Why, then, did Mr.. Ingraham not say in
his letter II have caused an examination
of the check list and found that there
were more votes declared in Ward than
names checked in the list; and, therefore,
being convinced that there was fraud or
laundering, return my certificate" 1t
isn't very difficult perhaps, to guess the
explanation. To have said this would
have amounted to a confession that
he had held on to his certificate as long
as he possibly could, and would have
deprived his act of resignation OF all
credit. Had he put in his letter the
facts which he subsequently disclosed to
the Advertiser the Democratic con-
vention could hardly have pointed
with pride to his prompt refusal
to accept Office when there was
a doubt as to accuracy of the
count. The question may be asked why
Mr.. Ingraham communicated the fact of
the check list examination to the Advertis-
er the next day, why he did not allow the
impression of his letter to remain. The
explanation probably is that Mr.. Ingra-
ham Uncommon with all the Democrats,
was good deal 'rattled'' on the day of
Mr.. RusselPs disclosures and was IL
clined to make clean breastof it.

Into the wide field of discussion opened
by the author the limits of this review
will not permit even an incursion. There
are many topics touched upon-the
school question, the ownership OF gas
and electric plants by municipalities,
state control of railroad and telegraph
| among them-that may not be considered
here. Not even an analysis of the work
is attempted. 1t has a charm that only
itself can convey. 1t is emphatically
thought-provoker. Suffice it to say that
the book opened reluctantly as task, is
closed still more reluctantly; and yet
with feeling of complete satisfaction,
as one rises from dinner of many cours-
es. It's incisive talk is informed by a
tolerant spirit well conveyed by the line
on its title page:
The Animosities are mortal,
But the HumaniteS live forever.
As illustrstion of Mr.. Gilman's thought
and style, as we'll as for the reason that
the passage is interesting even in de-
tachment, the following excerpt from the
third chapter of his work is sVbjoined.
He is saying that the moral and intellec-
tual qualities of this people are such as
to render extreme individualism and ex-
treme socialism impossible for it, and he
adds:
''The most superficial view of the
American character discloses the union
in living practice of the traits which
make the individualist with those which
| make the socialist. Self-assertive, but
kindly and sociable; indisposed to crate
about equality and fraternity, but ever
jealous of any affront to his manhood as
an equal citizen and voter, and ready to
give the most complete exemplification of
the brotherhood of man on occasiou;
politically conservative, but intellectu-
ally radical; pleased with his world, and
hating only can't but always ready to
see the self of today surpassed by the
self OF tomorrow, and moro prone to
bow in worship of progress than to prac-
tice adulation of a less spiritual deity;
| ready to discuss every proposal of
| change, but in practice shewdly intent
on the actual consequences of any pro-
posal; his motto apparently every one
for himself, but very able and very will
ing to combine with other men for COM
mon advantage; distinguished alike by
go-aheaditiveness and by sagacious cir
cumspection; disinclined to bow before
dignitaries not of his own making, whom
he can also unmake at pleasure, but
most ready to follow natural leaders; a
| realist of the realists in politics and bust
ness; an idealist of the idealists in his
visions of the future of democracy, sci
ence and art; alert for his private advan-
tage, yet publie-spirited in large de-
gree; specifically irreverent, but funda-
mentally convinced that he belongs to a
chosen nation and a peculiar Poop le-
the American is no mixture of incompat-
ible characteristics, but new type of
manhood. He is neither indivldualist
nor socialist, but very human combina-
ton of the qualities of both.''

A Tale Of Love and robbery.

II have just come from scene OF love
and robbery" said Otis Hewitt of New
York yesterday, ''Ib was an interesting
game, and my friend, who was the prin-
cipal. got the worst of it. There was
family party in the hotel at Jackson
vile, Fla, in which we were stopping.
The party was composed of man, his
wife, his wife's 90-year-old sister and a
child about 8 years old. My chuln was
very much smitten with the 20-year-old
sister and danced attendance on her In.
great shape--fowers, theaters, boating,
and all that sort of thing, you know.
Well, one night, quiet family game Of
poker was suggested, and of course he
was in for it.
"Well, after awhile the cards began
to come his way, and in one pot both he
and the young woman began to bet
against each other rather lively. His
hand was sure winner, and he kept
betting it. The brother-in-law and his
wife dropped out Then the brother-in-
law looked at the girls hand and said he
would back it for anything, and the bet
ting got more lively. My friend con-
sidered that as he was winning the
other fellows money, he needn't care.
After a while there was about $3.50 in the
pot and they were still betting. At that
point the child ran into the room, and
running up to the table stood beside her
aunt. Then the young woman said, oh,
by the way, this is Flossies birthday;
whoever wins the pot, let us give it to
her. Now, what could the fellow say?
He had to agree He won the pot and
withdrew gracefully, but it's safe to bet
that Flossie never gets the pot. It's the
coolest case of robbery ever heard Of. Z"

We have arranged elsewhere in conven-
lent form for comparison the utterances
of some of the benefciaries of Warden
Harpers miscount. They speak for
themselves so loudly and clearly that
little comment is needed. The first i'm
pulse of the Argus and of Mayor Ingra-
ham and Alderman Guptill was to be-
have decently but party pressure proved
too much for their backbones. Mr.. In
graham's turn-about was not SO sudden
as Alderman Guptill's, probably for the
reason that pressure was applied to the
latter first, but he made up
for the delay by the effusiveness of his
recantations On the eleventh of March
Mr. Ingraham was thoroughly disguised
and would positively refuse to be the
candidate, and four days later he still
declared that he was out of the race. On
the third of April, however, we find him
thanking Chairman Farnsworth and the
Democratic committee with feelings of
the deepest gratitude for wanting him
to again be the candidate, and five days
later we find him accepting the nomina-
ton ''with feelings Of etrausuag pride and
satisfaction"

The Eyes of q Ely.

How doth the fly detect the craftiness
of thine approach and the suddenness of
thine onslaught? Hast thou considered
those orbed brown eyes of his? First,
he winketh not, and remember that of
the 30 pairs of gladiators matched by the
Roman emperor, twas the two unwink-
ing swordsmen who survived. For no
briefest tick of time are the mirrors
of M. DIS (Musca donestica) sense
shrouded over. Approach him on the
right, and through 1000 six sided lens
facets he hath knowledge of thee. APP
proach him on the left, and thou art be-
trayed to his vigilance by another 1000
windows. If thou menace him from
above, he watcheth thee through three
skylights in the roof Place him on the
thirtieth meridian Of Mercator's projec-
ton, and shall he mot take in at one
glance the old world and the Americas
and starry creature of the zodiac over
head? reg
If thou be physicist, adapt one of his
myriad faced corneas, and with the help
Of microscope thou shalt multiply
guardsman into a host of lilliputians and
shalt enjoy civic illumination at the
cost of farthing candle. But not thus
doth M. D. take cognizance Of creation.
Rather doth he use his optical iustru-
ments in the fashion of manifold stere-
oscope, and picture to himself thewhole
ring of the horizon in q single flash.
That speck of gray matter" at the CEN
ter of his diminutive head is a magic
mirror showing the circumference of all
without. How he burnisheth those mar
velous eyes with the silken brushes ma
ture hath attached to his feetl-Good

There appears to be a significant dis
crepancy between Mayor Ingraham's let
ter of declination and his statement to
the Advertiser a day later. In his letter
he says that he resigns because he enter
tains doubt as to the accuracy of the
returns from Ward l. There is nothing
in it to lead anyone to infer that the
Mayor had examined the check list and
ascertained for fact that those returns
were actually incorrect. The impression
left upon the mind is that he resigned on
account of suspicion of inaccuracy.
And this impression is strengthened by
the comment of the Argus which &C
companied the resignation. That COM
ment negatived the idea that the check
list had been examined by saying
that the ''check list will be opened to-
day and examined" But from Mr.. In
graham's statement to the Adver-
tiser it appears that when Mr..
Ingraham wrote his letter the check
list had already been opened and ex-
amined, and that, too, at Mr.. Ingraham's
suggestion, SO that when he wrote his
letter he had absolute knowledge that the
count in Ward was inaccurate. If his
statement to the Advertiser was true he
could have entertained no doubt about
the accuracy of the figures of Ward !
when he wrote his letter; for he knew
absolutely from an examination of the
check list that they were inaccurate.

proven a false state

FLORIDA AT THE FAIR.

During the past few months the AGRI-

this subject, and it had what itcon sidered
good and sufficient reasons for it's silence.
When the Worlds Fair was first located
at Chicago, and in fact before that time
and when the Fair was first proposed
and before it had taken definite shape,
this paper urged upon the people Of
Florida the necessity of having COM
plete and representative exhibit, and
pointed to the advantages that would
accrue to the State and to the people of
the State from such an exhibit. When
the legislature assembled two years ago
it urged that body to make an appropri-
alton of not less than 100000 for the
purpose of collecting and arranging this
exhibit, believing, that although the ex
penditure of this large sum of money
