FOR PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE

The many friends OF Captain Patrick
Houstoun, State Senator-elect from Leon
county, think he is we'll qualified for
President of the Senate. Capt. Houstoun
is eminently qualified for the responsible
position, and worthy and deserving of the
high honor. Aside from these considera-
tions, the election of Capt. Houstoun as
President of the Senate would be Just
recognition of the grand fight, in which he
bore an honorable part, made by the De-
mocracy of Leon county in the late cam
paign, and which resulted in placing Old
Leon in the list of Democratic counties, as
the Banner County, in fact, she having
largely increased her vote and rolled up
the largest majority of any county in the
State for the entire Democratic ticket.

Chairman Springer, of the Committee
on Territories, is one of the Democrats
who hope to read in the Presidents mes
sage Il recommendation that the bill to
enable Dakota, Montana, New Mexico
and Washington to be admitted as States
be passed at this session of Congress.
He has much hope that both the House
and Senate would pass the bill, but it Is
thought that the Republican members
would oppose it so that they may have
the honor of putting it through at the
next session.
Congress reassembled yesterday.

SMART BOYS.
Their Minds Developed and their
ElanLs made Skillful at the stale
Agricultural College.

Prot. F. L. Kern, President of Florida
Agricultural College, was pleasant and
welcome caller at the FLoRIDIAN sanctum
Wednesday. He had with him some
specimens of work done by boys of the
college, some of which were as nicely
done as if turned out by skilled mechan-
ic-, with years of experience. These
specimens consisted of joints, spices,
mortses, ETC., all of which were made
from drawings, and without any other
patterns. Among the specimens were
some joints OR SO intended to be-which
were made before receiving instructions,
and then joints made by the same bows
few weeks later. The difference between
the two was wonderful, and no doubt the
boys would like very much to destroy
their first attempt. We saw in this col
lection pin spices and joints, made by
boys who had only been handling tools
for few weeks, that were far ahead of
some SO called journeymen carpenters
work.
The object of the workshop, in connec-
ton with the college, is not SO much the
turning out of skilled mechanics as it is
to improve the minds of the boys and de-
velop their natural ingenuity. Boating,
base ball and other outdoor games and
pastime are we'll enough in their way,
and help to make school boys muscular,
but how much better it is to instill into
the young mind valuable mechanical
knowledge, which will serve them in the
years to come, when they have to battle
with the world.
Prof. Kern tells us that his boys take a
great interest in the workshop. and that
the making of models, joints and spices
is considered by them the very best kind
of play.
Under its present management, the
State College is proving a splendid sue
cess, and we are all proud of it. There
is now no need of sending our boys out
of the State to give them real excellent
educations-they can receive the best at
Florida Agricultural College.

State Board, to either prevent the intro
duction or spread of yellow fever. A
State Board could spend big pile of
money without accomplishing any more
than the local boards would do of their
OWL voltion, or ander the direction of
State Sugeon General.
With the present health law, providing
for local boards of health, with ample
power to protect The people and commu-
mites by establishing and enforcing sani-
tary and quarantine regulations, we fail
to see the necessity for State Board Of
Health, especially with said board re-
sponsible to nobody for their actions An
autocratc body to ride rough-shod over
the people and their rights in perilous
times, and being paid by the people to do
this, and worse-squander their money.
We might have State Surgeon General,
with not too much power-as a general
supervisor and adviser The right of self
protection is inherent with the people,
and they will never-in seasons of great
peril, at least-surrender that right, as has
been evidenced in more than one instance
the past summer
If proper sanitation and local boards
of health cannot prevent the spread OF
yellow fever-if local board, backed by
the people of community, will not put
and keep their town in proper sanitary
condition, and provide ample quarantine
to insure immunity from infection, what
service would State Board be to them !?
They would want to mob State Board
that would presume to investigate their
sanitary condition or look into their quar-
antine matters; and, if anybody in Flor.
ida needed a State Board, such COM
munity certainly would. In fact they
would want such a board-not to inter.
fere with them in their fancied security.
however, but to look after other commu
nities-just over yonder-in the next or
some other county.
AS to the handling of epidemcs, no
community or State should be expected
to bear the burden of a scourge like the
one that has visited Florida this year
Congress should provide an epidemic
fund, and, as much as we believe in State
rights, we are willing that the govern
ment should manage the epidemic and
disburse the fund.
Further, the general government
shonld see that no infection or contagion
is imported into our borders. Infection
has been brought into our State. 1t is
national disaster, and the government is
the power to prevent it's further spread
to eradicate it, and to see that it is not
again imported into our country.
