The refusal of the house to take up any
of the election cases and its anxiety to
work up an adjournment schedule is
commented upon as indicative of very
earnest work for the next week There
is an evident desire on the part of the
democratic majority of the house to
throw the responsibility of a continued
session upon the republican senate and
for this purpose the house will get the
appropriation bills out of the way by the
30th There are two bills, the sundry
civil and Notifications, to bereported vet
They will be probably be brought in this
week. The latter is very short bill and
will be disposed of in a day The former
will probably consume more time. While
the house may squeeze everything into
the brief time set, the senate will require
longer time. This additional period is
variously placed at July 3, 10. and Au-
gust 1. The general run of senatorial
opinion seems to be unfavorable to adj
jOurnment before the middle Of July.

Every candidate who allows his name
to be presented to a convention enters
into tacit pledge to observe which he is
bound by his honor to support with his
vote and influence the nominee of that
convention. Every delegate is equally
bound by a similar pledge, and the can
didate or the delegate who violates this
pledge, without the existence of which a
convention is a farce and a mockery. is
a political traitor and should be pro
scribed forever, unless he forsakes his
evil ways and recants his error.

democrats of the ID congressional district
of some suitable person to carry the stan
dard of democracy successfully through
the approaching campaign of 1884, is but
a few weeks in the future; and it is but
natural and customary for certain prom
inent names to be placed before the pub
lie, from which the party may finally
make choice.
In looking over the political roster of
this district, to the writer's mind there
looms up one grand central figure above
all the rest-Col. John NJ. Martin of Ma
riOn county. l do not wish to disparage
or underrate the claims of other gentle
men, Mr.. Editor. but surely there is no
member of the democratic party who de-
serves more honor, and none more capa-
BILE of filling the high and distinguished
position of congressman than Col. Mar

the nth of May, you call the attention of
the st. Augustine Weekly to its omission
of this gentIeman's name from the list of
probable candidates.

citizen, he has illustrated the highest ele-

aside the sword for the plOughshare. re-
turned to his home, where, with mod
esty and almost diffidence he has labOred
sedulOusly to aid in building up the ma
terial resources of his section, which in
the last five years has made the most
wonderful development of any other por-
ton of the State. Col. Martin has a
large and ripe experience in public affairs,
and there is no man in the State more
thoroughly interested in the practical af-
fairs of life than he.
His political and social integrity are
alike unquestioned and there is no man
in this district whose public and private
record is more irreproachable than his,
and in his social and business walk he
enjoys the confidence and esteem of not
only the members of his own party, but
whom he is necessarily thrown in contact.
Col. Martin possesses in an eminent de-
gree the qualities and elements of char
acter so necessary in high political trust
Blessed with a finished education and
ample means in starting life, and beinga
member of a prominent and influential
family, gifted by nature with a splendid
personel, with a big brain and bigger
heart, .amiable and gentle as a child, firm
and unfiinching as a rock-these We're

Natural LauShin

Natural Laughing Gas in a Tunnel,
The great Sierra tunnel at Tioga has
developed the presence in the indurated
mud-stOne, sihcious limestone, and are
naceous shades of TiOga hill, of prOtoxide
of nitrogen, the eXhiIarating gas known
as laughing gas" with traces also of
the nitrates commonly associated with
several of the metals. As is well known.
the inhalation of protoxide of nitrogen
produces exhilaration to intOxication, an
irresistible impulse to muscular eXertion,
insensibility to pain, and develops the
characteristic prOpensities of an individ-
ual to a striking degree. Air is forced
into the great Sierra tunnel through
wooden boxes, and distance leakage and
friction baing great, the supply was in
adequate, and hence the accumulation of
this nitrous gas at the header, the inha-
lation of which had the characteristic eff
feet upon those working there, as soon as
one of them got an overdose. "Bill'
Harrington, a muscular miner, who had
been talking of going below to meet Sui
livan on the boards, was brought out
fighting, and it took four men to hold
him until he returned to consciousness in
the open air. Redtingshafer, the snow
shoe mail carrier, went in and got dose
and when brought out seized a couple of
bars of iron, lashed them to his feet with
wire, leaped over the drump and went
sailing down the mountains over the
snow.

Charles Dougherty for Congress.

CnafIeS DOHSDcIsg
Lake City Reporter
1t is with sincere pleasure we bring to
the attention of our readers the name Of
Charles Dougherty, of Volusia county,
as a candidate for nomination at the Pa
latka convention. on the 1st prox. If it
is true that not only Columbia county,
but every county along the line of rail
road, bending ard groaning meath the
weight of the railroad bonded indebted
ness. owes a debt of gratitude to any one,
that debt Of grat tude should be paid 10
Charles DOugheryy. We shall not occu-
py space in dwelling upon the enOrrniJy
of the bonded burden, our citizens too
we'll appreciate it; have too long stag
gered beneath its blighting weight, for us
to comment upon. 1t was reasonable 10
expect the representatives from the bon
ded counties, to wit: Duval, Baker, Brad
ford, Columbia, Suwannee, Madison,
jefferson, Leon, and Gadsden, should
put their shoulders to the wheel to ac-
complish the relief. but for disinterest-
ed party, representing county not af-
fected by this incubus, should, without
stopping to consider whether the step
would or would not initiate against his
aspirations in his own county, threw
himself actively into the fight for the re-
lief of the oppressed, is a picture not fire.
quently beheld in modern politics and in
this day of extreme selfshness. The
success of the relief bill is due as much
to the manly position so promptly and
unflinchingly taken by Hon. Charles
DOugherty as to the combined effort of
the members of the burdened counties.
And why? From the fact that such a
position assumed by an outside county
had more weight: it was expected that
the burdened counties would work for
the bill. The position of the Hon. Chas.
Dougherty in this case was but the re-
flex of his noble character, and obtained
for counties that relief they were seek
ing. His promptness in action and earn
estness in debate strengthened those of
outside counties inclined to be with US
but fearing the result of their action and
converted others unequivocally to the
cause until the bill became a law. Now
is the time to express to Mr.. Dougherty
our appreciation of his services to our
county by placing him i'll a position of
honor Mr.. Dougherty would like to re
ceive the nomination. and is frank enough
to say so. We admire him all the more
for this =! He will make us an able and
efficient member of congress. He is a
graduate; has been returned to the legis-
lature from his county as a member of
the assembly every term during the past
eight years; presided over the assembly
as speaker pro tenn. during the larger
part of the session of 1877; was elected
speaker for the session of 1879 and again
in 1888. As presiding officer he has no
superior in the state; as a debater, he is
earnest, impressive and able. In man
ner, courteous, aud in decision, prompt,
firm and brave. Let us honor this de-
serving young man that has befriended
our people at time when
they scarcely knew where to look to find
a friend
