have never seen the light, and the
contradictions in the digest should
be cleared away.
Therefore we must begin at the
bottom and call a Constitutional
convention, which is the one thing
most sorely needed in Florida to-
day. We must have in each county
court intermediate between the
Justice and the Circuit Judge, so
that prisoners charged with simple
misdemeanors shall not be cOmpelI-
ed to lie six months III jail without
trial. This too will lessen expenses
in the higher court. Also we should
have a clearer definition of the law
and practice to be observed in the
| Probate courts. Our statutes for
the punishment of maladmlnistratlon
in office, and the machinery for their
enforcement should be simplified.
The laws in relation to conveyanceS
of real estate might be so amended
as to make transfers much less liable
to radical defect, much less eXpen-
sive and less burdensome to all par
ties concerned. The probate of wills
might be allowed, as in some States,
before the death of the testatOr, af-
ter due notice of his intention, and
much litigation as to bias or the con-
dition of his mind, avoided. A bill
was introduced by the Senator from
Putnam, dispensing with the third
witness where real estate was left
by the will, but it was killed in the
judiciary committee. Such will is
the only instrument requiring three
witnesses, and the intentions of the
deceased are often defeated by ig-
norance of this technicality which
has no basis on practical utility.
The fence laws as at present cOnsti-
tuted are utilities. We do not be-
lieve any farm or grove in Florida
is protected by a lawful fence. 1t is
expensive to build one; it is impos,
sible to keep one. The stock own
ers must be protected, but heretofore
Legislation has been partial to them:
it is time the fruit-growers and far
mers should be heard. The annual
repairs Of fences in the orange coun.
ties cost more than the total value
of the whole stock within their limits
1t is useless to repeat our argu
ments against the longer continuance
of the abOmination of 1868. We
might give more instances of defec
tive, foolish Or contradictory statu
ties, but the people will remember
that we are not represented at New
Orleans to-day because there is NJ
statute to authorize us to do what
every other State in the Union con
siders necessity of its being.
LET US BEGIN THE GOOD WORK BY
CALLING A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN
TION.

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe


New YORK, March IAN improvement
took place in stocks this morning, which was
somewhat of q surprise even to many who
were on the long side New York Central
started upward Immediately after the open
ing and was followed by Delaware & Laca-
wana which rose from 1867 to 1928; the
grangers responded, and by midday the mar
ket was decidedly firm. Louisville & Nash
vile was well bought at about As, and is
spoken of as likely to do better. There was
a steep advance in Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati & Indianapolis to 671l. Pullman
seemed dull at 1O9 New York Central
closed to-day at 4, Union Pacific fat. The
export of gold amounted to S150,000. The
feature of the last hour was a rise in New
York Central to 1911 4-the first rates were
at 11S.
The following earnings for the first week
in March are just received: Northwestern
decreased $4,000; Canadian Pacific in
creased $4,000; Alton $4,000, and Northern
Pacific increased S46, 900. Stocks were all
strong at the finish with indications of still
further improvement.
Henry Clews & Co., wired Schwartz &
Dupree: The market has had forced
strength to-day, led by New York Central
which was bid up to 1917, an advance of
AZ per cent. since yesterday. The large
number of sellers of sixties now watering are
said to be what manipulators in this stock
are cunning for and the advance is based
thereon. A sympathetic effect was naturally
produced on the balance of the list, which
held strong front in consequence.
''Much hope is INDUCED in at the prospect
of favorable result to come from the meet
ing tomorrow of various representatives of
western roads, who convene for the purpose
of endeavoring to settle the long-existing
difficulties. Many moderate lines were bought
to-day by parties who anticipate favorable &C
ton as an outcome of this gathering. The
business of the day was confined largely to
the professionals who apparently bought for
a speculative quick turn. The tone at the
close was certainly of a more encouraging
character than any previous exhibit for past
days. A good deal of manipulation OF the
market to-day suggested that Gould in his
cruise had reached some point of the com
pass, where he could communicate freely
with New York by cable, the use Of which he
is supposed to monopolize between the hours
of 10 and o'clock.

POSTOFFICE APPLICATIONS.
A Lively Time in the HOuse---0pposed
To Cutting down Postmasters'
Salaries.
Special Telegram to the Globe

WASHINGTON, March 12-Mr. Davis of
Illinois lead the Republicans to-day in a
gallant fight against the reduction of postal
appropriations proposed by the Democrats in
the bill ofwhich Mr.. Townshend has charge.
He made telling speech this morning carry
ing his amendment to leave the salaries of the
postmasters of the nine large cities as they
now are. The committee on appropria-
tons had proposed to reduce them to 81 900
each and Davis amendment was stubbornly re-
sisted by Mr.. Holman and Mr., Townshend.
Davis was fighting for Chicgo and won by a large
majority vote. Townshend says he will demand
a reconsideration vote when the bill comes up in
the committee of the whole. Mr. Holman Of
fered to except the New York office from the re
duction provided by the bill, but the Republicans
failed to take the bait. Mr.. Hoar said he could
not account for Holman's partially to New
York, unless it was because it is the home of the
New York Sun, which has recently published
Mr.. Holman's picture.
Reed, of Maine, remarked that under these
circumstances something ought certainly be
done for New York. The nine postofices tina
will be benefited by Mr.. Davis amendment is
% per cent. of the postal business of the United
States and only receive about per cent of the
aggregate salaries paid the postmasters. Instead
of $4,000 each the postmasters at New York will
get, if this amendment finally prevails, 81, 900,
the postmasters at Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
st. Louis and Cincinnati, Sc, 600 each, and at San
Francisco, Baltimore and Washington s., 900
each.
Upon the item relating to the salaries of other
postmasters the two parties got into tangle that
resulted in a loss of an hour and half over the
question of how much time should be allowed for
debate on it. Mr.. Horn, representing the Repub-
icans, asked for forty minutes to debate the sec
ton and amendments. Mr.. Townshend was I'M
willing to give them more tnan fifteen minutes.
The vote on limiting the time showed
that quorum had not voted, many of the Ret
publicans refusing to vote. Then there was a
call of the house and several roll calls and finally
the Democrats got a quorum and had things
their own way. The Democrats are getting into
better fighting trim for the battles that are to
come. An effort viii be made tomorrow to in
crease the appropriation for the free delivery
service.

The Sharon Divorce Suit.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.-In the Sharon di-
vorce to-day, Frank Rodney, cousin Of the plain
tiff, testified that the evening before Sharon's
arrest in September last, he accompanied Miss
Hill to the Palace hotel, heard her say to Sharon,
''you know, senator, 1 am your lawful welded
wife, although you have told some of the best
people in the city I am only your mistress"
That the senator denied the accusation. The wit
ness swore the marriage contract was the same
document he had seen in December, 1881. Miss
Hill, the plaintiff testified in her own behalf. She
first conversed with Sharon in the spring of 1880.
He said he heard l was ''stock sharp and that
if 1 would come to his Office he would
give me some points gave him $500 to in
vest. He always talked love to me when visit
ed his office. He said he wanted me to love him,
and if would let him love me he would give me
$1,000 month and house. l told him he mis-
took the woman. / told him millions could not
buy me. He said he was only teasing me, that
he loved me better than any one since his wife
died. He proposed q secret marriage, but 1 re-
scented the proposition. He told me about the
woman with baby in Philadelphia, and said he
didn't think the baby was his, but he sent money
to the mother to stop her making trouble.

CHICAGO, March 12-The grain and provi
sion markets were fairly active in the way Of
speculative trading for future delivery, and
while the feeling was nervous stronger un-
dercurrent was developed. Prices Of all arti-
Giles aver; ged higher, and on the whole there
was more confidence shown on the part Of
bidders than during either of the preceding
days of tlF present week. There was, how
ever, persistent pounding of prices by the
"big FOUR throughout the entire
session and the fact that closing fig
ures for all leading articles were at nearly
or quite top prices indicate that there was
more than ordinary confidence felt among
the general trade. The resistance which
that grain showed to the efforts to break

there were no united efforts on the part of
the bulls to sustain prices while the bears
were lead by their most determined chiefs,
