Tuesday evening the club voted 70 pro-
cure uniforms at once. The uniforms will
consist of white caps, red shirts and blue
pantaloons. A motion was made and car
ried to have Deacon Simpson read the
platform of the independent Republicans.

the roll There are only three that don't
come out strong for Cleveland, and those
three will not vote for Blaine. Not a

West Railroad has already graded its
road-bed from Palatka to Sanford, and 1t
is expected trains will be running rego-
larly in November from Sanford to Jack
sonville in time to transport the great
crop of oranges now fast ,welling toward
maturity The Importance of this line in
developing a fruitful country is hard to
overestimate, and when the great Indian
river region is it's terminus its business
will be enormous.
Pensacola Adcdnce- Gazette The
work of laying the concrete foundation
for the new custOm-hOuse and post office
in this city was completed yesterday,
and acting Superintendent of Construc-
ton Brewster informed the reporter that
the grounds would now be cleared up and
placed in condition preparatory to the
reception Of the. brick and stone to be
used in the building. Mr.. NJ. S. Belknap,
who has me contract 10 furnish the

king srrangm ats for their transporta-

ce:tained from Mr.. Brewster that the
company having the contract to furnish
the stone will commence work about the
first OF September, and in all probability
the required quantity will be on hand by
the first of January, 1885. From this
it is fair to infer that the new building
which is of exquisite design, will soon bt
lie looming up and looking skyward
We hope there will be no unnecessary de
lay. Cincinnati has been awaiting the
completion of her custom-house about fit

There seems TO be mania for cheap,
trashy newspapers-the more sensational
and purile the contents, the more accepta-
BILE they appear to be. Do people ever
stop to think OF the drift or tendency Of
such reading, and Its effects on the home
circle ,H t3CIt
The exploits of noted robbers, murder
ers and bank defaulters, the developments
Of frailty and depravity in human nature,
the natural cussedness demonstrated by
bad boy predilctions-all such matters
seem to absorb and fascinate large num-
Der OF newspaper readers. That this Is an
unhealthy condition Of things none will
doubt and 1t will require q vigorous effort
on part Of society to condemn in order to
suppress it; but we incline to think II 10.
cal newspapers would show more pro-
gressive and enterprislng disposition and
would furnish their readers with good,
newsy and interesting matter these extra.
neous excrescenoes would not be so well
come. When local newspapers can only

utes' local news, and then fill up their COL
umns with insipid clippings and patent
outside absurdites, it Is not wonderful
that the majority of people seek for novel;

The publishers of the COLUMBIAN have

interest attaches to political and social de-
velopments, and the COLUMBIAN means to
give to its subscribers the best dollar and

Bankruptcy.

A new bankruptcy bill passed the
Senate last week. 1t makes the Uni
ted States District Courts bankruptcy
courts, and allows OF appeal to the Cir
cult Courts, the Supreme Court of the
United States to review decisions only
when the Circuit Judges disagree. The
Circuit Courts will appoint Commits
sioners in Bankruptcy, and Supervi-
sor in each judicial district. Any per-
son owing debts exceeding $500, and
unable to pay, may apply to be adjudi-
Gated bankrupt. Any person owing
debts exceeding $1,000, who leaves his
State to avoid his creditors, or conceals
himself to avoid arrest, or service of
legal process, or makes fraudulent
transfer of his property, or suspends
payment of his commercial paper or
open accounts for thirty days after the
same are due and payable, or who
makes fraudulent preference, shall be
deemed to have committed an act of
bankruptcy, and may be adjudged
bankrupt on petition of three or more
of his creditors whose bills would
amount in all to $500.

The ego in mans nature is sometimes a
healthy factor in the development of per-
sonal character in that self-respect is often

comes arrogance and manifests - over
bearing or intollerant disposition, discord
and dissension are its legitimate results.
The President Is not the republic, preach
er is not the church he ministers to, the
chief officer Of a town council Is not the
body corporate, the chairman OF political
committee is not the entire party and yet
we frequently find persons filling these and
similar positions acting as though they
were the aggregate instead of being units
in such organizations. .t4 G
We know of ridiculous attempts of men
who, blinded by little temporary author
ity or official power, seek 70 manipulate
matters--social, religious, political or mu-
nicipal-to their own personal advantage.
Now, this is wrong, the public expect to
have leaders, but have no use for dictators,
and when such officials or dIgnitaries for
get that they are the servants OF the peo.
pie they are apt to come to grief MAN,
dressed In little brief authority, like an
angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks be-
tore high heaven as makes the angels
weep" Dogberyism is not dead by any
means, and the old saying that II you "set
a beggar on horseback he will ride to the
devil" is very true one. W
officious gentlemen who lack modes'y to

communities by their overbearing inso-
