The No Fence Question.

If the advocates of no fence law
will cease their agitation and de-
mands for a general law of this char
acter, covering the entire state, and
direct their efforts in securing local
option laws for their respective coun-
ties, they may accomplish some good,
otherwise not.
We feel certain that no Florida leg
islature will ever pass a general no
fence law. The state is too thinly
populated-too large a portion Of it
is devoted to cattle raising-too much
of the land is unsuited for anything
but grazing to make such law de-
sirable or just, and finally the voting
strength of the cow boys is too
strong to make such law even re-
mote possibility.
Local option no fence laws, how
ever, we think could be passed. These
laws would of course give to the coun-
ties the privilege of voting on the
question of fences or no fences-and
the minority would of course submit
to the majority. In fact the law and
it's enforcement would follow closely
the form of our present very excellent
liquor local option act.

Forest Preservation.

A popular topic of discussion with
the 'industriaP' journals is the wealth
of Florida as represented by her pine
forests. The vast extent and excel
lence of our timber is expatiated upon
at great length, and fine openings for
mill men and the lumber industry are
cited. The lumber industry is in fact
already one of the leading industries
of the state, and it is likely that the
value of the exports of the forest
products as represented by lumber,
railroad ties, turpentine and rosin, eX>
ceeds largely that of any other prod
uct or crop.
At the same time it must be re-
membered that pine forests are not
made in day, and that although our
timber land is extensive it is by no
means inexhaustible. In this connec-
ton. too, there are several economic
points to be considered. In the first
place with the destruction Of the for
est passes away one of our chief
sources of wealth. But even this is
not the worst. The destruction OF
the pines means radical and dan
gerous climatic change. This princi-

One LITER Pardoned by Death-POst-
mOrtem on the Remains

o. o. Dahl, who. in 1898, murdered his wife
on farm near Donnelly, this state and was
subsequently sentenced to prison for life,
died there Friday evening from a complica-
tfon of troubles, chief among them being
heart disease. He had been ailing for some
time, but was able to be around until a few
hours before he died. Dahl was a Scandi-
navian ard soon after coming to Minnesota
from the old country, surprised his neighbors
by hanging his wife. He acted strangely at
times after coming to the prison here to
atone for his crime, and Warden Wolfer
came to the conclusion that he was mentally
unbalanced. After his death a post mortem
was held and several adhesions of the brain
were found. Relatives have been notified of
his death, and If the body isn't claimed it
will be forwarded to the state university.

Senator Harris, but resolved before

semble Immediately after the concIu-
sion of the obseQuies, and continue
their work, not only tonight, but all
Jay tomorrow. The decision to sit on
Sunday was not reached without some
hesitation, but was decided upon as
necessary to expedite the reporting OF
the bill
While the major portion of the time
OF the conference so far has been given
TO senate amendments over when
there is comparatively little dispute,
there has been more or less discussion
of some of the more difficult PROB
lens. and one of these is the form Of
the reciprocity provision of the bill.
The advice of the president has been
sought upon this question, and 1t IS
understood that he has expressed HIM
self as favoring a policy allowing con-
siderable latitude. and based upon
liberal principles.
The senate representatives accept
this intimation as favorable to their
substitute for the house provision, as
the house paragraph is restricted to
certain articles, while theirs is made
capable of covering the entire field Of
foreign commerce allowing a discount
Of 20 per cent, permitting an increase
of the free list, and delegating author
ity to assure foreign countries that
anv article named will be retained on
the free list for five years.
OF the senate amendments passed
upon, the house representatives have
conceded about three-fOurths. This
course they find necessary, because Of

much more deliberately by the senate
than by the house. They say the house
itself would have made many amend
ments if more time had been given.

PLACES FOR REPUBLICANS.
Three Hundred to BE Taken Out
of the Classified Service.

of the classified Service.
WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The presi-
dent and members of the civil service
commission have hade a number of
conferences recentlynion the question
of revision of the ciyil service rules,
so as to exempt certain important
places which wereslii Included in Mr..
Cleveland's. last extension order. A
final determination, however, has not
been reached, but 1t is Altogether prob
able that about 500 plaees will be TAX
en- out of the classified service. These
will include deputy collectors of Gus
toms, who are in charge of substa-
tions and deputy collectors of internal
revenue who have charge of the dis
tribution of revenue stamps. There
are approximately. 150 of the places In
each class. 1t is not, proposed, how
ever, to exempt the places from ex-
animation. Contrary~h to the usual
course, tentative appointments will be
made as needed, and the. appointee will
then be ordered before the civil ser.
vice commission for examination TO
test his fitness. In case of failure to
pass a satisfactory examination. his,
name must be withdrawn, and an
other appointment made. 1t is argued
that the positions, which it is pro-
posed to restore to the excepted list,
are of great Importance. and that as
the duty of these offices is often far
removed from the chief, who is re-
sponsible for their performance. he
should have some voice in their selec-
ton. The bonds furnished the govern
ment by collectors of customs and COL
lectors of internal revenue cover all
funds passing through the hands Of
agents and deputies, and it is con-
tended that it is unjust to hold a COL
lector responsible for the honesty of a
man of whom he knows nothing. 1t
is probable that the president will take
action in the matter within the next
few daYs.

the japanese minister, late this after
noon sent to Secretary Sherman his re-
ply to the note of the secretary of state
written in answer to Japan's original
note Of protest against the Hawaiian

minister answers in detail the conten-
uons of the secretary of state, and
at some length Celebrates the position
taken by Japan against the treaty.
The note was sent after full communi-
