The story that the democratic national
committee is behind with its work seems to
be a fabrication of the enemy. The New
York Star asserts that the committee is
nearly a month ahead of any previous cont
mittee in its work. and that Col. Brice, in
stead of failing to grasp the situation, has
shown peculiar aptitude for his duties
On the other hand, says the Star the re-
publican committee is far from being up

There are some twenty or more people
now sick, one or two of whom are seriously

The fever is beginning to spread among
the colored people. Nearly all the whites
have had it.
More than half the people have left town
and are staying IN the country Those who
remain are nearly all in a destitute con-
dition
The city has to feed daily 200 destitute
people.
The town is now with no funds in the
treasury. All Cnere Is 10 depend on aDSO-
lutely is what help is obtained from gener-
GUS public.
The situation is appalling. No business
is going on, and but few able to work. The
people are shut in by quarantine, as in
prison, with no means Of going to the gov
eminent refugee camp. Some money has
been sent here-some direct and some
through Jacksonville. That sent direct
has been promptly received, but that
sent through Jacksonville has been
delayed in some instances to the disadvan-
tage of the people here. jacksonville has
sent out some money and groceries. There
are plenty of nurses and doctors here.

Aid from any source will prove godsend
to the community. All contributions should
be sent direct to the mayor and not through

A THREADBARE SUBJECT.
The Senate Still De elinR with the
Annual MessaQe


WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Mr. Daniel adj
dressed the Senate to-day on the resolution
to refer the Presidents annual message. He
declared that the issue before the people In
the presidential campaign was not an issue
between free trade and protection. 1t
was not an issue raised against the
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try. 1t was simply au issue
propounded to the people through their
democratic spokesman for the release of an
unneeded surplus in the treasury now
amounting to $l30, 900, 600 for the relief of
the taxpayers from excessive and unnec-
essary taxation, for the removal of incum-
ORANGES 10 manufactures by the furnishing Of
cheaper raw materials; for the removal
of restrictions to commerce and navi-
cation; for the rescue of agriculture now
in Decline and for unbinding the cords
which tie the hands Of labor. In fine, it was
an issue for and in behalf of labor in many
fields of enterprise and against monopoly
by over taxation in many branches of
trade. In conclusion, he said that the
democracy had written on its banners,
unnecessary taxation 10 unjust TAXATION"
and in that sign it would conquer or fall.

from the committee ON public lands, to-day
submitted a report upon tho resolution
directing the committee TO investigate the
charges of illegal conveyancing Of swamp
and overfiowed lands in the state Of Florida.
The report says that it is probably true that
great deal Of land not of the character
described by the swamp lands act has been
patented ~ Florida aud other states, but at
this late day it Is impracticable to ascertain
what lands were illegally conveyed. In
view of tue fact that much Of this land has
been purchased by innocent persons on the
faith of tho United States title, the COM
mittee believe that no action should be
taken by congress to set aside and cancel
