whatever action be taken shall be
the expression of careful thought
and patient investigation. We are
fully satisfied that the council has
full power to act; they are urged to
do so by long list of our foremost
citizens, and we have every reason
to believe that the action of such
officers will be worthy of endorse
ment by all.
But Iawlessness and the rule of
our worst element will not be allow
ed in Palatka till every legal rene
dy is exhausted, and effort at proven
ton has been conscientiously tested.
We desire no action except that
warranted by the plain letter of the
statute; we shall ask from om Off
GERS only patient investigation and
clear judgment on the merits of the
case; but we shall watch the pro-
ceedings carefully and report fully
and freely for the information of
our citizens This j a matter of
public concern; the qture of Our
city and the preserved pm of law and
order will in a mea he depend on
the decision rendered, and the re-
cord must be fully made up when
the case is closed.
1t is our happiness that no result
can be attributed to partisan mott
YES. A republican officer is to be
tried, but he cannot be convicted
without the vote of republicans, one
of whom is an ex-mayor of Palatka,
and present chairman of the repub-
lican executive committee, who is
also well known in our community
as a gentleman Of strict integrity,
logical mind and long experience in
public affairs. The democratic mem
bers are equally well-known, and
equally interested in the good name
of Palatka, and identified with her
past The composition of the coun.
Gil is a warrant that its decision will
be free from partisan bias, for we
have two democrats, two republicans
and democrat who was elected on
the Independent ticket. We have
reason to believe that all have a full
sense of the responsibility resting on
them, as well as a clear comprehen-
sion of the interests involved To
them we leave the case, invoking
only their pains-taking care in the
investigation and a decisive judg-
ment on the evidence to be presented.

The indignation felt by our citi-

the mayor of Palatka, will take tan
gible shape at the next session of
our council, A petition has been
drawn directing the attention of
that body TO the conduct of which
we complain, and praying action

Clellan's Digest, which authorizes
the expulsion of any city officer by
the council for ''mal-conduct." The
citizens have employed counsel, and

DR.. Shaffranek, one of onr most
valued citizens, has been to New
Orleans, and we welcome his return
from other than personal motives
because he will shortly give to our
readers notes of his travels and OBJ
servations made at the exposition.
From his standpoint these subjects
will have a new light, because the
doctor is a learned specialist of wide
experience who has made Florida
his home and is deeply interested in
all that concerns his adopted state.
He is now engaged in the compost
ton of works on botany and kin
dred topics which will have high
scientific value when completed.

now put fresh color on the roseate

But those who sign so many testi-

startling facts before their opinion
