THE PEOPLE WANT PEACE.

If there has been any doubt about
it before, there can no longer be any.
This mornings demonstration ought
to satisfy all parties that the people of
Alturas county intend to have the
laws respected. And this, while be-
ing friendly to high wages and labor
unions.
If any man, or body of men, will
not work for the wages offered them,
they have right to refuse to work
And if they do the law will protect
them in their refusal. But they must
not attempt to prevent, by unlawful
means, others who wish to work for
less, as any such attempt will be re-
to be permitted to dictate to others
what they shall work for, they or 9TH
crs might continue to interfere with
individual rights until all our liberties
would be wi ped away, and we would
relapse into barbarism.
The members of the Broadford
Miners Unon-as 4 whole-under-
stand this too well to justify the fear
OF any open and concerted act of vio-
lcnce on their part. But there is
some danger that individual members
or $ .mpathizers, may assail the men
Just put to work on the
mines. To prevent this few
cool headed deputy shcril's-one Oh
two of whom shall be constantly OF
duty-is all that is required.

La Plata region, at least-is attributed
by Mr.. Arthur Nicols to the work of
an omniprescnt ant, which feeds upon
leaves and quickly destroys tree
Iings and other tender plants as soon
as the leaves appear above ground
Indian corn grows freely on these
plains, its growth being so rapid that
the insects do not succeed in com
pletely devouring the young plants.
A study and comparison of the
ocean temperature records Of the Chal-
lenger exploring expedition have
shown DR.. James Croll that the sur
face of the Atlantic must be lower at
the equator than farther north, the
maximum hight of the North Atlantic
being reached between the fortieth
and fftieth degrees of latitude. This
difference is due to the difference in
the specific gravity of the water. In
the latitude of Havana the Atlantic's
surface must be two and one fourth
feet higher than at the equator, and in
that of Chesapeake Bay the difference
is a foot greater.
In recent official publication, the
Chief Signal Officer has given sum-
married. account of 1890 of the
storms which occurred from January,
1876, to August, 1881, in a region

America, the Atlantic and Europe. OF

DR.. j. NJ. Anders has reached the
conclusion that only Towering plants
grown in well-lighted places, generate
ozone, and that the most odorous flow.
ers produce the greatest quantity
The ozone attacks the organic matter
of the air and by oxidation renders il
inert; and DR.. Anuers does not doub
that Towering plants in clear weathe
give Off enough Of this natural purify
ing agent to be Of hygienic value in
doors. Foliage plants, although yield
ing no ozone, may be of advantage i,
contributing to the maintenance of ;

BY long series Of experiments, ;
Russian physician, DR.. Zulinski, ha
proven that tobacco. smoke is a dis
tinct poison, although its action upol
men is very slight unless inhaled il
considerable quantities. lie has foun.
that the poisonous property is no
exclusively due to the nicotine, fol
tobacco smoke contains a second tox
zeal princip pie called coidine, as wei
as carbonic oxide and hydrocyani'
acid. The effects depend largely upo'
the nature Of the tobacco and tn,
manner Of smoking it. The mos
poison is derived from the smoking o
cigars, less from cigarettes, still les
from pipes, and least of all from tn
use of nargilcs or any other apparatu
in which the smoke is passed through
water. Tobacco which has been arti
ticially lightcned in color is, in d.
! Iulihski's opinion, more dangerou
than the darker kinds.

OUR MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

OUR MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Our present council has done all
in the power of men with their slen-
der means to reform the abuses
which had become a part of our city
government. The accounts are now
capable of Ineligible statement;
the books are carefully kept and the
public debt as well as the public IN
come accurately known. 1t is not
necessary to show that evils still
exist, but we must in justice give our
present officials credit for good
work done in a business manner to
the great saving of the public purse.
This admitted, and the movement
of the same citizens irrespective of
party to continue the same order of
things was to have been expected.
When this movement took practical
shape by the nomination of a citi-
zens' ticket headed by John H. Mer-
ryday, the record already made was
sufficient to command the support of
those who value good order and
clean government in Palatka. But
Mr.. Merryday is not entirely DEEPEN
dent on the record made by his sup
porters. During long residence in
our city he has been recognized al
ways as a clear headed, honest, ca
pable business man; as an official
his hands have been clean, his heart
incapable of fear or favor in the dis
charge of public duties, and his
| judgment has been always pene-
trating and exact His political
opinions have owned no slavish
subservence to the platforms of
either party, but his support has
been given to the candidate who
seemed to him most devoted to the
best interests of the whole people.
1t is useless in place as small as
Palatka to discuss the personal mer-
its of the gentlemen whose names
have been placed on the different
tickets. These are well known tc
most of us, and those who desire
can readily gain any information al
little trouble. The reasons giver
above are sufficient to secure FOL
Mr.. Merryday our hearty support
and others equally cogent will in
/ fuence us when we vote the whole
ticket headed by his name. In thC
election of these men we feel as
sured the best interests OF our city
will be subserved. If he is to b,
beaten, we are sincerely sorry tina
the first programme of the opposi
ton which contemplated the nomi
nation of a most estimable coloreC
citizen, was not carried out. If w
cannot have Merryday we SHOULD
much prefer Purcell to Donnelly
In electing Merryday we shall
have a thousand good reasons 70
our action; we see none for the sue
cess of Donnelly, save that merci
full God sometimes cleanses a peopl
of public sin by the infiction 0
bad government.

OUR MAJORITY IN THE CONyEN.
TION

The democrats will be entirely re-
sponsible for the instrument made
by the constitutional convention
soon to assemble in Tallahassee. For
the work of the immediate past and
the near future we shall be held to
strict account by our political OPP
ponents who have lost power in
great measure because of their sins
of omission and commission on a
like occasion.
Let us not forget too that we
shall confron'ed at the outset by
the worst danger besstting the re-
pablieaGs in 1868. The furious
zeal of an undoubted party majority
has often wrecked ships freighted
with bright hopes pure as ours, and
the haven is often never reached
even after the goodly vessel had
been sighted from the shore. The
matters to bo discussed are delicate
as we'll as important; the conflicting
interests to be adjusted require IN
sight impossible to the clonded IN
tellect OF jaundiced eye. We firm
ly believe that we could predict the
formation Of a good constitution
with more certainty if the conven-
ton contained a strong minority of
intelligent and conscientious repub-
Leans. Since this is not to be, dem
oerats should exercise still greater
care in the choice of their delegates.
If republicans decline all participa-
tion in our labors, to us entirely will
be the shame of defeat or the glory
of victory which will decide the
political complexion of Florida for
several years.
There will be no danger of defeat
if the new questions are decided in
the same spirit which guided our
forefathers in the formation of a
government which has done so much
already for the human race. With
us must reside the doctrine that all
power of right is in. the people; that
the machinery of government can
possess lawfully only the power ex.
pressly given it, and that the ma.
chine owes its existence only to the
people at large for whose benefit il
is run. And of course will follow
the corolIary that the less power
given, if commensurate with the
work to be performed, the less dan
ger of shipwre7k and disaster to al
concerned.
The democracy owes its presen
ascendency to the disgust generally
felt at the paternal methods ant
personal abuses Of the republicans
The only way to steer clear of hk,
dangers is to oonfne legislation t,
broad principles and leave loca
matters and personal grievances t,
private correction through the courts
The great hindrance to justice il
our country to-day arises from tn
abundance of legal remedies and tn
profusion of statutory attempts a
petty correction.
