Reading a Death Warrant. &c.

Last Friday morning we accompanied Sheriff
Pearce, Deputy Hopkins, City Marshal Demilly
and others to tine county jail to hear the death
warrant read to Alex Jones, Dr., sentenced to be
hanged on March 19ih-iour weeks from next
Monday. Before Mr.. Pearce had completed its
reatiing Jones gave evidence that he realized the
serious import OF the solemn duty being per-
formed by the Sheriff in mis- cell, and tears ran
down lis cheeks quite freely.
Jones can read and write, has bible, which be
reads daily, and all ministers wishing to see him
are admitted by order of Sheriff Pearce- Jones
responded promptly to all questions said he was
born at Duncansville, Thomas county Ga, is
about 10 years of age, and weighs nearly two
hund ed pounds His father. who resides in this
county, near the Georgia line, visits him often,
as do two colored ministers of Tallahassee.
Jones is confined in the north cell on the east
side of the jail. In the south cell on the same
side are VIM. Maddox, arrested last month BY
Sheriff Pearce, in this county for murder COM
mtted in Taylor county. IN 1878, and Henry
Mann, awaiting trial for murder of the son Of
Prof Dubois. the former is white and the lat
ter colored.
Four colored men occupy the west cell on the
south side incarcerated for minor offences.
In the northwest cell is confined a colored
woman, implicated in the theft OF jewelry, etc.
from the residence OF Col John a Henderson
We found the jail in first class condition-in
fact we were surprised TO find it so we'll kept.
All tine prisoners said they were well treated by
Mr.. Pearce and always had enough to eat

A letter from Carrabelle under date Of
the 18th says that track laying had com.

were set ablaze on Monday night, and
our correspondent says" Is Carrabelle
the first town town in Middle Florida to
have the progressive illuminatorr If So
make note of it." We do, for Cara,
belle is ahead in this matter. Carrabelle
is going ahead in other matters, also, and
is doubtless destined to be fourishing
seaport. Her harbor can accommodate
the shipping of an extensive foreign com
merce, and she will secure it if she has
suitable rail connections with the int
rior, and these she viii have in due course

and man eventually obeys the edict.

President Cleveland ON TIIden.

The democracy of Brooklyn, n. Y,
celebrated the anniversary Of the birth
day of Samuel J. Tilden OF the 9th by
dinner at the Academy of Music. Among
the speakers were Secretary Villas, Gov
ernor Hoadley and Samuel j. Randall.
Also Governor Hill, who spoke to the
toast "The Empire State" eulogized Til
den and praised Cleveland, amid great
applause.
President Cleveland sent the follow
ing letter-like all writing under his hand
Enthusiastically forcible and graceful:
indulge with the utmost pleasure and salts
faction the belief tina; this invitation is not a
mere formal compliment rendered to me in full
filment Of customary propriety, but that it is an
additional evidence Of the genuine kindness OF
the people and my political friends of Brooklyn
and Kings county. which has more than once
during my public life been heartily manifested
Entertaining this belief know that its expires
sion win make it unnecessary tor me to assure
you that / would gladly accept your invitation
If It were possible am Dot only certain that at
your banquet should be among true and stead
fast fiends but that the occasion and its prevail
ing spirit cannot fail to inspire every participant
with new strength and increased patriotism and
courage.
The birthday of Samuel J. Tilden is ittingiy
celebrated by the Democracy OF Kings county
for he found there in all his efforts TO reform the
public service and to renstate his partyn the con-
fidence OF the American people firm and staunch
friends, never wavering IN their willing and effec-
tive support
Let these friends now remind all their fellow
citizens Of the patriotic and useful career of their
honered and trusted leader, and let every one
protesting his political faith proclaim the value
Of his teachings. He Taught the limitation of
federal power under the Constitution, the absc-
lutte necessity of public economy. the safety OF
sound currency, honesty in public place, the re-
sponsibility OF public servants to the people, care
for those who toll with their hands, proper limi-
tation Of corporate privileges and reform in the
civil service.
His was true democracy. 1t led him to meet
boldly every public issue as 1t arose. With his
conception Of political duty he thought it never
TOO early and never too late to give battle
to vicious doctrines and corrupt practices He
believed that pure and sound democracy -four
ished and grew In open, bold and honest cham
piouahip ct the interests Of the people, and that
h bat 1eebly lived upon deceit, fAlse pretenees
and fear. And he was right His success proved
him right, and proved, too, that the American
people appreciate courageous struggle in their
defence.

virtues and achievements of the illustrious Dem

Mr.. Blaine writes to the chairman of the
National Republican Committee that he
will not be candidate for the presidential
nomination Mr.. B. is one of the shrewd-
est of politicians great rather as q
politician than statesman-and he cor
rectly calculates the result of announcing
his withdrawal from the condition of
chronic candidacy with which he has
so long been afflicted. This result
will be the uprising of small swarm
of aspirants for the vacant nomina-
ton, none with chance of getting it but
each with some following, and they will
proceed to sV1abble and knife each other.
When at the last it becomes "very
pretty quarrel as it stands" the time
will have come and the action be taken
that Mr.. B. foresees The cry of har-
mony" will be raised, and Mr.. B. will
be appealed to to come to the front as
the only man who can save the party
from disruption, and the great pacifcator
will periodically throw himself into the
breach, accepting the nomination entirely
against his wishes, of course. But if Mr..
Blaine should possibly persist in refusing
the nomination it will simply be because
he positively knows he cannot be elected
has no desire to be again pulverized by
the massive whsight of Grover Cleve-

The Jankspnville, TAnra and Ksy

a il might more property be called.
Counsel ars privileged in the use Of
their tongues in advocating the causes of
clients, and perhaps . layman may mot
expresses a opinion - to how aud when
privilege is abused which would be con-
sidered intelligent by professionals.
Therefore we viii not discuss the harsh
personalities which the learned counsel of
the J., T. d Z. ". lavished upon the
gentlemen of the Railroad Commission,
every one of whom is m able and con-
scientiously upright man, but viii remark
that in using them be lacked the discre-
ton which would have served far better
than indulgence of his caustic impulse to
incline popular opinion to favor his cause.
The impression that he sought to make
upon the public mind is voided by ex-
treme positions assumed, however ele-
CANT the rhetoric or erudite the mytho-
logicaland historical illusions which orna-
mented his discourse the fanciful trim
mings added neither strength nor value to
the coarse texture of his argument.
But the principal point of weakness
which effects the failure of his pre-
sumed object, aud it is a point which
alone would justify US in taking up the
matter, is the persistent reiteration of his
charge of the g confscation of Northern
capital p" Northern capital -" North
ern capital "-as though premeditated
and we'll settled plan existed to plumber
Northern capitalists who might invest
among us-to steal it, for he says the
State of Florida had stolen q number of
thousands of dollars from him" Does
he 30 underrate the intelligence of the
people of Florida that he thinks they will
believe there is any such brigandish dis
position on the part of high officials of
the State-or is it his purpose, which we
hesitate to suppose, to have people abroad
believe it? But whether it is his purpose
or not, many will believe it all the same,
seeing it charged within the very walls
of the capitol of the State. SANDER
travels fast and far, and in the garb OF
truth where the contrary is not known.
Timid capital will shun a State where it
is warned there Is danger of its "confsca-
ton but there is something worth more
than capital, the fair fame of our State,
people and democratic officials. This we
would defend, and if in so doing we are
offensive to the gentleman whose course
we criticise he may remember that edi-
tors, like lawyers, are privileged.
P. S.-Since the above was in type we
have learned that the printed copy Of the
argument contains things that were not
said to the Board, and omits things that
were said to it. Much more that it con-
tanned might have been omitted with
profit to its author.

AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT


For some time past the question Of purity in
baking powders has formed quite feature in
newspaper discussions and eminent doctors of
philosophy have given opinion as to the ingredi-
ents which compose many Of the articles sold
under that name. The Investigations have mar
rowed down TO the limit which awards the Roy
al Baking Powder the palm of purity, and sew
eral Of the most distinguished scientists have
testified to their conviction that 10 extraneous
or deleterious matter enters into it's compost
ton. The Royal Baking Powder Company
have achieved a worldwide reputation for the
success which has marked their preparation Of
cream of tartar for baking purposes. II is inds-
putably shown that they have eliminated all ele-
ments OF tartrate OF lime, alum or other impuri-
ties, and present to the public healthful and
chemically pure article. Such widely known
chemists as Henry Morton, E. 6. Love. H. A.
Mott, VIM. McMurtrie and others have verified
Its superiority over other manufactures, and
testified, through practical experience, TO its ex
cellence. 1t Is well for families to observe
the fact tina; it costs more to manuiac-
tare the Royal Baking Powder than any other,
but ii Is, as shown by chemical analyss, the only
absolutely pure baking powder made

NEWPORT FLA, February 8, 1888.
I Editors FIoridian. Old Newport is. beginning
to resuscitate and the way Arbor Day was gone
into might serve as an example for more popu-
lous places The people, one and all, turned out
with q will, planted a large number of trees of
different varieties, and named many of them af.
ter the old and much respected departed citi-
Gems, such as the late Mr.. Ladd, Chas. Beecher,
and others. Much time was spent in embellish-
ing the church grounds and other needed i'm
provements, and may add, the most energetic
worker was our townsman, JOS. Ladd who has al
50 done good service to this place in getting q
portion of what of right belonged to Newport in
the shape of school money from the School Board
at Crawfordvlle.
Weather has been remarkably fine, and the
