[From our Regular Correspondence
Let us hope the rain is over.
The parade was good and the music
first rate.
Eve credit is due the band; the
progress made since they commenced
to practice is phenomenal.
The wet weather failed to dampen the
spirits of the right ones; they flocked to
the beach by hundreds and came back
draggle-tailed.
The evening was rather less rainy land
people were on the streets looking at
the fire works, which by the bye were
worth coming from DeI.and to see. De-
Lands citizens were conspicuous by
their absence.
The prizes to be sailed for were as
as follows First class-1st prize $50, I'd
prize $25; second class-1st prize 500,
I'd prize $40. Charlie Fozzard carried
off the first prize and Charlie Mac the
second. Daytona was badly whipped,
but that is as it should be over our own
course.
Our beach pavilion is nearly completed
and the beach just as nice end inviting

likely those interested in beach property
and the comfort and convenience of our

fit to finish the good work of saw busting

The citizens ticket won't do; the COM

a city government of former disturbing

the slate off clean and start anew to rel

Let us have peace, but neglect no means

CAN'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

The question is, "Why did not Acting Mayor
DAVIS try the negroes who raised the row Satur-
day night instead OF turning them over to the
justice of the Observation-Disclosures.
Our esteemed contemporary is inconsistent.
Only last week it was arguing that Mr.. DAVIS
election was Illegal and that he had no power to
act as president Of the council or mayor.
Mr.. DAVIS acted advisedly. AS the AGRIcULT-
UR1sT well knows. his election is disputed. and he
is waiting for the courts to decide the matter.
And as long as the parties got justice we do not
see what difference it makes-whether they were
tried by the city or State authorities-News.
Our esteemed friend, the News, is
mistaken. We have not argued that Mr..
DAVIS election was illegal, nor have we
expressed an opinion on the subject.
True, we quoted the opinion of an emf
nent lawyer, but we must not be held re-
sponsible for the opinions of others.
The News says: GAS long as the par
ties got justice we do not see what differ
ence it makes whether they we're tried
by the city or State authorities"
Well, there is quite difference for all
of that. Our city has its ordinances, and
any one guilty OF violating them is sub
ject to prescribed penalties; if these pen
alties are in the shape of fines, the city
gets the benefit of them. And again, a
party in some cases violates city ordin-
ance and not the State statutes, and the
only way to punish them would be to try
them under the ordinances. If it were
not so, why our municipal government?
Why not turn all our offenders over to
the State authorities and dispense with
the municipal government entirely?
Speaking of inconsistency we are con-
strained to remark that if there was any
doubt about Mr.. DAVIS authority to try
parties guilty of violating the city ordin-
ances, the same doubt must exist as to
his authority to act as president of the
council in any capacity. But, strange to
say, this doubt appeared to be an un-
known quantity at the time the council
elected officers.
The News says that "Mr. DAVIS is
waiting for the courts to decide the mat
ter" Has Mr.. DAVIS requested the
courts to give an opinion? Has he any
official information that any one has?
Our courts do not 60 around the country
giving their decisions unasked and out
of the regular order. And, so far as Mr..
DAVIS knows, the courts are entirely ig-
norant of our municipal Idle.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.
Competent Democrats Will not be Re.
moved,

WASHINGTON. March E.-Senator
Stanford had an interview with the
President in regard to his policy in re.
moving Federal officers in the State Of
California who have been appointed un-
der the Democratic Administration. He
SAYS the President will not remove com
peteut men. He thinks that the Gov
ernment owes something to the man who
accepts an Office for fixed period and
that it shonld not turn him out if he is
performing the duty properly before his
term of office has expired. This will
probably be the policy pursued by Harri-
son. If it is it will change considerably
the action of the California delegation,
which meets again on Monday to consider
the names of candidates for the various
offices. The delegation will not recon.
mend candidates for Offices which will
not be vacant within short time, as the
candidate which the delegation will
recommend would probably be attacked
by his rivals and his appointment made
more difficult.

REST FOR TIE SOLDIERS.

Sunday Dress Paradcs 10 be Abolished.
WAsHINGToS, March ll9.-Secretary
Proctor is an advocate for the Sunday
Rest law, as will soon be demonstrated
by the appearance of an order from the
War Department abolishing the Sunday
dress parades at all army posts through.
out the country. This subject has been
agitated in the annual reports of army
officials for years, but none of Mr.. Proc.
tors predecessors have seen fit to direct
the change. General Sheridan was op-
posed to the abolition, which probably
accounts for nothing having been done in
late years. The present commanding
General, however, believes that only
absolutely necessary work should be
done in the army on Sunday, and has
strongly indorsed recent report Of the
Inspector General Of the sarmy recon-
mending the abolition of the dress parade
and all other unnecessary work on the
Sabbath.

PEOPLE are often prompted to char
acterize the payment of a hundred dol
lars or more to each newspaper in the
state for the publication of the laws as a
needless expense, while the practice is
often criticised IN much stronger terms.
Doubtless in some instances the money
is thrown away, but as a general
thing the people are benefited. 1t will
certainly be weeks, and perhaps months,
before the volume of state laws is issued
and then but 900 copies. AS the st.
Paul Ne,rs says, it is only owing to this
newspaper publication that people gen.
orally are enabled to ascertain what laws
have been enacted and the promptness
of their issue is an additional evidence Of
the importance of their publication.

were quite general throughout Minneso-

ties of Minnesota, however, appear not
to have been visited by the soaking

THE Sioux Indians want $3.50 an acre
for the IL ,OOO, 600 acres of their reserva-
ton the government desires to purchase,
and the highest offer yet made is 81 an
acre. The present commission is au-
thorized, however, to increase the bid to
81. 25 an acre, and the Indians are not
unlikely to accept it. The purchase of
Indian lands by the acre, and the pro-
longed "higgling" about the price, sug-
gest two ideas very forcibly. The first
of these is that the land is not so album
dant, relatively, as in former times; and
the second, that the more humane and
more honest way of acquiring territory
from the Indians is now the policy OF
the government. BY the way. when
this land is opened up for settlement
there is likely to be rush to secure the
broad and fertile acres that Will put
Oklahoma's boom in the shade.
