THE SITUATION.

The forces are now in position,
and q careful examination of the
field only shows more clearly the
gravity of the situation. Never be
fore were democrats more bound to
look after the interests intrusted to
their care as champions of the peo-
pie. In Florida the situation is
complicated by the formal advent
of an independent movement led by
brains, backed by money and sup
ported by respectable and power
full following who may decide to
embOdy their protest against repub-
lican misrule and the corruption of
"tatoOed" methods by a fruitlesS en-
dorsement of halfway measures in
stead of formal support of the OPP
position. Every indication shows
the inception of "tidal wave" on
the crest of which our party may
come into port if we are true to our
selves and to the people. Never
before could the consequences of
weakness be more widespread and
disastrous; never before would po-
litical cowardice so thoroughly
change the whole aspect of a cam
paign. Cleveland is emphatically
the man of the people and the time,
but he has antagonized the machine
everywhere and the wire-pullers are
solid against his nomination. Flor.
ida may now avail herself of an OPP
portunity seldom offered, and ouI

A subscriber writes us from East
Monmouth, Maine, that he finds it
hard to convince his neighbors of
the possibility of existence in Flori-
da during the summer. Our friend
from Kennebec county is assured
that we keep a careful record of the
temperature for the benefit of such
doubling ThOmaSes, and the reports
in THE-NEws are taken from a good
thermometer by scientific observer
for our special benefit. He quotes
frost in the lowlands in his county
on the 18th while on the 18th the
record showed ninety-six degrees in
the shade. We can show no such
excessive changes as this, and our
hottest days are tempered by cool
breezes and succeeded by pleasant
nights. Mr.. Small is another old
soldier who will settle with us next
winter and help to dissipate preju
dies against Florida.

A WATER SUPPLY

From the flowing wells now COM
mon in our city thousands of gallons
of pure water flow into the river
every day. Our citizens could make
economic use of this to the improve
mento of our sanitary condition as we'll
q" the convenience of every family.
Ore citizen has simply fitted a pipe
the White Elephant and he has
{, pply of water conducive to the
Ii alth and economy of his whole
adjustment. The same thing
might be easily done by many, and
water conveyed even to the second
storeys of our dwellings. The natu-
raj pressure of the wells will necessi-
tate no outlay for pumps, and the album
dant streams now flowing into the
river without use TO the public is a
reproach on our economy and SAM
t&ry care. For weeks the town
pump has overlooked and left a
little lake on Lemon street because
no one would give the matter ten
minutes attention. Are we not too
careless?

will strengthen the hands of our
friends everywhere.
OF one thing we may be certain,
the wishes of the people will find
forciful expression in some shape,
and if the democracy fails to make
utterance Of the popular voice, a
new party, national in its purposes,
broad in its conservatism and earnest
for good ends will snatch the laurel
offered by opportunity, and dwarf
al old issues into insignifcance.
Political methods are fast becoming
too dirty for clean men to handle,
and these realize too we'll the duties
imposed by American citizenship to
be cOntented in supine or frivolous
inaction. The democrats of Florida
must give us a new constitution
they must give us a concise platform

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever he

quoted, more heartily commended, ana more
Gercey criticized, with a more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able ssOn of contributor
and with the same independence AMI fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, AS
il has ever done. with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government. ANA the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in tho advance in all
that can add value to Il newspaper.
The value Of a newspaper Is not IN its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciscness and freshness with which IL Is
edited. THE TIMES spends layishly for news .
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, IN
order to give the complete news of the day p

citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day Of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere. especially in the thriving centres
Of rural population have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying Those
that cling to their ancient usHges have lost
their hold on our Mountaineering people; they
are but shadows Of their former greatness and
they have but a shadow Of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone; and, with il, they are going, too. II
not the fault of the papers: 1t was the i'm
prOVenent OF the country th8t brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; ana they re-
Quirc more than news.

Judge Albion Tourgeo's Opinion.
Mr. Blaine has nothing of substantial
strength in his own record with which to
rally the disaffected or apathetic even of
his own party. He was one of the few
young men of his party who, as the very
climax of his manhood, while enjoying
the most robust physical health, was able
to resist the infectious glow of patriotism
during the nations great ordeal. During
that time. when even the plough-handles
burned the clodhopper's hands so that he
was perforce compelled to drop them and
catch up the musket Mr.. Blaine reso-
lutely withstoOd the temptation to serve
his country in the field, resisted the ex-
ample of so many of his associates i'll the
hall of congress, and sedulously kept a
soft seat warm and filled his purse by the
opportunities which a period Of war al
ways offers TO men of thrift, GOODNESS and
81 gacity.

 MIR. EDITOR: In my article in last weeks Press on Postal Telegraph, should have stated that it did not mean paternal gov ernment-or centralization-or interfer- ance with private enterprise. It simply means an enlargement of the postal facil- ities of the people of the whole country !; and its anticipated incidental effects on private monopolies cannot be called up to defeat So just and desirable measure. All that is necessary is that the people should look into the matter and request their representatives in congress to give this important measure their support.
