WINTER TOURIST TRAVEL.
It's Advantages TO Florida Louisiana Would Like
to Share It.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
The Florida winter season is not yet
over, but that State has already re-
ceived and cared for 10000 Northern
tourists and taken in $6,000,000. This
is a handsome bonus: nearly three times
the size of the cotton crop of the State.
and much more than its fruit crop
which has latterly grown to be its most
important industry. Nor is the benefit
to be estimated merely in dollars and
cents. OF the thousands of tourists who
come to Florida each winter, a consider
able number make their home there and
invest tht ir capital, while this travel has
blessed the State with fine hotels, mag
nificent railroads and increased mail SER
vice. A vestibule train now runs through
from New York to Jacksonville to ac-
commodate these winter visitors: fast
mail enables the Floridian to get the
New York papers ahead of the most
western sections of the South; and not
in one, but in hundred ways, Florida is
benefited by this tourist travel.
Cannot the people of the Gulf Coast
do something of this kind? 1t is not de
MED that the coast between here and Mo
bile offers every advantage that Florida
possesses, IN addition to its nearness to
great city like New Orleans. The coun-
try is as pretty, the scenery as pictur-
esque, the climate as good, the pleasures
as numerous. We have not the same
hotels, 1T is true, but Florida started out
with slender accommodations in this
line. and has built itself up with time.
The special advantage that the fiowery
State possesses over the Gulf Coast Is the
fact that it is nearer to New York and
New England. whose millionaires sup
port the splendid hotels at San Angus
tine, Jacksonville and Palatka. On the
other hand, our Gulf coast is nearer to
the West and ought to get the winter
travel from Chicago, st. Louis and all
the Western cities. The severity of the
present cold season in that section will
doubtless start a considerable move
ment South next winter. Let the peo-
pie of the Gulf coast take some steps to
get this travel here, and to properly care
for and receive it. They may not once
get all the business now enriching and
building up Florida, but thep can get a
good start. and the attractions of the
country viii soon build it up into the
same proportions as Florlda's winter
tourist travel. The Gulf coast of Mis-
sissippi and Alabama ought to be to the
Western what Florida in winter is to
the Eastern States.

SUSPEND JUDGMENT,

The death of Charles A. Walter yester-
day, was one of those unfortuaate affairs
in which the public should suspend ITS
Judgment. Where the reputation of a
professional man is at stake il is only
justice to wait for the facts. Such of
the facts as could be learned yesterday
are given in our columns, but the most
important parts % the story hang upon
matters in which medical experts are
the best judges.
1t is due to the public and to DIR.

Mr.. Dougherty and the Newspapers

Had it not been for the aid Mr.. Dough
erty received from friendly newspapers
he would not to-day occupy a seat in

Democratic party is big enough 10 ar
ray himself against the newspapers and
be successful in assaulting them. We
therefore regret that under airy circum

placed himself on record as being OPP

Dougherty must have spoken without
reflection, for he cannot be ignorant of
the fact that any serious talk about Con-

With climate in which the warmth

THE 0CKLAWAHA,
By RACHEL wEEMs.

In wondrous phantom country.
Where the gray robed speetres dwell.
Bound in solitude and silence
Under some old genii's spell;
Where they trail their airy letters
Veirdly Reckoning for aid,
There the winding 0ck lawaha
Courses through the ashy shade.
There the crested ancient palm trees
Bear alOft their plunes of green.
Rising from the mnrky shadows
I'LL their claim 10 rank is seen.
Where is growing the palmetto,
With its TIN ming coat of spears
There the tender vine Is clinging
With the trust that friendship dares.
Here it seems as if the river
In the woods has lost its way,
Frightened by the signing figures
In their waving vestments gray.
Or il seems that some grim monster,
King of all the weaving race,
Has this land thus Shared and captured
la web of rarest grace.
Or perchance from polar regions
In this country of the sun,
Jack Frost has in merry nlaking
This imitation frost work spun.
Or perhaps some great glass worker
From a world we do not know,
Has these cypress forests festooned,
A most magic art to show.
Where the silver spring is rising
From vast depths, and crystal clear,
Here the earth brings forth rival
OF the sun-iit atmosphere.
As the silver moon in searching
Finds a e0mrade here ON earth.
So through eyes do urer spirits
Meet, and know each Others worth.
OH it is fairy dreamland
Where the crooked river flows;
Where the shores are lined with lilies,
And the silyered gray moss grows.
Where the fisher birds are diving
(Brayest of brave birds are they,
Through the phantom forest calling,
As the river hastes away.

THE PRESIDENT COMING.


The President win be here to-day with
his wife, and other distinguished guests.
He will hold a reception in the parlors
Of the Putnam House, tonight, from 3
to II o'clock. There is but little time to
make preparations for his visit. What
is done must be done to-day.
The Putnam House, which is to re-
ceive our honored guest, win be profusely
decorated with flowers. All our citizens
who cultivate flowers are asked to assist
in making the room in which the Presi-
dent will meet the people bower of
roses. Other flowers will be welcome.

sweet scented violet and other beauties
of the garden.
The streets should be carefully cleaned
to-day, especially those IN the lower part
Of the city and all of Lemon street

Our merchants are earnestly requested
to remove all boxes and other obstrnc-
tons from the streets and sidewalks
before nightfall in order that all the
streets shall look tidy.
Every one who has flag should dis
play it tonight Even if the night is
dark it will have some effect. While nc
steps have been taken toward an illu
mination every one should help to make
the city bright by making light his house
aud his store. if he keeps one.
This is the first time that Palatka has
been visited by an actual President OF
the United States. She should show in
all ways that she is sensible of the honor
and that she is glad TO see her distin
guished guests, the President and his
wife. Freemen honor themselves in hon
oring the Chief Magistrate. Their pride
is their free institutions is best displayed
by their sense of the distinction which
surrounds the chief office in the land
In almost every other country
of the globe men are ruled by those
whom they had no voice in placing ovei
them, by those who reign not because Of
their own merit but by reason of the ac
cident of birth. In America we are gov
erned by the man of our choice, the mar
whom millions of Americans have cho
sen as worthy to hold the high office OF
the executive of the peoples will. He
who thus represents the power and glory
of free people should be honored by
every worthy means wherever he goes
in the land over the government OF
which he presides.
His fair wife, the first lady of the
land, has secured the affections of the
people as no other woman ever did be
fore in the history of the country.
Thousands flock to railroad stations
where they will pass and attend their
public receptions to see the fair young
wife whose womanliness has made hel
universally admired, whose true Ameri-
can spirit has caused her to be loved by
all the people as representative of the
womanhood of America as her husband
is of its manhood.
1t is in this spirit that the Presidential
party will be received tonight not only
by the Palatkans but also by the hun
dreds who viii flock to the city to-day
Let all our citizens prepare during the
day to make it manifest by all outward
signs that they do so honor them and in
that spirit do welcome them.
