GAINESVILLE ITEMS.

March IA sad accident occurred
here last evening that resulted in the
loss Of an eye to Miss Susie Smith
daughter of J. g.. Smith. Susie Smith
with two other girls were going te
call at neighbours last night just af
ter dark. Before going to the door
they went to the window and raped
and when some one came to see who
it was, the girls turned and ran away
Susie running against the sharpened
end of one of load of poles that had
been hauled into the yard for wood
that day, cutting the eye-ball nearly
in two. Drs Cummings and Taylor
removed the eye this morning. Mis-:
Susie is very bright girl of about Il
years, and the accident is sad mis-
fortune to her and her parents.

of the state, and of North Dakota
with threshing machines and men
that they might get their great wheat
crop safely housed. 1t has now under
taken the jobof furnishing them with
help to get in their spring crop. The
great crop the farmers had to take
care of last fall, and the delay &C.
casioned by the lack of machines to
do the threshing, put them back in
making the usual preparations for the
coming crop. Much must be done,
and they will undoubtedly need all
the help that can be secured for them.
The public spirit exercised by the
Jobbers Union in getting the needed
help, will no doubt be appreciated as
it ought to be, by those for whom it

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

Cardinal Gibbons has promised to
visit Boston ere long and preside at
meeting to raise money for monu-
ment to John Boyle O'Reilly.
The mental condition of Guy de
Maupassant has become very much
improved since his confinement in DR..
Blanche's asylum for the insane.
The parents of ex-senator Ingalls,
are still living at Haverhill, Mass.
The father, now over 80 years of age,
was the inventor OF several useful
machines employed in manufacturing
shoes.
If he lives until 1894 Gen. Miles will
be the commanding general of the
army, the first officer appointed from
civil life, or not graduate from West
Point, holding that position since
Gen. Winfield Scott was retired in
1861, just thirty-one years ago.
Father McGlynn told New Haven
reporter recently that he would not be
surprised to see Cardinal Gibbons
elected pope when Leo XIII. dies.
Mrs. Taylor, Of Little Washington,
Pa, is known as the oil queen, be-
cause she has accumulated fortune
of 100000 by personal investments
in the Richie county, West Virginia,
fields.
Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, the widow Of
the general, is soon to issue her much
talked of volume of memoirs, for
which her publishers pay her $4,000
in cash and promise as much more in
future royalties.
The choice of a wife for Prince
George has gradually narrowed down
to two women-Princess Victoria,
daughter of Prince Christian, and
Princess Victoria, of Hesse, the
youngest daughter of Prin cess May.
A biographer of Phillips Brooks,
writing from personal acquaintance
with the distinguished Massachusetts,
divine, says that he has always been
a notably diffident man, distrustful Of
his ability. 1t is rather singular that
Mrs. Beecher, in her memoirs, makes
practically the same statement about
the great Brooklyn preacher. Difis
dence is so rare virtue nowadays
among men of genius, with whom it
used to be proverbially associated,
that it is interesting to take note of
exceptions such as these. This same
biographer of Bishop Brooks says that
when first he took orders in the
church he appeared to be overcome by
the responsibility he had assumed.

uEX-SPEAKER REED SUSTAINED

From the time the Democrats found
they must allow the Republicans to
60 ahead and transact business in
congress two years ago. up to the
present time they have not failed to
abuse Ex-Speaker Reed for the part
he took in the matter. They declared
it was in direct violation of constitu-
tional government: that it was the as
suming Of autocratic powers by the
speaker. They further declared that
any measure that became law under
the quorum count was illegal.
OF course, in view Of all this, it was
natural that the matter should find
it's way into the courts, and the other
day the. federal supreme! court dashed
Democratic hopes to9the ground by
sustaining the course Of the Ex-Speak-
er and the House of Representatives.
1t decided that the House had right
to make any rule to govern its actions,
which did not conflict with the federal
constitution, and that this rule did
not so conflict.
Thus another step forward has been
taken, and as it has been the policy of
Democracy to camp upon the ground
formerly occupied by the Republicans,
it is very probable they will take pos
session of this camping site when
ever they find it necessary.
The decision will also remind
that political aggregation, as it has
often been reminded before, that
Scar" Reed is not an easy subject to
knock into oblivion. Like Banquo's
ghost, he is constantly rising before
its representatives, much to their
discontinue.

-Mankatoites VINO happened to be
in San Diego. CAL, on the night of
February 23d had chance to find out
how it feels to be "shook up" by an
earthquake. About eleven O'Clock
that evening the severest shock ever
experienced there was felt, and moth
er earth rocked and heaved in a man
ner that gave thorough scare to all.
However, but little damage was done.
A local paper commenting upon it,
says, Earthquakes have been felt
here occasionally before, but since
1859 there has been no great shakes
until last night. Even this was but
seismic SILVER beside the earth
quakes that have gone into the
worlds history; but it was the most
violent display Of the globes convul-
sive forces that the majority of San
Diegans had ever witnessed. 1t was
all we wanted, any how. 1t then fol-
lows this up with a column or more
of graphic account of the scenes
that followed the shock, giving quite
an extended account of the costumes
of the people who appeared in the
streets, which is probably more in
teresting to read than to experience.

The argument that congress should
not extend any financial aid to the
Worlds fair, says the New York
Press, because in asking for the
location of that exposition at Chicago

declared that they would seek no

takes no account of the vast increase
in the scale of the exposition which
has taken place since the action Of
congress on the site Then it was
thought that s1O,ooo,0O0 to s12,OOo,OO0
would be ample for the construction
Of buildings and the making of pre-
liminary arrangements for everything
necessary to the date of the opening
of the exhibit. Now it is known that
the cost will be from $4,000, 900 to
$40, 100000 While there is Indifference
of opinion as to whether the govern
ment ought to furnish S5,000,00 for
the use of the Fair commissioners as
a loan, or as an investment in the fair
itself on an equal footing with the
state of Illinois and the city of Chica-
go, there is no popular opposition to
the efficient extension of, government
aid in some form. The fair is grand
national enterprise in which every
citizen has a direct and vital interest.
The nations credit is involved in it's
success. Whatever aid is needed from
the government TO assure success
should be promptly and ungrudgingly
rendered. ras

The revolt against Hills method OF
controlling the state legislature in
New York still goes on. In the cleo
lions on Tuesday the Republicans
made some surprising gains, and
localities which have not heretofore
been in the habit of electing MAORI
ty of Republicans on their local
boards, turned the tables completely.
In stealing the legislature to further
his personal ends, Senator Hill over
reached himself. This in connection
with his method of furthering his
presidential aspirations has not tend
ed to increase his popularity.
When election day arrives next
November, the Senator will find that
the people have taken away his power
to manipulate the ballots to suit his
pleasure and ambitions.

1T Is CONSTITUTIONAL.

From the time of the election in
1890 to within a few days of the'm meet
ing of the present Congress, the Dem.
ocrats claimed that the large Dem
ocratic majority in the present House
was protest against the Mckinley
law, and demand for its repeal. But
in the mean time the Mckinley law
daily grew in popular favor, and many
high in the councils of the Democra.
tic party concluded it not best to at
tack the law in its entirety. They
were largely Influenced to take this
view of the matter, no doubt, by the
result of the elections last fall.
But in the meantime they hoped
the law would be knocked out without
their aid. Its constitutionality was
being questioned in the courts.
Having reached point where they
dared not attack the bill only in a
piece meal manner, the Democratic
leaders had hoped the highest court
in the land would do it for them. But
the supreme court saw nothing in the
objections to invalidate the law and
so decided in it's favor. In brief the
rulings of the court in the case are:
1. That the omission of the tobacco
rebate clause from the copy of the bill
signed by the President did not in
validate the duty levying clauses.
2. That the sugar bounty clause
does not invalidate the revenue feat
ure of the bill.
3. That the reciprocity clause does
not unconstitutionally delegate legis-
lative power to the President.
4. That the Speaker of the House
of Representatives has power to count
a quorum under the rules Of the
House.
Upon the third proposition only
was there dissenting opinion in the
court. Justices Fuller and Lamar
alone objected. Now that the constitu-
tionality of the law has been passed
upon farther objections in this
line will not likely be attempted.

Hill will have 2S5 votes. Mr.. Cleve'
lard 265, and 346 for some western
man. This is figuring upon basis OF
300 members in the convention. This

man, not particularly Objectionable
to either Hill or Cleveland, they can
probably win. Boies hopes that he is
the man in question, while Palmer is
convinced that it is a party about his

THE JUDICIARY
The Only Branch of the Government Not
Affected by the Election.

The Only Branch of the Government Not
Affected by the Election.
The Judiciary is the only branch of the gov
ernment which will remain under the control
of the republican party after the ith of March.
United States judges are appointed for life,
subject to the privilege of voluntary retirement
on full pay after reaching the age Of seventy
years. provided they have been ten years in
service. The district and circuit judges are as
a rule republicans, and it is unlikely that there
will be a sufficient number of vacancies during
the next four years to enable Mr. Cleveland by
new appointments to give the democratic party
a majority Of these positions. Nor is there any
probability that the next administration will
have an opportunity to make the United States
Supreme Court democratic. As this is the
court Of final resort on all questions of consti-
tutional or federal law the political predelic-
tions of its justices may at any time become a
matter of importance, though the freedom of
the court from influence by considerations ex-
trsneous to the legal points at issue in any
before il is conceded
The places on the Supreme bench which it is
most likely Mr.. Cleveland will have oppor-
tunity to fill (if there be any vacancies at alb
are at present occupied by democrsts-Justices
Field and Lamar. Chief Justice Fuller is the
only other democrat on the bench. The
naming six members are republicans and, ex-
cept Justice Blatchford, none of them are
within five years Of the age at which they may
retire at full pay.
Justice Blstchford is in vigorous health, and
as he likes his work he is in no hurry to take
advantage OF the opportunity the law affords
him, he having served ten years last spring.
The other five members Of the court-viz.
Justices Harlan, Gray, Brown, Brewer and
Shiras-are men hardly past middle age. and SO
far as appearances go are each good for u
decade of service yet.
