The idea of this commission is to reform
the civil service by getting bad material
out and good material in. That was the
idea as to the physical system when Perry

meant reform by getting bad material out
of the system and good material in. If
you have sudden attack of cramp, or
any disease incident to summer, and
promptly send a dose of the Pain Killer to
meet it, the former will fly like a rabbit
before a ferret. Your body will be re-
formed in a twinkling, and you can 90 on

seems that the Board of Trustees of the
Internal Improvement Fund having de-
cided that they could not execute con-
veyances to the Pensacola and Atlantic
Railroad Company for the amount of
land to which that company is entitled
under its charter and land grant, until
the selections of the Florida Southern had
been made and conveyed, theirst named
company has made formal demand of the
board for such conveyances, claiming to
be entitled thereto because of the entire
completion of its road. The demand was
refused by the board on the ground that
the claims of the Florida Southern
railway to selections of lands
under its land grant stood first in order
of privilege; and that the claim of the
Pensacola and Atlantic must be held sub
iect to that of the Florida Southern, since
the charter Of the latter is the oldest; and
its land grant provides for a period of
seven years for the completion of its road.
The suppositiOn exists among the know
ing ones that the matter will now come
before the courts at an early day, for adj
justment and decision OF the question as
to which of the two roads has the prior
claim. The decision will also, when ar
rived at. doubtless effect the grants of
other roads claiming land grants, and
