Long. Most of the professed
politicians" are hand and glove
with Long. In above statement
the News unwittingly tells the
plain truth, for once.
A LITTLE over a hundred years
ago England waged a war in
America against a numerically
weak people, as.she does today
in Africa. 1t was a war not rich
in brilliant feats of arms on the
American side, but very remark
able for the courage, determine
ton and staying power of the
people attacked; a war full OF
hardships and reverses for the
Americans. 1t is the remem-
brance of this struggle of our
own weak republic; this magnifi-
cent effort of our forefathers,
which has been taught to every
schoolboy and girl throughout
our glorious land, that makes
the vast body of people in the
United States unite in sympathy
for the struggling Beers. 1t is
too bad that the sordid, money
grasping influence that sur
rounds the present administra-
ton at Washington, prevents
that administration from even
permitting our people to express
their sympathy for the Beers
through official channels. 1t is
disgrace upon American man.
hood to have it even limited that
the red tape of our foreign rela-
tions is used to aid the English
cause. We of the people humbly
pray that the Beers may be en-
abled to prolong their struggles
until the people, here have a
chance to express themselves at
the polls; and there to place in
charge of administrative affairs
men who will no longer cringe to
the power of British gold; but
who will exhibit the true Ameri-
can spirit as handed down to us
by the Pilgrim Fathers.
WILLIAM FLOYD GARRISON,
who, in 1896, supported McKin-
ley because of the 16 to 1 plat
form of the democrats, says, in
the Boston Globe of Feb. 4th:
81 recall, during the last presi-
Dental campaign, my wide diver
gence from Henry George, whose
instincts generally carried pro-
found weight with me. I could
not support Mr.. Bryan ON the
money issue and -marveled that
George could swallow a dogma
in conflict with his own economic
teaching. His reply was, in
effect, that the real issue was not
the sixteen to one fallacy, but
one much deeper. To his eyes
the true spirit of democracy
seemed at last rising in earnest
to grapple with the spirit of
privilege and oligarchy which
threatened republican institu-
tions. In view of the unutter-
able sequel, of the absolute be-
trayal of the pledge which alone
put the present administration
in power, and the fact that the
survival of self-government in
the United States is the domi- |
nant question now facing us, |
who shall say that Henry
Georges forecast was mistaken? |
But there is a ground upon
which the poor and unlettered !
are. as much at home as the
student and the preacher. Yes, !
even more. That of simple right |
and wrong. Plain people can

Capital Removal.

Mr.. Flagler has written a letter
to the board of trade of st. Angus.
tine in regard to the question OF
capital removal to that city. This
letter was published in the Times
Union and Citizen Monday. Mr..
Flagler regards the subject in the
same light as a great many of the
citizens of this state do, who, with
the welfare of the whole state at
heart, look upon the contest as
likely to arouse strong feelings be-
tween sections, and perhaps create
bitter resentments, and, conse-
quently, he declines to express an
opinion ON the question.
This subject does not require
much discussion, unless the sever
al candidates now in the field
should center upon some one place
to receive the united support of
those favoring capital removal.
This was to have been considered
at a convention held at Palatka
this week of duly appointed dele
gates from several of the candi-
dates for capital removal. The
proceedings of that meeting may
determine what future action is
necessary on the part of those who
have been silent on the issue up
to this time. THE STAR has main
tanned that unless those favOring
capital removal center upon some
one place to be voted for, the cap
ital will remain just where it is
in. Tallahassee.

The people of Brevard and Dade
counties in convention assembled
at Fort Pierce last Thursday, Aug
ust 9th, renominated Senator Z. n.
Dimick to succeed himself in the
state senate from the Thirteenth
senatorial district of Florida. The
friends of the nominee are mag
unanimous and there is no desire
on their part to jubilate over the
defeat of their opponents, who
fought a good fight to the finish.
They went into that convention to
nominate their candidate by fair
means and by Democratic methods
to refute the false statements that
had been made against him; and be
it to the credit of the Brevard dele
CATION that went there to support
DR.. Hughlett, ssled by those political
veterans such as Hon. Gardner S.
Hardee, X. B. Raulerson, Tom San
ders and others, that they held the
element to Capt. Dimick
in check, and prevented a possible
and probable bolt with its conse-
quent train of discOrdant political
evils.
A few certainipersons had worked
so hard upon the feelings of the
people of this district that some of
the optimists were apprehending
a split in the party by a bolt and
probably an Independent nomi-
nation for SENATOR. but when the
Brevard people met the represent
ative people of West Palm Beach,
Miami, and Lemon City in person
and talked the matter over with
them, they found the Dade county
men fairer than they expected, and
when they noted the many little
made by the Dimick
they let their wiser
judgment prevail and agreed to
abide by the tenets of true Jetfer-
sonian Democracy, and they re-
mained within the convention To
the adjournment.
The mutual understanding that
followed is the result of the con-
action of Brevard's dele
gates, which is the friendly agree
ment between these two counties
that four years hence the mdivi-
dual support of all the leading
Democrats of Dade will cheerfully
be given to the choice of Brevard
for the senatorship.
And now what more fitting adj
mOnition can we close this reference
to the struggle of last week than To
urge that Senator Dimick should
receive the support of all true Bre-
ward and Dade Democrats at the
polls on the 9th of November.
