Baltimore, August 27.-A company with s2,O0O,0OO capital has been formed to reclaim the famous Florida Everglades.

Among the direc- tors of the company are I. R. Parrott, vice-president of the Flagler railway sys- tenn, and James E. Ingram, land commits sioner of the same railroad. It is under stood that the company is to begin opera tions immediately, under the title of the Florida East Coast Drainage and Sugar comnanv.

LET THEM COME HOME


From the MODlle fteBlSleT.
 The two volunteer regiments of this state are close upon @ state of mutiny regard ing the further service in this war. The officers of the two regiments favor a con- tinuance of the service, but nine-tenths of the men of the First regiment and one third of the men of the Second regiment wish to be mustered out The men have joined in a round robin to the president of the United States, asking that if the services of the regiments are not wanted the men be mustered out. It is under stood that this form of appeal is adopted because the officers have determined to punish those who make a demonstration in favor of disbantonment, and the men are able to hide the identity of the leader of the demonstration by use of the round robin.
 Under the circumstances 1t seems to us folly to try to hold the men in the service. They want to leave, and they will not do any good work if they are retained by force. The usefulness of the regiments is destroyed because the esprit du corps is gone.
 For our part, while we would gladly see our regiments employed for the whole pe- riod of the enlistment, if they should un. dertake the service willingly, we see no good in persistence where unwillingness Is manifested. There is no demand for the service now that peace is in sight, there arc plenty of men left to do garrison duty in the islands, and the country needs Its young men since the business boom is oh once more. We second the appeal to the president. Let the boys come home!

The Peace Commission.

The peace commission, to the number of five, is completed by the acceptance of a place on it by MT. Justice White. He was a member of the senate when he was ap- pointed to the supreme bench by MT. Cleve- land. Like MT. Justice McKenna, he is a Leo XIII, and he is a democrat, and a native of Louisiana, where he now resides His views upon the more important ques- tions that will come before the commits sion has appeared in print concerning his views, but it is reasonable to think that fifth man was selected who would act with his American colleagues An anti-expan- sionist would, in fact, create discord in the American delegation.
 The other four members are expansionists first last and always. Secretary of State Day is perhaps the most conservative of the four. He undoubtedly represents President McKnley's views, and the presi- dent is believed to favor the retention of Luzon, and to secretly desre the holding of the entire group of islands. Whatever President Mckinley desires Secretary Day will certainly favor.
 The other three members are good Ameri- cans of the most pronounced sort. There are no ifs or "buts,'' in their American ism. The best and strongest of the three is Senator Cushman K. Davis, chairman of the foreign relations committee. He lives way up' in Minnesota, but he is nevertheless an American of the John Ty- also of the foreign relations committee, is also fo the foreign relations committee, is also jingo, and Editor Whiteaw Reid is another. The iingoes are well represented in the commission, and they may, in fact be the whole of It.
 A good deal is said in relation to instruc- tions prepared by the administration for the guidance and control of the commits sion. The instructions will doubtless, be liberal enough, but instructions do not go far with such men as Messrs. Davis and Frye. They know more about the ques- tions involved than the instructors. They are not men who need instructions. How every, they were daily last week at the white house and the state department and it may be case in which commissioners and instructors are blended beyond dis tinction.

 We have Hawaii. Suppose the scene of the worlds activity and commerce shifts to Asia and Africa? It is not an improba- ble thing. Then think how inestimaby valuable would be the Philippine islands, With the long coast line of California-the richest coast in the world-with Alaska away to the north. and Hawaii to the south, what a valuable possession these islands would be.
 "lf we do not hold the Philippines now we may have to buy them back in thirty five or fifty years at cost of blood much greater than has been spent already"

BOOKER WAsHINGTON,s PLAN
From the Baltimore Sun.

iUnI lHe bdILImOre Sun
 What seems to be practical suggestion for the improvement of the colored race in Porto Rico and Cuba, says the Milkaukee Sentinel, is made by Booker T. Washing ton, whose work at the head of the Tus- kegee Institute has attracted such favorable attention. He proposes to receive a num- Der of the brightest young negroes of both sexes from Porto Rico and Cuba at Tus- kegee and give them the same industrial and normal school drill that is doing so much for the southern negroes who attend the institute. To defray the expenses of receiving these new pupils he thinks that $50 apiece will be sufficient for both travel ing expenses and years tuition.

THE POPULAR PRIMARY
From the AnnistOn Hot Blast


 The Huntsville Mercury is of the opinion that Governor Johnston will advocate a law governing primary elections in this state at the next session of the legislature, and then have the senatorial question set tied directly by the people. The governor could not advocate a measure that would be more popular. The primary system is working most admirably in Georgia and Alabama must adopt it before the discon- tent of the people is ended.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 A fool is a fool and so are a good many other people.
 To like to be right Is masculine;- to like to be thought right is feminine.
 The only real reason why girl refuses to marry a man is because he doesn't ask her.
 Men will always know that women aren't angels as long any of them have any sisters in their families. N N
 A girls affections that are governed by what mamma says, are like rubber-easily stretched. X
 Every girl that is horrid ugly always thinks-if she don't say-spitefu1 things about girls that are pretty.
 When a girl looks at man as if she wanted him, it disgusts him; when she looks at him as if she didn't it does, too.

 Women admire brave man and love an audacious one
 It's wise girl that is able to analyze her own complexion.
 In woman's novel the first should be last and the last first.
 But few people who are born fools ever succeed in living it down.
 Whenever a man fails in an undertaking he attributes it to fatalism.
 Rich bachelors never realize how well off they were until after marrying.
 Some women attract attention simply be- cause they make no effort to attract it.
 We've often wondered what will become of the self-made man in the final roundup
 A man gets the last word in an argument with a woman, but it's because she gives it to him.
 Nine times out of ten the man who is let in on the ground floor of a scheme lands in the cellar.
 The widower who mourns the loss of his first wife sometimes has the period of his mourning extended by taking a second.
 When a prima donna gets note too high she drops her voice. That probably &C., counts for many of the cracked voices we hear
 There are lots of little things that wise men do not understand, but 1t is generally believed that hens lay eggs because they can't stand them on end.
