The democrats have been unusually
unfortunate in their recent mistafe-

announcement made with a great flour
ish Of trumpets in democratic Dews-

erick Douglass resigned as U. S.
Minister to Hayti, to the effect that Mr..
Douglass was very much down on the
administration and that he proposed
/ leading a revolt among tire colored
/ voters against Mr.. Harrison's renomi-
nation. OF course nobody who knew
Mr. Douglass placed the slightest cred
ence in the story at the time it was
started, and now, for the benefit of those
who do not know him, it can be stated
that he made the most effective denial
possible, in lecture here this week, by
announcing himself as being in favor of
a second term for Mr.. Harrison.

1t is that impnrity in the blood which, ac~
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores ON the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin af pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

able enough and especially the fire

An exchange saws that there is one
great evil in this country the palpit and
press ought to denounee more frequently
than thew do-that is the habit of getting
into debt and making no effort to pay.
Can man be a consistent christian and
not strive TO paw oil his debts? Can
man be a christian and not be honest?
Is man who does not try to live within
his means and pay his debts all honest
men? Ii so; we do not understand the
Bible Should men who habitually dis
regard their financial obligations be al
lowed to remain in the church? We
think not. and think that a mans being
member Of the church ought to be
letter of credit in any part of the globe
where the christian religion prevails.
But it is not the case; far from it. and
there are some ministers whose sermons
do no good because they are not
preached by men who are considered
honest by even men of the world
WhiSkey is pronounced the great evil of
the day, and il is a ere curse; but we
doubt whether it does more harm to the
cause Of the church than the lying and
dishonesty of the sober church member,
whose promise to pay is not worth the
papc. it is written on. The church is
not the place for fraud and dishonesty" =

THE CITRUS FAIR SURPLUS.
It Will Probably be Turned Over to the
Worlds Fair Committee,

There was meeting of the citrus fair
committee called for II O'Clock at the
chamber of commerce rooms yesterday,
but only three members of the commit
tee responded. An effort was made to
get the remainder OF the committee out
in the afternoon, but the committee
failed to turn out a quorum, so that
nothing could be done towards consid-
ering the request of the worlds fair
committee that the surplus funds of the
citrus fair, amounting to about $4,000, be
turned over to them for use in preparing
the exhibit from this part of the state.
A resolution granting the request was
prepared and copy will be sent to each
member of the committee, preparatory
to another call for meeting. 1t was
the opinion of those present yesterday,
however, that the money. if turned over
to the worlds fair committee, might
only be used by them for the prepara-
ton of the citrus department of South
ern California's exhibit. This will
hardly prove entirely satisfactory to the
committee, as their need at present is
money for current expenses, until suit
able appropriations are made by the
supervisors of counties and other inter-
ested bodies.
