PALATKA, FLA., MARCH lo. 1884. Down at Sanford the cucumber festival has displaced the boom for a free session of the assembly. Some how your medicine man manages never to get left. The effort to graft a fifty thou sand dollar vegetable picnic on to a two dollar and a half session of the legislature has'nt proven to be a dazzling literary success. We had hoped that the anxiety of the Gainesville liee for a free 'v-snvam a., Tal'aliassee would have expended itself by this, but it hasen't, and now, with large limpid tears in its sorrel eyes, it charges Billy Bloxham with being short on moral couracre. A northern drug firm sends us an advertisement, and wants us to take fit medicine in pay. Fit medicine ain't legal tender. We are willing to accept condition powders or para gorie. for the family, but we don't want to have tits just for the sake of doing a little foreign business. It don't make any diffeuenee with us from what section, county or baili wick in Florida the candidate for governor may come. We recognize no lines of division in the state, and don't intend to. "What we want, and all Ave ask for, is a capable man and democrat whose personal life is clean and whose political record is free from the taint and halt of de sertion or disloyalty. Give us such a man and Ave can Avin a great vic tory. Let us be done Avith this twad dle about "sections." We have no sections, and we have but one kind of democracy. Gold is going out of the treasury, as Avell as out of the baaks, and not merely by the presentation of gold certificates, Avhich lessens the obli gations of the treasury as well as the cash, but by the purchase of silver and the redemption of legal tenders. With a very large surplus revenue, the treasury has &10,)oo, 000 less money really available to pay its debts than it had at the end of last year, and in legal tender debts has 4,4.53,632 less to pay, since its holdings of legal tenders in excess of certificates are to that amount larger. Gen. A. 15. Pleasanton. W. II Averill and Thomas L. Rosser, three of the most distinguished cavalry officers of the late Avar, dined to gether at a St. Louis hotel a few days ago. All graduated at West Point, and Pleasanton and Averill became major generals in the Union armies, Avhilst Rosser rose to the rank of lieutenant general in the Confederate service. Pleasanton and Averill, says the Baltimore Sun are iioav jxor, and efforts are being made to place them on the pension rolls, Avhilst Rosser, Avho came out of the Avar without a cent, is said to be worth a half million dollars, made in railroading in the Northwest in lucky investments. mpuisoxjiEN r rou i)i:ns. The Xew York Times says it has "been shown in the Lmllow street jail inuiry that, notwithstandino; the ostensible abolition of imprison ment for debt in that state, the pro cess itself continues to exist. Xo matter what the technical definition of the practice, it is in evidence that a man may be arrested, lodged in jail, and kept there for years, on a civil process, and because he is una ble to meet his liabilities. This is beyond serious controversy the iden tical evil called imprisonment for debt which the people of Xew York undertook to do away with as a relic of barbarism. Here is a man who has lain in jail five years for no criminal fault, and who, for all that can be perceived, may languish there five years longer. In this case, too, the wrong is doubled through the bad management of the prison. Had this man been a burglar or a forger, and been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary, his lot would have been much pleasanter than in Ludlow street jail. He would have had plenty of Avholesome food, sufficient clothing and consid erate treatment. But not being a criminal, only a debtor, he has been half starved, exposed to brutal treat ment and shows Iioav closely New York, in the fourth quarter of the nineteenth century, can imitate the foul English prisons of a hundred years ago. COUNTY POIITfCS. In our county the political aspect is something phenomenal. Several attempts were made to organize an independent movement, but from the first the leaders on both sides, smiled, and paid no further attention to these futile efforts. Yet Avith the non-partisans abides the balance of power, and on their choice the victory Avill fall to one or the other party next fall. In 1880 Ave carried the county af ter a heated canvass by a close but easy majority against strong men; in 1882 Ave Avere beaten in about the same proportion. Probably noAvhere else in the south does such a state of tilings ex ist, and probably nowhere else in the state is this balance held by an element more cool in judgment or better trained to estimate the value of the politician's promises or the weight of party platform. On either side stand heated partisans, on either side are men trained and accustomed for years to fall into line and vote solidly for. party. Among democrats habit and con viction have been fortified by the experience, that even the best candi date may be so Aveightcd doAvn by the ignorant mass of the opposite party th:ft it is impossible to prom ise ourselves anything but evil from the domination of any republican however exemplary in private life. The utter futility of independent claims and promises are fully appre ciated in Putnam. Here Ave have some of the keenest and best trained politicians in the state; the issues between the two parties are always stoutly contested on strict party lines, and on each side the indepen dents have been quietly ignored be cause their claims present no real is sue to be carried before the people. Here is a hardly contested battle ground and the leaders know each other too well to make any attempt at befogging the real issue. The independent only throws away his vote, and in Putnam all realize the fact. The democratic candidates carry a number of votes always cast for the republicans in national af fairs, and which, by northern men, were always given to that party be fore their owners acquired citizen ship in Florida. The character of the candidate Avill be made an important factor in the next cannvaign, and both par ties are fully alive to the fact. We Avill base our platform on principle and Ave shall Avin. We can point to a prosperous ad ministration, the frugal management of the state government, low taxes, and entire freedom from all suspi cion of jobbing. We shall appeal to an intelligent constituency and the facts and figures are in our fa vor. Putnam county Aviil go democrat ic next fall and Bisbee Avill be al lowed to taste the sweets of private life in his far northern home. Intorostinjj to Smokers. Cor. X. Y. Times. As the Times takes up the cudgel readi ly to correct abuses, may I. us one of the people fond of god cigars, call your at tention to the following habit iinjeril ling health: A prominent physician told me lately that from the practice of cigar makers wetting the wrapper with their saliva and biting the end of the cigar into shape a spread of syphilitic disease was taking place: that he knew of several cases. Somewhat alarmed, I managed to visit a number of factories. Two-tlurds of the cigar-makers. I found, daub the whole end of the cigar with their salvia. Thinking that Cuban workmen might not do it, I visited places where they were employed, and found that not only did they use their saliva to make the wrapper stick, but that most of them be fore wrapping bit the end of the cigar into shape with their teeth. 'As the physi cian informs me that many of the cigar makers have sore mouths from disease, it is a dangerous as well as a beastly habit. Al13 A3X II.
