SANGUINE M'KINLEY
The Other "Uncrowned King"
and the Speakership.
TOM REED IS HIS CLOSEST
COMPETITOR.

The Gallant Ohioan Major Pulls His Coat
OF and Pitches in to Secure the Big
fdent-Insite Facts Concerning the In
dorsement.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 0.-Congressman
Mckinley said to a newspaper CORE
spondent yesterday, with an air of posi-
tiveness, that he was going to be elected
81 eaker. Il have talked with sufficient
number of the members-elect to know
| who are for me and who will not vote
Tor me. | know the drift Of sentiment,
| and | believe it is in favor of my cleo
tion.'
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 10.-The
speakership contest, which has been in
a quiescent state for some time, has been
considerably enlivelel within the past
twentyfour hours by the active maneu-
vering Of Major William Mckinley. The
ma jor has discovered that standing
around a ID waiting for recruits is not
productive of favorable resuls, and ne
has pulled MS coat and proposes to win
out by his own efforts.
1t was for the purpose of inaugurating
an active campaign that Major Mckin-
ley trapped the republican members of
- 1.
Ebb.tt house, and there secured their
Dledges, with one conspicuous exception,
% The unqua fled support of his candi-
lacy. A ull meeti~g could probably
not have beel secured if it had not oeen
for the use of device.
In the di cussion last light the Nc
tHinley pro 3ramme was fairly outlined
Al estimate of noses gives rise to the
cpin on that the ma or s support will not
be a. g. neral as at first expected, and
that at this time Reed surpasses in the
number of supporters on the first ballot.
TIL S arises largely from the fact that
Burrows, who has been regarded as an
auxiliary in the fight to make Mckinley
speaker, has recently been seized with
an ambition for his own personal ad-
vancement beyond the position of chair
an that the support that was expected
as forthcoming from this quarter will
not ma serialize. In other words. Nc
Kinley will have to depend upon himself
and his immediate friends if he secures
the honor. The votes that were expected
to drift to him naturally and without
solicitation have not yet started in that
direction with any remarkable velocity,
and are Just As likely as not to be lassoed
by some other candidate,
The probability Of al extra session has
haste.ed the majors ol erations, ard for
this reason he has turGed lis supporters
loose with instructions t. drag in every
vote that they can put their Claws on.
II is means that the promises thev make

Death of Father Cole.

Mr.. A. N. Cole died in WellsvilIe, New
York, last week.
Mr.. Cole claimed the distinguished
honor of being the father of the Republi-
can party, he having called it's first con-
ventiOn and affected the first Organiza-
ton.
Aside from this Mr.. Cole of late years
has gained considerablenotority through
his connection with what he termed "new
agriculture" a system of sub-irrigation.
Speaking of this the Springfield RepubIi-
can says he raised vegetables that were re-
markable in size and flavor, but ascostly
as those his friend Mr.. Greeley used to
raise at Chappaqua, and in fact he lost
several thousand dollars of his own and
other mems money in the experiment."
Mr.. Cole came to Florida several years
ago, with the hope and expectation of
revolutionizing the ae aericulture of the
State. He Travelled about considerably,
delivered many lectures and put in a
plant OF his irrigation system in Mr. De
Lands garden at Lake Helen. The ex-
pertinent was by no means satisfactory,
as our porous, sandy soil required more
water than his pipes could supply, and the
cost of the system put it beyond the reach
of all but millionaires Mr.. Cole left the
State in a bad humor, claiming that he
was not properly appreciated and i'm
properly treated by the people OF Florida
However Father Cole has done his share
to enlighten the people of his day, and
we trust he has gone where ''the wicked
cease to trouble and the ritgheous are
at rest

How to Utilize Surplus Melons.

Fifty years ago when was boy and
sugar was not quite so common an arti-
Gle of use in our backwoods Missouri
home as it is now, my mother was accus-
toned to have made annually several
gallons of what we used to call wafer
melon preserves suppose it should
with more prOpriety have been called ielIy.
While | am unable to give full detail of
the process OF making, as a boy in and
about the kitchen whenever ANYTHING
unusual was going on, ! learned something
of it. Well ripened melons were selected
we always had surplus of them and
had not yet thought of marketine-and
their juice and pulp were rubbed through
a clear coarse sieve to remove all the
seeds. The watery mass thus obtained
was slowly boiled down to the consist
ency OF thick Jelly. Flavors to suit the
taste were sometimes added. 1t was
cooked IN the 'brass' or "copper kettle''
with which every wellregulated family Of
the period was supplied Perhaps the
porcelain-lined ware of to-day would be
better.
The above details are not full h1t with
the points given doubt not the native
ability OF our Florida housewives To mako
the best OF their resources, will aid tbom
IN formulating such details as may result

No Yellow Fever Expected.

The Associate Press sends out the fol
lowing from Washington:
Speaking of the possibility OF yellow
fever outbreak this year, DR.. Hamilton,
surgeon-general of the marine hospital
service, said to-day that up to the pres
ent time, he had not received even an in
timation of any susp cious cases in the
former yellow fever district, although OF
ficers of the marine hospital service were
under instructions to keep sharp look
out for the appearance of fever.
1t was July % that the first case ofyel-
low fever at Jacksonville was reported to
him last year.
"There is, however," said the doctor
''less danger of an epidemic at Jackson
vile than ever before, owing to the thor
oughness of inspection there, and the fact
that every article from which fever might
be terminated had either been burned or
fumigated." The marine hospital service,
he said, would not relax it's vigilance, AL
though no such epidemic as occurred last
year was anticipated. Reports from the
yellow fever districts showed the preva-
lence of dry and hot weather, but there
was much less danger from the weather
than heretofore, for the reason that there
had been great Improvement in the sani-
tary condition of the South. The i'm
provement was especially noticeable in
the larger cities.

men of intelligence and energy; with cap

and be quick and ready to profit by the

Immigrants Needed and Not Needed

OF course Florida needs immigrants-Of
a certain kind-but there is a class that
she does not need, does not want and
would be better off without. We do not
want those individuals who expect to sit
in comfortable arm chair AMI whistle
up prosperity like they would flee pup.
No, thank you; we have had, and still
have, enough of that kind. True,
we would not object to them particularly
if they did nothing but whistle land, of
course, whistle in vain) for prosperity.
but the trouble is that when prosperity
does not come when they call, they get
mad and blame the State and publish
their trials and tribulations in the col
umns of their ''home paper"-the Buck
eve Blowhard or the Empire State Whang-
doodle. The readers of these papers being
entirely unacquainted with the writer
and ignorant of t he truestate of affairs, of
course as humanity is creduIous, believe
what they read, and Florida consequent
ly gets a bad name
Yes, we want immigrants, butnot those
Who expect to whistle up wealth and hap
piness. Neither do we particularly hank
er after that arrogant, egotistical class
who know it all and have nothing to
learn. Why? Because in the long run
they are sure to fail and blame the State
with their failure newcomers always do
this). They are sure to fail, because the
soil, climate, agriculture, horticulture,
and in fact everything in Florida is differ
ent from that of any other section, and
however much they may know of these
things in the country from which they
came, they are as ignorant as a new born
babe in reference to Florida matters and
methods.
No, we don't want immigrants who
have nothing to learn.
We do want, however, and must have,
