There is much that is coarse in the
composition of Rev. Sam Jones', but
sometimes he tells what he himself
might describe as great chunks of
truth. Here is one of them from a
report of one of his sermons:
In paying his respects to time-serving preach.
ers he said he had no use for the preacher who
iabored to round OF his sermons to fit everybody
and hurt nobody; who pitched into the Mormons
aud the Jews aud the Elainites and jewellers
round about Mesopotamia, but never said a
word to the old hounds in the congregation who
were swindling the poor and being daily guilty
of innumerable WEAKNESSES.
Bishop Haygood could have put this
into chaster English, but he could not
have put more truth into it in expla-
nation of how the pulpit falls short
of its highest usefulness.

But the creation of a railroad commission will
not furnish Office for all the democrats i'll Florida

object to seeing reform in the party. There is
big room for improvement and no one will deny
it. But let the reform movement start from the
right source and not from set of selfconstituted

What is most needed is some sort oil
a reform that will prevent the New

not derived from the people and il
democrats have no right to speak to

know the reason why?

Clipping the Wings Of a Sky soraper

Clipping the Wings of Sky scraper.
Mr.. Owen, the young man who is
seeking Breckinridge's place in Con-
gress from Kentucky, is loaded down
with both the names of Webster and
Clay, and wearing their names he
wants to show the world that he has
somewhat of their genius and elo-
quence. He brushes the cobwebs from
heavens arch after the following fash
ion:
'sThe civic crown of honor for which / strive
has been so often proudly won aud grandly
worn that he who seeks it now, though bolder
far than dare be, must need approach with fear
and trembling place in my keeping the BAN
ner that marks your sacred trust, and though 1
may not, shall not lift ii where it foated in the
days of old yet by the heaven that bends above
us, by the hills that seem eternal swear to re-
turn it unstained by dshonor.p
When Mr.. Owen reached the next
town can he soar aloft on the same
wings and reach the same climax after
reading the following criticism of his
''effortn which is made by the Mem
phis Commercial:
We are confident that Mr. Owen speaks with
affected modesty. Young statesmen who evacu-
ate such gobs of dictionary are always conscious
of an expansive brow. If Mr.. Owen had known
the difference between eloquerce and wind on
the stomach he would not have done this thing.
If he had not thought he was reaching an alti-
tude compared to which the loftiest flight of Cc-
ero was toad.jump, he would never have strad-
died the wflistling blast in such heroic fashion.
Whenever a man spurts such sluice of word
wash into the face of hopeless audience you
may wager the last dollar III the till that he
thinks he is grinding immortality with an irwin
chile ciinch. Mr. Owen is young yet, and he
may get over it; but we tell him in all kindness
that he must have his e1oquence tapped for the
dropsy. He must get the water out of his intel
1ectual system if he has to go through clothes
wringer. We believe that Mr.. Owen is good
young man. and that he will return the banner
unstained aud all that It is not necessary for
him to swear, either by the eternal hills or the
perishing and evanescent valleys, to convince us
that he is all right far as the banner is con-
cerned. But he is awfully afflicted with en-
gorgement OF the vocabulary, and we tremble
when we think of his having spell on the floor

Liberty means that every individ-
ual is left perfectly free to follow his
own will, to pursue his own fashion,
with no limit whatsoever imposed
upon him by others; this complete
freedom being bounded only by the
equally complete freedom of every
one of his neighbors. Nothing less
than this is liberty; nothing more
than this is possible. This liberty is
the birthright of every man and every
woman. The right to life comes
from the fact of birth, and life inn
plies something more than mere ex-
istence; it implies the right to exer-
else every physical and every mental
faculty, to grow, to develop, to become
perfect. Mrs. Annie Besant,

The Jacksonville Metropolis, van
pushed in argument and routed at

appear that the Banner is opposed to
the confirmation of Hon. Henry w.
Long and Hon. George w. Wilson,
and asks, "What is to be thought of
paper that turns its back on its own

serve pity or contempt?"
AS the Banner has favored the APP
pointment of both these gentlemen,
and the Metropolis knows 1t, what
must be said of paper that wilfully
and knowingly perverts the truth,
without any $50 to speakn about it.

William Reyes, who lives in tn e
"Moultrie neighborhood,n few miles
south of st. Augustine, Fla, makes
$500 year out of eight scuppernong
grape vines. This grape is native of
Florida and grows with little or no
care. 1t has thick, tough skin, but a
most delicious pulp. From the frui t
of these eight vines Mr.. Reyes gets
about 900 gallons of wine every year,
the wine bringing him from ST to 81 LIS
per gallon in st. Augustine--or an av-
erage of $3.50 net for the crop. He
raises his own cane and "grindsn his
own sugar, so that the cost of that in
gredient if reduced to minimum;
and all other items OF expense or la
Dor will not aggregate over $3.50; this
leaves clear profit of $500 from the
eight vines, not counting the many
bushels of grapes that are eaten by the
family or given away. Besides the
native scuppernong grape the growers
in lower st. Johns cuunty cultivate
half dozen other fine varieties for
the northern markets and for wine.
There are now nearly three hundred
acres in grapes jn and around Moul-
trie. and the owners of the vineyards
are on the high road to wealth.

MYSTERIES!
The Nervous System the Seat
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs OF the body are under the con.
troll OF the nerve centers located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, 1t will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centerS will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Tw0-thirdS of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it

treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause Of the trouble.

We feel sorry if the feelings Of our
good friend of the Baptist Witness
should be torn and lacerated on ac-
count Of the strong language some-
times employed by this paper. But
when we remind him that it requires
strong language to express intense
convictions we nope his feelings may
become not only unruffied but entire
" modified. AS justification of the
strong language we sometimes employ
we could cite him to some familiar
passages very frequently used in a
book that is to him both spear and
shield. For instance, in speaking of
false prophets alluring the people from
the consideration of questions of great
moment by the introduction Of false
issues, what does this good book say :
aThere shall be false prophets among
the people who shall bring in dan1,ta-
bic heresies.u See! So when false
prophets shall come in to the demo-
cratic party and seek to inject false
issues before the people in order to
distract them from the consideration
of real ones, shall our good brother
condemn us for using some real strong
bible explosives? With this xplana-
ton we hope the Banners familiarity
with the strong meat of scripture will
not lay heavy and indigestible on the
intellectual stomach of our good
neiohbOr.

The NeaDs and Citizen in we'll writ
tea article on the practice in this
state of promoting lieutenant gov
errors to the office of governor, at
some subsequent election says:
Already there are presented for
consideration at the next convention
eight or ten good names for Lieuten-
ant Governor. Among them are
Messrs, Mansur, circuit, Bates, Arms,
Lincoln, Vail, Perkins and Brown.
That any one of these men will pre-
side with becoming dignity over the
thirty peaceable Senators who as
semble in that little room in the east
wing Of the Capitol, no one doubts.
All are worthy men, but no one of
them is so much better than the
others that he should ask to be doubly
honored by being made Lieutenant
Governor in '94 and then in six years
step into the Gubernatorial chair.
He ig indeed poor politician who
has not discovered among the think
ing Republicans Of Vermont strong
and rapidly growing sentiment that
this is an excellent year to call halt
to this foolish promotion practice.
II any of the aspirants for the
Lieut.. Governorship, judging from
what they may consider a we'll es-
tablished precedent, think this time
to place his foot upon the Lieut.
Governorship stepping stone to the
Govefnorship pedestal, it is well that
notice be served upon him early that
such aspirations will not longer be
tolerated without a most vigorous
protest. Nothing can be claimed for
the promotion rule, except that it has
in a degree the sanction Of the past.
It is derogatory to the best interests
of the State. It tends towards the
abridgement of the perfect freedom
which the people should enjoy in the
choice Of their rulers. It savors
