The Tampa Times in its issue
of yesterday sums up the trans
actione between state Treasurer
c. B. Collins and the Merchants
Nat oral Bank OF this city in the
following pointed and pertinent
language:
1. TIE treasurer has been keep
ing large deposit Of public mon
ey in the Ocala bank contrary to
law. If il was really part Of the
tax certificate fund and could not
be loaned cut in accordance with
the law, it should have been kept
in the treasury vault at Talllahas-
see.
2. It is probable that a large
portion Of the $4,000 tied up in
the Ocala bank will be lost, as
even the treasurer admits that the
securities which he holds are of
doubtful value"
3. The fact that $4,000 of
state money was in the Ocala bank
when Mr.. Collins went into office
four years ago is no excuse. At
that time the financial condition
and reputation of the Ocala banks
were above suspicion. They were
sound institutions at that time.
4. The treasurer admits that
he has known of the unsound con-
dition CT the Merchants bank for
several months. The only con-
clusion that can be drawn is that
the treasurer has been risking the
states money to bolster up an TN
sound and tottering in stitutioD.
S. The plea Of Mr.. Collins that
the same misfortune had overtaken
a large number of state treasurers
IN the northwest IN recent years is
too weak and failacious to consider
seriously. Quite number of these
officials in other states have either
gone to the penitent;ary or Canada
n recent years, too.
6. Treasurer Collins practically
admits that he has done wrong
committed an error of judgment
and asks the people of Florida
to be patient and bear with him.
There is no doubt, Mr.. Collins, but
hat the people of Florida are
greatly surprised over recent de-
7elopments; and under the circum-
that they are justified in s
demanding further information in t
egard to the whereabouts of the :
'emalning state funds, which is
to be from $175.coo to :
100000. They have a right to r
Know where it is, and whether or t

drove into a quarry at Pemberton
The sled, horses and pleasure-seekers

broken, and with blood streaming
from their wounds, lay in great drifts

catastrophe. Latest reports say that

Justices Jagged.

To the Editor of the Optic
EAST LAS VEGAS, January 10Th, 1897
Your card Of inquiry at hand. ID
reply. I would like to call the attention
Of those Of our soloas who read The
OPTTC to some of the faults of our out
precincts justices Of the peace.
1t is quite the thing for justices, In
the back precincts to try all sorts Of
cases, that in any other country would
only come under the jurisdiction Of
district courts, such as land cases where
titles are involved, and others OF
similar nature, and the legislature
should see to 1t, that law Is enacted
whereby any justice stepping outside
bis Jurisdiction, to make few pennies
in fees, would be subject to severe
fine. A wholesome addition to the
law would be that where a. lawyer or
other person who through argument or
otherwise, took advantage of the ig-
norance Of such Justices, and in any
manner gave countenance to them
overstepping their jurisdiction, would
be subject to double such fine, and IL .
LAWYER, be dlsbarred from practice.
1t is a common thing for these
s.alcaldes" at the instance OF the
"Don" Of the precinct, to have any
poor .cuss' pulled up before them,
who may displease their lordship, or
who has shown signs of being in any
way independent of the dictates OF the
said "Don." In most OF these petty
prosecutions, there is no conviction,
but the defendant is invariably assessed
with the costs; otherwise, the alcalde
would not get pay for his services l
have no doubt but that there is moro
than one Of the present legislature who
is fully aware of the doings of the al.
caldes, in great many of our precincts,
and | sincerely hope that this little no.
tics will be sufficient for them to set
their wis to work on some good reme-
dy. Yours truly, H. E. BLAKE.

In the sena'e, to-day, Mr.. Frye,

Frye stated that there was no amend
ment pending in the senate, or any bill
that restored fogging 10 the merchant
marine. On the contrary, the amend
ment referred to, Gn the unanimous
opinion Of lhs, senate committee on

the existing law, to the sailor, against
the possible brutality of any master or
officer at sea.
The house amendments to the senate
bill for an examination and survey Of
