Republicans Have n Lively Conven-
ton and Name Candidates.
Ocala, Fla. Sept. 12.-The ''Smuh' re-
publican club a week ago met and dis
cussed the propriety of placing a republic
can county ticket in the field. Much opposi-
ton was developed, but finally majority
decided it should be done, and the con-
vention was called for yesterday. Rev.
Wilkinson presided. A committee of nine
were out three hours and decided on can
didates only to find that the convention
could only indorse DR.. Asher Of Belle
view, white, and Louis Kasmenski of Sill
yer Springs, black, for the legislature.
Capt. McDavid, white, of Flewship, was
named for tax assessor, but his friends
say he will decline. Clifford Livingston,
white was named for county school com
missioner of the Ocala district, but de-
clined. ri Gov q, ,o-. .g, w. ''--!i

BRIrArN's POLICY IN TURKEY.
Active Intervention Threatened in
Case of New Massacres.


London, Sept. 12-The orders issued to
the British squadron, under Admiral Sey-
mour, to rendezvous at Saionica in octo-
Der are distinctly connected with the
change in British policy toward the porte,
which marked the arrival Of Sir Philip
Currie, the British ambassador, in Con
stantlnople. Sir Philip, without ostenta-
tiously declaring a more active and iso-
lated English policy, has conveyed the
impression TO other European diplomats
at Constantinople that thenceforth Eu-
ropean concert would be adhar-
ed to by England only so
far as 1t agreed with purely
English policy. There must be no more
massacres of Christians or Mosiem mob
riotings, nor MEETINGS to general murder,
without practical intervention by England,
with or without the approval OF the other
powers. The game which Russian diplo-
macy played under Prince Lobanoff's art
full hand, OF paralyzing all interference in
the sultans mlsdoings until the time be-
came ripe for the utter ruin of Turkey to
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Russia, seems
about to end.

QUEER EFFECT OF MUzzLEs.
Their Enforced Use Has Changed
the Breed of LondOn's Dogs.

From the London News.
The muzzling order has now been SO
long in operation that one is able to SEQ
its practical results, at all events so far
as London is concerned They are really
very remarkable, especially from point
of view not likely to be Immediately taxi

The supremacy Of the fox terrier is
gone. One misses the little, vivid white
spots that moved about so quickly and
made streets and thoroughfares gay, and,
1t must be admitted, noisy Most of these
dogs were mongrels. and, being of no APP
probable value, and probably of no clearly
defined ownership, they passed quickly
In wholesale way into the lethal cham
bers. London is rid of them, but at all
our towns, the white terrier with the odd
markings is still in the ascendant.
on the other hand, here In town we
have the Irish and the Scotch. These arc
as yet pretty pure; they keep rather to
themselves, after the manner of the pro-
vincials, but in a couple of years mongrel-
ism will assert itself, and London will be
overrun. As 1t is, the hardy little Aber-
deem, with his long body, short legs, and
nodescript markings of black and gray
and mustard, holds the street, and tho
Irish terrier loafs about, social and easy
going
They are both excellent in their own
way, but, for all that, one misses the
sharp, quick vitality of the fox terrier.
Even as a mongrel, he seemed to concern

qualities, especially fidelity and hatred OF

SAVED BY HIS PIGTAIL.
John Cbinaman Was After Cooking

John Cbinaman Was After Cooking
and Came Near Being Cooked.
From the ST. James Gazette.
John Chinaman has penetrated even to
the heart Of Matebeleland. At least there
is one adventurous Chinee who reached
there, and who now owes his life TO his
pigtail and the quaint personal peculiar
tiles Of his race. He was on his way to
a certain mining district TO act as cook.
etc, to some prospectors when the pres
ent disturbances began. Poor "Pigtail'
found that to continue his journey or to
return would be rather risky, but decid-
ed on the latter plan. He had passed the
remains Of many murdered whites lying
along the road, when he was overtaken
by some ten or twelve Matabele bloods on
murder bent, and armed in various ways.
on reaching him and finding that he was
not a "Beoongar" or white man, they
consulted among themselves and finally.
after circling round the celestial one in
a hesitating manner, they drew nearer.
and, with respectful awe, touched him to-
make sure that he was in reality flesh and
blood He was certainly neither Cape

To be up to the mark a bicyclist should
convert his machine into an aeolian harp
by stringing rubber bands across the
frame. The wind striking these bands
gives out musical sounds which can be
heard for quite a distance, and are quite
pleasing to the ear. This is the latest fad.

or procure to be written, large aamoes f

They would best subserve the purpose
if drawn up in the form of a catechisrn,
of which l append a specimen:
O.-What is the fundamental conten-
ton of the free-coinage advocates!
A.--That the amount of money in cir
culation has been decreasing since the
demonstration of silver, and that this
decrease has caused general fall In
prices.
has been decreasing?
Alt is not.
Q-What are the facts?
A.-As far as the United States is con-
cerned there has been an enormous in
crease. In 1860 the money in circula-
f in 1872 81 tit It w eoant sEss 4e By tn:
present month of July it was s1,5o9, 1885,
Q.-What does this show?
Alt shows that our money supply
has increased 240 per cent. as compared
pared with 1872.
Q.-Has the money supply increased
faster than the population?
Avery much faster.
Q.-How do you prove this
A.-By dividing the total money in
circulation at each date by the total
population of the country at the same
date, and thus finding the circulation per
capita.
Q.-What does such a process show?
A.-The per capita circulation of the

at the beginning of July in 1896 it was
Q.-But has not the money supply OF
the world at large been decreasing?
A.-On the contrary, it has been in
creasing rapidly.
| Q.-How is this proved?
A.--By the statistics of new gold pro-
duction.
Q.-How large has this production
| A-The reports of the director of the
mint, which are acknowledged authority,
show that from 1878 to 1894, inclusive.
the worlds total new gold production has

Q.-Is this product of gold in

| Alt is increasing with enormous ra-
pidity.

$199, 100000
Q.-What does this mean?
| Alt means that the amount of gold

| supply has more than doubled in the last
| twenty three years.
| Q.-But has not the issue of silver

Not content with the Inauguration of
the ruinous policy which has brought
down the wages of the laborer and the
price of farm products, its advocates now
offer a new policy which will diminish
the value of the money in which wages
and prices are paid.
Our trouble is not with the character
of the money that we have, but with the
threat to debase it. We have the same
the world over, and unquestioned by any
people. Then. too, we had unexampled
credit and prosperity.
The platform adopted by the Repub-
ican National Convention has received
my careful consideration, and has my I'M
qualified approval 1t is a matter of
qualification to me, / am sure it must
be to you and Republicans every
where and to all our people, that the ex-
pressions of its declaration of principles
are direct, clear and emphatic. They
are too plain and positive to leave any
chance for doubt or question as to their
purport and meaning.
The employment of the idle money we
already have, in gainful pursuits will
put every idle man in the country at
work. and when there is work there ia
wages, and when there are work and
wages there are consumers who consti-
tute the best market for the products of
our soil.
The money of the United States. and
every kind and form of it, whether of
