Charged With SWindIingD
A WELL KNOWN FLORIDA CAPITAL
IsT IN JAIL AT ATLANTA.

A. Z. Drought, the Florida cap
italist, charged with berg a COM
mon cheat and swirdler, will not
be tIied in Judge Bloodworth's
court this afternoon, says the At
lanta Journal OF yesterday.
The case has been transferred
frcm the justice court to the Grim
inal branch cf the city court. An
accusation was sworn out in the
latter this afternoon.
No bond has yet been fixed, but
he prosecution will insist on its
being a very heavy one. Eady &
May fsld have employed Col. w. T.
Meyers to represent them in the
case. Colonel Movers was seen
this afternoon by Journal report
er and said:
"My clients have not begun
prosecution for the sake of secur-
ing settlement. They are going
to push the case to the bitter erd.
The trial will probably take place
at tie next term of the city court"
Drought was appointed receiver
of The Florida Midland Railway in
1891. Three years later he issued
$4,000 worth Of receivers certif-
Gates by order cf the United
States Court. He sold $4,000
worth of them to Eady & Mayfeld,
receiving therefor $500 in cash and
about SI,6co in papers. In March
1896, the road was sold and the
receipts were sufficient to pay
little more than the court costs.
The holdersof the certificates were
left out in the cod.
When seen a. the Ill by a Jour
nal reporter this morning, Drought
said:
Charges have been made
against me which are utterly
groundless. Ihave got my defense
ready, and I'll rtfute anything
the prosecution has to offer."
When asked if he intended
bringing suit for damages, he said:
That's looking forward too fast.
At present l am anxious to get
cut Of my trouble. 1t will be time
enough then to talk about damages.
l will say, though, that they've
got to prove the charges made
against me"
Drought's friends in Atlanta are
at work in his behalf and may Sc
cure bond for him today.
Drought refused to Ia k about
his career as president of the kis-
simmee City Bank, but referred
the reporter to Edgar Oliver, a
broker at the corner of Marietta
and Forsyth streets. Mr.. Oliver
said:
81 have known Mr.. Drought for
fourteen years and have always
found him a model man in every
respect. During eight years that
l lived in Florida l had many deal
ings with him, and all were per-
fectly satisfactory,

MEXICAN PROSPERITY.

The calf worship ping goldites dur
ing the last campaign pointed to
Mexico as frightful example of what
would befall this nation if we should
be so utterly lost to reason as to car
ry the election for free silver and
cheap money.
Chas. F. Lummis in Harper's
Monthly gives description of Modern
Mexico which is good food for
thought. He is able to live without
free silver and is opposed to cheap
money. Through various tours he
spent years in Mxico and is familiar
with every section Of the republic.
He is particular to state that the
present condition Of Mexico is such.
'1n spite of cheap money" which
leads us to infer that cheap money is
the direct cause of the unprecedented
prosp perity of that country.
He states that every hamlet of l(O
Indians has it's free schools,
industrial schools are abund-
ant, each capital city has its free
model schools and every city has
tion is compulsory, as here, but while

but one language the children Of
Mexico are compelled to study 10th
Spanish and English. He says that
the city Of Leon with $4,000 people is
a great manufacturing city with al
most numberless factories, but not
one bank. He further says:
Educated Americans are far more
ignorant of Mexico than educated
Mexicans are ignorant Of the United
States.
They do not send to any country an
ambassador who would be lost there
without an interpreter.
The fact remains that yOnder des-
pissed country is making a develop
ment as wonderful as sudden.
While we have been achieving a ma
terial development she has wrought
the political and social miracle OF the
century.
Within less time than has elapsed
since our civil war invented million
aires Mexico has stepped across as
wide gulf. From state of anarchy,
tempered by brigandage, she has
graduated to be the most compa ct
and unified nation in the new world.
Today Mexico is. and l say it delib-
erately-the safest country in
America. Life, property, human rights,
are more secure than ever with u.s..

THE ASTER LILYS SERMON

(Written for The Representatives.
The Easter Lily bowed its head
In shame, in bitter shame.
1t knew the bells that sweetly tolled,
The organ peels that grandly rolled,
Spoke not the Masters name.
1t knew that pride and love Of form,
For shame Alas, for shame
Prompted the song and service grand:
That wealth here spent.o every hand
Was spent-not in His name.
1t knew that He who rose this day.
Who suffered death and shame,
Knew no such pomp and lavish show,
But with the poor, the meek, the low,
Had linked his lot and name.
The Easter lily dropped and died,
For shame, for bitter shame.
To think that such poor puppets
shows
Should mark the day when Christ
arose,
Should be held in his name.
They cast the withercd blossom out,
And the thought to them never
came,
That the lily that hung On it's wither-
ed stem
Had preached sermon, unheard by
them,

A new character surprised the House
on Monday last, while the tariff bill

Populist from Nebraska, free and
easy speaker: who dealt in Scriptural
quotations, and attacked the ad-
ministration of Cleveland tiercely. He
was accusing the Republicans with
trying to befool the farmers through
high tariffs on corr, wheat and other
products, which we're not imported,
when several Republicans sought to
overcome his argument by questions.
He was asked by Mr.. Mitchell. OF
New York: "What relief do the Popu-
lists propose for the farmers?"

ARE GETTING POORER
The United States Indulging in
''Bargain Sales"
While Our People are Naked and Hungry,
Millions of Dollars Worth Of Food and
Clothing is Tlaughtered to be
Sold Abroad.

The official reports always give the
lie to the confidence operators among
the politicians and the commercial
agencies.
The monthly statement Of the ex-
ports and imports of merchandise,
gold and silver from and to the United
States during February last, issued by
the bureau Of statistics shows as fol-
lows:
Merchandise exported $79,773, 39s.
Merchandise imported, $50, 193,o6S (of
which nearly 1913, 100000 was free Of
duty)
Gold exported, 1886, ,697; gold import
ed, $5i4, 100; silver exported, 81 $50, 362
silver imported, 1862, ,943.
AS compared with February, 1896
this statement shows an increase OF
about 5000, 600 in the value Of mer-
chandise exported, aud a decrease Of
over $3.250.O00 in the amount import
ed. Eor the eight months ending Feb
ruary 90, there was gain Of over $132,-
in the amount Of merchandise export
cd and a decrease Of nearly $l19, ,0LO, 900
in the amount imported.
Just think Of it! The poverty of our
people forced US to increose our "bar-
gain sales" over two million dollars,
and to buy three and a quarter mil
lions less than in the same month the
previous year.
The figures also show that we sold
go, 900, 900 more Of goods to foreign
countries in one month than we bou' t
from them, or at the rate Of $240, 200,

What do we get for that immense
sum?

''The People Foolishly Think That
Mckinley Will be Able to Tap the

During the campaign Mckinley
himself promised that he would open
the mills, and his supporters, Puck
among the number, solemnly assured
the voters that his election would be
followed by prosperity. Panic was
certain inevitable ii Bryan were
chosen, but if Mckinley won the
wheels of industry were at once to be
set in motion, business was to become
profitable, values were to rise, labor
was to be in active demand at higher
wages, the unemployed were to have
work, and the money stored in vaults
and other recesses was to come forth
abundantly and find its way into the
hands of all. Yet the very journals
and persons who gave those promises
now deride the people for expecting
their fulfillment. The farmers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, and wage
earners are cooily told that they are
men for Mckinley meant what they
said. Citizens who believed the
promises and voted accordingly are
not brutally informed that they were
the victims of bunco game, but are
lampooned for their creduality. The

frankly tell them SO. Will they be
