cheating, the biggest rascal gets Oft the
lightest.
6. The demand for Government su-
pervision ofrailroads is ajust one. They
enjoy great privileges and owe proper
service to the public. The value of all
the railroads in the Union is put at
about So, ,0CJ, 900, 900 this year. The CEN
sus of 1850 gave the value Of all in the
Union at $4,000, 0O0,GC0. Their pres
ent value I have not seen stated. 1t
can be seen, however, that to purchase
the roads, therefore, would require al
most the full farm values of the coun-
try. Ats per cent the interest on this
purchase would be 100000. Would
the railroads after paying all costs Of
management, return this? How many
railroads pay dividends to-day? Would
they bring more money to the Govern
ment than to the stockholders, when
the object of owning them is to make
rates cheaper? Would the Government
appoint managers for business or po-
litical reasons and change them with
every election? Would the South Caro-
lima Republican leaders manage our
roads better than 1nman, McBee or
Andrews? Which of these would Har-
rison appoint.
7. Why should United States Sena-
tors be elected directly by the people?
To prevent bribery and corruption, OF
course. Will this evil be prevented by
throwing the election into the hands
of the people? In what way? When
Stanford or Jones or Stewart wants
seat in the Senate, it matters little to
him whether he buys enough votes at
the polls to elect him directly or enough
to elect legislators who will elect him
indirectly. Ifa voter will send bribe-
taker to the Legislature, what will pre-
vent him from sending bribe glver to
the United States Senate? The elec-
tion of Harrison, it is claimed, came
through purchase Of voters at the
polls, not of Presidential electors. Stan
ford must now control the whole State
of California. It would be easier and
cheaper for him to be able to conflne
bis efforts to bis own election alone.
Is it not easier to corrupt State nomi-
mating convention, whose members as
semble for day and then dissolve,
than to corrupt Legislature? Where
public opinion sanctions corruption
does it matter in what form the elec-
ton comes?
If any one examines the Constitution
and the debates of the Constitutional
Convention he will see that the pro-
vision regarding Senators is funda-
mental feature Of our Government.
The Senate represents the State in its
corporate capacity, the House repre-
sents the people. The State elects
through it's Legislature, the people
choose their representatives directly.
The seventh demand of the Ocala plat
form would wipe out this recognition
of State rights. Is it worth while to
make this change when there is no GER
Unity of attainining the desired end,
which is to secure purer form of elect
ing Senators?
LetsDsnotsbe understood as oppos-
ing All measures to which I have
shown objecti5Sas But since there are
so many orators eng, ensasea ii portraylng
the brightest featuress of the Ocala plat
form, it is we'll for some one to call at
tention to some of itss possible defects

A tall man, somewhat rumpled, but
looking as if he had lot of native pride
and dignity, stepped into a downtown
saloon, and in stately way said to the
bartender:
"a glass of imported beer, sir.''

the tall man.
"Reg'lar double decllers," was the as
suring reply of the beer-drawer.
The tall man returned to the counter
and told the bartender he guessed he'd
take glass, but he was afraid it would
go against him. The beer was drawn
out and the man walked to the end of the
bar where the lunch was
''Stars aliver' he exclaimed Crack
ers and red herring! Is that all you serve
for lunch?''

The dignified man looked disguised,

of crackers. He ordered his beer car

down by it.

EXCITEMENT IN CHINATOWN.
Another CoId-BIooded Attempt at
Assassination.
Fong All Dep Shot by One of His
Countrymen-Arrest of the
Supposed Shooter.

Chinatown had new excitement last
night, but it was of the old, old kind,
namely-a cold -blooded attempt at assas-
sination. About quarter before O'Clock
Fong All Dep, who is said to be an indus
trious laborer, was walking along 1 street,
between Third and Fourth, when another
Chinaman confronted him, and without a
word OF warning, SO far as can be learned,
shot him.
There was hullabaloo at once, and in
the excitement the shooter escaped.
Cinnamon were running in all directions,
and it was impossible for the white men
who first arrived to tell who was trying
to get away and who was pursuing the
would-be assassin.
Captain Lee was soon on the ground,
with several officers, and they were de-
tailed to scour the vicinity in the attempt
to arrest the guilty party.
Two Cinnamon were seen by James A.
senate and Special Officer Goods to run
up j street, and Officers Wilson and
Alger, learning of this fact, ran in that
direction. They overlook one Chinaman
at Seventh street. and brought him 10 the
police station, where he gave the name of
Ong Hong. He had no weapon on his
person, however.
Another Chinaman was reported to
have emerged on the alley, and run
through place kept by some Japanese.
The latter said he was covered with dirt
and mud, and was greatly excited.
In the meantime Captain Lee had the
wounded man taken to the Receiving
Hospital, and summoned City Physician
Nichols, who found that the bullet. a
thirty-two-c -caliber, had penetrated the
left thigh, struck the bone and was i'm
bedded behind it, whence it was with
some difficulty extracted.
After the wound had been dressed, and
the sufferer made as comfortable as possi-
bic, Ong Hong, the prisoner, was brought
before him, and he declared that the
prisoner was the man who shot him.
Several other Cinnamon also said he was
the one.
a boy who claimed to have been near
by when the shooting took place stated
that three men approa ched Fong All Dep,
and that one OF them odd another TO
shoot the latter.
One of the wounded mans friends says
he thinks the shooter made mistake and
shot the wrong man. Both the wounded
man and the prisoner are said to belong
to the Hop Wo Company, in which case
it will be difficult to get at the facts.
Hundreds OF Cinnamon turned out
with candles and lanterns to explore the
mysterious subterranean passages of
Chinatown in an apparent effort to cap
ture the Would-be assassin, and the scene
was both exciting and weird.
The wounded man will probably re-
cover.

A Residence for Our Governors.

EDS. RECORD-UNION: Now that the
subject of Governors residence has at
tracted and is attracting the attention of
some Of our prominent residents, and has
also drawn out an able editorial in your
esteemed paper, l would beg leave to
offer this suggestion III addition to the
one made by Mr.. SteffenS. l do this not
only for the benefit Of my locality, but
for the benefit and to enhance the sur
roundings Of our Art Gallery that we APP
preeiate, value and enjoy so much.
1t is that, inasmuch as our esteemed
friend, Mrs. E. B. Croker, has offered
for sale her elegant residence at Third and
. StreetS-and | believe it could be pur-
chased at a reasonable figure-why
would not this make most desirable,
elegant, healthy and convenient residence
for the Governor, as well as enhance the
value and surroundings of the inStitu-
ton named? The Governors presence
would necessarily make it an object to
that portion of the State Government
upon which the duty would fall to keep
the building and grounds in as good cor
dltlon as possible; and what do we, the
public, more desire for the gallery than
that 1t should not be allowed to retro
grade, even to its outside appearance, that
a change of some landlords or tenants
might bring about? For it may not be
generally known that One-half the eX-
pcnse of maintaining the grounds of the
city's art gallery in good order, and for
watchmen for the premises, has all along
and now is paid by Mrs. Crocker. the
same parties caring for both properties.
Now that we have accepted and hold
this munificent gift, that is such a very
great attraction and benefit to us all. and
as / believe our State should make an
effort to have our Governors comfortable
in their surroundings, let us use our in
tiuence for q common good purpose and
endeavor to locate the Executive resi-
dence where it will benefit the general
public, make the Governors comfortable,
and at the same time benefit one of our
most valued institutions. L. p FIGG.
