Greeley.

There Is a statement III one of the
Jacksonville papers to the effect that Mr..
Greeley, the Republican candidate for
Congress in this district, will not make
a canvass at all, but simply give his at
tention to securing full registration of
the Republican voters o. the district.
There will, no doubt, be speeches from
Republicans during the canvass, but
none from Mr.. Greeley. This is carry
ing out the original programme. 1t is
the Florida Savings Bank, of which Mr..
6. is the president, that is running for
Congress, and not Greeley.
Mr. G. furnishes the stamps, and the
"other fellows work up the votes. MIR.
Greeley has got a deep purse and can
stand " heap" of pressure in this direc-
tion. We would advise all our colored
friends to apply early. Mr.. G.. can not
promise Offices, as his party has none to
give, and must put up the money.
Our advice to Mr.. Greeley is to keep
his money and improve his real estate
it will simply bc useless waste to squan-
| der il in the effort to elect himself TO
Congress. Mr.. Dougherty, as any one
can easily see, is going to have a
| walk over"
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-09-14

We find that the citizens of Palatka
are waking up to the fact that thor
ouch system of sewers must be built.
No one denies the need of good city
drainage, and every taxpayer knows
that good system of sewers means a
largely increased value of real estate.
TNE NEWS pan, of assessing all prop
erty abutting on the sewers, for portion
of the expense, is both feasible and
right. We have looked into the matter
so thoroughly, and have consulted such
authorities. that we are enabled to give
an idea of the time in which a system,
such as we spoke of Saturday, could be
completed.
If we can arrange so as to begin work
the first of November we can have an eff
cient line OF sewers in operation in four
months time. This is probably SO me-
what surprising to our readers, but we
are convinced that it can be done within
that time, ard done in first class shape.
Now is the time to grapple with the
subject, and we can see no reason for
any delay in the matter. a complete
system Of sewers will increase the valu-
alton of this city at least fifty per cent.

The Same in This County.

The Orange Ridge Echo, Cf the 18th
inst. contains an excellent article on the
subject of harmony, III Volusia county,
among democrats, which we have read
with Great interest and trust the sugges-
tions made by the able editor will be
needed by the Democrats of that county
In the course of the argument we find a
paragraph that applies to this county
with equal force. II would be mistake
to send a Republican to the Senate from
this county. 1t would be of no benefit
to the county and might result in much
harm. At the very best it could only be
a brief triumph for the Republicans. \
Republican Senator would be without
influence in tie Senate chamber and
Putnam would he practically without
representation. Instead of taking a
proud stand with the leading counties of
the State, we would occupy no position
at all. The Echo on this point is SO
| clearly correct that we cannot see how it
| is possible to escape the conclusion given.
Ii we desire To command influence at
Tallahassee we must elect Senator Me
Meekin. lie is in sympathy with the
State administration ana the party that
will toe in the majority in the Lecisla-
| ture. The Echo SAYS:
The question of returning a Dem.
ocrat from this county TO the next Legis-
lature Is paramount. Party pride
which to great extent is the spur that
stimulates the electors-is an insignifi-
cant item when compared with the more
vital points. The Legislature of the
State Ia overwhelmingly Democratic,
and for the advancement of the varied
interests of our county it is necessary
for us to have representative in the
| Legislative halls who can obtain the coun.
| tenabce and support of his co-laborers.
\ republican in a body composed al
most entirely of Democrats could do
very little towards procuring for our
county the desired legislation

MIR. ConkIinc and His Practice.

Mr.. ConklinS pays no attention to politics.
He rarely convcISes on political topics with
even his most intimate friends. His thoughts

fortune. He is the pink OF neatneSs, but he

Not at all Like Putnam.

We learn something about school
matters in NoliIsia county from the En-
terprise Herald of the 18th inst, that Is
interesting. We find that all over Flor
ida a very great interest is being man
Tested in public schools. Nolusia schools
get instead of D mills this year. This
increases the per capita from $40 to S12.
The assessed valuation of property in
1885 was S3,026, 541, this year it is
S3,4Ss,22 showing an increase of
nearly a half million of dollars.
But the Interpretation of the law and
the action of the School Board and COM
niissiouers is different III all other coun-
ties from Putnam. Here we have no
law for erecting school houses at the
cost of the general fund-in other
counties it is exactly the opposite. The
school term in Volusia this year will be
about six months. Ana right among
the reported proceedings of the School
Board. we found the following:
Two fine school buildings are in pro-
cess of construction. one at DeLeon
Sarings and one at New Smyrna, valued
at 81, 500 each.
The plan in this county is to let each
school district build its own school
house; vet the one of erecting houses at
the county's cost in other counties seems
to work quite as well. Indeed, as far as
we can see, counties where this plan
is followed, school houses are being
built much more rapidly than in our
own.

An Erroneous Impression.

The Tumor has obtained currency in
the county that the trial of Henry Wig
gins for the murder of Porter, has already
cost the county 81 400. We were of the
number who believed that the state ment
was correct. But, on inquiry of the
States Attorney, we find that there is no
ground for such impression. Young
Virgins trial has not cost the county
a dollar. The county has nothing to do
with the expenses in criminal trials; the
State pays all such expenses out of the
general fund. In 1885 the State paid for
Putnam county, 81 1890 for jurors and
witnesses expenses. Putnam county has
paid for the daily food given to Virgins.
and that is all the expense it has incur
red in his case. The expense OF his trial
will be paid for by the State, and instead
of it amounting to 81 400, it will not
probably exceed To date 800. The eX-
pense in his case will be greater than in
some other similar cases, as the witnesses
for the defence as well as for the prose
cution will both be ,.aid 10y the State, as
