How Mr.. McBeath Feels.

Chairman Dan McBeath wants to
know where those 800 illegal votes
are that Mr.. Oscar announced in
trumpet tones were cast here year
ago 1t was announced by Mr.. Oscar
that a vigilance committee of so
citizens would prevent any illegal
voting, and taking Mr.. Oscar S
word for it that he used the money
he had raised by subscription for the
pupose of preventing illega! voting,
how is it that there was only one
difference in the number of votes
cast this year and last. Mr., Nc
Beath also wants to ask his oppon-
ents whether the result of the cleo
ton verifies the statement of the
Oscar platform that the town has
been governed without any
degree of decency." Naturally Mr..
McBeath feels that the people have
refuted the charges Mr.. Oscar has
been making against him.

POLITICAL SPEAKING.
Continued from page /.

where there was always q demand for
labor, and the convict labor would not
come in competition with other labor.
He thought the convicts ought TO pay
the state as much as S75, 900 per annum
when employed as above stated, a large
part of which sum could be used 70 carry
on the expense of criminal prosecution.
Judge Jennings closed with a few words
in regard to national issues, and paid his
respects to Teddy, the man with hat and
spurs.
Congressman Davis was next intro
duced. Although he had throat trouble
caused by catching cold at West Palm
Beach the night before, he soon warmed
up and his articulation was all right. He
gave the audience roaring and patriotic
address on national issues. He showed
how the Democratic party had pulled up
since four years ago under the leadership
of that matchless man, VIM. ]. Bryan,
who, though he went down in '96 in de-
feat was so deeply enshrined in the hearts
of his people that they then declared to
bide their time and give him the banner
of Democracy again, which was done at
Kansas City.
The speaker has been frequently asked:
"Will Bryan be elected ?' His answer:
NOW, do not think am bad man; l
have no bad views, and my friend, Judge
Jennings, has said that am christian
gentleman; but, tell you, i wish l was
as sure of going to heaven as am of Bryan
being elected president of the United
States. Then we will have a president
who is the embodiment of honesty and
sincerity, who will not, like that French
gentleman, Mr.. Mckinley, change his
mind at the behests of the trusts and
corporate powers"
Congressman Davis made a most scath-
ing arraignment of the Republican adj
ninistration of the past three years,
showing the deviation from the principles
of Democratic government as enunciated
by the constitution of our forefathers, and
the tendency TO drift into a monarchical
government. He treated Imperialism in a
mastery manner, illustrating his points
with amusing anecdotes, and the audi
ence were either cheering or in laughter
more than half the time. Mr. Davis
earnestness is such that he held his audi
ence spell bound and the time passed
away only too rapidly. We regret that
our space will not admit of more extend
ed notice of his address.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Williams, of Arcadia, was
expected to reach here yesterday TO join
the speakers, but, much to the regret of
all those who have heard him, he failed
to put in his appearance. The next ap-
pointment of Judge Jennings and Cong
ressman Davis was at Daytona. Tonight
they speak in the Ancient city.

IN our issue last week we asked
for information as to how the pro-
posed candidates for capital re-
mOval would raise the sums they
offer for donations. We supposed
that bonding the county or city
was the only feasible plan, and this
is admitted by st. Augustine, and
is probably the way Jacksonville
would adopt. No set of men, as a
board of trade or an association of
any kind, can legally bind a county
or city to bond itself for this pur-
pose, and if such n donation should
insure the success Ofcapital removal
TO such city, we very much doubt
if the voters Of any county or city
would vote to bond themselves for
such a sum after the primary had
located the capital in their favor.
We understand that Jacksonville
was willing to make the raising of
her donation n proviso for the re-
moval of the capital there, in other
words, if the primary settled upon
jacksonville as the place, that it be-
came obligatory upon that city to
raise the donation by bonding, or
failing in that the selection was
annulled. But it seems to us that
under the rules adopted by the eX-
ecutive committee governing the
coming primary such provisO is
not considered, and if the people
should select Jacksonville or st.
Augustine on the 9th of November
what assurance have they of the
payment ofthe 500, 600 or the $780,
900 donated by Jacksonville and
St. Augustine respectively? We
are simply inquiring for informa-
tiOn.

Too MANY Laws.

In one of the papers read at the
meeting of the American Bar asso-
citation at Saratoga last week the
opinion was expressed that too
many laws are enacted. The opin-
ion is, indeed, a sound one. The
American people are not satisfied
unless they are making new laws.
The statutes of every one of the
states are now so numerous that
few even among the law yers are
well acquainted with more than a
fraction of them. Every year in
some of the states, and every two
years in other states, the legislature
meets anG enacts great number of
new laws, the most of which are
forgotten almost as soon as they
have been signed by the proper
officials.
What is the use of so much legis-
lation? Would it not be far better
if state legislatures did not meet
more than once in five years? A
vast amount of money would be
saved to the taxpayers and the peo-
pie would not be annoyed with so
much legislation.
If the legislature of any one of
the states met twice a year, and re-
mained in session three months or
more at each meeting, it would
never get through with the bills
that would be presented to it.
There would always be somebody
with a bill to introduce. Indeed
it is seldom that a legislature is
able to keep up with the business
brought before it.
But who is to start the reform
suggested at the meeting of the
American Bar association And
what chance Of success would it
have if it were started? The pol
iticans are against widening the
time between the meetings of the
Legislature and the lawyers,as rule,
find business in a multiplicity and
confusion of laws. Farmers and
business men are slow to lead in re-
forms.
1t is probable that the evil will
continue until it becomes so in
tolerable that there will be a general
protest against it. Then probably
law-making bodies will meet less
often, and when they do meet will
aim to make a few good laws rather
than many that are bad or are of
no benefit to any one.

IT appears that Mark Hanna has
been trying very hard to secure as
much as 100000 in Philadelphia
to help elect Mr.. Mckinley by say
ing that the Republican national
committee "was never poorer than
it is today" In our opinion the
committee must be hard pressed
for funds to go to Matthew Stanley

deprived that state of one of their
representatives in the United States

from Just committing himself to
the platform references on these
