The public library has been running
along sme0thly since il was opened
some three OF four weeks ago, and we
are glad TO know that there is a con-
stantly increasing interest being man
ifested In it by our citizens. Almost
any evening can be found q number of
visitors, old and young, passing an
hour or so pleasantly at this literary
resort Saturday evening we stopped
in for a few minutes and found the
room we'll filled with charming bevy
Of young ladies from the female school,
under the guidance OF one of their
teachers, and learned that they made
regulnr visits once a week to the libra
ny. This is a good idea, and should be
adopted by the male school also. Al
though the supply Of books, periodicals
and newspapers is not as complete at
present as il should be, il is ample 20
afford all with interesting and valuable
reading, and is being added 10 daily.
Every citizen in Morristown, who is
able, should contribute something 10
the success Of this most laudable enter
prise. If they can't do more, let them
give a book, q magazine, or a paper
from their own store OF literature. We
could point TO a number of prominent
citizens in town who are able and who
ought to contribute $50 or 800 each to
the enterprise, but who have given
comparatively nothing as yet. Let
them come TO the front and show their
appreciation of that which will reflect
credit upon the town and upon those
who interest themselves in its success.
We had almost forgotten to say that
Miss Jennie Harle, as librarian, fills
that position with grace and efficiency.
Any publication left with her for file
will be thankfully received and proper
ly cared for.

Judge Reed, Of Nashville, has decid-
ed that the assessment Of railroad prop
erty by the State Board of Assessors is
illegal and void. He reviews the laws
on the subject Of the State Of Illinois,
after which our law is fashioned and
carefully marks every modification OF
it by cur Legislature since the law was
enacted in this State. He holds that
the manner of assessing was not in ac-
cordance with the act Of the Legisla-
ture. and hence declares il wholly void
and illegal. This will either necessilate
a new assessment or make the taxes
collectable upon the basis of last years

..Gath's Preference"

From the Boston Pilot.
George Alfred Townsend. 'Gaith, >"
opens the defensive campaign for Blaine
with an extraordinary attack on the re
formers, which contains bad temper, bad
morals and bad history, in about equal
parts. He is violently opposed to the so
called "better element" and finds that
''there was a good deal of sense in the
mob, somewhere about the year 30 to 40,
who wanted Barabbas set free, and who,
some centuries later, Gt was five centu-
ries earlier, but that is a tri1ing matter,
voted against Aristides, no doubt a com
mon humbug of that day, who had in
suited the common people by his affec-
tation of superiority" If Gath" had
taken the trouble to look up the record
of Aristides, he would find that the just
man died SO poor that he did not leave
money enough for his funeral expenses.

Barabbas to Christ We have no doubt
they would all vote, if living to-day, il

salt.

AIdLlOIJGl pl tlit COtIStA hfAIAfS StAAAc
cratic Party of Florida.
The democratic party of the State of
Florida, in convention assembled, CON
graduates the friends of good govern
ment upon its assured prospect of sue
cess in the coming campaign, and makes
the following declaration Of principle:
Resolved, That we reaffirm the funda
mental doctrines of the national democ-
racy as laid down in the platform of the
national convention of 1876 at st. Louis,
and of 1880 at Chicago.
Resolved That we advocate a liberal
policy on the part of the general govern
ment in the matter of public improve
ments and hold that the south has a
right to demand this until her waterways
and harbors have been adjusted to the
needs OF commerce to the same extent as
in other sections of the country.
Resolved, That we favor the calling of
a constitutional convention for the re-
formation of our present undemocratic
constitution.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
state to educate its children, and that we
favor a liberal provision for the main
tenance and developement of our system
of free public schools.
Resolved, That the recent remarkable
growth of population is one of the most
noteworthy indications of the prosperity
| of the state and that we invite worthy
and Industrious citizens from all quarters
to come and settle among us, with the
confident assurance of a friendly welcome
and an equal opportunity.
Resolved, That since the overthrow OF
radical rule the state has had two demo
cratic governors; that to the Hon. George
f. Drew the state is indebted for the in
auguratiOn of that economic system OF
administration which has so powerfully
promoted the prosperity of the state, and
that in the continuance of that sounc
democratic policy the administration OI
Governor w. d. Bloxham has been the
most brilliant in the history of the com
mOnwealth.
Resolved, That in the withdrawal from
public life of that illustrious Statesman
land patriot, the Hon. Samuel }. Tilden
the democratic party has lost its mos
honored and trusted leader, but that il
the Hon. Grover Cleveland, governor o
New York, we recognize a worthy sue
cessor, whose nomination at Chicag
would insure a glorious victory in Nc
vember. and would guarantee to the pee
pie of the country a pure, honest an
economical administration of the nation

Widow Ofthe War of 1912.

Washington Dispatch to New York SUI.
The discussion of the Mexican pension
bill in the Senate brought out some queer
statistics about the pensioners of the war
of 1912. That war ended nearly seventy
years ago, and the number of troops en-
gagged in it was not remarkably great,
yet to-day there are actually twenty-One
thousand pensioners on the rolls as wild
ows of that war. They drew last year 81
8S2, 600, or five and half times as much
as the few thousand old soldiers surviv-
ing.
OF course, the explanation is that some
of these widows were married to the vet
eran warriors half a century or so after
| the war was over, and they became en-
titled to their pensions in due time when
/ their husbands died. Thus it is not i'm
probable that in the twentieth century 9
great many of the twenty-one thousand
widows will still be drawing pensions or
account of the war of 1912.

Ward the privilege of using them antil
his recovery. They were all sent to

they were attached by Wards creditors,
