rates in this state to ~ cents per mile on
roads that have been allowed to charge only
from to cents during the past four months
Commenting ON this ruling The News Herald
says; This action of the commission will go
far toward restoring confidence in railroad
ing in Florida, as well as in the wisdom and
fairness of the commission. No agency has
done one-tenth as much as to build up to
Florida as railroads have, and the future of
the state depends more on the prosperity and
extension Of our railroad systems than AL
other agencies combined. There can be no

"Tben, agnin, what has he done to indicate
that he wanted denominations He has not
made "A single appointment over which his

one-I will except Tilden's friends There
was n sort Of Tilden legacy left to Cleveland
and he took care OF il, but, aside from that,
mention single appointment that was made
for any political reason"
"Out in my state, for example, we have an
illustration of what am talking about. A
Democratic congressman, who is strong in
the faith, addressed letters to every post
master in the state who holds commission
under President Cleveland, in which the Off
cial was asked to send the names of leading
Democrats of his section to Washington in
order that political pahulum for missionary
work might he forwarded, That congress
man told me himself that he had not received
single reply to his request Now, when a

it shows that he has not had any political
pointers aud that he was not put in Office to
work up a denomination. PustmasLcrs are

and then he asked: "Why wouldn't Joe Nc
Donald come next"

Gated humor
Mr.. Morton then mentioned some new
issues which would enliven presidential

yet undertaken to manipulate IA railroad that
it hadn't shown its incapacity Another
issue that would infuse life into campaign
would he that the government should for
ever keep its hands off telegraph matters
1t should bc pledged to this. In fact, he
would go so far as to say that the govern
ment ought not touch the mails. They
should be in the hands Of individuals. 1t
was fact that wherever mails were handled
by individuals the service was better than
given by the government. The mining
camps had better service from Wells, Fargo
