LJ. LTD Vol. I. No. 157 OCALA, FLORIDA, DECEMBER 12, 1895. Price Five Cents PUBLISHED EVERY DA V IN THE WEEK EXCEPTING SUNDAY V 4 THE FOARD OF TRADE. The Ocala Board cf Trade held an interesting and highly profit able meeting last night. Hon. F. A. Teague presided with dignity and precision, and Mr. Williams, the prince of secretaries, was at his post and made full record of the proceedings. Mr. Burchell stated that certain Chicago newspapers had published articles damaging to Florida, and asked the board to indorse his ref utation of said articles, which was promptly done. The Nicaragua canal enterprise was taken up and discussed by Messrs. Burke, Harrison, Bittin ger, Livingston, Campbell and others. Delegates were appointed to the Canal Convention to be held in Jacksonville on the 18th inst. from the Board of Trade, the city of Ocala and Marion county. .A resolution was passed urging our representatives in Washington to use their utmost exertions to secure the earliest possible con struction and operation of the Nicaragua canal. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Bittinger, Harrison and Burke, was appoint ed to report to a subsequent meet ing of the board on a communica tion from D. E. Lukenbill of Fer nandina, pertaining to continued government appropriations for the Fernandina harbor. C. H. Campbell made a neat little speech in regard to the pro nosed banauet to be given to Mr. H. B. Plant at the Ocala House, and moved that a committee of eight, including the chairman and secretary, be ap pointed to make all preliminary ar rangements, which was heartily concurred in by every one present. The Board of Trade includes over fifty of Qcala's most enter prising citizens, who are wide awake to the material growth and development of our city. There is only one way to build a city and that is for all to pull together. In union there is strength. United we stand, divided we fall. Let every business man now in Ocala join the Board of Trade at once and it will add anew impetus to all branches of business. A MISTAKE. It seems that the report sent by wire, that over two hundred half starved negroes were brought to Tampa on the steamer Lawrence from Lee county, where they had been carried to pick oranges and then driven off by armed men. is utterly without foundation and was sent to the Ltate press by some malicious party. This article is a slander qn the state and should be corrected. RATES TO KEY WEST. The fare to Key West on ac count of the state firemen's tourna ment is one and one fourth fare for the round trip on all railroads in the state, and from Port Tampa to Key West $15 for the round trip j by steamer, which includes meals j and beith.

The interment tcok It is wrong to sell liquor, and the j place in the old ceremony, supreme courts have so decided. The only way any one can evade the law in selling liquor is to get a majority of legal voters in his dis trict to petition the authorities to grant him the privilege. And we do earnestly maintain that those who have this privilege should be forced to obey the law. A GOOD MAN GONL The sad news was received here this afternoon that Capt. H. L. Hart of Palatka,the well known proprietor of the OcklawahaSteam ship Line, was killed in Atlanta, Ga., yesterday by an electric street 1 taking the remains of his brother car. Capt. Hart was perhaps the j in law, who died in this city Satur- best known man in Florida, and his untimely death will prove a great loss to our state. GENERAL ORDER.

Temperance Column. By the Ocala Temperance Reform Club. Rev. J. P. Hllburn and Isaac Stevens, Editors

The Club meets every Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in Temperance Halt lhe Public are invited. "MIND YdUR BUSINESS. The president of the Liquor Dealers' League of Pennsylvania is reported to have said in his in augural address: "I say to the tem perance people, attend to your business and let us attend to ours," This is as though the assassin should say to his victim: 'Keep right on at your work and do not mind me; I will attend to my own business." The law makes it the business of every man to protect his chil dren. If this is every man's duty in reference to assaults or menaces or nuisances that affect only the physical well-being, how much more in the case of evil that de stroys, if left -alone, not only the body, but the soul? Would to God that every temperance man would attend strictly to his busi ness! United Presbyterian. If the temperance people of Ocala will continue to "mind their business" faithfully it will not be long until the whisky business will be at nn end in our city. We don't want to hurt men who are in the liquor bushes?, but we would save them and others by closing a business that is ruining the men who sell and those who buy.

JTflE EASTERN QUESTION. ""What is the Eastern Ouestion?" is the inquiry to be heard on all sides. Briefly stated, it is the pro tection of Christians in Turkey. This protection- is, presumably, afforded by the Christian govern ments of Europe. Really, how ever, the problem is a difficult one. For the Turk is a sly fellow as well as a fanatic. The treaty by which the Christian powers of Eu rope undertook the protection of the Christians residing in the sul- tan's empire, was made in Paris in i856. Things went on pretty well until i860, when at least 14,000! Christians were massacred. This was in the neighborhood of Damas cus. The sultan paid dearly for that wholesale butchery, and -should have been driven out of Europe, and Russia would have done so had not England inter fered. The massacre of Chris tians in Bulgaria in 1876 was the occasion of more diplomacy. And the late massacres in Armenia, in which many thousands of Chris tians have perished, should cause the long-suffering patience of Christendom to find vent in the demand that the Turk should not tmly be deprived of power in Eu rope, but also in the historically sacred precincts of Palestine. The Turk in Europe is an anomaly. He is far out of place with his cruel ties and his harems. His control of the birthland of Christ is some thing peculiarly stinging to Chris tian self-respect. The clearance -of the Turkish control in Europe and from Palestine would not be an act of difficulty nor of injustice. We have not to go back into his tory many centuries to find that both were wrested from Christians at the point of trie sword. Since then the rule of the Turkish mas ter has been hard, cruel, bitter and unbearable. Therefore, to free these lands from his heel would be but to release them from a tyr anny which is anomalous to our age. In a recent letter to Lord Salis bury, representing the English government, the sultan implores the powers of Europe to be patient with him. He says he is doing all in his power to control his subjects. It is well understood that the sui- fnn nnrl hie nffiinlc nrp wnnlr mpn UlllWiMW t.WUfeU. M.i.AM.M.f having neither the confidence nor fear of his subjects. But it is also quite as well known that he is quite a stranger to the truth. The Psalmist's saying, that all men are liars, applies especially to the man who occupies the throne of Tur key. His word is worth nothing. Hitherto he has profited most by taking advantage of points of dis sension among the powers. That is his present policy, no doubt, as his letter to Lord Salisbury is a bid for English sympathy, But it does not prove effectual. Lord Salisbury said lately, at a pubuc dinner in London, that the Chris tians of Armenia should be pro tected, but as to the precise course to be followed depended upon the unanimity of the powers. What is the United States going to do? As men say, in slang phrase, we are not "in it." Eu rope would no doubt resent our in terference. And yet as high au thority as the Times of New York says that in this situation, to a de gree never before approached, the public sentiment of the United States will receive attention. Not because our government is ex pected to act or can act, with any material force, but precisely be- cause the United States is wholly without any possible political in terest in the matter, and because the sentiment of our people will be accepted as the sentiment of out raged humanity. There is but one solution of this problem from an international standpoint, and that is the dis memberment of the Turkish em pire. INDIFFERENTISM IN POLITICS. Those who expect an ideal gov ernment are destined to disap pointment. Their lives are too short for such a thing. And even if life were extended to many times its usual length the object would still be unattained. This is frequently the specious plea of the indifferent. They think they have given you a clincher when they tell us not to aim at perfection in government. But, even a child can see the falsity of such a plea. To aim at good government and decent officials does not mean that we expect perfection. Not to have a decent aim is to permit everything to go to the dogs. Such indifferentism applied to pri vate business would send both the business and the controller of it to the ditch. If a man does not hus tle in these times of crowded popu lation and competition in trade, he will soon find himself under the auctioneer's hammer. In like manner indifferentism about our public Officials would directly prove the ruin of every public interest and indirectly of every private business. It is not simply parties which are involved in the decision of public questions, but the mer chants, farmers, artisans, crafts men, tradesmen, preachers, law yers, doctors, who bear the good or evil of such decisions. Indiffer entism in politics means both pri vate and public hard times. Robert F. Hyman of Atlanta, agent for Fr?.nk Block, the confec tioner, is in town. R.
