ONE THING LACKING.

The Jacksonville Ola.) Times-Union and
Citizen has many ambitions for florida'
and among them Is the one OF making
the State a great bacon producer. The
States capabilities along that line, de-
clares our jacksonville contemporary are
grand. The Times-Union and Citizeh
starts out in it's dissertation on this par
tlcular subject with the assertion that the
same razor-back hog-wlth his gray or
sandy zebra-stripes and his capacity TOT
passing through fence like "dissolving
view"-which furnishes the Smithheld
ham OF Virginia, is plenitudnous In the
land OF flowers. The Times-Union ana
Citizen then goes on to say that wheh
abandoned by man to a diet of palmetto
roots this wretched animal IS profana-
ton of the landscape. But, ADDS our
contemporary, exultantly, the potency
of sausage is in him, and when the native
pork chop shall have in it the incompara-
BILE SAVIOR of the peanut, impaired by
six-weeks' feeding, and the flesh shall
have received a hardening touch Of corn
then we shall have bacon moro fine and
hams delicious.
The Times-Union and Citizens ambition
to have its State produce the counter
part Of the Smithfield ham-to attain
national fame by following a hog-path,
so to speak-is a worthy and a noble one.
But in the interest Of candor, we feel
compelled to damp its ardor. 1t can
never attain its ambition. There is one
thing lacking i'm the Florida razor-back
that precludes the possibility Of his being
dislocated into a product that will equal
the Smithfield delcacy. There Is no
evidence that he is fddle-faced. The
razor-back hog that useth in the Dismal
Swamp and Whereabouts until he Is ban
quoted in private quarters, preparatory
to entering in part the Smthheld smoke
house, is also fddle-faced. To that fact
is due his peculiar musical grunt, and it
is the curing OF this grunt along with the
ham section Of his anatomy that rem
ders the Smthfield ham the sweetest i'm
the world 1t is this violin note embalmed
in the Smithfeld ham that sends
through the system of the partaker
thereof such soothing and satisfying
vibrations. This statement is due to the
Times Union and Citizen and to a great
Virginia interest, which might be Sc
riously injured for a time by Florida's
sending out what purported to be the
equal of the Smithfeld product.

Be 1t noted, the United States calmly
assigns these SJO,OOO,OOO to the national
defence without the issuance of a bond,
without mourning an obligation, without
appealing TO Wall street or TO Thread
needle street or to the Rothschilds. II is
but four years since, under a Democratic
administration, without a threat of war
our government was begging money and
selling bonds in time of peace to make
up the deficiency of a revenue law that
stabbed at the very vitals Of domestic in
dustry. Now the overlooking Golfers of
the National Treasury meet the demand
Of the moment with the declaration that
there are millions more of cash to spare
if they are wanted.-The N. Y. Mail and
Express.
What nonsense! How unfair. AS we
have said before, the money is in the
Treasury because Mr.. Cleveland issued
bonds and sold them to keep up the gold
reserve. A part OF the proceeds was
no doubt used for the current expenses
Of the government, but the bulk of the
money realized from the bonds is in the
Treasury to. this day.

Beats a Country Editors Wealth,

j. D. Rockfeller's income is said to
average $24, 900 per day, or more than
$9,000,0O0 year. OF this sum Mr..
Rockefeller spends 100000 year in
charitable undertakings, employing
an expert at salary of $4,000 year
to distribute the amount. The giant
fortune, which brings to its possessor
the wonderful income of nearly 81 a
minute, is estimated at 100000, 900. If
this sum were in silver dollars, and
these placed in row with their edges
touching, the row would be more than
4,7OO miles long, or long enough to
cover the entire boundary lines of the

Some Rambling Thoughts.
BY MEMO,

copyrighted by Dave and Tabor.
Away from that which is known.
onward to that which is unknown:
away from the thing that has been
and is, onward to the thing that is
not but will be; this is life? 1t is
stagnation, it is death to try to live
any other way. The necessity is on
US to be ever moving forward out of
the bright light of that which is un-
derstood, into the partial darkness
OF the next open door that conceals
undreamed-of happiness or disaster.
Very naturally, there is a feeling of
apprehension and shuddering and
protest as Time, like a train. hurries
us across plains decked with flowers
and then rushes with terrifying roar
past jagged and dangerous rocks and
mayhap suddenly suspends us over
chasms whose depths mean destruc-
ton to those who fall therein. Yet
what is this but life? Viewed Alright
it is joy never to stand still; viewed
wrongly it is a thing to fear; and
feared most by those who have gained
least of that which is best from the
hurrying events of life as they have
whirled by.

We already see as we advance in our
charitable warfare that the one sim
pie aim, to aid the Cubans, will be com
plicated by number of new relations
and responsibilities. We are going to
be much in the condition of the coun-
try lad who is suddenly transported
from the isolation of the farm to the
crowded walks of the city. He has to
keep on the right side of the way or up
set himself and his fellows; he has to
hold his elbows in and learn an entire
ly new set of social rules. So shall we;
the end of the war is going to leave US
utterly removed from the compact is
Olation of the past. We shall no longer
be able to live for ourselves or to our
selves. Whether we will it or not
much definite international relations
of friendship of antagonism will be
ours to confront. And we shall find
that the diplomacy of the future will
past because of our very apparent pre-
objections for the English speaking in
opposition to the Latin races.
~
We shall also find that our form of
government, hitherto adjusted, with
the exception of icy and darksome AL
aska, to states that touch their fellow
states on one or more sides, will have
to be extended or amended as to take
in the administration, either perman-
emily or otherwise, of remote colonies.
Among these will certainly be the
Philippines, unless Spain suddenly
cedes them to another nation and that
in itself would be serious problem,
with hostilities far more extended than
they are at present with our seventh
rate opponent. Other territory in all
likelihood will comprise Porto Rico,
held for Naturalization, and Cuba,
held for time sufficient to permit the
Inauguration of smooth running
government OF its own. Each of these
departments will bring us into entirely
new areas of international sensitive
ness; we shall be part and parcel of
the great Eastern questionable con
troll of the brown Malay and the par
tition of the lands of the senile China
MAINLAND ON the Atlantic coast the
turmoil consequent upon the destruc-
ton of Spain will be ours to quiet.
#**
Thus the open door of our latest
duty shows us broad horizon that
we did not dream of before. Wise
hands are needed, unswayed by party
bias, uninfiuenced by a desire for
notoriety, but held as in wise, to a
determinate purpose to spend and to
be spent in effort that shall still tend
to perpetuate the growth in granduer
and leadership of this our dear coun-
try, carved at such an expense of
effort, from the wilds of the western
world. We shall go further with this
line of thought.

we have commended that there is a
quality of mercy and of great dignity
in what we are doing. Yet who
among us is wise enough to see fully
in advance the new vistas of progress
or temptation to which the rush of
events is leading us. 1t is easy for
superficial ones to talk of a nation as
though it were in a fixed and un-
changeable state, like an Egyptian
mummy wrapped in the pitch and
cerements and preservatives of antiq-
uity. But the nation that lives and
moves and has a being instinct with
progress, is least of all like a mummy
and those who would swathe it with
rigid bands may indeed distort it but
they cannot repress it. There is a
tendency to always bark back to our
own remotest past with the credulous
feeling that the men of those DAYS
had been prophets who foresaw, as
in vision, all that would happen to
us and made ample Constitutional pro-
vision to meet it. Yet without de-
tracing particle from the value of
their work we know that the articles
of confederation of 1871, had to give
place to the constitution of 1887, and
that, in turn, has been amended fif-
teen times.

This evidence of change is no sign
of indecision, but simply an evidence
of growth. Our ancestors could not
possibly have foreknown the great
surging western wave of population
nor could they know that the climate
of the south and the development of
the cotton-gin and the labor condi-
tions that went with it would serve
almost to tear apart every strand of
union, nor could they have realized
that the jealousies of the early years
would have so vanished by now that
we scarcely have remnant of state
distrust left. These things are here
set forth merely to accentuate the
fact that vitality means change, and
that change is simply REIMBURSEMENT
to new conditions as they have APP
peared.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
\ Sweeping Ordinance Passed-Other
 Matters Of Interest.

The regular monthly meeting of the city council was held last night After the auditing of current bills, matters connected with the fire department came up. Upcn the authority Of Judge Ainsworth the depa1 tment was permit ted to connect the Gamewell fire alarm system with the wa.ser works power station. Chief Fowler was directed to have certain repairs made upon the apparatus of the department. The city assessment roll was adopted and then the council got down to law making.
 An ordinance was passed smpower- ing the mayor to issue and revoke li- cerses. While the purpose of the or dinance IS mainly to regulate saloons it is applicable to all kinds Of licenses. Heretofore nc power existed in the government for revCkins licenses.
 Another ordinance was passed regu- Hating hacks and hack stands. A stand may not be established without per
 mission of the owner of the adjacent property. This permission may be revoked at any time. Tn the matter Of soliciting fares at dep0ts the consent Iof the railroads must be obtained. There was arGsher ordinance which was laid On the table fer future con- sideration. It was intended to restrict the freedom Of saloon singing girls. They were to be prohibited from rustling drinks. which, by the way, is C1e of their principal and most profit able duties. Thsy were nc. tc be al lowed to loiter about bars. patrcnize the games, CT ''cap" CT "bcost" for them.

 s. N. Phillips was appointed city Z2njero to succeed the late II. Ii Wolhey. During the illness of the late zanjero Mir. Phillips has been filling this office.
 The matter Of the Sunday evening band concerts was called up. It was at first proposed to prohibit the con- certs at a time which would interfere with religious services. This action was not taken, but it was recommended that the band management and the ministers should get together and ar range a schedule by which collisions might be avoided.
