The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1892-04-02

began his delightful address by stating he
had observed that the programme had
named the day Florida's Day, which fact
had led his thoughts to contemplate state
pride, the pride and love of state, in the
fact that he recognized that pride Of state
was the basis of national glory, as illus
trated by our glorious country, for in the
cluster and union Of great states, such as
ours, there was stimulated this state love
which created q wholesome rivalry or
rather state emulation al to which of
them all should contribute most to the
glory of the whole, and make US, not only
in the eyes of the nations of the world
but really the greatest of them ALL
Now, said the eloquent gentleman, l
propose to see if there are no special rea-
sons why Floridians, whether to the
manor born or adopted, should be proud
of their lovely, sun-lit state.
His special theme was the uniqueness
of Florida among the magnificent galaxy
of her sisters; her uniqueness in history,
in geography and clima'e; her unique
scenery and her products. Your CORE
spondent has neither time, space or abil-
ity to follow the eloquent speaker in his
beautiful tribute to the state he so nuch
loves, and who could? But in reference
to it's scenery, he said we have no boasted
Palisades, such az make grand the ascent
of the Hudson; no angularity Of peak or
crags of mountain range, or smoking
crater; but landscape scenes that win the
heart and captivate the fancy. His de-
scription of the everlasting hills upon
and around which the Capital City sits
enthroned. was grand: the outstretching
miles of Paine's prairie, as first seen by
himself in 1850, at the early morning
hour, as the rising king Of day shone
aslant over the length and breadth, as
the meadow birds of every hue and form,
not equipped for loosting upon the tree

Florida were instructive and highly in
teresting, showing that her domain in its
early experience had been the scene OF
more deadly slaughter than perhaps that
Of any other state, and just had she begun
to rejoice under her entrance into the
sisterhood Of states, when darker cloud
than them all had arisen upon the horizon
of the South, and deadly struggle of
four years and half left her again strip
ped Of all. The speaker was saddening
the review. but presently burst forth in
triumph that after mans failure the God
of nations took the lead and turned all
the evil into good, and challenged the ad-
miration Of the world to our fair, beloved
Florida, in all her beauty of sunlight,
climate and recuperative power, and her
wondrous growth and multiplied re-
sources, products and means of comfort
in the great conflict Of life.
must stop; suffice it to say, for an
hour and more the speaker delighted his
audience.
Prof. E. Warren Clark was called upon
and made some very interesting remarks,
the programme was, as is almost always
the case on such occasions, somewhat dis
arranged by non arrival of persons en-
gagged and some articles necessary to the
evening exhibition, nevertheless the open
ing was much more encouraging than is
usually the case, and your correspondent
feels assured that the Suwannee River
Chautauqua is an established enterprise.
Great credit is due Professors Nell and
skipworth and the local people for this
Inauguration of an enterprise calculated
in all its parts to advance the intelligence,
religious sentiment and social status of
the locality where held and the state as
well. 0.

Who VIII Win.

The prize fight to come off in Vir>
ginia City September End. between
Ed Brady of San Francisco and Abe
Myers Of Virginia City is attracting
considerable attention and involving
the forfeit deposits of several heavy
bets.
Myers is quite an amateur in the
prize ring but he has been fortunate
in never loosing. 1t is said of him
that he never takes water till his
head forge!s to operate and he is put
to sleep. Ali the Virginia City
scrappers have been knocked out by
him, and he would hate to loose a
fight after such good record for
starter. Bets are thick that if
Brady knocks him out he will have
to do it up brown or Myers will
wake up again before ten seconds
have expired On the other hand
Brady is a scientific fighter and
hard hitter with avery cool head in
the ring and method of making it
interesting for his opponent. He
has record brought about by hard
fighting and a way of oGtgeneralling
an ant1uoniSt
Neither Of these men viii want
to give up the fight for trivial reasons
and one Of the best contests ever
witnessed in Virginia is promised
the audience. Brady will enter the
ring at 100 and Myers at 123 lbs.
between 9 and 10 o'clock Friday
evening.
Brady leaves for Virginia this
evening.
Piper's Opera House has been
turned into an amphltheater for the
purpose of this contest. The ring
will be pitched in the body of the
hall within eight feet of the stage,
leaving the stage seats the preferred
seats, but at the same time making |
each gallery seat moat desirable |
one. In short it will be a perfect |
ring, and everyone will think he got
the hest view. s*s7

Joe Goodman All Right.

| Joe Goodman was one of the con
testants for the Examiner prize fol
the best campaign songs. He wrote
one for each party and the Examine,
printed his ode to the Democrats,
failing to print his other contribu-
tions, which placed him in false
light.
The APPEAL prints his Hymn to
the Peoples Party, and this is the
poem which expresses the sentiments
of his heart:
Behold the grand, the fateful hour,
The day of combat is at hand
The deadly coils of corporate power
Have fostered on our happy land
Have fostered on our happy land !;
The life is being crushed from Labor,
The Workingman must bow his
head,
For if he only asks for bread
His prayer is answered by the saber.
Chorus
Rise, Countrymen! Press on
Where Freedoms last flag waves !
Reclaim your rights if ye are men,
Or be forever slaves!
Will We submit to vile aggression
While We have power to right the
wrong2
Your fathers fought at less Cypress
ion,
Are not their sons as brave and
Are no cir sons as brave and
trong=
As valiant hearts shall bear our flag
As stout hands turn from pillow
and forge,
Each stalwart man a new St.
George,
TO Stay this monstrous modern drag
Chorus
Wealth sits enthroned in lofty station
And lords it Ger the land and
We are no more an equal nation,
But only money-kings and slaves
But only money-kings and slaves;
Proud fortune trainples on Disaster,
The worker is compelled to toll
Within The hops or on the soil
And Weld his pittance to a master.
Chorus
They locked their gold up in the
They've robbed our silver Of its
right
They view o. suffering without pity
And profit by our wretched plight
And profit by our wretched pIi., III,
Let them bewars who've forced the
quarrel;
Men are not men when crushed
and poor
But wolf meets wolf at Famine's
door
These naughty lords should Iced the
moral.
Chorus
We seek no privilege attended
By wrong to others, or despites,
We ask, with toil-worn palms extend
cd
The restitution of our rights
The restitution of our rights;
We beg not with an eve that hinches,
What we demand of them we
dare;
God pity them if in despair
The calloused hand weapon clinches.
Chorus
re need not look tor reformation
To parties Opulence controls,
The one hope of alienation
Is in the frmness of your souls
Is in the frmness of your souls,
The fight may longer be or shorter,
But Freedoms cause is always
won;
Close ranks, there, grid your
armOr on,
And neither give nor ask for quarter

The Italians and the D. and w.

Sixteen Italians took the passenger Monday
evening for Omaha and Chicago. After the
train was we'll under way a UNION reporter
interviewed the motley gang for the purpose
Of ascertaining their views en- the Black Hills
and more especially in regard to their treat
Hfenr as eunpleyoo ON rheaCoad railroad. They
expressed surprise t, learn that American law
would allow any contractor to hire men at 4
distant point and faithfully promise steady
employment and regular pay for labor but
after the laborers had paid out their money
to reach the work, then wilfully break every
agreement and after the men had laborcd
faithfully for three months, ruthlessly turn
them of without a dollar. Referring to the
time when over a hundred of them came to
Crouch's Office to demand their pay, and they
were induced to return to work and wait one
week for the liquidation OF their indebtedness,
they said that the only pay ever received after
that was from one to three dollars each and
what had been agreed upon. Several men
in their anger and disappointment tore up
and destroyed their time checks, ranging in
amounts from thirteen to thirty dollars each
