SILvERITES PLEASED.

1.-THE next Congress will be free silver
Congress; this is an absolute certainty"
Congressman Box (Dcm.) Of Tennessee,
before the committee on banking and cur
rency Of the House, on the occasion Of
Secretary Of the Treasury Cages hearing
on his new financial scheme.
The free silver advocates Ia Congress
are much pleased at the stand taken by
Secretary Gage as regards the admins
tration's financial policy. With the Chief
OF the Treasury Department -staunchly
advocating gold standard, they say II
will be impossible for the Republican
leaders to straddle the question on the BIZ
metallic plank any longer.
1t Is quite evident that Republicans
like Senator Wolcott OF Colorado, who
make speciality Of bimetallism, regard
Mr.. Cages utterances much In the same
light. They may well feel as II the ground
was falling under their feet 1t is not at
all surprising that they should bitterly
resent this suicidal Republican Disregard
Of the most important pledge In the Nc
Kinley platform.--So. Fla. Sentinel.

A PROPHECY.

The Florida Railroad Commission Just
as Commissioner Day prophesied, is Great
ing an era Of better feeling In Florida by
explaining to the people that Florida rail
roads do not control the making Of rates
between interstate points, and that the
Commission itself cannot fix such rates.
Much OF the clamor for Railroad Com
mission emanated from politicians whose
success depended upon fostering a harsh
feeling on the part Of the people toward
the roads. The best proof Of the more
harmonious spirit is shown In the Tampa
and Ocala sessions Of the Commission. At
neither one of these important shipping
centres was single complaint made

FARM STATISTICS.
WHAT WESTERN FLORIDA Is PRODUCING TO
FEED AND CLoTHE IT'S CITIZENS.

WHAT WESTERN FLORIDA ID PRODUCING TO
FEED AND CLoTHE IT'S CrrIzEys.
Mr.. j. w. Lurton, division freight and
passenger agent Of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, has inaugurated o
new feature into the work Of his Office
which will prove Of great value In pre-
senting Western Florlds's claims Of prog
ress and In proving to the Outside world
that here indeed can an energetic farmer
thrive and accumulate wealth. This new
plan Is to gather, through the various
agents at stations along the line Of the
Pensacola and Atlantic division, statis-
tics Of the farming and fruit growing In
dustry.
These statistics for the season OF 1867
have Just been compiled. They do not
include any report from Escambia county,
only the counties beginning at Santa Ro-
sa and ending at the Chattahoochee river
being Included. The compilation is based
upon reports received from the railroad
agents at Milton, Mulat, Gait City, Hollis,
Milllgan, Crestview, DeFuniak Springs,
Ponce de Leon, Westviiie, Chlpley, Cot
tondale, Mariana, Grand Ridge, Sneads.
These reports show totals as follows:
Cotton-Marketed and shipped during
the three months beginning Sept. 1 and
ending Dec. 81, 1897, l4,2Oa bales, shipped
as follows: to Mobile, 7,OOl bales; to New
Orleans, 5,742 bales; to Savannah 1,4eO
bales.
Sweet Potatoes-Acres planted, $500;
produced, 157, 800 bushels.
Melons-Acres planted, 400; produced,
20 carloads.
Sugar Cane-Acres planted, 755; pro-
duced, 1000 barrels OF syrup.
Corn-Acres planted, 4O.62O; produced,
400, 500 bushels.
Peanuts-Acres planted, 1885; produc-
ed, lis, lis bushels.
Fruit Trees-Number OF trees: Peach L.
800; pear, 2,975.
Sheep-Numbei OF head, lie, 600; pounds
Of wool produced and shipped, $4,000.
The corn and sugar cane industrys are
both In their infancy, very little attention
having been paid heretofore to either crop
Our Corn Fair last year seems to have
accomplished a wonderful work. The
crop produced last year, 4O6,5OO' bushels,
is not bad for an infant industry. West
ern Florida's corn crop this year will I'M
doubleday be much larger, for nearly ev-
cry planter will increase his acreage.
Western Florida will have corn to sell
In lS9S.-Vensacola News.

This proposed amendment is In conflict
with the spirit of the constitution as 1t
now stands, especially in its relation to
the election of senators. 1t was the In
tention Of the trainers OF the constitution
to remove the senate as far as possible
from popular clamor. The senate was
designed to represent the states and the
house the popular opinion of the country.
In the senate every state, without regard
to population or territorial extent Is
equal. The states have, each and all,
equal privileges equal rights, equal pow
ers and equalrepresentation In the branch
Of the national legislature that stands for
them. The senate was created expressly
TO protect and preserve the rights OF the
states from federal aggression.
The senate has voice. in all legislation
the concurrence Of both houses Of con-
gress being necessary to the enactment Of
any law or public measure; but 1t has
functions peculiarly its own, such as the
exclusive right to confirm or disapprove
all appointments to public Office made by
the president, as well as that Of ratifying
treaties with foreign nations.
Evidently the provision for extending
the term Of representatives to four years
was put into the pending bill to strength
en- It In the lower house Of congress.
While the amendment would make the
election OF senators popular 1t removes
representatives further from the influence
Of popular changes. 1t is thus both a
radical and conservative measure and
will be weaker before the country than a
simple proposition for the election Of sem
ators by the people. 1t is difficult mat
ter to amend am the constitution Of the Unit
of any amendment OF the organic law re-
Quires not only two-thirds majority Of
each house Of congress, but also ratifica-
OF the amendment by the legislatures Of
three fourths of the states, an act that Is
accomplished with difficulty except un.
der the influence of some great public
feeling or excitement.
It is not at all certain that the bill to
submit the proposed amendment will pass
congress, and II II should, the chances are
decidedly against its receiving the neces-
sary endorsement by three-fourths Of the
states.
In spite OF the noise which has been
made over this matter, II Is probable that
we shall see no change In the method of
electing senators, and that representa-
tlves Will still be required to come up to
the rack every two years.-Atlanta Jour
nal.

A MACHINE STOMACH.

Swiss scientists have at last succeeded
In removing the stomach from dyspep-
tic and by attaching the alimentary ca
nal to some sort OF pocket grist MILL
have permitted the digestive operation to
go on Just the same. This invention will
be hailed with delight by many besides
dyspeptics. The sea-faring man will
hereafter leave his stomach In cold stor-
age In New York or Liverpool and frisk
about the deck on machine made nour-
lshment with no fear of that dizzy, gush-
ing and explosive feeling which is the
terror Of so many who go down in boats.
The club man will use the machine for
the prosy, pleblan work OF digestion, and
save his stomach for the poetry OF the
flowing bowl. Then he can take drink
after dinner just as well as before, and
have tank all to himself instead OF vast
Ing wine In his breadbasket. In hun
dred ways the world will feel the benefits
Of this scientific achievement. The busy
man can let the mill grind on while he
works, the boy can with IMMUNITY eat
mlnce pies made out OF Nightmares, and
good housewife will worry less over her
household cares when she knows she is
only cooking for machine. And who
knows but that In little time. with some
improvements, cooking can be wholly dis
pensed with and the machine operate on
the raw product direct. Then the hired
girl problem would be solved and the
whites would be free. With such an
equipment the tramp could extract nour-
ishment from straw stack, work his
starch factory in potato patch, and be q
king In cornfeld, We could use coal In
our heaters and there would be no stove
wood for him to see or to saw. Every
side Of life would glow with new mean
ing, and the summer girl could, hitch on
to an ice cream freezer and have gallons
of gladness where she had only pints and
gills before. Welcome the machine The
world be Swissed. -Bede's Budget,

COMMON SENSE IN EDUCATION.

Pupils are conducted through many
"ologies" and introduced to many 'isms''
but they are not will grounded in the
three or four primary matters Of an Eng
lish education. A boy or girl who has
learned to read and write and spell. with
a knowledge Of arithmetic and geogra-
ply, is better prepared for a university
education than boy or girl who has been
dragged through an endless array Of the
so-called higher studies In the common
school.

President Mckinley recently appointed
a central committee to solicit aid for the
Cuban sufferers. The committee wrote
to Governor Bioxham to know what
might be expected Of the people of Flori-

that he would appoint every Mayor In
the State to receive contributions, and
asked the committee to name point In
Florida where the donations would be re-
ceiyed by them.

Governor Bloxham has ruled that where
Sheriff Of county arrests criminal

for whom reward has been offered, and
the arrest is made In the county, the
Sheriff Is not entitled to the reward, since
1t Is his duty to arrest every offender

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The popular demand for the election Of
United States senators by the people
which has been expressed In resolutions
adopted by various tate'legislatures and
conventions, both Democratic and Repub-
lican, finds recognition In bill which
has been reported by the house committee
on the election Of president, vice-presi-
dent and representatives in congress. This
bill provides for the submission Of a con-
stitutional amendment which provides for
the election Of senators by the people and
changes the term Of members Of the house
OF representatives from two to four years.
