BEGINNING no THINK

The letters Of T. i. Mccoy pub
lished by Us, especially the one in
yesterdays issue, show that the ne
gro has grown tired. of being led by
the nose, and viii soon assert all the
rights with which he stands clothed
under the law. That few leaders
should turn his vote bodily over to
Pope is mark of political slavery
against which he is beginning to
protest, and when these leaders fur
Their demand that he should oppose
the real leader Of his race in Florida
in supporting the carpet-bagger Bis
bee, the time has come for self-asser-
ton. AS long as the race allows it
self to be bartered simply as so ma
ny voters, and passes from one lead
er to another to make good political
trades, they give little encourage
ment or hope to those who watch
anxiously their course. They have
heretofore been considered clannish
as Scotchmen in all that appealed
to race prejudice; for twenty years
they have voted solidly without ask
ing the reason why; if they desert
Walls and vote for Bisbee, public
opinion must break fresh ground for
new departure from which to form
other conclusions.

DEMOCRATIC PALATKA.

The sixth of September must be q
glorious day for our town. The fiat
has gone forth that we shall demon
strate our appreciation of good gov
crnment, and our love for the prin
ciplcs which have enabled us to
emerge from the darkness of the
past into the glorious sunlight of the
present. Our city win then receive
as the guests of It's citizens, the fin
est opponents of democratic princi-
pies, our leaders in many hard strug
giles of the past, our guides in the
present, our hopes for the future.
These will give reasons for the earn
est attitude now, assumed by the
people of Florida in reference to our
public affairs; from the lips of these
will come the authoritative exposi-
ton of the principles underlying is
sues now claiming our attention in
the state and nation. BY his vote,
the citizen will soon be called upon
to express preference for a policy
to bind him and his fellows for
better or worse during the next four
years; the will of those most inter-
ested can now be made effective on
questions concerning our individual
welfare, and the course of our rulers
In the county, state and nation, can
now be dictated by us. Nay, as the
freest people on the face of the
earth, lovers Of freedom everywhere
look to us for such practical exem-
phfication of the principles upon
which our constitution rests that the
political gospel of liberty suffers
nanght by reason of our misconduct.
For the two parties now asking
the confidence of the people repre-
sent different ideas and forces in
government. Once in four years
each citizen becomes a political pow
er in the land; it is then incumbent
on him to exercise that power wise
" as may be, and with an eye single
to the general interest Of his eoun-
try. Therefore we hope that all cit
liens irrespective of party aflilia-
ton" or partizan prejudice, will
come on the 9th prox. to hear from
those authorized TO speak for one
great section Of our people, the
views they advocate, and thereasons
for such faith as ism them.

THE SITUATION.

II am reminded on this occasion
of the day when Gen. Washington
assumed command to save his coun-
try, and of the coming of Christ to
redeem sinful world. Hon. f.
w. Pope at Palatka and at Crescent
City.
Our General Perry, the peoples man,
Is called again to leave his folks,
For he draws his furrow us straight as he can
And into nobody's tater-patch pokes,
But Hind with a bee
In hisbonnet he,
Says he cannot vote for General 2,
Myl it is terrible! what shall we do,
We can never elect him o. course-that's fiat
Guess we shall have to come round don'tyou0
And go in forreform and big talk and all that
For Mr.. Hind-he
With bonnetted bee
Says he never can vote for General p.
Lawyer Pope is a lrefie smart man,
He's been on all sides that gives place or pelf,
But consistency still was part of his plan,
He's been true to one party-and that is him
self;
But Hind has bee
IN his bOnnct-so he
Says he must vote for lawyer P.
We are coming on finely up here in our town,
When n little man dressed in a string and a
curl,
Thinks he's sent to save us-a now Washington;
But his face, not his record, is like that of girl
SO Mr. Hind he,
With the bonnetted bee,
Is the only voter for lawyer P
The democrat says he never heard in his life
That the apostles rugged out in their swallow
tail coats
And marched round in front OF q drum and a
fife,
To gotsomo on 'em Office, butall on 'em votes
But Mr.. Hind, he,
With the bonnetted bee
Says they didn't know everything down in
Judee.
Wen, its mercy we've got folks to tell us,
The rights and the wrongs of these matters
VOW
God q sends country lawyers and other wise
felers,
To drive the worlds team when it gets in q
slough,
For this small lawyer Z.
The new savior he,
Says the world win go right il he hollers out
GEE.

The National Flower OF China,

ii.
With the Chinese the lily is the ma
tioaal flower and many superstitions at
tach to it. Should it blossom upon New
Years day. it is regarded as a most hap
Ply omen, presaging the best luck to the
fortunate owner of the plant For this
reason a good deal of care is bestowed
upon the lily by the cinnamon, in the
hope that it may put forth its flower up
on the morning of the anniversary. The
Chinese lily is different from any other
variety. 1t is grown by placing the
bulb ON pieces of glass, stone and china,
and giving it liberal supply of water.
The flower is white, with a gold-colored
centre, something between a daisy and a
narcissus. It's fragrance is delightful.

THH 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
Hnlns Of all THE Sun printed aud sold last year
You would get q continuous stripe of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough TO reach
from Printing House square to the top Of
Mount COpcrnicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then thrccquGr-
ters of the way back TO the moon again.
But THE Sun is written for the inhabitants
Of the earth: this same strip of intelligence
tWcnty-eight times.
!. If every buyer of copy OF THE Sun during
past year has spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af-
forded the human race thirteen thousand years
Of steady reading, night and day.
1T 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
American men and women.
THE SUN IS, and viii continue to be, \ news
paper which tells the truth without f9ar OF
consequences. which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs. which presents
the news all over tue 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-
hevGs that the Republican party must &C. and
must so in this coming year of our Lord. 1884
1t you know THE SUN, you like il already.
and you viii read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. IL you do not
know THE Sex. it is high time TO get into the
sunshine.
