
try. A young man who is not driven to
it by hard necessity may not be
blamed for not eking out his finan-
cial means by manual labor while in
college and it is not pleasant to
j:ome down to the plainest food at
school or anywhere else; but the
practice of spending money with a
free hand which has in recent times
become so general in almost all our
.colleges is simply to bo deplored.

day and all in rapid succession.
Lobengula himself couldn't have
beaten this record. The presump-
tion is that the only reason Miss
Nason stopped at twenty-five was be-
cause there were no more pupils in
her room. The riot all grew out of
the fact that the youngsters hadn't
properly committed to memory their
geography lesson. They wouldn't
study geography so she promoted
them by laying them across her lap
and making them see stars. She
made them study astronomy. And
all this too almost in the shadow of

BIOGRAPHY.
General Jeremiah McLain Rusk
though born in Ohio was generally
known and considered a "favorite
son" of Wisconsin where he was
familiarly known as "Uncle Jerry."
To the public in general he was best
known as Mr. Harrison's secretary of
agriculture. He wade a worthy rec-
ord in this cabinet position and his
bluff hearty way was popular with
the farmers.
"Uncle Jerry" was 63 years old a
good old age and va a native of
Morgan county Ohio. He was the
youngest of ten children born to
Daniel and Jane Fakner Busk. The
lad gained his meager early education
in the school near his home and grew
to manhood on his father's farm.
There was shown a strong love of
things agricultural and though he
afterward held positions of honor and
responsibility he practically never re-
linquished his occupation as a farmer.
The education which Mr. Husk
finally attained was gained chiefly by
studious application in his older years.
When he was 14 the father died leav-
ing to his care the mother and daugh-
ters; so he laid aside the plow and sej
cured a position as driver of a stage
coach running between Zanesville and
Columbus. lie was dextrous and
used to boast that he could drive his
coach one of the old Concord stages
so that any wheel -would strike a half
dollar. It was at this period c. is
career that he met James A. Garfield
who was then driving a mule along
an Ohio towpath and he often it is
said twitted the future president as
he sped past holding the reins over
four spirited horses.
In 18U Mr. Kusk married Mary
Martin of Ohio and two years .later
removed to Wisconsin which state
had since been his home.
When the war broke out Mr. Rusk
was in the legislature but refused re-
election that he might enter the serv-
ice. He joined the Twenty-fifth Wis-
consin regiment as major. He was
present at the siege of Vieksburg and
for his gallant conduct at Helena was
made a lieutenant colonel. In 1803 he
joined Sherman's forces and at the
battle of Decatur the colonel of the
regiment having been wounded and
captured by the Confederates the
command devolved upon Rusk. Dur-
ing the march to the sea he com-
manded a brigade. At Salkehatchie
he led the assault upon the enemy's
works which he carried in gallant
style against heavy odds. This serv-
ice was rewarded by his being made a
brevet brigadier general of volunteers.
He was mustered out in June 1805.
After the war Mr. Rusk assumed a
prominent place in the Republican
party of Wisconsin. In November of
the same year he wasjeleeted state
bank comptroller and held the office
until on his own recommendation it
was abolished by amendment to the
state constitution. In November 1870
he was sent to congress with the
largest majority ever given to a rep-
resentative from Wisconsin. Heserved
three terms with great credit. He
was a staunch friend of the old sol-
dier and voted against the salary grab
bill. At the next state election he
was chosen governor of Wisconsin by
about Ti.OiHi this majority being in-
creased to Hi.O.w votes when he was
re-elected to the same office in 184.
So uniformly popular was he as gov-
ernor that he was three times honored
by re-election serving continuously
from January 1SM2. to January 1689.
During his second term occurred the
Milwaukee riots but serious results
were averted by his prompt action.
He called ont and assumed personal
command of the militia and dispersed
the rioters. Had the governor of Ill-
inois followed the same course the
Haymarket riot in Chicago might not
have occurred.
At the Republican national conven-
c ice tae csbiaefc portion of sec ttary
of agriculture which bad just been
created was offered to and accepted
by him.. Hi long practical experience
as a farmer admirably fitted him for
the place which he filled with the
same success that attended his hold-
ing of other and lesser offices. It was
he who introduced the inspection of
pork and it was his active and aggres-
sive spirit that did so much in the in-
terest of American corn in Europe.
Mr. Harrison Deeply Grieved.
Indianapolis Ind. Nov. 22. Ex-
President Harrison received the news
of General Rusk's death this morning
and was deeply affected. He ex-
pressed the deepest sorrow and at
once sent Mrs. Rusk a telegram of con-
dolence. He stated that he would
probablv. with Ex-Attorney General
Miller attend the funeral of the ex-
secretary. It is also possible that sev-
eral ex-cabinet members will attend
the funeral.
Washinstos Nov. 21. The news of
the death of Ex-Secretary Rusk was
received by Secretary Morton just as
he was leaving his office to attend a
cabinet meeting. He at once ordered
the flag over the Agriculture building
to be placed at hall jaast out of re-
spect to the dead secretary.

That a Great Wrong- Has

Washington Nov. 22 Secretary
Gresham yesterday made public all
the correspondence between the secre
tary of state and James H. Blount
commissioner and later minister tc
the Hawaiian islands. Mr. Gresham
in giving this voluminous printed mat
ter to the press explained that it in
cluded everything connected with Mr.
Blount's mission to Hawaii with the
exception of some statistical tables
relating to the islands. The matter
cons sts of three parts the first 'be-
ginning with a copy of the instruc-
tions given Mr. Blount on March 11
1893 prior to his departure from
Washington for Honolulu and the
last part ending with a brief letter
under date of July 31 1893 in which
he takes his conge as follows:
"The condition of parties .n the
islands is one of quiescence. The ac-
tion of the United States is awaited
by all as a matter of necessity. This
condition it can be assumed will re
main until the proposition to annex is
accepted or rejected. ln the latter
contingency no sudden movement is
likely to occur. The present govern
ment can on y rest on a basis of mili-
tary force possessed of most of the
arms in the islands with a small
population to draw from to strengthen
it. Ultimately it will fall without
fail. It may preserve its existence
for a year or two but no longer"
Then he adds that he has done his
duty as well as he could "considering
I was surrounded by persons inter-
ested in misleading' and his private
affairs necessitated his return home
Secretary Gresham's letter of in-
structions to Mr. Blount dated March
11 define clearly how far in the opin-
ion of the president the use of armed
force is j er.nissible by the United
States to pull down or set up govern-
ments. Mr. Gresham says:
"In the judgment of the president
your authority as well as that of the
commander of the naval forces in Ha-
waiian waters should be and is lim-
ited in the use of physical force to
such measures as are necessary to pro-
tect the persons and property of our
citizens; and wlyle abstaining froip
any manner of interference with the
domestic concerns of the islands you
should indicate your willingness to in-
tervene with your friendly offices in
the interest of a peaceable settlement
of troubles within the limit of sound
discretion.
"Should it be necessary to land an
armed force upon Hawaiian territory
on occasions of popular disturbance
when ihe authority may be unable to
give adequate protection to the life
and property to the citizens of the
United States the assent of such au-
thority should at first be obtained if
it can be done without piejudice
the interests involved.
"While the United States claim
riuht to interfere in the present
to
no
or
domestic affairs or in the internation-
al conflicts of the Hawaiian islands
otherwise than is herein stated or for
the purpose of mainta ning an .' treaty
or other sites which they possess this
government will adhere to its con-
sistent and established policy in rela-
tion to them and it will not acquiesce
in diolomatic interference br other
powers"

steamship Australia from Honolulu
arrived inside the Golden Gate at 8:40
o'clock a. m. Saturdav with news from
Honolulu that up to last Saturday
there had been no change in the
Hawaiian political situation. The
new United States minister Willis

Officers of the Australia say that
Secretary Gresham's letter had not
been received or heard of and so far

ABANDONED THE SEARCH.
General Carlln's Son and Five Other
Persons Lost lu Montana Mountains.
Missri.A. Mont Nov. 22. The
search for the sn of General Carlin
two New York friends and three camp
attendants has been abandoned by the
military authorities at this point the
expedition having been given up as
boneless.
Every possible effort to rescue the
party has been made even to the ex-
tent of endangering the lives of the
soldiers and the loss of animals
wagons and other equipments. The
snow is too deep and impenetrable in
many places and where no snow ex
ists the streams are too much swollen
to admit of progress. In fact it is
now feared that the rescuing party
will be unable to return to Missoula
as the Lolo river wnicn must be
crossed about thirty-three times is
impassable.
General Carlin from Vancouver ex
presses the belief that his son aud
companions are lost and will perish in .
the mountains though he has offered
a large personal reward to any one
who will venture on another attempt.
There is still a possibility that the
besieged party may have found safe
shelter with an old trapper named
Jerry though this fact will not be
ascertained until next spring.
