the best sugars and the best merchandise Of
all sorts until they find ont that the only
compensation they are going to get is the
acquaintance of their patrons. There are
at least 5000 such thieves in Brooklyn, Of
course, sometimes men are flung of misfor
tunes and they cannot pay. know men
who are just as honest in having failed as
other men are in succeeding. There are a
multitude of people who buy that which
they never intend to pay for, for
which there is no reasonable expecta-
ton they will ever be able to pay. Now,
why not save the merchant as much as YOU
can? Why not go some day to his store,
and when nobody is looking just shoulder
the ham, or the spare-rib, and in modest
silence steal away? That would be less
criminal, because in the other way You take
not only the mans goods, but you take the
time of the merchant and the time of his
accountant, aud you take the time of the
messenger who brought you the goods.
Now, if you must steal, steal in way TO do
as little damage to the trader as possible.

TWO BEASTS.

Once upon time a great Python

waste to the destruction of the best
interests of all concerned except
himself. Hercules killed him; but
his spirit lived on and is material
lied in modern times as the republi-
can party. The democratic Her
cules gave the snake fearful wounds,
but it survived till a small reptile
disposed of the great Boa by swal-
lowing him. What will be the eff
feet of such an operation on the lit
tie beast remains to be seen. For
though one party submitted quietly
to its own destruction and disap-
peared with seeming willingness,
yet we know by certain unmistake-
able signs that things are not alto
gether lovely with either. The
smaller cannot digest comfortably
its mighty dinner, and the larger
objects to its contracted quarters,
for, strange to say, it is yet alive.
Nothing but fear of immediate
death prevents it from breaking in
continently from its quarters, and
the man who mounts guard with a
shotgun may have rumpus on his
hands before the campaign is over.
Promises and soap may be good fol-
desert, but inaction is always weari-
some and abuse is never pleasant.

i" POPE THE REFORMER. .

Dressed in the ragged 'pretense of
sincerity, Frank Pope is attitudeniz-
ing before the people of Florida as
seeking reform of the reformers
We have showed by figures taken
from the record that in eight years
the democrats have saved the peo-
pie of the state nearly million and
a half while reducing taxation from
twelve to four mills and spending
three hundred thousand dollars for
educational and charitable interests
more than the republicans did for
the same purposes in the same time.
We show to-day, also from the
record, that Putnam county is also
in such contrast to It's condition
eight years ago that parallel most
favorable to us can be drawn.
When we assumed the reins of
power county scrip was worth from
forty to sixty cents. 1t is now
worth one hundred, and there is
eight thousand dollars in the treas
ury. There are, of course, abuses
in both county and state, but these
are slight in comparison with shame
full scandals under Reed and Stearns,
and are all traceable more or less di-
rectly to the abominahle republican
constitution of 1868.

vocating reform. As for Pope him
self he voted both for and against

th e constitution, hus showing con-
cl,7sively that lie had no settled
pc Icy on the subject. AS all his
ella i'm to the name of reformer is
bas eel on his temporary advocacy Of
the "short cut, . it must be remem-
bered that this movement was clear
~ In eontravention of the constitu-
ton, and, therefore, would have
proved expensive to the state with
out a corresponding benefit. The
first session Of the Supreme Court
would have annulled the action of
the short cut convention, and the
whole movement would have only
resulted in a useless expenditure of
some fifty thousand dollars. If
Pope can draw any real title to the
| consideration of the reformers of
Florida from his advocacy of such a
measure, he is welcome to it.
Another string upon which he
harps when making music for
his dusky satellites is that he is in
favor of civil service reform and
disguised with the machine policy
of both parties. How is it with
himself ? We know positively that
to secure supporters he has already
promised every Office in Putnam
county, and no doubt this has been
done in other counties throughout
the state.
Now these are without the least
consideration for the eternal fitness
of things; in some instances at least
the hopeful recipients are destitute
of every qualification except that of
| doing campaign work for Pope.
| 1t is some consolation to the people
that these promises will be utterly
barren of results, but they are Civ
en- because they show the arrant
hypocrisy of our political dema-
gogue. His only chance of a des
cent following in opposition to
PERRY is based on the ignorance OF
his supporters. Here we acknowl-
edge he has grounds from which we
must drive him with hard facts and
good work. He at least should vote
for Blaine; a moments shifting OF
the disguise will show tattooing on
the flesh of each.

yarns on the alligator. We think
Rud must have interests elsewhere
than in Putnam; for he is certainly
trying to divert the stream Of i'm

war on the millions Of foul birds

road station at Chatham Square. As
he did so he gazed around for a minute
to get his bearings. A bright, spruce
young man of pleasing appearance
stepped up to him and said: "Why,
how are youP It's long time since
I've seen YOU" The Buffalonian,
who is a lawyer, sized the young man
up and acknowledged. with about a ton
of ice in his manner, that it was long
time. "You don't seem to recognize
me-" said the sharper. mo, | DON'T

Brothers, you know" "Oh, what is

O"H'm, yes, well why don't you at

thought he would, and he did.
