mnrderous tendency of anarchists
the country might rest easier, but
there is little hope of it. No doubt
there are others like him who are
ready to do their diabolical work
in order to perpetuate the creed of
anarchism and to emphasize their
belief in its doctrines. Owing to
the strict secresy they maintain
there is no way of foretelling their
murderous intentions, their first
warming being when their diaboli-
cal work is accomplished. Anar-
chists are so deeply imbued with
the idea that they are right that
they stop at nothing they think
will further their creed, which
teaches that the higher the person
stands in the estimation of the
world who becomes their aim to
kill, the greater their triumph.
The one problem of the age for this
country of ours to solve is the rid
dance of this element of humanity
if such be possible.

Next Tuesdays Elections.

Next Tuesday will witness elec-
tions held in ten states, Ohio, Iowa,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Nebras-
ka, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Virginia, New Jersey and Missis-
sippi, with a municipal election in
New York city.
The latter has attracted more gen.
eral attention for the reason that
the general people always feel an
interest in the affairs off a great
metropolis. Every Democrat should
hope for the success of Edward M.
Shepard, for the main issue to be
decided is this Shall the Demo-
cratic party still continue in con-
troll of New York city's govern
ment, or shall that city be turned
over to Republican ring at the
head of which stands "Boss" Platt?
A full state ticket is to be elected
in Ohio and the main struggle is
between the Republicans and Dem
ocrats although there are five tick
cts in the field. Col, Kilbourne,
the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, has established his campaign
on Democratic doctrine of home
rule, tariff for revenue only, Oppo-
sition to harmful trusts and COM
binations, but the unexpected will
happen if the Democrats win in
that state.
In Nebraska, should the Repub-
licans win over the Fusionists, it
would be considered by many that
Mr. Bryan had lost influence even
in his own state, as he has taken
an active part in the canvass.
Maryland will try her first cleo
tion under the new elective fran
chise law. The political future of
Ex-senator German is involved,
and Democratic success would
mean his return to the senate.
The fight in Pennsylvania will
be carried on in the same manner
as usual. The Union party, a new
organization acting in connection
with the Democrats, makes the
struggle against the Republicans.
1t is composed of Republicans and
others, who, for reasons of their
own, do not wish to join the Dem
ocrats, but wish to remain out as
Independent free lances.
There is no question as to how
Virginia or Mississippi will go.

The fair management expect to have
the first automobile race ever held in the
south.
A great string of horses will be here,
and a week of racing such as has never
been seen in Jacksonville.
The new tent plan is being drawn; the
new premium list is being printed and
will be ready during this week.
The board of trade has opened board
of information, and has pledged rooms
by the hotels and people of Jacksonville
for all that come.
The management has a storm of offers
of shows of all kinds. The number will
only be limited by the capacity of the
grounds to hold them.
The railroads are advertising the fair
and the general management has had
opportunity TO observe that the state
fair arOuses interest among the whole
people of Florida, and will be a state fair
IN every respect.
The time of the fair is coming nearer,
the number of exhibits is getting larger
and larger, but everything will be in
good shape so as to give space for all ex-
hibits and accommodations for all ex-
hibitors and visitors.
The general manager has secured cold
storage for perishable exhibits which
cannot be gotten at the time the fair
opens. The Jacksonville depot of the
Anheuser- Busch Brewing association of
fers cold storage in its excellent storage
rooms without any cost.
Mr.. C.. F. Hopkins, commissioner of
st. Johns county, will show you old Fort
Marion in miniature; the entrance to his
exhibit will be through the old city gates
in miniature. He will show you the
wonder of the fair-a house, 6x9 feet,
made out of 100000 fish scales, windows
and chimney complete. Nothing like it
has ever been seen. He will show you
the old relics of ST. Augustine.

MILLIONS of people will endorse
the sentiment expressed by the St
Augustine Record as follows: There
seems to be a quiet but general
conviction in all countries that the
war in South Africa has progressed
beyond all reasonable limits and
that the time has come for arbitra-
ton. Naturally both parties to
the unfortunate contest will insist
that they are right and that there
is nothing to arbitrate. True, the
Beers have but little left, yet when
a commando FIVE hundred strong
can make its way through Cape
Colony to the coast it would indi-
cate considerable vitality in the
Boer cause. All things considered
it is surely time the war should
cease and terms of honorable peace
be reached.

removal of papilloma on the left

these operations afford relief for a
