young people, both boys and girls,
are very apt to get the idea that on
moral questions they are being hood

to stuff them up with moral notions
that are not based on facts, and their
skepticism is apt TO lead them into ex-
periments on their own account So

FREQ Traders Debating to tn
Democratic Party.

OomOCTdtIC FdTIys
WE HAVE the authority of the
New York Sun for the statement
that some Of the leading Free-Trade
spirits in the Democratic party are
threatening that if their views on
the Tariff are not adopted they and
their followers will secede and form
new party that will stand on a
platform which will reflect the
views in Mr.. Cleveland's famous
Free-Trade message. This threat
is expected to have the effect of
whipping into the Free-Trade traces
Democrats who may hesitate about
going to the lengths that the Free
Traders want them to 60.
Indeed, the Free-Trade element
in the Democratic party make no
disguise of their intention to carry
out the policy of "rule or ruin"
They declare that Mr.. Cleveland
during his Administration gave the
party programme in regard to
Free Trade that it must adhere to.
The Free-Trade press do not mince
matters. 1t tells the rank and file
of the Democratic party that they
must not entertain the thought of
receding from the Free-Trade posi-
ton into which they were forced by
Mr.. Cleveland's Message.

For We Women.
We buried a little baby to-day
A babe only ten months old;
But what else beside we buried away,
The half can never be told
Twas only tiny mound that was made,
Down there by the church yard wall
Beneath it wee white coffin was laid,
Ah, if this alone had been all
A mothers dreams of bright years to come
Dreams Deer to be realized,
The JOY, the light the life of her home
Her treasure most highly priced
All these were laid in that casket day
Along with her baby boy;
And with heart all broken she came away
We buried q mothers joy.
proud mans dearest hopes ere laid there
In that casket of his son,
And we turned aside with tear prayer
AS we looked ON the anguished one.
In fancy he'd painted bis manly boy,
High up on the ladder of fame
he had watched him climb with eager ioy
And ne'er dreamed that death might claim.
AS we closed forever the coffin lid
Ger the little waXen form,
And under the clods of earth it was hid
Away from life's every storm,
We looked at the tiny heap that it made
Where the meadow grasses wave,
And marveled great that SO much could be laid,
In little baby's grave.

The Topics Of the Day

-Arbor Day-St. Valentines Day and the
Epistes Being Prepared-A Floral Fair-If !
We're B0y
We all know that the columns of the Flo
RIDIAN will now be crowded with the doings of
the extra session of the Legislature, and, as
every citizen is deeply int crested in the matter
for which they have been called together, | feel
that women should not demand so much
space for Home Circle" therefore | will only
touch briefly on few topics of general interest
in this letter
l hope the readers Of this department will
take an active interest in Arbor Day, and do al
they car to make it an interesting and profitable
day in Florida. l favor the planting of fruit
trees, but it will be well to plant many varieties,
and shade trees should not be overlo oked. Re
member that Thursday will be Arbor Day;
have everything in readiness before hand, and
the occasion will be splendid success
ST. Valentines Day will also demand share
OF our attention next Thursday, and VIII be
receiving and sending sweet, sentimental effu-
sions coarse, flaming colored comicalitles
through the mails. l have seen some beauties,
for young men OF Tallahassee, and l have also
seen some that are entirely too rough and per
sonal in the verse which runs below the highly
coored and not at all refined picture A little
innocent fun is all right, but don't think anyone
should take advantage of St. Valentines Day TO
insult those they do not like.
1t has been suggested that the ladies OF Taa
hassee hold Floral Fair in April, during the
regular session Of the Legislature, the proceeds
to be used for charitable purposes. l do not
think that any one has begun to move in the
matter yet, but they ought to. There would be
considerable pleasure in a floral fair, and hope
the ladies will get it up. We should also make
good floral exhibits at both the Ocala and Jack
sonville Expositiops. BESSIE
