SPANS NOTE.
HAS REACHED THE STATE DEPARTMENT.

HAS REACHED THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED.
Washington, Nov. 5.-The full text OF
the Spanish reply to the note of United
States Minister Woodford reached the
State Department in the last mail, and is
now under examination by the officials.
So far as can be learned it is not the in
tention Of the Administration to give it
to the public now, so that the interest of
people must be satisfied at present with
more or less official statements emanat-
ing from Madrid as to the character Of
the Spanish note.
1t is expected that the President will
make this note and the correspondence
leading up to 1t, the basis for one of the
most important chapters in his forthcom-
ing message to congress upon the reas-
sembling OF that body in December next,
and now it is not believed to be probable
that any radical change in policy will
characterize the correspondence between
the two countries unless something I'M
foreseen occurs.

When did State ever have such an
era of jollifcation as that which is now
shaking Florida from centre to circum-
ference? 1t has been one long thanks
giving since the Pensacola Fair, and it
will not end with Jacksonvlle's Gala
Week. 1t is reported that last month in
Wakulla county baby was born laugh
Ing and threatened to die laughing: the
doctor said 1t was Mysteries, and the
mother was in despair till the little fell
low accidentally saw sample copy or the
Ocala Banner. Immediately the smile
died away. the lips puckered up, and it
began to cry vigorously and weep as II it
had been struck by an internal earth
quake. And that is how the Banner did
some good, as we are glad to record.-T.-

PRES. McKINLEY'S SATISFACTION.

In an interview few days ago Presi-
dent Mckinley said: II am well pleased
with the elections. as they indicate that
fealty to the republican party and the
principles it represents are as strong as
ever"
The President must take view Of the
political situation wholly different from
that taken by the great majority of peo-
pie. Last year he carried the State Of
New York by very large majority. This
year the democratic party carried 1t by a
plurality of more than $4,000 votes. Last
year he carried Ohio by majority so
large that there was strong suspicion
that many fraudulent republican votes
were cast in that state. This year the
majority for governor was greatly reduced
and it is question whether the democrats
will not have majority of the legislature
thus preventing the Presidents friend
and political manager Mark Hanna from
being elected to the Senate. With the
result of the elections in these two states,
New York and Ohio, before him, 1t is diff
fcult to understand how the President
can be pleased with the elections.
The truth is. the people are tired of the
bosssm of Patt in New York and Hanna
I'm Ohio, and they are tired of the Dingley
tariff. They were told that all that him
dered return Of prosperity was the fail
ure of the revenues to meet the expenses
of the Government, and so the republicans
passed the Dingley bill. which. they said
would so increase the revenue that there
would be no deficits after it became oper-
alive. 1t has been In operation four months
and the deficit each month has grown
steadily larger. For the four months il
amounts to s3S 100000. At that rate it will
reach sll3, 100000 by the time the Dngley
law has been in operation twelve months
In what year since the war Of secession
has 1t been so large?
We cannot see what there is in the cleo
tion to please the President. From our
point Of view there is sufficient in them
to cause him great uneasincss for his pO-
litical future and the futurcof his ;party.

After pickering for awhile the light Of
the Ocala News went ont Saturday for
ever, Rev. j. C. Porter, proprietor of the
Baptist Witness and Daily. Star, at Ocala
having purchased the News plant. The
News was never much OF a newspaper
and gave evidence Of indiscretiOn and
weakness when it championed the cause
of man who had attempted, as MEM
Der of the late Legislature, to pass law
to deprive newspapers of business and
their legitimate compensation. The News
is the first paper to die since for the want
of business. Metropolis.

A SEARCHER OF RECORDS.

The Tallahassee Floridan, in comment
ing on the question of State auditor and
the failure of the Legislature to select
such officer, says the Governor was au-
thorlzed to Oppoint an agent to examine
the books and accounts of all county Of
ficers, and in pursuance Of the power
conferred on him, Governor Bloyham APP
pointed w. V. Knott, of Hillsborough
county, who is thorough accountant
and eminently qualified TO examine and
report as to the condition of the accounts
of tile various county officers. Mr.. Knott
has been actively engaged in this work
since July 9th, and his labors have been
productive of great good to the State Of
Florida and to the counties in which en-
aminations have already been made.
The shortage of Mr.. Poser, tax collec-
tor of Marion county, was ascertained by
Mr.. Knott, who Is now examining the ac-
counts of the county officers of Marion
county, and it was through him that the
grand jury was placed in possession Of
the information as to the condition of Mr.
pooser's accounts.
There has been so little heard of or said
of Mr.. Knots work that many citizens
the state were not aware that an agent
had ever been appointed, and they doubt
less will be glad to know that he is over
hauling the records. That there is need
for such an officer there can be no doubt,
as no one knows except the officers when
and where leaks may exist and the conn
tics and State becomes the loser Let Mr.
Knott vigorously push along his work,
and besides hunting for losses have an
eye to the poorly and indifferently kept
records in county offices and expose them.

A GREAT MAGAZINE FEATURE.

The Ladies' Home Journal has secured
what promises to be the great magazine
feature of 1898. 1t is entitled THE Inner
Experiences of Cabinet Members Wife"
In series of letters written by the wife
of Cabinet member to her sister at home
are detailed her actual experiences in
Washington, frankly and freely given.
The letters were written without any in
tention Of publication. They give inti-
mate peeps behind the curtain OF high Of
fetal and social life. They are absolute
ly fearless, they study Washington life
under the searchlight as 1t has never been
before presented. The President and the
highest officials Of the land, with the
most brilliant men and women Of the Cap
ital. are seen in the most familiar way.
AS these are all actual experiences the
name OF the writer is withheld. The let.
ters will doubtless excite much shrewd
guessing by readers and study OF internal
evidence To discover the secret The "Ex-
periences." which will be beautifully H.
Illustrated, begin Ia the Decemb number
and will continue for several months.

HOW TO MAKE A NATION STRONG.
GOVERNOR BLoxHAM ANSWERS QUERIES
PBOPoUNDED IN A RECENT SPEECH
BY PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.


PBoPoUNDED IN A RECENT SPEECH
BY PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.
Tallahassee, Fla, Nov. 5.-Last Satur-
day night President Mckinley, In speech
at Cincinnati, propounded the following
interrogatories:
"First-What will make the nation
strongest and best?
"Second-What will make its citizen
ship the most perfect and effective in
Government"
Tie Chicago Tribune wired Governor
Bloxham for answers to these questions,
and he sent the following reply:
ANSWER frst-Equal laws and equal
opportunities produce a contented and
prosperous people, and contented and
prosperous people make country strong
est and best.-Legislation enriching IA
vored classes by laws breeds inequality
and dlscontent, and discontinued people
are never the strongest and best.
ANSWER second-Virtue and intelli-
gence are the fountain heads Of good citi-
zenship, and government by such forces
renders citizenship most useful and most
effective. When such forces are supplan-
ted in Governmental control by wealth
accumulated by class legislation, good
citizenship is dwarfed, and to that extent
is less useful and effective"

1t was said long ago "The critics are
authors who have failed.' And In the

and your slight fever.

OUTLOOK FOR FARMERS.

The Lexington Echo says: There are
good reasons to believe that provisions
are going to be high for the next few
years, They have already advanced con-
siderable over what they were very few
months since. We know that 50 long as
the farmers of the south paoduce such
cotton crops as that OF this year they
will be forced TO take unremunerative
prices for 1t. What else then is left for
them to do for the protection Of themselves
and the enterprises and commercial in
terest dependent on them than to prepare
as they did In 1894 to meet the condi.
lions that confront them-and produce
more OF the high priced commodities and
less OF the cheap.

dwell side by side in church and
ride in the same carriage in the
park on Easter or any other Sun
day furnishes problem which no
one dares to understand, even if he
imagines that he could do so by
bold figuring. A flat charge of in
consistency would, if proven,
smash in a twinkling something
that centuries full of kings, SOL
diers, scholars and prelates have
pinned their scepters, their swords,
their learning and their faith to.
We all feel that there is diScrep-
ancy somewhere-that the church
harbors certain proceedings which
we do not care to explain in public.
When asked how we reconcile the
celebration of ChriSt's resurrection
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-18

we think concerns only ourselves
and makes no difference in the gen.
eral result, nor would it do so if we
were to howl it from the housetops
until doom were split like a rock
by the blast of our voices. Since
Whims and not Judgment influence
man in his administrations, social
as we'll as political, what person
thinks according to logic seldom
matters in the disposition of the
worlds impasSively revolving af-
fairs.
Most of us know that the festiv-
tiles attendant upon Easter had re-
markable origins, albeit none of us
are willing to assert positively
what they were. They have been
described by historians of so many
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-18

pliable to the ingenious fancy of
each historian as Christopher's
relics are accommodating to the de-
mandS of each earthly spot which
claims the proud distinction of be-
ing their grave.
The idea of the Easter egg is
particularly variable and owes its
origin to no less than dozen
sources. In that, however, it
does not fail to afford manifesto
ton of divine forethought, for it
furnishes a rich field for the writer
of the annual article on Easter,
who is as regular every Easter
morning with his grave narration
of the festivals history from first
to last as is the passing of the
earth around the sun. And the
