HORDE POLITICS.
The New Congressional District and the
Primary System.

The New Congressional District and the
Primary System.
A correspondent for several daily
papers. writing from Tallahassee on the
subject Of state politics says:
Florida is great state politically, as it
Is IN numerous other matters. The crea-
tion of new congressional district has
made some new politics for Florida,
which may bring about new political
alliances and break up many plans al
ready adopted by some Of the Democratic
politicians. Already in this, the new
Third congressional district, a young and
active set of politicians have been devel-
oped, most of whom are anxious TO be-
come Florida's new congressman, and
judging from the political maneuverings
of number of them, who desire to
represent the state at Washington, they
must imagine that the campaign is now
in full blast, despite the fact that the
election is more than fourteen months in
the future.
But there is another important fight
ahead of the Florida Democracy. Ii is
clearly apparent that a contest of no
small dimensions is brewing on the prim
ary question In almost every nook and
corner of the state Democrats are heard
denouncing the primary system of nomi-
mating candidates for office. The OppO-
nents of the primary are heard TO urge
that the system will transform the Dem
Ocratic party from popular party of the
people into rich mans party, since only
the rich are able to put up the enormous
sums required to conduct primary cleo
ton. This fight, it is claimed, will be
inaugurated in the State Democratic COM
mittee the first time it assemblies.
On the other hand it is concluded that
this is not the time to precipitate such a
| fight in the party, though it is bound to
come sooner or later The claim is made
that the primary system now practically
has the unanimous Endorsement of the
party, having been adopted by the last
state convention by an overwhelming
vote, last June. Later both congressional
conventions did likewise, and the legis-
lature of 1901 gave its approval to this
action of the party by enacting primary
election law.
Upon these facts Democrats contend
that the state committee is not the proper
body To settle this all-important question
that the party must settle it by popu-
lar vote, or by a state conveation to
which delegates shall be chosen with
that understanding.
Under the existing conditions there are
many Democrats who are not welded TO
the primary system, but are decidedly in
favor of giving it a fair trial, under the
new primary law. before contest shall
be made for change.

Democratic Harmony.

In the current issue of The Com
moner Mr.. Bryan comments at
considerable length on the recent
interview which Senator Vest, of
Missouri, gave To the Kansas City
Times. In this interview Mr.. Vest
pointed out how, in his opinion,
harmony in the Democratic party
could be secured. With some of
the views of Mr.. Vest Mr.. Bryan
agrees and with others he does not.
Mr.. Bryan does not think that
the free silver issue should be
dropped. Mr.. Vest took the posi-
tion that the immense output of
gold in recent years had practically
settled that question for the pres
ent.
Mr.. Bryan fnus fault with Mr..
Vest because he said nothing about
government by injunction, and
made no reference to the question
of paper money.
He also points out that an in
come tax, which Mr.. Vest favOrs,
is more populistic than the free
coinage of silver, and has many
strong opponents in the Democratic
party.
In the course of his article Mr..
Bryan remarks as follows: "The
senator is very anxious to secure
harmony, but he will find that
there can be no harmony without
the surrender of every essential
principle of Democracy. The men
who voted the Republican ticket
on account of the silver plank are
as a rule opposed to the income
tax, and are also opposed to any
antitrust legislation. They are in
favor of national banks of issue,
and are also in favor of govern
ment by injunction. Even on i'm
perialism many of the Gold Dem
Ocrats have no fixed or definite
convictions. In fact, the only way

AFTER MENTAL SCIENTISTS.
Charged With Fraudulent Use of the
United States Mails.

The Federal courts are now called upon
To determine whether or not Helen Post,
also known as Helen Wilmans, the men,
tai scientist, and her associates, Colonel
Charles &. Post, her husband, and
Charles F. Burgman, her son-in- law,
have been using the United States mails
for fraudulent purposes. These three
persons were arrested at Seahreeze, the
home of mental science, soon after IL
o'clnck Friday morning by Deputy Mar
shal w. III. Mccormick, on Information
sworn to 10y Fred ID. Peer, a postotfice
Inspector of the United States.
The affidavit declares that Helen Post,
alias Helen Wilmans, did devise a scheme
and artitice to defraud divers persons
resident within and ontside Of the United
States, by means of the pOstOfiice estab
lishment of the United States, which
was To be- effected by means of false and
fraudulent representations To be- made by
her through letters, writings, circulars,
pamphlets, and advertisements to the
effect that she possessed the power, 10y
means of what she termed mental

Weakness" thus inducing persons to send
and pay their moneys respectively To her
for the purpose of securing treatment
and being cured of diseases, she thereby
intending merely To obtain and get pos
session of such moneys as should be sent
and paid To her, withnut rendering any

thereby, which said scheme and artifice
was TO be effected by opening commnni-
cation and correspondence by means of
the postoffice establishment.
The atfiant further declares that Helen
Post, Charles +. Burgman and {. G. Post
on the 10th day of May, 1901, did COM
bine, conspire and confederate together
to commit an Offense against the United
States by placing in the postoffice at Sea-
breeze, TO be sent and delivered, large
number of pamphlets entitled "rhe
Highest Power of All, large number
of pamphlets entitled Freedom, Jour
nal of Realistic Idealism," and a large
number of pamphlets entitled "Instruc-
tions TO Patients" all of which contained
advertisements of the fraudulent scheme
and device of the aforesaid Helen Post,
alias Helen Wilmans, Charles F. Burg
man and G. c. Post, they knowing the
said scheme and artifice to be fraudulent,
and devised and intended to obtain mon
ey from divers persons by the fraudulent
means aforesaid in and through the post
Office establishment.

day morning before Commissioner Arch
ibald, in Jacksonville, the plaintiffs Civ

Orlando at the Pan.

An enthusiastic letter has been received
in Orlando from c. f. Howard, now in
charge of Orlando's pineapple exhibit at
the Pan-American fair. He states that
the pineapples sent from that city are
exciting the wonder and admiration of
all who see them, and that the fellows
below" are not in it when it comes to
comparing pineapples with Orlando. He
has the word Orlando" posted up all
over his part of the fair, and thinks that
Orlando is receiving great deal of valu-
able advertising through her magnificent
pineapples.

The Hanaina of Mercer.

The hanging of Mercer, at Tam
pa last Friday, certainly refutes
the statement that is sometimes
carelessly made that white man
cannot be hung in Florida. The
Nervousness of this mans crime
parallels that of the brutal negro
and the only wonder is that he es-
capped mob violence.
Mercer had been proven guilty
of outraging a little girl and her
evidence was sufficient to convict
him.
He had fair and impartial trial
and even after his conviction the
state board of pardons was invoked
to set aside the sentence or COM
mute him to Imprisonment, but
that body refused to do so, though
it prolonged the mans life
month.
Tampa has had hard name for
some time past, whether justly or
not we are unprepared to say, but
the restraint from mob violence in
this case certainly ought to ameli-
crate the conditions of such fact,
if it be true, for if negroes are
burnt at the stake and hung by
mobs for outraging women and
girls and killing white men, there
is little argument that could be ad-
vanced against treating white men
the same way.
The execution last week should
be a great warning to the criminal
element that justice and the law
will be enforced and meted out in
the courts of this state and that
there is no necessity for a resort to
mob violence.
That a white man would debase
himself to such an extent as Mer-
Ger did is most revolving, but at
the same time it is truly marvellous
that father and a community
could restrain their passion sutfi-
ciently to give the man a trial in
the courts and let the law dispose
of him and provide his punish
ment.

Seven Years In Bed.

"Will wonders ever cease?' inquire the
friends of Mrs. L. Pease, of Lawrence,
Kan. They knew she had been unable
to leave her bed in seven years on ac-
count of kidney and liver trouble, nerv-
Gus prostration and general debility; but
''Three bottles of Electric Bitters enabled
me to walk" she writes, ''and in three
months felt like new person." Wo.
men suffering from headache, backache-
nervousness, sleeplessness, melanchol-,
fainting and dizzy spells will find IL II
priceless blessing. Try it. Satisfaction
is guaranteed. Wilson & Son and j. b.

Circuit Judges Appointed.

The judicial machinery OF Florida will
soon be again in good working order, as
the governor has appointed three attor-
neys as judges to fill vacancies. These
appointments are: L. G. Reeves, OF De-
Funiak Springs, to succeed Judge Max
well, of Pensacola, as judge of the First
judicial circuit; B. II. Palmer, Of Lake
City, to succeed Judge John F. White. of
Live Oak, deceased. as judge Of the Third
circuit. and w. S. Bullock, of Ocala, to
succeed w. A. Hooker, of 0cala, as judge
of the Fifth circuit, resigned to accept
supreme court commissionership. Reeves
and Palmer ars both state senators.

to harmonic with the reorganizers
is to allow them 10 control the or
ganization and write a Republican
platform. How much is Senator
Vest willing to give up in order to
bring the gold corporation element
back?"
The question is very fatty put
by Mr.. Bryan, and unless there is
a more willing spirit to give and
take manifested between the two
factions of Democrats there will be
slim chances for their coming to-
|gether and working together in
1904.
II is evident that while Mr.. Bry-
an does not expect to be a candi-
date for the presidency he does
incline to lead the Democratic par
ty. Whether the party will follow
him, or get in line with the senti-
ment of the party as expressed re-
Gently in Ohio, Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, remains to be
seen, but at present we doubt very
much if Mr.. Bryan is leading his
party.

So FAR as we.are able to recall,
says the Savannah News, there has
never been a riot in a southern city
for the purpose of driving the col
ored element out of the public
parks. In Savannah, Charleston,
Jacksonville, Wilmington, Mobile,
Memphis and New Orleans the
parks are often practically monop-
olized by negroes. They come
early and stay late, and occupy the
choice benches and sit nearest the
music when the band plays. 1t is
frequently remarked that they get
the most of the benefits of the
parks, but the white people never
think of driving them away with
clubs and rocks. But in Indian
apolis, Ind, they do things differ
emily. Two riots have already Oc-
Cured there in Fairview park be-
cause the white people object to
the presence of negroes in the
pleasure grounds, and other SINH
lar troubles may occur. In Indiana
the "colored brother" is best loved
when he is several hundred miles
away.
