To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
OF course patriotic men thank both
Yourself and the editor Of the State for
your efforts to induce taxpayers to pay
their lust debts to the State in money.
Now how does the below sound for con-
sistency?
Mr.. Timpkins "Yes, Mr.. wilkins,
it was a shame and disgrace that Vir-
GINA should have ever tried to cheat
her creditors out of about one third of
what was due them, as was proposed
by the Riddleberger settlement and as
for myself, | want yet to see every one
of her creditors get all the corrupt, it
may be- Legislature Of 1871 said was
due them. Because the State had a
right, so far as any law was concerned,
to try to do such cheating only made
the thing worse"
Mr.. Wilkins We'll. Mr.. Timkins,
you know the people have repeatedly
declared that they would never pay all
that was declared by the Legislature
of 1871 as due by the State, as they
thought such amount was unjust, aud
you also know that both of the two great
parties in Virginia have pledged them
selves to stand by the Riddleberger
settlement. Now, if you voted with
either of those parties, cannot you see
that you are in honor bound to
stand by such settlement by paying
your taxes in money!"
Mr.. Timpkins Permit me to re-
mark that did not vote at all, and so
| am not bound by honor to do as you
say, and so consider | have perfect
right to pay my taxes in coupons"
Mr.. wilkins Well, Mr.. limp
kins, let me ask you few questions ;
You say Virginia should pay every
cent she owes, and il that be so, do you
not think it would be equally as honest
in you to pay one hundred cents in the
dollar for every just debt that you
may owe? Now you cannot, without
violating the plainest truth, deny that a
debt for taxes is Just debt and is due
in money, and if it was incumbent on
the State, as you think, to pay all her
creditors thought was due, is it not
doubly incumbent on you, from your
own standpoint, to pay just debt OF
| sl00 with one hundred dollars, instead
Of fixing things so that you can pay
such debt with about $50! Further
more, let me ask you if when your
taxes were laid. whether by bond or
coupon, you held claim against the

last that the Riddlsbsreer bill Is 20 Dc
accepted, and the lawmakers should
clinch the matter by protecting it, oiii-
GERS in carrying out the law. and at the
Same time enscting such measures IS
will mos. effectuAlly compass the de-
sired result"
This we believe to be the determine
ton Of the people Of Virgins, and woe
be to him who causes the debt again to
become a party question.

vice and for clerical positions in the post
offices. Excessive numbers are applying
to be employed, under the belief that ar
bitrary and partisan removals are being
made, or are soon to be made. L have
heard of no case of such removals, and
do not believe that any such removals
will be made There will doubtless be
some removals for good cause, but not
enough to give places to half those seek
ing to be examined. The Old-time
partisan prescription is not, in my
opinion, to be renewed. Our politics are
now more civilized, and sound public
opinion is more formidable. Within the
past ten days the commission has made
certifcations for filling eleven vacancies
in the Departments at Washington,
which is about the usual rate, and tive
promotions and four permanent appoint
ments after probation have been made
from among these selected under the
rules. Several of these cases were
in the treasury department.

Intellect and Manner.

Lillian Writing.
There is less danger that the intelligent
country boy or girl, with taste for
books and some opportunities for study
and reading-there is less danger that
such one will not be fitted to meet the
colIege-bred youth on equal intellectual
grounds than there is that they will feel
themselves at a disadvantage in the subt-
Ter ways which may be somewhat nebu-
lousy designated as manners. For it is
manner more than learning that pre-de-
termines social grades and castles. Give
a boy address and accomplishments, ="
says Emerson "and you give him the
mastery of palaces and fortunes where
ever he goes. He has not the trouble of
earning or owning them; they solicit him
to enter and possess"
And again: There are certain man
ners which are learned in good society
of that force that if a person have them
/ he or she must be considered and is
everywhere welcome, though without
( beauty or wealth or genius" Now there
( is no reason why this subtle, all-prevad
/ ing power of manner should not be just
as much a part of the country as of the
city home. 1t is something not acquired
on the street nor on the market place
and it is very largely in the hands OF the
mother. Essential refinement in hel
nature must work outward and shape
the lives of the household. lis polite
society polite p is question asked by
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, and it is one
that must be too often answered in tht
negative.

Consolation That Didn't Console.

My friend, A. G. Beeson, of Winches-
ter, Ind. was, few years ago, director
of the state prison at Michigan City, Ind.
To him, among many others, came a
convict, not once, but often, complain
ing that be was an innocent man most
unjustIy held in confinement. To all
these complainings Beeson had one un-
varying consolation. "Oh, yes" he
would say, in his good-natured way, Il
know you are all right; you are an hon
est man; you should not be in here. But
then just think of all the fellows outside
who ought to be in here and amt" And
you know this used to comfort the poor,
innocent convict, and he'd go back to
his cell, contented as martyr, and
think over it all night and wonder in the
morning why it didn't seem so satisfacto-
ry to him as it did the night before
Bob Burdette.

For the Constitutional Convention.

To THE VOTERS OF PUTNAM COUNTY:
Knowing, as we do. the necessity of having
competent and experienced men to serve as
delegates for the revision of the Constitution
of the State of Florida, and recognizing the
service of Maj. Geo. P. Fowler in this respect
we wonld suggest his name as delegate to the
convention to be held for that purpose in
June.
Major Fowler has served a number of years
in the Illinois legislature, and was member of
the Illinois constitutional convention held
some years ago, in which he acquitted himself
with honor and distinction. In view of these
facts we would invite all citizens of Putnam
county, irrespective of party affiliations, to
give Major Fowler their earnest support at
the coming election for delegates.
