Hillsborough wanted to set up house
keeping for itself. In the BlOxham
county movement, a small proportion
of the population of Levy, not being
able to control their own county,
tried not only to secede, but to take
a part of Marion. The people of the
affected portion of Marion were not
consulted in the matter. 1t was fore
ed on them. To the Stars positive
knowledge, a majority of the white
voters of the Marion precincts con-
cerned are against division. If Straub
will read the Star carefully he will
find every day mention made of men
in Northwest Marion who unequiv-
ocalIy declare they wish to remain in
their old county. Why should the
editor of the Star fight for "Blox-
ham," when hundreds of Bloxham
men are fighting against it. For per-
haps the second or third time in your
life, Straub, you have committed the
error of measuring another mans
corn In your half bushel.

A dispatch from Amsterdam says:
The Prussian casualty lists from No.
302 to No. 300, give the names of
40,245 killed, wounded and missing,
according to the Nieuwe Rotterdam
sche Courant Total Prussian losses
published up to August IA, amounts
to 1,740,836 killed, wounded and miss
ing, says the paper. When it is re-
membered that this does not include
the losses among the Bavarians, Sax
ons and soldiers of the other German
states, and that the Austrians have
also suffered heavily, it will be seen
that the drain on the Teutonic~powers
is fearful.

The city council, being all young

in the 70's, might refresh their recol-

ed States NOTED its members, and es-
pecially the effect on their political
future it had on those who voted for
it.-Old Timer in the Banner.
The people of Ocala are perfectly
willing to pay the councilmen for
their work, and so far from the pres
ent aldermen being frightened by
"Old Timers" threats, it is going to
be hard work to induce them to run
again after their present terms are
out. No telling who "Old Timer" is,
but man who assails another mans
character over an assumed name is
always coward, and if "Old
Timers" identity was known it would
probably be found that he was some
one who had demanded all he could
obtain from the city for all he ever
did for it.

State Controller Knott has been for
some weeks the subject of severe
criticism on account of the bank fail
ure in Jacksonville last winter, and
some more recent failures; also on
account of the ENHANCEMENT of the
Florida Life. Some say he should
have prevented the failures; others,
that he should prosecute the dishon-
est or incompetent bank and insur-
ance officials. The Star begs Mr..
Knott's critics to be reasonable.
Florida is not the only state where
banks suspend and insurance COM
panies go into bankruptcy. If a set
of bank officials deliberately go to
work to wreck a bank, it is possible
for them to do so in spite of all the
officials in the country. We may
have laws by the score and officials
by the hundred, but the main stay of
a bank has been and always will be

the character Of the men who man
age it. And as for prosecuting the
guilty parties, unless the Star Is
greatly mistaken. that Is the business
of the courts. Unless the Duval
county grand jury brought indict-
ments against the bank and insur-
ance company officials, the Star does
not understand how Controller Knott
could have them arrested and tried.
Ihe Star thinks the state government
at Tallahassee is somewhat afflicted
with dry rot and needs a shaking up.
