employed Q lawyer to knock the dead

The Authors Meaning.

There are several anecdotes which
bear out the theory that a competent
and reyerent commentator may some
times eXpound a work of genius more
effectively than its writer himself
could do, especially such works as
tend 10 the aIIegorieal.
When the famous mystic Bohme
was on his deathbed, it is related
that some of his followers came to
him with the request that he would
explain certain more than usually
cryptic passage in his writings. He
puzzled over it 10 no purpose. MY
dear children" he said as he laid
the book feebly aside, when | wrote
this l understood its meaning, and
no doubt the omnisicient God did. He
may still remember it, but have for
gotten"
A very similar story is told of 9th
er authOTs-perhaps with as much
truth. klopstock, the German poet
whom his admirers rashly compared
TO Milton, was once questioned al
Gottinggen as to the exact meaning
of one Of his stanZas. He read il
over once or twice, and then deliver
ed this judgment: Il cannot remem-
Der what l meant when 1 wrote it,
but 1 do remember that it was one
of the finest things l ever wrote, and
you cannot do better than devote
your lives TO the discovery of its
meaning. Manchester Guardian.

The news comes from Virginia that

OF that State, because he refuses to
swallow Mr.. Bryan's doctrine of gov
eminent ownership, and the Senator
will have vigorous opposition for re-
election because of il. Mr.. Daniel
is in lots of good Democratic compa-
ny in his objections to Mr. Bryan's
ultimate remedy, and it is thor
oughly silly to seriously talk about
retiring him from the Senate for any
such reason II is evidently a cum
ming pretext on the part of some poll
tician who wants 10 be Senator from
Virginia himself and has been here
tofore short of a reason for announc-
ing his candidacy. 4 majority of the
political leaders Of the South think

would be as just and logical to send
them all back to private life as TO

THE HERALD,s PLAN.

the roads or parallel every existing
mile of track If the railroad people
won't sell out. Its plan is as fol-
lows: 50
Appoint . board of experienced
capable. honorable civil engineers to
appraise the value Of the property Of
each railway system. and let the gov
eminent offer the owners that value
in interest bearing bonds. If the
owners in any case decline a price
equal to the actual value of their
property, let the government at once
proceed to build a parallel line and
operate it. How? By using 3 per
cent. bonds, which would be taken
at premium as fast as they could
be issued. To illustrate: we will say
that here is a railroad that cost $751;
900 a mile to build and equip. If
the owners refuse to take what it
would actually cost to duplicate this
road, then let the government dHpli-
cate 1t, that is parallel it. This would
solve the problem of purchase in a
hurry. We need not any of US be
in desperate haste to do this thing.
but let US give the railroads time
to collect their wits. grasp the sit
uation and understand the temper
OF the people and the possibilities
Of the future, and then they may
treat the people so nicely that all
hostility, all thought of government
ownership may disappear" 4 H.

EXAMPLE To LIVE OAK LADIES.

We have from time to time re-
ferred to the good work of the ladies
of Ocala who have organized and are
successfully conducting a City I'm
provement Society, and we had hoped
that the ladies of Live Oak would be
stimulated by this example to organ
lie such society here But thus far
no results have followed 1t is a
most appropriate and useful field in
which to employ the energies of pub
lic-spirited women who are not only
anxious to see our city improved and
beautified. but desire to contribute
70 that end themselves. The other
sex would undoubtedly give a gem
eroUs and effective cooperation in
the work in the way of practical as
sistance, and if the ladies of Live Oak
would organize such a society it
would be a matter of common pride
with US all to help make it a success.
These remarks have been suggested
by the following from the Ocala Star
which shows the practical good now
being accomplished in that city by
the ladies of the City Improvement
Society and how the business men are
giving them material cooperation
and assistance.
The ladies of the City Improve
ment Society are proud of a piece of
work they have just finished, and
their pride is just one. The ladies
have paved a sidewalk. four feet wide
and sos feet long, from the end Of
Oklawaha avenue to Lovers lane,
leading out TO Greenwood cemetery,
and have done the work we'll, first
having placed substantial wood
eurbing to hold the material in place.
The Ocala Lime Company very gen.
erously donated the lime rock for the
work, and thereby enabled the la
dies to do the work at very low cost.
Juu6C w. -. DullOCh Will SuOl lAe
build a sidewalk from the end of the
one the ladies have Just built, past

end of the walk on Oklawaha avenue.
The following firms have agreed to
place seats along the way, through

and rest as they pass along: McIver
