than Wilkinson Call elected to the
United States Senate, no matter
how honest or patriotic he was in
his preferences, is hereafter to be
treated as a traitor and knitted at the
primaries and in the conventions.
They mean that a cabal is to be
formed within the democratic party
of Florida with the avowed purpose
of controlling state affairs, monopo-
lizing the public officers, and rum
ing things their own way-Orlando

ITS MOTHER LIVES.
The DAILY FLoRIDIAN after very
gallant fight of sixth days suspended
publication last Sunday; it was q
splendid paper in every particular
and it's suspension caused deep re-
grct not only by the people Of Talla-
hassee, but many all over the state.

TRUTH WELL TOLD.
We regret to see the attempts of
the Times Union to berate and in
|jure Governor Fleming, whom it
sought so strenuously, in season and
out of season, to have elected to the
office Of Chief Executive of the State
and then by dint Of continuous pres
sure induced him to call an extra
session of the legislature in the in
terest Of Jacksonville. So far he
was a good governor, and very
"clever fellow" but now when he is
upheld by the people of the state and
honored for his faithful and honest
discharge Of duties, that paper would
have the world believe that he is
incompetent, because he declines
to do it's bidding, and virtually undo
what he was called upon to set in
motion at the time Of his Inaugural
ton. Somebody has changed, but
we do not think it is Governor Elem
ing, whom it is generally known will
: not swerve from nor shirk his duty
to please any man or set of men, any
party nor Acknowledgements.
FLORIDA's GREATEST NEED.
Florida's greatest need is men and
money. Money to develop her re-
sources and men to do the work.
Every settler adds to the taxable
value of the property Of the state, to
the volume of business of those now
here, and to the value of property
of present residents. The greater
the number of new corners, and the
higher the character of the improve
ments made by them, the greater the
increase in the value OF present prop
erty. Town lots are more valuable
than outside lands, not for what
they produce, but on account OF the
greater demand for that kind OF
property. The greater the number
Of people that congregate in town
or city, the greater is this demand,
and is consequently the higher the
price of town lots. The same rule
holds good in relation to lands out
side of towns. Enhanced values al
ways follow the flood tide of immi-
grafton. Low values always prevail
where there is no demand for prop
erty.-Orlando Reporter.
THE NEW TAX LAW.
The new tax law plays havoc with
the newspapers and collectors of the
state; it does away with tax sales,
and makes no provision for what pa
pers are to receive for publishing the
laid-over delinquent lists from the
comptroller and allows no pay what
ever to the collectors for making out
the triplicate lists of land unpaid on
; which the law requires him to do

THANKS, AwFULLY.
The DAILY FLoRIDIAN ceased pub
LEGATION last Sunday morning. 1t
made big fuss while it lived for it
, was edited with consummate ability
and pugnacity. Although it was
one of our most vigilant foes in the
senatorial contest, we cannot say
that we rejoice in it's death, for we
, took great interest in reading it,

, THE CALL PARTY.
The Call party wants governor
elected next year after their own
hearts also a United States Senator
in 1893 of the same stripe. The
Democrats of Florida should remem.
