AN UNACCOUNTABLE NEGLECT.

While the republican state COVER
tion was commencing all sorts and
conditions of men and measures, on
Tuesday, 1t seems unaccountable that
the dear old legislature of last winter
received no word of kindly remember
aDce, no suggestion OF commentator.
Their acts rest with people and are
only now and then referred to as me-
mentoes OF a past troubled bit of re-
publican party history. The effort TO
flch from the mesgre supply of school
money to enrich the sugar mills will re-
main a very long time in the memoir
les of the people green and vigorous,
and whenever the people are tempted
to entrust that party with power
again this troubled CHEST OF the past
will rise up and plague the republican
party, 1t would be difficult to imagine
a worse line of policy than was at
tempted bv that legislature at any
time, but more especially just at the
birth of the new state. We have many
people who we're last winter unable to
pay their taxes. These had to be re-
mitted. Notwithstanding the hard
times, the distresses prevailing the
poor were sought to be still further
burdened in order that the sugar mill
might have its margins cared for No
wonder the great republican party did
not dare refer to the legislature in the
resolutions. To have pressed the mat
ter would have been to fling a fire.

the sure result. Even the leaders of
the masses could see that while they
may have legislatures, in the future
that they may commend, that of last
winter was surely not one of them. It
was good thing that we had a south

Perhaps these republicans OF ours
do not care to stir up memories of
those actions and policies. If so they
do wise to not monkey with the last
Legislature. But how are they to ap-

thinking about it little. A man
