THE LATE MR.. STEVENSON

A paraphrase of the slang of the
times. "Adlai get your AK" printed
by Mr.. Dana, on the day Mr.. Steven
son was inauguarated as Vice-Presi-
dent, was long cited as a triumph of
felicity in paragraphing reduced to
the lowest terms of brevity and con-
veying a momentary but decided i'm
preston of the comic. For il was
as Fourth Assistant Pstmaster-Gener-
al, decapitating the Republican post
masters of minor Offices and putting
reliable Democrats in their places
that Mr.. Stevenson had won his great
est celebrity. The few cartoonists of
Mr.. Cleveiand's first term delighted to
represent him as the headman.
His name was twice associated with
Democratic national tickets. He was
nominated in 1892 as a part of far
seeing and entirely successful plan
for gaining Illinois for Democracy.
His position afforded him small OPP
portunity for using on Republican a
buses the AK he had formerly welded
on Republican barnacles in Office, but
he is wildly remembered as having
discharged with unexpected dignity,
dissertation and diplomacy the duties
of the second parsonage in the admin
istration during the two difficult,
stormy years preceding the split in
the party in 1896.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FRIDAY

There was very little done in the
circuit court Friday.
The case of Mrs. ]. F. Thompson
against the city was non-suited. 1t
will have to be begun all over again.
Something like two years ago Mrs.
Thompson stepped on a faulty piece
of curbing and was thrown to the
pavement and received a fracture of
the wrist, and through her husband
brings suit against the city for fif-
teen hundred dollars damages. The
declaration in the case was filed some
time ago, and the evidence that Judge
Gober, Mr.. Thompson's attorney, in
tended to offer did not harmonic with
the declaration already filed. This
point was raised by Mr.. H. NJ. Hamp-
ton, attorney for the city, and was
sustained by Judge Bullock, so the
case goes over until the next term.
A default was taken against Mr.. j.
W. Crosby for three thousand dollars.
interest and attorneys fees. on a
promisory note in favor of the Mum
roe and Chambliss Bank.
A default was also taken against
Mr.. w. A. Jeffcoat on a promisory
note in favor of the Marion Hardware
Company for one hundred and seven
ty-five dollars, interest and attor-
ney's fees.
The case against the young man
from Anthony who was indicted for
forgery was set for Tuesday, May 25.
There being no further business be-
fore the court a recess was taken un-
til this morning at 8 o'clock.

BIG DAY AT BLITCHTON

Those who attended the picnic din
ner and public speaking at Blitchton
Friday say that the Blitchton section
did itself proud.
The crowd was estimated at fully
two hundred and fifty, of not three
hundred, and every one present ap-
peared to be in happy frame OF
mind.
Mr.. Glenn Terrell, candidate for
state senator, was present, and al
though he has no opposition he feels
it his duty to attend these meetings,
become acquainted with the people
and inform them of his attitude on
the various questions now at issue.
Mr.. Terrell was introduced as the
first speaker, and spoke for half an
hour.
Those who heard him say that he
made very fine impression.
All the candidates for the legisla-

similar to the ones they made at
Sparr, Anthony and Mcintosh.
Judge Koonce, candidate for state
attorney, was present for the first
time in Marion, and met his opponent,
Mr.. Scofield. They were both given
ample latitude.
All the candidates gave little ten
minute speeches and all acquitted
themselves handsomely.
Senator Carney, who threw so much
ginger into the campaign at Anthony,
was present, but refrained from
speaking.
The dinner was the drawing card.
In it's excellence and abundance it
was a reminder of the olden times.
1t is claimed that the people of that
section live on the "fat of the land"
and the dinner Friday went a long
way to prove it.
1t was "red letter" day in the
county itinerary.
Today the candidates will invade
the Oklawaha precinct, and big efforts
have been made to make it compare
favorably with if not exceed the
meetings held at other places.
1t is Capt. Martins and John Lew
is precinct, and they will not let it
be at the foot of the class.

Mr.. S. H. Martin, formerly connect
ed with the Commercial Bank of
Ocala, and afterwards receiver for the
Marion Grocery Company, is now
farming in the Fort Mccoy neighbor-
hood. He is farming for a double pur-
pose. One is because he enjoys it,
the other is that his health requires
outside exercise and fresh air. Mr..
Martin is experimenting with three
acre patch of corn from which he ex-
poets to gather fifty bushels per acre
or more. 1t is ordinary pine land.
If his expectations are realized we
hope that he will give our farmers
the benefit of his operations through
the columns of the Banner.

THE PROPER. SOLUTION OF A
CHURCH PROBLEM

Bishop Reese's discussion of the
question of the election of a colored
bishop to take charge of the work OF
of the Episcopal Church among the
negroes of the southern states is one
of much interest not only to the mem
bers of that church but to many
others and was no doubt very widely
read.
Sentiment in the church in the
South is very likely in line with his
views of the matter, which is that is
would not be wise to set apart the
members of colored churches into a
missionary district to be presided
over by a colored bishop, but that it
would at least be better to name one
of more suffragans to look after the
colored churches under the direction
of the white bishops.
The bishops in the south know in
timately the details of the problems
of the church which are peculiar to
this section. They doubtless know
them much better than do the bish-
ops of other sections of the country.
Bishop Reese approached the subject
with no tinge of prejudice, but with
view to aiding his church to do the
best things possible for the colored
