Florida Nominations.

The differences of the Florida senators
| as to the proper men to fill the federal
offices in Florida are occupying a good
deal of the time of the Senate The nom
nations, as a rule, have not been salts
| factory to Senator Call. 1t seems that
Senator Pasco has the greater influence
with the administration, and has there
| fore succeeded in having his friends nom
! mated.
For some time the contest over the
nomination of George w. Wilson, for in
ternal revenue collector at jacksonville,
has occupied the time of the executive
| sessions of the Senate. Both senators
have friends among the republican as
well as the democratic senator's, but in
this contest over the Wilson nomination
Senator Pasco seems. to have the greater
number. The effort of Senator Call.
therefore, has been TO prevent vote on
the nomination.
Saturday the Senate had about decided
that a vote should be taken, and it would
have been taken and Mr. Wilson's nomi-
nation would beve been confirmed in all
probability, if Senator Lodge, of Massa-
| chusetts, had not read a letter in which
the private character of Mr.. Wilson was
| viciously attacked, Senator Pasco was
taken by surprise. While he did not
believe the charges were well founded,
nevertheless he thought it advisable to
have the nomination referred back to the
committee in order that they might be in
quired into. There was, therefore, tenn
porary victory for Senator Call The
Senate had consumed nearly six hours in
the consideration of the case and no con-
clusion had been reached
In Senator Hoar's opinion the charges
amounted to nothing He is reported to
have said that many of the senators were
liable to similar accusations He de-
clared that at least one-third of them
were said to be not free from guile in
their private life, another third, if re-
port was true, were addicted to poker
playing, card and stock gambling, and
the other third, or at least part OF them.
were suspected of doubtful manipulation
of election returns. AS these were, in
substance, the charges against MIR. Will
son, Senator Hoar saw no reason for hest
tation in confirming MIR. Wilson's nomina-
! ton.
If such is the view of senator's that one
of their own number entertains of them
it is difficult to see on what ground the
senators complain when newspapers
criticise them. The newspapers have
never said anything of them collectively
| as unpalatable as Senator Hoar has said.
1t would be interesting to know in which
third Senator Hoar includes himself Is
he card sharp, ballot box manipulation,
or simply an all-round bad man in private

Savannah's prosperity in his estimate of
her business men; THE Savannah mer-

the commercial and financial solvency of
his associates when comparing his city

far as it can be applied Mr.. Byrne was
especially pleased with Savannah's rail
way systems, the great steam highways
to every quarter of the country and the
local street and suburban railways. The
business interests of Savannah and Balti-

Byrne shows in his article by citing how
Baltimore men are interested in Savan-

Savannah, Americas and Montgomery
railroad came from corporations and indi-

Changes in the Wilson Bill.

The number and character of the
amendments to the Wilson bill which the
finance committee has agreed to are now
known The most important of them
We're mentioned in our dispatches yes
terday. The number is larger than the
/ public was led to expect from statements
senators have made on the floor of the
! Senate within the last week Compare
| lively few Of them, however, are of great
| Importance. The most of them are of
! character to command immediate ap-
prevail The important ones, however.
will provoke good deal of discussion and
justify the conclusion that unless the
bill is pushed vigorously from now until
a vote is reached the bill will not get
through the Senate by the middle of June.
The number of the amendments is about
| 400. There were fully as many amend
ments offered to the Mckinley bill by the
finance committee when that measure
was before the Senate The Mckinley
bill however, was not acted upon for
several months after the finance commit
tees amendments were presented. If it
takes the Senate as long to reach vote
on the Wilson bill as it took it TO reach a
vote on the Mckinley bill the Wilson bill
will not pass the Senate much before
October. 1t is believed, however, that
the Wilson bill will be pushed along much
more rapidly than the Mckinley bill was
There is much stronger reason tor
prompt action on the Wilson bill than
there was on the Mckinley bill. The
country is suffering from great business
depression and it is important that this de-
preston shall be removed as quickly as
possible. There was no such depression
when the Mckinley bill was under con
sideration
The democratic majority in the Senate
has been promising for weeks to push the
Wilson bill to a vote. 1t has done very
little toward keeping that promise. The
delay that has marked the course of the
Senate toward the bill has been ex-
planned, but the explanation is not a sat
factory one by any means. The
| attempt to put the responsibility
for the delay upon the finance committee
has not been wholly successful. The
finance committee's work is now, how
ever, practically ended, and the country
is waiting TO see whether or not the Sen
ate will go TO work theoretically to pass
the bill or will keep on dillydallying with
it all summer.
1t is clear that the sugar feature of the
bill is lar from satisfactory. The change
from a specific to an ad valorem duty on
raw sugar, while specific duty is put on
refined sugar, is not regarded with gen
eral favor. The change, it is declared, is
in the interest of the sugar trust, that
gets far more protection than it was
thought it would few weeks ago. The
trust has got far more protection than
the sugar producers. This condition of
affairs promises to be the source of a good
deal of trouble.
The senators, however, understand that
the people are not in frame of mind to
willingly acquiesce in further unnecessary
delay. Unless senators convince the pub
lie that they are doing everything it is
possible to do to pass the bill at an early
day they are going to hear some very I'M
complimentary things said of them.

Hank" Ives, young farmer of Bergen
county, New Jersey, is the author and
victim of kiss that is destined to become
famous through the medium of the news
paper paragraph. For it was kiss with
extraordinary results. The recipient was
his afhanced wife, and the kiss-the first
and the last, for the engagement was
forthwith broken-was the salute of true
love newly raised to the seventh heaven
by coy Eyes" The ecstacy, the Joy, the
power of the kiss cannot be described; 1t
can only be imagined, with the fact that
it drew gold filling out of the girls
tooth, as basis for mental calculations.
The after-clap came, wherein Hank" be-
came the victim, when the girl demanded
payment for the damage he had wrought,
and when he demurred, brought suit at
law against him.

Our dispatches this morning contain
the gratifying intelligence that the party
of tourists who, while exploring the sta
lactite cavern at Lugloch, near Gatz in
Syria, we're imprisoned by the sudden
rise Of water in the Subterranean stream
which runs through the great under
ground chamber, have been rescued alive.
They were imprisoned for a number of
days, and owing to the inadequate efforts
made to reach them it was thought they
would not be saved. The people in the
neighborhood of the cave seemed to be ut
terly unable to render any aid. Until aid
from distance arrived nothing practi-
cally was done to save the tourists from
horrible fate.

went into general dress reform move

suggestions made went through like shot

the sisters ought to part their hair in the
middle and brush the sides down smooth

North, from New York, sprang to his

North was right, and the deaeonesses
might frizz their hair all they pleased.

The Mary washington Monument,

The Mary Washington monument, to
be dedicated at Fredericksburg, Va, to-
morrow, is the only memorial of a
national character in this country to be
erected to woman by women. So far
as is known to the contrary, it is the only
monument to be raised under similar cir
cumstances anywhere.
Mary Washington, the daughter of Col.
Joseph Ball. was born in the county Of
Lancaster, Va, in 1905. Her whole life,
her character and her accomplishments
were summed up by her immortal son in
one sentence, when he said: "All
that 1 am, ] owe to my mother"
Mary Washington, then, was a
woman worthy of the eminent distinction
which the women of her country have
paid her, upon the testimony of that sin
gle sentence which speaks so full a vol
ume of praise and gratitude. And the in
scription upon the monument will be as
terse. MARY, the Mother o: Washing
ton, ;" win constitute the whole legend.
1t would be impossible to write one fuller
of meaning.
The history Of the monument has been
one Of fluctuations. In May, 1888, Presi-
dent Andrew jackson laid the corner
stone of a monument over the grave of
Mrs. Washington. and it was nearly half
finished when Mr.. Burrows, the gener-
Gus New Yorker who was furnishing
the funds to erect it, became
involved in financial difficulties and the
work was stopped. The pedestal had
been finished but the shaft and much of
the ornamental work were incomplete.
Year after year fitful and fruitless efforts
were made to revive the work on the
original plan. Meanwhile the marble
shaft lay on the ground crumbling into
decay. Finally it was resolved to aban-
don the original design and begin anew,
and the monument to be dedicated to-
morrow is the outcome of the wise con-
clusion The National Mary Washington
Memorial Association was organized by
women, the sum of $11 900 was raised
and plain white marble obelisk was
secured, fifty feet high and eleven feet
square at the base. This was set on the
site of the old monument in December
last and made ready for the forthcoming
ceremonial.
Some of the most distinguished people
in this country will take part in the exer-
cises of the dedication, among them
President Cleveland, Vice-President
Stevenson, Chief Justice Fuller, Justice
Harlan, Secretaries Smith and Gresham
and Mrs. Amelia c. Waite, widow of the
late Chief Justice Waite. Mrs. Waite
was largely instrumental in securing the
erection of the shaft, and WILL to a con-
siderable extent, share In the honors of
the occasion.

Each house of congress claims, under

of its own members. Numerous social
purity" organizations throughout the
country are sending petitions to their rep
resentatiyes in the House to have Col
Breckenridge fired out, if not at once, at
least in the event of his reelection. It
begins to look somewhat as if the Ash
lind district Of Kentucky is disposed TO
think Col. Breckenridge is being perse-
cuted; and to resent the persecution. In
the event Of his reelection, it will be IN
