JUDGE SUTHERLAND'S RETURN
From Observations in Washington
gae Thinks Some Radical Anti
Mormon BilI VIII Pass.

Judge j. Il. Sutherland returned last
evening from two-months' visit at the
National Capital, and was interviewed by
Il DEMOCRAT reporter shortly after he had
ensconced himself in his Office this morn
ing. 1t will be remembered that early in
January Judge Sutherland and Judge
Bennett LETT quietly for Washington, and
it became known soon after their depart
urc that the object of the trip was for and
against the interests of Judge Powers
confirmation, MIR. Bennett championing
the latter's cause, while Mr. Sutherland
went laden with formidable facilities for
defeating it, The whole proceeding
was said to have grown out OF the recent
Bullion Beck Eureka Hill mining suit. in
which these two distinguished lawyers
were pitted against each other but let
| that he rs it may, certain it is that they
have each labored faithfully and ably on
their respective missions. Judge Bennett,
on his return last month, gave the most
positive assurances that there was no
need to harbor any fear relative to the
confirmation OF Judge Powers, rs the
means employed for his defeat were
neither dignitied nor powerful.
Judge Sutherland to-day, when asked
about the prospects for the confirmation
by the Senate committee, answered
quietly but cmphatically: 81 have Il
feeling OF perfect assurance that Judge
Powers Will not be confirmed, and al
though something may arise to bring
about different result, there il little
probability of it, The Michigan Con,
gressmen are arrayed unitedly against
Don NJ. Dickinson, and whatever else the
movement may accomplish, it can't fail
to cause very serious disruption in tbs
state politics; there was ne too much
Conference before this disagreement, and
1t is safe to predict that the fusion OF fac
tons which ushered IN what was regarded
as partial Democratic victory will prove
refractory and incapable OF coalition in
the future.

Silver I'm Germany.

1t is highly probable that the silver discussion
will soon come to an end. 1t Is very evident that
the public mind Is not favorable to any PROPOSE
ton which will lessen the amount of legal tender
currency in this country. Germany is one of the
countries which demonetized silver, and peti.
tons are flooding. her Parliament, now in ses-
sion, to undo the great wrong inflicted upon the
great body other people. The following extract
from the petitions will apply with equal force In
the United States:
We protest against the imputstion that has
been cast upon the German land interest, OF
wishing by means OF bi.meta1lism, to deal un.
fairly with our creditors. We are protecting
ourselves against dead money. We demand for
silver only restoration to Its old historic rca-
TONS And we see In this no injustice to credit
ors; Certainly no injustice greater than the in
justice done to debtors by the demonstration OF
silver. The rise Of gold In all countries using
silver and paper standard not only checks the
exports resulting from German industries, but 1t
has also created competition with our German
agricultural producers against which customs du.
ties are an inadequate protection, because gold
rises rapidly Ia those countries TO point be-
yond the amount of the duties, and thereby prac-
tically annuls the defensive value of those du-
ties.

ted in this petition 10 the characterization Of sill

Iational Conference ef Charities
ama Correctlon.


The circular call is issued for the Thir-
teenth National Conference to meet in
the Capitol, St. Paul. Minnesota, July Is
and remsin in session until the 2lst. The
object of the Conference is "to obtain
and diffuse information respecting benev-
olent, charitable, penal, and reformatory
work, embracing the care and cure of the
insane; the saving and the protection
and reformation of children and youth !;
the whole subject Of prison management
and reform; the education and care Of
the blind, the deaf and dumb, and the
feeble-minded; the prevention and cure
of pauperism; the management of work
houses and poor-houses; in fact, every
means devised for ameliorating the con-
dition of the defective, dependent and
delinquent classes of our fellow-beings."
The circular states that papers on these
different topics will be presented by dis
tinguished men, supposed to be the best
informed on the subjects discussed, and
there will be present a large number of
practical men who have devoted years,
perhaps lifetimes, to the study of spe-
cialty. Theories will be examined by
the light of experience to determine the
best methods, that mistakes In the older
States may be avoided in the institutions
of the new. These National Conferences
have steadily increased in Importance
and usefulness. The twelfth, held in
Washington, D. c., last year, was at
tended by four hundred delegates and
thirty-five States were represented, and
the indications are that the next will be
yet more largely attended. The Confer
ence has Corresponding Secretary in
each State aud territory, Capt. w. D.
Chipley representing Florida. and Elk
Governor Colquitt, Georgia. Hon. VIM.
Howard Nef, of Cincinnati, is President
and Col. J. II. Estill, proprietor of the
Savannah Ne,cs, one of the three Vice
Presidents.

Senator G. w. Jones.

Because Senator G.. w. Jones has not
appeared in his seat during the present
session of Congress several papers of the
State have made coarsely abusive refer
ence to him. They are without reliable
information as to the causes of his alb
sence, and have no right to assume that
one whose great ability and valuable SER
vices to his State cannot be disputed is
now voluntarily derelict in duty. We
accept no presumed cause of absence al
legged by his defamers, and believe that
he could, if he chose to yield to their
clamor, make such explanation as would
put them to shame. But he is not the
sort of man that can be goaded out of his
gait by scurrilous pens.

Africa 10000 cocoanus. These are to be
planted this year along strip of sea coast many
miles in length, down toward the southernmost

This paragraph has appeared in sundry
papers, and is probably correct as to the

DEAR SIR: My hasty scrawl yesterday only
explained the delay of this reply. l was charmed
with Governor Perry, and prepared TO appreci-
ate in your first sentence the words, " our ex-
cellent and beloved Governor" Such a man in
such position is sure to be great benefactor
to your State.
thank you for your invitation and for your
kind letter in the Times Union. ! meant TO say
TO the Governor that l would lecture for the
benefit of the monument fund at Tallahassee,
and perhaps one or two other places, simply for
my expenses, but did not anticipate so general
a response as your article indicates. l will
frankly say to you that l am confident that un-
der the auspices of Governor Perry and yourself,
can render good service TO these towns and
cities.
My past experience confirms the conviction
that great and lasting benefits would come to
them by awakening town pride and public spirit
end leading every citizen, or rather the citizens
generally, each to do his best in improv-
ing his own grounds and place. No State
in the Union has the opportunity of invit-
ing 80 large numbers from the North TO its bOrd-
eIs Tor winter homes or to be permanent settlers,
or to its many winter hotels
Confident that b;oqd valuable and permanent
results may be accomplished for the material ad-
vancement of Florida, confess | should like
some pay for so long work as you propose.
Hence l would suggest that you arrange in some
way to pay $40 90 and expenses for each even
ing lecture, day lectures to Academies, Colleges
or Common Schools, to be free, and all the re-
ceipts for tickets, or in any way for the lectures
10 go To the monument fund
l heartily sympathze with your efforts to
raise that fund. l see great results coming to
your entire State from this monument, which
by being started by the Governor and carried on
under his sanction and encouragement, and ex-
tended by man of his ability and popularity,
would enhuse your fellow citizens and attract
attention to Florida widely through the North.
In my own correspondence with Northern pa
pers, can and shall be glad TO extend that i'm
preston in the North, if the results l anticipate
are realized.
do feel that the day has come for the full fra
ternizng of our people-North and South, and
for the feeling that heroism, selfsacrifce, pa
trioiism and conservation to the commanding
law of duty as each one may see it and feel it in
his own conscience are noble and worthy 10 be
honored in bronze and marble as well as on the
historic page. In shaping my own plans an early
reply is desired

Please Note.

Without being informed of the facts
several papers have jumped to the con-
cluson that part of Governor PeIry's
business in Washington was to urge that
the naval drill should take place at Pen
sacola rather than at another point on the
Gulf coast of Florida. Governor Perry
took no part in the matter, and did not
even meet the Secretary of the Navy
while in Washington. He was there be-
fore the deputation from Pensacola as to
the naval drill left home. His business in
Washington, as stated in the last issue of
the FLORlDIAN, was to attend to the In
dian War Claims, the Swamp and Over
flowed Lands question, and the payment of
the Census enumeIators-which matters
are probably in progress of quick adjust
ment as the consequence of his visit.
Thus Governor Perry was in Washington
in the interest of the whole State, and
none who know him could suppose for
moment that he would use his official or
personal influence in favor Of any locality
to the detriment of another.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Jan. 80, 1885.
The tide of travel Is now directed towards the
South. and all those able 10 leave their homes in
the more northern States, where the severity OF
the weather this winter has been more marked
and disastrous in Its results than ever, naturally
desire 10 visit a country where bright sunny
weather and cheerful associations will afford the
much needed relief from the bleak and dismal
winters of the North. The charming weather
and superior advantages afforded in Florida at
tract large share of travel, and now on all the
railroads leading South are well filed coaches
containing through passengers for Florida, near
" all of whom are iicketed to Jacksonville, from
which point they go up the St. Johns river and
to points in South and East Florida; very few
only ever knowing that there is such country
as Middle or West Florida. The unrivaled beau
ty of the middle section is left unknown, and
consequently unappreciated because OF the ao-
sence of information regardingit.
1t remains for the enterprising publicspirlted
citizens of that section to say whether this de-
plorable and reproachful state of affairs shall de-
generate into perpetuity, or whether that most
favored section shall keep pace with the rapid
strides to prosperity and wealth now being
made in other less desirable portions Of a grow
ing. progressive State.
The lack of proper transportation facilities is
great drawback, bat even those now at the COM
mand OF the citizens coul he used to advantage
by proper efforts to make known the great in
ducements offered to visitors and settlers in the
hill country of the Land of Flowers. All that
is needful is to get the tide of travel turned in
the direction of Middle Florida and the newt
able consequence will be full share OF the
tourists who annually visit Florida, and many
will evidence their appreciation OF that beauti-
full and attractive region by becoming perma-
nent, desirable and useful residents.
