STATE NEWS

The Tavares Herald ridicules the idea
of an extra session on the dead-head
plan, and cries: in the name of the
prophet, figs"
The Mariana Times declares for a new
constitution; the election of county Off
GERS by the people; and sweeping re-
duction of the expenses of the state gov
ernment, and consequent reduction of
taxation.
The Sanford Journal thinks were the
circumstances such as to allow Col E.
K. Foster to accept the democratic nomi-
nation for governor, there is no man in
south Florida whom it would more de-
light to honor.
The Florida Crescent claims that a
deeper interest in the cause Of education
is now felt in fernando county than
ever before. The superintendents an
nual report shows a marked increase in
attendance and the number of schools
taught.
The Ocala Banner is of the opinion
that the present deplorable condition of
the mail service in Florida is due more to
the fact that an inadequate force is en-
ployed, than to neglect or incompetence
of the employees themselves. They
simply can't do all the work imposed up
on them, as quickly as the interests of
the service require,

Founded on n Rock.

The Marianna Times puts itself square
ly right on the extra session issue and
makes the following points:
1T is well enough for the people to be
plainly told that all this talk about an
extra session of the legislature without
cost to the people, and at the sole cost
and charges of the patriotic members, Is
all bosh, buncombe and false pretenses.
Under one pretext or another all the ex-
penses of every kind, with the mileage
and per diem Of the members .will be
paid out of the state treasury. At the
very best, it would be meeting of the
rich members, for the poor ones could
not afford it unless they assisted in some
scheme of the jobbing politicians, and
thus secure advances"

The States that Got Away.

New York Sun.
The Northern States that were favored
in the public building deal were Nevada,
New Jersey, Rhode Island twice, Wis
consin (twice), California, illinois, Yer
mont, Minnesota, New Hampshire, In
diana, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and
Maine, The Southern States were Texas
(twice), South Carolina, Florida, Virginia,
Maryland, Georgia twice, Arkansas, and
Alabama. On the same day the Com
mittee on Public Buildings of the House
of Representatives agreed to report bills
which would add about half a million
dollars to the aggregate of those passed
by the Senate, and include three addi-
tional States, namely, Michigan, Della
ware, and Tennessee.

The surplus in the Treasury continues
to be the objective aim of spendthrift
Legislators. Bills authorizing the erec-
ton of public buildings at different
points in twenty-five States, and invol-
wing an initial expenditure of about four
million dollars in round numbers, passed
the Senate on Monday. There was not a
word of dissent. In no case was there a
record of the vote.
Senators of different States had by pre-
vious agreement arranged the distribu-
ton of spoils. The strictest construc-
tionists and the professed friends of &c
onomy alike waived their accustomed
objections, and Were silent at this bare
faced jobbery.

"Clar the Kitchen
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Whether Wise made a needless slip of
the tongue or not, he doubtless told the
truth when he declared that he conferred
with his coIored political supporters only
in his kitchen. He is a son of the late
Governor Wise, who hung John Brown,
and he has been schooled in the top notch
of contempt for anything like equality of
races; but he wasn't wise, as his name
would indicate, when he blurted out the
truth about it. The old song of ''clar de
kitchen" will be likely to come back to
Wise with hideous discord in his poIiti-
cal dreams.

The Good OLD Ticket.

Savannah News.
The fact that the country knows 50 lit
tie as to the physical and mental condi-
ton Of the man who was elected presi-
dent in 1876, appears to be an inexpica-
bic mystery. It may be regarded as pret-
ty certain that his health is by no means
vigorous, and, if we may take an anec-
dote related by Mr.. Phelps as a pointer
his mind is not as strong as it was a few
years back. Speaking of a handsome
lady's enthusiasm over the scenery around
Greystone, Mr.. Phelps said sne exclaimed
to TiIden, Il have never seen anything
so beautiful in the world and never ex-
pect to seeits equal in loveliness." At this
his face lightened up and he replied in a
loud whisper, Tut, tut! look in your
glass"

The Tavares Herald indulges in imag-
NATIVE ridicule of the ''dead-head' ses-
sion that is not good poetry only because
the burden of hard facts is too heavy to
a flight to the clouds. 1t is compelled to
quote ancient history for parallels for
those patriotic gentlemen who follow the
lead of our Orange Doctor, and our Hon
orable ecommission-mercha senator. and
arrives at this practical conclusion:
For, certainly, if the entire legislature
adopts the suggestion three-fourths of
the members will perish before the ses-
sion is over. This, no doubt, would be a
good thing for the state but it would be
rather severe on the legislators. Talla-
hassee is a poor place to get credit for
board, the average boarding keeper
being keen for his pay; and an announce
ment of a session on the dead-head plan,
would be followed by such a universal
demand for payment in advance, as
would speedily cover the capitol grounds
with camp fires and coffee pots.

Uneasy Sits the Seat that Sits Upon
the Throne.

The throne of England, so splendid
when it is covered with silk velvet and
gold, is, in fact, only an ''old oak chair, -
over six hundred years in use for the
same purpose. Its existence has been
traced back to the days of Edward I.
The wood is very hard and solid. The
back and sides were formerly painted in
various colors, and the seat is made of a
rough looking sand stone, twenty-six
inches in length, seventeen inches in
breadth and nineteen and a half in thick
ness, and in this stone lies the grand pc
cularity Of the chair Numberless Ie-
gends are told in connection with it, the
truth probably being that it was origi-
nalIy taken from Ireland to Scotland,
and served at the coronation of the early
Scottish kings

The Barlow Informant takes the posi-
ton that the purpose for which an ap-
preparation for the New Orleans Exposi-
ton would be made, is not a government
tai purpose, and it is doubtful if such an
act would be constitutional. Therefore
the individual and state pride which
would be gratified by F1orida's disply had
best be gratifed by private enterprise,
and not by public money.

o, what a fall is here my countryman!
Mr.. Wise, the son Of his father, is thus
described in the Campaign:
"How characteristic of the individual
is Mr.. Johnny Wise's stump speech on
the witness stand. A man occupying a
seat in congress, stolen with manufac-
tured votes, himself the very exemplar
of Virginia prejudice, braggart and bull
ly, the hero of thirteen bIoodless duels,
kicked out of the democratic party, and
selling his little stock of brains to Ma
hone, frozen out Of recognition by honest
men, and relegated to the association of
the negroes, whom he deceives. and who
are his superiors in all that makes even
a pretense of manhOOd-JOhnny Wise.
foorsooth, talking about vilification, when
he and his gang never had any other
capital but vilifcation, prejudice and
faIsehood."
The editor Of the Campaign, Mr. Page
McCarty belongs to a real F. F. V. and
is a ripe scholar Mr. Wise viii not
fight; possible because Mr.. Page has al
ready killed his man.

The South and the Union League.


Savannah Times.
The republican party is bent upon hoist
ing the bloody shirt again. Aside from
the bIunders of its opponents, the sec
tional issue is the main stock in trade of
radicalism. 1t is humiliating to believe
that any considerable portion of the
American people can be humbugged by
such patent appeals to sectional preju-
dices, but until such organizations as the
Union League, the Grand Army of the
Republic, and bodies formed mainly to
keep alive the resentments and passions
of the war period are disbanded, the sec
tiOnal issue will be available.
1t only remains for the South to live
down the ISLANDERS Of demagogues and
subsidized organs as successfully in the
future as she has in the past. The sec
tional issue, however it may affect ig-
nOrant voters at the north, has lost its
powerful potency against this section.
The south's future cannot be marred by
agitators of the union league order.
Decided Opinion Clearly Expressed.
Florida Herald.
Mr.. W. n. Conoley, probably appreci-
ates now, as he never did before, his mis-
take in supposing that the Times-Union
always desired to give a true statement
of facts in any case reported through its
columns" He has probably learned to
his sorrow, that in its frenzied dread Of
firearms, a question like this. Conoley's
case, according to the evidence given is
not a hopeful one, and if the sworn testi-
mony of witnesses supports the report
we have heard, it will go hard with him;
but in his incarceration and helplessness,
the miserable and unseemly Ievity with
which the Times Union treats the COM
munication of this man on trial for his
life, will merit the contempt of all just
men everywhere. When Mr. Conoley
stated that he was now securely in the
hands of the law" he apparently laid
himself open, in that fact, to the vitupera-
ton and sneers of this fearless news
