A scheme for the Players to supplant th'

A Scheme for the Players to supplant the
Present Lea6de Clubs.
CHICAGO, September 15.-The Journal
publishes the details of an imI ortant move
on the part of the Brotherhood of Bsse
Ball players to secure control of tie nation
al game. The plan is to run the game on
a sOrs Of cooperative plan. It is proposed
to place the game in all the league cities
in charge OF general committee of eight,
consisting Of one representative from each
lesgue club. Each club will have 0 stock
capital Of $40, 600, some of which will be
taken by the players, and the rest by the
men who are to be officers and financial
hackers Of the scheme.
In this city there are already five appli-
cants for every dollars worth of stock,
ard the scheme has been only confidenti-
ally broached to bakers dozen of men.
One Of the largest investors here is Fred.
Pfetfer, who has accumulated about $40,-
600, and is in shape to take some chances.
Pieffrr, it may be added, will probably be
the manager Of the Chicago Club under the
new regime. The players are to receive
small but fair salary and a percentage Of
ths net profits. The receipts, after ell
expenses, including the players salaries
and percentages are paid, are to be put
into a pool and divided into eight equal
parts, one share going to each club. Ii is
hoped

That plethoric treasury is the fruit
full mother of extravagant expenditures,
is illustrated by many bills pending in
the present Congress. A few days since
bill to appropriate $685. 900 to erect a
monument, in the State of Maine, to the
memory of General Henry Knox, of Rev
dictionary fame, brought out the fact
that bills appropriating $4,000 were
now pending before Congress to erect
monuments, IN the several States, to indi-
viduals who have been prominent in the
country's history.
General Knox has a most enviable
fame. He was chief in command of
Wahington's artillery, and at the close of
the Revolution became our first Secretary
of War, under Washington. He was
trusted and faithful friend of the Father
of his Country, and, as such, occupies
bright place on the pages of American
history.
After his public career closed he erected
handsome mansion in Maine, where he
dispensed generous hospitality to Tally
rand, Louis PHILIPPE and other distin-
guished guests.
To rear monument to so brilliant
character, in the District Of Columbia,
would seem meet and proper. But where
does Congress get the authority to erect
such monuments in the several States
To what extent is this doubtful authority
to go? AS we have stated, bills apprc-
priatng $4,000, for monuments alone,
are now pending. If they become pre-
cedents, how many more are there of the
heroes of the Revolution, the war Of 1912
and the war with Mexico, as we'll as in
the late war, who are equally worthy Of
this distinguished honor? 1t can readily
be seen that this item alone will soon run
up into the millions. An overlooking
treasury invites every characrer Of ex-
travayaEce, and the people work and toll
and remain poor, to see their hard earn
ings squandered to prevent a surplus.
Would it not be better TO leave This sur
plus in the pockets Of the people
We think SO. The people think so

A VALUABLE SERMON.
Leesburg Leesburger.

The FLoRIDIAN last week preached a
long, but very valuable sermon to our
next Legislature. 1t urges that the sala-
ries of the State officers be increased, the
newspaper folks treated fairly, the cred
itors of the State paid promptly through
liberal appropriations-in short, it urges
the members of the Legislature to act
like sensible men of business, work sys-
tematica'ly and intelligently, and quit
INDUCING in that despicable parsimony
which shames both the State and the
democratic party. We trust the FLoRrD-
IAN will persevere in its homilies, for they
are likely to do good.

NOW THESE CONDITIONS CONFRONT US

What has The Railroad COMMISSION done Tor
| our farmers? We hear some complaint from
shippers that the freight to New York IS ten
cents more on the box than last year. The
Commission has. il seems, accomplished just
what The railroads desred-made it possible Tor
them to raise their rates. The shippers O. South
Florida are very indignant over the condition OF
affairs. -Gainescile Daily Record.
Brother Farmer readily drops into the
same perplexing error that has been the
source Of go much unjust complaint
against our Railroad Commission. The
Florida Commission has no more to do
with shipments from Florida to New
York-or from any point in Florida to
any point in any other State-than has
the Governor General of Canada.
AS has often been stated in these COL
umns, shipments from Florida points to
points in other States, are classed as IN
terstate commerce, and therefore come
under the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commission. That body alone
can regulate the rates for interstate traf-
fc, and those complaining of excessive
freight charges or shipments from Flori.
da to New York, should seek redress
from the Interstate Commission, as it is
the only tribunal having jurisdiction in
the premises, and therefore the only
source from which they can expect or OBJ
tain relief
The Interstate Commission and the
Florida Commission were created to pro-
tect shippers from excessive charges by
transportation lncs-to prevent unjust
discrimination in freight and assenger
rates against individuals and communi-
tics-and if the people would promptly
file charges against offending railroads,
and ask relief from the Commission, there
would be far less mplaint-unjust com
plant against the Commission.
To state the case plainly: The Com
missions were created to establish and en-
force Just and reasonable rates for freight
and passenger traffic They may pre-
scribe rates, but they cannot enforce them
without the cooperation OF the people
at least of those who suffer from unjust
discrimination or overcharges. Statutes
prescribe mode of procedure to obtain
relief The first step is to file complaint
with the Commission having jurisdiction
of the matter If this first step is never
taken there can be no hope for relief. In
short, if the people will not ask the Com
missions to help them they should not
condemn the Commissions. While these
conditions remain shippers have no Just
cause to feel Indignant. When shippers
have tried and failed to reverse these con
ditons, then they will, indeed, have inst
cause to he Indignant.

Another subject of legislation, far diff

vide for the proper publication of all the
general laws it enacts, in the newspapers
of Florida, or, at least in 10 or II week

public expense, and will enact strin-
gent prohibition against the sale or

its various forms to any person, or for
the use of any person acho is addicted,

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Among the suggestions that it is the
purpose of the FLoRIDIAN to present to
the legislatureeect, as to the several
subjects Of legislation which 1t will be
their duty to consider. are two which are
of paramount Importance, and which,
during the entire period in which the
Democratic party has controlled the
destinies of Florida, have never, as yet,
received recognition at the hands of
any Legislature.
The first is one that it seems strange
has not before been brought to the notice
of the lawmakers of Florida-the proper
dissemination of the enacted laws among
the people,
Up to 1885 Uhat year Governor Perry
had 1900 copies of the laws printed, and
1000 in 1879 it has been the practice
to print very small edition of the laws
barely enough to supply the various
