) mx“"“ 4 \ ) THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ELEVEN ~ OUR REASONS. We have often been asked why we comenced the manufacture of Cigar- ottes. Because our attention had been called to the fact by numerous articles writton by medical and scien- tific men that opium and other drugs were being largely used in Cigarettes, and that the paper used for wrapping was made from the filthy scrapings of ragpickers, bleached with lime and other substances, which seriously af- fected the membranes ot the throat and nose, and were the prime cause of the throat and nasal troubles which followed cigaretto smoking, and they prophesied incalculable damage to health unless these troubles could be overcome, Feeling that the time was ripe for, and that the trade would appreciate, a porfectly pure cigarette, and know- ing the advantages we enjoyed of se- curing the very finest pickings of the crops (our factory being located in Duarhamn and the i)ukcs having been planters, handlers and manufacturers of tobacco all their lives, and one of them being on the market every day), we concluded to add this new depart- ment to our already extensive smok- ing tobacco trade, and make only a pure Cigarette, free of all drugs, wrapped with the finest imported French rice paper, upon the merit of which we would stake our reputation. Such an article is the DUKE OF DURHAM Cigarette, and we intend to keep it so. Rice paper is consid- ered less injurious than anything that can be used for wrapping Cigarettes ; but as it is very expensive all do not use it who claim to. The following is an exact copy of a letter, now in our posscssion, from one of the lnrgeut importers of rice paper in the United States, through whom we import the rice paper for the Duke of Durham Cigarettes: MAY BROTHERS, 106 SECOND AVENUE, Importers of French Cigarette Paper, and Sole Agents in the United States for the Celebrated French Gambier Clay Pipes.

WasHiNGTON, December 20.—A prominent republican and sagacious politician makes the startling predic- tion that Blaine will be the demo- cratic candidate for the presidency in 1884, He says President Arthur will 80 manage affairs and administer his office that no other republican will stand a ghost of a chance in that year, and Blaine, realizing this, will seek the fulfillment of lus life-long ambition in the ranks of the demo- cratic party. The gentleman referred to as muking this prediction has al- ways been friendly with Blaine and does not scem to think that in seek- ing ' the nomination at the hands of the democrats, the ex-secretary would be guilty of anything meriting con- demnation, or oven sharp, averse criticism.

THE INVESTIGATION, The members of the committee in- vestigating the treasury contingent fund expenditures are very reticont, but it is known nothing startling has been developed thus far. To- day's session was devoted ex- clusively to the examination of J. B, Adams, the stationer, who furnished considerable material on Pitney's order. He was examined as to evidence taken by the commission where his name was connected with transaction with Pitney's office. He did not deny furnishing the goods at the prico named, but said they were supplied on regular orders from the department, in a regular business way. He filled the orders as he would any others and never inquired whether the department needed them or not. He thought the ofticers ccmpetent to judge of that themselves. Pitney will be recalled to-morrow.

National Associated Press. Curcaco, December 20.—This even- ing the Irish residents of the Third congressional _district held a mass meeting, its object being to petition the representatives in congress to make efforts towards the liberation of Trish- American citizens now suffering imprisonment by authority of the English government. Gov. Thomas Martin was made chairman of the meeting. The following resolutions were adopted without dissent : ‘Whereas, BSeveral citizens of the United States are at present and have been for months past imprisoned without trial or investigation by the government of Great Britain in foul dungeons, where, according to re- liable statements relating to the pes- tilent and malaria breeding surround- ings, such imprisonment must of ne- cessity send these innocent men to premature graves, as is the case of M. P. Boynton; and Whereas, We consider the arbit- rary power exercised by the British government in the aforesaid arrestsand imprisonment a dircct violation of the right of all Americans and contrary to the letter and spirit of international laws and all precodent; therefor Resolved, That s of the Third Dlinois cong district, speaking now solely as Americans interested in maintaining the dignity of our country, do heroby declare our emphatic denial of the right by which the tish govern- ment exerciscs the aforesaid power, and we iudignantly protest against these arrests and the imprisonment of the aforesaid American citizens by the British government as an outrage upon human rights and liberty, deeming it furthermore an insult of national character to oursclves, and be it further Resolved, That our representative in congress, Hon, C. B. Farwell, be hereby petitioned to secure the pas- sage of a resolution firmly insisting on the immediate trial of our fellow cit- izens mow confined in British prisons on the charges or alle- gations, if any, with which they stand acused, and in the eyentof that trial or investigation being do- nied them, it is the sense of this mecting that the president of the United States be required to take such action as will compel England to open her prison doors, and let free the American citizens whom she holds in defiance of international law.

The governor, who has taken for a long time a great interest in the Arctic explorations, oausod an extraordinary exploring party to be sent out to hunt for tracks of “The Jeannette,” when %e learned that fears were entertained that mis- fortune had overtaken her, and that relief expeditions were being organ- ized in her interests by the diflerent governments, Knowing the delays incidental to such governmental ac- tion, he at once equipped and sent out on his own account, a pacty of the most experienced and reliable ox- plorers at his command, with the most ample powers nnd most positive instructions, These men at once en- tored into the undertaking with all their souls and stuck to their work, despite the most dangerous obstacles, untii they found traces of the lost ship and finally cvertook her. The people aboard The Jeannette” were much astonished when they were in- formed by the Siberian explorers that they had become the object of solici- tude of all the ecivilized nations of the world and that nearly all the Christian governments ~were preparing to make appropriations to fit out vessels looking to a general search for what it was generally feared would prove to be only themr re After ascertaining that “‘The ette” was absolutely safe, and th; on board were well and fully provided for, the Siberians hastengd back to report the good news, for which the governor had impressed upon them the whole scientific world was anxious- ly waiting. The governor of Siberia at once dispatched special couriers with the news to have it get to Lon- don with all possible speed ‘and it reached London but a few minutes ago. Wasnivaros, December ‘4, ~The secretary of state received to-day the following telegram from the charge d'uffairs of the United States at St. Petersburg, and it comprises all the information the government has on the subject: *‘The Jeanette was crushed in ico on June 11, latitude 77 north, long- 1ains. tude 17 ecast.

Subsequently No. 1, with Captain DeLong and twelve men, reached Le- na in a pitiable condition. Prompt assistance was sent. Number 2 is not heard from.” In response to the above the fol- lowing was sent: “Tender hearty thanks of the pros- ident to all authoritics or persons who have in any way been mstrumontal in assisting the unfortunate survivors from the Jeannetto, or furnishing in- formation to ‘his government,” Other advices are expected soon, but up to a late hour nothing more had been received.

Hastings Gazette Jouroal, The exccutive committee or the State Farmer’s Alliance have called a mecting at this city Jan 25th and 26th, This meeting coming at this season, when farmers are at leisure and being called at the center of the state should be largely attended, and we have no doubt but it will be, as the rapid growth of this organization, and the influence already wielded by it has awakened a deep interest in some ractions of the state and espec- ially in some counties in the South Platto country. Tts deliberations will no doubt turn to the matter of poli- tics, and tne political policy of the fu- ture will cluim considerable attention, This canmot but result in good if it stirs the farmer and laboring men up 80 that they will take an active rnrt in politics and see that only the best men are chosen to office. Heretofore fow have laid the plans for campaigns simply because there has been a gen- oral apathy on the part of votors who have not cared to take an acti terest in politics. This movement on the part of the Alliance will make the interest more general, and cause more ewrfulness on the part of existing parties as to the men that are nom- inated for oftice. The farmers and others in sympathy compose about fonr-fifths of the voting population of the west and there is no reason why they cannot control the nominatio s of the existing parties if they see fit AT T S organ- ization of a new party by this society will ultimate in the defeat of the very measures they are seeking to carry I into effect. Weo have expressed our viows on that question beforo and they have not changed since the rocent election but are rather strengthened The meetings of the Farmer's Alli- ance should bo very beneficial bocause discussion increascs information and a greater interest will be wken in meas- ures that are of vital importance to the farmers and everybody else in this New West. Only in the matter of the best method to reach the de- sired result has the GAZETTE-JOURNAL differed with the majority of the Farmer's Alliances in Adams county, There is, however, a respectable mi- nority of the Alliance that agree with us that the best and surcst way to succeed is to do o within the parties a8 at present organized, The election of State ofticers, the legislature and members of congress are of importance, and no false steps should be taken that may lead to the choice of men to these important oflices who do not represent the in- terests of this agricultural and stock raising state. We hopo that the ap- proaching meeting of the state Alli- ance in this city will determine upon a wise course to pursue in order to bring prosperity and plenty to the pivneers of this new and grand state. o Christmas Gloves at Bunce's, JEFF DAVIS, EMBEZZLER.

Nrw York, Docember 20, Béfore his capture byjthe Union soldiers, ac- cording to the published statements of Gen, Joseph E. Johnston, Jefferson Davis received o 2,000,000 be- longing to the confederate treasury, the main portion of which he in no way ever accounted for, A roporter to-daysought Col. Burton N. Harrison, who was with Mr. Davis at tho time of the capture, and asked him what truth there waa in the insinuation of Gon. Johnston, that the president of the confederacy converted the vast sum to his own use. “Mr. Davis never appropriated a penny belonging to the confederacy,” replied Harri- son, quite warmly. “I have the highest personal regard for Goneral Johnston, but if he made tho state- ment attributed to him he cortainly has been misinformed “T am inclined todoubt the accuracy of the interview. As T was with Mr. Davis when he was captured, T can say of my own knowledge that he had no specie, which General John- ston is made to eay the money con- sisted of, and in fact, no funds what- ever with him. ‘There were several wagons and an ambulance in the train during the re- treat south The ambulance belonged to Captain Moody, quartermaster, and contained his private property. The wagons were used to convey the bag- gage of Mrs. Davis and tho rest of the family, but General Johunstonsaid the specio train followed or preceded the head of the government of the con- federacy in the retreat. That cer- tainly is not so, and what is mcre, the funds of the coniederacy were not placed in the hands of Mr. Davis. They were handled entfirely by Geo. A. Trenhelm, the secretary of the treasury. There was some specie in Augusta or Washington, Ga., in charge of the treasury officers, a week before the capture of Mr. Davis, but exactly how much I do not know Tt is sure it did not amount t» $5600,000. Why, there was not $2,5600,000in the whole confederacy. The south was scooped clean, and I might say that not a dollar was loft in it, The United States government secured what there was, The government made exhaustive inquiries in this country and Europe, and if there had been $100,000 of confederate funds about the government would have found it out. The money question was discussed in 1861, and I consider the reports little botter than old wo- man’s stories,” Lo - THE ASSASSIN. National Associnted Press, THE TRIAL TO TAKE A TURN, WasHi December 20.—The Guiteau trisl will probably tako a more decided phl'unfllu;{icnl turn with- in the next few days. John W. Gui- teau is said to be a firm believer in the science of bumps and depressions, and is anxious to have a cast of the assassin’s head produced in court and its configuration descanted upon by prominent phrenologists. The dis- trict attorney is receiving lettors from students in phrenology and others professing knowledge about the shape PHRENOLOGI*'AL of the head as a determina- tive of human character. One man writes to Colonel Corkhill that his head had been frequently measured and was found to be chang- ing in form cvery year. The priso- ner'’s brother called upon Sculptor Mills to-day and requested to see the cast of Guitenu’s head, but the request was refused cn the ground that it was not ready for exhibition, The cast taken for a photographer, who thinks it will make an attractive feature in a reception room, It is understood that Clark Mills and son will be sub- ed by the dofense to bring the cast into court and be examined as to the points of difference with the heads of sound mind and large attain- ments, as lls and his son both profess faith in phrenology, strengthennd by the practice of their art. A reporter called to-day to goet their views on this phase of the case, Mills Sr. was not found, but his son talked freely on the subject, declar- ing that ho " held precisely the same opinions as his father about Guiteau’s head, although the latter could go more into details. “‘Speaking from a physical point of view,” said Mills, “Guiteau is undoubtedly better look- ing with his beard off, His beard and moustache gave him a wild, hag- gard appearance,”’ ~‘Does he seem to you more intelli- gent with a clean shaven face?! “Yen,” was the rupl{. “He has rather a fine chin and the expression of his mouth with firinly closed lips, which indicated great firmness,” “Have you made a special study of phrenology?” “No, but 1 have picked up a great deal by making casts of many difforont persons, 1 find the heads of people diffor just as much as faces, I have never found two heads alike. Gui teau’s head is full on one side and flat on the other.” ““What does that indicate?’ ““To my mind, itis an indication of diseased bram.” ‘‘Have you seen heads of like un- evenness during your prac‘ice 1 ‘‘Most of the heads in our collec- tion, while of course of different shapes, are about as full on one side as on the other. We have not been to get the heads of criminals to study that part of the subject. Guiteau’s head 18 23} inches in circumference. My father regards it as a curiously shapod head. Daniel Webster's head measured 26§ inches. Notwithstand- ing this difference, Guiteau's self-es teom and firmness are as large as shown in Webster's head.” “Doos the phrenological appearance of the nssassin's hoad indicate posses sion of much intellect!” “Tt shows in my opinion that ho possesses a great deal of low ounning His secretivenoss is immense, but his caution is smg His vitativeness or love of live is also large.” “What particular bump or series of bumps indicate insanity to your mind?" rat, self-esteem and firnness Theso tw) organs predominate, Hig solf-esteem i3 8o immenso that it makes him beliove that ho is really a greater or more important person than ho is. All the advice and talk in the world would not convinee him to the contrary, His firmness makes him keep to his opinion,” “‘But solf-esteem and firness do not nocessarily constitute insanity ! “‘Oh, no, but when a man has more than his share it malkes him conceited and such generally makes cnomies through life unless im has a large front head. Ttis no good Jroasoning with such aman, Thelargeroasoning powers of Daniel Webater for inatance, would countoract the effocts of large self- estoem and firmness, whereas the in- tollectual development of Guiteau 18 not sufficient to counterbalance them.” “Then his large self-esteem and firmness, takon in connection with his small intellectual developments, is in- dicative of Guitoau s insanity?” “I don't think, speaking exactly, that they indicate ity. The; rather indicate conceit. atill there is something odd about him, I don’t know what it is, and would not say whether ho is sane or insane,” *‘What aro the more prominent or- gans on the flat side of the head 1" “‘Vitativeness is full on both sides, conscientiousness is flat and small, and caution is small; the flatness is moro towards the top than the side of the head. The first thing noticed when we entered the cell to take the cast was tho wild, staring look in his eyes. His conversation, however, was as rational as that of anybody.” ‘Do you find in your practice that a phrenological diagnosis of men agrees with their character ¢’ ‘‘As a general thing I do.” *‘How about Guiteau's veneration “It 18 about the average, but it would have no effect on his character, owing, as I said, to the great pre- dominence of firmuess and self es- teem. . Mr. Mills said that there was no in- tention of making t in bronze of the head. Neither himself or father wished to figure in the trial, but of course they would have to go if sup- penaed.
