SIGNS OF THE TINES.

In the solar system two opposite forces
hold the planets in their orbits. One
tends to send these worlds in straight
line through space, the other draws them
towards the sun. Each exactly balances,
otherwise the whole universe would plunge
into one general catastrophe of ruin and
destruction. SO in human sociology, III
all government, there are two forces.
one tending to an excess of freedom.
of liberty tending towards anarchy; the
other in the opposite direction towards
centralized and consolidated power.
The equilibrium between these two forces
in human government, as in the solar
system, is the grand object of all legisla-
ton.
In the present era in the United States,
as we'll as other countries the
social disorganization, in the direction of
anarchy, seems to overbalance its oppo-
site, and from the centralized dcspOtisms
of the Middle Ages, the world seems, like
the swinging of pendulum, to be drift
ing towards the other extreme.
Everywhere the masses of mankind
even in the United States seem organ
izing, not for the unfolding of govern
ment and the good order of society but for
their final overthrow, and the substitution
in their stead of agrarianism and social
ism, which respect no law, and pull down
and destroy, but cannot build up.
In every country-this not excepted
secret leagues, oath-bound associations,
are gathering into their dark-lantern con-
claves the entire lower strata of society
the ignorant, the vicious, the desper-
ate, the outlaw and the So
cial outcast, the hyenas and jackals,
of humanity, In some instances the So
cialists and anarchists followers of
Herr Most, for example-the avowed OBJ
iect is the utter overthrow of the present
social system, the destruction of religion,
the redistribution of property, the total
demolition of the social fabric. In other
words, reducing society back to the days
of Abraham and Isaac.
Tie practical question for us all to solve
is how long will society, which must and
will protect itself, allow these forces Cf
disintegration and destruction to hold
sway!
History furnishes solution to the
question, and warning voice is heard
from the ruins of the ancient republics
and former democracies of the world. 1t
is that society, before submitting to Its
own disntegration, will prefer to consoli
date its inherent power, If necessary, into
despotism strong enough to balance the
forces of disintegratiOn.
In this country, for instance, it is more
than probable the next two decades will
witness changes in our government in the
direction of strengthening it, in the face
of the numerous secret leagues, whose
spreading power seriously menaces social
order. The proposed amendment to the
extending the presidential
term, introduced in the senate the other
day, looks little like it.

4 NOBLE HEART.

The inimitablc wit, Bob Burdette, has {
soul, even more attuDed to tears than tC
Joy. For years while convulsing this con
tinent with laughter he had for his bosom
companion little, dwarfed, distorted
disfgured body made a pitiable object by
terrible scalding accident. His little
wife was lis companion on all his jour
neys and even as he bore her along help
less in his arms, pride and love suffused
his face-she was his little major" and
he idolized her. Upon her death some
eighteen months ago, he sent friend a
letter, that was widely published whose
pathos was most intense. And lately he
penned the touching, tender lines given
below-truly his life proves "The lightest
heart makes oftimes heaviest mourning"
Since she went home
The evening shadows linger longer here,
The winter days ill so much of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and 0rear,
Since she went home
Since she went home
The robin note has touched minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but sad refrain,
And laughter sOhs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since she went home
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence blessed;
Untouched the pillow that her dear head prcssed
My lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest,
Since she went home
Since she went home
The long long days have crept away like years,
The sunlight has dmmed with doubts and fears,
And the dark nights have raincd in lonely tears.
Since she went home

The firing of revolvers and the cry of
fire alarmed our citizens Friday night
about l2 o'clock, the alarm being caused
by the burning of an abandoned shanty
on Main street, just beyond the Florida
Southern Railway shops.
The old shanty has not been occupied
for months, and had about gone To rack,
and the loss will not prove very serious
to the owner. Luckily it stood in an
isolated spot. and no other buildings
were put in danger from the fire, the
wind being mild and in favorable di-
rection. The fire was clearly of an in
cendiary origin, but just what it was
burned for is not very clear. The steam
fire engine was brought out, but the dis
lance of the fire from water prevented it
from doing any special good service.
We know that fires are dreadful things,
and an alarm in Palatka always causes
great excitement on account of recent
calamities, but in giving the alarm Fri
day night, it seems to US that there was
entirely too much gunpowder wasted.
Revolvers could be heard popping in
every direction, which, aside from the
waste OF ball and powder, was somewhat
dangerous TO life.

Among the small or middle races of

points, and are equally valuable for cross

The really careful breeding of pigs,
and the preservation of lIedigrees in
England dates back but comparatively
few years. Pigs took thei r names from
the counties in which they were bred
and breeders or exhibitors at shows called
their pigs SufTolks or Norfolks perhaps.
so it happened that some white pigs that
won prizes at the shows, were imported
To this country under the name of Suf-
folks. The pigs were good and had quite
a run. but when we wanted more. We
found that Sutfolks as recognized IN
England were black, and that the high

with which they paid over to me the
sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, that be-
ing the amount for which the life of my
late husband, John n. Strous, was in
