1t is to our regret and the shame
of PaIatka that an account of the
election yesterday should contain
the particulars of fight and knock
down in the court house and about
the polls. Yet we warn those at a
distance that the circumstance can
in no way be attributed to political
animosity, but only to the effects of
whiskey which had been drunk de-
spite the attempt of our thoughtful
mayor to keep it from the polls.
Mayor Donnelly deserves the thanks
of all good citizens for his procla-
nation prohibiting the sale of in
toxicating liquors on election day;
those who take it despite all efforts
to save them from the crimes its
use engenders, must suffer the pen
atty, and the safety Of society re-
quires its infiction. The marshal
and sheriff performed their respec-
tive duties promptly and effectually;
no doubt their superiors will be
equally anxious to vindicate the law
and the fair fame of our city. In
their hands we leave the crime and
the criminals.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE TAR.


The Charleston News and Courier,
in discussing President Cleyeland's
position on the tariff question, says
that the New York Times, one of
the leading independent papers of
the country, is confident that Presi-
dent Cleveland will deal with the
tariff question, when it comes prop
erly before him, with ability and
sound Judgment, and that he will
express his views with the same
clearness and force and dignity that
have characterized his action and
views on other important questions
heretofore. He has never given any
sign of being more afraid of the tar
iff question than of the silver ques-
ton or the question Of administra-
tive reform, nor is he likely to rush
to extremes regarding it. Precisely
what he viii deem to be his duty
with reference to it no one knows,
because he has had no occasion to
declare his opinions, but that he
holds decided and carefully formed
opinions, and viii declare and act
upon them at the proper time, no
one who has studied his career and
conduct can doubt.
The president will be guided in
this important matter, says the
Times, by his observation of public
opinion and his study of public in
terests. We may be perfectly sure
that he will not make himself, or al
low himself to be made, The partisan
of any narrow clique or even of any
extreme doctrine, and that he will
not use the appointing power, di-
rectly or indirectly, to influence the
action of congress on the subject.
Judged by his conduct in the past
he will conine himself, so far as
congress is concerned, to making re-
Communications to that body in ac-
cordanoe with his own convictions,
and to the exercise of that share in
legislation involved in the veto pow
er, also in accordance with those
convictions.
The Times thinks that it is proba-
Die that President Cleveland will
strongly favor cautious but sub
stantial reform of the tariff, and
that his views viii be shared hv a
majority Of both houses of congress.
There exists, it believes, a decided
and well defined public opinion bas-
ed on certain general facts in the re.
lation of the tariff to the industries
and interests of the country. and
that this opinion win make itself
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1885-05-06

felt during the next session of con-
gress it regards as very probable.
The most important of the facts re-
ferred to are stated to be: (D That
the general industries of the coun-
try have reached a point where they
require foreign market ~ that
the present tariff, in the duties on
the materials Of manufacture in their
various stages, renders competition
in foreign markets extremely diff
cult in all cases and impossible in
many; 81 that the existing tariff is
substantially that of 1864, the crisis
Of the war, except where duties have
been advanced solely for the protec-
ton of limited classes, and a. that
the gradual, but sure and steady,
reduction of the duties imposed as
compensation for internal taxes long
since abolished, or increased simply
to protect special industries, not on
ly would be just and safe, but is de-
manded by the general interest.
The influence of these facts upon
public opinion, and of public opinion
upon congress, we are reminded,
will he greatly increased by the
fortunate fact that the administra-
tion is no longer under the thumb
of the monopolists who for at least
fifteen years have silenced any effec-
tive expression of its views and
that "the argument which for so
long time paralyzed the executive
and the leaders in congress of the
party in power-namely, that the
extreme protectionists must not be
offended, or the party would be tur-
ned outs happily no longer a val
id or potent argument" The Times
assumes that, in view of the fact
that the present administration and
the majority of the present House
"were not elected for the express
purpose of resisting a reduction of
oppressive tariff taxation" rational
public opinion will have chance to
make itself felt, and that S'this is all
that is necessary to secure the be-
ginning of the end of the complex
abuses and enormities of our tariff
laws"
The public, it may be added, look
forward with a degree of confidence
fully equal to that of the Times to
the declaration of the views of the
president upon the tariff question
and to his subsequent course IL
accordance with those views. Il
| will be well, indeed, if events shall
prove that congress is susceptible
also, to the influence of rational
opinions, and if those opinions shall
make themselves effectually felt fo1
the reformation of the abuses under
which the business interests of the
country have so long and so hope
lessly suffered.

STORY OF A BOTTLE

4 Love Letter from Mid-ocean Rea-
ches It's Destination.
A sea Captain relates that on June 4,
the schooner r. Bowers, Capt Thomp-
son, bound to Gloucester from Messina,
was pitching about in long ocean swell
in latitude 40 deg. 46 min. longitude 60
deg. AZ min. We had made a good run
thus far, but on this particular day struck
a dead calm. There was little to do, ex-
cept to watch the vessel and whistle for
wind, and several schemes were inven-
ted by the officers to pass away the time.
The second mate of the schooner, Mr..
Cruikshank, had left a sweetheart at
home, and naturally his mind drifted
across the watery waste to her bright
eyes. Noticing his preoccupied manner,
the Captains wife suggested that he
send his love a message from the sea.
The idea seemed good one. He wrote
a note, enclosed it in an envelope, adj
dressed it to the young lady at Big Crook,
Cape Creton, enclosed the whole in a
bottle, and threw it overheard.
There was great speculation at the time
| as to where the bottle would bring up :;
but in few hours a breeze sprung up.
and, in working the vessel, all thoughts
of the bottle and its contents were for
gotten. The schooner in due time arriy-
ed in Gloucester, and Mr.. Cruikshank
started for Cape Breton. His arrival was
expected, but his astonishment may be
imagined when his lady love brought
forth the identical bottle which the mate
had thrown into the sea, and produced
the note contained therein. The story of
the drift was a singular one. 1t had
been picked up on the shores of Little
Dover Bay, on the east end of Nova SEQ
tia, after drift of Il days duration,
and the finder sent it to the young lady.
/ Another singular circumstance connected
with the finding of the bottle was the
/ fact that the finder turned out to be a
near relative of Mr.. Cruikshank, al
/ though they never had seen each other.
/ The saltpetre beds of Nevada are far
better situated for the development of
their deposits than the nitre region of
/ South America, which is desert entire
4 ly devoid of water and vegetable life.
/ Water for all purposes is condensed from
/ the ocean water. and carried to the nitre
/ fields, while fuel has to be procured from

For years quinine was regarded as the
only specific for malarious diseases, and
immense quantities of the drug were
annually consumed throughout our west-
ern country, more particularly along the
river bottoms and adjoining low lands.
With the fall months malaria, in all its
varied forms, stalks like an epidemic
through the land, and whole districts are
Frustrated with chills and fever, the en-
tire population shaking with ague Here
tofore, quinine was regularly resorted TO;
but, while it frequently failed to effect a
cure, it invariably deranged the stomach,
producing nausea, vertigo and fugitive
pains in the head to such an extent that
II onths elapsed ere the system recovered
from its effects. These objections to its
use were so marked that the introduction
of Mlshler's Herb Bitters was hailed as a
triumph in medicine. Infinitely more
certain in its beneficial effects than qui-
nine, it possesses none of the dement's Of
that drug. Instead of aauseating, il tones
and invigorates the stomach, and while
speedily expelling the noxious humors
increases the appetite and facilitates
digestion, thus rendering the system
stronger and better fitted to resist the
attacks of disease. In fact, a judicious
use of Mishler's Herb Bitters at this
season of the year will present the re-
currence of this disease, even In those
