SHERHAN'S LEAD.

The attack Of John Sherman on the
Presidents message shows at once the
desperation and the dishonesty of the
Republicans After years Of hcodwink-
ing the country as to the actual position
of this nation financially, driven into a
corner by the frank. straightforward
message of the President, they turn
upon him and, first abusing him
for not loading his message with
reference to matters about what
the people care little or nothing,
our foreign relations, the Senator
accuses him of not doing the very
things he has done and berates him for
not exceeding his powers. The Presi-
dent has done all that Congress and the
Constitution have allowed him to- do
toward applying the surplus to the pay
ment of the National debt. The reduc-
tions made in the way of revenue re-
ceipts under the provisions of the law Of
1888 were paltry, they were designed to
quiet the public they were but make
shifts. In spite of them the revenue has
exceeded the expenditures of the Gov
cihhlcHt W THAI lOiIit tiis1t tiic DuSiucSS
of the country has been hampered and a
financial crisis stares us in the face.
With what has Senator Sherman to meet
the exigencies that have arisen but vague
charges that the Government has failed
to do certain things which the Constitu-
ton gives the President no power to do.
Senator Voorhees, has risen to the oc-
Casion. His answer was fitting. There
is no other method of meeting the men,
dacity of the Republican leaders except
by taking stand upon the broad plat
form of the public welfare and showing
that these partisans really advocate the
subserviency of the interests Of the
people to those of their own party and
of few wealthy manufacturers. A
few, we say, because the message of the
President has met with favorable re-
spoons from hundreds of manufacturers,
all feeling that the tariff is inimical to
their interests and therefore to the in
terests of their employees-and this has
maddened the Republicans more than
anything else that has occurred.
The Republicans are on the run. The
President has surprised them and shown
the weakness of their position. 1t re-
mains for the Democrats in Congress to
put them to utter rout. Will they imi-
tate the courage of the President and
utterly defeat the enemy?

OrionuO SeuIinei.
A number of prominent gentlemen of
Orange County assembled in the court
house of this city yesterday, for the pur-
pose of discussing the culture of tobacco
in South Florida. Judge G.. G. Butt,
who is taking great interest in this impor-
tant industry, was chosen chairman and
Mr.. G. III. Wyllarde secretary. Judge
c. q. Butt strongly advocated trial of
this and felt certain success would fol-
low. MIR. III. s. Kedney, who produced
very fine tobacco in Middle Florida last
season, gave his experience and felt con-
fident tobacco could be successfully pro-
duced in tins section of the State. Mr..
w. IL. Holden gave his experience like
wise and from what he says there can
be no doubt as to South Florida not be-
ing the finest tobacco growing country
in the United States. Mr.. Perez an ex-
perienced Cuban tobacco raiser, also adj
dressed the meeting, exhibited samples
of cigars made of Florida tobacco and
claimed they were equal to those made
in Havana Judge Bryson and w. E.
Lester also made encouraging remarks
upon this subject. The meeting deter
mined upon organizing a stock company
with go, 900 capital, 800 per share, 25
per cent to be paid in, for the purpose Of
paying the expenses incurred in making
first experiments. III. s. Kedney, w. E.
Lester, l.. c. Vaughan and Nj. &. Rerdell
were appointed a committee to prepare
a pamphlet, giving full instructions on
tobacco culture. The meeting adjourned
subject to call of the company. Sew
eral shares We're subscribed for by those
present.

THE BLAIR BILL AGAIN.

The surplus in the national treasury
will again receive the attention of buy
ers and many Northern papers again
view with agonized apprehension the
prospect of paying large sums to tine
Southern States in aid of our public
schools. The better informed and more
influential public men and journals of
the South have continually urged that
the Federal Governm emit could not give
and the States could not receive such
sums under the Constitution-tha when
the need and the justice had been con-
ceded, still the law stood always between
the pupil and the appropriation Yet to
the Northern mind it seemed impossible
that principle could stay the hand of
need when opportunity proved propi-
tious, and so we have long array of
statistical information and elaborate
logic to shut the door against 1.-THE mem
dicants."
journals has been the Erening Post and
now our kind contemporary of New
York again hands us a pamphlet made
up Of its articles published in 1886 and
1887 containing facts and figures show
ing that the South does not need Federal
aid for her schools and long arguments
designed to bury forever the bill to
promote merdicancy."
Let it be understood that the bill was
introduced to relieve a surfeit entailed
on the body polite by the Republicans
that it was introduced by Northern
man-that such aims have not been
begged by us; therefore if it be finally
forced upon us we shall not be .'mendi-
cants' should we receive it.
For years we have read nothing but
reports Of the misery and utter destitution
of the negro in the South-all his suffer-
ing, when proved, was laid at the door
Of malignant persecution" and no evil
dence of his prosperity, usefulness or our
appreciation of his services and condi-
ton could be received as evidence in the
High Court Of Last Appeal, which was
always in session at the waving of the
Bloody Shirt. Is it not strange that sud
denly the negro is pictured in paradise,
where he flourisheth exceedingly and
would even be green as bay tree but
that the element of wickedness is want
ing to enliven his composition? Is it not
strange that desire to save money, not
an array of facts, should produce a
change so startling?
Let our contemporaries possess their
souls in peace. The South believes that
Congress has no authority under the Con-
stitution to collect taxes for the benefit
Of her schools-that when the money has
been collected Congress has no right to
give us such sums for school purposes
that even if the money be offered, to re-
ceive it would be wrong in us as in Esau
to sell a birthright for mess of pottage.
Since the South believes this and Con-
gress is democratic and Grover Cieve-
land Is President there need be no alarm
the Greeks need not bring us their
gifts, however kind their intentions or
fond their brotherly love.

ANSWERS FOR THE ANXIOUS.
Inquiries and letters like the follow

Inquiries and letters like the follow
ing are pouring in upon us:
Mr. NEwS-I have just seen that tax
deed. 1t covers one-fourrh of my home
stead. How can fird when it was sold
and iii whose manner / have tax
receipts for the whole homestead ever
since got my patent. 1t looks like some
assessor has made blunder. Was it
in carpet bag rule or since the reformers
have done the assessing? Yours respect
fully, H. +. FLANDERS, Nashua, Fla.
At heavy expense we published nearly
year ago a detailed description of lands
in Putnam County sold for taxes and
warned our citizens to have a care for
their property. Many We're thus enabled
TO correct errors in the books and for
FIXTURES to the State We're largely re-
duced by the production of receipts,
redemptions or corrections. With this
good accomplished we rested for a sea-
son.
But now, more than 5000 acres of
land have been bought at tax sale by
John A. Graham, by him decided to
Graham & Hubbell, of Savannah. on
January 10Th, 1886. The deed was filed
by VIM. F. Forward, on April 18th, 1887,
and recorded by VIM C. Hargrove ON
August 18th. 1887, in Book 43, of Con-
veyances, pages 67s, 619 and $50. A
certified copy of this deed was published
by us December 18th, 1887. This infor-
nation should enable all anxious souls
to make whatever investigation shall
seem good unto them and more we shall
not say at present.
But this matter with others will be
treated IN proper course-evidence will
be adduced and facts to support all our
assertions and we only allude to the
matter now that individual rights NAV
be protected from possible danger and
the record books be corrected by popular
investigation. All information desired
may be obtained from the Clerk at the
Court House.
Many lots are included in quarter sec
tons in the Graham deed which NAV be |
misunderstood and therefore escape de- |
lection. You are not safe simply be- |
cause you do not find the numbers as |
they stood In your deed.
We are making up a list of cases
where reputable citizens claim that sales |
We're unJustly or fraudulently made and |
the whole will be fully ventilated az the |
proper time.

NOW BRIDGE THE ST. JOHNS,

The understanding which has been
brought about by a conference of the
managers of the st. Augustine and Pa
latka road and the st. Johns and Halifax
road is most fortunate thing for this
part of Florida. Both roads will run to
a common terminus at Harris Point,
making but one ferry necessary and that
crossing at the narrowest part of the st.
Johns opposite Palatka. A ferry ride Of
few minutes will carry the passenger
from Palatka to the common depot of
the two roads. Freights landed at
Palatka for st. Augustine, Or
mond, Daytona or Port Orange
or intermediate points, can be
carried over with the least possible loss
of time. But one thing remains to be
done. Let Palatka wed the two roads
by a wooden ink--a bridge.
We do not advocate that Palatka shall
build a bridge for them, far from it, But
Palat ka, alive to her true interests, will
see in this movement a step forward in
the direction of making this an important
point for new railroads reaching into
Florida The plainest arithmetic will
show that this move will bring
Palatka several miles nearer in point
of time to st. Augustine and Day
tona- The work, we are assured,
will begin at once of building
the necessary connecting tracks. One
common ferry will soon connect us
with both roads. All that is needed is
a bridge, then no new railroad and none
of those now established, for that matter,
can afford to slight us. A bridge across
the st. Johns to Harris Point and an in
dependent line to the States north of N
at once are made the necessities of the
hour and it will be worth the utmost eff
forts of our citizens to secure both.

Mr.. Blaine's many friends, and their
name is legion, have lately taken to fe-
licitating themselves upon the certainty
of their favorite's election to the Presi-
dency this year. Singularly enough
one of the announced reasons for this
belief is the recently discovered fact
that years with three Fights in them
are lucky Republican years"
1t is not pleasant to go through life
dispelling the sweet illusions Of hope,
but from what source Is this particular
one drawn? When, indeed, did the Re
publicans elect a candidate in any other
year with three Fights" in it: Ger
tainly not in $50. nor in SSS b. c., nor in
any other year answering to this de-
scription prior to or since that time.
No: the three eight theory won't do
Ii halts when it should run like wild
fire. And meanwhile the three RS are
still ON hand, with Burchard enjoying
most excellent health.

Many counties in Florida have appro-
priated various sums for the benefit of
the Sub-Tropical Exposition. THE PA
LArKA NEWS has uniformly from the
first expressed the opinion that such
expenditure would be illegal and urged
its view upon the committee appointed
by the Putnam Board of Commissioners
to receive the money. 1t is true the
appropriation of s., 500 was made-it is
also true that on yesterday the Board re-
scinded the order and no money for this
purpose will be taken from the treas

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1888-01-13

Some affect to believe that nervous sub
jscts feigp their ailments for the purpose Of
attracting attention and sympathy. 1t is
quite true they frequently exaggerate their
gufferings but that is no excuse for denying
their existence. Besides, 1t Is natural to ex-
aggsrate a grievance 80 long as 1t remains
unrecognized Others admit the reality Of
the diseased sensations, but maintain that
the only way to abolish them is by means Of
reason. They hold that nervous persons
ought TO be taught TO control their nerves by
their reason, and they insist that ''plain
speaking" Is the strongest aid to recovery.
Their experience seems to corroborate this
opinion. The sufferers cease TO complain to
them, so they fancy that their "plain speak
ing" has effected cure. This fancy is, how
ever, very far from the fact, which is that
the patients have transferred their COM
plants to a more sympathetic ear.-Nine-
teenth Century.

Mummies Dirt Cheap.

DIR. J. A. 8. Grant Bey, of Cairo, Egypt,
has spent twenty five years in the land of the
Pharaohs and speaks all the languages OF
that polyglot scountry. In order to instruct
the native doctors, two years ago he started
an Arabic medical paper, which has met
with success For years he has devoted his
time to the study Of archaeology, and has
amassed enough Egyptian gods, from Horus
and Osiris down, TO nearly I'LL the Metropol-
itan Museum of Art. The m,fnmies Of
Egypt, he said, were now dirt cheap, owing
to recent discoveries They sold from $40
to $40 each, the price depending chiefly on
their state Of preservation. He brought
over mummified hawk as curiosity and
presented IL TO the Smithsonian Institution
Scientists, who formerly paid high prices for
fine, first class mummies, Of late years, the
doctor said, purchased very few. Tho cheap
mummies were bought principally by the
