The following taken from state
ment issued by the Executive Com
mittee of the Tallahassee Capital
League ten days before the election
shows how well the Executive Com
mittee of the League had the matter
in hand: definite information from
we'll informed and reliable citizens,
who have full knowledge of the stu
alton, has been received from all Sec
tions of the State; and the Talla-
hassee Capital Leagne is justified in
stating, with entire confidence, that
a majority of all the votes cast at the
primary election on November 9th,
1900, will be in favor of Tallahassee
as the Capital of the State of Flor
ida" The majority over all for Tai
lahassee is 1869.

truthfully says, once the pest is in

1t will cause the owner constant

While it can to a certain extent be

prevention is always better than

CLARK'S BUNCOnBE.

In the face of the mandate of the
Democratic party against unnecessary,
extravaganza, Mr.. Frank Clark's res
olution offered before the Democratic
Committee on Tuesday to erect a
new Capitol at Tallahassee savors
strongly Of defiance.
Of course Mr.. Clark knew that no
such resolution would be carried, SO
what credit he expected for offering
It we fail to see. Generosity is not

SAN JOSE SCALE.

All perSOuS VINO. know or nave
read anything about the disease of
fruit trees know that one of the worst
diseases to which they are subject is
the San Jose scale. A recent article
we read in some exchange, stated
that the L. S. Department of Agri-
culture at Washington considers that
it is impossible to eradicate it from
an orchard when once introduced.
We have law on our statute books
prohibiting the coming inside the
State of trees Infected with the pest.
TO what extent it is enforced we do
not know but it should be most rig
idly.
In an editorial few days since
the Savannah Morning News says:
1.-The fruit tree pest known as the
San Jose scale has come to stay.
That is the deliberate opinion of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture after much research. There
can be no such thing as the total
eradication of the scale, where it has
once gotten firmly established, except
by tire-burning the whole orchard,
and that is a process too costly to be
contemplated in all instances. 1t is
not only possible, but comparatively
easy to keep any certain orchard free
from the scale, if It's presence be de-
tected at once and immediate steps
taken for its destruction. Infected
nursery stock should be burned just
as soon as the infection is discov-
cred. After the scale has passed
one entire breeding season in an
orchard, it may be said to have be-
come a fixture in that orchard while
one tree remains standing. Indeed.
the digging up and burning of all
the fruit trees might fail to eradicate
the scale, since the chances are that
it would also have found lodgment
on surrounding wild or ornamental
plants and shrubbery, and be in q
position to attack any new fruit
trees planted in the same ground
The San Jose scale may, therefore
be called permanent factor in fruit
growing in this country"

infected with the scale, although the
nurseryman was particularly
: warned that it was against
the law to send trees so infected into
the State. The Atlanta authorities
very properly uprooted every tire,
and burnt them root and branch
which is the only way to destroy tn,
pest. We were shown a letter a day
; or two ago, written to our State Ag
rlcultural Department, that causes III
: to fear that the pest is being shipped
into Florida by this same nurserymal

stated that he had purchased trees o

Caught a Deer.

Mr.. VIM. H. Harrell, a merchant
Of st. Marks, tells of catching a fine
deer a few days ago in the Wakulla
river with a hook and line. He
wishes it understood that by this
method he has not been able to catch
many, but VOuches for catching this
one, and did rot spit on his hook
either. 1t seems he was out in the
middle of the stream fishing for
sheephead, when he espled big deer
swimming across the river, and with
out a second invitation Mr.. Hafrell
soon pulled his boat alongside of. the
old stag, who, it seems, when Mr..
Harrell would raise an oar to pelt
him over the head, would plunge
forward and defeat the lick. After
trying in vain to capture or kill him,
Mr.. Harrell thought of his fishing
line; so the next time he came in
reach he threw his line over the old
fellows's head, hooking him in one
eye, and, after going down
stream for several hundred yards, he
managed to get his boat near enough
to pound him over the head; which
soon made Mr.. Harrell the hsppiest
man in st. Marks, for he had hun
dred-pound buck dead in the bottom
of his boat.-Crawfordville CORE

JacksOnviIIe's Gala Week.

The Gala Week this year is larger
and better than ever. The new
features will be especially attractive.
There will be parade of the city de-
partments. Merchants Trades Dis
play with 500 floats, fantastic parade
with over 5000 in costume, a grand
floral parade with over 200 traps and
au On Obiles. 1t is estimated that over
$4,000 will be spent in decorations
in the floral parade alone. Three
afternoons will be devoted to horse
racing; the finest horses ever seen in
the South have been entered. The
streets will be full of attractions.
Free shows will be given twice daily.
Acrobats, Trapeze Performers, Tight
Rope Walkers, Song and Dance
SpecialtieS, etc. The best of BOs-
tOck's shows have been signed and a
number of other excellent attractions.
The railroads have given rate of
one fare for the round trip, with so
cents admission to the race track.
All these features contribute to make
this the best Gala Week we have
ever had. Every one should come
to Jacksonville and participate in a
week of ELilarity and Gaiety. There
will be plenty of accommodations
for all and full information can be
secured by addressing the Gala
Week Executive Committee, Jack

GOOD WORK DESERVES RECocNI-
TION,

all good citizens, individual and Or
gained. Noticeable, among these
was the Hon. Geo. P. Raney, who as
the chosen representative of the
Democrats of Leon county on the
State Executive Committee, exer-
clsed in their behalf his well known
legal ability. Being so ably repre-
sented on the committee the friends
OF Tallahassee felt no fear of the
many wiley attacks prepared against
her; and the outcome has justified
theirconfidence. With exceptional le-
gal experience and power of oratory
subtle and rare, the success of a cause
espOused by Judge Raney is assured.
Mr.. Glover Rawls, as the representa-
tive on the committee of Hon. J. B,
Whitfield, the candidate for State
Treasurer, with his clear judgment
and business ability, was valuable
assistant to Judge Raney.
According to reports from all parts
of the State, Tallahassee owed many
votes to her favorite son, Hon. Fred.
T. Myers, who, besides steady and
effective work on the State Capital
League, travelled over a great
part of the State, and by
his straightforward and un-
prejudiced speeches furthered our
cause, and, added to his already
large list, many new friends and ad-
mirers. No client had better or more
distinguished advocates than had
Tallahassee in Raney and Myers, and
she had none so jealous in her cause.
To these two, she and Leon county
will owe debt that will be repaid in
the future by continued confidence
and esteem.
The work of the Capital City
League was most excellent and added
greatly to our chances of success.
The League sent forty or fifty
thousand pamphlets and pictures
of the much abused Capital
building throughout the State
which without doubt turned many a
doubtful vote into an earnest adher-
.ent of our city. The importance OF
this work can not therefore be over
estimated and the executive commit
tee of this League consisting OF

son, J. r. Cohen, w. c. Lewis, G.
w. Saxon, B. Gwynn, who
were all untiring in thei1
efforts to further the cause, deserves
a full measure of praise at the hands
of their fellow citizens. We must
not forget our many friends in all
portions of the State, who were al
all times, sending us letters of en-.
couragement and advice-and whose
public condemnation of the nefari
GUS scheme helped US so materially
all through the campaign and will
them let us give full credit to the

One of Mo.art.. o.tbreak..

Mozart, being once ON a visit at Mar
settles, went incognito to hear the per-
Torrance of his "Villanella Rapita."
He had reason to be tolerably well
satisfied, till, In the midst of the prin-
cipal aria, the orchestra, through some
error in the copying Of the score.
sounded q d natural where the COM
poser had written d sharp. This sub
stitution did not injure the harmony,
but gave q commonplace character to
the phrase, and Obscured the sentiment
Of the composer.
Mozart no sooner heard 1t than he
started up vehemently, and, from the
middle Of the pit, cried out In q voice
Of thunder: win you play d sharp,
you wretches"
The sensation produced in the theater
may be imagined. The actors were
astounded, the lady who was singing
stopped short, the orchestra followed
her example, and the audience, with
loud ordinations, demanded the ex-
pulsion of the offender. He was ac-
cordingly seized, and required to name
himself. He did so, and at the name
Of Mozart the clamor subsidized, and
was succeeded by shouts of applause
from all sides.
1t was insisted that the opera should
be recommended. Mozart was install.
ed in the orchestra, and directed the
whole performance. This time the Y
sharp was played in its proper place,

I''CONSENT OF GOVERNED. "
Senator "Pitchfork" Tillman Sheds "Croco-
die Tears" Over Woes of the Filipinos,
II but Admits His Party Shot Negro
Republicans In the South.


Il want to ask you q question, this
evening"" said Farmer Brown, as they
seated themselves for the next even
ing's lesson, ''in regard to a matter
that has bothered me somewhat ever
since the candidates were nominated.
You see the Democrats say that the
taking of the Philippine islands and
the attempt on the part Of the presi.
dent to conquer the Filipinos and make
them part Of the United States, isn't
according to the constitution. What
do you say to thatT
What the Administration Proposes.
Il know that the Democrats talk
very learnedly about the consent Of
the governed" said John, land there
has been an attempt to arouse a good
deal of sentimentality on this score.
1t strikes me, however. that If this
matter is considered dispassionately,
one will hardly say that the Demo-
Gratis have any right to quote what
they claim is the constitutional argu-
ment against the holding of the Phil
ippines. In the first place the admin
istration proposes to give the Filipinos
stable government, but to do this
you will admit, I think, that it will be
necessary, first. for them to cease their
tnsurrectionary warfare. The ratifi-
cation Of the treaty of Paris gave to
the United States the absolute legal
title to these islands and, at the same
time, imposed upon US the duty Of pro-
tecting the people of the islands and
their property from harm, both from
instruction within or attacks from
without Now, to perform this duty
It will, of course, be necessary for the
United States to suppress this insur-
rection before it can establish formal
government for the islands. 1t seems
to me, father, that this is one thing
which the opponents of the admins
tration do not take into account. So
far as anything that the administration
has yet done 1t seems that we have
acted entirely within the constitution
and in accordance with the provisions
OF the Paris treaty. You must also
remember, and this is one of the
strong points In the discussion of this
question, that the ratification of this
treaty may be said to have been
brought about almost solely through
the influence exerted by William Jen.
nings Bryan.
Ratified Through MT. Bryan's Influence.
"You know it took a two-thirds vote
OF the senate to ratify the treaty, and
the Republicans could not muster
enough votes to do so without the as
sistance of the opposition In that body
Mr.. Bryan went to Washington and
urged the Democrats and Free Silve,
senators to join with the Republicans
and vote for its ratification. They die
& so and ten Democratic senator's. thre,
Populists, four silverites and one in
dependent took Bryan's advice and
voted for the ratification, giving III,
treaty 81 votes to 81 In the negative
Thus 1t came about that II was through
bis influence that the needed votes
were secured. He had nothing to say
at that time about the consent Of tn,
governed and it was left to subse

tell! First, had to praise him In the
most fulsome manner, without having
read his works. Then / had to learn
to recite portions OF his poems by
heart, and In doing so to give the
verses as much as possible with q
