An Editors Mistake.

The last Issue of the Miami Metropolis
contained the following paragraph: ''The
only newspaper Offices in South Florida
that were able TO print the long ballots
used in the recent election were the Me-
tropolis and the Braidentown Journal
News" We were quite astonished to see
Brother Tatum make such an assertion;
for he has been in THE STAR Office and
with his experienced eye should know
that the long ballots used in the recent
election were very easily furnished by
this Office. We will agree to print ballot
twice the length of the one used, if need
ed; and We would remind Brother Tatum
that THE STAR job printing Office has no
superior in the state, outside Of Jackson
sonville, 81. Augustine or Tallahassee.

A Warning to Wealth.

The Educational alliance, of
New York city, is an organization
formed to assist poor people to Sc
cure an education. Its aim is to
impart that information that
will materially assist them in fight
ing the battles of every day life.
Some remarks were made before
the alliance Sunday night by Mr..
Abram S. Hewitt, resident of New
York, which may be taken as a
warming by rich men.
The alliance, Of course, needs
money to carry on its work, and il
has not been as successful in Sc
curing contributions from men OF
means as it ought to have been,
and it was for these men that the
speaker intended his warming
Among other things we quote him
as saying:
AZ believe that in the twentieth
century, which is now near its
dawn, the spirit of commercialism
will steadily grow less strong and
the spirit of altruism stronger.
believe that the rule, do unto 9th
ers as you would have others dc
unto you will more generally pre-
vail than in all the centuries which
have gone before.
"If / am mistaken in this-ifthe
spirit Of commercialism and greed
The Florida star. (Titusville, Fla.) 1880-1917, 1900-11-30

CONTINUES to grow stronger-then
the twentieth century will witness
| . social cataclysm unparalleled in
history. Il Is only by the discoun-
demanding Of commercialism and
the spreading of altruism that we
can safeguard Justice, property and
liberty"
There is much food for thought
and reflection in the above state
ment. We are already confronted
in the large cities and pOpulous
|centers with a spirit of unrest
among the toiling masses. These
poor people read accounts of the
rapid accumulation of vast for
tunes, and they become dissatisfied
because few millionaires have 80
much money and property and the
great majority of the people so lit
tie. In dwelling upon this condi-
ton of affairs their minds become
imbued with desire for drastic leg
islation against the rich. The
masses have the ballot in their
power and consequently can make
laws that will strip the wealthy of
at least portion of their riches if
the latter refuse TO assist in i'm
proving the conditions of the poor
er and more ignorant classes.
Men of wealth, instead of adding
continuously to their great for
tunes, should distribute portions
of their incomes to those who de-
serve help, for it is better to re-
strain a spirit Of discomfort by gen.
erous action than to pursue
course of commercialism calculat-
ed to steadily increase it.
If the poorer classes could realize
that a large portion of the incomes
of wealthy people was being used
to lift up the struggling masses,
the prevalent and growing hard
feeling among them toward the
wealthy people would be found far
more kindly.

true large number of persons depend

Democratic Leadership.

Hon. John G. Carlisle, who was
secretary of the treasury during
Grover Cleveland's second term, in
an interview in the New York
Evening Post, takes the position
that the Democratic party must
retrace its steps; it must abandon
the new doctrines which first found
a place in Democratic platform at
Chicago in 1896, before it can ever
hope to get control of the govern
ment; and that, in his opinion, ait
depends wholly on the south
whether the Democratic party re-
turns to its old principles and ira
ditiOnal policies. He points out
that the interests of the south are
with the great commercial states
states which, mt the last election,
gave their electoral votes to the
Republican party-and not with
the three or four mining states in
the far west, with which the south
has allied herself. Of the l55 cleo
toral votes cast for Mr.. Bryan. all
were from the south, except those
from Idaho, Nevada, Colorado and
Montana.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Carlisle
that the south will find herself
alone in supporting the Democratic
party, with the exception of the
four states mentioned, for a long
time to come, unless the new doc
trines accepted by the party at Chi
cago and adhered to ever since, are
abandoned.
1t is a well known fact that the
south has not made any attempt to
lead the Democratic party since
the great civil war. In fact, the last
two party platforms were not
framed with any intention of hold
ing the southern states; for they
have been content for the past
thirty years to follow, and not at
tempt to lead.
The platform of 1896 and that of
the present year were made to win
states in the north and west; why,
then, should Mr.. Carlisle say that
the south ought to dictate plat
form for winning northern states?
We doubt very much whether
northern Democrats would agree to
have the southern states dictate
the party's declaration of princi-
Piles, because if any reorganization
is needed it should be started in
the north, where the Democratic
leaders ought to know just what
steps are necessary in order to
make a change in the political
complexion of their party for sue
cess. y

racy Or the south is not standing

Legislation to Protect.

J. E. Grady, of Apalachicola, in Times Union
and Citizen:
Some of our papers are now discussing
and advocating extending the time OF
'closed season" for the protection of fish
on the Florida coast during the spawning
season; and while this is a matter that
may need attention in some coast coun-
ties, little more care and knowledge OF
the fishing business should be exercised
in framing law than has been used in
the past so as to not enforce hardships on
the fishermen, which do not protect the
fish. In my opinion, the laws should be
local for many reasons. The difference in
the time of spawning of mullet on the
coast of Wakulla and Franklin counties
and that on some of the southern coun-
ties varies from thirty to sixty DAYS.
Then, again, the condition of weather
and temperature of the water has the
effect TO hasten or delay the spawning
and no general law will prove acceptable
to our citizens or properly protect the
fish.
All these things should be considered
anu lHC itlCiilbCIS VI lIOlis
the coast counties should look carefully
into this matter and have proper bills pre-
pared To meet each case.
If they do not, the law, if general, will
be worse than farce; for it will be vio-
lated and public opinion will stand by
the fishermen.
In 1898, in the state senate, a bill SINH
lar to one we now have was presented
and endorsed by all the members OF the
committee on fisheries, except myself,
and made a minority report against it,
stating that a general law would not be
effective and | was successful in defeating
the bill. The scarcity of fish during this
season is wholly due to the storms and
gales i'm the Gulf and on the coast turning
the fish from their regular route.
am not in the fish business, but
have given the matter careful attention
for many years and object to laws which
give the fish no protection and at the
same time work hardships on a worthy
class of men and tempt them to violate
laws.

ONE complaining feature of the

throughout the state was the high
assessment levied against the can

if possible. The name of DemOcra-
