1t has come to our ears that some
persons have raised a question as to
the authorship of one or two editorials
which appeared in this paper Tuesday
and Wednesday mornings, the assar-
ton being made by those persons that
the editorials referred to were written
by a person or persons outside of this
office. We wish to put an end 10 all
discussions of this character by a y
ing hat the articles referred to were
conceived, prepared and written in this
Office without any outside suggestions
or aid in any way. Whatever merit
or dement, there is in them the man
employed by this papr for doing its
editorial work claims the credit Or is
willing to shoulder the censure for the
same. He was the author of both the
editorials. We hope this announcement
will Put Il stop to the discussion as TO
their authorship. The Messenger edi-
tor wrote them and he and the paper
are willing TO stand by the position
therein taken. We hope this an
nOuncement will be all that it is neces-
sary to say on this subject.

The first act passed by the Russian
parliament or duma was a bill appro-
priating seven and a half million dol
lars out Of the public funds for the
famine sufferers. In this matter the
emperor sided with the peoples repre-
sentatives against the bureaucracy. In
this action he has done much to win
the esteem of the people, but the
trouble is that he must stand or fall
with the bureaucracy asainst whom
the real fight Of the commonality is
being made. That party of a~ristocrats
is as much his enemy as it is that Of
the people who are fighting for their
liberties. but he has to make a show
of standing by it, though he may be
opposed to much that it advocates and
does.

Why Vote For Light.

Light is only a little one-horse farm
er and Why vote for him?
Some say Light don't know how to
draw up a bill; if he went to ITALIA
hassee, but he knows that Iaoning
state money at per cent. and having
per cent. on debts is a losing propo-
sition to the state.
Light has no college education but
he knows that one hundred cents
make a dollar live!
Why vote for Light if he is close
and stingy? Why vote for a man who
can hang on TO a dollar like tick to
a poor mans hide?
All. Aver says that if Light went to
Tallahassee, and there was a rat in
the barn, Light would find it. then
why vote for that kind Of a william?
Why vote for Light, he won't do. He
dislikes railroads and express COM
panies, and he kicks at being made TO
pay three per cent. interest on $70,-
100000 of railroad watered stock and
thinks when either of the Carmicha els
pay nearly as large license tax as
the Southern Express Co. does yearly
that there is something wrong. Light
lis too burned inquisitive. Why vote
for him anyway?
Light at Tallahassee, why he Amt

profits, loans, discounts, etc.
Why, he'd make an ass OF himself
and be a disgrace 10 Marion county
Why vote for such a man?
Light, if nominated. why he'd be
fool enough IL get an itemized account
Of each department, and as he is close
and stingy and has got the cheek. too
TO knife and cut all the little and big
eXtravagancies to the heart?
Why vote for a man who is foo
enough TO put in cold type his views

Light amt got sense enough Ia
know that if nominated that if he
don't try and carry out some Of his
campaign thunder ideas he is a dead
duck politically, sure.
