Decision In Favor Of Florida.

In the United States supreme court at
Washington Monday an opinion was
handed down in the case of the governor
and the officials of the state of Florida
vs.. Charles w. Furman. The case in
volved title to Anastasia island, consist
ing of about $500 acres, near st. Angus
tine. The state claims it under the
United States swamp land law, while
Furman based his claim u on the alleged
grant of the island by the Spanish gov
ernment 10 Joseph Fish, an ancestor of
his. in 1895. The opinion of the circuit
court for the Southern district of Florida
was favorable to Furman, but the opinion
of the supreme court reversed that find
ing and issued directions to dismiss the
bill, because Furman failed TO show
complete legal title from the king of
Spain and because he claim was barred
by statute"
Justices Shiras and Peckham dissented.

Kissimmee last week under a decree of
Judge Jones In bulk were bid in by Mr..
@. w. Ward, in behalf of the majority OF
the bond holders for S70,O0O. The de-

to what course will be pursued by the,
new owners, whether the land will be
placed on the market within the reach Of
small buyers, or whether the new ownerss
will develop the property themselves.

A recent copy of the Pensacola
News had a short article to the
effect that those who pay taxes
have done their entire duty in
maintaining the schools, and that
70 demand of them that they shall
do more by providing additional
schools for the unwilling is to i'm
pose an unwelcome and super
fiuous burden. To these remarks
the editor of Florida School Ex-
ponent replies as follows:
Public education in any form is
perilously near the danger line of
socialism, and its natural tendency
to move in that direction should
be vigilantly watched and st0utly
resisted by all who love liberty
and hold sacred the rights of the
individual. Compulsory education
is socialism In its most dangerous
and offensive form. The only ar
gument that can be adduced in
favor of it is founded upon an un-
supported and questionable as
sumption, that a smattering OF
book knowledge necessarily makes
a better citizen-an assumption
justified neither by the logic of rea-
son nor experience. Education
makes men neither better nor
worse. 1t makes for power, that is
all. In the name of common sense
and common honesty, let US cease
to pretend to believe what we
know to be false, that we can make
a civilized man out of a savage by
teaching him to read and write
and cipher.
In the light of the experience of
half century, the fiction that the
state exercises its educative func-
tion as a matter of self-protection
through the creation, of a higher
order of citizenship is "too thin
and base" for the serious consider
ton of sensible men. There is a
raison d'etre for the public school,
but il does not lie there; there is a
workifor public education, but its
mission is not the regeneration of
mankind nor the working out of a
higher social order.

Arrest the Migrants.

The law against vagrants, both white
and black, should be sternly enforced.
The recent occurrence i'm Atlanta Is an
instance of what this idle and lettering
class may do.
The vagrant negro is one of the great
est evils in our southern communities.
The city and county officers everywhere
should arrest all idle men, whether white
or black. There is plenty of work for
every man to do these days. There is no
excuse for idleness and lettering. There
is scarcity of labor on the farms, and
many of the industries are running short
Of hands. There should not be single
vagrant In any community.
This Is not matter to be temporized
with. It demands prompt action from
the officers Of the law.

New Cuban Constitution.

The proposed new document of the
Cuban constitution declares Cuba SOW
ereign and independent state, under a
republican form OF government 1t con-
tains liberal provisions as to citizenship;
guarantees equal rights to all Cubans,
forbids discrimination against any one
because of religious belief or form of
worship, and proclaims the separation of
church and state. 1t vests executive
power in president, chosen by a direct
popular vote for a term of four years.
The congress is to be composed of a SEN
ate and house of representatives. Each
of the six provinces is to elect six sena-
tors for term of six years, by direct
vote. The representatives are to serve
for four years, and are to be apportioned
on the basis of population.

Lakeland;s Strawberries.

The Southern Express company Is
doubling the capacity Of strawberry
depot at Lakeland, an improvement
made necessary BY reason Of the increase
in shipments over last season. Last sea-
son 500, 600 was sent into that section
for strawberry shipments and it seems
that sum will be considerably exceeded
during the present season. One day last
week the Lakeland Ice Works furnished
nearly seven tons OF ice for the purpose
of packing strawberry boxes at the Lake
land depot.

THE SCHLEY VERDICT.

The Schley courtof inquiry cen
sured the commander Of the flying
squadron very severely for his
management of the squadron and
the refusal to obey orders. After
the report OF the full court was
made.up Admiral Dewey added a
few personal findings which were
intended to take the curse off the
censuresof Schley. While Schley
was in command at the battle Of
Santiago, it must be admitted that
the entire blockade squadron at
Santiago was in command of Samp-
son up to the moment that his vessel,
with him on board, steamed for an
eastern port that Sunday. mornin g.
a departure that undoubtedly caused
Cervera to leave the harbor and
Sampson was entitled to the credit
Of the blockade mp TO the time of
leaving. The court censures Schley
severely for disobeying orders
while cruising with the flying
squadron in search Of the Spanish
vessels, and Admiral Dewey joins
in this censure. It's findings on the
famous Brooklyn loop are anything
but pleasant to Schley, inasmuch as
they declare that it stopped the
Texas, which stop, if it had not
been made, would have resulted in
the latter boat being run down by
ISchley S flagship.
At best, the investigation leaves
sores on all parties concerned, and
T is a bad blot on a brilliant victory.
