Who was the Politicinns

They have some very funny politics in
Florida. our contemporary and name
sake, the Morning News Of Ocala, in a re-
cent issue, tells a story of politics and an
alleged pledge made by a very distin-
guished Florida politician that is laugha-
BILE. Yet it seems the pledge was made.
apparently. in all earnestness and was ac-
eepted in the same spirit. The pledge
we regret that the name Of the politician
was not given by our contemporary
was made in the last presidential cam
paign, and purports to have been offered
on behalf of Mr.. Cleveland.
After describing how the republican
corruptionists would be treated after Mr..
Cleveland's election. the remarkable, but
unnamed politician, went on to tell what
Mr.. Cleveland would do for his friends.
And here is part of the pledge: 'And
he VIII place in that great building dhe
government printing office a printing
press like the one which turns out the
New York World to weigh down the mails
and fiji the earth with democratic doc
trine. And, my friends he will hitch
that great engine 20 that great press and
he viii keep them both at work night
and day forever and forever And he
viii turn out, not one or two dollar bills,
but one hundred aud one thousand dol
lar bills. in great sheets the size of the
New York World. And around each one
of those bills will run lines of perfora-
tions like we see in postage stamps so
we can tear them off without trouble
And whenever we need them we can
write to our congressman and he will pay
the freight and send us sheets of those
great bills. and as we line up to the bars
in our villages or walk into Mr.. Flagler's
palatial hotels we can tear off a bill and
throw it down on the counter and call
loudly for the change in big round silver
dollars" 1t is needless to say the sheets
of $1,000 bills never reached Florida, no
matter whether the votes were delivered
as the politician desired or not Now, an
interesting question is. who was the
pleasing politician with the picturesque
imagination?
This question is all the more interesting
from the fact that this same politician,
so it is alleged, is paving the earth and
snorting defiance at the administration,
claiming that 1t has refused to keep its
pledges. The pledge he has in mind
doubtless is the one he made for it in the
last national campaign, and which is
quoted above.

Reunited by Diamond Ring.

At Winamac, Ind, by the accidental
dropping of diamond ring at the station
a husband and wife. who had been sepa-
ated forty years, were reunited last week
and they left together for Boston, says the
Washington Star. DR.. Charles Mott of
Boston stepped from the train to leave a
dispatch. As he walked toward his car a
woman leaned from the window OF anoth-
er car and asked the doctor to hand her a
diamond ring which had just slipped from
her finger, and was lying at his feet. DR..
Mott picked up the ring, and the inscrip-
ton on the inside read: Charles Mott to
Veral Burns" She cried out, Charles,
my husband"
In another moment DR.. Mott was clasp
ing in his arms the wife who fed from
him in anger forty years before.
In 1885 DR. Mott was a well-known ply
stefan of Boston. He fell in love with Miss
Neral Burns of South Canterbury, Conn,
and they were married. Mrs. Mott was
jealous. One stormy night, when her hus-
band had been detained very late by a
woman patient, the craZed wife determin-
ed to stand it no longer, and, packing a
few personal effects, she started out into
the storm. leaving no trace of her where
abouts For years the doctor sought for
his wife. He gave up his business and
travelled seeking trace of the woman who
had fled from him. AT last he gave up the
search, and sought fortune and forgetful-
ness in Montana He became very wealthy
and was on his way to New England to
visit the scenes of his childhood when the
happy accident occurred which reunited
him to his long-lost wife.

Not the NeW-FangIed BUS He
Thought 1t.

A man from an interior town of Ar
kansas came to Memphis the other day
to make some purchases for the old folks
at home, says the COmmercial-AppeaL Ar
ter he got through with his errand lie
took in the sights of the city, and after
walking around a good deal he got pretty
well tired out and looked around for a
mode of conveyance to take him to the
depot. Standing at the corner of Mon
roe street opposite the Peabody hotel, he
saw something to which a horse was at
tached that looked like a huge bus, ana
concluding that this was what ne wanted,
he stepped inside and waited for the We
hicle to start He looked with some sur
prise upon the lunch outfit. and said to
the man behind the counter:
Il thought we could give you fellers
across the river points on new schemes,
but, by ganny, you beat us all out. Never
saw a bus before where they served
lunches en- route What's the fareY-
ooh, we've got frankfurters. coffee,

the proprietor. This is a lunch cart and

The syndicntes of Operations.

A few days ago. when the stock market
broke and prices fell quite rapidly. it was
said that the bond syndicate had broken
the market in order to force another issue
of bonds. 1t turns out. however that, so
far from trying to bring about condition
of affairs that would make another bond
issue necessary, the syndicate's purpose
was to prevent our securities from being
returned from Europe, tempted by the pre-
vailing high prices 1t is said that bonds
were being sold by European holders be-
cause they could realize a big profit on
them. The sale of bonds in this country
by European holders meant, of course, a
drain on the treasury's gold, because gold
would have TO be shipped to pay for them.
1t is not known positively, of course, that
the syndicate had anything to do with
the break in the prices of securities, but
the fact that the securities of the South
ern railway were among those which de-
clined lent color to the belief that the
syndicate had something to do with re-
moving props from under prices.
Naturally the syndicate is somewhat dis
appointed at the lack of commercial bills
on the market. 1t was expected that these
bills would be plentiful by the middle of
September. The main reason why they
are not more plentiful is probably that the
cotton crop is about three weeks late. The
movement of cotton is increasing quite
rapidly now, however, and the supply of
foreign exchange is much greater. 1t may
soon equal the demand. and then we shall
have no more of gold shipments, for a
time, at least.

1t seems to be regarded as a fact that
Buck Taylor, late of Buffalo Bits show,
is going to Cuba to fight for the insur-
gents, Notwithstanding a denial which
appeared in print some days ago. Buck
has never been in a war, but he can throw
a lariat around the left hind foot of a
COW every time. while the COW is going
at her best speed. He can also pick up a
silver quarter from the ground while
his horse is at a full run. These ac-
complishments give promise that Buck
will make himself heard from when he
gets to the ever faithful isle. He may
lasso that Havana press bureau and
bring it to its knees. or may sweep by
on his fiery steed and pluck Campos from
the bosom of his friends before Campos
or the friends have time to think.

False Statements and Misrepresen-
tatfOns.


Corruption does not exist in politics
alone. The time was when people were
shocked 10 hear that such conditions pre-
vailed in politics, but worse than all else
is the fact that this evil should be carried
into the drug business and the sick be
made TO suffer in consequence thereof
For various reasons dealers allow them
selves TO be persuaded to stock up medi-
cines Of all sorts. TO be sold TO the sick on
the representation that they are just the
same as Simmons Liver Regulator
greater outrage has not been perpetrated
upon the people This has been the expe-
rience of many who have been duped by
these false statements. Take only The
Old Friend, Simmons Liver Regulator,
with the Red Z on every package, and
you'll get the medicine that did the old
folks so much good IN bygone days. It has
been kept up as their inheritance to the
present generation.

STABILITY of the distribution of a part of
the black population of the south in the

satisfactorily accomplished than immigra-
ton agents or philanthropists could do it.

''Fund the Floating DebtY

There is no lack of gold'in the country
Tor all the purposes for which gold is
desirable. Neither it's export nor its i'm
port under ordinary conditions would
occasion uneasness. 1t flows like any
other commodity in the direction where
Its use is most profitable. But the gov
eminent of the United States has fool
lshly put itself in the position of main
tanning a floating debt of S497, 900 900
(SloO, ,0S9 of Sherman treasury notes
and $S46, 6S1.0l6 of greenbacks) which it
IS obliged to redeem in gold on demand
For the purposes of redemption it has
been the policy of the treasury to keep
on hand about one dollar in gold for
every five dollars of demand notes. AS
the notes are reissued as fast as they
are redeemed a perpetual means has
been established by law to keep the treas
ury in hot water and to keep business
IN state of uncertainty and embroil-
ment. There should be an end of this
folly. The way to end it is to fund the
floating debt by an issue of long term
low interest bonds. Once get the gov
eminent out of the banking business and
there would be no further anxiety about
the gold supply. We are digging out
of the ground every year enough to
replace the excess of exports over i'm
ports.
