We doubt if some of the parents of
of Palatka know of the danger their
children run into about the river bank.
A day or two ago, on River street, several
children were engaged in jumping from
one of the platforms used by the fisher
men into small boat. They would get
a good running start and jump most
recklessly, and should they have missed
their footing or fallen out of the boat, it
is very probable that some of the little
fellows would have been drowned. Par
ents should watch after these children.
or there will be funeral here some of
these days caused by their negligence.

What the People Want.

New York World.
Before the country makes up its mind
to rid itself of the grand old party, twill
demand to be satisfied that the Democra-
cy is united and harmonious in favor of
effective administrative reform and a
strong American policy. The people
want honest legislation, honest elections,
pure judiciary, the protection and ele-
walton of labor, the proper restriction of
corporate power, deduced taxation, econ
omy and simplicity in administration,
and assured punishment for official crime,
If the candidates and harmony of the
Democratic party assure these reforms,
the days of Repubhcanism will be num-
bered.

A Frolicsome Arabian Stallion.

From the Scientific American.
A suit was tried in one OF our
city courts the other day against
Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., for injury
done to the plaintiff "a Mr.. Bailey
by a vicious horse. Some years
ago Gen. Grant had present
ed to him Il pair of Arabian stall
lions, which were beng kept at
his sons farm in Westchcster Co.
One day one of the stations was
ridden to a store in the village,
and hitched to n post. At this
time Mr.. Bailey was coming down
the road in a two horse wagon
looded with eleven cans of milk.
Mr.. Bailey, on the witness stand
told substantially the following
story of what next happened: The
young man who rode the horse had
scarcely entered the store when
the stallion threw up his head, pull
off the headstall, and started up
the road. lie came in contact
with the compliments horses.
kicked and bit them, and crowded
them into a ditch. Then the stall
lion put his fOreteet intothe wagon,
upset the milk cans, and then he
leaped into the wagon like a dog
and sat down in compliments lap.
Then he kicked Mr.. Bailey over
backward, paved him out of the
wagon, jumped out, kicked over
the wagon, tore the harness, and
caused the witness horses to run
away. The horse then paved the
complainant in the face, broke a
rib on the left side, injured his
spine, badly bruising his shoulder,
and left him unconscious upon the
frozen ground. Mr.. Bailey was
assisted home, and has since been
an invalid.
The defense was that U. S.
Grant, Jr.. did not own the horse;
that he offered to settle all damages
to wagon, horses, milk, and har-
ness, and to pay Bailey's doctor
bill, and that the offer was declin.
ed. The jury gave Bailey a verdict
tor $4,000.
