school Matters in the Florida Con
VentiOn.

The liberal spirit that is cropping out
in the Florida constitutional convention
relative to common schools is doubtless, a
source of satisfaction to all friends Of ed
ucation.
Nothing has yet been determined, of
course, but the report of the committee
which has charge of educational matters
is OF the most encouraging character.
This report gives the interest of the State
school fund, which fund comes from five
different sources, TO the common schools.
Ii authorizes one mill State tax, and q
county tax OF not less than three, nor
more than five mills on the dollar for com.
mon school purposes. 1t also permits, at
the will of the majority, a district school
tax of not more than four mills on the
dollar.
Clearly the convention understands
/ that the growth of the State in wealth
/ and population will be in proportion TO
I progress made in establishing comm on
schools of a high grade.
4 FlOrida's advancement has been very
/ great, but great as it has been it will be
/ still greater if those who have her desti
/ MES in their hands pursue course thai
/ will draw to her the best class OF immi.
grants-such immigrants as seek home.
/ only where the school house and the
church house are regarded as necessary
to every well regulated and prosperous
/ community.
/ 1t evident also that the convention pro
1 poses to recognize the claims of the col
/ leges and seminaries of the State. The
I Legislature, IN this report Of the cduca.
tional committee, is authorized 10 make
provision for them. 1t is noticeable thai
the black people are treated with the sam,
! liberality as the white people.
Florida being without debt can AFFORD
te be liberal in educational matters. tn,
more liberal she is the more rapid will hel
Advancement be.

One Of the great problems which awaits
solution is that which is presented by
the question, what - the best method OF
dealing with convicts? It is admitted
that they ought not 10 be allowed to re-
main Idle, not only because the expense
OF maintaining them is great, but also be-
cause the effect of idleness is very de-
m0ralizing. Workingmen, however, OBJ
iect to the employment of conyicts be-
/ cause it tends to lessen the value OF their
/ labor. 1t can be seen at a glance, there
fore, that the problem is full Of difficulties.
Gov. Alger, of Michigan, in his last
message 20 the Legislature, recommended
that contract labor in the prisons Of that
state be abolished. His recommendation
was acted on fayorably, and a few days
ago a bill abolishing the contract labor
system was presented to bin for his
signature. lie vetoed the bill, and he
gave as his reason for his act tina. when
he wrote mis- message he had not given the
contract question much thought, but that
while it was being considered by the
Legislature he had studied it carefully
and had reached the conclusion that the
contract system ought not to be abolished
until a better system was provided TO take
its place.
The frankness of the Michigan Cover
nor shows how full Of difficulties this con-
Wet problem is. Some OF the best minds
of the country are working ut it, aud they
think they have done something towards
solving it. Time alone can show whether
or not they are right. When James D..
Fish, the convict banker, was admitted
into the Auburn \. w. prison last Mon
day he was informed that over 400 of its
1000 inmates were idle. New York at
one time was thought to have the most
satisfactory system of caring for CON
ylcts of any State in the Union.
! Her prisons were self-sustaining.
The labor organizations, however,
We're not satisfied to have the products of
convict labor compete with the products
of their labor, and New York is now as
unsettled with respect to her convicts as
any one OF the other States.
The best plan yet suggested appears to
be to purchase in the vicinityof the prison
enough land to afford employment as farm
laborers for one-half the inmates
and to utilize the other half in
constructing wagon roads and other pub
lie Improvements throughout the State.
The farm, if well managed, could be
made to support the entire prison, and
| the state would get its roads built tree of
cost.

Talk About a Navy.

The Hon. James Russell Lowell before
leaving London had conversation with
an English naval officer on the subject of
the policy of our government in relation
to the building Of war ships. The officers
advice was ''do not create a navy until
you need it, and then build your vessels
with all the latest improvements" Mr..
Lowell is a little inclined to favor that
policy, but does not wholly commit him
nit himself to 1t.
1t would hardly be safe to make no
preparation whatever for war in time of
peace. While we do not care to spend
millions of dollars in order to have the
strongest navy in the world, the nucleus
of an effective navy ought to be formed as
soon as possible by the building of a few
vessels Of different classes.
Great progress has been made in naval
architecture within the last % years. The
Improvements have been, in the main, the
outcome of the experience acquired in our
great civil war and in the development of
the electrical science. 1t is not likely
that any other very considerable improve
ments will be made until another war
shall have developed the weak points in
the present naval vessels ami stimulates
inventive genius to make still further i'm
provements.
If we were sure that the next great
war would be one in which the United
| States would not be a participant, we
4 might very well wait to profit by the
/ lessons that could be gathered from its
naval conflicts. Should this country
however, be one of the belligerents in
such a war, lessons gathered from IT
might not only be very dearly obtained
but might be obtained too late.
The true policy of the United States il
to form the nucleus Of navy, one that
will command respect in time of peace
and to prepare the plans and plants thai
would be necessary for the rapid building
OF a complete and powerful navy in tht
event Of war.

John KelIy's Prediction Fulfned.

One week before the election John Kelly

cal ambition and every interest of the Tam
many organizations. He said that thousands
and thousands of members of Tammauy
looked To him for employment which enabled
them to feed and clothe themselves and their
families, and it made him heart sick when he
thought Of the inevitable misfortune winch
awaited them in the event OF MIR. Cleveiand's
election. | asked Mr.. Kelly If he did not
think If Tammany stood true and iir Cleve-
land WAS elected he would give the Tammany
organz8tlon faIr share of the patronage.
NO" he replied, Mr.. Cleveland VIII be
elected, and by the votes of Tammany Hail,
but he Will never DO anything for Tammany."
! rather Insisted at the time in knowing
why, but Mr.. Kelly would only say that no
matter how much Mr.. Cleveland would desire
to DO for Tammanv, the bitter. unreentng
enemies of the organization in New \ ork

was right in his opinion At that time expressed,
and since which he has never changed.
