COMMISSIONER HINES

The railroads have already. oegum to
move TO put a man 81 Their own selection
on the State railway commission IN place
of Hon. Wm. Hines, whose term expires
the coming summer. Mr.. HINES is the
ONLY orange and vegetable grower on the
commission-ihc only representative OF
the producing interest; and the PENN
sular portion of the State from which he
comes, contains more than halt the rail
way mileage of the State. The other two
commissioners are lawyers OF ability and
belong to the middle and western },arts
of Florida Mr. Hines has had two years
experience, during which he has posted
himself thoroughly in the railway com
mission laws of this and other States
and the orange growers who appeared
before the commission in December and
January and thus had a fair opportunity
of Judging, are convinced that a better OF
more capable man would be difficult tC
find. In fact, there is no doubt that al
overwhelming majority Of the orange
growers, since they have become in
formed of Mr.. Hines character anC
ability, heartily favor his retention upo,
the commission. Such being the case, t,
supply his place with another untrie;
man and one, too, suggested in the inter
ests of the railroads, could not but caus
widespread dissatisfaction. There
every reason in favor Of Mr.. Hines RI
appointment, and we believe that tn
Governor fully understands them an
will hearken unto the voice of the peopl,
Nevertheless, the people shc"ld at one
let their wishes be known directly to tn
Governor, as the railroads have alread
undertaken to do in their own behalf
