FLORIDA's TAX RATE.

The state tax rate in Florida this year
will be two and half mills. This is a
reduction of a half a mill from last wear.
With such tax rate the people of Flor
ida have no reason to complain of excess
sive taxation.
1t is a fact that the government of
Florida is economically conducted The
Legislature meets only once in two years.
and the session is short when 1t does
meet. officials are paid small salaries. and
yet the state secures the services of its
most talented sons. Economy is practiced
in every part of the state government, and
at the same time every interest is proper
ly cared for.
In this state the tax rate is double that
of Florida, and yet it is doubtful if the
people receive any more benefits from
the state than the people of Florida re-
ceive from that state In this state. how

our Legislature could learn some valua-

THE ELECTIONS.

The elections in the last day or two have
been town elections, except that in Rhode
Island, where the Republicans were of
course successful. Their plurality of last
year, however, was cut down considera-
bly,
1t Is of course impossible to draw con.
illusions from the town elections that are
at all valuable In some of the states
they seem to be favorable to the Demo-
Gratis, and in others to the Republicans
The truth is that in all of them party
lines were broken by local issues While
there were straight Democratic and Re
publican tickets in the field the results

sues In some towns in which the Repub-
hcans are known to be in the majority
while in some Democratic towns Repub-
lican officials were chosen.
The cutting down of the Republican plu-
rality in Rhode Island means of course
that there is not as much enthusiasm in
that party as there was last year. or that
some Republicans have become Demo-
cratic voters. The probabilities are that
owing to dissatisfaction with the policies
of the Republican party on some very i'm
portant public questions there have been
some changes from the Republican to the
Democratic party. The falling off of the
Republican vote in Rhode Island is calcu-

had been watching two acts of the play
together and the curtain had gone down
for the second time. There was the usual
hum of conversation that sounded very
much like an afternoon tea. But the it
tie girl sat quietly looking at her older
companion. Suddenly there came lull
in the noise of talk and laughter and for
several rows around the little girl could
be heard to ask:
What are you to Uncle Ed?
The young lady could not help smiling,
although she blushed at the same time
as she answered:
"Why, nothing at all, except friend"
The little girl was silent for a few mo-
ments, and it was during another of those
unaccountable lulls that she was over
heard saying:
Have you seen Uncle Eds horse?"

An amusing incident occurred in the
Senate yesterday afternoon just before
adjournment in which Senator Clay and
Senator Depew were principal actors says
a Washington dispatch to the Atlanta
Journal. 1t was during the debate on the
final vote on the Porto Rican bill. Sena-
tor Clay, with the other Democrats, had
been voting AYE on the several free
trade amendments that had been offered
and when his name was called on the
Foraker bill imposing the tariff he uncon-
sciously answered AYE" He was talking
to Judge Bartlett at the time. He imme-
diately recognized his error and correct
ed it, voting NO" A ripple of laughter
spread over the Senate and Senator De-
pew walked briskly over to the Georgian
and extended his hand.
IT congratulate you, sir for having the
courage to vote for this BILL he said
good naturally.
At this moment Depew's name was call
ed. NO" shouted the New Yorker, who
intended to vote AYE
1T is now my time to congratulate you,
said Senator Clay for voting against
this iniquitous bill"
DepeW was confused. MIR. President,

change my vote. l was so busy con-

JUDGE BROWNS DECISION.

The officials of the Department of JUS
tice at Washington were greatly surprised
by the decision of United States District
Judge Brown of New York, releasing
Greene and The Gaynors, who were ar
rested there several months ago on war
rant based on an indictment found in the
United States Court in this city, and con-
tanning a charge of conspiracy to defraud
the government and naturally so. The
decision was wholly unexpected. The At
torney General called II unwarranted, and
the Solicitor General spoke of it as out
rageous. If the decision should stand as
precedent to be followed by United
States judges it would be practically i'm
possible, in a large number of cases to
bring persons indicted in the United
States courts to trial If we are rightly
informed, there are only two other cases
where United States judges have not con-
sidered the Indictment and Identification
of the defendants sufficient to order the
execution of the warrant issued from the
court in which the indictment was found.
One was in New York and the other in
Philadelphia In the New York case Judge
Brown rendered the decision. There was
some ground for it. The indictment was
found in the District Of Columbia for a
libel published in New York newspaper,
and IT was held that defendant should be
tried where The offense was committed.
In the Philadelphia case the decision was
rendered in habeas corpus proceeding,
and it was reversed by the Supreme
Court. 1t seems, therefore, that Judge
Brown had no satisfactory precedent for
his decision in the Greene Gaynor case.
If Judge Browns decision is held to be
good the accused parties must be shown
to be guilty-at least a strong presump-
ton of their guilt must be shown-before
they can be brought to Savannah for
trial Owing to the character of the case,
to make such a showing would take sew
eral weeks. perhaps months. 1t took more
than three months to get decision, when
nothing more than the introduction of
a copy of the Indictment and the identiil-
cation of the accused parties was ar
tempted. How long would it take to get
a decision if the guilt of the accused par
ties had to be shown?
Judge Brown said there was nothing in
the record TO snow tnHt Sne accused par
ties were guilty of any crime-that is
nothing beyond the indictment. One of
the indicted parties had been convicted by
a courtmartial, and it is probable that
the name of that party was mentioned
several times in the proceedings before
the United States Commissioner. In view
of the fact that the indictment charges
conspiracy, there was therefore something
in the record which justified the presump-
ton that the accused parties were guilty
though it may not have been presented
in a way that required the Judge to take
notice of it. Still, if the Judge had par
ticuarly desired to hold the accused par
ties he need not have hesitated to do so
on the ground that there was no reason
to think them guilty. Looking at the
case in all of its phases, it does seem ms
if the officials of the Department of JUS
lice were justified in condemning the de-
cision in the strong terms they used.

REPUBLICANS IN 4 DILEMMA.

1t is by no means certain that the House
will pass, the Porto Rican bill Which the
Senate has sent it, The strong protests
against it by some of the ablest RepubH-
can papers of the West will likely make
it hesitate to reafirm its action in putting
a tariff on Porto Rican products. 1t pass
ed the Porto Rican tariff bil-a bill which
provided for a tariff on the products of
Porto Rico coming to our markets
amounting to Is per cent. of the Dingley
tariff. The Senate attached to this bill
provisions for a civil government for Por-
to Rico, and The amended bill is now
again before the House for it's approval
There are signs that the Republicans of
the House are alarmed by the outspoken
hostility of their party to the bill. This
hostility is particularly noticeable among
the Republicans of the West The excuses
which Republicans in Congress have Of
fered for the bill are not accepted Sena-
tor Proctor of Vermont voiced the senti-
ments of the people of the entire country
when, in his speech in the Senate on thS
last day of March, he said:
THE people look upon this as a matter
common honesty; and their moral sense
has been shocked and the national heart
and conscience stirred by the fear that
this measure of taxation will be adopted
by Congress.
THE people believe, as the President did
when he wrote in his annual message.
that our plain duty is TO abolish the GUS
toms tariff between the United States and
Porto Rico The people know that SEN
tence by heart, and they will repeat it
millions of times within the year from
it's deliverance, unless we perform what
The President says is our plain duty
1T is of vital consequence that this, our
first important step in legislation for our
new possessions, should be such as to
commend itself to the judgment and con-
science of the American people"
The majority of the Republicans in the
House is only narrow one. The Repub-
lican leaders may be able to force the
bill through that body, but it would not
be surprising If they should find it i'm
possible to do so. 1t is not improbable
that the tariff feature of the bill will be
eliminated If the Republicans become
convinced that the bill in its present
shape would drag the party down to de-
feat in the presidential election they will
turn about and adopt the plain duty
policy which the President proclaimed in
his message to Congress in December. But
if they should do that they would antag
onize that element of their party which
insists upon upholding the Republican
principle of protection They are in di
lemma. If they stand by the bill they ex-
pose their party to the charge of imper
ialism. If they abandon the bill and adopt
blow at the principle of protection. They
are in doubt as to the course to pursue.
