CURRENT COMMENT.


farmer vote-senate bill No. 1860,
introduced July %, l89O-is printed
in full, in parallel with an editorial
from the Times Union Of July 26,
1891, in the Florida Standard of
Tueday Of this week. 1t is far less
practical than the sub-treasury bill :,
though built after the same pattern.
Commenting upon that bill the STAN
dard says:
What must be thought then of Mr..
Call who, in the last congress, intro
duced bill making the same provis-
ions for warehouses, etc., but allowed
two dollars for every one dollar de-
posted !! Here is man posing as
the antagonist of the national bank
ing system who proposes to saddle
the country with a wild cat system
impractical, visionary, dishonest !
This is the bill Of which Mr.. Call
spoke at Arcadia when be promised
to give the farmers ''something bet
ter than the sub treasury scheme"
Here is also bit from the Pensa-
cola News on the same subject:
Call to the Farmers Alliance-see
senate bill 1850, first session, 5lst
congress: Here's the place to get
your money back, alliancemen. In
this lottery you draw no blanks. You
put down one dollars worth Of pro-
duce and draw out two dollars in
cash every time. You are fools to
ask for anything else. The game is
good one. You can stick to it as
long as the other people of the coun-
try will stand it, and, by the time
you've got the pickings, and all the
other people come into the alliance
to get some of the pie, why you can
just quietly drop out with the Doodle
and let the other fellows whistle
Come, now, gentlemen; see that !
get back to the senate, and yon get
two dollars for one. I'm your friend
and you should not ask for only a
dollar for dollar or a dollar and a
half for dollar; but for two dollars
tor dollar, when I can get that for
you without any trouble, whatever
Sidetrack your old warehouse scheme
send me back to Washington, 20
home and grow rich. Let the hired
men do all the work while you lay
back and read your dividends in the
Congressional Resord. Put me down
AS your friend every time.

New YORK SUN,
July 20.

GAINESVILLE, F la. .,
July 3D. is now two
months since the Florida
Legislature reelected Will
kinson Cal to the United
States senate, as hls
friends maintain, and
still no certificate OF cleo
ton has been issued to
him by Governor Elem
ing. This is an unpre-
denied course for the gov
ernor to pursue. Calls
friends are absolutely con.
fident that his reel ctiOn
was constitutional and le-
gal, and they are rather
gratified to zee the COVER
nor place himself in what
they predict will be q
most humiliating posi-
ton in the end.
Meanwhile there is q
quiet canvass going on to
secure the appointment
TO the va ancy IN the
United States senate
which the antiCal men
declare exiets. There is
not the slightest doubt
but that Governor Elem
ing will make an appoint:
ment of this kind, and
that thi man will present
himself with his certifi
cate at the bar Of the sen
ate next December, at the
same time that Call ap'
pears there with his Gre
dentials, signed by the
officers OF the joint SEES
sion Of the two houses Of
the Legislature, VIII CHI vo
ted for Call ON May rs.
Nor il there any doubt
that Fleming has already
offered the appointment
TO at least half q doZeI
prominent democrats in
| Florida, in each instance
mt et.ng with q refusal &c
accept. II the offer has
not been formally made
| the governor has sounded
the friends Of these dem.
| ocrats to ascertain theil
views in the matter.
Among them are Chief
Justice Kaney. E. NJ,
Hammond and ex-GOver'
nor BlOxham, each OIL
wno7n has refused TO en-
terrain any proposition o
the kind.
Only one course ii
therefore open TO thu

why BOY. Arc r1l.ehisvou..

A boy can not invent anything-he
can only imitstei and it is easier to imi-
tate evil than good You can initiate
war, but how are you going to initiate
peace9 So a boy passes his leisure in
oontriving mischief If you get another
fellow to walk into wasps camp you
can see him jump and hear him howl,
but if you do not, then nothing at all
happens. If you set dog to chase a cat
up tree, then something has been done;
but if you do not set the dog on the cat,
then the cat just lies in tho sun and
sleeps, and you lose your time. If a
boy could find out some way Of doing
good, so that he could be active in it.
very likely he would want to do good
now and them but as he can not he very
seldom wants 10 do good, -lWilliam

FnmIIIes in HeIiroInnd.

The women IN Heligoland are, gener-
ally speaking, small and gracefully
formed and present a remarkable con-
trast to their tall and strapping mates
The female loveliness is unfortunately
somewhat transient, no doubt owing in
large measure to the inferior fare aud
rough work with the nets. No idea OF
female suffrage is ever likely to enter
a Hellgolander's head. His idea OF the
relation of the sexes is the old one that
the man is the head Of the wife and that
women, take them as you like, are an
inferior orderi they are kind and courte-
GUS to their women in all respects, but
there is no doubt who is lord and bread
winner The patTiarchal system has
scarcely died out
Each lusty, broad shouldered on,
though he may have passed his 21st
birthday, is required to give all OF
nearly all his earnings to his father so
long as he lives in his fathers house.
When he marries and takes up house for
himself then only does the patria pro-
testas come to an end. Heligolanders
as a rule marry youngi there are more
women than men, and it IS not difficult
to find mate Housekeeping is not an
expensive job, and there is plenty OF
money to be earned il man is intelli-
gent and industrious Il may be some
time before the young husband has n
boat OF his own, for a boat costs Si25
(they are all built on the island), but he
can always hire one, paying for its hire
about 50 per cent Of the payment he
himself charges

A FRENoHmAN,s ouEER IDnA.
He Proposes to Drop People Safely From
the EffreI Tower

He Proposes to Drop People Safely From
the EifreI Tower
French inventor, having in mind
people who doto upon the particular
sensation that one feels on a high swing,
on the edge of steep declivities or in any
place where there is q rapid descent,
proposes to give to the public the feel
ing of vertical fall of several hundred
meters into space. To him jump from
the top of the highest steeple is mere
bagatelle; it requires the height Of the
Eiffel Tower to satisfy his ambition. 1t
is in one word a question Of letting
amateurs fall distance of 800 meters
and giving them back safe to their fami-
lies, At the end of 140 meters Of fall
the rate Of descent Of this new species
of tourist will be 45 meters a second; at
the end Of 200 meters il will be 05 meters
per secondi at the end of 800 meters it
will be n meters per second. The most
rapid railroad trains make about 80
meters per second. Never, then, has
the human race experienced so high
speed as that proposed
1t is always easy enough to fall 300
meters, but ii is not so easy to pick ones
self up safe and sound. This Is tho
scheme of the inventor He builds
cage similar in shape to shell for a
cannon. In the body of the shell is a
large space, having diameter OF three
meters and height Of four meters,
with room to hold 10 persons comforta-
bly, seated in arm chairs- The floor is a
mattress having springs 80 centimeters
high. Beneath, and forming the point
of the shell, is series of cones inclosed
one within another. The total height of
the cage is 10 meters; its weight four
tons From the top of tower one can
let this gigantic shell fall with its load
without injury to any of the occupants.
Where it strikes the inventor has
followed out large basin filled with
water, shaped like the bowl of a cham
pagne glass. The shell is received in
this soft cushion and displaces about 80
tons of water The shock that the
voyagers would otherwise feel is by this
means entirely deadeued. The buoy
ancy of the shell causes it to rise to the
surface and the bold experimenters can
then get out The shell is then to be
lifted up by an elevator to the topof the
tower, where everything is ready to be-
gin again. The price for this venture
some journey is already fixed at 20R
person. This might be recommended
as a new idea to the directors of the
Chicago exposition. -[New York Times

Sir Edwin ArnoI as House I'm Tol,io.

Sir Edwin ArnoIdis House I'm Toxic.
If name my garden at Azabu among
the scenes ever to be remembered in
Japan, it is because it was typical of
city residence there, as well as being
really pretty spot, and full of things
Japenese. " Provided with an outer as
well as an inner range of sliding shoji,
we could make it warm In the winter as
well as cool in the summer, although
the outer plass (amado) would certainly
rattle n great deal in a stormy wind or
an earthquake, this latter phenomenon
occurring pretty frequently. A Japan
ese house is really healthy as well as
comfortable. Being built not in the soil,
as with us, but above it, freely venti-
lated by the airiness inseparable from
its construction, and being entered only
with bare or stockinged feet it is always
sweetapd clean. The tatami, the mats,
of such an abode remain so free from
dust or dirt that the delicate silks or
muslins of their kimonos are laid upon
the floor by Japanese ladies without the
least fear of soiling them Cheap to
build, beautiful in appearance, spot1essly
pure, and, with proper arrangements,
eminently salubrious, the Japanese
domicile seems to me entirely admirable,
and in almost all its good qualities rich
and poor share alike, The palace of the
emperor and the hut of the Kurum.
