The De Funiak Daily Critic, "a
column paper, industriously edited by
Mr.. H. X. Coleson, and well managed by
Mr. Will G. Shugart, proprietor, furnishes
a thorough and interesting chronicle of
the exercises of the Chautsuqua Assem-
bly,, which began its session last Thurs
day, and is already attended by . numer-
GUS gathering of people from far and near,
including many persons of distinction in
literature, science and art. The hand
somely built town is brilliantly illumina-
ted at night, the strains of choice music
fill the air in the intervals of other enter
tainments, or instructive exercises, and all
is vivid life and gaiety.
From the Assembly Notes of the
Critic we take the following mention of a
"Tallahassee boy" who was among the
speakers on the platform of the tabernacle
Friday night:
Professor Felkel in a short address set forth
the principles OF the best methods of education
He was 10 favor of the Chautauqua idea, because
it did not permit laying aside the text book be-
cause 1t brought the prominent men of the times
before the student as a living example, and be.
cause 1t was religious educator Il might build
work in raising man to higher plane of useful.

In the Pslatka Neus of the 18th We
find the following report of the yacht
race of the 10th, and it will be seen that
the Cheemaun," owned by Capt. w.
L. Dayids, of Tallahassee, was victorious
There was whole sail breeze from the north
northeast. The CheemAun went over Ill line
first, at 1108:21, followed by the Arthur B. Mt
10000, and the Katie B. At 1l09:21 They
rounded beacon Sc as follows: Cheemaun 11:l4
06 Arthur B. 11:1528; Katie B. 11:15:42 The
Katie B. lowered her peak in passing, TO avoid
capsize 1t was supposed. She went through the
same maneuver In passing No 2 aflerward
The yachts passed flag No. 2 in the following
order: Cheemaun, l206:45; Arthur B. 1917
%; Katie B. 12:l0:55 The Cheemsuu aud
Arthur B. then set their gaff topsails and came
up with the wind nearly abeam.
Beacon So was passed again by the Chcemaun
at 12:41:20 the Arthur B. turning the beacon
at IL; 1856; the Katie B. At 1860 No q was
rounded at 121:1S, 1858 and 1:4l:3i, respec:.
lively.
Then came the race home with the Checmauu
moving Or ,cefuly and swiftly through the
water, tn the admiration or all beholders, her
great stretch OF canvass drawing every stitch Of
it. She finished at 1:49:15 the Arthur B. at
2:17:25. The Katie b. was far behind. Her
time was not taken.
The Cheemaun beats the Arthur B. II min
utes and 30 seconds She was entered al twenty

In 1884 the Marquette District of Michigan
gave Mr. Blaine more than 5000 plurality over
Mr.. Cleveland. In 1885, afler year and half
of the Cleveland ADMINISTRATION, while the District
still remained Republican. tho Republican mu-
jority was cut down to 1924. In the special
election just held TO 6ll the Congressional seat
vacant by the death OF Mr.. Moffatt, the Republi-
can member, the Republicans claimed on
Wednesday less than one hundred majority, the
more distant counties remaining then to be heard
from, and yesterday fuller reports elect Mr. Breen
the Democratic candidate, by from fifty 10 sew.
euty-lve votes
That is the first gun for Mr. Cleveland's tariff
message, and this from mining district In which
the Republicans believed themselves particularly
strong.
In the three principal counties of the district
where the ofhcal count has been declared the
loss OF the Republicans Is particularly noticea-
BILE. Marquette gave Mr.. Blaine in 1884 2,762
plurality; on Tuesday this was cut down to
81.
Menominee county gave Mr.. Blaine 1878 ma
jority in 1884 this is cut down at the election
Just past 10 $50.
Houghton county gave Mr.. Blaine in 1884
$50 majority; this time the Democrats carry 1t
by 100 majority.
The vote is close, and It may turn out that the
democratic candidate Is defeated by some small
vote. But even that is great and promising
victory. To cut down a majority Of 5000 to al
most nothing is an undoubted success.
The canvass was made squarely on the mes
sage, and we congratulate Mr. Cleveland on this
the nrst peal OF the popular thunder for that
righteous and honest appeal for tax REFORM

The Senate Committee Make q
Start.

AS to trusts and combines the Senate
Committee, as reported elsewhere, began
their work yesterday by the vivisection
of Mr.. Havemeyer.
The witness had the friendly assistance
of two eminent lawyers, who watched
him as anxiously as a nurse would sick
child, kindly allowing him to answer
when no danger was apparent and closing
his lips peremtorily when there were
breakers ahead.
Still Col. Bliss managed to get the
door open a few inches and gave us a
glimpse of how combine is formed and
for what purpose. Information is hard
to get, and has to be pulled with cork
screw. Mr.. Havemeyer was conscious of
walking across bog, and afraid at every
step that he might slump in up to his
neck by talking too freely.
The first days examination shows, if
nothing more, that the gentlemen who
are interested in trusts feel that safety
and retlcence are closely related. Trusts
are a matter of addition, division and
silence, and the dear public is to be al
lowed to pay an extra cent pound for
sugar, but not to inquire too closely into
the methods by which it is added to the
legitimate market price. In other words,
the public may feel the hand of the re-
finer in its pocket, but mustn't ask what
it is there for.
We shall see about that The public
is good deal like Texas broncho. 1t
doesn't like to be saddled and bridled.
and is inclined to buck when it ia NAL
treated. 1t happens to be in bucking
mood at the present time.-M Y

Hamilton Disston and Colonel Scott
will be here next Monday to make fnal ar
rangements for the building of railroad
from here to Runnymede and from thence
down the Kissimmee valley on the east
side of the river. This road will be q
most important one to Kissimmee, as it
will penetrate one of the most fertile sec.
tons in the State, which will insure its
rapid settlement and make Kissimmee its
supply point There is no use shutting
our eyes to the fact that the interests GEN.
tered at Runnymede, Narcoossee and also
the productive lands around East Lake,
and from there away to the south, are de-
termined on having railroad outlet.
The only question il where will such out
let seek connection with existing roads.
Will it be by way of Lake Hastnorthesst
to Titusville, north to Orlando or west to
Kissimmeef To this place il the natural
route and it can be constructed 1t . very
much less expense than to any other
point; and the citizens of this section
should use Whatever influence they pos
sess toward bringing 1t here. While it is
true that We have no capitalists to lend it
their aid, etill we can all add our mite, and
it is. often the case that the interest and
encouragement of . community has an
equal If not greater effect than the Hnan.
