The Clabber CIwb.

The club met in the presidents hall on
yesterday, Judge Vertrees III the chair.
Truthful Jeemes was elected secretary,
and was installed in authority on an
orange box. All regular business was
suspended and the club sent for car
riage and went fishing. Amid much
iolity Mr.. Ramsaur in person drove the
party in a coach and six to the shore of
a clear, deep lake and requested them to
dismOunt. Silence and deep earnestness
took complete possession of the party and
the rods and lines were quickly put to
work. Completely disguised at their
non-success, the party called on Major
Royal for a speech which was composed
of nothing but masonic secrets unfit for
publication. The secretary took careful
notes, but lady passed and said good
mornings" whereupon Truthful Jeemes
was so embarrassed that he dropped his
copious remarks into the lake and they
sailed a mile beyond his reach under the
impulse of a stiff breeze. The president
asked few questions, and found we had
been fishing in the grand lake on Lemon
street. The absence of success is accoun-
ted for when we consider that 10 has not
yet been stocked with carp. Disappoint-
ed and hungry, the party drove home,
and thanked Mr.. Ramsaur in some reso-
lutions which heaped imprecations on
our town authorities for being so neglect
full of public interests that such mis-
take was possible. Under the influence
of a good supper and ample supplies of
clabber, the club began to appreciate
Royals ancient jokes and the evening
was brought to happy close.
WitnesS-The Secretary.

Several gentlemen have chartered the
steamer Gem" for to-day, and will go to
Deep Creek on a fishing excursion. The
only thing this reporter regrets about
the frOlic is that he cannot be along to
enjoy the fun.
! Early Sunday morning Palatka was
visited by the heaviest rain we had had
this summer. At an early hour the rain
| commenced, and for about one hour and
| a half the water fell in sheets, flooding
| the streets and in some places washing
| the ground considerably.
Capt Lucas carried number Of his
friends up Rice creek on the steamer
Escort, recently purchased by him, on
Sunday afternoon. The gentlemen who
went on the trip report a nice ride and
lots of fun, and the way watermelOns
were demolished demonstrated the fact
that the boys could eat.
We are glad to see that Hon. John H.
Harp of Crescent City, has been reap
pointed justice of the peace by Governor
Bloxham. As democrat and citizen his
character is unimpeached, and his former
term was thoroughly satisfactory to the
people of our sister town. Success to
him as farmer, real estate agent, justice
of the peace, or in any other position to
which he may be called by the needs and
wishes Of our citizens.
The mayors court didn't pan out yes
terday morning as it usually does for
Monday. Not even a common drunk, to
say nothing of the irrepressible Saturday
night fight, was found on the docket, and
as the mayor sat and figured out the costs
h lost by not having any cases sbefore
him, he heaved a great sigh, and men
tally passed a series of resolutions declar-
ing that this town has greatly improved
in morals, or else the boys" are short of
money and cannot take in the ''elaphpnt''
as formally.
There is nothing suspicious-lool1ing

There is no harm in a Florida watermelon
for Queen Victoria: none in the world.
1t acts as a soothing balm for royal

A Snake Story.

A day or two ago little girl who lives
on Fourth street saw snake about five
feet in length crawling through the yard
when she picked up hoe lying by and
cut it in two. The little girl was some
what surprised to see young snakes, about
foot in length, run out at the old one,
and she kept killing the little fellows I'M
til she had.dispatched five, when she called
q gentleman to her assistance who killed
eight more, making in all, including the
old one, fourteen snakes killed by them.
This story is vouched for by reliable par
ties, and goes to show that Florida, in
snakes as well as everything else, is just
little ahead of the balance of the
country.

ConsoIing Republican Paper.


Philadelphia Record.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Even
ing News, reasons with much philosophy
in behalf of Blaine that the powers of
the President are so limited that he is
not capable of rong-doing, if he were
so disposed. The Senate has control of
all his appointments, and he dare not
violate or fail to execute any law for fear
of impeachment. For these and like rea-
sons the News appeals to Independent re-
publicans to stand by the ticket The
theory of our contemporary is that in
this representative government the chief
power resides in congress, not in the
President But when it turns to the
other side of its proposition its philosophy
disappears and the partisan come to the
surface. In case a democratic president
should be chosen by the votes of boiling
republicans, the News draws a dreadful
pictu e of the consequences. The tariff,
the south, and all the departments of the
government would be reconstructed:
civil service reform would be arrested.
and in short chaos would come again.
The difficulty is to reconcile this argu-
ment Would not a democratic presi-
dent and a republican president be under
just the same restraints of constitution
and laws? In the matter of appoint
ments to Office, would not the senate ex-
ercise as much control over the one as
the other? The tariff reconstruction.
when made, will be the work of con-
gress, not of the president? Judging by
the respective records of Blaine and Lo-
gan on the one side and of Bayard, Cleve-
land and Holman on the other, for ex-
ample, it is not a very violent presump-
ton that the civil service would be as
clean and the laws as faithfully executed
under the latter as under the former.
