The limit has not been reached yet, as there are no vacant houses in town the rent of which is within the reach of laboring men. The future growth of the town will largely depend on the public spirit and energy of our citizens. A diversity of our industries is one of the main things to boom the town. Every ima- ginable product of iron or steel can be manufactured here, from a steel rail to cambric needle, and manufactured cheaper than in any other town in the state. Instead of shipping each week to Eastern markets a thousand tons of pig {ron there is no reason why that thous and tons should not go out of town in the shape of articles of commerce and utility, Our focilities are known only to our selves but that is our own fault.

Put itoff until this winter and lock horns, and throw it open to all. —~That cigarette smoking by little boys is on the increase is a fact beyond doubt. Children of five or six years are frequently seen with cigarettes in their mouths, and errand boys are frequently perusing a dime novel, and, at the same time, indulging in a cigarette, When or how this will end is one of the ques. , | tions that social reformers should at once consider. It is almost as vital as the temperance question. Indeed, as ) y | more so, for there are a hundred lads who smoke cigarettes where there Is one v ho drinks beer or rum. if beer could be had for a cent a glass, there would be more youthful drinkers, ? | cigarettes are likely to fall rather than advance in price, the smoking of them by boys will coulinue to inerease. ~flepublican organs eant get it through thelr nogg ins that Gov, Curtin will heartily support the Democratic ticket from Cleveland down.

Mr. West in the future will con- fine himself to the business of his posi. tion. His presumptions as to what the president means to do are entirely grat. uitous and his opinions being those of a man entirely unfamiliar with American politics will make him the wmughing stock of the country. The facility with which the fellow dropped into the politi. eal trap set for him by the Republicans makes one believe that he is too green to be out alone. A cow would take him for a head of cabbage.
