THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

Voters should not loose sight Of the fact
that there will be no election in Florida
until November sth, the constitutional
amendment changing the State elections
from October to November having been
adopted at the last election, and now the
vote for county and State officers and
Congressman will he cast the same day.
Another thing should be remembered.
and that is at the coming election three
constitutional amendments passed by the
last legislature, are to be voted upon; the
first, accepting guarantee or surety COM
panles foreign or domestic, as surety on
official bonds; the second, authorizing the
Legislature to clothe the Railroad Com
mission with judicial powers in all mat
tiers connected with the functions OF lis
office; and the third, providing that upon
the'impeachment of any officer, he shall
be disqualified from holding Office until
acquitted, and the Governor shall appoint
a successor ad interim.
1t is evident that Forlda's constitution
needs considerable patching, as there has
not been an election held since its adop-
ton but that some change had to be made

THE TERMS OF PEACE.

The terms on which the United State
are willing to cease hostilities agains
Spain are officially stated to be as fol
lows:
/. The independence Of Cuba and tn
adjacent islands held by Spain.
2. The cession Of Portorico to the Unit
ed States.
3. A coaling station and one city In tn,
Philippine islands to be under the con
troll Of this government.
These terms cannot be considered hare
on Spain is view Of our complete victorle.
by land and sea. Unquestionably We
could have enforced harder conditions
but those which are proposed we think
are about the best for the honor and real
interest of our government.
The independence of Cuba, we suppose
contemplates the dissolution Of the island
from all the obligations for which Spain
has pledged Cuba as security. The amount
OF these obligations is estimated various
ly at from s30O, OOO, 600 to $50 100000. Spain
will have to attetd to then as best she
can.
The cession Of Porto Rico is to be made
In lieu Of money indemnity for the war,
as is also the cession of coaling station
and one city in the Philippines, Manila,
of course.
This is also happy solution. Porto
Rico is very important to use as strate-
gic point. 1t is also an island Of large
productiveness now and of immense pos
sibiities under our control.
BY securing coaling station and city
in the Philippines we gain great advant-
ages in the Pacific, and yet avoid the
dangers of complications In eastern diplo-
mocy. We will gain larger part OF the
trade Of those islands than ever, and will
have station for our navy that will be
Of great value to us. The future of Cuba
is left an open question by the terms pro-
posed. We are pledged to the establish
ment and maintenance of a stable gov
eminent. II Cuba cannot bring about
that result for herself, we will have to
accomplish It for her. At any rate, 1t is
practically certain that Cuba will soon be |
controlled by Americans, whether we take |
II or not.
VIII Spain accept the conditions which |
have been offered? |
II there is remnant Of prudence and |
common sense left in her craftsmanship |
she surely will The struggle is for her
more hopeless than ever, and the longer
she continues it the harder terms she will |
have to come to.
We believe that Spain will accept what
we now offer, instead of waiting for the
certainty Of worse things for her in the
early future.

JUST so.

Returning life and prosperity in Cuban
ports is happily likened by the New York
Journal of Commerce to a change that
occurs when section of the Colorado
desert Is brought under the influence of
irrigation.
The agricultural and mineral resour-
ces OF the West Indies and the Philippines
have been little more than touched under
a government that provides no roads,
that heavily burdens industry, and that
makes the preservation of peace and or
der impossible. The American business
man is already waiting in the waters of
Cuba for the warriors to give him the
dnancier is studying island maps as care
fully as the soldier is, and Is measuring
the need of fiscal institutions and means
OF transportation. Commerce is all ready
with its balm to heal the wounds Of war,
and the money that Americans will make
will not be made out of the people eman-
cpated from subsection to Spanish cap
tan-generals: 1t will be made by supply
Ing those people with the things they
need and assisting them to develop the
resources of their own countries for GEN.
turtles blighted by Spanish land pirates.
This prophecy is already seeing the first
fruits of its fulfllment in the rehabilita-
tlon Of the port at Santiago.

FLORIDA,S SUPREMACY.

Florida Is a wonderful State. 1t was
hurt for time by the freeze, but its va.
rious resources are bringing a wide range
Of development that In time will prove It's
seeming loss to have been blessing in
disguise.
Florida land will produce 200 bushels OF
sweet potatoes. worth say rs cents per
bushel, or $50 per acre; or 25 barrels of
white potatoes, worth a per barrel. Why
poor men will try to dig a living out of
500 land is most surprising. They could
own home in Florida, and in few years
bring 1t up in value to that of the highest
priced land in any other locality.
Come South, Young man. Don't welt!
Remember that land is advancing in val
ne, and that other people are finding out
the truth. Lingering means lost OPP
portunity.
Come South, old man. Get out of the
cold, death dealing winter climate OF the
Northern States, that kills old people be-
cause 1t keeps them housed up. Buy a
small piece of land, build simple little
house, with open fire-places to dry 1t out
in damp weather: plant big garden and
all the fruit trees you can; and raise pigs
cows and all kinds Of fowls.
Then you will live happily, comfortably
and with minimum of labor, IN a elm
ate which is delightfully."- pleasant, and
wonderfully healthful.

The most ptable feature Of the war is
the spectacle Of Sagasta and his cabinet
feeding the decrepit and degenerate Span
ish nation with broth Of falsehood In
the hope of imparting to it sufficient
strength to stand the shock Of learning
the truth. An American prime minister
who dished out false statements "for

WHEN DEATH COMES.

''In an Investigation covering over 3,G00 cases in relation to the hour of death," said a we'll known physician who has been himself student of the question, Git has been ascertained that the greatest number die between and 6 o'clock in the morning, when the death rate is over 40 per cent above the average; the next, during the hour before midnight, when thf rule is about 25 per cent in excess A third hour of excess is from to 10 in the morning, when the rate is about IS per cent in excess On the other hand, the death rate between 10 and 3 p. m. is 16 per cent below the average, the hour before noon being the most fatal. From o'clock until z in the evening the deaths rise to 5 per cent above the average, and then fall from that hour to Il D. m. From g to il o'clock at night there is a min imum of per cent below the mean average. The least mortality is be- tween 10 a. m. and o'clock in the af- ternoon, and the greatest during early morning hours, from to 6 cock Washington Star.
