WILMINGTON, N. C TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1897. A finoWINQ SENTIMENT AS TO CIGAUETTE MANUFACTURE. The Messenger Is the fixed friend of education. Others anay swerve or ig nore, ibut"The Messenger stands Cor the education of the. people. It holds 'that th'e safety of our free institutions eTeatly depends upon 'real and generous education. "While a 'little learning is a danrerous thing", because it inflates a -uvmini-iirnr and mikes ti'fm assume airs and attitude of one of the otnnis cient tribe, a genuine education and miiwh knowledge eive power, influence and service worth much to a, state. Really well infonried men are not apt to be pontifical in bearing and swollen after the frog-style. ' They know their iimitatiftTis. land they are not "believ ers in infallibility. The Messenger iis not only the friend of educatian,;Vbut Is always on. the side of morality. It would help 'the farm ers, it would help society, it would specially aid. and Inspire the youth of our state anxious for educational ac quisition, striving after success, Seek ing to emulate the best examples be fore them, filled with high aspirationis based upon, good TSfbdels and sound In struction. It would protect, them Jn their morals and their health. Hence, it has warred mercilessly upon the dis gusting foot ball rowdyism. It Is now fighting the cigarette trust and Its baleful effects. It has greatly injured the farmers, as we have , m!entoned. The testimony of the tobacco irare house men is that, It out down the prices of the farmers not less than 25 per Cent, upon the class of tobacco used by the cigarette trust. The Mes senger more than once gave the state- ments of physicians and others as to the deleterious effects of cigarette smokingbow it greatly injured and often killed its ' vkrtlmls. .In Wilmington almost every other )oy you -meet between 14 and 18 smokes cigarettes scores of them puffing away. They do not know what they are doing -what injuries to themselves 1 " they are invoking. ' In the last legislature Judge Sutton, " a m'eimber from Ounaberland, introduc ed a bill that ought to have passed. It sought to prohibit the sale and manu facture of cigarettes In this state. It i fared as so many other good arid need- j ed bills have fared. It was so 'emasou- j lated by amendments so shorn of its ' - power for good, that it was abandoned, i What did it? The bold, powerful "lob- J by" was on hand. It ' was active and had the money bag. . BiJt if. defeated dn 1897, it Is to be hoped -the -fight will not 'be abandoned. Reforms "come slowly, generally. It takes time to educate the conscience, to fill the imlnd with facts, to remove ' men's preiucTieeg and to arouse to lurking dangers! The evil is growing, is unimistajkable and must be soon or late extirpated root "and branchy. It will give Che churches a pang of pain perhaps, and make . educational institu tions groan, but it is a Sin lagamst God ' and humanity and vtrue .philanthro- .pists, God-honoring men.faithful citi zens must urtit'6 and, smite hip and thigh the Cigarette Monster . . . Wihat say the northern medical writ ers of distinction? They have often pointed out the evils and dangers of cigarette smoking. Are our North Carolina doctors silent? By no means. Some of the' most Intelligent and the amplest equipped have spoken. We are able to 'give some opinions, and the physicians who speak are worthy of attention,, for they' speak from knowledge and observation. Hear What they say : Dr. Lyle, a very intelligent (physician from iMaoon in the last legislature, says r'thiat within ihis knowledge and obser vation there were fully twenty deaths each year directly traceable to this vicious and deadly habit. Dr. Murphy, of the Western hospital for the insane at Morganton, says that boys had been sent to" that institutlonfor treat ment. Dr. Hall, a . Baptist minister, who .formerly resided at Raleigh, said a few months .. ago: to a gentleman, "that he knew of boys In Raleigh who had been made blind and insane from this habit, and others who had died from its effects." . . A well infortned gentleman writes us that he made something of a canvass last winter in Raleigh. The result was this as" he gives It:. - "Every medical man, of whom Igot . information, resident physicians of Raleigh, and members oif the legisla ture of which there were 4uite a rtumber, all concurred In the . state ment, that the cigarette was a deadly poison, from nicotine,- and that the habit was fearfully on the increase. Last, but by no means least, I had a long letter from Dr. R. H. Lewis, sec retary of the state board of health, in whieh he igave facts and figures, and rriuch valuable and Interesting data, all showing the deadly nature of this poi son from cigarette smoking." This comes from a highly respectable source,' was written for our eye, and not -for publication.; It "is too instruc ' trve and awakening to be kept to our selves. It must arouse something of pu'blic interest There are no doubt well qualified iphysicians'iall about the , state who coiutfd give evidence of their own, and sfcata? cases of injury done by the cigarette habit. We would like to ;.' . see the medical profession giving voice in this matter. They should be bold for the race and for the right. " IA gentleman of distinction who has considered this question with 'unusual interest,, gives, this unsolicited testimo ny to us. Writing of what was recently said in The 'Messenger, he says that in bis opinion cigarette smoking is a most dangerous and' growing evii, which, in his opinion based on facts he has gathered "Is more deadly than whiskey or opium or both," IHe is" of 'the opinion that the authorities the trustees; in cbarge of the high ed ucational institutions In North Caroli na, "should without delay look Into this matter and banish, it from their insUtutions." . So convinced is he of the very bad effects' of the eYll cited, that he would not send his boys to a denominational of other college , that "was located right in the centre of the manufacture of cigarettes." Referringf to . recent 'statement he says: "Yet, a you eay in yonr paper, Mr; Diflce, the president of the American Tobacco Company, does not smoke cigarettes, and thereby (we may conclude) discounts his own product!!!" , r We roust make janotheir clipping from a reoant letter from mm: ' roe peopre are anovlng In tb3(s matter everal dtiatea (very lately Tennessee) have banished . the " cigarette, prohlbf ting their sale or mtanuf acture, and the time la not far distant (I believe) when North Carolina will also act." This (gentleman belongs to a. Chris tian church, and Is a friend of human ity as 'we ill Ought to be who pretend to tove God and erve him. " He says; "I Write simply las to the moral side of What I 'believe to "be one of the greatest and most growing evBs of this age, The (press ought to take hold of it, and point out this great evil to the people." - (By the way, Is it generally known that an act was passed by the legisla ture 'some time ago perhaps It was 1889, or It may Tiave been 1891, that pro hibited the sale or the giving away of cigarettes to minors under sixteen years of age? W wonder ff this law Is vigorously enforced or if R is mere ly a dead letter on the statute books? If we are not mistaken this act was introduced and engineered through, the legislature by the FayettevtHe lawyer, Judge Sutton, who succeeds our worthy townsman. Judge Oliver P. Meares.

Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, whose death was announced In Sunday's Messengr made a distinguished repu tation as an orator-prior to the war in the John Brown affair, we think it was. He was much read and lauded at the time. We-remember being in 1868 at Oxford, Miss., and his name was in the mouth of all by reason of his ap pearance there In a" case in the court. We did not see or hear him. He bore a good reputation In the senate, in which he so long served, for oratory and ability. He was not particularly distinguished for unyielding tenacity of democratic principles always, and in 1893, was conspicuous n his advocacy of Cleveland's movement against his party. He had passed his seventieth year. He was of Ohio birth. Peace to his souL . The latest news from India is that the famine and pestilence are gradually ' diminishing in force and distructive ness. The death rate is less. At Bom bay In December last the rate' was 1,400 deaths a -week. It was at last report we have seen but little more than 500. The government destroyed a great deal of-property at Bombay to stamp out the plague the bubonic fever. A re-, port says of the work at Bombay that 130 dwelling houses were condemned 109 ordered rebuilt, tiles removed from 1,027, floors dug up in 492, 647 white washed with lime, 299 vacated, and 3 destroyed by fire.- The infected quarter as this report shows, has been entirely renovated ind put into a complete san itary condition "with characteristic British thoroughness. Millions of peo ple are fed by the British government, and it- must do so until September. In the northwest provinces 1,000,000 wells have been sunk for irrigation pur poses; for drouth means famine there. Millions of men have been employed in improving the sanitary condition of villages and the supply of drinking water. Bishop Hendrix, a scholarly and able divine and author of the Southern Methodist E. church, writes a two col umn article on the late Dr. Charles F. Deems In -The Nashville Christian Ad vocate, and pays him a very high and richly deserved tribute of affection' and appreciation. In the last paragraph he says, and we are gratified to read it and to copy it concerning a Christian minister and personal friend who for nearly a quarter of a century was so closely Identified with North Carolina as professor or president of its col leges, as a Christian worker of intense energy and usefulness, who gave the very prime of his physical and intel lectual faculties to its service. . Bishop Hendjrx writes from Kansas City Mo., his home: "In paying this tribute to my early friend, one whose work belongs now to the Christian world, I rejoice that, his Memoir has been given to us by such loving and competent hands, and can heartily commend, it to thoughtful min isters and laymen. What an editor Dr. I Deems would -have made for our cen tral organ or ior our . .Keview": how well he might have filled the chancel lorship of our Vanderbilt university or the presidency of any of our leading colleges. He did. the work which was nearest him in . the fear of God. and thus served his own generation and many others by the will of God. He rests from his labors, and his works do follow him." SNAPS. Rev. Professor, Marcus Dods, D. D., recently spoke of Rev. A. B. Bruce, D. D., of Glasgow, as the ablest theolo gian of the day. Exchange. Dr. Dodds, is a New Englahder. He and Dr. Bruce are Presbyterians. After all reports In northern points to the contrary in the Northern Meth odist church the women delegate move ment gains strength.

The New Bern Journal falls Into the mistake of supposing that people pay in surance premiums in order to get money out of 'the companies, -ims is noi uue, except in the case of fraudulent insur ance. What an- honest man buys with his insurance premium is "protection. If it be life insurance he carries, he considers his life worth more to his family than tne insurance; but he insures against the evil day when he may be taken away, wnen those dependent upon mm may oe leu in want, except ior tne provision ne nas made for their sUDDort. If it be fire insur ance. he considers his property worm more than the face value of his policy, and he would rather pay premiums year after year than to have a fire and collect his insurance money. iteasonaDie pro tection is all he asks in either case. We heard a exeat deal, durinsr the cam Daien. about - "confidence." Confidence, we were told, was what needed to restore prosperity confidence in Mr. Cleveland, confidence in Mr. Carlisle, confidence in Mr. Stetson and Mr. J. Pierpcait Morgan, confidence in everybody but Bryan and the anarchists! How the sub sidized press and the Cleveland machine howled at us for our want of "confidence' in the Immaculates, and our want of veneration for our more or less divine "rulers." Well, the Immaculates or, as CaDtain Tom Arlington picturesquely de scribes them, the goggle-eyes and snipes carried the day, and they nave got us, sure enough. "Us," mind you; it is us the untrustful scoffers and anarchists, whom the captain's birds have "got And since we were got, on that fateful day in November , last, which recorded the triumph of the. Immaculates and the defeat of the anarchists, we nave witnessed- many strange and wandrous things. Fayettevilie Observer. Only a selfish, designing bad man could oblect to the organization of Farm ers' Alliances for the purpose set forth in their Dlans as originally promulgated. The very fact that nearly every article the farmer used was sold by a corporation or trust, and the Drice of nearly every thing that the farmer made for sale was controlled by corporations and trusts, made it necessary that the farmers should organize for self protection, not to say preservation. The organization in the be ginning was very guarded in its admission of members and made efforts to keep out those who would seek their own and not another's good. But as the in fluence of the Farmers Alliance began to be felt for good, certain of them began to feel their power, and then came demands declarations and ultimata. These were thrown out to the politicians and political parties of the country. Certain politicians and self-seeking designing men saw their opportunity to ride into power and on to fame by falling in with this movement of the farmers. Raleigh News and Observer. Our revered and reverend friend. Hal lelujah Ayer, has gotton real gay since coming into the enjoyment of his relief. In times past there was never a sugges tion of humor, in his writing; the miseries of the down trodden,- for whose emanci pation he had made' himself responsible, so weighed upon his heart that his mournfulness nevei abated, and he did nothing but sit on his haunches and howl. But in- the noble Caucasian of this week he has an editorial" which is real sporty. He frolics around The Observer like a kitten. He gambols in and 'out among the parts of speech with the grace of a cow and the friskness of a spring lamb. What occasions the exulberance of his spirits is, however, of no consequence. It is enough to know that Hallelujah has at last relaxed. We are delighted to note the change. Ab the ladies say, it is "so becoming." We have feared that he would never smile again. But relief has restored the color to his cheek and joy to his heart, and the play of his fancy is beautiful to- behold. There is hope now even for Ramsey that he will yet cease his lamentations and consent to smile. To the sometime pessimistic and despair ful, but now sportive and hopeful Ayer, we make our compliments and extend our congratulations. He has seen a new light and it has begotten in him a blithsome ness to which nothing but relief could have given birth. Charlotte Observer. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Official returns of trade continue to show the rapid growth of exports of American manufactures of nearly evr ery description. European trade Jomr nals and their echoes in this country have repeatedly asserted that the enor mous increase of 'these exports' was only an ahnormal phenomenon, d'ue to aecidental causes, and that a reaction would soon set in. But prediction is the most gratuitous of all errors; and in the present case, as in most others; there Is no sign of its fulfillment. Those persons abroad and at nome'who have so eagerly prophesied that the growth in the volume of manufactured ex ports would soon cease have overlook ed the continuous progress of this trade through a series of years. 'As the official returns pttblished in The Record on Monday last show, the ex ports of American imanufacsttures amounted in value to $151,023,118 in 1890: ,to $158,023,118 in 1893: to $183,595,743 in 1895, and to $228,489,893 in 1896. For the elgiht months ended on February 28, 1897, the exports of mamifaotures amounted In value to $174.180,920 in dicating a total of $260,000,000 of these exports for the present fiscal year, end ing June 30th next.
