memories which cluster around the
Capitol building at Tallahassee, but
these, while grand and beautiful,
should not weigh one iota in the
question of the removal of the State
Capital. If there was no other logi-
cal reason than the question Of in
creased taxation, it alone should be
sufficient to convince the tax-pay :ng
voter to cast his vote in favor of Tai
lahassee. No taxpayer is willing to
increase his taxes by removal of the
Capital (Which would greatly benefit
Jacksonville without corresponding
benefit to the balance of the State)
when by voting for Tallahassee he
keeps his taxes down, and within the
the possibility of payment. Let the
taxpayer take into consideration the
many millions of assessable property,
which were removed from the assess
ment roll by the late freeze, when
the orange industry was almost oblit-
Grated, followed by a large shrinkage
Of values, low prices of cotton, syrup
and other farm commodities, droughts
and excessive rains, then the tax
payer, opposed to the increase OF
taxation would not hesitate a moment
to cast his ballot in favor of Talla'
hassee. The burden of taxation has
always been the strong argument Of
the Democratic campaigner. If ii
was convincing as against the ex
travagance of the Republican party
when it was in power in this State
then it should as quickly appeal tC

A Negro Girl Killed.

On last Sunday in the northern
part of the county near Dawkins
Pond a small negro girl seven years
old was shot and instantly killed by
a negro boy fourteen years of age.
1t seems that all the older members
of the family went to church. leaving
this small girl in charge of the
smaller children. The boy, whose
name, we could not learn, was left at
the house with the child. On the
familys return from church, the girl
could not be found and a search being
made was fourd lying in the yard
dead from a gunshot wound in the
face. The childs face was almost
completely shot away. The boy was
found and on being questione d
acknowledged doing the killing. We
could not learn what his account ot
the killing was and are unable tC
state whether it was accidental OF
not. The child was the daughter o.
Charley Cross, who works for Mr.
Duncan in the cemetary in this city
and was buried here on Monday.

A SOIOn'S Say.

Editor Milton Jou- nal:
Please give me space in the col
umns of your patriotic paper for a
few words in regard to the Capitol
removal and the calling of a Con-
stitutional Convention, as this ques-
ton will be brought before the peo-
pie on November 9th for ratification
or rejection.
For the removal of the Capital
and the calling of a Constitutional
Convention there has been no de-
mand only by few politicians, aud
they have given no valid reasons.
The majority of the servants of the
people defeated this same question
the last Florida Legislature. Why?
Because it meant a cost to the tax
payers of Florida of one million
and seventy thousand dollars. This
is useless expenditure of money
which must be derived from the peo-
pie by taxation, hence I am just the
same today as 1 was two years ago.
Ihelped to defeat the resolutions in
the Legislature aud I shall help to
defeat them at the primary on No.
vember 9th. This calling of Con.
stitutional Convention is only a DO.

COUNT THE COST.

The taxpayers Of Florida have
before them the question of building
or not building a new Capitol, and
before they go to the polls on the
sixth of November, it behOOves them
to closely count the cost OF the
scheme. He is considered wise
man who learns from the experiences
of others and avoids the traps and
pitfalls into which they were so
blindly lead.
This question has confronted the
taxpayers of other States and their
experience show that they invariably
miscalcuIated the cost. For examples,
we point to South Carolina that has
appropriated, s2,3OO,OOO, on a still
unfinished Capitol. The city Of
Toronto, Ont, began a city hall
twenty years ago which was esti-
mated to cost the taxpayers $780,
600 and already 50, ,345,OOO, has been
expended on the unfinished building
The Capitol at Albany, N. Y, was
estimated to cost s5,OOO,OO0, at tht
most, but it has cost more than $24,
100000, and is still unfinished. Th'
city of Philadelphia commenced
thirty years ago to build a city hal
which has cost to date, with fitting
and furnishings, $24,OOO,OOC
and S5,OO0,OOO more will b
needed to complete it. Wit
such examples to warn us, would
not be the height of folly for the pee
ple of Florida to embark in simils
undertaking when there is no nece'
sity. We have a Capitol that hs
proved adequate for many years an
will still continue to be so for man
wears to come. In all the instance
mentioped above, the advocates ha
put their estimates of the cost so 10
that the taxpayer was not frightene
at the outlay and readily granted tt
appropriation, but as we see, in ever
case the actual expenditure ran u
into the millions and also, in ever

heavy and unnecessary obligation"
There is no necessity for removing
the Capital, and we hope the people
will have sense enough to let it re-
main where it is. The Florida In
dex, edited by John M. Caldwell, who
once owned the Key West Equator
Democrat, remarks:
The Constitution is the peoples
safeguard from outrage, the bulwark
of their liberties and their fortress OF
defence from tyranny and usurpation:
No act of any legislature can annul
any of its provisions, nor change it,
not even to the crossing of a I or
dotting of an l. No court, from
that of a justice of the peace to the
Supreme Court Of the State, can
abrogaSe any of its requirements.
Every citizen of the State before he
is permitted to vote or hold any
office is compelled to swear 20 "prO-
tect and defend'' tbs Constitution.
The Constitution provides how it
may be amended, how revised, and
how Constitutional Conventions fol
this purpose may be convened. Yet
in this good year of our Lord 1900
we are treated to the spectacle of a
gang Of politicians endeavoring tc
call a Constitutional Convention and
endeavoriug to move the State Cap
ital, just as though no Constitution
were IN existence.
The Constitution provides that tbC
seat of government shall be at the
city of Tallahassee. TO change thil
provision by inserting Jacksonville
. or any other city, the change mus
be proposed at a regular session O
the Legislature, agreed to by three
fifth vote of all the members elected
to each house, the vote entered OF
the respective journals, be published
in newspaper in each county in th'
State, where newspapers are publish
ed, for three months preceding tn
next general election, submitted t.
the voters for their approval or re
lection, and if a majority votes il
r fovor OF The proposed change, thel
the change is made and it become
/. part of the CoDstitdtiOn.
Such, in brief, are the requirement
of our State Constitution, whicI
: every voter in the State is bound b
2 his oath to observe. Yet in the fac
e of these requirements a small mum

= happened TO get control of, the Du

Capital Removal.

admire Jacksonville for it's en-
terprising public spirit. 1 like it for
its "git up and git" !" forit4 unbOunded
eeW ooIsey" like ambition, for It's many
generous and courteous citizens, who
bave spent their money lavishly to
make the city what it is today, the
metropolis of the State. Let her
grow, let her "expand," let her fill
the measure of her ambition to over
flowing, but not at the expense of the
taxpayers of the State, who happen
to reside outside of the limits of Jack
sOnville and of Duval county.
Jacksonville is not the proper place
for the State Capital, with all its
"boasted accessibility and superior
advantages" It's great "accessibil-
ity" is very strong reason why it
should not be made the seat of gov
ernment.
Capitals of States should not be
located on the sea-board for the rea-
son. that they can be de estroyed by
bombardment, if the United States
should at any time be- engaged in
war with England, France, Russia,
Germany or Italy. The Capitals of
the, following States located on the
Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico
are situated at interior towns, except
two: California, Sacrimento; Con.
necticut, Hartford; Delaware, Dover

Quoting from the late lamente'
and distinguished statesman, Benja
D Fl. Hill, of Georgia, who said, ''Il
t times Of peace prepare for war,
; therefore when we have a stron
stratagetic position at Tallahassee
where the State building, the archive
