One of the triumphs of Photographic
art was achieved in the taking of pic
lures during the naval drill off Pensacola
last week, when ships of war in action
were captured by the instrument as they
rushed through the open sea. Not only
were negatives obtained Of the move
ments and man9uvres of the feet, but
the bursting of shells in mid-air, and the
ricocheting of the solid shot on the sur
face of the water, were actually caught
and retained by the skill of the photog-
rapher. So sensitive were the plates en-
ployed and 80 instantaneous the exposure
that small drop curtain and spring
trigger had TO be used, whereby the ope-
rator taking aim shot photographically at
the ships while they were shooting other
wise and with better average snocess in
hitting the mark. These negatives Of the
navsl drill viii be made into stsrsoptioon
trsnspassncies and exhibited greatly en-

The accomplished correspondent OF the
FLoR1D1AN elsewhere gives an account of
some of the exercises of the naval
drill off Pensacola. The feet is now in
the bay, and the thunders of the cannon
reverberate from the same historic shores
that during two centuries often sent back
the echoes of French. and Spanish, Eng
lish and American guns. That spacious
harbor was the noble prize for which ma
tions strove, and sent their fleets across
the ocean to capture or to hold. French
men, Spaniards, Britons, all thought it
was worth fighting for, and later Jack
sons Americans-and latest, the soldiers
of the Union and the Confederacy strug-
gled for it's possession. The harbor is
now worth more than ever, and upon its
margin, far overlapping the site of the
city built by Spaniards, Frenchmen and
Englishmen, is beautiful and flourishing
American city with destiny of prosper
ity guaranteed by that harbor-the best
gateway of commerce that opens on hun
dreds of miles of coast.
Many from this section have visited
Pensacola during the drill, and there
is yet time for others 70 go and see what
is novel and interesting. The fleet will
remain in harbor for two weeks longer it
is thought, force of sailors and marines
encamping ashore during the time. 1t is
stated that a sham battle on land will be
fought next Saturday or Monday. 1t
will repay those who have never been
aboard of large man-of-war to make the
trip to Pensacola to do so-and some of
them may feel with the enthused poet
who wrote
"Who would not dare the battles fire, the wreck,
To reign the mouarch of her peopled deck"
if that is correctly quoted.

Santa Rosa County.

The Milton Nesos of the 1Otl, publishes
a well written and interesting descrip-
ton of the county ofSanta Rosa, which is
one of the most attractive portions of the
State of Florida, and is destined to furnish
homes to a population many times the
present number. Convenient of approach,
large in area, traversed by several navi-
gable water courses and many smaller
streams, it abounds with localities to suit
varied tastes as to home surroundings,
and affords choice of many occupations.
On its salt water shore lines of at least
seventy miles are many sites as well
adapted for winter resorts as numbers
where hotels have been built in other
parts Of the State, and all within easy
reach of the dourishing city of Pensacola.
In all parts of the county frequent bodies
of fertile land are to be found, and the
climate is noted for salubrity and equa-
bility. As convenient to western inn
migration as the Atlantic counties are to
eastern, the future of Santa Rosa as to
wealth and populousness is assured.

Home rule for Ireland, which has found
it, ablest champion in Mr.. Gladstone, the
cold man eloquent" will eventually be
secured, and thus another blow be struck
ct the centralized power of the British
government. So we have it tina. while in
the United Kingdom the political ten
dency 10 toward decentralization, in the
United States it is toward Capitalization
"A tendency which the democratic party
Is constantly in action to repress. The
drift there is from imperialism to republic
canism-here, from republicanism to i'm
perialism. OF course we will never get
there. but the republic may be dismem-
bered in the struggle to avoid it-and
that before the United Kingdom attains
the republican destiny which the future
holds in store for it.
The battle of Ireland is for home govern
ment that will give the island political
condition approximating that of the
Dominion of Canada. The Dominion is
"the next thing" to republic-politi-
cally as we'll as geographically-and pos
sibly the day may not be very far distant
when many citizens of the republic that
she is :" next to" will think that Cana
dams are better off politically than they
are. Certainly many of us thought 30
within the quarter Of century past, and
may think so again if Jim Blaine radical
ism gets possession of the government
with legislative backing enough TO again
clothe federal authority with imperial
powers. Ireland never had more occasion
to desire home rule than had some States
of the South during the reconstruction
era, but she has been prevented from
armed rebellion only by armed occupa-
tion of her territory, and will eventually
gain her rights by peaceable methods II
bloodless battles in the halls OF
legislation thus arbitrate grievous
differences between monarchical
government and a province, it may
be hoped that for long time to come
they will avail to adjust troubles between
states of republic and its central govern
ment

Grand Master Workman Powderiy Ger
tainly TALK we'll, and disclaims responsi-
bility for various bad strikes and outrages
- being violations Of therules of his order.
But - they were perpetrated by members
Of the order, the order is responsible and
Mr.. Powderly with it. His disclaimer is
confession that the order is as yet an
unmanageable, unruly, dangerous ma
chine-that he has raised spirits that he
cannot lay, that will not down at his
bidding. His protests save his repute
personally, and that of so many of the
order as have not misbehaved and who
may announce their endorsement of. his
utterances.
The bloody experiences of the order in
its earlier practical operations may prove
the dearly bought lie. son that will suffice
to make it efficient for the worthy ends
which were the objects of its organiza-
ton. If it will act as wisely as Mr..
Powderly talks, it will be great and be-
neficent power in the land, but in that
very power will lie such danger of abuse
as may scarcely be avoided. If it be
controlled by one man, it will be power
which should not exist in a republican
country; if it be in the hands of num-
Der at different points, it will cease to ex-
ercise systematic authority, and the
actions of its parts will depend on local
emergencies rather than be controlled by
the rules of grand organization and in
structions issued from a central head
quarters. In short, the perpetuation OF
the order as power for good depends on
it's keeping together, always having such
a man as Powderly apparently is at its
head, and on that man being implicitly
obeyed. 1t is hardly possible that these
conditions will exist for a long period OF
time, and It's end will be near when the
order feels greater than law, or proceeds
as if capital had no rights which labor is
bound to respect.

: The Key.West Calamity.

The records of fires in the United
States since the war show none so disas
trous as that which desolated Key West.
There have been others in which there
was far greater destruction of property
than in this with it's estimated loss of a
million and half or two million dollars;
but this fire was exceptional in the mat
ter of the losses falling almost en-
tirely on owners, many of whom were ut
terly ruined. There is no large fund of
insurance money to come into the COM
mnnity, aid the work of reconstruction,
give employment to the people, and cheer
the hearts of thousands who must sit
helpless and needy amid the ashes of
their lost homes until helping hands re-
lieve them there or remove them to places
where they can help themselves. Desc
lation broods over the isolated but once
fiourishing community, which was made
prosperous by the. enterprise of leading
citizens and the industry of the working
class. Now employers and employees
share common disaster, and these must
need while those are re-establishing
themselves, if they have saved enough
from their wrecked fortunes to do so. But
while the treasures of underwriters were
closed to them the afflicted Key Westers
held policies in the generous hearts of the
people abroad, and so much sympathy
money is coming to them from many
places that doubtless none will suffer
from want of necessaries.
The three printing Offices that issued
papers in English-the Democrat, Eqta-
tor and Key Of the G~tf-were burned,
and we have seen nothing in print from
them since the fire except extras of the
Key, which saved little material. The
information contained in these was anti
cipated by kilograms and correspondence.
We hope the press of the Island City"
will soon be at work again to aid her re-
covery, and regain all their own losses.

Tehuan tepec Ship Railway.

The New Orleans Item having inter-
viewed Capt. J. b. Eads as to the posi-
ton of the enterprise and the proposition
now before the Senate Committee, the
following information was obtained:
"The proposition before the Senate Com
mittee has been modified by us and the total Ii
ability of the government under the guarantee
which we ask is limited TO 1850, 000 The
first year the government will be liable for only
$4500,0O0, and the next two years for 81 $780,
600 each year.
"This liability cannot possibly attach until
after the stockholders of the road have built it
themselves without the aid of the government,
and have carried across it. with perfect safety,
loaded ship Weighing 5000 tons. The guaran-
tee only continues on the condition that 1000
ton ship shall be carried over the second year,
and the guarantee will cease and determine af.
ter the second year, unless the road is kept in
such order as to be abYe to convey any ship not
exceeding 1000 tons weight
in consideration for this guarantee the rail-
way company agrees TO carry the coastwise COM
merce of the United States over the railway for
90 per cent less tolls than are paid by any other
nation except Mexico. The saving in this one
item of IS per cent would equal in ten years
about four times the amount OF the total guaran-
tee of the government or to at least $50 600 ,OOO
Besides this advantage to the United States
the amounts that may be paid under the guaran-
tee are TO be repaid TO the government, bonds
being given TO It for the sums advanced, which
are to be repaid whenever the earnings of the
company enable 1t to pay five per cent. dividends;
and If the bonds are not paid before their ma
turity. that IT, In 10 years. they are to be receiva
BILE for tolls with ten per cent addition to their
face value, under the bill reported by the House
Committee
shave always claimed that the total liability
of the government would not really exceed seven
and half million of dollars, and the company
Senate bill to limit absolutely the total liability
Of the government to that sum, and to limit the
duration of the guarantee to the first Ave years
after the completion of the road"
