Somebody is forever tinkering with
the calendar. julius Ca esar and Pope
Gregory and Napoleon aIe few who
have insisted on having some kind of
reform made in our method of reck-
oning.
And now comes VI. Camille Flam-
marion, the celebrated French as
trOnOmer, who is urging the Cham Der
of Deputies to adopt a new calendar
in which every year will be a leap
year. He would limit the year to 364
days, with an odd day each twelve
months to be set aside as an extra
national holiday. Every four years
there will be two of these holidays.
The advantage of the scheme is that
1854 being exactly Invisible by Z, the
days of the week would fall on the
SdiiC tdSC CCOINdAN lie "OuAu ui0AC
March p, the event of spring, New
Years day, and would set month of
81 days to follow each month of 80
days. and he would give the extra
days special no mes, other than those
of the days of the week.
The luxury of having a perpetual
round of leap years is one which the
unmarried portion of feminine hui
mainly will deeply appreciate. Far
be it from US to suggest that the
natural charms of the women of this
particular community make it neces-
sary to have leap year. but in less
fortunate parts of the world it would
be hailed with great delight.
There Is very little probability that
it will be adopted, even by France,
where NJ. Flammarion can bring to
bear all mis- splendid influence. but it
will at least serve the good purpose
of giving the garrulous chamber
something to talk about during the
remainder of the summer

PLAYING QUITS.

Inc cuICOI Va UuIS paper was aOoIOO
in a whig family and his political
mentor was an ardent disciple of
Henry Clay. Hence he started out on
his political career as high apostle
of protection.
But when he began to investigate .
the subject of the tariff for himself
and with some degree of seriousness;
when he saw that goods of American
manufacture were sold cheaper every
where else on elrth than at home;
that. the system of protection enrich
ed the few at the expense of the
many, he quit worshipping at her
shrine, and became an out-and-out
| free trader, and for thirty years he
has persistently and consistently adj
| vocated that policy. He has never
, wavered from his belief for an in
slant.
But what are the fruits of this I'M
| remitting labor?
The country is further away from
free trade to-day than it was thirty
years ago
Along about the year 1870 the edi-
tor was a reader of the New York
Mercantile Journal and became con-
vert to Wallace's theory of paper
money.
He early believed that all money is
fiat money and that paper money
alone should become the money of
civilization. Why? Because the ma
terial of which it is made has very lit
tie if any intrinsic value; therefore,
cannot be easily and quickly gobbled
! up by monopoly Where is the sense
OF issuing interes. bearing tOnds for
the purpose of paying a premium on
| gold wneu the government can issue
paper money direct and has the TAX
| ing power behind it to make it good?
But what do we find?
The country is further away frcm
paper money to-day than it ever has
been.
| IT we were not to have paper mon
! ey and are to have metallic money,
| the mines of which can be so conve-
! niently cornered, we thought it were
better t. have two metals than one,
so this paper favored the free coinage
of silver along with that of gold.
But what is the result?
We are further away from bimet-
talism to-day than at any time since
! the birth of the republic.
The editor of this paper believes
that the private ownership in lands.
which puts it in the power of a few
individuals to corner all the gold, all
the silver, all the Oil, all the coal. all
the iron. all the copper, all the zinc.
all the tin. all the lead. all the phOs-
phste rock, all the marble, and all
the gifts of God to man, wisely and

Anxious for the reformation of the
world along all lines where evils exist.
the editor was easily convinced that
the open was much worse al evil than
the closed saloon, so with few kin
dred spirits he addressed himself to
the task of closing them in Ocala.
The fight was the hottest ever
waged in Marion county, ties of long
friendship were broken, and other
things of that sort not necessary to
dwell upon here, were numerous.
The county was carried dry" by a
whooping majority--but what else?
What was the aftermath?
Every promise made was unfulfIled,
every buoyant hope was as DEAD sea
fruit that turned to ashes on the lips.
''Blind tigers" their orbless eyes a
mere fake, and teeth showing, on
every corner, and 'clubs'' galore.
The years that followed were so
bad that those who were the most
earnest advocates in bringing about
the changed condition of affairs were
willing to bear those evils they had
grown accustomed to, rather than en-
dure those they knew not of, 10 almost
with one consent, the closed saloon,
with it's hidden, and, perhaps, more
corrupting evils, was abolished and
Oc.ls went back to those in the open.
There is . fight on to close them
again.
Having ''fit'' and failed, no not fail

we now commit the work to other

Our experience is that 'sreform
fruit" 90 beautiful and alluring in
the pursuit, gets further and further
away from US rs we approach it, and
that which we chance to gather is

almost in every instance, We say it
only in sorrow not in anger, has turn
