rhin-sklnned Legislators.

The resolution adopted by the lower
branch OF the Florida legislature the other
day shows that the members of that body
are very sensitive to criticism, and that
while they are glad 10 have the newspapers
commend all that they do and say they
propose to muzzle, if they can, those papers
which venture to say anything they don't
like. The substance of the resolution is as
follows:
| Whenever it shall be reported upon this
| floor by any member that he has been mis-
represented, misquoted. untruly criticised,
his integrity in the performance of his duty
! questioned or his motives impugned by any
newspaper to whose representatives and
| correspondents have been extended the
courtesies of this floor, aud who may have
availed themselves Of the same, then such
representatives or correspondents shall be
| elected from the hall of this House and ex-
cluded therefrom until the House takes
proper action in the premises.
This resolution, it will be seen, is not
aimed alone at the correspondents. Its pur-
pose is to control the editorial utterances of
the press. IL a member is criticised In Q
newspaper in way that doesn't please hs.n
he can get revenge by having the CORE
spondent Of that paper elected from the
House.
Do the members of the House think the
resolution wise onel Are they so afraid
to have their speeches and actions presented
to the public, as others understand them,
that they try to muzzle the pressl
They may say that they do not intend to
be misrepresented as long az they have any
power to protect themselves. But do they
not misrepresent, maliEn and abuse one
anothers Do they expect the press to be
free from faults while they themselves are
so vulnerable2 How many of thcn during
the present session have made statements
which they were not able to substantiate9
Have not some of them made remarks
which have led to blows? And yet because
the newspapers make mistakes or criticise
sharply public officials the press is to be
muzzled.
What will the people think Of legislators
who are afraid to have their conduct dues-
toned or differences drawn from their words
and actsa Will they not wonder whether
something is not being done at Tallahassee
of which the legislators want to keep the
people ignorant9
1t is doubtless true that the newspapers
sometimes make statements which are not
correct, and it is also true that their COM
ments ara not always just, but in the main
they get things about right, and, besides
the people are quick to detect statements
which are purposely false and comments
that are for an improper motive.
Under the resolution member can pun
ish newspaper which has dealt with him
honestly, though not in a way that he
would like, because on the floor of the
House a newspaper has no chance to
be heard And is member of the House
any more likely to be just and fair and
truthful than newspapers The members
of the House will find that they have not
raised themselves in the esteem Of their con-
stituents by their attack upon the press.

Kansas is now having her chief struggle
with a sensational Missouri Sunday paper
published at Kansas City. Very few weeks
in the average year transpire when Kansas
hasn't a tussle of some sort on hand. But
the suppression of this particular publica-
ton appears to give the great Ingalls, potato
state more pestiferous perplexity than any
question the state has tackled for quite a
spell As the state has no coutrol over the
United States mail nor the express COM
panies traversing its territory, shu tting
out the Objectionable publication is no easy
matter. But the legal authorities are con-
centrating their best efforts upon the I'M
dertaking just as if it were the drafting
of new constitution or the refunding of
the state debt. While the publication is
described to be sufficiently disreputable to
excite general Reproduction in itself it has
also proven so persistent as to somewhat rile
the officials. So they want to squelch it
mighty bad. To that end they have gone
to the length of enacting a statute and in
voking the courts and locking up its cor
respondent. But he got out and bobbed up
serenely again, and now the fight is started
afresh. To see the whole official retinue of
a sovereign state arrayed against one OBJ.
scure weekly publication is just a trife
ridiculous.

Offended the Lord.

English lords are not frequently taken for
cowboys. says the Chicago Tri6nue, but yester-
day one titled gentlemen and two other members
OF the best-known families in England were
looked upon as such rough customers that the
clerk at the Transit house at the stock Yards in
duced them not to take rooms.
Yesterday morning Lord F. A. K Bennett
brother of Lady Dalhousie, who died so suddenly
recently while on the ocean; G. de S. Hamilton
and Malcolm Moncrieffe, all of London Eng
gland, reached the stock yards from the west on
STOCK train. The three Englishmen for sew
eral months had been living free and easy life
on their ranches on the Little Powder river in
Wyoming, and, attired in their mud-stained
SUITS nigh top-6oots, blue flannel shirts and
wide sombreros, did not look like representa-
tives of the nobility They Immediately made
their way to the Transit house and sought a lit
tie warmth near the office stove
Mr. Moncrieffe, in relating the reception of
himself and friends, said they had no sooner
seated themselves in the office than the clerk
made 1t his business to practically tell them to
move on"
ut was rather a cold reception, but we re-
gard the affair as huge joke" laughed Mr.
Moncrietfe when seated in apartments at the
Rlchelieu yesterday. THE guests at the Transit
mousse are not all swells, and did not think the
house was particular about the appearance of
its patrons. However, the clerk evidently
thought we were rough characters, for he i'm
mediately came out from behind the desk and
inquired If we wanted rooms AS We desired
TO change our attire before coming down town
we informed him that we did.
We'll you will have to pay in advance was
the information the clerk extended.
But, my dear fellow, we don't know how
long we may stay said Lord Bennett.
The clerk said that didn't make any differ
ence. He Immediately went behind the desk
again and held most earnest conversation
with another attache of the house. This other
man then came out and said to us:
"'There is another good hotel down street
little way
" But cannot we have rooms hereY inquired
Lord Bennett.
IAN the rooms are occupied was the reply
well guess I'll go and stop with my
friend. Mr. Bemis remarked his lordship.
"'You are a nice Hooking lot OF fellows to
stop at the Richelieu, said the fellow, laughing
as he glanced at our western makeup.
1--WE came here, nevertheless
The three EngiShmen regard the occurrence
as good joke, and if they have time say they
will pay their respects to the Transit House
clerk when stirred in their tailor made clothes
They are on their way to England, and will
leave Chicago this afternoon.

Toughs who failed to raise the amount of
admission to modest Pittsburg circus did
not give up all hopes of seeing a show. They
immediately proceeded to inaugurate a
circus on the outside almost equal to the
visible attractions within. Cutting the
guy-ropes of the tent and firing bricks
through the canvas was the sort of amuse.
ment that suited their taste. But it came
to an abrupt end by the impolite intrusion
OF the police. Incidentally they set fire to
the tent and stampeded the audience who
had paid to see the show in which the
toughs had no part. Now the only reason
for referring to such an incident as this is to
say that in order to reach fitting conclu.
sion of their frolic these ruffians who i'm
periled the lives of so many women and
children should each and severally be sus-
pended with scientific nicely from the end
of a rope.

Blair's Chancea.

Ex-senator Blair, who is not wanted in
China, says that he does not intend to
hang around" Washington much longer.
Does he mean that the President shall I'M
derstand this as threat? He has been ex-
pecting that the President would offer him
another place, and he is becoming impatient
at the Presidents delay. And it may be
that he is not entirely dependent upon the
President for an office
The labor organizations resent the action
Of the Chinese government in refusing to
receive him as the representative of this
country, and some of them are talking of
him as a suitable man for a workingman's
candidate for President
Indeed, the attention Of the proposed
third party may be directed toward him.
He no doubt has good many friends
among those who are engaged in starting
new party. And Mr.. Blair is not so much
in love with his own party or SO grateful
for favors he has received from it as to refuse
anything so tempting as a presidential
nomination of a new party
Perhaps it is this talk which connects his
name with presidential nomination which
moved him to say that he does not intend to
lang around" Washington much longer.
The President may make a mistake if he
does not give his attention to Mr.. Blair at
once.

Chilean naval officers at Acapulco are
said to have given Capt. Remy to under
stand that if the Charleston should over
take and attempt to capture the Itata he
would have to run the Charleston over a
possible trough in the sea after the Esme-
ralda had gone down. That is pretty bold
talk. 1t certainly sounds aggressive. Judg-
ing from that we may very naturally ex-
pect pretty lively "scrap" when the three
ships get into Chilean waters and the
Charleston is reinforced by our Pacific
squadron and the Esmeralda is Joined by
the whole insurgent feet of Chile. Quite a
desperate fight may be expected If the
American cruiser should fire on the
privateer. For those insurgents are des-
perate men and hard fighters, while Uncle
Sans tars have actually been spelling for
a fight for several years

He Was KIND.

In the waiting room of the Pennsylvania
depot the other day, says the New York World,
was middle-aged man with fresh weed on
his hat and quite a number of people must
have whispered to themselves that he had
lately lost the companion of his joys and sor-
rows. Among those who observed him closely
was a man of about his own age, who mad five
or six parcels on the seat behind him, having
evidently been doing considerable trading.
After few minutes he walked over to the other

To all appearances there is no doubt
the Maryland young man who recently at
tempted to kill his wife in the mountains of
Wales was demented. Every one who knew
anything about Duncan prior to his depart
ure seems to concur in the general opinion
that he has been insane and irresponsible for
a number of years Therefore it is all the
more surprising that his relatives should
have allowed him to go about unrestrained.
They are measurably responsible for the
crime he has committed. Only for their
negligence he could not have had the oppor-

Dissatisfaction at the prevailing tendency
to curtail the reproduction of the human
species has induced the president of the
French Academy Of Medicine to offer quite
a handsome prize to every wife who shall
register the birth of healthy child dur
ing the year to come. That is laudable
variety of encouragement which might ad-
vantageously be introduced in some of the
larger cities of this country. Restricting
the increase of population in the wsy re-
ferred to is certainly against the best inter-
ests of any nation.

Another Factor in Ssvannah's Trade.
The Albany, Florida and Northern rail
ROAD promises to add greatly to the volume
Of Savannahs trade. The line extends
from CordeIe to Albany. At Cordele it
connects with the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery railroad, which connects with
the Savannah and Western, thus giving
Albany a rail route to Savannah which
is seven miles shorter than any other be-
tween the two cities.
The Albany, Florida and Northern passes
through the counties of Dougherty, Lee,
Worth and Dooly, having a population as
follows: Dougherty 1920, Lee 9 ,054, Worth
10, 1874 and Dolly $4,000. The area of these
counties. which is very great, is partly occu-
pied by well-to-do farmers and partly by
virgin pine forest. Albany, the initial
point Of the railroad, has a population of
1000, and is the center of the most produc-
tive cotton growing section of Georgia.
Its annual receipts of cotton amount to
60, 900 bales.
The cotton receipts of Savannah during
the next cotton season can hardly fail to be
greater than those of this, if the cotton crop
should be a good one, and her main lines of
railroad will have all the freight they can
conveniently handle, owing to the number
of new short railway lines tributary to
those that have been built recently, and
others that are projected. If Savannah
merchants show themselves equal to their
opportunities and make the most of their
advantages, the volume of Savannah's trade
will be greatly increased within the next
year or two.

The Itata Incident

The public is gradually losing interest in
/ the Charleston's pursuit of the Itata. The
impression is gaining ground that there is
very little probability that the chase Of the
Itata will be successful. and that the gov
eminent is not particularly anxious that il
should be.
The statement was made in our dispatches
yesterday that the Itata had enough coal to
last her for ffty-four days, and that she is
able to travel twelve miles an hour. If that
statement is correct she will be in Chilean
waters before the Charleston can overtake
her, ami under the protection of the insur-
gent navy.
The pursuit of the Itata is fully author
lied by international law, because she had
been seized in an American port for vio-
lating the neutrality laws, and when she
sailed out of the port of San Diego to take
on board from a vessel awaiting her outside
of the harbor a contraband cargo a deputy
marshal was on board Of her and con-
structively in possession OF her. Under the
circumstances the Charleston would be
justified in seizing her in a Chilean port,
but it is not probable that she would do so
even if she should succeed in finding her.
And if she should attempt to do so there is
not much doubt that she would meet with
resistance. The insurgents could not afford
to let the Itata be seized without firing a
shot in her defense. Such course would
do their cause incalculable harm.
If the insurgents should attack the
Charleston they would incur the active hos
tility Of this country in all probability, but
1t would be better for their cause to take
that risk than 70 permit the Itata to be taken
out of a Chilean harbor without opposition.
1t is important that they should keep up
the courage of their Adherents, and pursue
policy calculated to keep them united and
harmonious. To weakly surrender the
Itata would cause discouragement, produce
factions and invite defeat.
But this government doesn't want to be-
come involved in the Chilean quarrel. 1t
only wants to convince the Chilean govern
ment that it did not wink at the violation
of its neutrality laws. 1t could have rested
safely on its seizure of the Itata, but it
thought it the wiser plan to show more zeal
in defense of its neutrality laws than would
be apparent if it made no effort to retake
the escaped steamer. 1t therefore sent the
Charleston in pursuit of the Itata, but it is
pretty safe to say that the Charleston's in
structions do not require her to press the
pursuit to the point of risking battle with
the insurgent navy.
