The Florida Bond Question.

The jacksonville correspondent of the
New York Tribune pretends that the action
of the county commissioners in Duval and
other counties in Florida, in refusing to
approve the bonds of some of the lately
elected county officials, is a conspiracy on
the part Of the commissioners to prevent
republicans from occupying the offices to
which they were elected. 1t was to be ex-
pected, of course, that the disappointed re-
publicans would insist that they were the
victims of a democratic con piracy. aud
would endeavor to influence public senti-
ment in their favor by charge of that
kind. 1t IS quite safe TO say, however, that
none Of the bonds wdlch the commissioners
refused to approve contained the names of
such bondsmen as the law requires
Tue constitution provides that bondsmen
shall make statement under oath of their
liabilities and assets. The officials must
qualify within sixty days from The da e of
their election. or course they cannot quail
ify until thor bonds have been accepted.
Quite a number Of those elected to county
offices have failed to file salts actory bonds.
Their statement that their bonds are all
that the law requires them to BE-, is, Of
course, incorrect. Some of the bonds
which were approved bv the commissioners
were rejected by the state comptroller. be-
eau it was clear that the bondsmen were
not responsible TO tie extent to when they
made themselves liable.
There is good reason for saying that the
comptroller and commissioners have en-.
deavored TO enforce the law strictly and
impartially. The bonds they rejected were
not sufficiently secured. The assertion that
bond, were rejected to which were
the names Of men worth many times the
amount for which they made themselves
liable, is certainly without foundation
II the officials do not qualify within the
sixty days limit, the offices 20 which they
were elected become vacant, and the gov.
ernor is authorized to ill the vacancies.
The governor will, Of course, fill the vacan-
cies with men who can give the neces AIRY
bonds. The republicans who have lost
their offices have nothing 10 complain Of.
They couldn't give the bonds required of
them, and they have been compelled,
therefore, TO step aside and permit the gov
ernor to appoint tho q who can. Those
who have complied with the law in the
matter Of bonds have had 10 trouble in get
ting their offices.

who had been taken suddenly ill., The locality
was dangerous one, and before setting out
from the station the new man was admoniShed
to be sure to call for the patrol wagon if he got
in any trouble. Two hours later a terrific thun-
der storm arose. Captain O'DOnnell sat i'll his
private office, O number Of officers in reserve
idled about the squad-room Suddenly the tale

heard the operator tell the patrol wagon to go
to a certain locality in hurry"
A hurry calf is serious 1t means that an
officer is in need OF immediate assistance This
call came from the post to which the new man
had been sent. The Captain imagined all sorts
of desperate crimes.

officers in the squadroom, as he rushed out of

There is no city in the United States where

express themselves in this wy that toey were

How would you eradicate the nuisance?"
Very easily. Let the legislature pass a law

How would you arrange for it?'
by having shower bath in every county

Emigration seems to be injuring Italy
A correspondent, writing from that coun-
try, says; 1T is SO large that not few
districts are left without cultivation, or at
the price Of labor which renders all produce
unremunerative. 1t is, at it were, the mo
ton Of d pendulum. | remember the time
when labor was 50 ill paid that starvation
was almost the sure consequence. Now
every one is flying to the United States. or
Brazil, and comparatively few remain
to cultivate a RIGA aud grateful soil.
lamantable feature Of the exodus is that
women are turned INTO beasts of burden,
and are compelled TO do the work that
should fall TO the lot of man" These things
being true, and many of the Italian immi-
grants not bel wanted in this country,

both this country and Italy.
