month ago the safe of Heard & Hamilton,
at Vienna, was blown open and about 800
taken from it, Heard & Hamilton imme-
diately took steps to catch the burglar, but
up to yesterday all their efforts proved
fruitless Two days before the safe was
blown open a man came here and regis
tered at the hotel as Thomas P. Long
He made minute inquiries from
various parties about the roads be-
tween Montszuma and Vienna. representing
himself as a guano agent. lie spent the
day and night here, and left early next
morning, leaving his baggage and an un-
paid hotel bill. The proprietor of the hotel
received note from him stating that he
had gone 20 take a trip into the country,
and would return in few days. The hotel
people held his baggage, although they re-
ceived various letters and postal cards re-
questing that the baggage be sent to various
addresses

FLoRIDA's LEGISLATORS.

A Change in the Election Laws to Be
Proposed at the Next Session.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Feb. 25.-Among
the most important matters which will be
brought to the attention of the legislature
at the regular session in April is the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution chang
ing the time for holding state elections. At
present the state ana national elections
occur on the same day. This has been
found inconvenient. Florida is the only
southern state whose state and county
officers are not chosen at a time more Or
less removed from the day prescribed by
national elections.

80 REASON FOR IT.

AS there is no possible connection between
state and county officers and congressman
and President Of the United States, there is
no reason why the elections should take
place al the same time thereby necessarily
enabling local matters to influence voters in
national affairs This Is a matter of great
lmpor sance to the state IF Florida, and it is
very probable that an amendment TO the
constitution for this purpose will be pro-
posed by three ifths of the legislature, and
submitted to the popular vote in 1890

The Detroit Free Press can let its par
tlsan bitterness run away with It's com
mon sense about As thoroughly as any
Democratic journal in the country.
Perhaps, however, It's partisansnip Is so
much heavier than its common sense
that the latter kicks the beam contin-
ually. In It's .ssue of yesterday il enun-
ciates the following proposition, the
falsity Of which viii be seen at a glance
by any sensible Democrat, unle IS, IN
deed, his sense bears the same relative
proportion % his partisanship as does
that of the Free Press. IL says: LET 1t
not be forgotten that the Governor of
Michigan Is responsible for all the ridI-
culous and blundering legislation with
which the present Legislature loaded
the statute books and fatigued the peo-
pie That is where that great eXecu-
tive instrument, the Veto, oughtto have
come IN"
Now this Is the first time We ever
heard Of investing the Executive de-
partment with the prerogatives and re-
spOnsbilties of the Legislative depart
ment. According to the proposition
above expressed, the members of the
Legislative department are relieved
from al responsibility. Let any bill
pass, they may say; if it isn't all right,
the Governor must attend TO It. And,
moreover, the Governor must invest
himself with judicial acumen and
authority and weed out all uncOnsti-
tutiOnal measures. We submit that
u is no part OF the Governors business
20 pass upon the consututiopality of
the acts passed, where there IS any
show Of question about 1t. IL Is true
that the Governor, under MS oath Of
Office, should refuse to sanction any
fagrant violation Of the constitution.
But in all cases where anything Ike
judicial investigation and decision are
required. It tis not only not his duty, but
even a usurpation Of authority for him
10 decide the question. lie should
leave the point TO be passed upon by
the judicial department.
But the anxiety Of the FREE Press 70
shift the responsibility upon Republican
shoulders Overc0mes its sense AID de-
cency. To throw the responsibility
upon the Legislature would be to dis
tribute it between the parties, for no
one Of the Objectionable measures
passed by a strictly partisan vote. For
the Governor % allow those measures
% 20 90 the Supreme Court was also TO
distribute the responsibility between
the parties, for that tribunal Is divided
politically. But a happy thought
struck the Free Press. By throw
ing the responsibility upon the Execu-
tive department, the whole Of 10
would fall upon Republican shoulders
alone. Presuming upon the ignorance
Of IL readers, the Free Press thought 20
make a great political hit, and that Is
the whole secret fthe paragraph above
quoted.

AN IMPoEriNr DECISION.


The much-mOOted question OF
whether corporation could lawfully
restrain the musical prochvities of the
salvation Army, when they became SO
obstreperous on the streets as to be
a nuisance, mas received an emphatic
decision in the affirmative, by the ap-
pellate court Of Illinois.
The case arose IN Bloomington. The
salvation Army made a practice Of
parading the business streets nights,
blowing horns and pounding on an I'M
mense bass drum. Mayor Gasson or
dered that the drum beating cease, and
when Mrs. Washburne, the drummer,
again appeared on the streets in de-
tiance of the mandate, she was arrest
ed and fined. The cause was taken to
the circuit court, where the decision
was affirmed. 1t then went to the ap-
pellate court and was again affirmed.
II certainly Is right that the power
should be reposed in municipal gov
ernments to restrain all undue disturb
ance on the street. Any other decision
would have opened the way to gross
abuses. Religious rights are to be en-
joyed by individuals, like other rights,
only in such way as not to interfere
with tne rights of others.
The question of whether it is policy
in any particular case to exercise th7
right IS another matter. So long as the
Salvation Army is reasonable, the
municipality ought also to be reason
able. A little Judgment exercised by
both parties viii reconcile nearly every
conflict of interests.
