To-day the vote will be taken on
the question whether Palatka shall
bond herself or not. But the issue
will furnish no sure criterion where
by an opinion can be formed as to
as the wishes of our citizens.
Many of us are in doubt not as to
whether we should bond our city for
purposes of internal improvements,
but how far the present intentions
Of our council can be legally carried
out. How could you separate the
two issues after both were afoat ?
Can a municipal council create a
board Of trustees to handle public
money? There is no doubt as to
the legality OF a debt contracted by
a city for the purpose Of making
needed improvements, but the mat
ter is now so complicated by side
issues that we have little hope Of
seeing a majority of the votes cast
to-day "For the Bonds"

We never shoot at dead game. One

charge at the Times-Union. We aimed
at but one, but, much to our surprise,
we brought down the entire staff. The
grand editorial autocrat and head-center
says that the second in command wrote
the article in which was incorporated
the matter borrowed from us; the sec
ond says he got it from the news editor,
who is under the impression" that he
condensed" it from an article in the
Gulf Coast Progress. All of this is set
forth in a formal letter addressed to the
'editor-in-chief" by the first lieutenant
The substance of the plea in justification
is that of a similar one offered on rather
a different occasion; sit was such a little
one" Well, let it go; we are satisfied.
We don't think they'll do so any more. -

4 GREAT CONTEST.

It is understood that Jerome Case, the
owner of the horse Phallas, and Mr..
Cohenfeid, the owner OF the horse
Maxey Cobb, are in correspondence with
each other endeavoring to come to an un-
derstanding about a race between these
two greatest OF trotting horses. Both
horses, on the sires' side, trace back in
the same lines to Hambletonian, 10.
PhaIias is by Dictator, the sire OF Jay
Eye-See, a son o. old Hambletonian,
while Maxey Cobb is by Happy Medium,
also by old Hambletonian. The dam OF
Dictator was Clara, and the dam OF
Happy Medium was the famous Cali
fornia ten miller, Princess. Old Cali
fornia sportsmen will remember her, as
she was famous throughout the West
twenty years ago.
For many years it was popular and
almost universal theory among horsemen
that stations could not make remark
ably fast time, but this idea no longer OBJ
tains. as the performances OF the two
horses above named clearly show. Ii
the race now being arranged for shall
come off on the 4th OF July, it will doubt
less be among the most famous and eX-
citing ones that the American trotting
turf has ever witnessed, although it is
more than prabable that no trotting horse
will ever create the same sensation that
Flora Temple did when she beat the
record at Kalamazoo in 1858. To-
day her time is good but
does not approach that of Maud S,
Jay-Eye-See, Rarus, Phallas, Trinkett,
Maxey Cobb, Phil Thompson and others.
What she did it was, at that time,
thought could not be done. There are
anly two other horses in America, or the
world, that could be matched against
each other that would create the same
interest as a race between the two stall
lions above named, and those two horses
are Maud S. and Jay-Eye. See. Ameri-
cans are as fond of their trotting horses
and races as Englishmen are of their
thoroughbreds and running races, and
the coming race will be national in its
interest.

the civil power over political affairs In
Utah Territory.
The NeacS correspondent says that the
Mormons came one thousand miles from
civilization to enjoy their religion. lis
true: but what then9 Did not the
Puritaus come to New England Tor the
same purpose? And are the descend
ants of the Puritans to be allowed 10
govern the political affairs OF the New
England of to-day as their ancestors con-
trolled the affairs of Plymouth Colony
Tn TO the time OF the advent OF the
Normons here the mountaineers were
under no laws, but upon the establish
ment of Territorial government, they
came under the laws OF that Territory,
And so it was with the Mormons ana
tbe United States. The arguments that
tbinos were SO and so IS no
reason why they must ever continue SO;
and because in early days there were only
Mormons in Utah and they came on ac-
count Of their church, is not reason
why their church should be permitted to
set I'D its ecclesiastical standard OF thirgs
in the State and compel the State to con-
form to that standard.
When the writer who fears his God and
loves his country brags SO about
the "solvent condition Of our Ter
ritorv, our counties and cities to-
day." he entirely forgets the case
OF the Salt Lake City Canal when the
city, owing to the non-union of Church
and State, paid his church $4,000 toi
an old canal and compelled the new
canal to drop some forty-four feet to meet
it. Likewise he forgets that the Terri
tory is suing the eX-collector of taxes foi
this county, for something like fifty
thousand dollars He also forgets thai
the ex-county clerk for this county is un
derindictment for embezzlement OF public
funds. Nor does he remember the case O
the ex-collector of Beaver county. AnC
these men did not belong to the "set o
hungry cormorants-s enemies
bitter foes, political tricksters; with
out principle, without honor" Far
from it; they are among the
worthy ones of the Peoples party,
and these ''men who performed
these faithful services for the State with
out compensation were, however, devoted
religionists, and many OF them were
practical polygamists." But still there is
no union of Church and State in Utah
and it could easily be shown that there is
not, but time and space do not permit us
to do so TODAY.

Owing to the depression OF business,
the fees in several of the foregoing con-
sulates fell off considerably as compared
with previous years. Many of the others
with an income of less than thousand q
wear, are valuable to the incumbents on
account of the commercial opportunities
they afford.
There is no good reason why all these
consulates should not be regularly pro-
vided with annual salaries instead OF re-
ceiving fees which often exceed the
graded pay for higher service. An alb
surd regard for the old ruts OF precedant,
without respect to changed conditions, is
answerable for this incongruous arrange
ment.,

THE UNSALARIED CONSULS.
How Uncle Sam's Agents Abroad
Are Compensated.

There are four hundred and thirty
officers in the consular service. They
are designated, respectively, as Consuls-
General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, Consular
Agents, Consular Clerks, and Com
mercial Agents. OF this number, two
hundred and three, or less than one-half,
receive regular salaries. The others are
paid by fees received at the different
agencies. These fees are allowed at the
discretion OF the Secretary of State.
The Register of the Department of
State gives a full list of all the persons
employed in this service, but it specifies
only the salaries appropriated by law.
Returns from the offices which are sup
ported by fees are, like the others, made
to the accounting bureaus OF the Treasury,
and the pay allowed to them can only be
ascertained by delving through their re-
ports.
This information is valuable at a time
when consular appointments are in great
demand, and when little is known of
their pay beyond the limited number
reported in the Departmental Register.
In several cases the fees from the agencies
are much larger than those at some of
the most important consulates. In such

pay by the receipts.

A | NJ NOVEL HERO.
Willie Hutchinson Shot.

Yesterday afternoon, Willie Hutch
inson, aged eleven, met with an &C
cident which caused considerable ex-
element. His mother and sister had
gone up town to spend the afternoon
when the boy attempted to create a
sensation. He was fooling with a
pistl which was loaded, when the
instrument became distressed;t the con-
tents of one chamber in the % calibre
gun flew from the muzzle ofthe barrel,
struck the boy in the lower part of
his neck and passed along the left
Jaw. The bali came out in the side
about one inch below the ear. In
the passage Of the leaden messenger,
the carotid artery was nearly sew red.
Considerable hemorrhage followed
and the wound was very painful.
The wound IL no: necessarily fatal. DR..
G. S. Whitford was called aud dressed
the wound.
After the shooting a rumor became
rife that the youngster had been shot
by a man. Under sheriff Buzzo and
an assistant at once repaired to the
residence of the boys parents.
Investigation revealed the truth as
stated above, but the boy first stated
that he had been shot by a man who
attempted to enter the house for the
purpose of robbery. The fact that
his face was powdel-burned gave the
lie direct to toe statement made to
DR.. Whitford, who discovered the
fabrication. Sheriff Buzzo, upon in
vest.gating the matter, put the would
be Dime Novel Hero up in a true
light. These boys should be careful
in making such statements. They
not only annoy the neighbors, but
put to very much Inconvenience the
officers of the law who are supposed
10 watch for offenders and protect the
interests of honest people.
