The Smallpox

The clause In the grand jury's
general presentment relative to
the smallpox situation might lead
the casual reader to think that
the disease prevails in Ocala.
Such Is not the. case. Except
the three or four cases in the pest
house on the west side of town..
brought there from the neighbor-
hood of Agnew, where they de-
veloped, there is no smallpox near
Ocala.

To the Hon. w. A. Hooker, Judge of the
Said Court:
The grand jurors for the coun-
ty of Marion, having completed
their labors for the term, would
respectfully submit to your honor
the following general present
ment:
In our investigation of crimes
in the county for the time which
has elapsed since the last term Of
this court, we are glad to note a
large decrease in all classes of
crime, as compared with the pre-
cedlng term. The item of ex-
pense of witnesses alone appears
to be about one-fourth.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
AS to the public buildings of
the county, we have to say: AS
to the court house, we would rec
ommend that the county commits
sioners take under consideration
the much needed space In some of
the offices. We are glad to note
that there have been some inn
provements made in the building
and yard, to wit: painting of the
house and fence, and in planting
the yard in grasses.
The jail we find to be in excel
lent sanitary condition, and the
prisoners seem to be well cared
for. We find the cells, as they
are, insufficient for the safe keep
ing of prisoners of grave offenses,
and suggest that the county COM
missloners provide three or four
good tool-proof. cells for the per-
feet safe keeping of this class of
prisoners. And we recommend
that some means of heating,
either by steam or hot air, be
provided, as we find the present
system Of wood stoves, in the
manner that they are used, mad
equate.
THE COUNTY OFFICES
Clerks Office: The clerk 5 office

everything kept and conducted in
such a manner as to be a great
source of satisfaction to us and
convenience to the officers and to
the public.
Tax Collectors Office: The COL
lector's office we find in perfect
order, and all his official records
and books neatly and properly
kept. We find that he is without
sufficient office room.
Treasurer's Office: The treasur-
er's books have been submitted to
us and we find them i'm first-class
order. We find that there is an
increased surplus in the. fine and
forfeiture and the road funds, and
we would recommend that the
commissioners reduce the tax rate
one-fourth of a mill on each OF
the above.

In THE CIRCUIT COURT, FIFTH JUDICIAL
CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA, In AND For
MARION COUNTY. SPRING TERM 1899

THE VICTORY.
Journal.

The election Of Mr.. Quarles to the
senate as a result Of the prolonged
contest between Wisconsin republicans
will be victory for the party within
the state rather than for individuals
within the party. He represents more
generally and specifically than any of
his rivals the popular idea of what a
| United States senator should be.
Passing by the minor and incidental
influences which have contributed to
| his election, no one who has kept in
formed regarding the contest will
seriously dispute the assertion that
Mr.. QuarleS owes his success most
largely to the influence of public sem
timent in all sections of the state
upon the members of the legislature.
From start to finish it has been the
large field of candidates against the
leader and Mr.. Quarles' opponents did
not surrender until they had demon
strated their utter inability to COM
pass his defeat. They could not unite
their forces in support of any one
man, and they could not hold their
forces to prOlOng the deadlock through
another week. They made the best
fight they could and the most graceful
concession of defeat possible. There
is no apparent reason why each of the
candidates may not find the election
of the Milwaukee aSpirant as accept
able as that of any other of his rivals
would have been. There is no indica-
ton that the somewhat bitter strife
will cause enduring grievance or party
diSaffectiOn in future and there are
abundant reasons for the belief that
the result may tend to strengthen the
confidence Of the voters in the party.
As there has been no doubt from
any source concerning the fitness and
ability of Mr.. Quarles to represent
the state with credit to both the COM
mOnWealtn and himself, there is no
present occasion for reiterating the
statements of facts in evidence of his
qualifications which have been made
familiar to readers of the Sentinel as
arguments in advocacy of his election.
He enters upon his career as public
representative, we believe, free from
obligations or alliances which might
impair his influence or his services to
the state or to the party. His ambi
tions have been large and his methods
have been reputable. His friends
have right to look for a realization
of their best hopes in his future con-
duct. Milwaukee Sentinel.
