A SPOTLEsS NAME.

The appointment of Hon. r. 81.
M. Davidson to the vacant United
States senatorship seems to meet
with almost universal appreciation.
OF all the honOred and illustrious
names which have been considered in
connection with the senatorship
there are none which are nearer the
great heart Of the people of Florida
than that lofty statesman who for
fourteen years has been a bold and
able advocate Of democratic principle
and democratic doctrine and meas
ures in the halls of congress. His
constituents have always been en-
abled to point with boundless pride
to his spotless name and honorable
career. Never did his voice fail on
any great question that concerned
the interests and honor of his state
to utter words of counsel or to com.
bat what he knew to be false. With
Davidson as our senator, the Cover.
nor made no mistake. The appoint
ment will still the voice of faction
and close up the ranks of democracy
in every county. In all essential
elements, manliness, courage and
ability he is the peer of Mr.. Call and
he enjoys, both at home and in
Washington, much larger meas
ure of popular favor, popular conf.
dence and popular esteem than Mr..
Call does. Therefore he receives the
appointment under the most favor
able auspices and if the senate, in
considering the contest, shall rigidly
construe the state and federal consti-
buttons Mr.. Davidson must and will
be seated.-Dade City Democrat.

TWO GREAT FINANCIAL PROB
LENS
LENS.

The two questions of primary i'm
portance in the financial world, Of
course, are these:
l. How can the banking system
be continued at the expiration of the
United States bonds, which are held
as security for their circulation
and
2. How can safe elastic currency
be provided for which shall give the
country a greater volume of money
at one time than at another, but at
all times make every dollar as good
as gold dollar?
Mr.. Michael D. Harter, member of
Congress from Ohio, who for the
last twenty five years has been a
private banker as we'll as a large
manufacturer, and who, therefore,
has studied these questions from the
poins of view both of the borrower
and of the lender, has for many years
been at work upon plan which he
now gives to the world as solution
of both these problems. He would
allow the present national banking
system to remain, substituting for
United States bonds, state, munich
pal and railroad bonds Of undoubted
character, and he would so provide
for the establishment of state banks
alongside of national banks as to adj
NIT of the issue of just such volume
of currency as the business of the
country requires. Incidentally this
plan would have many advantages
apart from it's main purpose. For
instance, it would exert strong in
fluence upon the management of rail-
road, state and municipal debts to
keep their bonds in sufficient stand
ing to become security fopcurrency.
Mr.. Harter has contributed a full
statement Of his plan to the October
number of The Forum, after having
it to the criticism of a large
number of the best students of finance
in every part of the United States.
1t is plan that will certainly arouse
discussion from one end of the coun-
try to the other, and one that it's
friends confidently expect will
sooner or later be adopted.

THE "DEPRESSION'' OFLDLENESS.
One of the most suggestive and
interesting of the papers which have
been called forth by the present agi-
tation with regard to the condition
of our farming population is that on
Agricultural Depression and Waste
OF Time," contributed by President
David Starr Jordan, of the Leland
Stanford, Jr., University in Caliror-
MIA to the October Forum. Presi-
dent Jordan maintains that agricul-
tural depression in this country is
due chiefly to the idle habits of most
of our farmers. He cites as an illus
tration of this theory his experience
one day when the train in which he
was travelling stopped at little
station in Indiana called Glover
dale:
ga commercial traveller, dealing
in groceries and tobacco, got off a
crate of live chickens was put on and
the cars started again. The stop.
ping of train was no rare sight in
that village for it happens two or
three times every day. The people
had no welcome for the commercial
traveller; no tears were shed over
the departure of the chickens, yet on
the station steps 1 counted forty
men and boys who were there when
the train came in-farm boys who
ought to have been at work in the
fields; village boys, who might have
been doing something somewhere;
every interest of economies and es
thetics alike calling them away from
the village and off to the farms. Two
men attended to all the business of
the station. The solitary passenger
went his own way. The rest were
there because they had not the moral
strength to go anywhere else.
They stood there on the station
steps, embodied ghosts, dead to all
life and hope, with only force
enough to stand around and cape"
President Jordan regards this
state OF affairs as typical of that
which very generally prevails in
those farming districts where de.
preston" exists. He finds only one
remedy for it, and that is industry.

A FIRsT-RATE APPOINTMENT.

Editor Latimer G. Vaughan of the

vice:
The democracy of Florida should be
striving to heal every sore and reconcile
every difference, for next years fight 10
going to be a memorable one. II will be
life and death struggle between the par
ties. The republican party, with the CAPT.
talists, the manufacturers, the trusts and
monopclis behind it, will fight for pro-
lection, for measures that will Increase The
wealth of the rich and the poverty OF the
poor. The democratic party, with the
toilers, the wage-earners, the oppressed Of
the nation behind it, will fight for "tarif
for revenue" for lower taxes, for the abo-
lition of trusts and monopolies, for the
equal rights of all men. The democracy
of Florida should be prepared to 90 into
the struggle with firm hearts and solid
ranks, and 90 conduct themselves that
when the fight is over it can at least be
said that FLORIDA fought nobly."
