THE Commercial, of Pensacola, Flori-
da, has this short but clear paragraph
in advocacy of the single tax:
A tax on land values would benefit
the farmers. All land would not pay
tax. Land having rental or monopoly
value only would pay a tax, and this
only as much as it was worth. The
rental value of land in the heart of a
city is worth thousands of dollars per
foot, and never, even in the outskirts,
goes below one hundred dollars per
acre. As you go out from the centers
of population and business the land
value decreases, so that the domain of
no rental value and no tax comes closer
and closer to the great centers of popu-
lation as they now exist Better than
al this, tax on the value of land will
stay Just where it is put. and can not be
shifted from one person to another like
a license or personal property tax until
at last it all falls upon the shoulders of
the laboring men, who are of others
least able to bear the burden.

Liver, Stomach, and Bowels, by
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
do it in just the right way, too
by using Natures own methods.
That's why they're better than the
dreadful, old fashioned pills, with
their gripping and violence.
But they're better in every way.
In size, for instance, and dose.
They're the smallest and the cas-
lest to take; only one little Pellet
is needed for q gentle laxative
three for cathartic. They cleanse
and regulate the system thoroughly
but it's done easily and naturally.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache,
Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious
Attacks, and all arrangements of
the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are
prevented, relieved, and cured.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. You pay only for value
received.
Something else, that pays the
dealer better, may be offered as
"just as good" Perhaps it is, for
him, but it can't be, for you.

RECORD IN DEHoRNlNo.

Thirty-One Cows Deprived OF Horns In
Forty Minutes.
! recently dehorned my herd of 81
head in about 40 minutes. There was
no perceptible loss of appetite OF
shrinkage of milk in any case. Before
dehorning, my cows were always in
clined to fight more or less, and occa-
sionally / have lost cows from the
effects of this. Now they are as peace
able as sheep. My method was Us fol-
lows: l first bought spring back bone
saw which, with rope about 10 feet
long, is all the implement necessary to
perform the operation. Leaving the
COWS in the stanchions, fastened the
rope with a halter-hitch around the
neck and half-hitch over the nose,
then I slipped the rope up near the
eyes. l then put the rope over the
stanchion occupied by the next COW,
distance of about three feet, and drew
the head firmly to one side, having q
man to hold the rope. took the horn
in the left hand and sawed as closely as
possible to the head. After taking of
one of the horns drew the head to the
other side and proceeded In the same
way. turning each COW out as soon as
finished with her. The loss OF blood
was slight with few exceptions The
application of tar about a week later
aids in healing the wound 1t is best
to do this before warm weather, when
the flies become troublesome. By this
method there is no danger to man or
beast am now a strong advocate Of
dehorning, for my experience has given
such satisfactory results.-B. J. jerks,

Shot a Biz Devil Fteh.

Yesterday four ssa devils we're to be seen
sporting outside the third bar at the beach in
front of the Pagoda says the Galveston Netos.
The sea devil, or devil fish, whip-ray, or sea-
bat as you will, bears the liquid name of To-
phius piscatorius, and is an ascanthopUerygian,
OF the family of pediculati, so one can see that
it Ia well connected.
Louis and Stanley Sinclair and Joe McNa-
mara-none of them being more than sixteen
wears old--saw these fishes and determined to
get one aud sell it So one of the boys Dor
rowed Winchester rifle, while the other two
got q rowboas and q harpoon. And out they
went for their prey.
The devil fish is reputed to be of a sluggish
disposition, like all gluttons. II feeds, a
rule at the bottom of the sea- in the mud, at
tracing its prey by waving its tentacles-they
are silvery looking, ana thereby exciting the
curiosity OF small fishes. In swimming near the
surface this fish sticks the tip of one wing out
of the water and moves along slowly unless
startled in which event a locomotive cannot
keep it in sight; the speed which the fish can
develop has been estimated at more than sixty
miles an hour. and that goes to show how slug
gish such fish is.
The boys rowed around and soon saw one Of
tbs fishes-the devil fish is not easily frightened
and pulled up within forty or fifty feet. Joe
Mcnamara fired shot into the ray, which inn
mediately preached, scooting fully twenty feet
out and ahead like a fiying fish. Two more
shots were fired and after beating the water
into flinders it died. Then a harpoon was
thrown into the fish and 1t was towed to
OKeefe's, where it was siung and hoisted out
with a windlass. II was then put on a float and
hauled over to the Beach hotel.
This fish measuree fourteen feet from wing
tip to wing tip.

Alarmed Republicans.

The leaders of the Republican party In
Florida appear to be the victims of their
own smartDess. They did not nominate an
electoral ticket when they held their state
convention, because they desired the two
wings OF the Democratic party In the state
to get farther apart, and they hoped their
desire would be gratified il they did not put
out an electoral ticket. They had no idea
thet the third party would endeavor to get
control of the federal patronage of the state.
They have discovered that they made
a mistake, and now they are In great state
of mind. They were pretty we'll satisfied as
long as they felt certain Of holding on to
the federal offices. Having found out that
the third party leaders purpose to claim
the federal offices if Gen. Harrison is elected
they have all at once become remarkably
active. They called a meeting at
Jacksonville yesterday aud the re-
suit may be that they will
change their programme. If they do and
nominate an electoral ticket the third party
candidates who have been depending upon
getting the republican vote will be greatly
disappointed.
The situation in Florida from the third
party aud republican standpoints presents
some rather curious features. The demo
Gratis, however, are prepared for anything
thoss parties may do. They are getting
closer together every day, and more en-
thusiastic. AS the campaign progresses the
people who desire good government will see
that the Democratic party alone is the party
to depend upon, and the result will be that
Florida will give about her usual demo-
cratic majority.
