The Turkey Crop.

Often at this time of year,
When Thanksgiving's drawing
near,
We've been told there's shortage in
the turkey crop
That the birds we highly prize
Are so scarce that cost will rise
To a point where many must that
Wand drop.
Many times in years gone by
We have heard this same old cry,
And, believing It, have been by sor-
row stirred;
But, when came the time to feast,
All, from highest to the least,
Gazed in rapture at the stuffed and
roasted bird.
Now we hear the tale once more,
AS so often told before,
And tits spreading far and wide
through the land.
On the farms where turkeys grow
Those who raise them say they
know
There will not be half enough to
meet demand
We are told in accents sad
That the season has been bad,
Cold and rainy weather getting in
hard knocks;
That by thousands turkey tots
Fell as victims of the swats
Which so often decimate the feath-
cred fiocks.
For these reasons, we are told,
But few turkeys will be sold
At the season when we'll all desire
to Dny;
And tits Furthermore declared,
So few turkeys being spared,
That the price for them will run ex-
tremely high.
But we've often heard such tales,
And, in spite of all the walls,
In due time the birds so favored
would be found;
So we think that now, as then,
Well have cause to smile again
When the time for eating turkey
come around.

bat of New York, is now support
ing the Republican municipal
ticket in that city. His influ-
ence. however, has long since
oozed out.-Jacksonville MetrOp-
oils.
True, Carl Schurz did support the
republican municipal ticket in New
York. What of it?
Last year he was making speeches
for Judge Parker and republicans
were making fun of the old man.
But Carl is rs years old with hide
that is as thick as a rhinoceros, GER
tainly thick enough to be imperve-
Gus to attacks of small fry editors.
Carl Schurz, reformer, editor, ora
tor, essayist. patriot, is an independ-
ent in politics, and independentism
is equivalent to manliness in the Sec
ton where he lives.
Jerome is an independent. Hurst,
whom the Metropolis sought to boom
for the presidency not long ago, was
an independent candidate for mayor
Of New York. Carl Schurz never
was a party man. He was always
independent.
In the days of reconstruction Presi-
dent Johnson sent him into the
Southern states to study the situa-
ton and he became a hot and fear
less enemy of carpet-bag rule. He
was the one influential friend of the
south in the camp of those Federal
officials who stood for our degrade
ton. His influence "oozed" then in
so far as the Johnson administration
was concerned. But the south ought
never to forget his friendship.
Compelled to flee from Germany
because of his revolutionary tenden-
cies, Carl Schurz came to this coun-
try. He was one of the great edi
tors of the country before the wal
between the states. In 1850 he was
the L. S. Minister to Spain and re-
signed to come home and enlist ir
the Federal army. He fought like
the zealot he has always been anc
rose to be a major general.
Afterwards he was a United States
Senator. He was one of the found
ers and one of the most forceful per
sonalities in the civil-service reform
movement.
But that isn't all.
He kept himself out of the politi
cal mire and has always refused t.
compromise with his conscience.
a stormy petrol of politics, Car
Schurz has changed his affiliations
almost as often as he has changed
his clothes. He has faced detractiOl
and calumny from all sides. He hal
been called everything from a mug
wump" to Il TRAITOR"
Way back in the days of the liberia
republican party he was making
speeches for Greeley. He was {
member of Hayes cabinet. He was
a member of the convention tina
nominated Blaine and then refused
to support him. He worked for Cleve
land and opposed Bryan. Last yea
he worked for Parker.
Most men are towards about thei
politics. When they disagree will
the party they usually keep still o.
secretly serve the enemy. Schur;
has always had the courage of hi
convictions. He has been independ
ent but never neutral.
Doubtless the old man has beer
wrong in some of his fiops. But hi
acted up to his belief. No man wilt
knows his history and Temperament
will deny him sincerely of motive.
When the old patriot dies, befort
long, some mighty nice things will
be said about him.

The Tallahassee True Democrat.
in every issue, claims that there has
been, and is now, rottenness and
graft in many of the state offices in
Tallahassee. The Democrat claims
that the state has been robbed in a
legal way and the people fooled, in
regard to the true condition, for sew
eral years. The Democrat claims
that a combination was formed in
Tallahassee, known as the Capital
Printing Co., which is practically
owned by some of the state officers,
and that this combination is fast
getting rich from the peoples mon
ey. The Democrat has made some
broad assertions, and yet no libel
suits have been entered against
them, which is evidence that the
Democrat must know what it is talk
ing about. 1t seems that the edito-
rails are mostly directed towards the
comptroller's office, and there is
probably room for believing that the
Democrat is right.-Jasper Banner.

According to the Tallahassee True
Democrat, which paper, by the way,
is doing its utmost to expose graft in
high places at the state capital, the
45th volume of Supreme Court re-
ports, just delivered, is "about the
rottenest piece of public work ever
turned out in the state of Florida. I"
1t must be rotten" when Attorney
General Ellis has refused to accept
the work, and, with the supreme
court justices, has referred the mat
ter to the Board of Commissioners of
State Institutions, who made the
contract with the state printer and
whose business it is to see that he
fulfills his contract. 1t is said these
reports are printed on cheap grade
newspaper on which the type shows
through from side to side, and that
the forms in some places have been
reversed, thus bringing the paging
to the inside edge of the book instead
of the outside and thereby interrupt
ing the continuity of the printed
matter. In other words it is Just
such job as the people had every
reason to expect when blacksmith
was awarded the contract for state
printing.

NEW YORK. July S1.-'I am firmly
convinced the Yankees will finish in the
money" said Manager Griffith today.
When asked what he based his conf
dence upon, Griffith replied:
.'TVen. in the first place. I did not
see any team out West that has any
thing on US at all. On the contrary, We
played better ball than the Westerners,
and we were all broken up at that, IN
Chicago, where we were beaten three
out of four. the White SoX should not
have had a game, They outlucled u.s.
but did not outplay us.
1.-THE strain of holding their lead in
such an intensely close and exciting
race is showing its effects on the Cleve-
lands. They are irritable. cranky and
touchy to a degree. and the Chicagos
are In little better mental condition
New with a team that has escaped all
that nervous strain, as the Yankees
have done. and coming with a rush, as
I firmly believe they are, they Will be
in much better shape 10 make a punish
ing finish than the players who are on
the verge OF the nutty house from nerv-
Gus tension
Telling on Fans.
.'The wear and tear on the minds of
the fans must be fierce. too, for I never
saw such a crazy lot as they are out
in Chicago and Cleveland. They seem
to think that a visiting team has no
right TO beat their pets
IN my long experience in the West
never saw SO much anxiety manifested
by the fans to have their sfavoriteg team
win the championship as this season. It
may be that the prospect of a world s
championship series has intensified
things, but IL IS the record -brea king
eloseness of the struggle that is the
real reason. .
