Democratic Action In Ohio.

The Ohio Democratic cOnven-
tiOn's failure to make any mention
of the Kansas City platform will
be very noticeable To man up a
tree. 1t was expected that there
would be an endorsement of that
platform, or, at least, parts of it.
The failure To refer to it in any
way indicates that it was impos
sible to reach an agreement in re-
gard to it, and that, therefore, it
was thought to be the better plan
TO make no mention of it. This
was case of where action spoke
louder than words.
Mr.. l.. A. Rosing, for many years
chairman of the Democratic State
COMMITTEE of Minnesota, is quoted
as saying that having gone through
about all of the close states within
the last month or two, he is con-
vinced that Mr.. Bryan's influence
is on the wane, ana that in future
the policy of the Democratic party
will be towards conservatism, but,
at the same time, for progressive
American principles. He is salts.
fed that there will be a departure
from Bryan issues. The course
pursued by the Ohio Democratic
convention would indicate as
\ much.

THE various corporations whose
securities are bought and sold
on the exchanges of New York
city distributed in interest to the
holders of their securities on July
1st a sum amounting to a little
above sos, ,OO0,0 0,0O0-a sum which
has never before been equalled in
the history of the country, it is
said, SO far as the records show.
This amount is divided about
equally between railroad and in
dustrial bonds and railroad and
industrial stocks. 1t is estimated
that the various stock corporations
throughout the country paid out
not less than s250,000,O00 for the
six months which ended with
June. Much of this interest mon
ey will be spent for summer vaca-
tions, but by far the larger part of
it will be soon seeking new invest
ments.

New Orders In County Affairs.

The new board of county COM
missioners' action last week In re-
lation to establishing a county poor
farm will meet with the hearty ap-
proval of the people of this coun-
w. 1t is true that the former
board had this subject under con-
sideration, and, although the ex-
amples of the excellent workings
of poor farms in adjoining coun-
ties had been cited in the columns
of Tue STAR on several occasions,
there were two or three members
of that board who were firmly con-
vinced that the monthly stipend
plan was the better, and cOnse-
quently no change was made.
We see no reason why poor
farm should not be made as near
|selfsustaining in Brevard as it is
elsewhere, and, aside from saving
the larger part of an annual ex-
pense of over 81 800 to $1,000 per
year, it would also tend to decrease
the number of INDECENT people
upon the county.
Probably one of the most i'm
portant orders of the new board
was that imposing an occupation
license upon fish dealers and
slaughterers of animals for market,
which is ordered to go into effect
the first of October next. An oc-
cupatiOn tax on any business
which has heretofore been exempt
will be termed a hardship by those
dealing in that line, but if those
interested will take an impartial
view of the situation they must
admit that their business is as
liable to such license as the store
keeper, the saloon, and professional
lines. Whether the fish dealers
will accept the new order of things
or oppose it in the courts it is hard
to say just now, as they probably
have not taken any united action
in regard thereto, but the revenue
to the county from fish dealers
license will be no small item.
The order passed for payments
due contractors to lie over 80 days,
so that citizens may enter protest
or suggestion as regards payment
of same regarding defects or over
sights in contracts, is a move in
the right direction.
The county is to be congratulate
ed that in the matter of equalizing
assessments only three complaints
were made at this meeting in re-
gard to excessive valuation, two
by individuals, and one by a land
company. The assessments on
these several tracts were reduced
from $1,000 to 81, ,O6O.
The serious problem of what
shall be done with the land bought
a few months ago in Dade county
for rock for road purposes is one
the board will soon take up for
consideration. The first and see
ond districts have levied no special
road tax this year. The third has,
and the fourth and fifth districts
have about s5 800 in the treasury
for good roads. 1t is claimed that
the crushing of this rock for good
roads will be very costly, and it is
question whether it can be util-
lied to advantage without going to
the expense of buying a rock
crusher, but we feel that the new
board will consider the matter in
business-like way and determine
what is best to be done in regard
thereto for the welfare of the
county.
