But there been for worse ases than this, with far more sin and soirow, per capita, the differcree being that there were no daily papers then to tell the story and the world was too steeped in ig- norance and barbarism to read it even had it been told. Here is some- thing on this subject good to read have from the St. Petersburg Independ- ent ! “Is it all so bad? Let us hope it is 1 The age is one in which 2ll things are being made known. Evii was onee conccaled is con- stantly laid bare. It is the age ot publicity. VFor one thing, the news- paper is like Asmodeus, that won- der-y of old, for whom the ‘ thie houses did not exigt, and v down into the sceret lives H people in the privacy of ANy And it is not alone th journadists who wre laying thin s bare. Publie oflicers, prose- cutors, lezislators, and a thousana inquiring socictics and investigating arcoeies are co-operating to reveal everything that once was hidden. The congcience of the public has become acate. It has turned the light into the dark corners. There' i€ evil in these corners. It {8 not pleasant to see it, or hear about it. Put the knowledge that it is there will help us to get rid of it. The main thing is to want to be rid of it. And at last, we may be sure, the disposition to be rid of it has been reached.” RERARES THEY ARE URGED TO GET OUT. The New York World, which Is supposed to express the standard party thought of the time, has u very poor opinion of the democracy of those Florida Democrats who threaten to go over to the enemy if the tariff on citrus fruits is removed or greatly lowered. The World talks to these gentlemen in very plain fashion and intimates that their room is better than their com- pany. Says that paper: “Soon we ehall have other men- aces of the same kind, and if the Pemocrats prove true to thelr pledzes we need not doubt that there will be some actual defections. Be- sides orange-and-lemon Democrats, there are sugzar Democrats, iron- and-steel Democrats, zine Democrats and Standard Oil Demoerats, 19y 5 one of them will be angry when hi own cherished graft is taken out of the tariff.” Not a doubt abeut it. Pvory D ocrat who grows or malkes thing that ean ve protected wily vant it protected, and he will hav. to ficht it out at the bar of hi. consistency, his private inter ests polliny in one dircetion and party loyalty in another.

On the contrary, they are urced to ot ont and do it This for instinc l boltine of this qQe- scription ouslt to be enconraceg : along the line.

The Webb liguor bill which has Just passed both Ilouses of Congress end lacks only the president’s si-- pature to become law, will not pro-| hibit the liquor trafiic to the extent ' that a good many people think. It will stop the ghipment of intovicat fng liquor into *“dry” States— from Jacksonville over into the pro- crop condi, | the State ol ueo 0 m !slance—~but that doesn’t mean that "the thirsty Georgia citizen who I\\'uum his “four full quarts” for hi: ' personal delectation and destruction is shut off from his Jacksonvill: 'joint of supply.
