al convention in Palatka, July 2nd, at

The primary meeting of Precinct No. 8,
will lie held at the Court House in Palat
ka on Juneoth, at 12 m. All conservative

About the weightiest ticket the
Chicago Republican convention can
put before the country at this time
is ITenry Ward Beecher ami Susan
Ji. Anthony. Ben Butler would
probably take the stump in behalf of
this couple.
The eyes of the country are on
Chicago. The eyes of Chicago are
on the patriots who are bent on sav
ing the country by nominating the
man who will pay the most for their
votes, and the cautious citizen of
that burgh lias put double locks on
his door for his better protection
while the g. o. p. is in convention
assembled. i
Mr. David A. Wells savs: "The
cry for revenue reform can be heard
from one end of New England to
the other. If the Democrats give
us the right sort of a tariff plank at
Chicago, and plant the right sort of
a man on the platform, the returns
from New England will be startling.
I don't expect free trade, but an
honest pledge of revenue reform."
The apologists of the "firpt citizen
of the republic" say that he cannot
be held morally responsible for the
doings of Grant & Ward. Too
true, too true. No one with ordi
nary intelligence would ever think
of holding Grant "morally" respon
sible for anything. His dense intel
lect and selfish nature has long since
blighted what little idea of moral re-
nponsibility he may have possessed
The artesian well is solving the
question of irrigation in Florida
They prove successful wherever
sunk, and thus offer a certain and
cheap method of furnishing all the
water needed. Thk News has mi
merous inquiries in regard to them
from persons living at a distance
and owning groves in the State, and
all so far heard from express their
intention of sinking a well in their
groves.
It is now an almost universal belief
among Democrats that a milk-and-water
policy during the coming
campaign will only result in defeat
If the Chicago couvention will give
us a platform embodying the coin
age of the party's couvictions, and
nominate men with spotless records.
victory is as sure to perch on our
banners as that election day will
dawn. What the Democratic party
needs to do is to be Democratic.
On this point there is a great deal of
truth in the following from the Phil
adelphia Record:
"One thing that ails the Pennsyl
vania Democrats is the amount of
drubbing they have undergone since
1850. It has somewhat broken them
up and weakened their faith in them
selves. The same thing is to be ob
served in Virginia. There was a
day when Virginia Democrats could
not have been persuaded to adopt
milk-and-water tariff resolutions. If
the party shakes oil its temporizers
and expediency men at Chicago and
puts a solid man upon a solid plat
form, it will work a wonderful
change in all the states. The Dem
ocrats that were Democrats before
the war are mightily inclined to go
back to their old party if it can on
y pluck up courage to be itself
lagain."
LOOK TOTHK PRIMARIES.
The election of 1684 involves!
principles not men, and its result
will stamp an indelible impress on
the future of Florida. We have
presented to our readers as clearly
as we could all the prominent is
sues at stake; we have expressed
our opinions boldly and have hon
estly given the reasons urging us to
the advocacy of our ideas or tho re
jection of the plans and purposes of
others. And now the time draws
near when the people must decide,
and make for themselves the future
of their State for four years.
Let us not neglect any step how
ever small, which may take us to
wards the good of our desires. Our
chief anxiety is lest apathy may
possess the land. Let the voter
think carefully and act intelligently.
It is the careless Democrats who are
to blame. The importance of the
occasion cannot be exaggerated. If
the decision is made after conscien
tious examination, then we shall bo
satisfied, whether the people agree
with us or not. But the primaries
of the present week will virtually
make choice of the men and meas
ures upon which the battle will be
fought. Let the precincts send their
best men to the county conventions
throughout the State; let the coun
ty conventions mark out the plan of
the campaign, and then the State
convention at Pensacola, assured
that within that body is included
the best elements of the party, can
have no difficulty in so locating the
field of battle and naming the gen-t-ral
that victory will be assured.
No party with such a record as ours
need fear independents even under
better leadership than that of Pope,
if we will perform the duty we owe
to our State and above all, to our
selves, the nominees of the party
will be enthusiastically supported
by the people. No more truckling
for specious prelects to gain popu
larity; Give i s the r, est man; give
i s a Democratic platform; give
rs assurance of a Constitutional
convention-. Principle isefore
expediency. Look, to the prima
ries. A very able correspondent writes
from Paris to a London paper: "There
is a widespread feeling of uneasi
ness, in Paris especially, which noth
ing can allay. Not that people ap
prehend immediate trouble, but they
feel that though the republic is es
tablished it offers no security for
the future. Consequently there is a
disinclination to embark upon new
commercial and industrial enterpris
es, and the hoped-for revival of
business in the spring is still to come.
Curiously enough, the stagnation
extends to matters artistic and thea
trical. The latter phenomenon is
well worthy of not ice, seeing that
in the most stormy days of the First
Revolution the theatres displayed
the greatest activity. Paris rarely
deprives itself of the lititious drama,
whatever may be the real ones per
formed there. But though the
situation is strained enough, we have
not reached so acute a period, and
still there is little novelty."
In England, the first four Free Mason's
lodges were established June 24, 1717,
the leading spirits K-ing Desaguliers, a
French Huguenot, and James Anderson,
a Scotch Presbyterian, who compield the
"Book of Constitutions." There are now
sixty provincial grand lodges and -1,200
lodges in England, besides a grand chap
ter for the royal arch degree, a grand
lodge for the work Masons, a grand con
clave of Knights Templar, and a supreme
grand council of the ancient and accepted
right of the thirty-three degrees. In Ire
land, the first lodge was founded in 1730
at Dublin, and there are now 3")0 of them :
in Scotland the first grand lodge was
opened in 1736, and there are now 400.
The present ruler of Afghanistan boasts
of his skill asn mechanic, a musician and
a physician. In each capacity ho be
lieves there is no Afghan to equal him.
To expect truth from an Afghan is like
looking for water in the desert, says a
writer in the London Times, but it is
said that Abdurrahman is an accom
plished liar and an adept in the art of
chicane. He is averse to the practice of
making oaths, but when he does make
one it is considered a sure sign that ho
has no intention of performing what he
has promised.
Bishop Warren, of the Methodist
Church, was struck in Mexico by the odd
and sometimes fantastic appellations of
the small stores. A grocery in a room 7
by 12 feet displayed the name of "The
Philosophy.' On the grog shops may be
seen the following frank and significant
titles: "The Charmes of the Seducto
ressy' "The Birth of Venus," "Thr Kiss
of Love," "The Toast of Bacchus," "The
Life Eternal," "The Vesuvius," "The
Shihwreck," "The Delirium Tremens"
and "The Little Hell."

Thk Ti.mkh will enter upon the new year
st router and more prosperous than ever bo
lore in its history more widely read ami
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
fiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganization, and an able ssotT of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
Thk 1'imks hits no party to follow, no candi
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the ritfht, to honest irovernment, and the pub-lit-welfare.
And, while maintaining ita jKsi
tion as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to Ik? continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value of a newspajxT is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. The Timks sjH-nls 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 andattractiveshape.and with
it a large variety of entertaining and instruc
tive reading. The lest writers at home ami
abroad are employed to enrich it columns,
and to make it a journal adapted both to tho
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
cle. "a welcome visitor to intelligent and homwt
citizens of every political, religious anil social
taste.
Thk Weekly Times is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural imputation, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forward-moving people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness, and
they have but a shadow of their lormer power.
Those papers 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 alwiut
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now refiu ire fresher news; and they re
quire more than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off the tvpea of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people at large, and sets it tefore
them in such generosity of paper and print as
would ha vc-astoiiLshed us all twenty yeorsago.
