refusal TO Withdraw from Picking is
commented upon with keen satisfac-

pressed that Lord SALISBURY will show
similar irmncss. The British reply
has not yet beer formulated. Lord
Salisbury desires to consult with his
colleagues and has notified tho foreign
office of his intention to return to Lon

week
There is little Doubt however. that
Germany's reply is the outcome Of the
discussion carried on during She last
few days between the Europea cabi-

of maintaining the occupation of the

From Shanghai IT is reported that
Japan has notified the powers of her
willingness to withdraw her troops

China formally requests evacuation
and opens genuine negotiations for

If Florida were y densely popula-

have little objection to the building
of larger and more modern Capitol,

all sufficient for several years to
come.

A NeighbOr'S Evidence.

Fernandina is "next door, to Jack
sonvilIe and, presumably, would de-
rive almost as much benefit, as that
city from the location of the Capital
there, yet the Mirror disinterestedly
opposes removal in the interest of
the people at large. One of its
many excellent illustrations is the
following:
"It is a questiJn Of vital interest to
every Taxpayer and should not be
passed upon without due considera-
tion. If you are taxed one dollar
now on the present bonded indebt-
edness yOd will be required to pay
two dollars on the bonded indebted
ness after a new Capital shall have
been built. The idea of removing
the Capital did not originate among
the masses Oh intelligent taxpayers,
as they would not be in favor of
abandoning and destroying valuable
buildings that already belong to them
in order to buy a nlillion-dOllar lux
ury on credit, when one years inter-
est Oh this miiliOn-dOllar loan, would
add all the necessary accOmmOda-
tions needed to their present build
ing for the next ten years" Quincy

A Big Job Sure Enough.

If some other PLACE than Tallahas-
see is chosen, the next Legislature
will have to pass an amendment to
the Constitution by a three-ffthS
vote, submitting the question of re-
moval to the people, this amendment
will be voted on at the general cleo
ton of 1902. If it is decided to sub
nit the question of location at the
same time it will be necessary for one
! of the places to get , majority of the
legal votes cast. If, on the other
hand, it is determined to revise the
Constitution, then the Legislature of
il9O1 will be required by a vote of
kwo-thirds of all the; members to pass
such resolution, the action of the
Legislature will then have to be sub.
mitted to the people for ratification
IOr rejection.
From the above it is plain to see
That it is no small undertaking to

No Rights to Capital.

The Kissimmee Valley Gazette, OF
the 18th instant, gives a half column
of its editorial to the Capital removal
question. The contents of the ar
ticle is, first: a criticism of the meth
DDS it says Tallahassee is using
against Jacksonville to retain the
Capital, and, second, an endorsement
of Jacksonville as the place to which
the Capital should be removed.
While we concede to all men the
rigb1 to their own opinions, in a mat
ter that is as serious as changing the
seat of government, and tie ir1posi.
ton of increased taxation on the
whole State by such removal, the
right is equally as inherent in every
man affected thereby, to question the
soundneSS of any position taken that
is not self evident, or the correctness
of declarations made in discussion.
In order that our readers may see
the relevancy of the inquiry to fol.
low, the portion of the article that
prompts the inquiry, is first printed
"The Capital would not add very
much to Jacksonville's prosperity and
dignity; but removal would mean
an@mia to Tallahassee. If there be
any selfshness in the campaign it is
shown by Tallahassee in hanging on
to something that the Legislature and
the Democratic party have virtually
said she ought not to keep any
longer, something that the people
will take away from her at the polls
in November to give to Jacksonville,
the rigbtful claimant"
The last sentence is all we care to
call attention to. When have the
Legislature and the Democratic party
virtually said Tallahassee ought not
to keep the State Capital any longer,
and that it would be taken from her
at the polls in November?
The effort in the Legislature failed,
and left it with her. That effort at
removal was not the voice of the peo-
pie at all. No more was the action,
the voice of the people, of the Jack
sonville convention. in the selec-
ton of delegates to that convention,
the question of removal did not enter
as a consideration. The removal of
the seat of government had not been
presented to the people, and the del
egates were elected without refer
ence to what might be their views as
to this question. 1t was sprung on
the convention, when it was seen that
members tongues were tied by rea-
son of the nominations that were yet
to be made after the matter of Capt.
tai removal had been fastened into
the platform.
But, the last st-three or four words of
the quoted sentence are as strange as
the others are incorrect. The writer
not only declares that the people will
take the Capital from Tallahassee in
November, but that they will give it
to Jacksonville, "the rightful claim
ant" Is Jacksonville "the rightful
CLAIMANT" A right is a sacred thing.
Where a right exists, no other can
have a right to interfere with it.
Rights cannot conflict. IF the right
is mine, it cannot be yours. But,
