Tho Trouble With Ocean NfaiIs

The American steamship companies
which stopped carrying the mails on
Aug. 1, doubtless feel that they have good
reasons for their course. They think that
the Postmaster General ought to distri-
butte the $500, 600 subsidy which Congress
voted at the last session when il repealed
the law which compelled the steamship
companies to carry the mails at the rate
fixed by the Post Office Department, and
the Postmaster General thinks that be
cannot distribute the subsidy until there
is further legislation with regard to it.
1t is pretty certain, however, that the
attempt Of the steamship companies to
bulldoze the Postmaster General has not
been approved by the county and will
not be by Congress. The Postmaster
General may be wrong in refusing to par
Gel out the subsidy, but assuming that he
is. would 1t not have been more business
lie and dignifed for them to have ac-
cepted the compensation offered them,
and waited for Congress to settle the
question about the subsidy, than to have
pursued the course they didg The COM
pensation offered was about four times as
great as they had been receiving.
There is a story told In the Washington
specials in connection with this matter
that does not reflect the very highest credit
on the Post Office Department. II is
said that an employe of the Department
was instructed to take passage on the
steamer which sailed from san Francisco
to Panama on Saturday, and to carry the
mail in trunks as his personal baggage.
IL seems that the company. having dis
covered the scheme TO make it carry the
mails without any compensation what
ever, refused to carry the employe and
his trunks Of mail matter.
The company probably had no right to
refuse TO carry the employee and his
baggage, and 1t might perhaps be held
for damages as common carrier for its
refusal; but it must be admitted that to
attempt TO deceive the steamship COM
pany was hardly in keeping with the
dignity OF a great government.
1t may be that the reason the steam
ship companies are 80 anxious to get hold
of the subsidy is that they are afraid
that if it is not distributed now
Congress will not order 1t 10 be distrib-
uted. II they could feel certain that they
would get 1t, it is probable that they
would wait willingly, and would at the
same time continue to carry the mails.
The Postmaster General can, of course
get the mails carried. but not so quickly
or satisfactorily as they were carried by
the American steamship companies.

killed by the Sting Of a Bee.

from me 81. james GdG6JCe.
Mr.. w. II. Blanchard, ironmonger. of Poole.
died yesterday, July 0, from the effects of the
sting of a bee. While walking ia his gardt
about a fortnight ago a bee stung him in the
neck, which commenced swelling shortly af-
terwaF1; and, Notwithstanding that medical
advice was called, and several doctors subse-
quently attended him, he continued to get
worse, and died yesterday morning after a
great deal of suffering.
Serious disturbance Of the system frequently
follows the sting of an insect, and deaths fem
the same cause occasionally happen. The
susceptibility of some people to the stings of
insects ia balanced by the entire immunity
from such evils enjoyed by others.
While one person dare not 20 near a bee
hive, another can handle the bees with com
plete safety. Cases have even been we'll known
where the strongest personal attraction was
inVolUntarily exercised over the bees In 1866
a Mr.. Wildman, of Plymouth. was famous for
his command over these insects. He could by
a word make them hive or swarm in the air.
On one occasion, says contemporary record,
The made them go on the table, and took them
up by handfuls and tossed them up and down
like 30 many peas" In 1897 a Mr.. Wright was
walking in his garden at Norwich, bavlng
some days before expressed astrOng wish that
a swarm of bees would come on his premises
HIS desire was gratifed, for a passing flight
settled on his head ''tiIl they made an appear
ance like Judges wig "
No record seems to exist Of capacity to be
stung without feeling il, but many people
suffer abnOrmally from such an inhictiOn
Probably inquiry would show that in most
cases Of excessive injury from a bee or wasp
sting the sufferers blood wac very much out
of order.

The Constitutional Convention OF Flori-
da has completed it's work and adjourned.
The people OF the State know about what
kind Of an instrument il framed, because
the various provisions were published as
they were presented, discussed, and acted
upon.
There are parts of the new constitution
that will meet with considerable opposl-
ton; but, taken altogether, it will proba-
bly, be very generally approved. There
are good many features of it that are a
great improvement on similar features in
the present constitution.
OF course it will not be until it has been
tried that the people will be able to eX-
press a really intelligent opinion with
regard to it's merits. The parts which
now appear to be the best may prove to be
the most unsatisfactory when put in Oper-
alton. A year after the work of the con-
VentiOn has been ratified, or two years,
a better idea of what the people think Of
the new constitution can be obtained than
at present.
There is one thing, perhaps, about
which there will not be a great differ
ence of opinion, and that is that the new
instrument is very much better than the
old. The objections to the old instrument
were avoided as far as possible in framing
the new. The aim ofthe convention was to
give the State an organic law that would
accelerate its progress in wealth and
population, and there is no reason at pres
ent to think it missed its aim very far.
There are some provisions which we
think would be better for the State if they
were different. We have already dis
cussed them, and it is useless TO call at
tention TO them again. The new consti-
tuition will be adopted. doubtless, and we
shall see whether these provisions meet
with popular approval or not.
There is tendency in every State when
it frames new constitution to make 1t
cover too many subjects. Matters that
ought to be left to the Legislature are put
into the constitution, and the organic
law, instead Of being brief
and simple, is voluminOus and
not readily comprehended. Indeed, the
tions of it are to be given an interpreted
tion different from what it's trainers in
tended. An objection to the new consti-
tuition of Florida is that it is too long. 1t
is n question whether, when the main
provisions of a constitution are satisfac-
tory, it wouldn't be better to make such
changes as are necessary by amendment
rather than 70 incur the risk and ex-
pense of framing an entirely new instru-
ment.
Under her present constitution Florida
has aad wonderful growth. Iuasmuch
AS the new constitution is superior to the
old it will not be surprising if the
adoption of the new constitution marks
an era Of increased prosperity.

The Exposition 81 New orleans.

The Exposition al New Orleans
Contrary to expectation the people Of
New Orleans sucoeeded in raising among
themselves enough money 10 justify the
reopening Of the exposition in that city.
1t will be reopened, therefore, next NO
vember for period OF five months under
| new officers and q new name, The name
that has been given the new enterprise is
the North, Central and South American
Exposition. It's eapitaI is $500, 900, and
it doesn't expect any aid from the govern
ment. '% H'hse t-t
1t has very valuable plant. that cost
many times more than the new organiza-
ton gave for 1t, and there Will be very
few Of the drawbacks in getting ready for
the opening which the original enterprise
encountered.
Already the buildings are being re-
paired, and long before the opening day
they will be in as good, if not better, con-
ditiOn than they we're last winter.
There are no reasons why the exposi-
ton should not be a success. or course
it will not have as many visitors as the
original exposition had, and it is probable
that it is not expected that it will, but,
then, the expenses will not be nearly so
great.
The plan that is being pursued to
secure exhibits being very liberal, it
can hardly fail 20 be successful. A
special effort is 0eing made to in
terest Central and South American
countries, and with promises Of crafty
ing results. If the republics south of US
do what is expected OF them there will be
a much more liberal response from the
great manufacturing interests OF this
country than there otherwise will he be-
cause there Is now growing determine
ton on the part OF these interests to get a
stronger foothold in the South American
markets.
Every Southern State was represented
at the exposition last winter, and each
was benefited greatly; and every one Of
them ought 10 be. and doubtless will be,
represented even more fully at the
recognized exposition. None OF them
can afford to be absent. They have
great resources and need immigrants and
capital to develop them. To get these
they must make their resources known.
In what way can they make them known

boat was manned and sent of TO it. The raft
was found to consist of bamboo canes, having

dangerous and useless TO go on to such a frau

parcel was secured and taken on board the

in the habit of floating their dead away to sea
