Sanford Mascotte: Squire d. X. Hall
informs US that he came to Florida from
Fortress Monroe in Virginia, I'd he landed
in Jacksonville on Jan. II, 1887, as private
in Company / of the Second regiment OF
dragons, which was not organized; that
be was attached to Capt. Mellon's Company
C Of the Third infantry. and that he re-
NAMED with the command until Capt.
Mellon was killed in the fignS with the
India near where the hotel now is in Mel
Ionville) on Feb. s. 1887. They established
the post at Fort Christmas, south of Lake
Harvey, about Christmas time, 1887, which
place they called Camp Christmas. He
was in battle fought with the
Indians on Jan. 81, 1888, on the Lucha
Hatcni, creek, three miles west of Jupiter
Inlet; that Con. Jessup, wh5 was in COM
mand, had his speotacles shot off in the
fight Brig. Gen. Eustis, who was next in
command, built a large house at Mellon
vile. He was mustered out at Fort Column
bus, Governors Island, New York, by Maj.
Fauntleroy, on Sep. II, 1889. After he was
mustered out he went to work on the Gro
ton water works, driving team, and that he
was always homesick for Florida and
came back several winters and
in 1S49 he came here and re-
manned. That the only man he ever helped
to shoot was one Riley, who was court
martialed for mutiny and executed in the
spring Of 1888, at place called Mlddleburg
then called Garey's Ferry an uninabited
place in Duval county. He says that forty
years ago tornado swept through Orlando
and tore up strip, leveling all the pine
trees in its path. He says that Gen. Jessup
pretended to the Indians that a man had
been sent for who would run a line and
give them their territory; that having
gained the confidence Of the Indians,
he surrounded them and took all prisoners
That Osceola was captured at Fort Peyton,
about seven miles west of st. Augustine in
1887, on a Sunday morning, by command
of Gen. Hernandez. Osceola used to come
in for provisions and clothes, and then go
out on the warpath. They surrounded the
camp and took the lot prisoners. The
Indians came in on parole at the time aud
had their liberty, and used to watch tho
soldiers drill. Osceola was sent to Sullivan's
island, where he was taken sick, and refus-
ing medical aid, he shortly after died.

~ cents per pound. AS soon as ten bales
had been gathered, it was ginned, packed
hauled to Columbus and gold to one Of the
mills, say at 9 cents n pound. Then the
farmer bought the same tagging from the
mill second hand, paying therefor so cents
per yard, or 21s cents per pound.
This bagging was hauled to the farm and
ten new bales were packed with it, brought
to Columbus and sold to the same factory.
This schedule was repeated over and over,
until the farmer Rad ginned and sold his en-

Yesterday and will very soon visit Orlando,
Fla, where he has a suit pending for nearly
the whole town Of Orlando, and is in a fair
way of getting verdict in his favor. Pey-
ton Colbert, wEo died several years ago,
and was the grandfather Of Dr.. SOrrels, was
a very wealthy man and owned lands in all
the upper Counties, besides large interests in
Florida. The lands were held by him in
trust for his wife, and Mr.. Colbert could
only sell her life interest in it with her con-
sent, provided the proceeds were rein
vested There is no record of Mrs. Colbert
giving her consent, which should have been
recorded with the deeds The suit has
stopped great deal of building in Orlando,
and one party, after paying part Of the
purchase money, refused to pay the balance
on account Of the suit. The other heirs OF
Mr.. Colbert have given their claims to DR..
Sorrels, and he has employed Messrs.
Thomas e Strickland, together with
lawyer in Orlando, to prosecute the claims.
1t is bound TO be a fortune sooner or later to
the heirs Of Peyton Colbert.

ZnLA,s ACCoMPLIcEs.

Browns novels ought to be written by
Brown. The name of the author upon the
title page ought to correspond with the
name of the person who made the book.
This is not always the case. Browns books
ars sometimes written by Jones to Browns
order, and then palmed off upon the public
as Browns creation. This is fraud of
very mean and disreputable kind. Several
novelists of to-day have been accused of
such practices. Miss Braddon, the extremely
prolific writer of sensational novels in Eng
land, has more than once been charged with
lending her name to the works of less popu-
lar writers. The latest discovery in this
line is that Emil Zola employs half dozen
salaried writers, whose work is retouched
by him and published under his name.
These stories rejecting upon the honesty
of authors must not be taken without a
tolerably large grain of salt. From time
immemorial authors who have obtained any
decided recognition from the world have
been the mark for the sneers and insinua-
tions of their less successful brethren. Ugly
tales about the methods of great novelists
come from small novelists as rule. The
tales are, it is sad to say, usually pure
romances.
But it is possible that Zola has turned
his name into cash without much thought
of the moral side of the question. The
novelist of the sewer and street pavements
can hardly be expected to rise above the
moral standard OF his books. But it is un-
pleasant to know that there are half dozen
writers of standing in the French literary
world who are willing to purvey filth of one
sort and another to Zola's converting estab-
lishment. It is also unfortunate for the
world that, with the assistance of these pur.
veyors. Zola's power for evil is greatly
increased. The multiplication of realistic
romances of the "Nana" type is a distinct
curse to civilized society. And. it is rea-
sonable to ask, what becomes of Zola's claim
to a highly moral intent in writing his
loathsome descriptions Of the lowest forms
of life, when corps of assistants are kept
busy grinding ont novels to be issued
under his name? Does he vouch for the
purity of his assistants aims?

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

If the story which was told in the local
courts last week by business man who was
robbed of S1O,0 in Allegheny through the
bunko process had appeared originally in
fiction, not one among ten readers would
credit it as probable or possible. The old,
familiar device of strangers inviting a
credulous person to invest large sums OF
money in game promising big profits. has
been worked so often, and the details have
been published SO frequently from one end
of the land to the other, that one would
suppose prize might be offered, without
takers, for any adult who had not heard of it.
But it is noticeable that, excepting in rare
cases, it is very old men who are thus vic
timized. This may argue that the sharpers
carefully watch for the declining faculties
of old age, or that the habit of newpaper
reading has not been so strong with
men of the older generation as with
those who are but middle-aged or with
the young. AT all events, whatever
faults the hypercritical may choose to
find with the newspapers of our times, no
one can deny that they tell fully enough
what is going on in the world to enable the
dullest to be on guard against the schemes
of the willy. That any ruse with ear-marks
of bunko fully developed can succeed in
swindling the greenest of people is truly
surprising.

The discussion of the subjects to be
treated of by the Congress Of American re-
publics, which is reported in our local col
umns, puts the Importance of that meeting
in strong light. There is no doubt that
the occasion, properly improved, may be
made of the greatest and broadest interna-
tional benefit.
This subject of International arbitration
is by itself enough to make the meeting one
Of the most important ever held. 1t pro-
poses to substitute reason and justice for the
barbaric trials of strength which now settle
international disputes. If the American
Governments can perfect plan for putting
arbitration in force, it will place them far
in advance of European Governments, in
true civilization.
Add to this great work the questions of
commercial union, uniform customs agree
ment, international and uniform coinage,
and uniform weights and measures, and the
scope of the congress rises to vast impor-
tance. The permanent attainment of sim
gle one of these objects would be full re-
ward for the meeting of the congress. The
possibility that most, if not all, of them can
be reached, makes the meeting of tnat body
a pivotal event, not only for the countries
participating in it, but for civilization.
While there is abundance Of room for the
criticism of Mr. Blaine's political methods.
there can be no question that in his long
cherished project of an American internal
congress, he has taken the best way to enroll
his name high in the lists of craftsmanship.

BARRELS BEHIND HIM.

1t is 10 be observed that certain Demo-
cratic organs in the East are sturdily keep
ing before the public the fact that in look
ing over the list of Democratic possibilities
for 1892, the name of Wm. c. Whitney
should not be forgotten. Mr.. Whitney was
a very able Secretary CT the Navy, and
made a good record in that position. He
also exhibited remarkable degree OF
facility il giving banquets at which cham
pagne and diamond-backed terrapin were
the distinctive features As Presidential
candidate he would evidently be unable to
make the champagne and turtle reach around
among all the ward workers.
But the Democratic organs recognize
another quality in Mr.. Whitney, which
would more than make up for his addiction
to forms of luxury which the ordinary voter
could not get chance to appreciate. Mr..
Whitney has a moderate barrel of his own,
but bis stock of Standard Oil barrels behind
him is practically limitless. This fact
would probably console the Democratic
organs, even in case of defeat, it would GER
tainly make very interesting campaign to
have the brother-;n-law of the Standard Oil
Trust in the field as a Democratic Presi-
dental candidate.

WORK FOR CONGRESS.

Discussion of the possibilities of an extra
session of Con gress, beginning in October,
indicates ia avorable opinions to it from the
President down. Such step would only
anticipate the meeting of Congress by a
couple of months and doing so might permit
that body to do some work before the
Christmas holidays. As the one thing need
full in the way of Congressional reform is to
get some work done, the general disposition
in favor of starting in early is evidently cor
rect.
1t is certainly full time that Congress
should make some disposition of the tariff
question. Public opinion generally is in
favor of the abolition of the Sugar Trust by
removal of the duty that protects its aggres-
sion, and while opinions may vary widely
as to the disposition OF the general tariff
question, the business interests OF the en-
tire country will be glad to have it settled
in one form or another. The two sessions
of the last Congress were spent in wrestling
over that problem, with the result that the
problem won every round and is still uncon-
ouered

BITING THE RITERs.

A story is now afioat to the effect that the
famous wheat deal of 1887, which ruined
the Fidelity Bank, of Cincinnati, and
landed Z. /. Harper in the Ohio Peniten.
tiary, was really engineered by some prom
inent Standard Oil men, who made Harper
their catspaw and then pricked the bubble
for the sake of cornering some of Harper's
hackers and getting control of the Cotton
Seed Oil Trust. The story is by no means
incredible, as it is entirely consistent with
Standard Oil methods, the squeezing of the
Penn Bank oil corner In this city, few
years sooner. being case in point. But it
is pertinent to remark that if the men who
were thus pinched by the Standard had not
been engaged in the business of squeezing
the markets and trying to make money
without giving an honest consideration for
it, they could not have been squeezed by the
Standard. The ofenses for which the
Standard must be arraigned by public
opinion, consists of squeezing them who
were engaged in legitimate business to de-
prive them OF it for the benefit of the
monopoly. When it comes to dog eating
dog, the public need care little as to which
canine is bitten the worst.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-07-07

World argues that such representations are
unfounded, because we have defense bet
ter than dynamite in the fact that this ma
tion feeds the world and that the world
would have to go hungry if it got into war
with us.
This is q fiattering but by no means reli-
able representation of the hold which We
have upon the respect of foreign Govern
ments. The fact is that the United States
has by no means as thorough control of the
worlds food supply as it had ten or twenty
years ago. India and Russia could fur
nish Europe with wheat, if necessary, and
Australia and South America stand ready
to supply it with cattle, if the supply of the
United States should be cut of. 1t would
doubtless somewhat enhance the price of
food staples IN Europe if a war should
break out between European Government
and this country, but it would not create
any such famine as to make the maintenance
of war impossible.
There is a much stronger security in an
other fact which the World points out, that
the financial powers, which exert even q
greater influence in Europe than they do in
in this country. are so completely involved
in the channels of commerce between Europe
and America, and have such vast interests
in this country, that they cannot afford to
permit war. Beyond that there is the fact
that the mutual dread and distrust of the
great powers of Europe is such that none of
them could afford to engage in hostilities
with the United States, and thus expose
itself to attack from foes nearer at home.
These two considerations give almost alb
solute security from foreign attack at the
present. But it is by no means wise to rely
upon the consideration that this security
will be perpetual. The political conditions
of Europe may change, and the military
powers may unite upon the idea of satisfy
ing their desires for extension of territory
and power upon this continent. In that
view, the United States should certainly
prepare itself with navy and ordnance
such as will make it a very uncomfortable
power to attack.

4 NOVELTY IN WATEE..

The appearance of new adaptation Of
the nickel-in-a-slot machine, in the shape
of large water cooler, which on the in
sertion of penny, yields up glass full Of
cool water, is per Sc novel and benefcient
development of modern invention. 1t is
complicated by the demonstration of the
fact to-day that it can serve the thirsty
public with cheap and refreshing drink
without the intervention Of anyone to be
held responsible for the breaking of the
Sunday laws. Whether the law would. if
called upon, hold those who prepare the
water, and collect the money next day, to
be Sabbath breakers. is an open question;
but we venture the prediction that no one
will undertake the invidious task of prose-
cutting such a beneficial and wholly unob-
strusive method of giving people a chance
to satisfy their thirst.
