MariOn's Representatives
From the Florida Baptist Witness:

From the Florida Baptist Witness:
Col. w. X. Zewadski returned
from Tallahassee to Ocala last
Saturday and gave an interesting
account of the work done by the
recent Florida legislature. He
thought there never was a more
sober, upright body of men as
sembled to make laws for any
state than those who composed
the Florida legislature which has
just passed into history. Many
very important laws were enacted
which will be for the betterment
OF our state, both SO Tally and
materially. The bill to punish
saloon keepers for selling liquor
to drunkardS and minors passed
both houses by large majority
and has become the law. Mr..
Zewadski made a valuable MEM
Der Of the house. He stood for
economy and good morals clearly
demonstrating the fact that the
people of Marion county made no
mistake IN sending him back to
Tallahassee AS their representa-
tive. Hon. Nj. L. Payne, Mr.. Us
colleague, made a fine record as a
representative, and fully met the
high expectations of his host of
friends throughout Marion coun-
ty. 1t is hopeful sign of our
times to find such an imperative
demand among the people for
honest, sober men to fill the offices
of the country. When every
good citizen will assert his rights
at the polls then We will relegate
whisky buns and pothouse poll
ticlans to the back ground and
place the reins Of government in
the hands of true patriots who
will guard the peoples interests
and execute the laws without
fear or favor.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

Money is said to be flowing like water in

Ohio dead walls are being plastered with
pictures of John r. Mclean, democratic can

however, is not half as fetching as his

Lemuel Eli Quigg now admits that the
Platt machine made blunder in opposing
Seth Low for mayor of New York two years
ago. AS usual political hindsight is wonder
fully illuminating.
Philadelphia threatens to go after one OF
the national conventions. In view of the
pace shown in shaking the city hall COM

The nomination of General Funston for

PROFITS OF THE TRIAL.
France Said to Have Made Handsome
Sum Out of Rennes COurt-MnrtiaI.

sum out OF hennes tOurt-Murutal
London Graphic.
Some interesting figures have been worked
out showing the activity of the telegraphic
service at Rennes during the trial OF Cap
tain Dreyfus 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 words were transmitted over
the wires during the time the trial lasted.
On the day OF the verdict no fewer than
5000 kilograms We're dispatched from Rennes
to all parts OF the world to announce the
verdict. For the month of August alone
THAT is to say, for twenty-four days of the
trial-'the telegraphic receipts in France
represented an increase OF $94, 900, com
pared with the receipts Tor the month of
August last year. This increase. although
nominally applying to the whole of France,
Is due solely to the telegraphic communica-
tions between Rennes and Paris. In order
to arrive at the exact amount OF profits
accruing from the work occasioned by the
court-martial II is, OF course, necessary to
add to the amount already stated the pro-
ceeds for eight days OF September, the fig
ures for which are not yet known. 1t is
safe TO say, however, that the total gain
to the treasury will not be far short OF
s12OOO0
The teegraIhic staff was divided into two
groups, each comprising forty-elght persons,
and they worked twenty-three instruments
connecting Paris and Rennes. Never before
have so many words been transmitted be-
tween two places for so many days in sue
cession. The operators worked eleven
hours a day instead OF the seven -horr shift
which Is their normal working day. The
minister OF commerce has decided TO allow
three days holiday to each telegraphist en-
ployed at Rennes, as well as a small none
tary gratuity The telephone service was
not less active. For the month OF August
the receipts exceeded by 60 900 francs those
for the corresponding period Of last year.

People in the United States have been
in the habit of looking upon the inhab-
itants of South America as lacking in
enterprise. That opinion will have to
be revised If they have found Il way
to beat the American insurance COM

people and then killing them as re-
ported. AS a stroke Of enterprise in CON

THE SUNDAY BEE.

The Bee Sunday will be one of the best
will be true not only of the general news
service, but of the special Sunday fea-
lures and illustrated articles.
Particular interest attaches just now
to the development of the South African
troubles, and this will be fully treated
in the exclusive cable letters set before
readers of The Bee. The great celebra-
ton in Chicago, participated in by Presi-
dent Mckinley, will form the center of
domestic telegraphic reports, while all
the political news Of the day will be
accurately chronicled.
Particular attention will surely be at
tracted by this weeks Illustrated Bee,
which covers a variety of subjects GER
tain to please all classes of readers.
For the frontispiece we have hand
some full length portrait of the queen of
the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival, reproduced
from q photograph made particularly
for The Bee. The photograph, which is
one of Rineharts best productions,
stands out strikingly on the first page
of the illustrated number.
Supplementing the portrait of the
queen we have the portrait. of the king
and also a number of fine Photographic
plates of the uneXcelled electrical IL
luminations that daZzled all visitors to
Omahas Ak-SarBen festivities this
year. The Bees pictures of the elec-
trical floats in particular are the only
ones that show them as they were gilt
terng with glowing incandescent lamps.
Another interesting feature of this
number is a group of republican candi-
dates for the district bench in Nebraska.
Republicans have everywhere nominated
their most representative attorneys on
their judicial tickets and this series will
therefore include the portraits of lead
ing lawyers in all the judicial districts.

Perpetuating the Arch of victory.


The New York arch to which attention
has been already called in these columns,
cost $4,000 as it stands. The most costly
work of all was given free-the labors of
the sculptors and designers and architect.
Consequently, were 1t reproduced in marble
and bronze, as is proposed, the actual cost
for material and the art creations would be
very considerable. One estimate places this
at $l,50O,O00, which is certainly not ex-
orbitant, but most economical. Placed prop
erly and executed as it ought to be, the
arch would be thing OF beauty and Joy
forever, and 1t is to be hoped New Workers
will see their way clear to making 1t per-
manent. This problem raised will be a
splendid test Of the real local pride inherent
in the financial princes who make New York
their business rendezvous. Spread among
ten of them sl5O,OOO apiece would represent
flea bite, and yet nothing is more likely
than that If the arch 10 built It will be built
by the poorer taxpayers But built 1t should
be, and even the poor should welcome the
opportunity gladly. They will get their
moneys worth, and their children after
them.

Having seen the folly of the free sill
yer agitation the Illinois Federation of
Labor at its last meeting omitted the
16 to l. plank from its platform. Some
ardent free silver men in the conven-
ton, thinking the omission was simply
through inadvertence, made an attempt
to have the plank inserted, but We're sur
prised to find an overwhelming majority
of the delegates opposed to the plan.
Laboring men are like other people, not
always correct in prescribing a remedy
when things go wrong, but they know
when they are we'll off.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-10-07


The republicans of Massachusetts held
their state convention yesterday and
adopted platform which all republicans
can heartily approve. Perhaps the most
important declaration relates to ma
tlonal finances This says that the obli-
cations of the government payable in
coin must be made by law payable in
gold. "The republican party" it is de-
maintain the existing gold standard and
we look with confidence to the Fifty
sixth congress for the enactment of
measures TO so perfect our mon
etary system that there shall be
ample money for the expanding
business Of the country and to so
arm and guard the treasury that
it can at all times protect the national
credit" Thus another republican con-
vention is on record in favor of legisla-
tion unequivocally fixing the gold stand
ard.
The republicans of Massachusetts are
in accord with the party throughout the
country in regard to building up mer--
chant marine as means of extending
our foreign commerce and they declare
their opposition to trusts and monopoly
in unqualified terms. In regard to the
Philippines, it is declared that the re-
sponsibility for the protection of life and
property in the islands was put upon
the United States by the law of nations
and the hope is expressed that congress
twill establish and maintain in those
islands, hitherto the home of tyrants,
a government as free, as liberal and as
progressive as our own"
The short campaign in the Bay state
will probably not be marked by any un-
usual interest and the republicans will
win by at least their usual majority.
