FLORIDA POLITICS.

Afflicted with the GubernatOrial Fever.
TALLAHASSEE, May 27.-After travel
ing extensively over the State, landed
here, and, Of course, expected to find the
political pot boiling. Nothing Of the kind,
however. Except for the work done,
greatly in a quiet way, by Drew's bench
men to secure his nomination, you hear
little Of politics. The people are busy,
the State prosperous and all things move
smoothly. Drew's runners are out and
endeavor, through interviews and other
publications, to show that their par
ticular man must be nominated or the
State will react from the great "boom''
the present administration has given her.
Silly idea. The great obstacle to
Florida's progress was taken away when
her internal improvement fund was re-
lieved three years ago. From that date
the future historian will mark the great
impulse given to her prosperity, and
nothing but absolute folly in her future
rulers can stop her career on to a grand
and glorious future.
l have met large numbers of influential
citizens in all parts of the State who VIII
not support Drew. Should | relate por-
tions Of his record as given to me in Jack

would seem sheer recklessness to place
his name before the people. Not only has
he his runners and interviewers out, but
he is said to be on the warpath himself.

II is probable that there was no great

George Bliss, late leading government
attorney i'm the star route cases, has
caused the question TO be raised whether
he is as shrewd rs he has been thought to

attorneys in the star route cases, in his
testimony before the Springer committee,
SAID that I'm the beginning OF the star route
prosecutions Bliss proposed TO let Dorsey

in a very bad light. and some of the news
papers were prompt % hold him up to
The scorn aud contempt of honest men.
To rebut the damning testimony Of
Rer. Bliss wrote 20 Mr.. Merrick, another
of the government counsel in the star
route cases. and asked him to deny ker's
charge. Merrick replied in very pleas

"a fsra that Dorsey should be allowed to

lished to yiudicate himself 1t will be
seen thar Merrick does not deny that
Bliss proposed 60 let Dorsey escape, but
saws there was no proposition Ia form.
The best thing Bliss could have done was
to have burned Merrick's letter, because

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Truth was not quite right in its story about
Bismarck complaining Of being checked for
whistling on the Sabbath in Scotland. What
he said was: "The English and American
mode Of sunday observance is terrible form
OF tyranny. The first time | set foot on Eng
lis soil was at Hull, and began whistling In
the streets, when an English fellow traveller
said, oh. pray DON'T why. said i. is II
prohibtedN No. was the reply. It's not
against the law, but don't you know it's the
Sabbathr' l was 40 angry that left the town
at once and took the next steamer for Edin-
burgh." Here the Chancellor seems to have
whistled along Princes street with impunity.
A BRIDGEPORT Conn., firm does an extern
sive business IN shipping from that section to
san Francisco seed oysters, for replanting in
the waters OF the Pacific coast. Most Of these
oysters are taken from the natural bed off
Stratford. One Of the firm has just returned
from his last trip with oysters to San Fran
cisco. having successfully supervised the
transportation OF twelve car loads Of young
oysters across the continent He was twelve
days on the journey. and kept one day ahead
of the oyster train the entire time. in order to
make the arrangements for renewing the sup
ply Of ice necessary to keep the oysters alive
and IN good condition. In san Francisco and
along the coast Of California oysters in the
shell are luxury.
LADY in Danvers, Mass. writes ia a Bos-
ton paper that she can show a lineage cover
ing an unusually long stretch of years with q
few generations, and all living in the same
place. The father Of her great grandfather
was born IN 1869 in a house already built by
his father, portion of which still stands firm
and sound, but built around and added to at
several times since. From that child, born
1863. the place came to his son, born ZOE; from
him to son born 1912; from him TO son born
l7T4: from him to the present owner, born
1914. All Of these have successfully had the
place as their home, starting about as far
back as 1865, making it now near 20 years.
The land came into possession OF the family
1853, or 225 years ago.
AT a dinner given by the late judah Z. Ben

ton OF his with the ejaculation 'MonstrousW
on which Mr.. Benjamin tied up his papers,
bowed. and retired. The noble lord suDse-
quently sent a public coneiliatOry message,
and made every possible reparation. Mr..
Evarts capped this story with one from this
side Of the water. A lawyer who had often
been interrupted in a difficult case stopped,
and. facing the bench, said: II have told your
