Mr.. PascO

Does not leave much Of Mr.. Cheney's
argument on the new constitution. Mr..
Cheney pretends TO be afraid that, if the
new constitution is adopted, the Cover
nor will have more power over the local
offices of the State than under the pres
ent one. We had no idea that the
Colonel was right, or that he seriously
entertained such belief; but If he did.
Mr.. Pasco has shown him very clearly
that he is mistaken, and his objections
unfounded.
Mr.. Cheney writes like one who had
motives for the rejection of the new
constitution, other than those set forth
in his communication to the IT,. He
doubtless believes that if the new con-
stitution is rejected the Democrats
Will be defeated at the election two
years from now, and the Republicans
again be returned to power, where. if
the present constitution stands, they
will again hold the State at their mercy,
and control the machinery of State and
local matters for years TO come. But,
vain hope. Mr.. Cheney's party can
never return 10 power in Florida. The
people who have lived under Republi-
can rule will never vote to give it power
again, and sensible Republicans will
support the new constitution on the
ground of its greater merit, rather than
on the vague and uncertain hope that to
defeat it will, in some way, benefit their
party. The new constitution is much TO
be PREFER ed to the old one, and should
receive the vote of every citizen who
heart.

From the Governor"

We publish elsewhere characteristic
letter from the Governor on the side
show election. When Gen. Perry was
our candidate he avowed himself opposed
to the exercise Of autocratic power by
the chief executive except when COM
PEELED by law he was more than will
ing to see this power taken from him by
the New Constitution. In giving effect,
as far as the law will allow him, to the
popular choice in the selection of county
officers, Gov. Perry will always be found
opposed to ring rule and anxious to ex-
pose and punish corruption and malad-
ministration without regard to party
ties or sectional prejudice. 1t could not
be otherwise, because the mans heart
and head is right, and as Governor, he is
bound to be fearless, honest and just in
his official as well as individual relation
to others.
We commend the spirit as well az the
substance of his letter to the chairman
of the Alachua committee, and feel sure
that the wishes of our Democratic Gov
ernor will be respected by the local

the officer, and he resumes the duties of
his office, and II the Senate fails to take
action at all, the failure to act reinstates
him. When he is thus restored TO his
position he suffers no loss of salary or
other compensation in consequence of
his suspension. In no case can any Off
Ger be removed from office exceI by and
with the consent of the Senate, under
the New Constitution, as several classes
of officers can be under the sections of
the present organic law already refer
red TO.
The new instrument is certainly less
subject to the objections urged by your
correspondent than the old, as a com
parison of the full text of Article ~,
Section 10 with the sections of the old
instrument will prove.
In lai or article upon the same sub
ject in the Florida Herald of yesterday,
which L have just seen, Mr.. Cheney
continues the subject and seems To
argue tina: the New Constitution vests
IN the Governor the arbitrary power to
suspend or remove some classes of Off
GERS.
The power TO remove Is given in these
words: The Governor, by and with the
advice and conss mt of the Senate. may
remove any officer, not liable to i'm
parchment, for any cause above named :"
feasance, neglect at duty, commission
of felony, drunkenn, SIS and incompe-
tency.
The remedy in such cases when the
Senate is not in session is by suspen-
sion, 10 continue until the adjournment
OF the next session of the Senate. The
cause of removal is then submitted to
the Senate, unless the Governor has
upon an investigation of the charges
pronounced them untrue. But the sec
ton goes on to provide rs follows: If the
Senate shall refuse TO remove or fail to
take action before adjournment, the
officer suspended shall resume the duties
of the office, No officer sus-
pended who shall under this section re-
sumo the duties of his Office shall suffer
any loss OF salary or other compensation
in consequence of such suspension"
Surely it cannot be fairly charged that
this is more arbitrary than the old in
strument, OF that il makes the Governor
an autocrst. s. PAsCo.

We publish to-day an interesting let
ter from our Federal Point correspon-
dent, who avows his independence Of
party ties and his love of good govern
ment by whomsOever administered.
Such good citizens as Mr.. Tenney are
yearly breaking the ties which bind
them to the old Republican party, and
will either insist on reformation within
that organization or vote for the best
man wherever offered. Then they ~ i'll
be as valuable forces in politics as they
are cstimabls as citizens. neighbors and
friends. II the Republican party has
no use for him under its present SUI erb
leadership" the Democrats will be glad
to see the name of j. F. Tenney on their
muster roll.

Savannah Papers Speak Well OF
Florida

The Savannah Times quotes what
Col. Elliot has to say of the present or
ange crop, in this State, and then says:
If Colonel Elliot's figures are verified.
1t will speak volumes for the State as a
valuable orange growing country, The
greatest enemy that this delicious fruit
has Is cold, and it was feared that the
extraordinary freeZ ng weather of last
winter, would make itself seriously felt
by the growers. Yet in spite of IL all. d
fine crop, worth the handsome sum of a
million and half dollars will probably
be realized.
This will give a fresh impetus to or
ange growing in our Sister State. 1t
shows that the orange tree can stand
much greater strain of cold weather than
has been supposed, and, in consequence,
much greater confidence in the safety
and profitableness of tie industry must
be established. Neither can orange
growing be overdone, because if Florida
was throughout, but one vast grove, the
United States would furnish a market
which would sreedily take up all the
fruit that could be produced.

Doctrine.

IL is one of the cardinal principles OF
tie party, as taught by jefferson. that
taxation should be as direct as is con-
sistent with its equitable levy. 1t is an
other that no money should be drawn
from the people except such as is strictly
necessary for the uses of the govern
ment economically administered.
And this economical administration
Democrats must give to the people If
they would be true to their party. Those
who Ego in for the flag and a large APP
preparation" have strayed from the party
fold. The national government was not
instituted for the purpose OF drawing
funds from one section to be disbursed
in another. Let county and State reg
ulate their local concerns as far as posi-
Bile without Federal interference; let the
national government confine itself to the
the nation.
Let no money be drawn FROM the peo-
pie 10 create surplus, whether at Wash
ington or Palatka. When there is need
let the proper authorities levy a special
tax for a specific purpose. SO that the
people may fully understand its purpose
and see whether it is disbursed properly.
Let there be no attempt to conceal NAL
administration "for the good of the
party" When 1.-the good Of the party"
is not identical with "the good of the
people" let the party go down. The
public servant who conceals corruption
is corrupt himself and has forfeited his
claim on the confidence Of the people.
Let the truth be known, lay the facts
before the people; let the public judge of
all official acts, and let the voice of the
people be obeyed except as it conflicts
with the law. Publicity 10 the best safe
guard for morality in official life, and
eternal vigilance is the price we must
pay for liberty.

The Psychologist.

In the late novel by Hon. =. z. Bishop,
feel a warm interest and pardonable
pride. The author Is well known as one
Of our most distinguis led citizens, while
the character of the work is so high, its
morality SO pure, and its teachings so
elev ated that it will be specially enjoyed
by those who read novels for something
more than startling incident and compli-
Gated plot.
While more than one love story is
bound up in the tasteful volume before
US, and its men and women are live
with sorrow and sin, live with pain and
with passion, Yet we apprehend that it is
mainly for the ma ks of careful thought,
ripe judgment and knowledge of the hu
man mind and heart evinced by its au-
thor. that the book will be chiefly valued.
Evidently the work runs away with the
man-often there are faults Of diction to
be noted by the critic, but these prove
also the earnest purpose, the hearty alb
sorption in the work Indicative of the
artist,
In his defense of civil service reform
in the national administration Mr.. Bishop
is happy and forcible. His descriptions
OF Southern life and scenery show close
observation and intimate knowledge,
but it is through the mouth of the Psy-
trines are enunciated, and the play of
passion and motive behind the action,
most carefully unveiled. We follow the
men and women through his pages with
the liveliest inter est, but we note as both
new and interesting some views of Dir.
Jorman, who plays in the title role.
Says he -:
WELL" was the reply, from one
point of view, wickedness is identical
with jackassism. That is the view that
Solomon was apt to take-what the
writer had in mind when he said the
Lord had no pleasure in fools Now
what is the difference between the man
who is practically wise and the man who
is practically foolish? Why, the wise
man fixes his aims on remote objects
which have q more or less permanent
value, and, for the cake Of securing them
he undergoes self. denial and arduous
toll, while the fool cuts loose from all
remote and permanent benefits for the
sake of immediate or speedy gratifica-
tions. If / had time / could show you
how the conviction, that personal excel
lence is a paramount good, and that per-
sonal badness is the huxes of all evils,
inevitably takes possession of every HUI
man intellect and becomes indestrucrible
there. But ten thousand chances for
speedy qualification present themselves
to our view, and we are such COMPOUNDED
fools, and in such n hurry t. be enjoying
that we go for them at the
expense Of personal characters. That is
the long and short of desperate wicked
ness"
And as to the feeling against the South.
Mr.. JOrman says:
The trouble is that when we hate a
class of men it il the easiest thing in the
world to make out "A case against them.
We pick out this and that particular from
their circumstances, and shut out of
sight all particulars having an opposite
tendency, and thus make it appear that
debasing forces are at work
without restraint. There has been a
great deal of that. Hatred of the slave
