The Licensed Saloons

Some extracts from a sermon
preached on the evening of Sept.
10, by the editor to a union con-
gregation at the Methodist
church:
"If you close the saloons, you
will kill the city, l confess this
is a melancholy prophecy, but the
fact is it is hard for me to see
wherein it is any more dreadful,
and inhuman, and homicidal to
kill the city than the citizens.
And this is what the bar rooms
are instrumental in doing all the
time. Whisky has killed some
men since it came to Tallahassee.
1t is killing some more, but the
worst is not told-it robs them
first of honor, virtue and man
hood, and then kills the body and
soul. The petitions are out again.
Two or three weeks ago they
were published, pretending to
have majority of the registered
voters. We know the facts. But
they are out again, and the COM
missloners have kindly (:) agreed
to have an adjourned meeting on
the 3Oth instant, which will proba-
bly, be done. For the benefit,
therefore, of those whose names
and influence make the legal per-
petuation of this curse within our
city gates possible and probable,
let me say, by way of application,
whenever you see man go reel
ing home to curse his wife and
children, and turn that home into
a hell on earth, take to yourselves
the curst crumb of comfort, you
helped to blast that home. Again,
when you see, as chance you may,
a fellow mortal in the delirium of
wild despair, the foretaste of
he]l's eternal damnation jubilee,
soothe your own soul to rest with
the consolation that by your
name and influence you pressed
the fiery draft to feed his quench
less thirst. And yet again, when
you see some comrade or acquain-
lance, Or child mayhap, whose
sunny locks rested upon your
shoulders, or ruby lips pressed
fondly your own in years agone,
lying stark and cold and dead in
pool Of his own hearts blood,
as the awful climax Of some
drunken row, calmly reflect that
you, by the extent of your name
and influence, helped to push the
dagger or pull the trigger that
spilled that precious life. No,
sirs, gentlemen, and his marks
of these petitions, you will win
your day, and you are welcome to
the revenue the trade brings to
your city or your Golfers, but |
wouldn't walk the burning mari
of hell under the maledictiOn OF
God Almighty's frown and ever
lasting woe for this globe, were
it globe of gold" -Tallahassee
Methodist.

worked from at night to in the morn
ing. There was work enough to keep him
busy and more too, and he had no time
to sleep.
On cross examination witness said
there were "a horses and IL carts to be

He was also asked if the change OF hours
was not to .equalize the duties of the day
watchman Witness said the day man
had nothing to do but feed "a horses.
Witness Indignantly denied that he had
ever slept at night.
FRED NORTH HARRY,
said that Staples had sworn at him many
times, and treated him very badly all
the time, having stricken a pipe from his
mouth one morning and roughly ordered
him to get onto his team. At another
tt ne he said to him, t. you, take
h black pipe out of your mouth when
you speak to me. l knocked it out of
your mouth once, and will knock your
- head off, Witness was convinced
that Staples had grudge against him.
On cross examination witness said he
was not favorite with Staples, the latter
having had an i'll feeling toward him
since 1895, when there had been misun-
derstanding.

VISIT OF CANADIAN OFFICIALS.

Washington, November General
Foster and Sir Julian Pauncefote con-
ferred today as to the arrangements for
the meeting of British, Canadian and
American Representatives relative to the
Behring sea. A general understanding
was reached that the arrival today of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian premier
and party, would permit the meeting to
open on Thursday as tomorrow is likely
to be given to an exchange of views be-
tween the Canadians and British.
. The British ambassador will accom-
pany the Canadian premier to the White
House tomorrow morning and introduce
him to the President. This will be a
call of courtesy, however. and it is not
expected that any Of the pending ques.
tions will be referred to. The British
embassy has extended to Sir Wi1frid an
invitation to be guest. But he has de-
termined to remain with the other Cana
dians at the Shoreham where apartments
have been engaged. 1t is now definitely
settled that tine coming meeting will take
a much wider scope than was at first
anticipated.

international bi-metallism as a world
possibility is dead.
Let US recognize this. The inter
nationai blmetallic commission appointed
,in unuer the ST. Louis pledge of the Repub-
ilcan party, have made strenuous efforts
On penaI OF this policy. These efforts
nave proved futile. The commercial
necessltles of the world have demonstrated
tna6 a dual standard is commercially un-
acceptable and in the present stage of
clvlllzation impossible.
The hour has come, it seems to IFS
wnen a national recognition of this fact
is necessary
The situation demands definite
clear, unequivocal declaration that inter
national bimetallism is a dream of the
past. The United States must proclaim
their acceptance of the world-fact and
plant themselves finally on the single
gold standard.
-" The proclamation of this monetary
position will quicken our commerce, in
crease foreign investment and make per-
manent the prosperous conditions which
have begun to manifest themselves in our
country
'.We invite the friends of sound money
and all who would contribute to the we'll
being and safety of our commercial life to
join in bringing about the unmistakable
declaration that now and henceforth the
monetary system of the United States
shall rest on the single gold standard"

temporary accommodation, The dump
cart. was used in all about 40 days. The
harnesses were returned very soon after
they Were borrowed. Witness saw the cart
very frequently, but noticed no number
or canvas tackled on it. At that time
the company had two teams on city work
and they put this team and cart onto city
work. The city work was not given as
an lnducement for the purchase of the
horses.
On cross examination witness said the
cart was second hand one and was not
injured. 1t was customary for the Sani-
tary company to loan carts to the city.
They had loaned a steel sanitary cart to
the city several weeks. The city did not
pay anything for the use of carts it had
from the company. The company also
sold two carts to the city, but at less
figure shan they could buy them for else
where.
HOWARD W. LEIGHTON,
foreman of the street department, had
been employed as such for three years.

FRANK W. GRACE

FRANK W. GRACE

was city driver, having worked as such
in 1893-4-6-7. He said he had hauled ma
erial to Mr.. Staples's rock pile at the foot
of Wilmot street He called it Staples's

hauled from India street load of cross
walk stone, and from another street a
load of other material AS he was going
with the load from India street he was
hailed by Mr.. Staples, who told him to
be sure and dump the load where he had
been told to put it.

to do something with load of sand
which he did not think witness was do
ing as directed.

not it was on city land. He supposed
