Incomplete Returns Places Bloxham's
 Majority at ss,ooo
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 8.-The counting of the vote of Florida is pro- gressing slowly and unsatisfaetorily on account of this being the fist vote un- der the Australian ballot law Returns are greatly delayed, and thus far so meager that no more can be sad than that the Democrats claim plurality of 10000. while the Republicans claim Bloxham. the Democratic candidate for governor, will not have more than 12,- 900 plurality Both claims are guesses.
 Eighteen counties partly heard from, give Bloxham, Democrat, 10000 major ity over Gunby, Republican. The indi- cations are that Bloxham will have 8 plurality of g, 900 votes in the state.
 From the returns received it is diff ficult to base an estimate as to how the next legislature will stand for senator, except that Senator Calls followers will be greatly in the minority. The majority will probably be divided be- tween several candidates.

morning, is this, that the government does not create money and that what ever money it needs, it has to collect rom taxes, either by system of direct taxation or by T system of indirect taxa. tion known as the tariff, and that if the government wants to have any gold and silver minted for its own use, it has to pay for that gold and silver inst as you and 1 would have to pay for it if we wanted it fer our purposes.
 1.-The idea that the government can create wealth is mere myth. There is nothing that can create wealth ex- cept labor. Is it easier to raise th;s money by direct taxation by taxing the people in their occupation, on their property and on their lands, or is it not better to raise it by putting the tax upon foreign products that come into this country to seek market in the United Sta es ?n

Lee Williams, a Iiegro of this ety. is the owner of several hogs, which, in violation of city ordinance, he has allowed to run atlarge. Yester- day an officer came across the hogs roaming the streets at their own sweet will, so he proceeded to drive them toward the city pound.
