com binations OF selfish or ignorant
politicians of the professional sort, or
unwise legislation, thwart or counterfeit
his industry, and defeat the results OF
all his planning and his calculations?
When the evil result 1nanifests itself,
and he finds his affairs turned topsy-
turvy by the folly or the crime of 9th
ers, he is the first to make an cutlery,
to denounce the politicians and dema-
gogues, and to deplore the degeneracy
of modern politics. He cries loudest
over his spilled milk when he and
others of his class are in measure re-
sponsible for the misfortune. Such
wailing and crashing of teeth is not
only unphilosophical, but illogical and
unbecoming. 1t betrays strange for
getfulness of the history of professional
politics and demagogy, whose path
way is marked by continuous stream
o fspilled milk, of wrecked hopes, and
miscarriages.
The politics of the day is an essen
tial element Of every mans business,
no more to be neglected or ignored
than any of the other factors entering
into his calculations-in fact, politics
is, if rightfully considered, the princi-
pal thing to be thought OF by all men
of live business instincts who have SO
much to fear from sudden or abrupt al
terations in laws, the collection of
taxes and the distribution of the public
funds. They talk of their unwillingness
to get down into ''the political mire"
and so on. That is mere begging of
the question. The political mire, So
called, exists, If at all, through their
neglect. If they went into politics
more, there would be less mud and
fewer puddles. If politics is often dirty,
it is because it is left to the care of
those who revel in mire and mud.
Somebody has said that a pigs notion
of parlor is room with a puddle in
the middle Of it. If parlors were occu-
pied by pigs, mud would take the place
of carpets. IT'S even so in the politi-
cal arena. The way to get rid of the
mud is to cast out the mud wallowers
and mud singers as the money-chang-
ers were dashed from the temple. and
introduce cleaner and more orderly and
systematic methods. Substitute COM
potency for incompetency, brains for
Drawn, honesty for crookedness, and
there will be fewer jobs, deals and
pulls. There will be far less discordant
jarring and whirring in the working of
the political machine, and business ac-
tivities and interests will experience
fewer spasms and st. Vitus dances
from alien land laws of the Gossett pat
torn

At the time George KEENAN, began writing
his articles on the penal system of Russia.
there were few persons in more favored
countries who felt other than languid in
terest in the condition of the Siberian ex-
lies and the horrors of system that Is I'M
paralleled in its atrocities. His recital of
scenes that came under his own observa-
ton, and his vivid portrayal of the wrongs
committed have quickened philanthropic in
terest for a down-trodden people; late per-
secution of the Jews in Russia has added
fervor to an awakened zeal, and articles
such as "Russian. Barbarities and Their
Apologists," by DR.. Herman Adler, and
'"What America Can Do for Russia by
number of this Review, are sure to be
studied. Rabbi Adler is one Of the most
learned men of this age, occupying as he
does high position in letters, education
and among Jewish theoloeians, what he
says on any subject will have weight Waiv-
ing all palliatives, such as colonization and
the like, he finds no remedy for existing
persecution, save compelling Of the Rus
sian government to grant the full rights of
citizenship to its Jewish subjects, which
can only be brought about by foreign inter-
ference. Stepniak, looking to the same end,
urges that to help the Russians the power
of the press must be invoked in giving pub
licity to the wrongs endured, and
in suggesting means Of relief
the writer likens this effort to
a modern invention used in war
by which the camp Of the enemy is lighted
up and the maneuvering brought in the
range of close inspection.

justice OF the peace of Douglassville pres
cinct, the place where Lee Green murdered
the Lowe family, asking for him to come at
once, that another party had been arrested,
Mack Demmons, charged with being impli-
Gated IL the Lowe murder, and that he
probably would be lynched if steps were not
taken to prevent it. Attorney Pruitt with
Sheriff Lanier, left the next morning at 3
O'Clock for Douglassville. Upon their ar
rival the spirit of lynching was still preva-
lent. Papers were filed against Mack
Demmons, charging him with murder. Ex
animation was waived and the prisoner
was ordered to jail However, before
Sheriff Lanier and Constable Morris
started with the prisoner, County Attorney
Pruitt announced that the prisoner would
be conveyed directly to the Linden Jail, and
that he was there ready to prosecute any
man or number of men for murder who
would engage in the mobbing of Mack
Demmons on his way to jail. He was

Convent hair'' is an article well known
to the trade and highly priced. When
young woman takes the veil in the Roman
Catholic church her hair is cut OF, and the
tresses are sold for the benefit of the con-
vent. As the hair is cut pretty close to the
head, the tresses are usually long. and thus
convent hair' has a special value.

1T WAS ALL A DREAM.

When the sub-treasuryites got to-
gether in party pow-wow, in formal
conclave, and resolved with due earn
estness and determination to capture
the Democratic party of Texas at the
primaries, they INDUCED pleasant
but a most delusive dream. Their
fond hallucination was founded on the
assumption that the Democratic party
would sit quietly down and permit it
self to be captured without 50 much as
raising hand against the would-be
captors. 1t was assumed also that an
'.Ocala Democrat" was the peer in
every essential of Jeffersonian Demo
crat and equally entitled to party rec
ognition aud all the rights and privi-
leges accompanying. A more prepos-
ferrous assumption still was the declar-
alton put forth with Tooley street
audacity that the pet heresy OF the
sub-treasury Jacobins was in itself the
very essence of sound Democracy, in
spite of the fact that the Democratic
party of the state had formally and
authoritatively reprobated and con-
demned it as silly and mischievous.
Dreams all. Dreams and decisions
that, when Chairman Finiey's letter
appeared, vanished, taking with them
the last vestige of hope left the
TooleY street statesmen.
They now know that an "Ocala
Democrat is an absurdity as
great as a Mckinley Democrat
would be, or a pagan-Christian. He
is rank solecism in politics, and not to
be tolerated in the Democratic house
hold. They now know that the Demo-
cratic party of Texas does not mean to
sit still to be bound and gagged by band
of Lilliputian heroes. They know, too,
that no sort of insidiousness will avail
them in trying to swindle their sub
treasury bantling into the Democratic
cradle. They are doomed to disap-
potntment and disaster, and have no
other hope save what may be found in
the formation of a third party. 1t is
either that or a formal remuneration
of the peculiar folly to which they have
devoted SO much unavailing lung
power and shrill scrannel-piping.
The letter of Chairman Finley has
given Ocala Democracy the finishing
stroke in this broad commonwealth. 1t
has torn the mask from the impostor
and exposed the bleared eyes and re-
pulsive features of the sub-treasury
Mumbo-Jumbo. If there be any calling
themselves Democrats who wish to
worship at its shrine let them do SO in
all freedom and conscience, but let
them know also that when they do,
they have apostatized from the
true faith Of jefferson, and ipso facto
communicated themselves.

IT is reported that the governor of
Tennessee is calmly turning the leaves
of his law book to see if he can find
authority for ordering out the militia
against the Briceville miners who re-
leased 800 convicts and destroyed lot
of the states property. 1t is more
likely that the governor is looking to
find some authority that will not allow
him to take action. The same condi-

the state, and the legal question that
is now puzzling the governor was gone
over then. II it is held that there is

THE Ocala Democrats of Bosque

The Ocala Democrats of Bosque
county have added new political SIN
to the catalogue of the sub-treasury in
dex expurgatorious. For ''consorting
with bank officials" they expelled from
the Democratic party the secretary Of
the county Democratic committee, who,
unfortunately for himself, had called
the meeting together. 1t is presumed
the feelings of vengeance against
Chairman Finley prompted the expul-
sion. The chairman was beyond their
reach, so the irate and scornful 'Dem-
ocrats" wreaked their vengeance on
the secretary who was, perhaps, occa-
sionally seen tipping glasses with a
bank official. Well may the poor sec
rotary say, as did another long ago:
st was all well enough for you gentle
men to dissemble your love, but why
did you kick me down stairs?"

Great Britain Had Difficulty With Brazil
in 1868 Similar to the United
States Claims against Chill
Not without a Precedent.


WASHINGTON, Nov An imperious de-
mand has been made upon Chill for repara-
ton and apology for the insult and outrages
committed upon the sailors OF the Balti-
more. This demand was made on Monday
last, and the CHILEAN government has re-
fused any apology or any PREPARATION. The
probabilities are that Chill has been in
duced to take this course oy the comments
of the London Times made on Tues
day morning, in which the action
of the United States was condemned and
rather severely commented on. The
English papers forget that precisely SINH
lar action was taken by the British govern
ment in 1868 in the case of Brazil, though
the officers of the English ship who were
arrested were in citizens clothes and were
drunk and disorderly, yet British fleet
sailed into Rio Janeiro and took six Brazil
ian vessels, holding them as hostages for
the PREPARATION demanded, which had to be
granted under the circumstances, as Brazil
had no power to resist Great Britain.
