There will be several new faces in our
next Legislature, which convenes in Talla-
hassee next April. 1t will be a strong,
able and intellectual body, and we may
expect good work and wise laws from
them. The new members are in the main
representative men of their counties,
and men whom we can rely on to repre-
sent the best interests of the whole people.
There is much important work for them
to do, and it is we'll for the press and the
people of the entire State to begin dis
cussing these matters early, that our leg
islators may become faly conversant with
that which will be expected of them. Sew
eral of the existing laws need revising,
and these should be fully discussed and
carefully considered.
One matter requiring Legislation is the
present system of giving in property for
taxation. Something must be done to
equalize the assessment Of real estate,
etc, so that taxation will be proportion
ately the same to all. Florida, as well as
all other Southern States which have not
done so, should separate the State from
the National election. These are all i'm
portant matters, requiring attention from
our next Legislature; but the first and
most important work for them to do, is to
provide in some way for the protection
Of the public health. Whether this can
best be done by State Board Of Health,
or by some othermeans, must be carefully
considered. It might be that a State Sur
County Health Boards, could better and
more effectively protect public health
than a State Board could. We would
like to hear the opinions of the public on
this question
We have never thought that Governor
Perry was to blame for the Board of
Health bill rot passing the Legisa-
ture. He did his duty in the matter
He mentioned it in both Of his annual
urged that some action be taken.
During the last session he was
notified that yellow fever had made
its appearance at Key West, and he i'm
mediately sent his private secretary, Col
onel l.. b. Wombwell, to the legislative
halls to urge upon the members the i'm
portance of passing a health bill of some
kind. If blame must attach for failure to
create State Board of Health it certainly
must attach to the law making body,
DR.. Pelot, of Manatee, introduced the bill,
and he worked hard to have it passed.
Perhaps he is better able than anyone
else to tell why it did not pass, for he was
closely connected with it's movements and
should know why it was opposed. We
would be pleased to hear from DR.. Pelot
on this subject, and think that if he will
he can write quite an interesting article
on the why's and wherefores Of the bill not
passing.
The next Legislature must do some
thing to keep yellow fever out of Florida,
but we are not now prepared to say that
State Board of Health would fill the
bill. AS we see the matter now, it seems
to us that local county boards, under the
direction and advice of an experienced
State rgeon-General, could work to
better purpose, but this is question Tor
the people decide, and we will cheerfully
give space for it's discussion.

lie II Awarded Priority or i"sertiss by
the supreme Court

WAsnISGrOs March -. The Suprems
Court yesterday rendered decisien In
the famous telephOn, cases, sustaining e
Bells claim 20 priority Of invention aud dis
cOYery.
This decision pcrpcruates the present
telephone monopoly. All several applica-
tions for dissolution Of iBiunctiOns obtained
by the Bell Company are refused Dy this
decision.
The opinion OF the Court, prepared by
Chief Justice Waite was read bY Justice
BlatchfOrd
The Court at length described The Inven-
ton Of telephony and in detail explained
the points OF Bells invention, and said that
II he had made the discovery and invention
he was entitled 10 patent
If this makes new discovery ana inycn-
ton different from the first, he Ia entitled
to another patent
II had been claimed when Bell got his
patent that the discovery was not complete
This was true, but the application for q
patent set forth what was proposed to be
done ~ ne patent when perfected
II was enough 10 describe the method
and the way OF putting the discovery In
operation 70 obtain the patent
When Bell got his patent he thought the
magnetic system best, but that did not pre-
vent him from employing other means.
No one before Bell had found out how TO
apply electricity 10 telephone effectively.
The court reviewed the history Of tho
discovery Of the reproduction Of tones OF
the human voice by means OF electricity,
and az length reviewed the claims Of Tho
Ress and Leggctt inventions.
Bell had been the first discoyerer Of tho
method OF apply ng the principles that were
comprchcuded by the others, who, up 10 the
time the patent was issued, had failed 70
hnd tho means 10 employ a..
The difference between the Rciss and the
Bell was the difference between failure and
success The Court reviewed the history Of
the McDOnOugh and Drawbaugh Inventions,
the organization OF the Peoples Company,
and maintained Bells priority Of invention.
Justice Bradley delivered "a dissenting
opinion, Ia which Justices Field aud Har-
lem concur.
Justices Gray and Lamar did not sit ia
the case.
