TAXATION.

In such a county as ours, the
man who makes a satisfactory as

ton of qualities rarely found in one
person. He must value orange
groves and waste lands, hotel prop
erty, city lots, furniture, railroads,
merchandise, farms and agricultural
implements, with all the diverse
needs of costly civilization.
One man cannot do this; he must
have the judgment of Minos and

continue, for the taste for good
whisky can't be destroyed by cold
water paper platforms, nor can the
love of water be lessened by party
prOnunciamentOs.
1t must be evident, therefore, that
should the party declare against To-
cal option a very large number of
voters will Immediately withdraw
from the ranks. On the other hand,
should the advocacy of local option
be made test of party allegiance,
an equally large body of men who
are opposed to such plank will at
once secede and organize in deter

This democrat drinks; that dem
ocrat don't. This democrat believes
in freedom of taste and its enjoy
ment; that democrat believes in the
suppression of what he considers
harmful to himself and society. But
both believe, heart and soul, in the
principles of the democratic party.
Both wish a reform of national and
state abuses. Both are willing to
cast their ballots for q democratic

PROMINENT PEOPLE.

BROWN.-It is limited that Senator
Brown, of Georgia, desires a portfolio in
in the cabinet of the next democratic
president.
LOGAN.-General John A. Logan's
wife is still beautiful, graceful and witty.
She originates, plans and execute wisely
for the advancement of her husband. who
yields implicit obedience to her slightest
wish
GORDON.-The difficulties OF railroad
building without money have aged John
B. Gordon very rapidly; and one misses
from his bearing much of that command
ing air which distinguished him a few
years ago.
BURKE.-It is said that Major E. A.
Burke, of the New Orleans Times-D Demo-
crat, and General J. B. Eustis will present
themselves as candidates to succeed
United States Senator Jonas. whose term
expires in 1885.
ARNOLD.-At a recent dinner party
Matthew Arnold declined a proffered
cigar, with the remark that neither he
nor his father ever smoked. But" he
added, Il have a son who smokes for his
grandfather and his father"
CAssAGNAC.-Paul de Cassagnac. Bon
apartist, writes in lie Matin, urging that
the Bonapartists and Royalists should
unite with a view Of effecting the down
fall of the republic. Napoleonism and
Orleanism, he says, are only different
labels for the same sort of cordial.
MCDANIEL.-Eenry D. Mcdaniel, the
present governor of Georgia, is a con-
tirmed and painful sufferer. He was a
captain in the Confederate army, and his
men complained that while he could al
ways give the command to march
with ease, yet 'f-f-f-fall b-b-b-b-b-back''
killed nearly the whole command.
TOOMBs. -Famous old Bob Toombs has
recently joined the Methodist Church.
and the-bOys are now recalling his noted
remark upon Joe Browns gift of $50. 900
to Kentucky Baptist college: "Wen, "
said the general, my opinion is that
$50, 900 worth of stock in water COM
pany on this earth is very poor insurance
against hell-fire in the next"
RUsKN.-Mr. Ruskin is a curiosity.
He is sixty-ive years old and five feet
and five inches in height. His face is
covered to the eyes with iron gray beard.
His forehead is low and retreating; his
eyes gray and sparkling; his dress is a
combination of the Anticipated and the
bizarre. To those who are unaware of
his identity he seems to be "a funny lit

THE PHILADELPHIA TINES, 1884,
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger ana more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its history-more widely read and
quoted. more heartily commended, and more
fiercey criticized, with a more complete or
ganZatiOn, and an able SSOif of contributors
and with the same independence and 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 viii meet every issue. as
it has ever done. with consistent devotion TO
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And. while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia. it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to newspaper.
The value Of newspaper is not in its size or
display, but III the intelligence and care the
cOnCisencSs and freshness with which it is
edited THE TINES spends lavishly 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 in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed TO enrich its columns,
and to make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man ana TO the leisure OF the nome cir
Gle. a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
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 III the thriving centres
Of rural population. have made the Old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unSatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our fOrward-mOVing 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 1t
was not the fault of the papers: it was the i'm
prOvement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women. wherever they

LOCAL OPTION AND THE DEMO

We hope that no considerable
number of the democrats of this
state wish to make the local option
law an issue in the next campaign.
1t has never been the policy of the
democratic party of Florida to fur
nish or deprive the people of liquor.
The existing local option law did
not originate, nor was it adopted
nor has it been enforced as a party
measure. Upon the propriety of its
passage, the wisdom of its provis-

IS IT so :?


The London Graphic reports that
M. Washington, presiding at the
annual dinner in aid of the French
hospital in London, said, referring
to the Anglo-French alliance, that
any difference between the two
countries might almost be called
lovers quarrels.
Did the wooing of bluff King
Hal to Katharine, in the prophetic
eye of genius, typify the present
relations of the two countries?
Fair Katharine and most fair,
VIII you vouchsafe to teach a soldier tears
Such as will enter at a lady's ear,
And plead his love-suit at her gentle heart"
From the wild struggles and more
ferocious loves, marked by all the
bitterness of abiding hate, is evolved
these soft words, showing the trust
built up between the two countries
by the necessities of modern times;
from the blunt wOoing of the sol
der King, and the shy, sweet resis-
lance of the gentle maiden, comes
the business-like friendship of two
gray haired ministers
Between the hardy virtues of
England and the graceful, generous
pride of her spirited rival, our sym
pathies have been often balanced
and confused in the glowing pages
of Froissart, only to be disturbed
anew by the sober pages of later
history.
What Harry's love and Hates
beauty could not do, has been ac-
complished by the hard necessity of
mutual protection from the martial
soldier-machines of Germany, the
trained millions of the Gar, and the
ieveling powers of dynamite. 1t
is an incident OF good omen to the
world when its two foremost ma
tions can truthfully so swear such a
union. but how far less picturesque
than the old nuptuals?
Once the naughty maiden could
not be won but by sacrifice hardly
paid to the bloody god of war; the
warrior leaped to the arms of his
lady-love with torn plumes and bat
tered shield stoutly kept at deadly
peril. How different was England's
language when she spoke by the
mouth of the Fifth Henry?
<'You have witchcraft in your lips,
Kate; there is more eloquence in a
sugar touch of them than in all the
tongues of the French council, and
they should sooner persuade Harry
of England than a general petition
of monarch" However this NAV
he, we are glad to see the princely
pair bound by holy ties, even though

Uncle Sam has no necessity for
such union; the proud old bachelor
attends their merry-makings, but

belittled nations of the old world.

IHF SUN :
NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of THE sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE SUN printed aud sold last year
you would get a continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount COpernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
tiers of the way back to the moon again.
But THE sun is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
If every buyer of copy of THE sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and If his wife or his grandfather has spent
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
IC is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence Ontthe opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE sun is, and will continue to be- q news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences, which gets at the facts mat
ter how much the process costs. which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
Is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be
leves that the Republican party must GO and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know The sun, you like it already,
and you will read il with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
