S 1t was referred to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
"The purpose Of my resolution, y

The Philadelphia Press says !:

"The Transvaal sustains both a
moral and military loss by the death
of General Joubert. A moral loss,
because, hoaoever capable bis sncces.
sor may be, he cannot enjoy the
prestige of generation of victory.
A military loss, because General
JoubHrt had q minute personal &C,

Lord Kitchener Prai.
ses General
Roberts.

As showing the estimate in which
one brave man can hold another,
even though they should be brought
into apparent rivalry with each
other, the following utterancss Of
Lord Kitchener are significant.
"I had always wished" writes the
hero of the Soudan "to serve under
Lord Roberts, and I am thankful to
have had this opportunity. He is a
very tower of strength"
Such praise from Gen. Kitchener
shows, not only that he is above all
petty jealousy, but settles definitely
the reports that Lord Roberts was
only a fgurehead. That a man
almost seventy years old could do all
that Roberts has done in South
Africa in the way Of mental and
physical labor never ceases to be a
theme of praise and wonder in Eng
land.
A London journal contains an
interesting sketch of the hero Of the
hour, and brings out some curious
points in his military career.
"The contrast between 1898 and
1900 in regard to his status and the
place he occupies then and nOW is
so extraordinary that it calls for
something more than a passing re-
mark" says that paper. cat the
earlier date, when he returned from
India at the end Of his prolonged
tenure of the post Of commander in-
chief, be VAS looked upon as a very
ill-used person, and no doubt so
thoughs himself, He knew, and ma.
turaIly better than anybody else,
taat ne was still full OF life and go,
despite his sixty-Odd years. He
believed in himself, too, and man
of merit who does not seldom make
much figure in this crooked, worka-
day world. Yet he had but little
hope-it grew to be almost no hope
--of commands or appointments.
There were undoubtedly influences
hostile 10 him IN Pail Mall. He
had been offered by Mr.. Stanbope,
when war minister, the post Of ad-
jutant general Of the army, and be
accepted it, but he was never allowed
70 hold it. That is no more random
slatement, but positive fact. When

FIOrida's Next Governor.

The Democracy of Florida has
called upon the hero of fernando
to lead her in the coming campaign,
and William Sherman Jennings
will take up the affairs of state
which have been so carefully guard
ed and wisely executed by Cover
nor Bloxham.
Personal favOrites had To be sac
rifced in jacksonville last week.
and no one regrets more than we
do that Brevard's favorite candi-
date-Hon. J. ID. Begg-had to gives
up the fight; but we are all one
now and we extend our congratu-
lations to Mr.. Jennings. He will
have our aid the same as though
our favorite had received the nomi-
nation.
The fight was a fair one. strictly
within party rules, no bitterness.
no offensiveness was noticeable
throughout the contest.
The fact that all the other places
with one exception were filled by
the old officers being ren0minated
shows that the affairs of our state
have been wisely administered for
the past four years.

Mr.. Hill Cannot Be Nominated.

made the canvass of Democratic
newspapers for vice president finds
that the majority of the editors ia
'vor Ex-senator Hill, of New York
Tor Bryan'S running mate over any
nther man who has been mentioned
IN connection with the position.
One of the main reasons why Mr..
Hill would be Il strong nominee is
BECAUSE he could carry New York
ii any man could. The best in
-iormed leaders ia the Democratic
Jarty say that we must carry New
York To win. Mr.. Hill thoroughly
Knows the political situation in
hat state. He has II strong person
Il following there, and would not
'nly have the support If his party
put also that of independent voters.
The great difficulty toward nom
mating Mr. Hill for vice president
will come in when the formation
ia platform that will conciliate
the Western Democrats and the
Democrats of New York is taken
up. 1t now seems that the difficult
ties in the way o. nominating MIR.

possible of the cordiality and hos
pitality of the good people of the
metropolis. Nothing was TOO good
for the visitors on this great Occa-
sion, and Jacksonville certainly did
herself proud in every respect. Her
business men, her political leaders,
her newspaper men, all and every
body, appointed themselves a COM
mittee of one to make it pleasant
for everyone. and they succeeded
in that most thoroughly. Years
hence the delegates, the candidates,
and their friends will have pleas
ant "reminiscences of the last grand
Democratic state convention, held
in jacksonville.

The attitude of congress in re-
spect to two things, among others,
during its recent session, is likely
to cause the Republican party
trouble. 1t refused to pass the anti
trust bill and it did not fix approx
imately the time for bringing to an
end our military occupation of Gu
ba. The antitrust bill was passed
by the house and sent to the SEN
ate. The latter body referred it to
the judiciary committee, and there
it will rest until after the presiden-
tial campaign. Senator Bacon was
right in saying that congress ought
not to adjourn until that bill had
been passed. The Democratic
members of the house demanded
that adjournment should not take
place until the antitrust bill had
been acted upon, but the Republi-
cans only laughed at them. 1t is
doubtful if the Republicans, when
they introduced it, had any inten-
ton of passing it before the presi
dental election. They simply
wanted to get credit for favoring
antitrust legislation.
The Cubans are getting very un-
easy respecting the continued occu-
patton of their island by our mill
:ary forces, without any under
standing as to when the occupation
-hall cease. They think that there
is a purpose in this country to re-
tain possession of the island. If
that idea becomes widespread, there
will, in all probability, be trouble
in Cuba, and the Republican party
will be to blame for it. rs that party
controls congress. \ congressional
resolution, that Cuba would be
turned over to its people within
one year, or two years, would have
satisfied conservative Cubans and
d >armrd those disposed to make
trouble.
