MAYORALTY AND WHY.

The question has been asked,
why is the bank opposing Judge
Bullock for mayor 1t may be be-
cause his expression on what seems
not the best fnancieripg of the
city funds, that Is the answer.
The city has in the bank $4,000
drawing interest at 4 per cent.
with no security, and something
like two thousand dollars besides
drawing no interest, and Judge
Bullock has frequently insisted
that, inasmuch as the bank has
large amount of city's scrip, it
would be no hardship to request
deposit of at least $4,000 of this
scrip as collateral 1t was certain
ly poor business to make such
contract. See how it turns out.
The scrip is presented to the
city treasurer, and having no funds
is protested and then bears inter-
est at the rate of eight per cent.
At that time scrip was low, from
Is to 70 cents.
Take this $4,000 Of the city's
money and invest it in scrip at 70
cents and in round numbers it pro-
duces So, 500 bearing interest at s
percent produces $500 in round
numbers. We get $3.50 and we
pay $500 for the privilege OF loan
ing it to the bank without security.
Taxpayers of Ocala. how long will
you remain blind aud dumb?
Does the reason appear why the
bank opposes Bullock?

superintendent and manager of the
Ocala Water Works, has done a
great deal in the wa of public i'm
provements and has thoroughly
demonstrated on many occasions
that be has the best interests of
Ocala at heart. He is public spir-
tied to marked degree and well
fitted for the honorable position.
Both men are eminently justified
for the position to which they as
pire, but both cannot be elected.
Voters and tax payers are urged to
study well the merits of the two
men az well as thercquirements of
the office and then vote for the
man who in their judgment Is best
fitted TO fill all the requirements
of a mora, progressive, public
spirited and wide awake mayor.

FROM NEW YORK.

New York, December 4th, 1896.
Editor Ocala Evening Star,
Ocals, Fla. Daar Sir:-I notice
that Mrs. Beatrice Marean, Of your
city, gives to Ex-chief Campbell
her unqualified endorsement for
the Office Ct mayor. What she
says about his unselflish interest
in the fireman, and his devotion
TO his city's welfare 10 very true,
in fact | hardly think she puts the
case strong enough.
When Chief Campbell attended
the convention of the International
Association of Fire Engineers at
Montreal, in August 1914, he made
a display of Ocala products that
was the admiration and wonder of
all who knew but little of Florida
and her resources. His constant
talk was about the wonderful city
of Ocala, and he did more at that
meeting to advertise and attract
attention to his state and city than
all the books that have ever been
published.
His unselhsh devotion and IN
firing efforts On behalf of Ocala
deserve recog milton and reward.
1t is not my purpose to interfere
in your home flaws, but this slight
tribute is due to Mr.. Campbell
from those Of US in the NORTH who
have met him and know him and
will be delighted to see him hon.
ored as he deserves.
FIaternally Yours,

OUR BOND ISSUE.

AT an adjourned meeting of the
city council on last Friday evening
the question of issuing city bonds
for the redemption. of our scrip
came up for consideration. After
considerable discussion, a resolu-
ton was adopted instructing the
finance committee to prepare q
statement setting forth the amount
of the outstanding scrip and judg-
ments against the city and submit
the most feasible plan for bringing
the bond question before the peo-
pie. The present council is unan-
imous in carrying out the scheme
of changing our financial system
to a cash basis. tits their purpose
to adjust the matter at as early a
date as possible and it is hoped
that the work they have begun in
this line will be carried to compile
ton by the incoming council.

MR.. LYMAN REINSTATED

Some days ago the police com
mittee of council suspended Police
Officer Lyman on account of his
recent shooting and alleged killing
of the inmate of a gambling den
willis resisting arrest a few days
ago, a full account of which has
been published. This action was
taken by the committee pending
an Investigation by the council.
It was also done by the request of
Mr.. Lyman himself who did not
wish to longer serve as police Of
ficer if he had overstepped his du-
tY. On Friday night the matter
was fully Investigated and the of
fcer exonorated from all blame and
reinstated TO his place on the force.
Mr.. Lyman has proven himself
one of the most faithful and effic-
irnt officers this city has ever had
on the force. He has had some
very hard cases to handle, and on
many occasions has had narrow
escapes with his life; but he has
never yet been known 10 fmch
from MS duty, and law-breakers
hold him in mortal terror.

TEMPERANCE NEE rINGS.

Large crowds attended the
Beauchamp temperance meetings
yesterday. At 5 o'clockin the at
ternoon the young peoples societies
of the different churches held
union meeting in Witness hall at
which Mr.. Beauchamp made a
most appropriate and timely ad-
dress. In the evening the union
church services were held in the
Baptist church. Every seat was
occupied. After a short praise
service Mr.. Beauchamp delivered a
gospel temperance lecture that
was certainly a treat to those
present. He dwelt on the relation
of the church members to the bal
lot and madea vivid portrayal of
the effects of indifference among
church members to the great
question. The meetings will be
continued tonight in Witness hall,

THE WILMERDING SCHOOL.

The suggestion to combine the Wilmer
ding School with the Lick School OF Me-
chanical Arts offers solution of many of
the difficulties that have presented them
selves in regard to the establishment of
that institution. The Wilmerding bequest
of 100000 is hardly sufficient to develop
the usefulness so greatly desired for the
institution. The Lick bequest is $540 900.
OF this amount $115, 900 was expended in
starting a school, leaving S425, 900 as per-
manent fund for its maintenance. This is
none too large, but it is about S140, 900
more than would be left in the Wilmer
ding fund if the proposed school be set up
on a scale of excellence equal to that of the
Lick. This, of course, would not produce
as good results as would be posi- bic under
some plan of com bining the two schools.
The details of the proposed combination
are that the regents of the State University,
who are the trustees of the Wilmerding
bequest, lease one of the two excellent
buildings of the Lick School and erect an
additional house in the near vicinity, the
two schools to be then conducted so as to
be mutually helpful. AS the Lick is more
for theoretical instruction than the Will
Was 1HlGHucu W Dt edCu SCHOOL
can be made a complement of the other
and an aid to the others efficiency. This
suggestion has received an added interest
from the recent movement to locate the
Southslde High School in the Immediate
vicinity of the proposed combined schools
of industrial art.
The placing of the Wilmerding School
anywhere but in San Francisco would be
subversion of its purpose. 1t was clearly
the intention of the founder that the
school should be located here, and it is
equally clear that in no other locality in
the State could such school be advan-
tageousiy and conveniently used by so
many students Several sites have been
offered in the City, and each has its pc
culiar advantages. 1t will be the duty of
the regents to weigh these and select the
site that is likely to conduce most to the
fulfllment of the will of the founder
that of providing the best training possible
for the greatest number of boys and girls
in trades that will enable them to be
self-supporting, helpfal citizens of the
community.

THE NEGLECTED. LECTURE.

Professor Barnes recently stated that the
lecture Is no longer so popular as formerly
and that those given under the auspices Of
the California Academy of Sciences had
been sadly neglected. This is the more
remarkable by reason of the fact that the
lecturers. supplied largely from the corps
OF able teachers in the Stanford and Berke-
ley universities, were conspicuously intel
llgent men and thorough masters of the
useful subjects which they treated.
Professor Barnes is right; the lecture is
no longer popular method for the educa-
ton OF the masses. The reasons for the
TACT are obvious. One is that it Is impos-
slble for any lecturer to present the whole
OF an important subject in the course of an
hour or two. and the other is that the orig
NAL high function of the platform has
been degraded into show-place for the
exhibition of notorious personages.
Lecturlng in schools is very different
matter. There the lecturer has year in
which to present his subject, leading his
classes steadily on while his theme en-
larges and natures. The casual lecture of
instruction to the public must be either
sadly manned condensation, lacking pro-
portion, perspective and comprehen sive-
ness, or mere slice out of the heart of the
subject. The wonderful cheapness of the
printing-press has made books accessible
to all, and the wise student knows that
lectures are wofully inadequate as COM
pared with books. There are many per-
sons not sufficiently developed intellectu-
ally to have mastered the art of learning
from books and magazines. They are the
primitive members of society and as such
they can learn through the ear better than
through the eye. But it is evident that in
their case the subjects presented must be
correspondingly simple-must be confined
to the very rudiments of knowledge-or
they will be listened to unhe eeded.
The mistake of most scientific lecturers
is that they do not comprehend the situa-
ton. The earnest student knows that the
memory of the ear is unreliable with
books he has constant and ready means
of correcting errors by reference. He is
aware that lecture is merely an oral essay
and knows that if he has the essay in
print to be studied and criticized line by
line, he has a reliable guide that discredits
the spoken word. The lecture was useful
before books became plentiful and cheap,
but the printing press has reduced it to
folly.
