IF NOT. WHY NOT 2

If Tallahassee is not in West Florida, will
the Herald please explain how 1t happened that
the West Florida Seminary. endowed with
land by the United States for the benefit OF West
Florida, is located ut Tallahassee and why, IN
the change Of the name of that seminary, they
were so careful to state that it was west OF the
Suwannee ?"-Pensacola Commercial.
By reference to Sections l and 2, Chap
ter 337. act of January "a, 1851, creating
these institutions, it will be seen "that
two Seminaries of learning shall be estab-
lished, one upon the east, the other upon
the west side of the Suwannee river" etc.
1t became habit afterwards to speak of
the "East Florida Seminary" and the
"West Florida Seminary" but the act
locating the same placed one east Of the
Suwannee, and the other west of the SUI
wannee. The seminary west Of the .Su-
wannee was located at Tallahassee by
Section l, Chapter 796, act of January l,
1857, and nothing in said acts refer to a
seminary in West Florida, or to one in
East Florida, but to seminaries east and
west of the Suwannee river.

SUPPLEMENT.

The FLoR1DIAN supplement to-day con-
tains Governor Fleming's message to the
Legislature on the all-important subject
of the public health. The Governor re.
views the whole field, as to the origin
and effect of the late epidemic, and the
duty of the law-making power, in clear
and vigorous manner. The entire mes
sage has the ring of genuine patriotism
and bears the impress of statesman.
In the supplement will also be found
reports of Attorney General Cooper and
Comptroller Barnes, both of which will
prove of special interest to Senators and
Representatives, and of general interest
to citizens Of Florida.

THE KING OF BOOMERS.

The Board of Directors of the Sub
Tropical Exposition met in Jacksonville
Tuesday and elected Gen. Wanton S.
Webb Director-General of the Sub-Trop-
ical. Gen. Webb was in the city and
accepted the position, and will begin at
once to hustle up the biggest boom that
Jacksonville and Florida ever enjoyed
Webb's FLORIDA on Wheels has done
more 10 advertise the attractions and
products of the State than any other
medium, and, with its Commodore as
boomerin-chief Of the Sub Tropical, Jack
sonvile and all Florida will be still more
prominently brought to the attention of
the world
Florida is widely known for it's produc-
ton of fine cigar tobacco, and to still fur
ther advertise this fact, General Webb
will provide special building for grand
tobacco exhibit. Middle Florida can
make handsome display in this, as we'll
as many other lines, and If any man in
the world can stimulate the growers to
take pride in making an exhibit, that man
is WANToN S. WEBB
We congratulate the Directors, and all
Florida, in this wise selection of the King
of Boomers for Director-General of the
Exposition

The Legislature was convened

The Legislature was convened in
extra sesslon-not, as some persons must
assume, judging from acts and words,
to create 4 State Board of Health for a
particular section of the State-but to
leglslate upon matters pertaining to the
public health, ETC., of all Florida. The
Health Bill must be made for the entire
State. The State Health authorities can
make regulations for the various sections.
The welfare of every Flordian is at stake
In this matter. The future of Florida
at least for the next few years-is to be
shaped for veal or woe bv legislation on
this subject, and we have faith in the in.
telligence and wisdom of the Senators
and Representatives now assembled at
the Capital to frame good and strong
health law. Time devoted to discussion
and deliberation in perfecting an effective
health law is in the line of real economy

affecting State and Interstate Commerce

is railroad a commercial concern
operating for profit, or is it public nst-
tuition created for the benefit of the peo-
pie? From railroad point of view, it is
the former 1t has been contended by
some that it is the latter. 1t might not
be far from the truth to say that neither
proposition is correct; it is likely that it
is still nearer the truth to say that both
propositions are true. Money, which has
been invest ed in railroads, is the property
of the part y who invests it. And so also
whatever profits arise from operating a
railroad are the property of the man
whose money secured the profits. To
this extent railroad is a commercial con-
Germ operating for profit On the other
hand, corporation is creature of the
law. A railroad built under a charter has
a monopoly. The franchise includes the
right of the exercise of eminent domain.
and this can only be where private prop
erty is taken for public use. The corpo-
ration, as such, is protected by law in the
enjoyment of it's rights. Railroads are
common carriers. Common carriers have
always been subject to common law reeu-
lation. Without prolonging the argu-
ment, 1T is enough to say that courts and
Legislatures in the United States and
Europe have maintained and established
beyond question that railroads are subject
to legal control-that it is violation Of
law for them to charge other than just
and reasonable rates or to practice UNI ust
discrimination.

PREVENTION OF YELLOW FEVER.

DR.. w. g. Van Bibber, of Baltimore,
has published in pamphlet form an inter-
esting paper written by him on "The
Prevention of Yellow Fever in Florida
and the South" which was read last De-
cember before the Baltimore Academy of
Medicine. Dr. Van Bibber, who has
given much study to this subject, says
the Baltimore Sun, discusses the matter
very thoroughly in the light of the re-
cent epidemic of yellow fever in the
South He argues that continued clean
illness is the best safeguard against yell
low fever that the advanced doctrine is
"no germ, no yellow fever that town
in an unsanitary condition is liable to an
epidemic of the disease whenever the
germ is brought there, and that any place
may be made and kept yellow fever proof"
He shows that the quarantine as now en-
forced is no absolute safeguard against this
disease, ard makes some interesting suc-
gestions to improve the system and
even to make it attractive Where the
fever germ has been introduced there
are two modes of preventing the dis
ease from becoming epidemic. These are
continued cleanliness and isolation com
bined. Yellow fever never becomes cpl
demic where the sanitary conditions are
good, although, the germs Of the disease
may be introduced To insure good san
itation, DR.. Van Bibber prescribes the
following: "To abolish the system Of
board-tenced yards and pits and sinks ;
to pave with hard, clean pavements un-
der the houses, which are to be built
we'll up off the ground on arches or piers
to keep the town clean according to the
enforced changes which such style of
building viii necc> sarily bring about to
place quarantine prominent, and so alter
the way of conducting it as to make it
attractive, and at the same time, through
it, to keep constant vigilance to the in
PRODUCTION Of the yellow fever germ and
the isolation of the disease"

WHAT BONDS WILL DO.

The editor of the Tallahasseean seems
very much afraid Of bonding the city for
the purpose Of securing water-works, and
continues each week to wall about grave
consequences to follow the issuing of
bonds We cannot better answer his
silly attempts at an argument against
bonds than by quoting the subjoined
statement, compiled from the New Year
edition of the st. Joseph (Mo.) Herald by
the Gainesville Record. Water-works
will do as much for Tallahassee, bonds
or no bonds
The official figures show that ST. Joseph is one
o! the most prosperous cities OF its size in The
country. Nearly $500 900 have been expended
IN that city for public improvements during the
past year. The public work do,e in 1888 shows
gam OF "A per cent over the same character of
work done in 1887, and this in turn shows a gan
OF OF 80 per cent. over the public work o! 1886
Inc prosperity Of that city could not be more
sr'klngly shown. The enterprising and public
spirited citizens of ST. Joseph bonded that city,
lew years ago to make public Improvements,
the effect OF which has been that the population
IS now three times as great MS when the bonds
were issued and all the varied interests of the
cry are In most prosperous condition.

thank God, we know where to take
them and how to get the better of
them. With all our faults God loves
us still If we are trusting in His Son;
therefore let US not be down-hearted,
but hope to live and learn, and do
some good service before we die.
Though the cart creaks, it will go
home with its load, and the old
horse, brOken-kneed as he is, will do
a sight of work yet. There's no use
in lying down and doing nothing, be-
cause we cannot do everything as we
should like. Faults or no faults,
ploughing must be done, and imper-
feet people must do it, too, or there
will be no harvest next year; bad
ploughmsn as John may be, the an
gels won't do his wcrk for him, and
so he is off to do it himself.

were coming upon them. The
Apostles could hardly express the
deep compassion they felt for those
who rejected their message of saliva
ton One mighty element of power
in Whitefield, the Wesleys, and the
preachers under whom such mighty
works were accomplished in Tennes-
see, Kentucky, and Western Penn
sylvania, in 1902, was their intensity
of feeling, because of the sin and dam
ger of the impenitent and the deep
desire of heart for their salvation.
And the elders and private members
of the churches manifested the same
spirit. The world may laugh at
weeping preachers and weeping con-
gregations, but would that we had
more of them; and we must have
more of them if the world is TO be
made mighty through God. Deeper
views of the nature and danger of sin
and Of the blessedness of salvation
through Christ are needed.
