anything of intrinsic value could ge,
money to improve and cultivate his land,
build factories, roads, etc., and no one

heartaches of debt and poverty would

EDUCATIONAL. PROGRESS.

Florida's educational progress hae
been wonderful. And much Of the
excellence o; the present public school
system is due to the fine executive
ability and indomitable energy OF
Maj. A. J. Russell, state superintend-
emit of public instruction.
During the past decade the value
of school rites and buildings in Flor
ida has increased $4O7,Ssl.o7, and
the school machinery is kept moving
with the regulation of clock work.
1t now requires 2,64l teachers to
keep the public schools in motion,
and there are 2,34s school houses
some of them imposing edifices.
During 1891 Florida expended
4564, 3O4.65 for school purposes,
while in 1890 the expenditure was
$3.50 32.S0-tbe increase Of expen--
diture last year over the year before
being 447,771.95. 1t is also inter
essting to note that the counties
raised 90, 57s;s7 mors By taxation

did in 1890.

THE New York democratic state
convention was rouslngly enthusiasts
tic Monday and selected solid Hill
delegation to the national conven-
zion. The anti-Hill democrats then
met and decided to hold a conven-
ton OF their own at Syracuse May
81, when they will select a contest
ing delegation. This is all wrong.
There must be harmony in the party
or the democrats cannot win this

MOVING THE SHOPS.


There seems to be but little doubt
that the Florida Central and PENN
sular railway company will soon
shut down their Tallahassee shops
and move the men and machinery to
Fernandina, where they are building
new shops. Prominent and influen-
tial citizens of Tallahassee have urged
that this be not done, but without
receiving any encouragement, not
outstanding the fact that D. E.
Maxwell, general superintendent Of
the road, was born here and ought
to take an active interest in the wei.
fare of Tallahassee.
The whole secret Of the matter is
that Mr.. Maxwell aud other officials
Of the road own a lot of cheap lands
at Fernandina which they are anx-
ious to develop and put upon the
market at profitable prices.
There are but few houses in Fer
nandina that can be rented, and the
FLoRInIAN is informed that Mr.. Max
we'll and his associates propose TO
build cottages and sell to the en-
ployes of the road on the installmen,
plan, giving them bond for title
That would Immediately create q
demand for the adjoining lots at
good prices, and the officials Of the
road would soon have little boom
rolling around on their premises.
No one can blame them for that. In
these times it is perfectly natural for
every one to look first to his own
personal interests.
There is no good in grieving over
split milk. True the carrying away
of something like $4,000 month at
one swoop will for time cause de.
preston among the business interests
of Tallahassee. But if it cannot be
helped we must at once 60 to work
to bring in come other industry that
will take its place.
There is no use to sentimentalize
over the loss. There has for too
long been lack of energy and hustle
among our people. We must get to
work. The germs of dry rot and
die back have long been among US.
We must now cut out the disease
not a mere pruning, but dig it out by
the roots.
Let this be a warning. Instead of
sitting quietly with our hands folded
meanwhile letting other industries
slip away from US, let US put on a
squirt and induce many and varied,
small industries to be started here.
The way to do it is to frs. get an
other railroad northward, then pledge
ourselves to patronize every industry
that is started among US, ins tead Of
sending elsewhere to buy, at perhaps
a nickel less, what they manufacture
1t is Of vital Importance that there
be new vigor and a heavy charge of
energy and push fred into our PEG
pie. We must press the electrical
button hard and reapimate or at least
magnetic them into action. Then
will come an unlocking of the bank
vaults-for there is plenty Of capt. al
here-and Tallahassee will then take
on new life and grow into a busy.
progressive city, which it should have
been years ago. for there is no city
under the sun with more natural adj
vantages than this. 1t only needs
the key of energy to unlock the rusty
portal and let in the bright rays OF
q new era.

DR. ZELL AND THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.
A Narrative OF Theosophical and Occuit Inter-
est, by WARRKN RICHARDSON. Crown 70 ex-
ira cloth binding. Price, 81. L. Kabjs & Co.,
Publishers. New York
This is a psychological novel of peculiar
interest. Processing to deal with the
deepest mysteries Of occultism, it is at
the same time fascinating in incident
dramatic in it's situations, full of new and
striking conceptions and culminat's with
a daring denouement of great originality,
which seems to develop naturally from
facts and phenomena familiar to scien-
lists. 1t illustrates the influence of hid
den forces upon human affairs. Such
topics as Will Power. Astrology, Hyp-
notsm, Theosoph. Spirit Life, etc, are
interviewer with the plot and will add
greatly to its interest in the estimation of
the curious. Part Second contains what
has seldom been attempted in any novel
the details of life in royal palace of
Germany. The book is captivating as
tale of actual life, and is perhaps one Of
the most instructive and suggestive
works concerning occult mysteries ever
offered to the public in the form Of 70
nance. The style of the writer is pure
and felicitous. Premium lists (for liter
arg and art work. in connection with this
BOOK will be sent by the publishers on
application.
