THE L. S. COURT.

We give TIE following, from yes
terday's Jacksonville Metropolis, as
the latest from the United States
Court:
The United States Court continues to
grind away, though really doing very little
business.
AS was expected, Judge Swayne delv
cred his decision This morning on the mo-
ton argued and submitted las week, in the
rasc of J. William Evan, indicted on a
charge Of violating he election law in Dade
ounly. The motion was to abate and
quash the Indictment on the ground that
one William Putnam, a member of the
grand jury, was not qualified clecior, ow-
| ing 10 his not being properly registered, and
| that he was OF the panel finding The indict-
ment.
| Judge Swayne came into court Friday to
| deliver his decision, and while quoting "a
| State law in said decision, Hon. c. NJ
| Cooper OF counsel tor defendant, informed
The court that the law being referred TO by
him Judge Swayne) had been repealed by
| The enactment OF another law. The couIl
then took further time and heard additiOna
argument from the District Attorney, who
iemurred to the motion, and from Hon. &
VI. Cooper and Judge L. K Foster, whe
favored it.
| This morning Judge Swayne overrulet
the plea on the ground that while the Juror
Pullman, might not be legally registered
this was only technical objection, which
did not affect the merits of the case
| Defendants counsel then moved &c
lqnash The Indictment on the ground that i
charged no offence against The laws of III,
United S'ales. Judge Swayne said that h,
would hear the motion on Wednesday
next.
The decision of the Judge in this instanc,
was matter OF comment to day in lega
circles, and the general DRIFT seemed to bt
adverse to the decision, wholly from legn
view OF the matter, as presented and from
The authorities submitted bcaIing on tn,
case.
The decision, as understood here
is regarded as contrary to law an(
all precedent.

WORK! ORGANIZE! EDUCATE !
From the National Democrat.

From the National Democrat
These are the watch words of the
Democracy
There is vast encouragement in
the results of the elections this yea1
for our party, but we have three
years OF solid effort before us if VIC
would win a great national victory
in 1892.
The Republicans have suffered Sc

entrenched in many great States,
and they will strain every nerve to
maintain their hold on the Govern.
ment
10 make sure Of success in the
coming contests we must win over
some of the Western States that
have voted steadily for Republican
President since 1860.
We believe that this can be done.
We believe that by well-directed
efforts to reach the minds of the peo.
pie, by organization and by educa
ton, we can carry the State of Hi
nois. If we can win in Illinois all
the great agricultural States of the
West may then be secured.
If tariff reform is d winning issue
and we believe it is so everywhere
then Illinois furnishes us better
fighting ground than Ohio or Iowa
If the Democrats of Illinois will
make a thorough effort in every
county to spread the gospel of De
mocracy and reach the minds of the
people, they can, as the chairman O.
one county committee writes us. con
vert the people in year.
| There should be Democratic cluh,
and societies everywhere, and the
Democratic newspapers, which are
the best educators of the people
should be circulated in every com
munity.
We would urge the same plan 0
action upon the Democratic Leaders
in all other Republican States.

WHO FOR SENATOR /?

Notwithstanding we have an
nounced that we had no candidate
for United States Senator, we are fire.
quently asked, Who is your candi-
date for Senator ?" Every time we
answer eve have no candidate -
Then this inquiry often follows: "Is
Colonel Chipley a candidate ?" On
this point we know absolutely moth
ing. They "say Colonel Chipley
wants to be SENATOR" and we have
heard Col. A. w. Cockrell, Hon. M.
H. Mabry, Gen. J. B. Wall, State Sen.
ator E. M. Hammond, Hon. S. r.
Mallory, Col. r. B. Burford and 9th
ers spoken of in connection with the
Senatorship-all good men, able and
patriotic enough to accept if called.

THE NEXT CENSUS.

The census of 1890, if carried out
in accordance with the plans formu-
lated by Superintendent Robert 7.
Porter, will be one of more than or
binary interest and Importance.
Heretofore the delay in publishing
the census reports has been a great
drawback. To be of real value the
statistics should be given to the peo-
pie while fresh. The government
printing office is always crowded
with work, and by the time they
reach the census reports many of the
statistics are out OF date and hence
of very little use. To avoid this de-
lay and insure the prompt publica-
ton of the reports, Mr.. Porter asks
that the Census Bureau be allowed
to have the volumes issued by it pub
lished by private contract, which he
thinks would prove advantageous in
expediting the work and at the same
time cost much less than if done by
the Government printing office.
Mr.. Porter has promised that the
census of 1890 shall be the most com
plete and valuable ever issued. He
will undertake to find what language
is spoken by every citizen of the
Cnited States and what proportion
of the foreign males are naturalized
which will be of great political inn
portance. The negroes are to be
classified, showing the number each
of negroes, mulattoes, quadroons and
octoroons, which, if complete, will be
real interesting in studying the race
question. 1t is also intended to
greatly improve the classification by
occupations.
Being official the census reports
will be looked to by many interested
capitalists for reliable information of
the growth and development Of the
industrial interests Of the South, and
for this reason every Southern State
should exert itself to aid and assist
in making the reports full and accu-
rate. We have every reason to be-
Iieve that the South has progressed |
since the last census as no other por-
ton of the Union has, and there is no
better way of advertising the fact to
the world than through the official
reports Of the Census Bureau.

BETTER SEED NEEDED.

The last few years, and the pres
ent season especially, have demon
strated that a better grade of cotton
seed is needed in this section-in
fact, must be secured, if our planters
desire to grow cotton successfully
and proftably.
Last spring Messrs. Thos. J. Per-
kins & Son gratuitously distributed
few sacks of Aliens long staple
seed to farmers in this section, and
they inform us that on the same day,
in the same market, a bale of this
long staple cotton, grown by Col.
Thos. j. Roberts, sold for cent and
quarter more per pound than the
ordinary middling grade raised here.
Hon. w. w. Walker, of Crawford
Vile, had bale of the long staple
cotton that sold for a cent and a
half more per pound than the short
staple middling.
These figures make a difference
of ST and IS per bale in favor Of
the long staple cotton, which is also
more prolific than the variety now
grown here. This long staple cot
ton, ginned with roller machines, has
sold as high as 20 cents per pound.
The Allen variety is not Sea Island
cotton, but simply long staple,
very superior to the ordinary short
staple.
Planters desiring these seed should
order them nor. For full particulars,
call on Messrs. r. J. Perkins e Son.
The seed do not cost extravagant
prices, and Colonel John A. Hender-
son has taken steps to secure special
low rate of freight on these seed in
carload lots.
We advise our farmers to form
clubs and order seed by the carload
--order at once, before the supply is
exhausted.

FROM KENTUCKY.

kentucky rhetoric is as red hot as
that which the fiery Murat IIalstead
dispenses north of the Ohio, and it
IS even more unconventional. Mr..
Henry Watterson is having his In
ming since the elections, and this is
the way in which he COMFORTS him
self as he frees his mind to those
about him:
In "a word, Jordan is hard road to
travel, and what with the tariff tiger and
the pension elephant, it will be simply a
mercy of God if the administration gets
out OF the jnng'es alive In six months
there will be discOrd worse COMPOUNDED.
In twelve the surplus will be gone, and the
treasury will be shining around to raise
The money necessary to detray the expenses
OF the government SO, with the vote of
Tuesday behind it, and hell itself before.
the Republican outlook is about AS reassur-
ing as that which faced the gentleman in
the fable, who found himself Detwixt the
devil and the deep blue sea.

We learn that the Pierce and
Torrey Investment Company, of
Orange county, operating a short
railroad which intersects the Tavares,
Orlando and Atlantic road near
Apopka, have made complaint to the
Railroad Commission, against the r.
O. Il A. for refusal to permit track
connection. The Commission hold
that under the amended law they
have the authority to require rail
roads to connect with each other at
functional points, and have deter
mined to investigate the complaint
referred to. Thursday, the Dist inst,
has been set for hearing, at Or
lando. One or more of the Commits
sioners will make the investigation
and report thereon to the full board.
1t strikes us that this is a move in
the right direction, not that we know
anything Of the merits of this case ;
but if the State charters railroads,
and this action is conditioned upon
beneficial results to the people, the
public ought to have the benefit OF
such facilities as expedition in trans
fer of freight at all functional points
where transfers are necessary to be
made. The amended law, as first
passed by the House, conferred upon
the Commission, in express terms, the
right not only to require track con.
nection, but to prescribe the condi.
tions, terms, etc. The Senate amend.
ment, which was adopted, eliminated
portion of the bill. But, as passed
the law seems to fully empower the
Commission to require the necessary
facilities for transfer Of freights.
The Georgia Legislature is after
the scalp of lottery companies and
gift enterprises. They have passed
a bill, by vote of ITO to II, to
make it penal for newspapers to
| publish advertisements for any such
scheme. Florida has such law, but
the sale of lottery tickets continues
thousands of dollars going out of the
State each month. This is very
useless law. 1t deprives the newspa.
pers Of many dollars worth of legiti
mate business and does not improve
the morals of the people one iota
nor does it hurt the lottery compa
MES. In reality it is big free ad
vertisement for them.

CONCLUSIVE TESTIMONY.
Boston Herald.


We beg to call attention of our ex-
cellent correspondent, Mr.. James
Leigh Woolson, who says that the
tariff was in issue last year in Iowa,
but was not in issue there the present
year, to this extract from the speech
of Senator Allison at Dubuque Just
before the election:
The issues this ycdr are the same as those
Of last gear. If there were good reasons
why the Republican party should succeed
last year, the same reasons hold good this
year Our opponents say in their platform
and on the stump that the protective tariff
is wrong. The vote in Iowa will be taken
as an instruction 10 its representatives in
Congress.
Senator Allison, it will be seen,
directly contradicts the position ia
ken by Mr.. Woolson, and fully con-
firms that of the Herald. And Sena.
tor Allison is supposed to be intelli.
gent upon the subject to a degree
that places him out of the range OF
correction.

A Gigantic Farmers Trust.

The organization of farmers into
Oranges, Alliances, Wheels, and com
binations by other names. has for two
years been going on at a much more
rapid rate than ever before. The lin.
it of the old Grange movement has
long ago been passed. These organ
izations now contain a membership
of a million, and movement is on
foot to consolidate the Oranges, the
Alliances, and all the other combina-
tons. An explanation Of this move
ment, as well as Of the aims and meth
DDS of each organization Gall of which
are secret), will be published in the
December Forum, by w. a. PETER,
of Kansas.

For the Public Good.

1t Is an indisputable fact that the hand.
soonest vestibule trains that are now run
on the American continent are those on
the Burlington route, leaving from Union
depot in Denver, also st. Paul, immediate-
ly on arrival of all through trains from the
west. The first and second class coaches
are magnificent, the reclining chair cars
suburb. the Pullman sleepers extremely
luxuriant, and as for the meals that are
served in those palace Burlington dining
crrs-yum yum. The next time you 20
east to Kansas City, Chicago or st. Louis,
If you mention to the ticket agent that you
want your ticket to read from Denver or
st. Paul over the Burlington route, you
will get it. and you will always be glad of
it.
If you go via the Northern or Canadian
Pacific, the elegant vestibule trains of
The Burlington Route, between st. Paul
and Chicago, or st. Louis will carry you
along the eastern shore OF the Mississippi
river for q distance of $50 miles, amidst
scenery that cannot be surpassed; or, II you
go via the Oregon Short Line or Southern
Pacific, and your ticket reads via The
Burlington Route from Cheyenne or Dem

A Pond Sinks.

Haw pond, about seventeen miles
east of Cordele, Ga, annually sinks
with roar every May, and in few
minutes every drop Of water disap-
pears. On Thursday about dozen
Cordelians left for the pond. They
carried fishing tackle in abudance
and spent a day and night CATCH
ing any number of the finest speci-
mems of the finny tribe. They met
about fifty others who had gathered
at the pond to fish and wait for the
water to disappear. Where the
fisherman dropped their lines to The
depth of ten feet Thursday night
there was hardly drop OF water Sat
urday morning. In aday the water
had disappeared completely. For
miles around the ground is said to
be unstable and liable at any mo-
ment to sink. Only few weeks
ago the bottom dropped out in one
place and now only the tops OF the
trees can be seen above ground.

A Good Word for the Scissors.

An exchange truthfully observes:
Some people. Ignorant of what coed
editing Is, imagine the getting up of
selected matter to be the easiest work
in the world to do, whereas it is the
incest work done on newspaper. If
they see the the editor with scis-
sors in hand, they are sure to say,
"Eh, that's the way you are getting
original matter, eh?' accompanying
their new and witty question with
an idiotic wink or smile. The facts
are that the interest, the variety
and the usefulness of paper de-
pend in no small degree upon the
selected matter, and few men are
capable of the position who would
not themselves be able to write
many of the articles they select. A
sensible editor desires considerable
select matter, because he knows that
one mind cannot make so good a
paper as five or six. A Z

Up at Castle Rock the other day

An entirely new "fad" has been
introduced into the millinery world.
1t is nothing more or less than a
patent collapsible bonnet. 1t is the
ingenious invention of an English
woman fired, in all likelihood, with
the laudable ambition to facilitate
the removing of her sisters headgear,
in public places. When worn, the
collapsible has all the appearance Of
an ordinary bonnet; on pressure Of
spring it folds up compactly, and
can be hung readily over the back
of a chair.

No Room for Him.
