Everybody who knows John G. Col
lins-and who does ot--will be glad to
see him back IN the newspaper ranks
and on his feet with paper of his
own-The True Democrat. No man in
the business Is better known or better
liked by the newspaper fraternity
throughout the State. For many years
John ran the old Tallahasseean, and
for much of this time he was also State
printer. In that capacity he was
brought into contact, not only with the
public men Of the State and political
push generally, but with the newspaper
people, who, during the sessions Of the
Legislature found the old Tallahasseean
Office very convenient chang out.
That old Office has seen some pictur-
esque scenes, and during the rush was
often ''wide-Open" until broad daylight.
Keeping up with the House and Senate
journals during the closing weeks Of
the session, when three sessions a day
are often held, is by no means an easy
job. 1t is the sort of thing that keeps
printers, devils, pr0ofreaders and
'make-ups" on the jump. In those
dim, dead old days many q WORKOUT

can't fool the printers. They set

it, and who is really doing the work on

Considerable Of a sensation has been
caused by the fling, at Mariana, on
the 9th inst, by Hon. j. Walter Kehoe,
State Attorney for the First Judicial
District, Of procee1 ings to effect the
disharment OF Hon. Benz. S. LiddOn, q
well known citizen and attorney Of
Mariana, and formerly Chief Justice
Of che Supreme Court of Florida. The
grounds stated in the motion are: "Q)
Because the said B. S. Liddon has been
guilty Of deceit and misconduct In his
Office as attorney in the courts Of the
First Judicial Circuit Of Florida; (2)
That the said B. S. Liddon has been
guilty of unprofessional acta which unfit
him for association with the fair and
honorable members of the profession;
60 That the said b. s. Liddon has been
guilty of dishonest conduct IN the dis
charge Of his duties as attorney in the
courts of this circuit" The specifica-
tons and proof upon which this extra
ordinary proceeding is based will not, of
course, be publicly known until the
hearing of the motion at the next regu-
lar term of the court at Mariana. In
view of the prominence Of the accused,
public opinion concerning the case win
doubtless be suspended pending the hear

DEMONSTRATIONS"

One Of our numerous competitors for
the job work patronage of this region
and we have them In every county In
Middle Florida--seem to advertise H.
self as "poverty-stricken," In circus
poster headlines. That's not what IA
the r.atter with the Collins print shou.
What troubles US most is to faithfully
handle the large volume Of work that Il
constantly crOwding in. When our new,
specially CONSTRUCTED Office building Is
ready, and we are printing The True
Democrat on the new power press which
we have ordered, our troubles will cease.
Perhaps our competitor, in It's foolish.
laundering way, intended to convey the
idea that we are Experimentation. +"
Looks that way, from It's buster and
silly Dragging about how ''rieh' Il IL.
That's about as near the truth as IL ever
Is likely to get. We are no nearer be-
ing ''poverty-strieken" than IL Is TO
being rich. y Besides, people who
want printing done do not give Il out TO
any concern because It is poverty
stricken" any more than they do to
another because Il Is ''rich"-or claims
TO be. They go where the best and
cheapest cheapest because best work
Is DONE; that's why we are getting
about all the job work we can do.
Job printing speaks for itself. Ours
does. So does that executed by our
competitors. Compare themI II isn't
question Of who has--or thinks ne
has-the most money, or which Of aI,v
two print shops IL the biggest or the
"Fiehest" its the class OF work that
Is turned out, We are willing 10 show
samples with any similar institution In
the State, and especially would we chaI-
lenge comparison of our work with that

The New York Herald publishes the
following racy review OF Tom Watson 3
new magazine. The reader will note
the fact that Watson is the most radi-
cal Of would-be reformers; but he fails,
apparently, to substitute q structure for
that which he would pull down about
our ears. The Herald says, after de-
scribing the cover:
"He BY no means writes a. q defeated
candidate. Carefully studied, he says,
the election affords more encourage
ment to reformers than any event
which has happened since the civil war.
In smashing the fraudulent scheme OF
German Hill McCarren Belmont, the
people proved that there was still such
a thing as public conscience.
ITO the presence Of Mr. Cleveland In
the campaign, he lays the tremendous
majority of the vote against Judge Par
ker. Apparently Parker had no con-
ception or the bitterness with which the
masses hate Cleveland he says. Be
delegates to the st. Lous convention,
because he was given a cut-and-dried
ovation by the business men Of New
York city, the Democratic bo3ses seemed
TO think that the more of Cleveland they
forced into the. cRmpAiRn the better the
country would like the taste Of II. So
they not only kept Cleveland on exhibit
ton in the most conspicuous manner,
but they dug up John G. Carlisle, Arthur
Pue German. Olney of MaSsachuse tts,
and other Cleveland fossils, until Par
ker's Identification with Cleveland's
second administration was complete;
and when that happened, he adds, In
his breezy manner, 1t was goodbye,
Parker.
"He charges that there is no reason
able doubt whatever that Parker'a man
ayers had pledged themselves to another
issue of bonds, referring TO the Incl
dent during Mr.. Cleveland's second adj
ministration which has been severely
criticised, adding that to get more
bonds you only need another President
who will take orders from Belmont and
Morgan at secret midnight conferences.
"To Carlisle he pays his respects by
characterizing him as the representative
in Congress of the whiskey trust, and
German, he declares, is the representa-
tive of the sugar trust. Bryan he as
sails bitterly. Beware how you trihe
with radicals, he tells him. BE assured
Of this, William, you can't ride both
,horses.' He advises President Roose-
NGIlt NuOg liG Says ANatio W A@NA(aAolAig
TO press forward parcels poSt law, TO
insist on railroad raJe legislation and TO
oppose q ship subsidy.
hUnder the heading, Hearst, the
myth, he says: Because he ID not per-
petually making an exhibit of himself,
good many shallow politicians sneer
at w. r. Hearst, and call him myth.
Because he is not everlastingly on his
feet, Keeling of speeches, which come
from nowhere and go nowhere, the av-
erage regulation orator looks down
upon the modest, silent man from New
York as a very inferior mortal indeed.
Yet w. r. Hearst, with ali his shyneSs
and silence, has a way of hitting out
quick, hard and sure that does more
good for the people than all the orators
have done in the last decade.
Fiction, poetry and essays complete
a magazine Of the regulation size. I"

sleI.enea of the scaIpeI.

An extraordinary event led Lassone,
physician to Louis XVI. Of France, to
abandon his anatomical studies. While
selecting from among some dead bod
les a suitable subject for dissection he
imagined that one of them showed
doubtful signs Of death and sought to
revive a life which was perhaps not
extinguished. His efforts were crown
ed with success. He cured the man,
and as he was poor nourished and sup
ported him. but the idea Of having
been on the point Of committing a
crime so affected Lassone that he felt
himself unable to pursue his accus-
toned labors, and from that time for
ward the study of natural history and
chemistry took the place Of that OF
anatomy.
