THE FLORIDA DELEGATES
What Senator Call Says About Them and
How They We're Chosen.
Work of the Corporations in Their
SeIectiOn-NOt Hopeful of
Chicago.

Senator Call Of Florida, VINO arrived in
the city last night for short stay here on
business, is rather dubious about the four
alleged silver men elected as delegates to
Chicago by the Florida state convention
To Star reporter this morning Senator
Call said that the four men chosen were
not selected by the silver men, but were
the choice of the gold men of the conven-
ton. That fact alone, he considered, made
their standing the question somewhat
doubtful and uncertain. He could only
vouch for one Of the men elected, and that
man is Nat Walker. who is messenger
in the Senate through Senator Pasco
Speaking of the Florida convention Senator
Call said:
Tells How 1t Happened.
''The convention as originally chosen was
for silver by two-thirds or 1hree-fourths
When it assembled, however, the corpora
tions were strong enough to control it's
action. A tie vote was secured in the con-
vention by the gold men increasing the
vote Of Duvall county by seating a con-
testing gold delegation from Lafayette
county. This delegation was a self-con-
stituted one no convention having been
held to select it. The state convention re-
instruct the delegation in any way, or even
to request a statement of opinion from any
of the men elected as delegat teS to Chicago.
The silver men desired an expression Of
opinion from the delegates, but were un-
able to secure it. OF the eight delegates
elected four are pronounced gold men, and
the remaining four, except one, are doubt
full, although they are classed as silver
men. Nine out of every ten democrats in
Florida, as well as nine out of every ten
republicans, end all the populists. for
the free coinage of silver, and If the voice
of the people had been represented in the
Florida state convention there would have
been no doubt of the result, but the con-
vention was largely composed of represen-
tatives of corporations and railroads. per-
sons subject to the will of Milionaires
publicans. but really have no political faith
They, however, control the two largest
newspapers in the state
Senator Call said that Florida would not
vote for any candidate unless he was for
silver.
What do you think of the prospect that
Senator Teller may be nominated at Chi
cago?" he was asked.
Senator Teller" he replied. lis a capital
good man, and would make a good Presi-
dent, but as to whether he stands any
chance of being nominated at Chicago, /

DO You think the Chicago convention

Il cannot TELL" he answered, what the
result will be at Chicago Conventions dc

When asked if he expected a hard fight
for reelection to the Senate, Senator Call
answered: Yes, I'll have a hard fight.

Frank Mason, United States consul gen

The grand jury this afternoon returned
anct her batch of oleomargarne indict-
ms i. The parties indicted today were in
dicte.i some time ago for selling the stuff
as and for butter without having placed
thereon the label required by law. Today
they were indicted for selling it without
having first obtained the necessary license.
The parties are: Edgar Hogan, John L.
Gundling, Joseph H. Goodrich, Frank
Deutermann and Samuel J. McCauley.
District Attorney Birney stated today to
a Star reporter that he would tomorrow
proceed with the trials of those who stand
indicted for violating the oleomargarine
laws some twenty or more persons. They
will be tried before Judge Cole and the
rest of the present month will be devoted
to such cases, it being the intention of Mr.
Birney to try as many of them as possible
before the adjournment of the court for the
summer. Those parties who We're recently
convicted will not be sentenced by Judge
Cole until after the trials this month have
been concluded.

KANSAS. BIG WHEAT CROP.
She Can Export More Than Arrentin,
Produces.

CHICAGO, June 22.-After many vicissi-
tudes during the period of growth the state
of Kansas has produced an eminently satis-
factory crop Of wheat. From returns fur
nished from every county in the state in
answer to inquiries by the Post, the total
yield is found to amount to about AZ, 600. 900
bushels. That is about double the quantity
Produced IN the same state last year. 1t
also exceeds the average yield of the last
FIVE years, which includes the phenomenal
ly heavy crop of 1S!'2. AS the requirements
of the people of Kansas for bread and seed
are not to exceed 9OJo,0IW bushels per an
mum It follows that from her 43uO0,OoU
bushels crop of the present year she can
export to communities outside of her own
borders 81 100000 bushels, or about 10000
ucu bushels more than the total product of
Argentina last year, according to the latest
estimates

should be given into the hands of women
scholars.
The weakness Of the Stanton transla-
ton. or rather revision. Is that the au-
thenticity Of those passages which do
not "flt the purpose" are questioned,
and those which appear to confirm the
doctrine Of the political equality of the
sexes are given the ear-marks Of divine
authority. 1t is never right to draw
amusement from sacred things, but some
visers amuse in spite of all feelings Of
reverential awe one can call up.
For instance, certain men are con-
demned most severely for standing idly
by while a woman drew water for them
to drink, whereas, in fact, it was splen-
did exemplification of the doctrine of
womans right-her right to handle the
"sweep and bucket" and show her phys
ical If not her political equality
But 1t will be conceded that in innum-
erable ways woman has demonstrated
that in many of the occupations of life
she is mans equal, and no one should
deprive her Of a single right she has ac-
quired. All admit her right to practice
law and medicine, preach the gospel,
practice dentistry, engage In CONNER
cial and speculative operations, run bar
Der shops. hotels and saloons and en-
gage in every other kind of business oc-
cupation-everything, in fact, but prac-
tical politics.
But there Is one line of going and
coming which woman refuses to qualify
herself to master, and to know it thor
oughly is necessary to a proper appre-
citation Of practical political equality.
No woman can be made to see the pro-
priety Of her putting up for the theater
tickets. She would sit in the restau-
rant all night rather than take the
"pay at the counter check and settle
the bill, and as to Offering to pay car
fare, no one ever heard of her doing any
thing of the kind. Her escort is expected
to attend to all such matters.
But 1t would be only equality" If she
should turn escort and pay the bills in
cident to a season of amusement and
recreation. These are little matters. of
course, but political equality means
doing a mans part and paying bills
incurred by showing proper attention
to his best girl is the greatest burden
the young man of today has to bear.
Let political equality prevail, but let
us start in by woman's exercising her
right to let her own pocketbook provide
for the expense account of amusements,
restaurants and the like. At all evelNs,
let her alternate it with her escort. The
right to vote means the right to stand
treat, so to speak.
