Well, well WELT! The New Capt.
tol actually admits to making a mis-
take in saying that General Bullock
acted as master of ceremonies in in
Producing Senator Call last Saturday,
and then goes on to say: "But we
are reminded Of our mistake by coll
umn article in the Times-Union from
the individual who did the ceremo-
NOUS act This it knows to be a
downright liei 1t knows that the sim
dividualn who introduced Senator
Call is not the Ocala correspondent of
the Times-Union and was not the au-
thor of the article in question. Then
it pretends to believe that the ssindi-
vidual'' who made the Introductory
speech was not the author of it. On
this point 1t says: This article (the
specify consisted of history, logic,
rhetoric and manly expressions for
which the hearers would think it orig
mated in the most brilliant mind.n
Then it adds: I'VE did not hear it,
therefore cannot name the author
1t lies just the same about things it
knows as about things it don't know.
In this particular art of spurious Jour-
nalism 1t is always on top.

lha War on s liver.

Harpers' Weekly is moved to say
that the "silver phanthsy is in its dec
adence.n 1.-THE raid on good mon
ey," it says, is over" To which the
Cincinnati Enquirer replies: mo
such differences can be drawn from the
deliverances of state and congressional
conventions of any political party ?
So far as we have been able to ascertain
the trend of public opinion, the senti-
ment in favor of the full remonetiza-
ton of silver is gaining in volume and
strength every day. The political con-
ventions do not and dare not declare
in favor of banishing silver as money
and of making gold the only legal ten
der. There are in both parties gold
monomentalists, but they are too en-
vious of party success to come to the
front and insist upon Incorporating
their views in party platform. The
miserable sneaks have not the courage
to Internationally condemn silver
money. Instead of decadence of
the ''silver phantasy," the "craze, y
the public sentiment in favor of sill
yer, it has more friends to-day than
on any other day since it was surrep-
titiously dropped from coinage. The
people are fast learning that it is the
out-lawry of silver and not protection
or free trade that is paralyzing every
industry, shrinking the values of real
and personal property (except bonds,
notes and D1Ortgages), depriving labor
of employment and of living wages.
The rank and file of each of the par
ties are anxious to champion silver
reconciliation first. Party leaders are
cautious, timid, cowardly and are hes
itating and making platforms which
can be interpreted either way.

The rev tariff bill provides for 2
per cent tax on incomes amounting to
$4,000 and over, and it is estimated
that the receipts from this source will
amount after the first year to about
$30,000,000. The new tariff bill re-
peals the sugar bounty law and saves
upward of Sl3,0O0,0O0 on this score.
1t puts on the free list more than a
hundred items of necessity which, I'M
der the Mckinley tariff, have been
heavily taxed. Among these items
are salt, lumber, twine, copper, gram
bags, plows, reapers, mowers, harves-
tiers, threshing machines and other
farm implements. The new tariff is
a big step towards the reform to which
the democratic party is pledged.

Innocence Easily Satisfied.

The editor of the good Baptist Wit
ness is an innocent in politics. He
has written a letter to Mr.. Sparkman
anent the Honduras lottery and Mr..
Sparkman replies as follows:
IF am elected to Congress shall represent
and carry out to the best of my ability the wishes
of the people of my district
Whereupon the good Baptist Wit
ness shouts: "Good for Mr.. Spark
manw Could Mr.. Sparkman have
written less? Could he have said: eff

sent and shall not carry out the wishes
of the people of my districtu'

entirely too innocent for this wicked
world of ours. He is too easily salts

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times says that the Pres
ident's dignity prevented him from
signing the tariff bill and this dignity
cost the country just one million dol
lars per day. Ibis correspondent says !:
Cleveland gains no blame for tariff.
He should, but he doesn't. It'sdoubt-
ful ii Cleveland gains much blame
hereafter for anything he may do or
move for, no matter how bad and in
defensible it may be. The king can
do do wrong. Cleveland has achieved
his apotheosis. His halo dazzles the
eye Of criticism. And yet Cleveland
bungled tariff and botched il from the
beginning. He hid when he should
have been seen. He was silent when
he should have spoken. He wrote let
tiers when he should have done moth
ing of the sort, and to talking after all
was lost. Then ne pouted and sulked
because German beat him. His long
wait after the bill was passed was
nothing but case of sulks. There
was no reason for it bigger than pins
head. This great little man was sore,
and all of this useless, costly delay
waiting was just his idea of being
dignified. And while he was nursing
his dignity Havemeyer was rushing in
whole cargOes of sugar free, whiskey
was being taken out of bond at 80
cents. And by these sugar and whis-
key tricks the treasury lost over &c.
000, 900 which the sugar trust and
whiskey ring made. Cleveland's sulky
grandeur cost the treasury $4,000, 900
of revenue and gave it to the sugar
declaring the public to have no taste
for economy or strict business. Once
when in Grants time the white, house
stipend was notched up from $25, 900 to
$50, 900, the people howled themselves
hoarse at the outrage. And yet no one
will think twice about Cleveland's
Buzzard's Bay tariff pout which lost
the treasury much-needed $1,000, 900.
Still, if any one will but consider, that
lost $40, 000, 900 which went to the
trusts instead of the treasury would
pay that $50, 900 salary we all roared at
so resentfully for just 200 years to
come. No, the public belief is that
Cleveland was beaten by German,
| that he was beaten by his own mis-
| takes and lack of skill, and the weak
ness of his ways and means selection
Wilson; that he was fighting for no
great principle when defeated, and
that free coal and iron, as against 40
cents ton on coal and iron, meant
merely the Whitney syndicate against
the German ring; that after he was
| defeated by German instead of rous-
ing himself in manly fashion to veto
or to sign the bill he preferred to pout
and sulk at public expense of an
even $l,000,00O day. And still,
while all this is true, and people know
| it, it is to be doubted if it lowers
Cleveland in the general estimation a
| whit. 1t would bury anyone alive,
but not Cleveland. It's like going
to some fond, fatuous mother with
complaints about her spoiled, darling
child. AS with the mother and the
| spoiled young one, so with the public
and the spoiled Cleveland; they are
cases without law. No rules apply.

The Attorney in Politics.


An article BY Mr.. VIM. Hogan, pub
lished in the Scimitar, deals with 4
question of importance 10 US all as
Americans. Mr.. Hogan shows that
the attorney is very much in politics
in this country-indeed, is the domi-
nant factor, and by reason of such
dominance controls the legislatures,
both state and national.
THE fifty-third congress Excluding
vacanciesl consists of AL members in
both houses, s. senators and $50 repre-
sentatives., There are IS lawyersint the
senate, about IS per cent. of the whole
number, and 229 lawyers in the house,
nearly GA per cent. Add to these the
chief executive and the vice-presi-
dent, and out of members of the
cabinet, and we have 296 lawyers out
of total of AL members of the legis-
lative, administrative and executive
departments of the national govern
ment-nearly 66 per cent. Is per cent.
more than majority.
at has been well said that the mind
and moral sentiment of the American
people are not represented in congress.
The government is below the mental
and moral sentiment of the Masses
Taking an impartial view of the stu
alton, a reasonable person would come
to the conclusion that the time has ar
rived when our lawmakers and rulers
should be chosen from some other as
well as the lawyer class. Not that at
torneys are essentially unsound or
more corrupt than others, but all can
see how we are drifting under their
almost exclusive control. Looking at
the composition of the British House
of Commons we find only % attor-
neys and solicitors out of $40 men,
bers-S1 per cent. as compared with
"a per cent in our lower house. Out
of II members of the British cabinet
there is but one lawyer.
Right or wrong the masses in Eng
land do not favor the special pleader'
as a champion of their claims, and
they practically exclude him from the
house of commons"
Continuing, Mr.. Hogan argues that
lawyers, in dealing with the practical
questions of legislation, are hampered
by their reverence for precedent and
the habit of special pleading, which
causes them to take narrow and one
sided view of the merits of the mat
ters under consideration. But as re-
CARDS the number of lawyers in our
legislatures and congress, we would
suggest that the evil that they do re-
suits not SO much from professional
environment and training as from the
fact that many of them are but sorry
| representatives of their class. Com
paratively few really competent law
yers go into politics on their own ac-
count.

Senator Call delivered his usual stereotyped
speech.--New Capitol
On Saturday Senator Call delivered his usual
stereotyped speech.-Free Press.
Really, when these neghborly organs
quote approvingly from each other
proper credit should be given. But
this seems to be a favorite and stereo-
typed criticism of Senator Calls
speeches by his feeble defamers all
over the state and is becoming so
stale that it begins to smell. The
New Capitol dished out the same pu-
trid stuff and was not even present at
the meeting. This want of originality
indicates weakness in the cause they
are engaged in and they should get up
something fresher or quit the chase.
