Pensacola Navy Yard has millions
of dollars worth Of government property
going to ruin. which should be utilized in
building a navy capable of sustaining the
honor of the nation on the high seas and
protecting and defending American citi
zens in foreign ports; yet this fine prop
erty is left to the care Of half dozen
men who can do little more than watch
it's decay. We hope the Secretary Of the
Navy will examine into the status Of
Pensacola Navy Yard and make such
orders as will best serve the interests Of
the government until the meeting Of
Congress, when we have no doubt pro-
vision will be made to put the yard in
thorough working order. There is no
telling what may occur in these trouble
some times and it is certainly best to be
always ready.-Pemsacola Advdnce- Ga

At q meeting of the Democratic Exec
utive Committee of Leon county, held st
Tallakassee on Saturday, the 2sth inst,
majority of the committee being present,
it was determined, after mature consider
alton, by unanimous vote. that II was
inadvisable for the Democrats OF this
county to nominate candidates for cleo
ton TO the Constitutional Convention.
This course was taken, as the resolution
expresses, because Of the hopelessness OF
electing any ticket we might nominate
and not from any satisfaction with the
ticket presented to the voters OF the
county by the Republican Convention.
