IS IT SO ?
The London Graphic reports that
M. Waddington, presiding at the
annual dinner in aid of the French
hospital in London, said, referring
to the Anglo-French alliance, that
any difference between the two
countries might almost he called
lover's quarrels.
Did the wooing of bluff King
Hal to Katharine, in the prophetic
eye of genius, typify the present
relations of the two countries?
"Fair Katharine and most fair,
Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier tears.
Such as will enter at a lady's ear,
And plead his love-suit at her gentle heart."
From the wild struggles and more
ferocious loves, marked by all the
bitterness of abiding hate, is evolved
these soft words, showing the trust
built up between the two countries
bv the necessities of modern times:
from the blunt wooing of the sol
dier King, and the shy, sweet resis
tance of the gentle maiden, comes
the business-like friendship of two
gray haired ministers !
Between the hardy virtues of
England and the graceful, generous
pride of her spirited rival, our sym
pathies have been often balanced
and confused in the glowing pages
of Froissart, only to be disturbed
anew by the sober pages of later
history.
What Harry's love and Kate's
beauty could not do, has been ac
complished by the hard necessity of
mutual protection from the martial
soldier-machines of Germany, the
trained millions of the Czar, and the
leveling powers of dynamite. It
is an incident oi good omen to the
world when its two foremost na
tions can truthfully so swear such a
union, but how far less picturesque
than the old nuptuals?
Once the haughty maiden could
not be won but by sacrifice hardly
paid to the bloody god of war; the
warrior leaped to the arms of his
lady-love with torn plumes and bat
tered shield stoutly kept at deadly
peril. How different was England's
language when she spoke by the
mouth of the Fifth Henry V
"You have witchcraft in your lips,
Kate; there is more eloquence in a
sugar touch of them than in all the
tongues of the French council, and
they should sooner persuade Harry
of England than a general petition
of monarch." However this may
lie, we are glad to see the princely
pair bound by holy ties, even though
Gladstone and M. "Waddington offi
ciate at the wedding, with arguments
and figures as attendants instead of
the robed and jeweled beauties, the
gallant pages and hardy knights
who witnessed the betrothal of
Harry and his lovely Kate.
Uncle Sam has no necessity for
such union; the proud old bachelor
attends their merry-makings, but
cares not one whiff of his pipe for
the wrangles and fears of the now
belittled nations of the old world.
Old England may wed Aunt
France with her false front and af
fectation of youthful vivacity.
Uncle Sam congratulates the couple,
but soon returns to his work of civ
ilizing a continent and conquoring
the rivers and myuntains of his spa
cious domain.
LOCAIj option and the demo.
CKATIC PARTY.
We hope that no considerable
number of the democrats of this
state wish to make the local option
law an issue in the next campaign.
It has never been the policy of the
democratic party of Florida to fur
nish or deprive the people of liquor.
The existing local option law did
not originate, nor was it adopted
nor has it been enforced as a party
measure. Upon the propriety of its
passage, the wisdom of its provis
ions and the efficiency of its opera
tions, republicans differ from, repub
licans, and democrats from demo
crats. And this difference must
continue, for the taste for good
whisky can't be destroyed bv cold
water paper platforms, nor can the
love of water be lessened by party
pronunciamentos.
It must be evident, therefore, that j
should the party declare against lo
cal option a very large number of
voters will immediately withdraw
from the ranks. On the other hand,
should the advocacy of local option
be made a test of party allegiance,
an equally large body of men who
are opposed to such a plank will at
1 "I 1
once secede anci organize m deter
mined opposition?
This democrat drinks; that dem
ocrat don't. This democrat believes
in freedom of taste and its enjoy
ment; that democrat believes in the
suppression of what he considers
harmful to himself and society. But
both believe, heart and soul, in the
principles of the democratic party.
Both wish a reform of national and
state abuses. Both are willing to
cast their ballots for a democratic
governor of Florida, and a demo
cratic president of the United States.
Let us then relegate this question
to be disposed of by community
sentiment and its consequent action.
Thus differing democrats will be al
lowed the expression of individual
conviction unfettered by party affil
iation. Put down the water pitcher and
the whisky jug, bos. Yonder comes
tho enemy. He who divides tha
the ranks now, if he knows what he
is doing, is a criminal; if he doesn't,
he's a fool.
TAXATION'.
In such a county as ours, the
man who makes a satisfactory as
sessment must possess a combina
tion of qualities rarely found in one
person. He must value orange
groves and waste lands, hotel prop
erty, city lots, furniture, railroads,
merchandise, farms ami agricultural
implements, with all the diverse
needs of a costly civilization.
One man cannot do this; he must,
have the judgment of Minos and
the eyes of Argus, Let three per
sons in each precinct constitute a
board Avhich shall be furnished a
map of the township and meet for
three days to make public assessment
in the presence of their immediate
neighbors, subject to the equalizing
revision of the county commission
ers. PROM I N EXT PEO PLE.
Brown. It is hinted that Senator
Brown, of Georgia, desires a portifolio in
in the cahinet of the next deiuecratic
president.
Logan. CJeneral John A. Logan's
wife is still beautiful, graceful and witty.
She originates, plans and execute wisely
for the advancement of her husband, who
yields implicit obedience to her slightest
wislu
Gorpox. The difficulties oi railroad
building without money have aged John
B. Gordon very rapidly; and one misses
from his bearing much of that command
ing air which distinguished him a few
years ago.
Burke. It is said that Major E. A.
Burke, of the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
and General J. B. Eustis will present
themselves as candidates to succeed
United States Senator Jonas, whose term
expires in 188o.
Arnold. At a recent dinner party
Matthew Arnold declined a proffered
cigar, witli the remark that neither he
nor his father ever smoked. "But," ho
added, "I have a son who smokes for his
grandfather and his father,"
Cassagnac Paul de Cassagnac, Bon
apartist, writes in Le Matin, urging that
the Bonapartists and Royalists should
unite with a view of effecting the down
fall of the republic. Napoleonism and
Orleanism, he says, are only different
lalels for the same sort of cordial.
McDaniel. Henry D. McDaniel, the
present governor of Georgia, is a con
firmed ami painful stutterer. He was a
captain in the Confederate army, and his
men complained that while he could al
ways give the command to "march"
with ease, yet "f-f-f-fall b-b-b-b-b-back"
killed nearly the whole command.
Toombs. Famous old Bob Toombs has
recently joined the Methodist Church,
and the" boys are now recalling his noted
remark upon Joe Brown's gift of foo.OOO
to a Kentucky Baptist college: "Well,"
said the general, 'my opinion is that
$5o,000 worth of stock in a water com
pany on this earth is very poor insurance
against hell-fire in the next."
Ruskin. Mr. Ruskin is a curiosity.
He is sixty-five years old and five feet
and five inches in height. His face is
covered to the eyes with iron gray beard.
His forehead is low and retreating; his
eyes gray and sparkling; his dress is a
combination of the antiquated and the
bizarre. To those who are unaware of
his identity lie seems to le "a funny lit
tle man,"

cago Ilomueojiathio College.
These baths have been used in France and
Germany for many years by at least a score of
the most jiromineiit physicians with marvel
ous results. The largest institution of the
kind in Europo is at Keichenhall, conducted
by the celebrated Dr. Von Licbig (son of Pro
fessor Von Licbig, the distinguished chemist).
The following letter was received from him
nearly two years ago:
Munich, 25 March, 1S!.
Dr. J. L. Stone:
Dit. Slit "Excuse my delay in answering
your letter. I had to wait for a copy of the
accompanying article on the action of com
pressed air to send to you. The pneumatic
chambers at Peichenhal'l (proprietor Mr. E.
Mack), are still enlarging the circle of their
patrons. East summer there were so many
applicants that at the highest of the season
the new comers had to wait from eight to
fourteen days for a seat, and the sittings went
on tho whole day. There were in the whole,
1507 persons, who took more than ti.OOO single
air-baths. In consequence, Mr. Mack is erect
ing now a new chamber with twelve seats, and
will be able, with this and tho others, to ac
comodate twenty-nine persons at a time. The
establishment at Keichenhall is frequented on
ly during the summer. I shall return to
Keichenhall for the season in the beginning of
May."
The Doctor goes on to enumerate several in
teresting works, giving the remarkable results
of this treatment and closes with the most cor
dial encouragement.
Our e.xiK'rience in Rochester has satisfied us
that in probably ninety per cent, of the eases
coming for treatment, the Condensed Air
Paths alone will cure, or do infinitely more for
them than any other or all other means
united; yet in exceptional cases, other agents
may lie advantageously combined as auxiliary
treatment, hence 1 have appliances for im
proved Turkish, plain and medicated water
baths, salt, sponge, sit, sun baths, etc.
The appliances for giving electricity are
modern and complete. I have studied every
branch of medicine in both schools, and do not
hesitate about giving medical or surgical treat
ment when needed.
Invalids are confidently requested to visit
this institution on returning North, which
they will find furnished with elevator, electric
call lells and every comfort of a first-class
sanitarium; and yet there is nothing of the
"hospital" air or appearance.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of The Sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all The Si n printed and sold last year
you would get a continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way back to the moon again.
Put The 'Scn is written for the inhabitants
of the earth: this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Scn during
the past year has sent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in IStel has af
forded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
It is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspaiers, or of
its influence on tthe opinions and actions of
American men and women.
The Scn is, ami will continue to be, a news
paper which tells the truth without far of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shajK?, which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore le
lieves that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, ls4.
If you know Thi Scn you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know The Sex, it is high time to get into tho
sunshine.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, Ixs4.
Tiik Timf.s will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever le
fore in its history - more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
licrcely ci h ici.ed, wit h a more complete or
gan i.at ion, and an able ss iff of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
The Ti.mks has no party to follow, no candi
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lic welfare. And. while maintaining its posi
tion as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to Ik; continually in the advanc) in all
that ran add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
di.-play. but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. Tut: Timks si nds lavishly for news
from all parts of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc
tive reading. The liest writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
cle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of everv political, religious and social
ta.-te.
The Weekly Times is altogether different
from the weekly nowspaiers of twenty veal's
Hsu. The day of those pafiers have gone by.
The telegraph and I letter local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of riirai population, have made the old weekly
metropoiitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forward-moving jieople; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their former power.
Those paiers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone: and. with it. they are going, too. It
was not the fault of the papers: it was the im
provement of the country that brought about
the change;. Men and women, wherever they
live, now reouire fresher news; and they re
quire more than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large, and sets it liefore
them in such generosity of paix-r and print as
would have astonished us all twenty yeorsago.
DAILY' Twelve cents a week, tifty cents a
month, SO a year, two cents a copy.
SUNDAY Four cents a copy. 2 a year.
EEKLY One copy. a year ; live copies,
58 a year ; ten copies. Vl" a year ; twenty cop
