citizen of Massachusetts. NAV be
properly termed leading expo
ncnt of Gold Dcmucracy.' lie
does not believe in the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of sixteen To-
one, and on other points he finds
himself out of conSonance with Mr.
Bryan. Nevertheless Mr.. Cham
berlain will support Bryan in the
approaching campaign, for reasons
which he sets forth in letter To
the Springfield Mass. Republican:
reasons which should appeal To
those other Gold Democrats who
are canvassing the ACCESSIBILITY of
putting up ii third candidate.
Mr.. Chamberlain points out very
clearly that the real contest will

Democratic and Republican parties
or Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Mckinley,
and that no third candidate can
possibly change the result. From
the point of view of the Gold Dem

evil of trusts, monopolies and inn
perialism, as represented by Mr..
McKinley's party. However much
we may disrate Bryan and his par
ty," says Mr.. Chamberlain, cit still
remains that Bryan and his party
are opposed to giving free swing to
trusts and monopolies and the tar
if which largely supports them,
and to turning our republic into
an empire" This being true, and
it cannot be successfully question
ed, sit should seem that the cleo
ton of Bryan, being the utmost
that can be done at the time to ward
off these mortal ills, it is the best
thing TO do"
How votes for a third candidate
are wasted was illustrated in the
last election when Palmer and
Buckner cut no figure at all in the
determination of the result, except
in so far as by drawing votes away
from the Democratic nominee they
aided in the election of the Repub-
lican. If the Gold Democrats find
themselves in IA dilemma in the
coming election as between voting
for free coinage on the one hand,
or in favor of trusts and imperial
ism on the other, the putting up of
Il third candidate is no solution of
it.
In the opinion of our contempo-
rary, the Savannah News, cit is
merely a make-believe avoidance of
it, which does not at all avoid. The
votes that would be cast for third
would have no effect i'm
furthering those principles for
which the anti-Bryan Democrats
nor defeating those to
which they object. As a matter of
fact, therefore, voters for a third
would be participating
in a negative sort of way in a choice
between Bryan and Mckinley, with
the advantage on the side of the
latter. Under the circumstances.
whoever insists on a third candi-
late who cannot possibly be elect
I'd, seems to be chargeable with
from duty, if he serious
~ wishes to do his best to defeat
Mckinley"

By request we publish an article
on page D this week referring to the
proposed canal To be cut from Lake
Washington TO Eau Gallie river.
THE STAR from the first has printed
every bit of information pro and
con relating to this movement, and
1T seems a little strange that the
people of our river have been SO lit
tie interested in the canal one way
or another, aside from the action
taken by the recent county conven-
ton. II, as this article states, the
war department will have To be
consulted before the work can go
ahead, the suggestion made in this
article may not be out of place. 1t
is the design of the contractors,
if we understand their intention
correctly, to cut the canal only to
"A sufficient depth To remove the
surplus water To the ordinary stage,
but as the st. Johns river is IA slug
gish stream the question arises
Would not this canal remove the
natural excess of water SO quickly
that in time of long continued
drouth the navigation of the upper.
81. Johns would be impaired by the
water dropping way below the or
binary stage by evaporation and its
current To the ocean? This is well
worth consideration for South Flor

WHEN it is granted that Judge

WHEN it is granted that Judge
J. ID. Beggs is the equal of any
candidate now announced for gov
ernOr, the fact that he is a resident
of the southeast part of the state
should be considered. In 1876
Drew was elected from the north
ern portion of the Second con-
gressi0nal district; in 1850 BlOx-
ham from the northern portion of
the First district; in 1884 Perry
from the First district; in 1888
Fleming from the northern por-
ton of the Second district; in 1892
Mitchell from the southeastern
portion of the First district, and
in 1896 BlOxham was again chosen
from the northern portion of the
First district, making six govern
ors, and four out of the six from
the First district. The southern
portion of the Second district has
never had Il state officer, and ii can
not be said that she has not had
the material. The Orlando Senti-
mel Reporter asks the following
question as it not fair that she
be considered now?" and it can
only be answered in the affirmative.

The settlement composed of Germans
at Ormond is very successful in the grow
ing and cultivating of the scuppernong
grape. The Thomas variety is the one
preferred for wine, and most generally
planted, though the Bronze and q late
variety OF the same family are planted for
succession. Instructions found in most
nurserymen's catalogues are not TO prune
the seupPernong, but our German grow
ers prune severely. and nowhere have |
found such hard, vigorous vines and such
quantities of fruit. The pruning is done
after the vine becomes dormant, and be-
fore it shows signs of putting out again

Of failure, though the crop is better some
ears than others.
The WEIGH grape juice, made in New
Jersey, is for sale in nearly every store
IN Florida. Why not make our own Juice
from the scuppernong? The most impor-
tant part of the grape is its sugar The
scuppernong grown in Florida, in our
warm climate, develops more and better
grape sugar than any grape grown in the
north. Onr grape juice is richer i'm sac

that of any made from grapes that are
grown in a cold climate. We ought GER

Grape sugar requires no digestion. but

where IL renders up its force as required. |
Taken in moderation, it will not produce |
cathartical effects, but a more natural ac- |
ton of the bowels, So important to health. |
Taken in large quantities, it Is generally |

grape has been recognized for more than |
two hundred years, while the grape as a |

many centuries.

CLUBLIKE COUNTRY BANKS.
There La a Difference Between Finan-
ciaI Institutions in Country
and City.

eff there is one place more than an
other that is business from start TO
finish and repeat" said the man who
gets around occasionally, according to
the Chicago Inter Ocean, at is a city
bank. The big ones are almost OPP
pressive in their formality, and even
the little ones, on side streets, don't
encourage man TO loaf and invite
his soul after he has attended to what
he came there for. But IT is very diff
ferent in the country, especially in
] spend few weeks every year, there
are three banks, all good ones of
quarter Of million capital each, and
with handsome buildings, but instead
of the narrow. penned-up accommoda-
tions for customers, as is the rule in
the city banks. their rooms are COM
modious and they are furnished with
chairs and desks TO write at, and plenty
of cuspidors for the tobacco chewers
The clerks are behind ratings and
counters. but theirs are the restricted
quarters, and most of the space is set
apart for the comfort and convenience
of customers. They are The general
meeting places for farmers and other
visitors to town, and during business
hours they are never empty.
'sThe work of the bank goes on lust
the same, for everybody is used to that
sort of thing. and the crowd outside.
more like a barroom than a bank,
laughs and talks and swears and chews
tobacco as if that were part of the
banking business. In the summer aft
ernoons the big armchairs are car
ried out into the shade, if the bank hap
pens TO be on the shady side of the
street, and they decorate with their
occupants the whole street front of
the. building. In the winter there is a
big stove, hed-hot most of the time.
that makes it pleasant for the people
who have ridden five or ten miles
through the cold, and the crowd is
thicker than ever because the weather
is not propitious for street-corner con-
ferences as it is in summer. / have
never seen the staid decorum of the
city bank in the country, and am sure
if any man with new-fangled notions
were to attempt TO conduct a bank on
such lines he wouldn't get enough bust
ness to declare a centennial dividend
of quarter of one per cent. The peo-
pie simply wouldn't have it. and If
they couldn't make the bank their
headquarters for trading talk and
their general meeting place they would
not go there at all"
