Give Us Your Views.
TO the Editor Of the Banner


I've several short, pointed para
graphs which have appeared in your
paper lately. ] have seen such timely
words of warning to che Democratic
voters of Marion county that / wish
they could be struck cff in bold type
and posted conspicuou-ly in public
meeting places all over the county as
advice worth following.
One of these paragraphs read thus !:
"The fellows who favor railroad COM
mission with explanations and appol-
ogies are in favor of commission run
on the Observation-Disclosures
zard schedule. They want the rail-
roads to have the turkey in which
ever way the proposition may be
made.n
How true these words are, many
who remember the result of the peo-
ple's demand for a railroad commits
sion the last term of the legislature,
will readily admit, and the fact that
some who were in a position to aid in
doing justice to both railroads and peo-
pie then failed in this respect, and are
now seeking high official positions at
the hands of the democracy, shonld
arouse serious and careful scrutiny of
their past records.
Look out, brother voters of Marion
county, don't be the Indian in this
game. See to it that the next election
shall be of men true and trustworthy,
men who will seek the greatest good
for the greatest number, and in doing
SO they will necessarily be on the side
of the people.
Elect no man who has shown dis
position to accept railroad courte-
sies,n for such man must pay for his
sscourtesies.n mo man can serve two
masters
Call them out, Mr.. Editor, and let
the people have their Intentions, if
elected. Let 'foror against railroad
commission be the leading point at
issue, and if they are for commits
sion, how far? (for).
You are right; we don't want any
turkey-buzzard arrangements unless
we can be the white man awhile.
Yours for reform,
G. ]. Ross,
MarteI, Fla.

The State Convention.

The railroad and corporation demo-
Gratis captured the late convention in
fine shape. Mr.. Chipley, of the P.
and A., was grand high Sachem, and
Mr.. Sparkman, attorney for the Plant
system, and attorneys for other sys-
TENS, were his conspicuous and obe-
dient lieutenants.
The Jacksonville faction, at whose
head stood the noble Fletcher, the
mayor of the city, was given no con-
sideration whatever, while the Nassau
boilers, headed by w. Naylor Thomp-
son, paymaster of the F. G. & p. rail-
road (no other badge being necessary
was admitted with ''hip la,n that in
dicated all too plainly in which direc-
ton lay the heart and spirit of the
delegates.
The Volusia boilers, headed by
Charles Daugherty, were likewise adj
mitted.
"Whom the gods destroy they first
make mad.n
Surely the democratic people of
Florida need no more glaring picture
to convince them of the true condi-
tions which surround them, and if
they do not now heed the warming of
these terrible reformers" and be vigi-
liant in voting then they should only
blame themselves if they secure no
legislative relief.
"God helps those who help them
selves" and the "devil takes care of
his own.''
If you don't vote right don't gruln-
BILE afterwards.

Bullock for Senator.

To the Editor of the Banner
There seems now to be very gem
eral desire to nominate General Bull
lock for the senate by his old friends
as rebuff and rebuke to the manipu-
lators of the late convention in their
efforts to read him out of the party.
The 'sold war horsen has not yet lost
his qualities and if the nomination is
left to primary election and the voice
of the people can be heard General
Bullock will show these little fellows
"where they are att The only way
to head him off is in convention,
where the voice of the people will be
stified. VETERAN.

China and the Chinese.

Mr.. q. H. Tsoong, a native of China
and a student of Emory College, de-
livered an interesting lecture in the
Methodist church last Tuesday night.
Mr.. Tsoong is convert to the chris
tian religion, was scholar of Mrs.
Aliens Sunday-school class in Shang-
hal and pupil in DR.. Young j. Al
lens college. He told of the manners
and customs of the Chinese, how they
ate and what they ate, what they
wore, and how they married without
loving or courting. He also gave q
graphic account of what the mission
aries were doing for China and said he
was living witness Of the good re-
suit of their labors. The lecture was
listened to with great attention.
While in the city Mr.. Tsoong (Bell)
was guest of Mr.. Arthur Allen.

OOAIA AS A SUPPORT OF ENTRY
Special Agent Jas. MoEDery Makes an
Enthusiastic Report.

Mr.. James A. McEnery, special
agent of the United State treasury
department, spent Friday and Eatur-
day in our city Investigating the
claims Of Ocala to become q SUPPORT
of entry, Senator Call having already
introduced bill in the senate amend
ing the laws relating to transportation
of merchandise in bond, so as to al
low transportation to come direct 20
Ocala in bond.
Mr.. McEnery arrived here Thurs
day afternoon, and to Banner re-
porter stated that he regarded his visit
as mere waste of time, and intended
to make an investigation of our claims
and if found to be unworthy of notice,
intended to make his escape without
having the object of his visit made
known, but upon investigation was so
well pleased and so thoroughly con-
vinced that Ocala not only had suffi-
cient claims to be made support of
entry, butthat the times and circum-
stances demanded it, that he at once
called upon the parties most interest
ed and made his business known, and
with them again made thorough In
nestigation.
Z Mr.. McEnery's report, which was
telegraphed to WASHINGTON from st.
Augustine Monday, is enthusiastically
in favor of the government making
the appropriation asked for, $500
In his report he says that the cigar
and tobacco industries of Ocala have
passed beyond their experimental stage
and have reached such proportions as
to make this an absolute necessity.
This is the result of considerable
hard work on the part of few of our
leading progressive citizens, and every
citizen of Marion county should lend
q helping hand and aid these gentle
men in securing for Ocala this much
needed bonded warehouse.
Every effort possible should be
brought to bear upon our senators and
representatives in congress to urge the
passage of the bill already introduced
and to have Ocala as soon as practi-
cally become sub-port of entry.

Swore Allegiance,

Deputy clerk, Glover w. Miller,
was called upon Friday to administer
the oath of allegiance to nine of our

Uucle Sam.
So rapidly is Marti City increasing
in population that her Cuban citizens
are desirous of forming a municipal
government of her own, and will, we
are informed, in very short time, in
corporate their rapidly growing burg.
