The Politics of paresis

For the sake of President Mckinley.
It is to be hoped that the report that
he viii insist upon putting the Inter
state Commerce Commission into the
hands of a receiver is not true. On
the other hand looking at the matter
strictly from political standpoint.
there is every reason to wish that it
may be true. 1t emily needs few OBJ
ject lessons. like the return Of Mr..
Hanna TO the Senate and the appoint
ment of Mr.. PaXson to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. TO make the
next Congress so overwhelmingly DEM
ocratic that the only danger to the
country may lie in its unwieldly pre-
dominance.
Possibly that may be the underlying
object i'm the strange course of the
Administration at present; but we
hesitate to believe it. because that
would be too astute and farseeing for
a government whose only apparent
policy is to pay old campaign debts,
and to trust to the new credits thus
created to buy future elections. 1t
may be objected. that it is not con-
ceivable party i'm power should en-
tertain such a mean estimate of the
people as to believe it could outrage
the masses in every imaginable way.
and then depend upon their corrupti-
bility and coercion to return il TO
power. with the certainty of their fur
ther oppression and enslaVement as
consequence. But, up to date, the
whole course of the power placed over
us by the sixteen million dollar cam
paign fund has seemed to justify the
impression that this exactly is what
the Republican gold, bond, trust and
monopoly regime of Hanna and Me-
Kinley does expect and count upon.
The transference of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the control
OF the very element it was designed
and created to keep in order for the
good of the nation would be a serious |
thing; but it might not last long, and, |
as an Illustration Of the tendencies and |
purposes Of the Republican party. in !
the end, might not be a bad thing. 1t /
is said that the best way to secure re-
peal of a bad law is to enforce it to the
letter. 1t may be remarked, with equal |
that the very best way to |
get rid OF such regime as nov the
country sroans under is to give it all |
the rope ii wants, with humble trust in /
Providence that the appropriate result

POLITICS IN ALABAMA.
Three Men Mentioned for the Next
Guhernatorial Race.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 3.-Indications
point to the liveliest contest for the
next Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton ever known in this State. Cover
nor Johnston is not averse to another
term and his friends have already gone
energetically to work in his behalf.
This may be accounted for from the
fact that the supporters of Colonel
Rouuemore took off their coats and
went to work for him several weeks
since. They have succeeded in getting
the newspapers to speak of the Colonef $
candidacy, whether favorable or unfa-
vorabie, which has served to bring him
prominently before the public.
Governor Johnston has some oppo-
nents who are very powerful, and they
will do all they can to beat him.
The Register has come out squarely
against Colonel Roquemore. This was
something of surprise because it was
thought the paper would do all it possi-
bly, could to down Johnston. Whether
or not the influential Registers posi-
tion viii stagger the Roquemure move
ment remains to be seen. In the event
that Colonel Roquemore becomes a
strong candidate for the nomination 1t
is said Ex-Governor Bates will enter
the race.

nation given, nothing will be done. at

the President, after being made ac-

ated his intention of excepting a num-
Der of places under the law and thus
relieving the stress upon the dfssatis-
fled members.
But he did not feel that he could act
while the subject was under eOnsideTa-
tion in Congress. This came TO the
knowledge of the members of the COM

Dr. Wolseley. of Yale, having been

THE FREEZE IN FLORIDA.
Estimates OF the Damage Done
Hard to Obtain.

Jacksonville. Fla. Jan. 3--The pre-
sent cold wave swept into Florida. 1t
caused a freeze in the northern part
of the State and frosts as far to the
south as Biscagne Bay. Just how
much damage has been done TO fruits
and truck is not known. Reliable in
formation is difficult To get, because
there is a small class in the State which
exaggerates the damage and a large
class which conceaIs the damage Ex-
cept in rare instances will the papers
here print much information on the
subject OF frost in the State.
1t is held TO be injurious to the in
terests of Florida that the outside
world should become aware that
freezes and frosts are now a pretty
regular annual occurrence there. II is.
by old settlers, now thought impracti-
cable to get below the frost line.
The mercury last night at Jupiter.
which is al the mouth of the Indian
river. three hundred miles to the south
OF Jacksonville. went down to %, or
freezing point. The weather station at
that point is on high land. and it is
probable that the low lands suffered
severely. particularly the low wet
muck lands between Lake Worth and
Biscayne Bay.
The winter of 1S94-'95 was rendered
memorable in Florida by two of the
most severe freezes which have taken
place since careful records have been
kept. The freezes extended practically
throughout the State and frosts oc-
CURED on the keys. The first blizzard
began on December p, 1894, and on
December % the temperature fell to IL
degrees above zero at Jacksonville. The
second blizzard struck the State on
February :, s, and 8, 1895, and the tenn
perature again went down TO II de-
grees at Jacksonville. On January i.
1896. the mercury went down to freez-
ing at West Palm Beach and below the
frost point at Palm Beach. The De-
cember freeze found about three mil
lion boxes of oranges on the trees. The
