The Times-Union nearly went
wild the other day because it had
found, in all Florida, one newspaper
(St.-Clair Abrams Tavares Herald)
that declared that s'the outside press
has no right to interfere with the
local discussions in Duval county"
The Herald doesn't seem to catch on.
The universally expressed indigna-
ton of the state press at the Times
Unions absurd efforts to make it
appear that it is democratic because
it raised faint hurrah for the
Mitchell ticket, while it secretly
rejoices in the prospect Of a third
party opposition ticket, and con-
tinues it's support of the independent
Duval county ticket, is not an inter
ference with the local politics of
Duval county, in any sense. 1t is
simply the discussion of the ques-
ton: Is the Times Union a demo.
cratic journal?

Deaths in January.

1t has often been noticed at the begin
ming of January the death is announced
of number of prominent men. The
reason is probably found in the fact not
that great men are more prone to die in
January than at any other time of the
year, but that the weather in that month
is unsettled, and consequently hard on
the constitution alike of great and hum
BILE. Great men are only human after
all, and a great man physically weak
ened by hard work or disease is just -
likely to die from a change of weather
as though he were day laborer.
The mortality tables show that the
month of January and the first month
of exceedingly hot weather in the sum-
mer are more fatal than any other time
Of the year, and the great must take
their chances with other people.-St
Louis Globe Democrat.

Number of People Since Adam.


Did you ever make a calculation Of
the probable number of people that have
inhabited our globe since the beginning
of time? No doubt you will say that
such calculations involve loss Of time.
and are after all barren of results. But
let us take few minutes time and an
proximate, with a certain degree Of
accuracy, the number of souls that have
been ushered into this wicked world
since the time when it was mot good for
Adam to be alone"
AT the present time it is believed that
there are ,4OO, OOO, 900 human beings on
the globe; but let us suppose that there
has been but an average of 600, 1000, 900
living at any one time since the crea-
ton. Next, to give room for any possible
doubt, we will put the average length
of life at fifty years. ct may have been
much longer than that 5000 years ago,
but has been much shorter for the last
1000 years. With the average length
Of life as above, we have had two gem
erations Of 900, 0OO, 600 each every CEN
fury for the past {, 200 years.
Taking this for granted this globe has
had $685., 843, 237, 075, 268 human in
habitants since the beginning of time.
To even bury this vast number the
whole landed surface of the globe, every
inch of it, would have to be dug over 1870
times'-Philadelphia Press.

Is the T1meS.UnIOn Democratic?
From the Live Oak Banner


What is the matter with the
"great and good" Tlmes-Union?
While it came out Immediately after
the Tampa convention with a very
weakly pronuuciamento advising
support OF the democratic ticket
there nominated, yet, ever since then
it has lost no opportunity to cast
petty, spiteful slurs at the convention
and it's work, and seems eager to
publish the slurs of anybody, no
matter who.
Does this show an honest support?
Init issue of the 10th, instant, for
instance, it devotes nearly column,
with flaming headlines, to a string Of
senseless gush, totally devoid of pith
or wit, from that cringing remnant
of carpet-bagism in Florida W. X.
Cessna, who, among his scallawag
and republican contreres in those
shiny days back of 1876, it is said,
was Familiarity known under the
sotriquet of "Slippery Shoe Fly"
Our idea of the fitness of things is
that democratic paper that is
sincerely supporting the nominees Of
the democratic party, should protect
and vindicate them from the scnrri-
lous attacks Of such men as Cessna
and bis ilk. e'
Cessna, however, is one of the
brightest stars in the third party
comic opera just now, and maybe the
IT. Q. lie drifting that way, and finds
morsels from him sweet to ito taste:
Tor perhaps its republican, standard
oil monopolist stockholder has given

be judged from the outside, says
Chas. Francis Adams in the July
Forum, the issue made by the republi.
can party in the campaign of 1888,
which resulted in the election of
Harrison, was distinct and simple.
1t set itself in direct opposition to
the public policy which President
Cleveland had enunciated as respect
what may be called the protected
interests" of the country and the
pension agents. 1t turned to those
powerful and wide spread organiza-
lions, saying to one: eff you will
elect our candidate to the presidency
and return us to power, you can
come to Washington and demand
such an increase of your protective
duties as you shall see fit; and we
will see that it is given to YOU" It
then turned to the army of claim
agents in and about the pension
Office, saying to them: "If you will
elect our candidate to the presidency
and cause the administration of the
country to come into our hands, we
will allow you the free plumber of the
treasury. President Cleveland, as
you see, bars your way to it," The
result was that by a narrow vote
President Cleveland was defeated
and General Harrison elected to sue
coed him. The republican party
returned to power. After it returned
to power, the record shows that it
was as good as its word. It's promises
were carried out. The protected
interests swarmed to Washington,
and in due time the Mckinley tariff
bill was reported and passed. In it
the demands Of every producer, 30
far as appears, who wished to fatten 1T
the expense Of the consumer we're
gratifed. He had to but ask, and it
was given. On the other hand, the
horde of claim agents ran riot in the
Pension Office under Corporal Joe"
Tanner until that treasury which
President Cleveland left only too full
babe tair to be empty. The record
in this respect is one Of which the
quondam soldiers of the Republic
cannot we'll feel proud. The treasury
was looted.
