BOSSES.

Our Georgia exchanges are in
doubt as to whether or not that
state has a boss, and the discussion
wakes warm. On all sides the re-
volt of the people against the ma
chine rulers is increasing in strength
and acquiring definite shape The
giants Of old days are disappearing
from the land, for the rewards of
political success are becoming too
small to tempt the brains Of the age
or draw into public life the best
product Of our civilization.
The south won her old supremacy
in congress by sending to. its halls
young men Of promise, and keeping
them there, till custom and training
had equipped them so perfectly that
even man of ordinary abilities pos
sessed many qualities essential to
leadership. When these opportuni-
ties more given to natures specially
gifted, some, on a stage grander
than ever upheld a throne, dictated
opinion and policy to one of the
haughtiest and most passionate peo-
pie the world ever saw.

THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers OF twenty years

The telegraph and better local newspapers

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

Winding through fertile hill and
dale, skirting CLASSY lakes and sha-
dy pasture lands, through orange
grove and scented pine, the Florida
Southern brings It's tribute to the
fair city Of Palatka, and bears
wealth and the comforts of our
country to lonely farmhouse and
growing hamlet. Now the Jack
sonviIle, Tampa and Key West
opens a new field to tourist and i'm
migrant, and the broad lands be
tween us and our sister city thrill
with new hope Of usefulness, and
the thunder of the engine imparts
new life to enterprise, new hope to
the farmer, new usefulness to the
soil.
And steadily moving to compile
tiou, the Palatka and Indian River
railroad claims a share Of our atten-
ton. Never once has the enter
prise faltered; never once has the
confidence of the managers and pro-
/ iectors abated. When the restless
tide of black laborers ebbed off to
distant field of labor, an agent
was sent to other states; when nee
essary, Italians were brought direct
from New York, and It's shining,
white track, embIamatic of pure
aims and the level heads of its Off
GERS, now extends from the neigh
. borhood Of Palatka far through the
/ groves and rolling hills of Volusia.
With it's completion Palatka will be
the central point from which the
rich products Of the gulf and the
delicate fruits of Indian River will
seek transportation to northern con
sumers. At her Wharyes will stand
our splendid river steamers, crowded
with passengers and lighter freights;
on one side, from the treasure-house
of heavy schooners, goods in bulk
are lifted for country store and
fireside, and on the othor swift ex-
press trains are being loaded with
fragrant pineapple, juicy oranges
and guavas, the luscious oyster and
the abundant game of Indian River
and the more solid products Of the
| Lake region. Then will the visitor
cease to be called Doubling Thomas
and rail no more at the price of rea
estate, for the dreams Of many year:
will be realized and confident hopes
will be solid facts. Then will flow
ing river and solid track join in of
ferings at the same throne, and il
return find themselves freighteC
} with the blessings of their grateful
queen.
The day is coming, surely at hand
but it behooves us all to hasten it,
dawning and make our sovereign
worthy in every respect of tht
throne to which she is born.

CRIME AND THE PRESS

CRIME AND THE PRESS"
The following paragraph, peril
nent to the discussion of an impor-
tant subject, is from the New York
Evening Post (rep.,) the same paper
which 50 Justly complimented the
editorial of the Times-Union on the
same subject:
I'VE all know how the murderer is
protected against the gallows in thisst
by points of practice. In other states it
is just as bad. In Ohio there are thirty
murderers, taken red-handed, lying in
Jail, who have thus far foiled the efforts
of the district attorney to carry them
through the maze of technicalities DELHI
erately created by the Legislature, and no
murderer has been executed in the state
since 1869. The victims of the knife and
the pistol are so humorous every week as
to cover the whole land with blood guilt
mess.
That public opinion must be more
thoroughly educated before strict
justice can be done all admit; the
masses fail to appreciate that under
their condemnation the criminal sui
fers a punishment more bitter than
the verdict of any jury can infict-
that each man and woman is part of
a court competent to try any cause,
and from a sentence thus pronounced
there is no appeal, for the court it
self inhicts the penalty.
The Office of the press is to en-
Tighten this court, and it only dero-
gates from its high dignity when
sympathy or prejudice poisons the
argument presented before this, the
highest Of earthly tribunals
We agree with the Times-Union
exactly in the position tak7n as to
the duty of a conscientious press
when lawlesSness is public or muir
der upheld by debased public SEN
timent, but when the editor prefers
the legal security Of northern Grim
inals to the exemption from punish
ment gained by popular sympathy,
we have no hesitation in making an
issue broad and deep between us.
Crime is not local in its nature, and
no man with a conscience can ar
raign a community for the acts or
misfortune of one. Sympathy with
evil-doers is not given to the crime,
bat Is peryerSion of that kindly
element i'll our moral nature prompt
ing all charity, which is next to
goodness. The people should I'M
derstand that punishment may save
a soul by lettering ignorance from
following the same road, and leave
mercy only to that God who alone
can estimate the moral consequences
of our deeds Neither jury nor
court has to do with quality too
strained for the authorities to Crap
pie with, and when they understand
that this prerogatiye is outside their
jurisdiction great step will be
gained
But if murderers must go mhang-
ed, we prefer they should escape by
public sentiment rather2 than by le-
gal trickery-the same end is gained
BY means less base and it shows less
rottenness in the framework of So
ciety.
