Our esteemed Democratic contem porary, the Chicago Herald, remarks that "protection as established in the Wilson bill is bad enough, but the Wilson bill protection plus an income tax is vintolerable. The Wilson bill plus an income tax will be suicide tor the Democratic party." ; TLe suicide will be complete with out using the income tax. The in come tax is. superfluous even for the purpose of killing the Democracy. It is not necessary for a suicide to take poison after hanging himself. Ex. .

Fa. ARP IN FLORIDA, Where There Are Many Visitors and Good Pisb'ng Places. TRE HOTELS RAPIDLY FILLING UP. And Arp Is Bewildered at the Magnifi cence of the One at Which Me is Stopping. . I saw two fishermen unloading a car go of salted fish from their boat at Tam pa. The barrels were all marked for Charleston. I interviewed these fisher men, and they told me they caught as many as 70,000 in a week down at Sara sota bay. Now I am done with fish stories. I left my folks fishing at Clear Water, but they are not so wild about it now, and will soon get tired. I saw a cirl hancr an enormous trout, and she held him- and played him around until ! he got tired, and a boat was sent-out to secure him. I guessed he weighed fif teen pounds, and others guessed twelve and ten, but when he was put on the scales he came down to nine. An old fisherman remarked that it was a sin to weigh a fish, for they always fall short. Tampa is lively. The hotels are filling up, trade is good, and money circulating just like it did before the panic. Most of this money comes from abroad and is quickly scattered around. Every other house is" either a hotel or a boarding house. The strangers come from every where up north, and many from Georgia and Tennessee. I came down with a man and his wife who were from north Michigan, and had never been south. It entertained me to see their amazement, for he said he had just put up 180 tons af ice before he left home. They are delighted with the country and the peo- pie. He said every bod was so kind and j Lnaborly, and that he had no idea of' finding such good people down south. 1 j think that his wife was almost afraid to j come, but she is in bad health, and she had just as well risk the rebels in Flor- , ida as death at home, and so she came. She has improved much within a week. The Tampa Bay hotel, where the mil lionaires congregate, has not yet filled up, but will be by the middle of the month. It is a magnificent house and so bewilders me that I feel solemn in its beautifnl apartments and don't dare to talk in my usual tone of voice. Everybody else seems to feel so too for it is not like a-hotel. While you are walking on violet carpets that cost $5 a yard, or sitting on chairs that cost 50 apiece, and see paintings on the walls that cost fcom 8100 to 85,000, and the whole building in a blaze of heavenly lights and delicious music charming the ear and delightful odors perfuming the air and the servants all in livery, a common man feels " like the old woman at the circus for the first time in her life. When the grand procession of beautiful horses, with their riders in 6pangled garments, came marching in, she said; "John, John, 'it'a more like the kingdom of heaven than anything I ever expected to see in this world," Now, with all that, I was invited to lecture in the music hall of this grand structure and I did it. It was just large enough for my audience and 1 am pleased to say that I was able to conceal my embarrassment. Not that I was afraid of the people who sat be fore me, but somehow I never feel at ease in a house that is so much finer than mine own. It is art, not nature, that makes me timid. Mr. Plant must be a wonderful man to plan such a grand system of railways and hotels and parks and steamship lines, and yet he makes no great noise in the world. i For years and years he has been per fecting this system, and every branch of it moves along like clockwork. Thousands of men are employed by him and his enterprises have added many millions to the value .of property in Florida. This beautiful city of Tampa is a monument to his genius. More than half a century ago Richard Henry. Wilde wrote a little poem, beginning "My life is like the summer rose," and the last verse was "My life is like the prints that feet Have left on Tampa's desert strand, Soon as the rising tide shall beat, All traces vanish from the sand, Yet as if grieving to efface . All vestige of the human race, On that lone shore, loud moans the sea, But none, alas! shall mourn for me." Mr. Wilde was an Irishman, who came over here after Emmet's untimely death, and settled in Augusta, and I 6Wppose he had some reason for penning such sad, sweet verses. I wish that he could see Tampa now. I wish that Rev. Frank Goulding was alive to see it, for it was here that he located that terrible devil fish that carried the boat and his children ("The young Marooners") far out to sea. There is no desert strand now; no lone shore; no devil fish. Lakeland is a little gem of a town, and I have ot found a better hotel in Florida than the Tremont. It is just fine enough and good enough for any body, Jt overlooks one of the prettiest laKce a nave yet seen, ana tne town is surrounded by. many others. This is quite a railroad centre and might have been a city if Tampa was farther off It will be citj Jyet; for such beautiful loca tions and surroundings are not common, even in Florida. ' As old Father Dobbins ased to say, "The Creator has quit mak ing1 land, but He keeps on making peo ple," and Lakeland will be found out before long. I have been to Bartow, the centre of the phosphate region. Thirty compa nies have organized within the county and millions of dollars invested in land and machinery. There is capital from Boston, New York, Baltimore, Rich mond, Pittsburg, Charleston, Savannah, Augnsta and Atlanta. But all is not gold that glitters. Of these thirty com- 1 panies only sixteen are in actual opera- j tion. Of these sixteen only seven have j ' made any money. There is phosphate j enough, but everything depends upon management ana location. 1 visitea one plant six miles in the country that 1 , is being operated by a receiver. What a ; i business this has got to be! The receiver! j j There ought to be a book upon it j ! just like the lawyers and doctors ! J and otter professions. it should ' j hs made a tevt hoSk in the schools, j i I think I would name it "The Lawyers I Harvest, the Creditors Grave and the ; Stockholders" Funeral." But this phos- ( ' phate business is yet in its infancy and j , improved methods of mining and w ash- I ing will soon be invented. The Peru- j vian islands are exhausted, and now j nature unlocks another storehouse in ; Forida that seems sufficient for centu ries to come. "What is it?" I asked. "Is it animal, vegetable, or mineral?' It is a mixture of all, they say, but chiefly mineral. I found some si ark ; teeth. They abound in all of it sharks teeth from one-fourth of an inch to four inches in length. - Some of those antidiluvian monsters must have been as large as young whales, but how in j the world did they all congregate on this peninsular when the great convul sion came that upheaved it? Verily the world is full of mysteries, and we know nothing hardly. Fortunes have been made here by the few who are shrewd and bold and who had good judgment and foresight. George W. Scott has sold part of his holdings for fabulous sums. He owned miles of phosphate lands on Peau river. Mr. Codington, the genial, energetic yankee ! mayor of Boston, bought largely at from i S5 to 810 an acre and sold for ten times ! that amount. I was his guest. "I fit ', ag'in you," said he, "but have come J down from Michigan to live with you i ahd I found a cordial welcome. If the j railroads would reduce transportation j to 1 cent a mile thousands of good, I hardy people from the north would come down, first to see, and then to j stay, and the result in a few years would be perfect harmony between the sections. What every town in the south needs is a leader a man of nerve and enter prise. Our people will follow but they fear to lead. Mr. Codington is a power in Bartow and will soon have water works and ah electric plant and street cars and another railroad. He has been a great traveler and lived some years in Peru while Henry Meiggs was building railroads for the government. He designed and built a gas plant near the apex of the Andes mountains for the sole purpose of lighting the tunnel that Meiggs bored for his wonderful ! rauroaa a roaa inai cost- ?j.,uuu,oou. That gas plant is 16,000 feet above the j sea leveL Everything for the railroad and the gas plant Was carried up cliff j roads on the backs of mules 300 pounds j to the mule. Just think of it! Yankee ; genius, yankee pluck was behind it alL j They are a wonderful people. "When a yankee is good he is very good, indeed, but when he is bad he is horrid." And that is what they think of ns. I reckon. I saw a skunk yesterday as it crossed the road a few miles out of town. It was a beauty. Our dog tackled it forth with, and then but you must ask the dog for further particulars. Bnx Arp. CURIOUS MATTERS. Borne of the Inscriptions nese Coins. Found on Chi The inscriptions on Chinese coins, like those on their tapestries, porce lains and other artistic productions, are always quaint, curious, and char acteristic. A gold coin issued by the Chinese government during the reign of Wu Tsung had upon its face the in scription "True virtue current money." A bronze piece issued during the sev enteenth century by Chwang Leih Ti bears the words: "Highest purity, cur rency money." The coin issued by Tsung from 1851 to 1833 bore the words, "Prevailing prosperity," the larger, also, "'Large money," and on the re erse "Value 100 times," meaning that their value was one hundred cash. A bronze piece issued during the same period bears the words: "Alwaya bright." Another piece of the same reign has upon its face: "Pre vailing prosperity, heavy money." The brass cash of the present em- - peror of China bears the words. "Brigkt beginning, current money," and on the reverse, "Treasury weight, one mace, and the name of the mint at which it was coined. The Korean coinage, whiph resembles the Chinese cash in many particulars in its inscriptions, bears the inscriptions, "Always peace ful, current money," and on the reverse, ''All four," which means that the coin should be good in all four di rections of the country. Another set of coins issued at the same mint in Seoul, Korea, is inscribed, "Great East," one of the names given to Korea, as the great country east oi China. Another word of character up on coin indicates "gate." which prob ably means that the coin is to go out for circulation among the people. Still another coin bears the words: "Great gate value of one hundred." In Japan the coins bear various in scriptions, some after the manner oi Chinese coins. Some of the older ones, which were coined two or three cen turies ago, bear the words: "For Heavenly protection," and upon the reverse, "Current money." Collector. "I will use it and no other." Mrs. j Nellie Bromer, Passaic, N. J., uses " this emphatic language. "I have used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup in my house for three years and would not be without it.

ANOTHER POMPEII. Volcano of Flame Rolls the Great White City. Over THE WORLD'S FAIR BLOTTED OUT. 4. Slagnificent Bat Terrifying Spectacle Am Awful Sacrifice of Wealth In the Destruction of Foreign Exhib its and Othr Property. Chicago, January 9. The liberal arts building, the largest structure in the world, together with nearly all the main buildings constituting the world- Dy nre jaE night. The fire started in the Casino, just east o the agricultural building and BOutn cf the peristyle, and rapidly spread to the other buildings. Directly past the scene of the great fire of the eold storage warehouse, hundred of spectators hurrieds from trains into the celebrated court of honor. There, suddenly, the confla gration came into view. Whirlwinds of blazing embers were being carried from the end of the court farthest from the administration building, high over the liberal arts building. The great golden statue of the re public could be seen lifting her liberty cap defiantly aloft through the clouds of smoke and flames. The fire had been burning less than an hour when a thunderous crash of falling timber and a tremendous shout from the crowd announced the collapse of the Peristyle. A moment later, another terrific yell from the crowd told that the liberal arts building had caught fire and the whole exposition was threatened. A dramatic incident marked th"e de struction of the Peristyle. One of the j ladders bearing a group 01 nremen ieii j with the columns, and one of the he I roic firemen went down to death while j a number of others suffeued injuries more or less severe. The sky was livid, brilliant at times, with falling sparks, showering the roofs of the art palace, woman's build ing, and the various state structures with fire. Every moment added to the thousands who beheld the scene, and but for the terrifying spectacle and the danger to life and property, it seemed as if the greatest gala night of the World's Fair was on in all its glory. Along the top of the Peristyle were scores of statues, and to the spectators on the east they appeared like gieantic human beings. The spectators at that time partly to guard their lives and prevent wholesale robbery of ex hibits had been largely driven by the police westward over the bridges from the lake and lined up in a solid mass against the electricity building. , Here they could see great blazing frag ments dropping- down on the exhibits below Through the glass roof could be seen pieces falling like boulders in an avalanche, crushing and burning the- exquisite French section and threatening the Russian and British sections. " A grand sight was presented, but it was one to sadden the hearts of thous ands. An immense amount of valua ble property that had not been taken from the buildings was also lost. The total number of packages in the buiid- - wuinr shirvmnt, was 24.000- t f whicn were foreign exhibits. The loss is estimated at $1,500,000. A BRUTAL MURDER. A German and His Wire Killed and Their Honse Fired. Marietta, O., January 14. Henry ' Saner, a respectable German and his j wife were murdered last night in" their j home, near Pinchtown, four miles north, and their son is missing. Their I barn was burned and the house had ) been 6et on fire, but neighbors arrived I in time to extinguish the blaze. Mr. ! and Mrs. Saner lay full length on the j kitchen floor. Their clothing was j burned from their bodies, having been j saturated with oil. The neighbors t put out the blaze and saved the bodies and the house from destruction. The ! floor was covered with blood which ebbed from eight bullet holes in the left side of Mrs. Saner's head and from a wound caused by a heavy blow in the back of Mr. Saner's head. A visit to the fire at the barn revealed nothing except burnt carcasses of horses and other stock. Many sup pose the boy was burned in the barn. The coroner soon arrived and Saner's pocketbook, containing 8320, was found. It is believed the entire family was murdered and that robbery was the object. HOWAR&'S JAIL LIFE. He Sines the Popular Sonzs of the Iay, Jackson, Tenx., January 15. Rev. G. F. B. Howard, of claim agency fame, is still at the county jail. He has the freedom of the corridors, and his wife spends the days with him. He has plenty of opportunity to con verse with his witnesses who are con fined in court awaiting the special term of the federal court in February. The government is getting its evi dence ready by that time, Howard seems cheerful, and hums the popu lar airs of the day as he walks up and down the jail corridor. A great many visitors apply for admission but the sheriff only admits members of his family. It is said Howard will write a book on his life. Make Good Farm Labor. Raleigh, N. C, January 15. Super intendent Leazar, of the penitentiary, says that the products from the five state farms this ' season, were 1,190 large bales of cotton, 50,000 bushels of corn, 12,500 bushels of peanuts and 3,000 bushels of wheat. Freshets caused heavy losses of some crops. Superintendent Leazar says that the trouble has been that the acreage of land in cultivation has not been large enough and so he is increasing it 50 per cent this year. One thousand acres are in wheat. He asserts that there is no better way of employing negro convicts than on a farn.

HOLDS Qj Mr. Cleveland Demanded That Ha Should Stop Down. HAWAII'S PRESIDENT WOULD KOT After IlearinR What Mln!gter Willis Had to Say President Dole Stated That He Would Take It Under Consideration. Victoria, R C, January 12. The latest reliable information from Hono lulu states that no advices have left there for the coast since the sailing of the United States cutter Corwin. Application was made by the Associ ated Press and the special correspond ent of The New York World for per mission to forward dispatches by the Corwin. ' This was in each case refused and dispatches were only put aboard afterwards - through the courtesy of those, who shall forever be nameless, even though the United States should endeavor to investigate the matter. The Corwin took the demand o Min ister Willis upon the provisional gov ernment to step down and out. Min ister Willis in making the demand of President Dole said: "The President of the United States has very much regretted the delay in the consideration of the Hawaiian question, but it is unavoidable. So much of it as has occurred since my arrival has been due to certain con ditions precedent, compliance with which was required before I was au thorized to conler with yon. The president also regrets, as most assur edly - do I, that any secrecy should have surrounded the interchange of views between our two governments. I may say this, however, that, the secrecy thus far observed has been in the interest and for the safety of all your people. "The president deemed it his duty to withdraw from the senate the treaty of annexation which had been signed by the secretary state and agents of your government and to dispatch a trusty representative to Hawaii to impartially investigate the causes of your revolution and to -ascertain ahd report the true situatioa in these islands. This ' information was need ed the better to enable the president to discharge a delicate and important duty." It becomes my further duty to advise you. sir. the executive of the provis ional government and your ministers, of the president's determination of the question which your action and that of the queen devolved upon him and that you are expected to prompt ly relinquish to constitutional au thority. In the name and by the authority of the United States of America, I sub mit to you the question: Are you wil ling to abide by the decision of the president?" President Dole replied: "The gov ernment will take the matter under consideration and answer you as soon as they are ready." Mr. L. A. Thurston leaves here to-'. morrow by the steamer Pekin for Washington. lie will take with him a copy of the government's replies to Mr. Willis, which up to the present hour has been refused to the press. It is learned that the reply of the provisional government was drafted by President Dole and is lengthy. It is an able document and states the case of Hawaii in no pleading form. One of the strong points of the re ply is that the ex-queen's point of amnesty is not touched. The presi dent and the government, being pre pared for resistance, are of the opinion that side issues cannot be raised by either Mr. Cleveland or by the mon archy. President Dole's answer concludes: "The provisional government is re sponsible only to those who consti tuted and are now maintaining it in power. It is amenable to no foreign power on earth. It has always been faithful to its constituents, and by no act or intimation has ever offered tj) submit its rights to the United Stated or any other power. For these reas ons this government must refuse to consider the' proposition of Minister Willis, appeals to their patriotism and moral sense, nor to the terms of am nesty secured from the ex-queen." Pelxoto's Kumored Resignation. Pakis, January 12 The Matin says "The news published in' Paris yester day to the effect that President Peix- oto, of lirazil, had resigned was founded on a dispatch announcing this fact, which was received at the min istry of foreign affairs. The Brazilian minister here has declared that he did not believe the report to be true, and Senhor Gualabara, the Brazilian gov ernment delegate, is quoted as saying there was nothing in the latest dis patches which he had received which would furnish ground for the belief that the report was true." The con servative papers here consider the re port to be true, and express satisfac tion with the president's alleged resig nation. An Ohio Lynching. Cinctnnatti. January 15. Roscoe Parker, the colored boy who four weeks ago last Sunday ni ht, brutally murdered the aged Mr. Rhine and his wife, was hanged by a mob of the best citizens of Winchester and adjacent points in Adams county, Ohio, at 1 o'clock .this morning about four miles from Winchester. The murder was for money, and only $10 were ob tained. Parker, the rdurderer, was only sixteen yearsola, and had worked for the old couple, and had known of Mr, Rhine receiving money for some stock.
