found last week Is Of smaller individual. but
was yet huge beast
This discovery places this little river among
the most famous in the world Tor Ito fossil re-
mains. Three mastodon skeletons! and some
stray bones that are pretty sure proof Of Jsse0
one, all In locality less than one mile In length
of the stream Besides these there arc mingled
among these msstodon bones innumerable 9TH
ers, of more than q dozen species Of large size
There has not yet been time to classify these
bones, but sufficient is known to place our State
now among the most notable Of all the localities
for archaeological interest in America. In
deed, if we except the Bod L0nds " In Dscota,
Florida is the chief. and the Ichetucknee fairly
claims the precedence Of all localities yet found

interesting particular Of this nd 10 that the first

National Editorial Journalist

At the meeting of the. National Editorial Asso-
citation in Denver, Col, il was determined, by
unanimous vote, that the publication OF a
journal devoted 10 the interests OF editors and
publishers and editorial organizations, should be
established.
The National Editorial Association is COM
posed Of delegates from the State associations
and in order that all associations may be repre-
sented and perfect interchange of news, as we'll
AS views, obtained, it was decided to arrange for
an associate editor in each editorial organization
Mai. Geo. r. Fairbanks, President of the Flor
ida Press Association, has named Mr.. Charles H.
Pratt, to be associate editor of the Journalist
for the State Of Florida This paper will 60 to
5000 leading journalists and ii seems to us that
Florida could proiahly advertise in its columns
The associate editors transmit to the paper all
items Of interest with regard to the respective
associations in their several States give &C
counts of association meetings, with important
papers and items Of general interest to journal
lists.
Besides the laboring tor the advancement and
improvement of all editorial organizations and
brotherhoods, and the discussion of the different
departments of the newspaper, II is proposed 10
maintain three subordinate departments:
1st. Newspaper Opinion, in which will be
given, from month to month, in the most con-
densed form possible, the opinions of the press
on leading questions of public interest, that will
be helpful or suggestive in editorial work
I'd. A RcpOrtOrial Department in which re-
porters of papers will be heard from, and easy
editorial chat, incident, humor and good cheer
will be INDUCED

Dr. ]. Harris, who has 20 ably conducted
the Sanford Journal, has severed his connection
with that paper and retired from journalism.
We regret this exceedingly, for few men In the
State have acquitted themselves more creditably

has ever been welded In the cause Of justice and
right, and right manfnlly has he defended the
right and opposed the wrong. No man ofcharac-

Mr. William e. Chandler's bill ofYsref, in

Mr.. William E. Chambers bill, offered in the
Senate, to operate upon Southern elections for

President Cleveland's appeal for surplus abo-
lition through tax reduction has, indeed,
swept the cOentry like q whirlwind. Even
in Philadelphia, response to the Presidents
call is held the first duty OF the

take place early in January, aud similar gather
ings are to be held in other business centers. In

is universal, and it only remains to consider in
what way expression 10 it can most effectualy

Manifestly the Same.

Randalitcs who profess a fear that the Demo-
Gratis will lose the State of New York if they re-
wise the tariff in accordance with the Presidents
suggestions in his message, are remin led of the
fact that the platform of the Democratic party OF
that State, upon which they won their victory in
November, was in substantial accord with the
Presidents recommendations, and the Demo-
cratic press and speakers manfnlly sustained the
platform in the canvass. The result was that the
Democratic plurality of 100 in 1884 was in
creased TO II 600 last month-Ahant1 Journal

Another" War Cloud. ''

There is war cloud" 10 Europe again. AS
these clouds will gather, and not one in dozen
of them bursts into the storm of war; their causes
demand investigation and explanation. 1t is not
unreasonable to presume that there is one aud
the same cause for the most of them, and this is
the want of money-the governments want
money. They live beyond their means, and
when financial difficulties begin to press them,
and the people begin to murmur against taxa
ton for the support of regal state and the stand
ing armies, their rulers conjure up " war
cloud" with its threatening dangers 10 the peo-
pies homes and interests, and their patriotism is
appealed TO, and they cheerfuy pay taxes and
assent to the raising of morey by loans When
the treasures of the governments involved are
replenished, the terrible war cloud" disappears
and it is announced that the trouble was
adjusted by diplomacy, which averted
dreadful war, saved the dear people from name
less horrors and earned their everlasting gratitude
to the falheTly governments that protected them
at only the cost of their money, not their blood
also. II this explanation is not satisfactory to
readers we hope they will watch the present
and also next years war cloud, and the annual
war clouds thereafter, and find better. II they
find none, they will at least understand that there
are great many more black clouds than there
are storms, and will not be likely TO be as badly
fooled as the Times Union was over year ago
when it announced at the top of its editorial col
umns, Europe is not merely drifting but fairly
whirling into war" At the same time the Jack
sonville seer said so the FLoRIDIAN said there
was no danger of war, and there was not and
there was no war As to the present cloud We
have not yet measured the size of the cGsus Jei
is supposed TO contain, and prefer not to proph
esy at present-but we dare the Times Union t
try its luck again. It's behind in European wa
cloud business, and must catch up or stay behind
