majority. It was his impression that
the general public recognized the great
benefit the road would be to the city,
and would willingly grant the lease.
Chairman Quaile also spoke in favor
of the report.
Councilman EdmOndsOn made a mo-
ton, which was seconded by Council
man Randolph, that action be postpon-
ed until the regular January meeting.
At this juncture Senator Mann, who
is representing the railroad company,
urged upon the Council the fact that
the company had very short time in
which to construct the road, and de-
law would be very inconvenient. He
also stated that such delay might re-
suit in the selection of some other sit
for depot.
After further discussion, a vote was
taken, which resulted in the adoption
of the motion.

birds OF A FEATHER"


The cartoon in a recent issue of the
Atlanta Journal, taKen from the North
American, is the most appropriate we
have seen. 1t is entitled Birds of a
Feather" In one group can be seen
Rear Admiral Schley, Admiral Dewey
and General Miles, men who won honor
and distinction by facing the enemy in
actual battle. They are pictured stand
ing on the bridge of a battleship. The
import is that General Miles, COM
mander of the United States Army, and
Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila,
each the highest officer in his branch
of service, regard Schley as the real
hero of Santiago. They are brave men
who would give honor where honor is
due.
The other group shows Sampson, the
man who left Santiago on the eve of
battle, seated with Benham and Ram
sey, around the mess table, enjoying a
bowl of steaming punch. The infer
ence is plain. Benham and Ramsey are
toy sailors. They are parlOr Orna-
ments who won promotion through ia
vOriteism in times of peace. And
Sampson! Well, Sampson is a tin
sailor, too. Through being a pet of
the navy clique he was promoted to
command of a squadron over men more
worthy the honor. He is not satisfied
with this, however, and must add in
suit to injury by trying to steal the
honors of the glorious victory of San
tiago from the man who won the bat
tie.
The cartoon is most happy. 1t could
not be more appropriate. Yea, verify,
birds of a feather do flock together
The carrion-eating buzzard must neces-
sarily associate with buzzards. He Is
too groVeling to be found in company
with the lOrdly eagle. Right here is
the simile: Dewey, Schley and Miles
represent the eagles of the American
army and navy; Sampson, Benham and
Ramsey the buzzards. They are the
graveyard ghouls who delight in pluck
ing at the carcasses of real heroes
One thing is missing in the picture
to make it complete-'Histo Mac
lay should be represented in the group
of buZZardS.

COUNCIL CRITICISED.

The City Council has been arraigned
iduring the past week for spending
$3.50 for advertising in a holiday issue
of the Florida Times Union and Giti-
1 zen, to appear shortly. 1t is deplora-
sble fact that some one in this commu-
snity is always read yto criticise when
smoney is spent for advertising-ra-
kgardless of the channel through which
Sit is expended. And it is perhaps
Elargely attributable to this fact, that
Bthe attractions of this section have
Snever been properly put before the
<wOrld-and kept there.
We have the finest agricultural lands
fin the world, but the great army of
SindustriOus hOmeSeekers do not know
Eit, and are constantly pouring into less
Favored countries whose few attrac-
StiOnS are kept, prominently before
Sthem. Millions of dollars are annually

poses, where two crops in five years is

e 1t is true, perhaps, that the Council

thas always felt that in return for it!

THAT REFUSAL.

1t was asserted after the close of the
coupon contest last week that this Of
fee refused to sell papers to those sup
porting the young lady next highest
in the contest and thereby helped Miss
Maxwell to win. We regret the neces-
sity for making this statement, but
when such a motive as that is attribut-
ed to us we are always in position to
meet and refute it.
We started that contest for the pur-
pose of selling TallahasSeeans, and
printed great many more than were
sold each week. We urged the friends
of both sides to place their orders be .
fore the closing day, because we wanted
to sell the papers, and because we
knew that if they run out the defeated
side would make some foolish charge.
No orders came. When the last issue
went to press we had on hand about
600 copies (estimated), and printed
something over $50 more. Monday the
Woodville people came in and bought
all they wanted. Thursday-after the
forms had been torn down and a new
paper almost completely made up-the
town boys came in for a large number.
ABOUT 1,5O0 they said.
We did not have that many; bue we
did have sos and gladly sold them.
knowing absolutely nothing about how
the vote would stand, because we had
been mailing and sending out by car
rier in this city nearly 400 extra cou-
pOns each week and could not tell how
many Oh these would be voted.
These boys, however, insisted on us
putting the coupon on the job press and
running off ballots for them. THIS
WE REFUSED TO DO, and we want
to say right now we will never do that
in any contest. We are running these
voting contests to sell papers and do
not propose to vote tickets in them
from any other source.
J We realize that our refusal to do as

POSTPONED ACTION.

The committee appointed by the City
Council at its special meeting Wednes-
day night of last week, to investigate
the matter of granting a lease of the
city reserve to the Tallahassee South
eastern Railroad Company for period
of ninety-nine years, met with the
Council at noon Friday.
The committee consisted of Council
men Ball, EdmOndSOn and Quaile, the
latter acting as chairman. Mr.. Quaile
reported in favor of the city granting
the lease at an annual rental of one
dollar. The report specified that the
railroad company Obligate itself to put
the reserve in proper shape and erect
a depot and other necessary buildings
by January, 1903. The railroad COM
pany was to agree further, to have lIs
shops, Offices and general headquarters
mere. This report was signed by
Messrs. Quaile and Ball.
A minority report was submitted.
signed by J. A. EdmOndson, which re-
commended pOstpOnement of action by
the Council until its regular January
session. In this report Mr.. Edmond
son emphasized the fact that the Coun-
Gil should not be too hasty in matters
of such great Importance. He advised
caution, and thought that more time
was necessary to maze a thorough in
Vestgatlon OF the subject and ascer-
tain the wishes of the people.
Councilman Ball made few remarks
| IN favor OF the report submitted by the
The Weekly Tallahasseean., 1901-12-27
the nearest direction that can be given
is something like this.

the nearest direction that can be given
is something like this:
''Say, mister, can you tell me where
Mr.. John Smith liyes:'
Let me see; keep on down this
street, one, two, three blocks, then
turn to the left; continue two blocks
that way and turn to the right. Fol-
low that street until you come to+a
large store house with couple of live
oaks in the front yard. Turn to the
left here and you will find a big gate.
After going through this gate, continue
until you reach a path on the right
just before coming to the forks Of the
road. Don't take this path, but the
next one, which will take you to the
back of Mr.. Browns barn, and he will
tell you where Mr.. Smith lives"
Now, this is very lucid description,
and ought to enable a person to find
his destination. 1t does not, though,
and not one person in one hundred can
find a place thus pointed out. How
much better would it be were street
names on every corner, and all houses
numbered.
This hint is thrown out to the City
Council in the hopes that it will be
acted on. The suggestion will meet
the approval of large majority of the
people.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

Christmas, 1901, is now a memory.
To some it will remain as pleasant
dream, day full of happy recollec-
tions. To the little folks especially
will it be remembered as a most de-
lightful epoch in their little lives. They
look upon the visit of Santa Claus as
an important event, and his future
visits will be just as eagerly longed for
until the happy hallucinatiOn Of child
hood shall have been dispelled.
Many iconoclasts favor abolishing
Santa Claus, claiming that the decep-
ton teaches and sanctions falsehood.
Away with such niceties! Who would
deprive innocent childhood of the
pleasure of plotting and planning for
the visit of Santa Claus? Perish the
thought!
Dear Old Santa Claus!-that mys-
terious being who is the patron saint
of all the good, little boys and girls in
Christendom! He has made glad the
hearts of countless thousands since
that babe was born in the manger at
Bethlehem, just 1901 years ago. May
his visits continue to bring joy and
gladness to human hearts and homes
as long as time lasts!
Inc Christmas just passed was a
pleasant one to many. To others it
was a sorrOwful occasion, as it per-
haps witnessed the death of some loved
one. We are not looking on the dark
side of the picture, however, and while
sympathizing with the sorrowful ones,
must remind them of the glorious
promise held out and commemorated
by Christmas.
The day passed off quietly in Talla-
hassee. There were no disturbances
worth mentioning to mar the pleasures
of the multitudes. Services at the diff
ferent churches were we'll attended and
the people generally had a good time.
me closing week of the first year of
the twentieth century has about ended,
and before another issue of The TaIla-
hasseean reaches its readers the old
year will be dead, and the new one
ushered in. The year just closing has
been a memorable one, one worthy of
the twentieth century. 1t has wit
messed many improvements all over
the world. Pin Tallahassee the advance
ment has been marked. More i'm
prOvements are now going on here
than ever before at one time. In 1902
the onward march will be even more
gratifying. During the year to come
two new railroads will be copleted and
running into the city, the enlargement
to the State Capitol will be accom-
pliShed, and many new residences and
business houses will be erected.
In closing this article and welcom-
ing the incoming year, we can not re-
frain from wishing our readers and the
public generally a happy and prosper
Gus New Year.
