A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

1t is proposed that an amendment to
the State Constitution shall be made and
submitted to the people by the next reg
ular session of the Florida Legislature,
which meets in April next, to provide for
the holding of the Gubernatorial election
on different day from that on which the
Presidential election is held There is a
popular sentiment among the citizens of
this State in favor of such a change.
\ special dispatch from Tallahassee to
the Savannah News, of recent date. bear
ing on this subject, says that among the
most important matters which will be
brought to the attention of the Legisla
ture at the regular session in April. is the
proposed amendment to the Constitution
changing the time for holding State cleo.
tions. At present the State and national
elections occur on the same dav. This
has been found inconvenient Florida is
the only Southern State whose State and
county officers are not chosen at time
more or less removed from the day pre-
scrlbed for national elections.
AS there is no possible connection be-
tween State and county officers and Con-
gre>smen and President of the United
States, there is no reason why the cleo
tions should take place at the same time
thereby necessarily enabling local matters
to influence voters in national affairs
This is matter of great Importance to
the State of Florida, and it is very prob.
able that an amendment to the Constitu
ton for this purpose will be proposed bv

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.


We published last week the State
Board of Health bill in full as passed at
the extra session Of the legislature and
approved by the Governor.
The strong point in the bill is section
y, beginning as follows
The State Board OF Health shall have general
supervision Of the public health Of the State Of
Florida, and shall have power 10 make. promu-
gale and enforce such rules and regulations as
may be necessary Tor the SAINT.
This is the whole question in a nut
shell. Ii the Board will only "make,
promul gate and enforce such rules and
regulations as may be necessary for the
preservation OF the same" no further
trouble may be anticipated.
If the Board will sound the watchword
CLEAN Up,
and cause every city, town and hamlet
in the State to echo the same, and then
enforce it and cause it to be enforced
everywhere, and then promulgate an
order 10
KEEP CLEAN
and ENFORCE that also, everywhere, the
questions Of guarantees, segregations,
depopulations ami the COMMISSIONS arising
from locking the stable door after the
steed Is stolen will be met before the Is
sac will ever be made
With section II, fully and fairly exc
cuted the balance of the law will be vir
tuallv dead letter. The foregoing APP
plies, OF course only to yellow fever. \
visitation OF smallpox or cholera would
call out the enactment of the necessary
rules and regulations applicable to the
management Of such diseases.
Public Spirit has advocated the estab-
lishment of State Board of Health ever
since the subject was presented for con-
sideraton, and has emphasized the prac-
teal "clean up" principle withal, and
now, with this principal incorporated into
our State Health law and given legal
standing, We sound the keynote Of Flor
ida's future property. Clean up.

Agents from Arkansas are quietly
but successfully working in North Care
lima, inducing negroes TO move 70 Arkan-
saS, and several thousand have gone. The
entire expense Of transportation to Little
Rock is paid by the agents. The negroes
say they are promised forty acres of land,
a brick house, a cow and 81 50 per day
for labor, and are told that corn srlls for
10 cents barrel, and meat at cent a
pound. They know nothing of their
destination. The removal is by families
The planters in the counties affected are
greatly embarrassed at the loss Of farm
hauds at the beginning OF the planting
season.
The New York South The recent
movements to secure immigration, as
shown in Webb's Florida car AMI the
Alabama exposition car, have been nov
elites, suggested by their adaptation to
the purpose in view. That they have
been successful no one can doubt; aud
anything done now should be undertaken
in the same spirit Of originality. NV
conditions call for new expedients, and
everything that can be done to induce
persons to visit the South should be tried.
By all means advertise the South in all
parts; send exposition trains to the
North, or even to Europe, and have a
Southern Exposition in one or more
Northern cities. But, as a complement
tary measure to these efforts, provide the
rich or poor, may come and see the coun-
try for themselves. \ settler who would
grudge p nominal fare to see the country
