ANSWERS.

In the most public place in the
city, just opposite the postofficc
building, the Palatka National Bank
is erecting a massive brick block
rendered necessary by the demand
for more space made on them by
their increasing business. This an
swer Palatka makes to the charge
that Florida is ruined.
Nearly one hundred buildings in
different portions of our city may
be seen in various stages of the pro-
cess of erection. This is another.
There are no vacant stores or
business places labeled ''for rent" in
Palatka. This is another.
The rooms of our real estate
agents ale besieged by prospective
buyers who have money to pay
cash. This is another.
There is no decrease in the price
of labor, of merchandise or real es-
tate in east Florida. This is an
other.
And throughout the county our
farmers are not dlsheartened, they
have not ceased the work of steady,
tasteful Improvement, and every
saw-m;ll is kept busy all day and a.
late at night as possible. This is
another.
Taken all in all, these plain proofs
to be seen of all men should invali-
date a thousand letters written by
half-informed anonymous CORES
pondents.

All! why is it a greater crime to
shoot the poor little bird who has
sense enough to sing only in the
lonely woods where his sweet notes
can distract nobody, than the big
idiot who sings where people have
to work and whistles on the street
and yells by note when we want to
sleep. If that boy would only shoot
the big fool instead of the little one,
what benefacter he might make
of himself. Even now his statue
would have been holding the lamp
over New York harbor instead of
that of Liberty. He would not have
been neglected as Adam has been.
And although with the spring
comes all green things including the
said poet and the said musician to-
gether with the said shooter and
even the cat of tender heart and
feminine voice, yet we welcome thee,
sweet spring. Come again when
you can stay longer and take our
favorite chair before the winter fire

buds of the orange begin to hide

And now we fear with the spring

spring poet, the songs of the cat,

THE TRAMPS.

Some of our contemporaries are at
issue on the tramp question. On
one side house-keepers are exhortcd
to keep hot water handy and give
dose to every able-bodied applicant
for cold potatoes; in opposition to
this we are reminded that the pro-
miscuous use of water in this con-
nection might soil the robe of some
angel, who would of course be both |
penniless and healthy, on the occa-
sion of such visits as We are told |
they are in the habit of paying us.
Now charity is one thing and hos
pitality to tramp is another. Any
thing given to strong loafer in
Florida is simply so much extorted
from childish sympathy or the weak
ness of the giver. For no man need
be without work here, and in our eli
mate there need be no suffering en-
tailed by want on any one who is
able and willing. The angel, wheth
er penniiess or not, is so scarce that
we are under no obligation in these
days to feed loafer in expectation
of being repaid by a blessing which
| will be needed in heaven. 1t is true
that one can not always find work
| which will not brown his hand and
soil the immaculate shine of his
shirt, for, as a general thing, the
clerks and book-keepers are always
with us and each century gives us on
ly a few of those born to glorify a ho-
tel Office. We need, however, thous-
ands of men who can dig and reap
and SOW; who see no disgrace in
seeking blessing directly from the
kind mother of all, and who think
work of any kind more honorable
than the most pretentious idleness.
Kindness to tramp may prevent
his enlistment in the great army of
those upon whom really rests the
wide burden of modern civilization,
aud the habit of loafing will engen-
der crime as naturally as the sparks
fly upward.
1t is kindness to the tramps no
less than care for ourselves which
breathes in the spirit of the law con-
demning those-who toll not, neither
do they spin. Lilies of the field
may be all right under some circum-
stances, but man must eat and he
has not yet begun to reap lilies in
stead of corn. The apostles who
were ordered TO take no care for the
morrow had serious work to do. and
even in old times the angels came
down on business always and never
hung loafing around for weeks in
dens which become nurseries OF
crime and hotbeds for the growth
OF the foulest weeds. Palatka has
gotten rid of the tramps who haunt
ed us as loafers by day and burglar:
and gamblers by Light; they were
set TO work on the street, and if an
gels were among them they filed {
place in the chain gang as we'll a:
another, and if they shook the sane
: from their feet afterwards we never
heard of the fact. Sickly sentimali
ty is out place in the nineteenth cen
tury.

AMERICA Fsi& AMERICANS.

The House judiciary Committee
have reported adversely the bill to
prohibit aliens from assuming titles
to or owning lands in the United
States \ minority report In favor
of the bill was submitted by
Messrs. Oates Of Alabama and
Hepburn of Iowa. The minority,
in support of their views, refer to
the case Of Mr.. Scully, who resides
in England and Is a British sub
ject. and who owns 80 600 acres IN
Illinois. occupied by hundreds OF
tenants. mostly ignorant foreigners.
from whom herecelves as rents 500,
600 per annum, and expends 1t IN
Europe. The Sheuley estate, con-
sistiny of about 1000 acres, within
the city limits of Pittsburg and
Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, is
cited as another instance OF alien
landlordism in America. The
Shenleys are British subjects re-
siding in England, who draw an
nually from their American estates
100000. The minority report
concludes thus: With the natural
increase in population, and the
100000 foreigners who flock to our
shores annually, and by competl-
ton are reducing the wages OF
labor, making the battle of life
harder to win, how to provide
homes for our people few years
hence is a problem for the Amer
can statesmen to solve. The multi
plication of the owners OF the soil
is corresponding enlargement OF
the number of patriots, and every
land owner in this country should
owe allegiance to the United
States.

Tho State during the next few
months promise to be LARGELY in
competency scrambling for power.
Looking over the archives of the
State since it came into the Union
one 81, DIS a sorry record in which
tho interests of Nevada have been
s;mply sacrificed for individual
greed
The APPEAL does not blame any
particnlar party for this work. Each
marty has Wed with the other, TO
see how many dummies it could
Mace in Office. The taxpayers
have been called upon to support a
State government which has given
them next to nothing IN return.
The develorement of the natural
resources Of the State has received
no consideration at the hands OF
these men. ANY bill looking to the
material Advancement of Nevada,
falls to the ground in the Legisld-
tnre after weeks of bitter wrangl-
ing. while rasca.ly scheme to
Ian! slide iackass into Office is
railroaded through both houses
while the ink is drying on the bill.
This sort of trifing with the
people's interest ought to be resent
ed by the people and a rebuke ad-
ministered to the frauds and hum
bugs who insist on having life
leases of Office, that they Will never
forget. Our representatives IN

kicked and cuffed about by some OF
the rottenest political tricksters that
ever sold out their honest consult
uents and it is one of the mysteries
of the ages that the sturdy lnhabi-
tants of this section of the world
are SO humble. patient and long sut-
fering. The need of the hour Is
policy that will take into some con
sideration the proposition OF put
ting this State on its feet and ar
resting its downward course We
would have it rebaptised and re-
lieyed forever of the name of the
Rotten Borough, an aPpelatlon
which though well deserved and

stroyed our credit abroad and put
