Comments of the Press.
THE PEOPLE UNDAUNTED.

The Times Union says: THE event of
Tuesday is one that will be memorable in
the history of Jacksonville. Ii is such an
event as occurs to most cities at some
period of their history, aud to which they
refer as the great fire. The fire fiend has
wrought terrible destruction in our city
before but never to compare with that of
yesterday. The fire Of Aug. 10, 1891, may
well take rank as Jacksonville's great fire.
Great as is the disaster that has fallen on
the city it is not sufficient to daunt the
energy of its people. They have risen
superior to every similar emergency
before. Above the ashes left by
former couhagrations there have risen finer
buildings than those they replaced. And
so it will be with Main street. The men
who have suffered most are men of indom-
liable energy, and some of them already are
preparing to rebuild. Before a year has
elapsed the now desolate section of the city
will have been rebuilt, and, as a whole. will
present a handsomer appearance than be-
fore the fire"
THERE IS NO SURRENDER.
The Standard says: ITO a brave COM
munity every disaster becomes a stepping
stone TO a higher and more honorable en-
deavor. There is no surrender In a people
who can sink for a moment under three
successive disasters as we have suffered
within four years past and, like Antenor,
rise each time from earth renewed and re-
inspired by the contact. The losses were
heavy Tuesday. Every true heart
especially bleeds for the suffering poor.
And If it shall be found that the disaster of
individual families warrants it we suggest
that the s25, 900 or $4,000 left over from
the fever fund OF 1888 be judioiously dis
tributed among those who are most needy.
Meantime, let us look upward and onward.
Brave men aud women never say die. A
smiling face is often, both for communities
and for individuals, hid behind frowning
providence.

zens styling themselves ballot reformers. Z"
The respondents were represented by Au-
gustine T. Smythe and j. ?. K Bryan. In
the answer the supervisor claims that the
books are now in the custody of registrar,
as required by law, and that he has no
power to allow their inspection by any,
body.
CANNOT BREAK THE SEALS.
The registrar, in his answer, claims that
the books are in his custody according to
law, and that the law does not permit him to
break the seals and open the books to the
inspection of any one.
The counsel for the respondents stated In
argument that the supervisor would gladly
open bis books if the court SO ordered it.
Judge Izlar took the papers. The case is
an important one, and the decision will

The major attempted to reply 10 the

for his position the fact that IN 1870
