lyI

narrated as possible for these col-

r WILL NOT GO our OF BUSINESS

The returns show that the demo

cratic party was badly beaten andsomewhat demoralized in the lastelection but it is safe to say that litwill not go out of businessits bruiseswill all heal with time and thestorms of adversity will broaden andstrengthen it

The returns show that there is nootter place for the discontentedno-other hope for reformation except-in and through the democratic party

The populist vote the socialistvote the prohibition vote and thevotes of all other parties striving for

certain measure of reform are in-

consequential and their adherentswill see must seeto accomplish-what they are striving for in separ-

ate party organizations is uselessI

and futile and to be successful theymust join forces with the democrat-ic party

Mr Bryan makes this very clear inhis criticism of Mr Watson and M-

iWatsons predictions-

It is not in evidence that the demo

cratic party has outlived its useful-

ness or that the fundamental principles it stands for are dead-

It has stood for the right of an intelligent people to govern themselves-for human rights and personal free ¬

dom for the smallest tax consistentwith an efficient administration ofgovernment for the election ofUnited States senators by a directvote of the people for a graduatedincome tax and for the equal distri ¬

bution of the benefits and burdens of

I

government-

Its theory has been and still is tocare for the weal because the strong-

can care for themselvessee motto ofthe Ocala Weekly Banner-

It goes for the saying that thedemocratic party has been badlyengineered at times and has mademistakes but it is always willing-

to correct its mistakes and startover again-

It has stood the storms almost of-

a century and instead of going out ofpower is stronger today than it has

I been since Cleveland last defeatRegenerated and reconsecrated to

the work of equally distributing theburdens and the benefits of govern-ment and led by fearless earnestpatriotic leaders it will again addadditional luster to its long and im ¬

perishable record of usefulness-

It has received its most serious stabin the house ofjtsfriends but chastened-by defeat and learning a lesson ofthe futility a house divided againstitself its members reconciled andreunited w ll present a solidphalanx in 1908 and will give therepublican party all the fighting forwhich it is looking-

THE FALL OF PORT AR1HUR

The capitulation of Port Arthurafter a stubborn resistance of elevenmonths brings to an end the mostfamous seige in history-

At the beginning of hostilities be-

tween Japan and Russia Port Arthur-was garrisoned with an army of 40000 soldiers under command of Gen ¬

eral Stoessel and was thought to beI impregnable as it was surrounded by

high rock ribbed hills but nothing-seems to be impossible to the braveand wiry Japanese

When General Stoessel capitulated-his army had been reduced to 15000and these brave men were on thepoint of hunger and ctarvationHisfurther resistence would havebeen acrime against humanity-

The world is as high in its applause-of General Stoessels defense

Ias it is in praise of the heroism ofPort Arthurs captors

What effect tne fall of Port Arthurwill have urn the continuance of thewar between the two nations cannotyet be anticipated but of course itputs the Japanese at a great advant ¬

age

William S Jennings will retire fromthe governorship next week leavingbehind him a clean and honorablerecord of which all of Florida maywell be proud In his new field hewill continue to honor and benefitthe state As a captain of industry-he will adorn the broader field as hehas the governorship of the stateTampa Herald

LOOKING BACKWARD

As we write a copy of the Ocala

Daily Banner of January 1st 1SS9

lies before us

It tells us that great preparations

are being made for the opening of

the semitropical exposition which

is still remembeed so pleasantly byour people Hon Geo W Vilson

I the present able editorinchief of theTimesUnion was its president andMaj Chas W Campbell was itsgeneral manager-

In looking over its pages it is ob-

served that Time has been quite busy

with his scythe since that time andhas removed from our community-

many of its most notable landmarks-

Dr Thos P Gary was then mayorof the city and Hon Jno F Dunipresident of the city council andboard of trade

aud selected matterSince that issue of the paper was

printed our city has passed through-the fiery fu race having expe ¬

rienced the disastrous freeze thefailure of her banks and the depopu ¬

1 NEW YEARS CALLING

The custom of New Year calling-

and keeping open house on New Yearsday which was of such general ob

servance in this country a generationor so ago appears to have fallen intodisuse to a great extent-

It

°

was a pretty custom which made-

it possible for gentlemen of sociablehabits to call upon a great number offriends and extend pleasant greetings-and good wishes for the new year andit was also pleasant for the ladiesmarried and single to receive theirnumerous friends married and singleand exchange brief greetings-

But the custom drifted away fromits original simple features and homely

welcomes into a sore of rivalry fordisplay Society made the New Yearsreception a pretensive function withelaborateness detail which involvedtrouble and expense Instead of thesimple welcome with possibly a cupof tea a slice of cake and a friendor two to assist in the welcoming theopen house became the brilliantly il

luminated reception room with anelaborated spread and with a bevy offair women in evening toilettes andinstead of all the happy homes beingopen to visitors all day all were ciosecito visitors save one or two in a neigh-

borhood where society gathered todispense hospitality to callers whocame in groups and minced and sippedand indulged in small talk for just afew minutes before proceedings on

the rounds to the next function-In those earlier days of the custom-

of New Years calling it was supposed-

to be the proper thing for gentlemen-of all ages married and single to visittheir friends and for all homes to I

winch society had access to be open I

to friends of the family But with theenlargement of the custom of offeringtemping viands and fluids aud dis-

playing¬

handsome toilettes tnere cameto be a promiscium sort of callingwhich included some who took ad-

vantage¬

of the supposed privileges ofthe day to obtrude themselves intocircles which were o them unaccus-tomed

¬

=some who called on NewYears day and only on that one day-of the year

The New Year reception has taken-on this different phase nowadays that-it is more like the formal reception towhich the guests are bidden by specialinvitation It is not the open house-of a former time with its homely

I

cheer in which the ladies lookedradiant and lovely enough in smartfrocks and pleasing smil s but with ¬

out a suspicion of the laer day even-ing

¬I

toilette and when tie gentlemenknightly and well dressed dropped into wish their friends Happy NewYear and give assuraice of continuedgood wishes I
