Among the number who have been
mentioned as probable candidates for the
nomination for Congress from the First
District, we notice the nan c of Gen. Sc
bring. Gen. Sebring is well and favora-
bly, known throughout the State as a man
of energy and ability, and we believe it
is no disparagement to others to say
that he stands second to no man in the
State in devising ways and means for the
advancement of the peoples interests.
While it may not be becoming in us, as
an outsider, to suggest to the Democrats
of the First District who they should
nominate, we are quite sure We hazard
nothing by saying that should Gen. Sc
bring be honored with the nomination
the people would find in him an able ex-
ponent of their interests. He is Demo-
crat Of liberal and enlightened views, and
would make an able, honest, conscientious
public servant Gainesville Daily Ne,cs.
The New York Star says fifteen hun
dred iron and steel workers in Philadel-
phia have thrown down their tools and
struck for fairer wages. The manufactur-
ers say they will not give in, and there
are prospects of a long strike. Yet this
is in Pennsylvania where the wage-earners
are working under the supposed blessings
of protection. How does such state Of
things come about if protection really
protects =? There must be something
wrong about the premise of the argu-
ment that it does, and there is.-Raleigh

Prohibition in Iowa is having hard
road to travel. Some time ago the Cir
cult Court of the United States in that
State decided that breweries in existence
when the prohibition law was passed
could not be stopped without compenss'
ton to their owners; and now We hear
of another ruling by the same scourt, that
drinking saloons are likewise entitled TO
protection. They are property which
cannot be rendered useless without com.
pensation.
1t is suggested by somebody that o
man who is attacked by John A.. Logan
must feel like the old woman who was
found weeping bitterly because her hus-
band had eft into the Seminole war with
Johnsing, fit the Britishers with Jacksing
and done the greasers with Zachary Tsy-
lor, and then come home to be butt to
death by billy goat"

Our State Superintendent thought 1t would
add interest and be of benefit TO al concerned to
have Governor Perry visit the Teacher Insti-
tute in session at this place, and Civ an express
sion of his sympathy with the work. In order
that the citizens in the country around might
have notice, telegram was sent from Tallahas-
see on Thursday announcing that the Governor
would be here on Friday, the 9th instant, and
address the Institute at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
At the appointed hour q large audience, con-
sisting of school officers, teachers and citizens,
assembled in the newly erected Methodist
Church.
His Excellency having been introduced by
Hon. A. j. Russell, proceeded TO discuss our
educational status, commanding, for about forty
minutes, the attention, of all present by his
clear, forcible and earnest statements.
One could see on the faces around that it was
refreshing and re-assurng to our citizens to have
an officer OF State manifest an interest in what
concerns the welfare of the people. Public Of
ficials usually concern themselves only about
what affects their pockets and positions, but
here was an instance of something altogether
different. The schools belong to the people and
are an important interest to them, and he who
evinces spirit Of encouragement and sympathy
in them shows himself to be otherwise than
merely selfish.
We will not attempt to report the Governors
remarks, but will state that what he said upon
the pending Blair bill was striking and well
pressed, presenting it as he did in entirely
new light
He spoke in high praise of the efforts of the
people Of Florida in behalf of public education
and assured those present that he esteemed the
schools one of the greatest interests which it is
his province to foster and advance
The Teachers Institute here is well attended,
and the teachers show great interest in the work
The session will continue through another week

even With his declaration thst he held as
firmly AZ ever 10 belief in the truth and
inspiration OF the scriptures and the
tenets Of the church. In some quarters
II Is said, there is disposition on
the part Of Presbyterians TO pass
over his utterances and allow him
TO keep bis place as minister In
good standing in the Presbyterian church
Tits, however, would be virtually beg
ging the question, and such result is
hardly probable. The Presbyterian
church, while not so antagonistlc as some
other denominations, Is decidedly dog
matte and unyielding, within It's own
lines, as TO matters Of conscience and re-
ligion. 1t has yielded hardly an inch Of
ground to what are known as the "scien-
tidc" influences Of the times, and holds
tenaciously TO the declarations Of its
earlier history. Here and there con-
gregatIon will be found where little
softening Of apparently rigid doctrines
has crept in, but this is not general, and
when called on, as was the case at Mont
gomery, for an explicit declaration Of be-
lief, the church reiterated the primitive
article Of faith. To be consistent 1t

THE seventh of September will be
labor's day throughout the United States.
Everywhere the labor organizations are
preparing for jubilee and demons,ra-
ton that will eclipse all previous events
OF that nature. In Texas the celebration
viii be very general. Pure and simple, the
explanation OF tn movement is that the
labor element desires to have one day of
jubilee IN recognition OF the victories
won by the,wage- during the last
decade. Another object is to present TO
the country calm, authorized, intelllgent
statement OF what is desired and contem-
plated by labor--its aspirations for the
future. The movement is laudablc and
proper, and If the true represe natives OF
labor are permitted to control and speak
for themselves, the cause will be dlgnlaed
and benefited There is no antagonism
ON the part of society, as constituted in
this country, to the aspirations OF labor.
On the contrary, all Thoughtful people
Will rejoice at every upward step made
by the wage-worker, All that society
asks OF labor is that It shall work by
methods which are orderly and sanctioned
by the laws OF the country.

The sending OF special agent from
this country TO Mexico to inquire into the
exact facts as to the Cutting case, which
Is done at the request Of the Mexican
government, will doubtless open way
TO the speedy settlement of the difficulty.
1t will show, first of all, that Mexico orig
inally proceeded against Cutting for an
offense committed in Texas, when Il
might, with quite as much ease, have
tried him for u crime committed within
its own domain; and, In the next place,
| il will result In the official publication OF
the fact that since the opening Of the
controversy Mexico has changed front
and is now proceeding on the assumption
that the crime was committed south of
] the Rio Grande. When these facts have
been made clear nothing will remain for
| this government to do but to satisfy itself
that Cutting did violate Mexican law, as
Is charged, and in that event the question
will disappear from the realm Of interna-
tional negotiation.
Much as the attitude of Secretary
Bayard has been mlsrepresented and mis-
understood, his course relative to Cutting
mas already had the effect of compelling
the Mexican authorities TO abandon the
claim that they could punish men for of
lenses committed in Texas. When Cut
ting WIS arrested no claim was made that
he had been guilty of crime in Mexico,
and at the first interview which Mr.,
Bayard had with the Mexican minister the
latter ergued at great length In support
OF the idea that his country had right to
claim jurisdiction over offenses against
It's citizens in foreign countries. II was
this assumption which Mr.. Bayard COM
bated, and it was only when Mexico
changed its attitude and undertook to
place him In false light that he was sub
jected to the ill-informed criticism of the
opposition press.
Instead Of being worsted in this en-
counter Mr.. Bayard already has the best
OF II. When the controversy opened
Mexico claimed the right to punish Cut
ting for his offense in Texas. Now 1t is
strenuously insisting that IL is Furnishing
him for his crime In Mexico, thus putting
an entirely new phase on the question,
and 1t has urged Mra Bayard to send an
agent TO the border to satisfy himself of
the truth OF the story. AS no one now
doubts that Cutting deserves punishment
Tor his operations in Mexico, and as the
Mexican government no longer pretends
to be Furnishing him for his doings in Tex.
as, there seems to be no reason why the
case should not soon be dropped, the one
point for which Mr.. Bayard has contend
ed having been conceded by the Mex.
cans. Concerning the other cases, how
ever, there is yet need of searching in
vestigation.

lT may sound queer to our prohibition
friends to hear that In Maine, where the
liquor traffic has been under the ban of
the law 30 long, prohibition is growing to
the dignity Of an tissue" SO true is this
that that shrewd politician, Brother
Blaine, has concluded 1t is about time for
him to come off the fence and let the peo-
pie of Maine and the country know how
he stands on the liquor question. In the
retirement of his cool retreat at Bar Har.
Dor Mr., Blaine is said to be at work on a
speech that will plant him squarely in the
prohibition camp, 1t is an astonishing
TACT that for more than quarter of cen.
fury Blaine has managed to be the leader
OF the Republican party In Maine without
ever committing himself as to the LIQUOR
traffic, and this too In a state where pro-
hibitton prevailed, theoretically II not
practically. The incident serves to show
how little of an issue prohibition must
have been all this time in the state that IL
held up as bright and shining example
OF all that is possible under the non.
license system.
