The tariff commission bill, which pass
ed the Senate last Tuesday by decided
majority, evidently intends to give the
protectiOnists as much time as
possible to prepare for their doom.
1t provides for a commission of
nine members to be appointed
bv the President and confirmed by the
Senate, who are to receive as compensa-
ton for their services $40 per day when
actually employed, and travelling and
other necessary expenses. They are to
investigate all the various questions re-
Isting to the agricultural, commercial,
mercantile, manufacturing, mining and
industrial interests of the United States,
so far as the same may be necessary to
the establishment of a judicious tariff,
or revision of the existing tariff and the
existing system Of internal revenue laws
upon a scale of justice to all interests.
and are 70 report to Congress from time
TO time, ana to make final report not
later than the first Monday in January,

We desire to call.special attention to
a communication elsewhere published
this morning on the above subisct. Our
correspondent complains bitterly, and
apparently with good reason, Of the in
ADEQUATE facilities offered vegetable
growers in our sister State for getting
their produce to market with necessary
dispatch. As he well says. vegetables
viii not keep as will -four and bacon,
and when delayed on the way. they
arrive in market either greatly damaged
orwhoIly unfit for use. In either case
the truck grower Is subjected to loss,
and so serious has the matter become
that unless different arrangements can
be made, raising early vegetables for the
Northern market must be entirely
abandoned in the section of Florida
about Lake City, from which point our
correspondents letter is written.
The officers and agents of our Ocean
Steamship line, the Florida Central and
Of the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railways are appealed to to do all in their
mower to remedy this evil, and we trust
the appeal viii be needed. Certainly it
vorId seem to be to the interest Of their
lines to do so, for with vegetable ship
ments North cut of from this section
Of country, their business must, neces-
sariy be more or less affected.

State Senator R B. Wilcox, OF Viz
5inia lives in the Petersburg district,
and it is said that he is an aspirant for
Congress. This is considered the true
reason why he so recently announced a
change in his political sentiments and
declared that he heneetoFth intended to
act with the national Republicans. But
it seems that even his abandonment OF
his former Democratic principles will
not save him. His district is largely
Republican and has always been, and
the original members Of that party are

Again that Bridge.

ii. \. Silver, of this city. made a
narrow escape Tuesday night Oh his
run as mail agent on the Wabash Ry.
Hearing he had been hurt and brought
home dangerously injured, We calledon
him at his residence Yesterday. and
found him in bed, badly and painfully
bruised up but no bones broken.
Trains do not Il over the st. Charles
bridge but the mail car is given Il
start and goes over without an engine.
Last Tuesday evening the mail car
was started over the bridge and gained
such an impetus, which took it flying
down the grade on the other side. that
it ran into an engine. When it struck
the engine Silver was thrown across
his car and mixed up with boxes. Ia
bles and mail sacks, and he thought
the bridge had broken again and the
amount of praying he done would
startlc Il Wednesday night prayer
meeting. The car was smashed up
and several parties in the train into
which the car ran were more or less
injured. Mr.. Silver hopes to he out
in a week or so. and we trust will
suffer no permanent inconvenience.
1t was gross carelessness on the part
of some one, as Il brakeman should
have been on the car to have stopped
it on the other side.

MISTAKE.
n Act Not On The Show Bills.

Heywood's Grand Mastodon Show
favored Mexico last Monday night
with an entertainment. During the
performance, which was fair, there
appeared to be some trouble near the
door, and just before the show closed,
the wife of the proprietor rushed on
to the stage and, in tragic tones,
asked the audience to keep their seats
till she came back. She did not
state where she was going, how long
she would be gone, or what she would
bring back with her. The audience
was startled, and, of course, some
curiosity was excited, but at the close
of the entertainment the audience
went home. On investigation, we
find the trouble was about the license.
1t appears that Haywood paid all his
bills and left the money for the license
with a. G.. Armstrong, assistant man
ager of the opera house, and, not feel
ing well, went to his car at the depot
to 90 to bed. In the meantime the
show was in full blast, and no license
procured. City Marshal and Collec-
tor Coons being responsible for the
license, had Recorder Buckley issue a
warrant for the arrest of Haywood
for showing without taking out city
license. He then went to the II,
arrested Haywood and brought him
to the police court, where he was
fined double the amount Of the IL
cense and costs. S14.00, according to
the ordinance. All this trouble should
and could have been avoided. Trouble
of this kind does our town. and es-
pecially Il opera house, no good.
Haywood should have procured a Ii
cense before he showed. We know
that he did not Intentionally violate
the law, nor did he mean to beat the
city out of a cent. for he had left the
money with Armstrong. If Arm
strong was instructed to procure a
license, he should have done so.
Haywood showed without license, and
was fined for so doing, which was ex-
actly right. We have no interest in
the matter at all, and trust that in the
future a license will be procured by
the manager, either directly or through
the proprietors of the opera house.
The law is plain. You must procure
a license, and not expect the city mar
shall to run after shows for their IL
cense. We learn that Ileywood's
wife. when she asked the audience to
remain, intended to refund tleiI
money and give them a free show.
The audience, we presume, are sorry
they did not remain and give her {;
chance so to do.
