The prestige of unbroken victory
and unchecked advance has depart
ed from the German banners, and
unless the Kaiser has a trump card
up his sleeve to take all his adver-
saries' tricks, his invasion of France
has come to a halt that may end
in something worse than retreat
German military resources have
amazed the world, but with the last
reserves of old men and boys called
out it is evident that the agony of
superlative tension has arrived and
in a very short time we will know
if Germany is to win or lose in her
desperate gamble for success. With
the allies being steadily reinforced
and at least holding their own
while the Russian advance is max
ing it's way towards Berlin, the
Kaiser would need to be more than
a Napoleon to pluck victory from
such heavy odds.

Governor Trammell, who was in

that "he had no man in view to be
appointed now or after the general
election. That is sufficiently def

Wars and rumors of wars are not
worrying the people of the fine lit
tie West Florida city of Apalachi-
cola just now. They are pleasantly
excited for very different reason
Apalachicola is classic synonym
for oysters in the ears of Floridians
and the residents of nearby States,
and the annual opening of the oys-
ter season, the biggest event in that
city, is scheduled for Sept. 1884.
This year the celebration will be
on an unusually elaborate scale and
during the three days there will be
a delightfully."- varied program for
the entertainment of the guests.
The Telegram acknowledges the re-
eeipt of an invitation from the

ATLANTIC COAST LINE.

An education in itself is the
display OF the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company. 1t
occupies the entire eastern end
of the new horticultural build
ing Just inside the sixteenth
street gate and is in charge of
Guy a. Cardwell, OF Washing
ton, North Carolina, as the rail-
way CompanN's agricultural
and immigration agent. There
have been many strong agricul-
tural exhibits at former Leba-
non Fairs but they pale before
that OF the Atlantic Coast Line,
with which they are not to be
compared. The railroad passes
through a stretch of Southern
country, five thousand miles in
length extending through Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
Alabama and its exhibit is
made up OF the fruit and forage
products of these States. The
railroad company has undertake
en- to exploit the country which
its system taps and in providing
the display presents a most con-
elusive argument in favor of its
proposition to so there and
thrive with the fast growing
agricultural life. Everybody OF
the many thousands who have
inspected the display have mar
yelled at the size and beauty of
the fruits, which are preserved
inlarge glass jars, and the for
age of tremendous growth and
value. The fruits
include grapes, strawberries,
pears, peaches, lemons, lines,
pineapples, tomatoes, and many
others. There is the finest
kind of corn, tobacco, sweet po-
tatoes. watermelens. pumpkins.

most tastefully and to

The Orlando Sentinel opines that
as Henry Watterson missed it so
badly in his estimate of Woodrow
Wilson prior to that gentleman IS
election, he may be equally wrong
in his appraisement of Emperor Will
liam. But the cases are different
Marse Henry belittled President
Wilson because the latter had snub-
bed him, and thus wounded him in
his most sensitive part. This per-
verted his judgment, gave him a
crouch, and he was grossly unjust
to Mr.. Wilson in consequence. But
he has no crouch against the Kaiser
and he writes of him assimpartially
as Gibbon of Roman emperor, and
with much more data to guide him.

The beer-swillers now have their
little grievance "agin the guv'
ment" seeing that Congress has i'm
posed a tax of fifty cents key on
beer to raise more revenue because
of diminished customs receipts in
consequence of the European war.
The brewers would seem to be the
PROPER persons to kick, but they
know full we'll that the consumer
pays the tax in this as in most 9TH
er cases and there will be no di-
minished receipts at the box office.

tragic features, don't know what
it is. / frequently have good
laugh at the idea that because | can

The Miami dailies are calling each
other liars over the question of the
relative merits of their war news
service. And the strange part of it
Is that they both take the same SER
vice, the trouble arising from the
fact that one charges the other
with adding fake dispatches to the
legitimate ones. In such q case
mediation would doubtless be reject
ed and arbitration scorned, and the
issue must be fought out to an in
consequent finish as is the case with
most newspaper wrangles.
