friends in Punta GGrda, a committee
of whom, representing the Punta
Gorda Democratic club, met the
steamer and escorted Mr.. Myers to
Hotel Dade.
In Meadow hall at 1870 o'clock,
under the. auspices of the local club,
the speaker addressed a representa-
tive audience, the ladies' especially
being in.evidence.
Mr.. Myers first gave in detail the
history of all efforts to remove the
Capital from Tallahassee. Only a
few attempts had been made, and in
each instance, the project was pro-
NOTED BY. some member of the legiS-
lature representing counties in which
are located cities that aspire to Cap
ital hogors. The people of the State
any considerable number of them
had. never commanded that a
new location should be determined
upon. He gave assurance that the
present Capitol building was ade-
quate for all purposes; that it was
probably. the most substantial struc-
ture in the State today, and that no
complaint was ever heard from the
worthy gentlemen who occupied it.

befell the State few years ago

care to assume additional indebted
ness of such great magnitude.
As to Jacksonville offering to con

Obituary.

The unseen angel has again visited
our circle and borne away to the
bright beyond, a sweet little girl Of
eleven summers. Maud Page,
daughter of b. F. and Mrs. n. c.
Page, died at the residence of her
father, at WoOdville, October the
10th, 1900. She was born May the
9th, 1889, and was therefore eleven
wears and five months old. Little
Maud was ever dutiful to her par
ents, and it is there the stroke falls
the heaviest. She has gone from US
but not lost. She will be missed
from the freside, from the social cir;
Gle, from the school room. We al
knew her only to love her, but Jesus
loved her more, and while it is our
loss, it is her eternal gain. Then
father, mother, brothers and sisters
mourn no more; Maud has made hel
bed in the skies and her pillow OF
the SaviOr's breast.
We extend our heartfelt sympathie!
to the bereaved ones, and say to then
the Masters will be done.
Little Maud is gone to a world
Where parting is unknown,
long eternity of love
FOrmedfOr the good alone,
And faith behOlds the dying here,
Translated to that glorious sphere
As morning, high and higher, shines
Toa pure and perfect day.
There we know she will be happy,
And will always want TO stay,
| She will love to hear the singing,
! She will love to look at JetuS'
| And will love Hin, more and more,
| And will gather water lilies
For the Angel at the door.
| Uncle Tom.

THE NEXT SENATE.
rom the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 It would appear that the Democrats are
 to make a slight gain of members in the
 United States Senate as the result of the
 late elections. They have one Senator in
 Delaware and one in South Dakota, and
 one, also, Tn Nebraska, if the seat of Sen- ator Allen. who has his place by a Gov ernor's appointment, is to be accounted theirs, though he is temporarily filling a vacancy caused by the death of a Repub- lican. The Senatorial vacancies created in Delaware and Utah, which are now to be filled by Republicans, had previously Re- publican occupants, and the same may be said of the vacancy in Pennsylvania, so that there is really no gain In them. On the other hand, the Democrats will gain one senator in Idaho, one in Colorado. and two in Washington. and in effect one also in

u HUNG CHANCES JOKE.

From the New York World.
 It is quite in the Celestial vein of philoso- phic facetiousness that while the powers are trying to get together on the amount of indemnity to be collected from China the astute statesman in yellow jacket. with our old friend Ii Hung Chang at their head, should be planning to collect it all back again in a way not at all pleasing to the European merchants. It is Lis idea and quite a bright one, too-that the in- demnity can be met by doubling the tariff duties on foreign imports. The Chinese will pay those higher duties themselves, but then they will probably not buy so many foreign-made goods. In that case trade will not follow the flag" and the merchants behind the men behind the guns will at once be asking, What good is the flag anyway?

Pier pont Morgan, was married at 3:30 this morning in St. Georges Church to Herbert Livingston Satterlee, lawyer of this city. 4..e invitations for the ceremony num- bered 2,5O0, much beyond the seating ca- pacity of the church.

PROSPERITY IN WALL STREET.

From the Washington Times
 What astounding prosperity! Wall street has gone wild over the defeat of MT. Bryan and stocks of all kinds have advanced with leaps and bo %ds. Since the election we are told that the daily dealings have averaged a million and half shares. Innumerable millions have been added to the "values" of railway and industrial stockl This is all very comforting to Wall street. Such booms never have but a single meaning. The dear public has been enthused The lambs are bleating up and down Wall and Broad streets, and overflowing into Broadway and Trinity church yard looking for butchers! In short the trust magnates are unloading at the top of an over-excited market. There will be a heartrending slump If not a panic between now and Christmas and then they will get in again on -the ground floor It is the same old prosperity storyi

IRE oEuY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Popular Will is Supreme.

This State, full of great industries, can- not afford to fall into anarchy--eannot af- ford to succeed Kentucky in point of con fusion and disorder. There is too much at stake. and there is no need of acquiring such unenviable reputation.
 The key to the whole case is the will of the people. The ascertainment and en- forcement of that will is not a judicial question. The five eminent lawyers who sit in the Supreme Court were not put there to decide political questions. Their duties relate to law questions, and the gubernatorial succession is political. What is the will of the people? The constitution makes the Legislature the judge of such a question, and the Legislature should act with firmness up to it's great responsibility.
 In this way, and in this way alone, can the State be saved from anarchy and from usurpation. It has become an axiom that Anglo-Saxons will endure almost Anything before resorting to revolution, and no doubt these who are conspiring against the will of the people think they can do so safely. But no member of the Legislature can af- ford to be remiss in bis duty, for he will be held to his responsibility by the people.
 The people of Alabama have declared tlat, first, William J. Sanford and, second, William D. Jelks shall fill the guberna- toral office. This declaration of the people has been officially canvassed and recorded, and the same people look to the Legisla- ture to carry into effect their will The Legislature can do it, although some au- daeious attempts may be made to turn purely political question into one that can be referred to a court. There will be no occasion for such a reference if the Legis- lature has the courage of it's convictions if it has the courage to say that in thls State the will of the people is higher and more authoritative than the will of cabal that is as audacious as it is usurpatory.

Cost of State Troops.
In discussing the State troops Gov. John ston calmly says:

In discussing the State troops Gov. John ston calmly says:
 The whole expense to our treasury for the maintenance and instruction of these troops and their in suppresSing mobS and up- holding the law during the four years of my administra ton, including the salary of the adjutant-general has been $6O, ,551S2. as against SPA, ,056.S0 for the four years next preceding, as shown by the auditors re- port
 This statement, when unexplained, is quite surprising, and there is not word of explanation in the message. There is no statement going to show that the State troops were quartered forty days in and about this city during strike troubles. This occurred in "the four years next preced- ing" whereas in the four years of my administrator the troops were scarcely called out at all in suppressing mobs and upholding the law. The calls were few in number and brief in duration.
 Then, too. during at least two years the State military service became suspended by the war with Spain, and in two of the four years no encampments took place. thus obviating much expense. The State was practically without troops during half of the four years. The adjutant-general continued to draw his salary, of course, and for considerable period he was about all there was left of the military establish ment. It had vanished into tho service of the United States, and was not quickly re- organized. Gov Johnston may have for gotten these things in the rush and hurry things considered, the soldiers of the State were quite as expensive as they ever have been. No one complains of the expense; the State gets its moneys worth, and there is no reason why the whole truth should not have been stated.

MUCH APPREHENSION
Caused Through Europe by the czar's
 Illness.

London, November 15.-The serious appre- hension with which the announcement that the Czar was suffering from typhoid fever filled Europe emphasizes how much the peace of the world is believed to depend upon him. But for the statement contained in the official bulletin that His Majesty's malady is taking a thoroughly favorable course, the news of his illness would have created nothing less than consternation. It Is generally felt at the present critical state of international affairs that even a temporary weakening of the influence of so favorable factor in the maintenance of the worlds peace justifes grave anxiety, especially as the Czar is regarded in Flu rope as kind of counterpoise to Emperor William. Public anxiety will, therefore re- main strained until the none too robust monarch recoyers. In political circles His Majestys malady is regarded as a night mare.
 The London newspapers comment on the Czar's illness with peculiar sympathy. The Times remarks that it has always been be- lieved in England that the Czar "recipro- cated the national sentiment toward him and cherished real regard and reverence for our beloved Queen"
 The Times also says: "The CZar has ex- hibited consistent attachment to the cause of peace. It is hardly necessary to say that any event which~will lead to a change in the occupancy of the throne at the present anxious state In the far east might very gravely prejudice the situation"

THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama Is a leader of the Democracy who, being exceedingly tenacious of his opinions, is not yet con- vinced that the battle for free silver coin age has been finally lost. He will find few Democrats either north or south who are willing to make another campaign for short weight dollars; but there are thousands who will agree with him in the declaration that "the Democratic party has had a fixed creed for one hundred years which has never been altered. There is, therefor, no necessity for any reorganization of the party. What the party needs is fidelity of membership to the creed that has so long held them together"
 The silver issue was an interpolation. It will be well to drop 1t as a fnger-burning firebrand and go back to foundation prin- ciples. The Democrats of the south should be foremost in such a movement. No part of the republic is so profoundly concerned in the return to power of the party of Jeff ferson.

MT. Hanna's Kickoff,

The vast extent and scope of the Repub- lican victory under the leadership of MT. Mark Hanna and his esteemed trusts is thus summed up by the Washington Times: 1.-The Democratic party, as a party of effective opposition, has suffered a stroke of paralysis. It cannot move hand or foot for two years and three month.
 u.-Hanna knows this, and he intends to proceed accordingly without delay and without mercy. Therefore,
 III.-The representation of the Demo- cratic South in the House of Representa- tives and in the Electoral College is to be cut down one-fifth.
 IV-The Harrison force bill is to be re- vived and enacted into law.
 V.-The Dingley tariff is to be revised (using the war revenue bill as means of approach) in the interest and for the ex- elusive benefit of its children, the trusts.
 VI.-The large military establishment needed to protect the trusts in the accumL- lations wrung from the necessities of the people is to be provided.
 Achievement by injunction is to be distinctly legalized and every detail pro- vided for.
 VIII-The currency laws are to be amended on lines laid down by the national banks.
 IX.-Al strikes hereafter are to be ad- judicated by Federal judges and settled by Federal troops. X-The ship subsidy bill is to be passed. with other steals to follow.
 XL-The Nicaragua canal is to be aban- doned
 XII.-Cuba Is to be annexed and footed.
 xIII-Porto Rico is not to be admitted as a territory until its resources are en- tirsly within the control of the trusts.

ARMOR PLATE.
From the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
 We hope it is not too early to congratu- late the Hon. John D. Long upon his victory over the armor plate ring. The news is given out apparently with the stamp of authority, that the Secretary of the Navy has brought the corporae hogs to terms, and that the government is to get armor plate for the new ships at "a req sonable price," It is true that the figure stated as the probable price is somewhat vague and indefinite, but it appears to be less than the armor plate people demand ed There is glory even in this for Secre- tary Long.
 The information given out is to the effect that the three hundred and sixty thousand tons of armor required for the worships now building will be purchased at a price which department officials believe vii, he satisfactory all around" It is also stated have been graciously made by the, manu- lecturers, though mention of the extent of these "concessions" is scrupuously avoid- ed. The only definite feature of the trans action is that Andrew Carnegie will get the lions share of the profits It goes without saying, however, that there -;,, also be profits to a number of middlemen and if Abner be not in the deal then Ap- ner has lost his cunning Whether or not the Carnegie bids would have been the lowest and best' had not the canny Scot ceased to shiver at the spectre of imperial ism at the right time is a question which belongs to that long category of unsolved and insolube mysteries approved by the people at the polls last week.
 Originally the lowest price demanded by the armor plate combine was $i45 ton and royalties. The latter item would have run the cost up to figure that could not have been justified by the most expert manipu- lator It is intimated that if all the royal ties have not been refused at least they have been greatly shaved down. It is upon this supDosition that congratulations tc MT. Long are due, if they are due at all.
