Manners and Mora,s.

We have to fall back at last for the
standard Of good manners and good
morals not upon the few. but upon the
many. The masses Of the people are
unquestionably more critical as to
morality than any exclusive circle; and
as to the essentials-not the convention
alities-of good manners, they are to be
found more securely anon tile many
than among the few. We have the high
authority Of Bronson Howard for saying
that a Bowery audience is far quicker
than a fashionable New York audience
to frown on anything really immoral in
g play. More than one English noble
man has been forgiven in American
drawing rooms for conduct Which would

sex, at some very exclusive ball. The
little social circles have their value;
they furnish part Of the education and
experience in social life. When they
happen to be under the leadership Of q
really cultivated and high minded
woman--like the late Mrs John Jacob
Astor, for instance--they afford not
merely school of department. but Of
life Where they areas is quite as
likely--under a very different style Of
leadership. the results correspond. "He

the world there are women whose forms

still carry the habits Of the alley in their
souls. La the long run, the safety Of our
national morals and manners does not
lie in any Of the little social circles. but
in the average sense and breeding of
the vast public from which those circles
are constantly recruited. III w. Hig-

HILL OR CLEVELAND?

Commenting upon the possibili-
bilities for 1892, and as to whether
Cleveland or Hill will secure the
nomination for the presidency, Har-
per's Weekly says that Governor
Hill has made himself master of a
strong and efficient machine, while
the friends of Mr.. Cleveland trust
largely to the logic of the situation.
They anticipate contest upon the
question of tariff revision, and they
naturally hold that in such contest
Mr.. Cleveland is the inevitable party
leader. To put him aside would be
a confession Of doubt and an aban-
donment Of the issue. They look,
therefore, for Mr.. Cleveland's nomi-
nation by reclamation. The depend.
ence of the Hill contingent is of an
other kind. 1t aims to secure dele
gates, and appeals to the party ira
dition and spirit by representing
Mr.. Cleveland as the mugwump
rather than the Democratic favorite.
1t will question his party popularity
in his own state, and suggest party
alienation in the Western States as
the result Of his positive financial
views, and as a last stroke will prob
ably say that under the peculiar cir
cumstances the snrest way of secur-
ing New York will be to take q
Western candidate.

THE WANAMAKER STAMP.

Much complaint has been heard in
Tallahassee against the very infe-
rior-it might be said. shoddy bar
gain-counter postage stamps that
have been palmed off upon the peo-
pie under the Wanamaker admins
tration. Commenting upon these
shoddy little stickers the New York
World says:
The postage stamp now in the use is
manufactured with too strict a reference
to the conditions of the bargain-coun-
ter.
1t Is made of paper 30 fimsy that it is
easily torn in separating it from its fellows
on the sheet. The perforation, which is
supposed 10 make this task easy, is very
imperiectly dOne-much worse done than
at any time since the perioration machine
was invented.
The cOlOrs used upon many ofthe stamps
are "fast" only in the sense that they run"
when moistened, and this entails great
annoyance upon those who must aff1x
many stamps to mail matter.
Finally, anu as GROWING fault, there is
some radical defect in the gum used for
adhesive purposes. 1t readily absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere and sticks
to itself or 10 anything else it touches with
the pre,inacity OF scandal. He who un-
dertakes to carry stamps in the pocket
book finds considerable percentage Of
them useless af er few hours, and even
the handling of fresh sheet Of stamps is a
disagreeably sticky job.
The plain truth is either that the contract
for making the stamps has been let TOO low
or that the contractor is making too much
money by cheap and careless manufac ture
In either case the condition of things is a
serious annoyance TO the public which the
post flee department should speedily
remedy

FLORIDA AT THE FAIR.

1t is very important that Florida
should have a complete display of
her products at the Worlds Colum-
bian Fair. Every county should act
in this matter, and there is no ques-
tion but what the Orlando movement
is the best plan that could be pur-
sued to make the effort to prepare a
display successful.
Leon county should be repre-
sented at the Orlando convention,
which meets the first Wednesday in
October next. Who will take the
initial step and call a meeting for the
purpose of organizing?
The details of what is necessary
to be done will be found in the sub.
joined circular letter addres sed to
the people of Florida, which has been
signed and circulated by Geo. F.
Foote, chairman, and /. NJ. Aud,
secretary, of Orlando. The address
is as follows:
Realizing the Importance of united
fort on the part of the people of Florida
to secure a proper exhibit OF the resources
of our state at The Worlds Fai', the CHI
zens of Orlando have set apart tue fl, st
Wednesday i'll October next, as being an
appropriate time when the people of the
state should meet in convention at Or
lando to devise and adopt some plan of
action which will secure an organized
ettor i'll raising the necessa' funds
We therefore respec fully request you,
hearty cooperation in making the pro-
| posed convention and its object Il success.

your county be call q TO meet at an early
date

Trouble in . Country House.

An uptown cfubman, who Is vary
much in trade and keeps an eye always
on the main chance, came to grief the
other day through inviting to bis coun-
try house visitor who was visiting the
city to spend lot of money in bud-
ness way. The clubman merchant
wanted the visitors custom and took
this hospitable way to secure it. The
visitor found at his hosts a company
who were laying plans for horseback
rides and other bucolic sports In or
der to make himself congenial to such
company he appeared at dinner
wearing spura His hosts friends were
unable to repress their amusement
This proved 30 embarrassing to the
visitor that when soup was passed 10
him he upset It, splitting the scaldng
liquid in his lap.
The mishap was too ludicrous to e.
cite sympathy Its reception in a spirit
of levity decided him to leave the t.

HON JOHN r. DUNN.

Few men in Florida are better
known or better liked than Hon.
John F. Dunn of Ocala. His great
popularity causes his many friends
to be continually seeking to honor
him with some office. They sought
to make him a candidate for election
to the United States senate during
the recent contest, but when he
found that his candidacy would be
opposed by some of the alliance
members Of the Legislature on the
grounds of his connection with
national bank, he, for the sake of
preserving harmony in the alliance
ranks, came out in manly letter de-
clining to allow his friends to put his
name in nomination.
Now those friends have already
begun to urge that he be the party
nominee for the next governor of
Florida. The FLoR1D1AN. believes
this to be altogether unauthorized
by Mr.. Dunn. He is not politician
and has never sought the nomination
or election to any office. He is
strictly business man and has his
hands full looking after his vast and
rapidly growing business interests.
There is no question but what
Hon. John F. Dunn would do honor
to Florida as her chief executive,
and in the FLoR1D1AN's opinion his
administration would be brilliant,
but the question now is not his fit
ness to fill the Office. We all agree
as to that. 1t is, would it not be
doing Mr.. Dunn an injustice rather
than an honor to push him into office
even against his earnest protests?
1t has been aptly said that no man
has the right to refuse when his
party calls. But the party should
be considerate and not 80 loudly call
one who could not accept the Office
without sacrificing his own personal
interests and neglecting the great
and growing business enterprises that
have been built up by him and now
demand his entire time and attention.

RATES ON PEARS.

Last week the FLoR1DIAN made
mention of the dissatisfaction ex.
pressed by the pear shippers Of Leon
county at the rates announced by
the railroad companies, wherein the
railroads gave rate of 81 cents a
barrel on pears to New York, but
stipulated that the rate was based
on a barrel weighing but 100 pounds
and that they would charge pro rata
for all excess Of that weight.
The FLOEIDIAN pointed out that a
barrel Of pears would weigh l75
pounds, therefore making the rate by
freight TO New York $l.57 a barrel
instead of "a cents as it seemed to
be at first glance.
The FLoRIDIAN's mention of the
matter was read by the officials OF
the progressive Florida Central and
Peninsular railway and they imme
diately consulted with the officers OF

THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

The battle to be waged in 1892
will be hard fought. The demo
cratic party has not alone to COM
bat the organized republicans, but
must oppose the monopolistic money
power. There is much work to do,
and if the democrats would succeed
in ousting the enemy they must Or
ganize at once and prepare for
heated action.
Hon. Calvin S. Brice, chairman of
the national democratic executive
committee, has recently sent the
subjoined circular letter to the chair
men of state committees. 1t should
be needed. He says:
The importance of immediate prepara-
tions for the presidential campaign of
next year must be obvious to every DEM
ocrat. The timely and energetic conduct
of our opponents would be warning
enough if there were no other reason for
it. It is evident that they expect decis-
i've results to attend upon their extensive
and we'll organized system of clubs. 1t
will be sustained with money without
stint, drawn from the pockets of the ben
efciaries of the monopoly system main
tanned by that party. 1t can be met only
by an equally extensive and we'll organ
lied system Of democratic societies. The
latter is more appropriate to our pur.
pose since it was the first organization of
the democratic party in The United
States, and was the instrument of agita-
ton, and was employed by the fathers of
the democratic party in the first great
| struggle for resistance to federalism and
for the restitution of constitutional gov
eminent. 1t is earnestly recommended
| that every official in the regular organi-
cation of the democratic party will see
that everything possible in his jurisdic.
diction shall be done to aid and encour-
age it.
l desire to call your attention to the
| work now in course of successful accom-
plishment by the executive committee OF
the national association of democratic
clubs. ard to say that their plan has
bt en- submitted to and meets the ap-
proval of the national committee. The
select on of correspondents under this
plan is of the greatest Importance, and
under this date l have written to the
member of the national committee from
your state, asking him to communicate
with you al once so that proper selec-
tions may be made.
The plan cannot in any way interfere
with state organization, and on the con
trary, proposes Intimate cooperation
with the state committee, as we'll as with
the m tional committee. 1t has met with
unprecedented success in other states.
