New York Tribune.
Mr.. Pritchard, who lives in Il suburban
New Jersey village, has Newfoundland
shepherd puppy, not more than nine
months old. Its kennel, to which it is
chained, is about fifty yards from the
house. The other day the regular feed
ing time passed without its food being
taken to it. The dog waited an hour i'm
patiently and then barked and howled
Failing toeattract attention, he broke his
chain, picked up the earthen dish in
which his food was always served, and
started for the house. Entering the open
door he sought Mrs. Pritchard and her
daughter and held the empty dish up to
them with a pleading expression in his
dark brown eyes. IF that was instinct"
said Mr.. Pritchard in telling the story.

PALATKA, FLA, AUG. 16tJ eS5.

Those who express dissatisfaction
with our new constitution make the
mistake of comparing it with an
ideal one, and not with the one it is
about to replace. 1t is reason suffici-
cnt forour support that it is certainly
not worse than that of 1868, and is
much more easily amended.

INTOLERANCE.

We publish elsewhere two com
munications which show the cxtre-
mes to which partisan prejudice can
carry its blind votaries. In one we see
that the colored people of Palatka re-
fuse toaccept the benefits of theschool
system for which they have been rep
resented as yearning so eagerly be-
cause these are to be dispensed by
democratic teacher. Let it be
borne in mind that no objection is
made to Mccoy except that he is a
democrat let it not be forgotten
that he is the most capable appli-
cant, and has been regularly APP
pointed by the school board of the
county. Before his pronounced sup
port of the democratic party he was
on, of the teachers most acceptable
to his colored brethren, and there
has never been any complaint based
On his want of morality or mental
capacity. Let it also be remember
ed hat the q. w. Fowler who now
heads tbs crusade of partisan preju-
dice is ,ne delegate whose son was
made a page in the convention on
melton of Senator Mann because it
was considered necessary "to drop
partisan feelings" and that the same
Fovler was lately a ''non-partisan"
indicate before the people of Put
lam.
But for all this we feel no re-
onsibility because the delinquency
s0m correct principle is found
4ong our opponents. Bnt when a
a4.IlInent democratic official Of the
county predicts the defeat of his
party because Mr. Cleveland ignored
his recommendation for the appoint
ment to a petty federal office, we
feel called upon to inquire why his
name was not proposed at the
Chicago convention that our dele
gates might have been allowed the
choice between him and such men as
Cleveland, Hendricks and Tilden.
In this even more silly feeling is
shown and with less excuse than in
the other case. The poor negroes
have no more sense than to inject
campaign prejudices into the com
mon school system, and are taught
by our inflated white demagogucs
to wave the bloody shirt in the
schoolroom because a democrat is
appointed teacher the democrat is
amazed that his petty feelings fail
to weigh with the president, and yet
finds no grounds for discomfort ex-
cept those urged against DIR. Fell.
We are sorry to see representative
democrat sink to the same level Of
thought as that upon which
stan Is Maj. G. p. Fowler.

The Little Travellers From Florida.
Birmingham, Ala, Age.
When the nOrth-bOund train of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad reached
the depot yesterday at 1910 the conduc-
tor helped two little girls off and placed
them on the vcranda of the Relay House.
The children were alone, and apparently
friendlcss. One was about seven years
of age and the other twelve. On the hat
of the largest was pinned n card with the
following inscription: ITO John r..
Craft, or j. A. Craft, of Eutaw, Ala,
care of the conductor" On the breast
of the child was pinned an envelope con-
tanning two tickets from st. Clair, Flor
ida.
The little girls began to cry and at
tracted attention. Officer Smith took
them over to his house and kept them
until the next train going south. While
the children We're at Officer Smith 5
house an Age reporter called to see them.
The elder one was quiet and had a sad
expression, while the little one enjoyed
herself as much as if she had been at
home. Both the little ones declined to
talk and the reporter played with them
some time before he could get their
story. The children were Maggie and
Minnie Craft, of Eutaw, who had been at
st. Clair, Fla, with a Mrs. Spavy who
had cared for them since the death of
their mother ten months ago. The father
moved to Alabama and sent for the chill
drcn. The oldest child was told before
she left home to keep her mouth closed.
This she seemed to do cffectually. The
little wanderers We're placed on board an
n. G.. S. train late in the afternoon and
continued their long and tiresome jour
ney, which they commenced Sunday
night.

FROM THE COUNTRY.
The Constitution and the Party

The Constitution and the Party.
Editor PALATkA NEWS:
| suppose you would like to know
what the people generally think of the
new constitution. In our neighborhOod
we fear there is "tOo much crow" in it
promise and cOwardice. 1t is neither
democatic nor republican-it promises
neither rule by the people, nor safe
conservatism. Men of both parties
express much dissatisfaction and de-
clare their intention to vote against it
when the time comes. There is besides,
strong feeling to make an issue of the
money question at the next election, and
vote against any candidate for the legis
lature who will not pledge his efforts to
defeat any appropriation for expenses of
the convention over and above the orig
inal amount appropriated. So far as we
can see, the democratic majority was
composed of three classes-goOd men
like Maxwell, Blount, Mcclellan, Cook
and Davidson demagogues like Mann,
Leslie, Sanchez and others, who allowed
private feelings to govern their official
conduct, and q crowd who ran with
the hare and hunted with the hounds,
or shirked every possible responsibility.
And while we are dis cussinG demo-
Gratis, we will observe that a county of
fetal honored us with a visit last week,
and stated that President Cleveland has
'bustcd the party i'll our county and
sent it to the devil by refusing the
postOffice to a certain individual whose
have not thought Palatka democrats
models for imitation in view of their late
conduct, and beg leave to say that if the
party is busted in that centre of civil
iZatiOn, the explosion occurred before
the appointment of the present post
master. Mr.. Cleveland's appointee
stands peer among the best of his po-
litical brothers, while as a citizen and
official, his character is above reprOach.
His inilueAce among us is not weakened
by the defeat brought about by personal
spite and Il combination led by such
toadies as John Marshall and A. Knight.
If the statement as made by the official
from Palatka is true, let us know the
cause. If the party which includes such
men as Grill, McMeckin, Causey,
Stephens, Harrison, McRea, Bishop and
a host of others has gone to the door
of the Palatka postoffice to bust and go
to the devil like ripe watermelon,
there we will all join some time, not
wing of nondescripts, led by Fowler and
A. Knight Yours. TOMMY.

Captain S. S. Falkenberg, a seafaring man.
The captain has little daughter, Mamie,
twelve years old. The youthful Buckingham
saw the whole Falkenberg family leave
their house one day. He crept into their
yard, broke into the house by pushing back
the window fastenings with piece of iron
hoop, ransacked the house from top to bot
tom, put clothing, jewelry, and silverware
in bundles and piled them in the halls, and
scattered the contents of bureau drawers
about the floors. Then he waited for Mamie
to come home from school. He had n big
single barrel pistol. He stopped Mamie and
in tragic whisper told her that she must not
go into the house alone; there were burglars
there. He took her key and went in with his
great pistol cooked in his hand. Presently
he returned and announced that he had driv-
en- off the burglars. Then he ran to a police
station and informed the officers of the dar-
ing crime and his own bravery. a detective
went to the house, but doubted Willie's story
of three wicked looking men in slOuched
hats. The detective found that the marks
of two small feet led from the back window
that was opened to Willie'S yard. He re-
membered the story of burglary at Willie
house, and putting two and two together. de-
cided to arrest the young desperate. The
youth was marched off to the police station,
but as he had taken nothing from Captain
Falkenberg's house, he was released.
