Can we afford to support six or
eight saloons in our city another
year
This is question now confront
ing our citizens. Already the
liquor dealers are around, ask
ing you to sign the petitions legal
izing them 10 deal in the deadly
poison another year.
There is many a man in our
midst who cannot resist the temp
tation to use intoxicating drinks
placed where they are so easyto be
obtained, but who can not afford
the indulgence. Every drink that
he takes robs his home of some
comfort, and perhaps necessity,
besides having an injurious effect
on himself, both mentally and
physically.
Let us try one year the expert
ment of refusing the petitioners,
and do all that we can to lift up the
victims of the liquor habit, and see
what will be the result.
Scarcely day passes but we see
some one fall victim to whisky.
Only few days ago we saw a
man-some ones father, perhaps
loaded into one of our city carts
and earned off to the cooler. The
saloon men were through with
him. They had, safe to say, all of
his money, and he was carried
through our streets like any poor
brute, to be dumped out of sight.
Not a week has passed since our
fellow townsman, H. V. Goss, a
young man in the prime of life, nat
urally kind-hearted and intellectual,
and one who might have been a
useful factor in the cause of soci-
ETY., but who, like many others in
our midst, was not able to resist
the temptation, lost his life
through the habit which causes
very large per cent of the acct
dents and crimes in our land.
How long will we submit to
such evils and close our eyes to
these things?

One of the best-we came near
saying the best-ways in which
to make the meetings of the Ocala
Temperance Reform Club more
attractive on Sunday afternoons
is to have better music. We have
good music but we want better.
We need more singers. There is
no estimating the amount of good
calculable to result from the in
spiration of song arising from
many hearts and voices. Let us
have better music-not occasion
ally, but all the time.

RISING REVERSED.

When attorney Chartz appeared
before Judge Rising some weeks ago
and asked for a recount Of the ballots
in The case of Schneider VS. Bray,
Judge Rising listened 10 him inst one
minute and then threw the case out of
Court on the rather frivolous grounds
that the ballots were not good evil
dence
Yesterday the Supreme Court by a
unanimous decision reversed Rising.
by taking the common sense as w II
as common law view that the ballots
were the best possible evidence.
The lawyers who had such hearty
laugh over Chartz appealing to the
Supreme Court are not indulging in
SO much merriment now
The Silver men have been advanc-
ing step by step. and those ballots in
the second precinct will he counted
as the APPEAL always claimed they
would. If they are correct a number
of persons so long under cloud will
be vindicated. If they are wrong it is
high time that their character was
known. The APPEAL congratulates
Mr.. ChartZ on winning his first case.

county, to Lake Tahoe, and making
modest compensation for commits
ioner to carry out the purposes If this
act.
Lake Tahoe is one Of the great nat
ural scenic spots of California, and
there ure many reasons why the State
should make a. moderate expenditure
to increase its acc Utility. As mat.
ters are now, parties reaching the
southern end Of the lake by the old
Placerville and Carson stage road are
compelled to go around the eastern or
Nevada side of the axe to Glen rock
and thence across the divide to Carson
City. Mr.. Swisler's hill provides frr
a road on the western or California
side Of the lake, SO that the tourist
may have his ch ice of routes.
This is not commercial scheme.
Lake Tahoe is not Il place OF residence,
unless it be for IL few weeks. or, at
most, months in the summer, and its
business is just about equal 10 that
done in the Yosemite valley or the
Grand Canyon of the Co "rado. The
State is asked to extend its hospitality
to travellers and tourists, and, that too,
on a very limited and modest scale,
md there would seem no good reason
why Mr.. Swisler's bill should not he
adopted without opposition.
1t would be easy to become enthusi-
astic if not eloquent over Lake Tahoe.
but the beauties and glories OF that
splendid sheet OF water have been di-
lated upon so often that nothing gem
timely new can be said. This much.
however, we may say, that Tahoe has
suffered in a great measure by rea-
son Of its comparative inacces-ibi itN +,
and that Mr.. Swissler's bill is n'Ove
in the direction Of getting rid Of that
obstacle to its popularity.

The Virginia Chronicle has the fol
owing:
The V. & T. journalistic satellite
still persists in illbread language to
offer to bet the Chronicle man" that
he is liar for saying that the Enter
prise is backed by the railroad"
The Chronicle man will cover the bet
at once il the morning sheet will
agree that the following proposed evil
dence be taken as proof Of the truth OF
the declaration that the Enterprise is
backed by the railroad" The sworn
statement of a witness to whom the
alleged lessee Of the paper declared
that the sheet was "backed by the
railroad" The witness will swear
that the manager Of the concern told
him that the paper was backed by
the railroad"
This is not the only evidence which
can be offered to prove the fact aver.
red. 1t is VIGOROUSLY known that dur
ing the recent railroad strike an official
Of the V. & T. road acted as telegraph
Gems r for the paper and laboriously
weeded the dispatches Of all matter
which might have proved offensive to
the sensitive prejudices of its readers.
It is not to be presumed that this gen.
tleman would have performed the ser
vice named if the paper were not
backed by the railroad" The inter-
est that actuated him was the welfare
Of the V. st. His labors were given
during a crisis. when the paper which
ia so quick to hurl impolite epithets,
and then whine for being beaten with
its own sticks, had none SO peculiarly
qualified in its employ as to be trusted
to the execution Of so momentous a
function as he assumed. The Incl
dent showed a relationship so init
mate that it would warrant the asscr-
ton that the paper is not only backed
but fronted, founded. grounded and
owned body, boots and breeches by
the V. & T.
Furthermore, it is fact that one
Of the highest officials Of the V. q L.
solicited patronage for the paper in
San Francisco. He is gentleman or
large business interests, and it may
be safely promised that he would not
devote his valuable time to the bust
ness Of a one-horse newspaper il the
newspaper was not part Of his con-
Germ.
Between the Enterprise dufer and
the V. & T. there have probably never
been any articles Of mutual assistance
and support drawn up and signed but
the extreme intimacy in all their re-
lations. which savors Of the thickness
of three in a bed, is the most conclu-
sive proof of the utinity of their in
terests.
We would like to take the bet in
question, but the V. & t. organ would
no doubt want us to prove our asser-
ton by the word of the Almighty.

some time, the proprietress announced
that dinner was ready.
"She waited on me herself, and while
repeating the oral bill of fare, said:
I've prepared especially for you fine

ers don't know anything about the deli
ciousness of sweet-potato pie, and l
made it just to-day for your benefit

ing to resume his studies, Slarsley gave
him letter, saying: This will get you
a pass to Kansas City. Good luck TO
you. Come back here next year if you
want job"
But Medby never came back. After
completing his course in mechanical
engineering he at once entered the EN-
ploy of a big machinery manufacturing
concern, and has been steadily pro-
NOTED until now he gets almost as much
pay as Marsley. Meanwhile many of the
handy contrivances he fixed for US at

The victory had hardly been gained

almost ruined the Horseshoe ranch, and
Marsley knew it well.

The Horseshoe Ranch-so called be-

eastern men who had never seen it, but

their property in the southwest.

these fits he sent us Satan; in another

Satan was fine Hereford bull. He
was docile enough at first, but as sum-

vicious. No doubt he suffered by the
change from rich, tree-shaded pasture
to the uneven range. all exposed to

Medby came with a letter of introduce

that the youth was student of fair

that Marsley could give Medby some
employment. Marsley was not in good
humor when he received the letter, for
he had just been having trouble with
Satan.
The directors courteous phrases
would have counted for little had Med

ranch-60 miles-in two days.
There was no speaking harshly to the

would hear of his resignation with regret.
The vacancy for the two-year term was
caused by the retirement of John r..
Toole. Agar ago Mr.. Toole was elected
for three years, but as he was in California
at the time of the election he failed to
qualify within the 10 days required ny law
and a vacancy resulted. Mss Thomson,

pointed Mr.. Toole, which appointment is
