Apalachicola Times comes out and saws
that the Tallahasseean misuuoted Can

explain the situation:
"Carrabelle, Nov. II, 1901.
Editor Tallahasseean:-The Ana
lachicola Times says that l was mis-
quoted in the TallahasSeean of Nov.
1st, in the article headed, 'Carrabelle
Port
1.-The Times says that the sum spent
at West Pass was $4,000, instead of
$4,000. That | will cOncede to be the
fact, but l will stand pat on everything
else in the article. The Times has it,
and not one cent for Carrabelle. The
TallahaSSeean reads, And not one cent
for East Pass, the entrance to Cara
belle.
Now If the $4,000 which was spent
at the mouth of Carrabelle river is to
be considered, let the sum of the total
which, l think will amount to about
$4,000 against (according to reliable
infOrmatiOn) over 5000, 900 spent at the
(cut) mouth of the Apalachicola river
be considered also.
The Times says that if by giving
Carrabelle five pilot commissioners,
five county commissioners, the GUS
toms house, and court house, ,they
could secure deep water they would
willingly do so.
Carrabelle simply asks for her
rightS-a Board of Pilot Commission
erS, whose members are in harmony
with the interests of the port. AS to
those other necessary adjunets, they
will in due time be located in their
natural position at Carrabelle.

The great advance in methods and
facilities for manufacturing and dis
tributing commodities of daily use, and
the vast opportunity which this cOun-
try presents for the rapid growth in
popularity and sale Of any article
which is in a considerable degree
superior to what has heretofore been
supplied, is strongly illustrated in the
phenomenal achievements of The
Thos. G. Plant Company, who are now
known throughout this country and,
in fact, all over the civilized world, as
the makers of the famous Queen
Quality ShOe," which has recently been
awarded the Gold Medal at the Pan:
American Exposition at Buffalo.
Beginning about three years ago
with the theory that a superior shoe,
combining all of the essentials of the
finest footwear, could be produced at
a cost that would permit it's being re-
tailed at $500 a pair, the makers of
the Queen Quality Shoe have fully
demonstrated the SOundnesS of their
theory and have accomplished what
they undertook to an extent that is
little short of marvellous.
The factory that produces these
shoes turns out eight thousand pairs
a day and employs over twenty-three
hundred people, and the sales of its
products have eclipsed all records in
the history of footwear; being now
sold in $500 cities and towns by eX-
elusive agencies carefully selected. The
agency in Tallahassee is held by D.

A puny child is always an anxiety 10
the parents. There seems generally no
reasons why the little one should Io
weak when it is so we'll fed. But the
fact is that it does not matter how
much food the child takes if the stOm-
ach cannot extract, the nOuriShment
from it. No benefit can be derived from
just eating. The stomach and organs
OF digestion and nutrition are not do
ing their work, and the body is really
starving. 1t is little use 10 give fish
foods, like cod liver oil or emulsiOnS,
in such a case, because these also have
to be digeSted; they may tighten the
StOmach'S labor but they don't
strengthen it. Strength is what the
stomach needs. DR.. Pierec's Golden
Medical Discovery strengthens the
stomach, nOuTisheS the nerves and in
creaseS the action of the blood making

preparation for children's use, on ac-

The Connecticut legislature has been

to Joseph Spencer, one OF the two major
generals from the state in the revolution.
The report OF Dewets insanity recalls
the story of Abraham Lincoln and his wish
to supply his other generals with the same

One region around Plant CITY, Fla, will
ship this season about 100000 quarts Of
strawberries. The growers expect to re-
ceive an average of 10 cents per quart,
which would make the crops value 100000.
When the committee of fifteen raded a
number of gambling saloons in New York
1t was found that many of the tables were

those who think that this discovery will
make those places unpopular when they re-
open have a very slight knowledge Of
human nature.

The Enlarged Army.

portland OrcgOnian.
The most important act passed by the
Fifty-sixth congress was the law authoriz-
ing the permanent increase OF the regular
army. This legislation secures success to
the government in its work of restoring
peace and order in the Philippines. Even
at its present enlarged figures our army is
but small body for the work that is before
1t. When we remember that this country
has an available force OF more than 10, 900, =
900 men fit for military duty, and neverthe-
less has an organized militia force OF only
114000 men, 1t can hardly be said that in
time of peace we show any disposition to
prepare for war. To this organized militia
New York contributes 14,194. Pennsylvania
9,722. Illinois 7,1g2, Ohio $3.50 and Massa-
chusetts $685.

EXPECTING ACCEPTANCE.

1t is said to be the expectation in
official circles at Washington that the
Cuban convention will accept the condi-
tions proposed by the American con-
gress. This may not be done at once,
but it is thought that eventually the
members of the convention will con.
cludc that the interests and welfare Of
Cuba, as an Independent commonwealth,
will be best promoted and conserved
by according to the United States the
concessions asked.
The language of President Mckinley
in his inaugural address ought to have
reassuring effect upon the Cubans, or
at least such of them as desire to main-
tain close relations with this country
Unfortunately there appears to be some
of the politicians who are Indifferent
in regard to this, possibly from II feel
ing that IL what this government asked
should be granted it might interfere
with their designs. 1t Is quite cOnceiv-
able that some of the Cuban politicians
may have purposes not conducive to the
future peace and order of the island.
MI. MChlulty uctlhlcu thut thc Pui-
poses announced in the resolution of
congress of April 20, 1898, must be made
good. That is, that Cuba must have
an independent government. but that
| government must be capable of per-
| forming all the functions and obliga-
tions Of sovereign commonwealth. 1t
must be capable, as the president said,
."of observing its international obliga-
| tions, OF protecting life and property,
insuring order, safety and liberty and
conforming to the established and his
torical policy of the United States In
its relations to Cuba" Certainly this
should be the wish of all patriotic Gu
bans. Their aim should be to place
their government ON SO firm and stable
basis and to safeguard 1t so COM
pletely that 1t will be secure
against internal trouble or external
danger. The republic of Cuba must
be made safe from possible do
nestle usurpation and from foreign
cupidity. Everybody knows the Span
ish. American tendency to revolution.
The revolutionary spirit is ever alive
in the states OF South and Central
America. There is no reason to believe
that 1t may not be manifested in Cuba,
particularly II there should be no curb
! ing and restraining influence. The in
terests of the United States, not less
than the welfare of Cuba, require that
all proper means, not Incompatible with
Cuban independence, be adopted to
, guard against domestic disorder and
outside interference. We do not want
to be compelled at some time In the
future to suppress revolution In Cuba
, nor do we want to be drawn into q
> quarrel with some foreign power
) through the blunders or the folly of {
) Cuban government.
, 1t is urged that what the United
Q States asks of Cuba initiates agains
! independence, that 1t imposes a re
Q striction upon sovereignty. If 1t be ad
{ mitted that there is something in thi
( contention, there still remains 10 b.

LIGHTNING TRAINS At HANDs
Marvellous Speed Achievements Prom
ised in GcrmDny.

New York World.
That the railway train OF the future Is to
outdo that of the present in speed almost
as today's train outdoes the stage coach
which 1t succeeded Is not a matter of mere
dreaming. The high speeds already devol-
oped in trials on short stretches of track
have revealed marvellous possibilities for a
time to come. Even so tremendous "a rate
as 1870 miles an hour stands on record for
one two mile trial on a bit Of the Burling-
ton route.
There is no country to which the at
portant than to our own. Therefore the
news OF promised speed achievements in
Germany must have peculiar interest for
us. The engineers of the kaiser's land are
indeed confidently hoping to lead the world
in the realization of the ideal railroad.
They are basing their expectations on the
development OF the electric motor. With
two cars now building, to be tried on a
military line designated by the government,
they believe they will be able to show a
sustained speed of l25 to l55 miles per hour.
Consul reports bring this news to Wash
ington The importance of the tidngs to
America is indicated by considering what 1t
wou'd d mean to bring the Pacific coast within
a couple OF days OF the Atlantic, to have
Chicago, St. Louis. New Orleans and other
great centers within riding distance OF six
to ten or twelve hours from the metropolis.
Surely II the Germans prove right as to
their solution of the motor problem our own
engineers will easily remove what barriers
TO real lightning trains lie in grades and
unsuitable roadbeds.

THE EAST MUST BE INSTRUCTED.
A Campaign of Education ON the Sub
ject of Irrigation.

Salt Lake Tribune.
The education OF the people of the east
on the subject OF irrigation ought to go on.
We believe that no country has ever yet
been densely populated wherein the people
have not relied upon irrigation to make
their land capable OF supporting the inhabit-
ants 1t was so in Egypt, it was so in
Chaldea, 1t is so today in India and China
Thousands of people in the eastern states
spend hours every day in the summer in
sprinkling their flowers and early vegeta-
bles, but they will sit down in despair and
see their crops perish under a drouth, even
when beautiful stream runs through their
fields and the facilities are at hand to
cheaply turn the streams out upon their
land.
or course there are many places where
there are no streams, but there is ample
water near the surface Of the ground, and
pumping has become very cheap in these
modern days. 1t will be resorted to more
and more when enough object lessons are
supplied in the west to cause those people
to realize that, after all, the life of the
earth Is the moisture that It contains that
without II no more food could be supplied
to mankind. BY and by the big farms will
be cut up; 1t will be as it is in southern
Europe men will be supporting families
will be forced to learn how TO get the ut
most from the soil. Where civilization
first lighted her lamps on the eastern conti-
nent, nature itself supplied the object les
son to the people,
The lordly Nile brought its treasures
down and spread them, with her waters,
upon the land with every season. And
before the people knew aught of fertilizers,
they were supplied by the benefcent river,
and the soil was every year renewed. 1t
| is not strange that the people learned TO
| look upon the great river as the deity which
was their providence.
The world ought still to be studying that
| mercy that was given to the first of the
race. The same mercies are flowing out
of the hills OF the arid west, only here 1t Ia
left for man to find the way to lure them
from their banks and cause them to trans
form the desert into fields smiling under the
| gold OF the harvest.
The west has few electoral votes, and
politicians work mostly for personal and
party advantages But IL the eastern people
can be made to understand this question
of irrigation they will eventually supply
| the public opinion which the politicians
dare not oppose.
The possibilities of the arid region must
be advertised. The miners have knocked
| at the doors OF the barren mountains, anC
they have responded by revealing theiI
treasures,
In the same way there are millions Of acres
lying wrapped in the serge of the deser
which only need the leaven Of moisture tC
convert them into the most productive lands
OF the republic,
The west has given to the east a steadil!
swelling stream Of treasure for half a cen
tury, and changed ours from a fourth rat,
land to the foremost of the earth IL Is
little thing for the west to ask OF tn,
country that It have help TO do this needet
work, and when the east understands 1t tn,
petition will be granted.

COLLAPSE or THE DEMOCRACY.
striking Evidence of Party Disintc-
eration in Two Years.

St Louis Globe Democrat
Tho failure Of the democracy TO mako
any headway against the administration or
the republican policy in general during the
last two years is one Of the most striking
OF the political phenomena Of tho time.
The republican program on all important
subjects has been denounced by the demo-
cratic press aud by democratic politicians
in and out of congress, but the policy, in
all It's important features. has been car
ried out. The last two years has been re-
markablo in this respect. On one or two
measures, as ON Porto Rico and the ship
ping bill there has been slight break
among the republicans, but no measure OF
any partizan importance except the ship
ping bill has failed
In every contest of any consequence be-
tween the democrats and the republicans
in the last two years the republicans have
been victorious. They have usually been
victorious by q larger majority than their
actual prepondorance in the two cham
bers. The democratic dcmagogucs in the
press and in congress condemned the army
reorganization bill and forctod the over
throw Of the republic as a consequence VI
its passage. but 1t was enacted by safe
margin. The gold standard bill was fought
iicrcely. but it was put on the statute
book. Maleyolcnt opposition was made TO
tho propositions defining the relations Of
the United States to Cuba and providing
| a civil government for the Philippines but
both OF them went through by a broad
margin.
The failure OF the democracy TO make
any sort of a respectable resistance to
republican policy has been complete and
decisive. Whenever the republicans needed
any votes from the democrats on any ques-
tion. or imagined they needed them. the
votes were obtained. The democratic line
was broken as often as the republicans
made any attempt to break II. There has
been no leadership among the democrats
Not the slightest semblance Of authority
| in his party was welded by any democrat
in the house or senate. There are so
| called leaders of the democracy in both
chambers, but nobody on their side paid any
attention to thgm. The republicans were
Overwhelmingly victorious on all issues on
which there was anything like a partizan
| fight. The sweeping triumphs which the
republicans have made for the last two
! years on all important measures OF party
| policy form a record of partizau supremacy
J which has seldom been equaled in the an
nails Of congress.

Is Physical Exercise Necessary for
the Health of Brain Workers.


The pleasantly of the late William NJ.
Evarts in a dinner table conversation with
Senator Depew to the effect that he at
tributed his long life. general good health
and ability to commit all sorts OF CASTRO
nomic ndiscretions to the fact that he never
took any exercise. has been much quoted
and very generally misunderstood. In
sense Mr. Evarts stated what for him was
probably truth based upon long and in
tellgently observed experience. With
proper allowance for the exaggeration
natural under the circumstances, he merely
stated what a great many wise men firmly
believe, that for one whose intense mental
activities involve a constant waste Of tissue,
rest Is vastly moro recuperative than
further waste OF tissue in the expenditure
Of physical energy. Whether exercise for
the sake of exercise is necessary and de-
sirable depends very much upon circum-
stances. Primarily, it is largely matter
Of temperament. Some men would become
sick. and perhaps die, II deprived OF the
opportunity TO do a great deal Of hard
physical work; others would ruin their
health and shorten their lives IL they did
not give to rest the time usually prescribed
for exercise.
Statistically. u has been found that the
greatest average longevity belongs to the
so called professional class. which includes
men OF letters, scientists, instructors, min
isters, poets and others who use their
brains as other men do their muscles.
The next in order Of longevity is the mer-
chant class. 1t needs no argument TO es-
tablish the fact that these two classes OF
men do more headwork and take less sys-
tematic exercise than any other classes
which admit of statistical segregation.
Farmers are, we believe, at or near the
bottom OF the list in the order OF longevity
at least In this country. This is prob
able due to variety of causes, but the
fact efiectually disposes OF the contention
that systematic and continuous exercise
makes for longevity. One need but com
pare the typical farmer OF so with the
typical city merchant o. the same age 10
recognize the fact that the latter has much
the finer and more complete development
and is likely to live to ripper old age.
There are, OF course, exceptions to every
rule, but by exceptions rules are proved.
1t is a growing conviction among students
OF vital statistics that tissue waste, how
