determined to increase their reve-
nues. There was no claim of any
unusual need of revenue. Not for
years. had traffic been so heavy or
gross receipts so large, but it was in
sisted that the cost IF operation had
been enhanced and net revenues
would therefore be decreased. Com
parisons show, however, that oper-
ating expenses were. less in proper
ton to earnings and net profits were
greater in the fiscal year ending
June. 1900. than thsy have been in
any year in the last ten. Still, the
Republican Congress takes no action.
The Republican press has kept re-
marMbly silent editprially in regard
to the disgraceful language that
passed between Senators Hawley and
Chandler on the floor of the Senate
recently, in which the former de
nouneed the latter as a liar and the
latter declared that the former was
senile. Had Southern Senators been
concerned in this .discreditable cpl
sode, every Republican newspaper in
New England would have gone into
Mysteries over it, and newspapers OF
the same faith in every other part Of
the country would have preached
homiiies on plantation" manners
As it is, no remOnstrance has es.
capped from these sources, and they
have been just as dumb over it as
they have been over the lynchings
in Indiana, Colorado and Kansas.

At Old Tricks Again.

Monday night Policeman Henry
discovered some one in Julius BalPs
saloon, and placing a guard at the
door went for L. E. Cohen, the bar
clerk. Together they searched the
building, but found no one, and,
finally giving up, left the building.
Not satisfied, however, they re-
turned and again searched it. a
negro by the name of Crewel
was found hiding under some
old plunder in a narrow hall
Policeman Henry covered him
with his pistol and ordered him to
throw up his hands. This he
complied with, but when the officer
reached out to put the nippers on his
arm, the negro grabbed his (the Off
cer's) pistol and with his free hand
pulled a razor.
Henry saw the movement and, like
flash, dropped his club, grasped the
pistol with both hands, and, forcing
the dangerous end toward the thief.
pulled the trigger. The ball entered
the negro's thigh near the hip joint
and went through both legs.
In the mean tin ne the light, a hand
lamp, had gone oft. While the officer
stood over the negro with his pistol,
Mr.. Cohen struckIa match and lit the
lamp again. This was a trying mo-
ment, for the negro was known to be
desperate, having just finished his
third term in State prison, but when
the light was sd cured he was found
unable to make further resistance.
The prisoner was locked up, and
if he gets over hi ) injuries, which he
will likely do, the probabilities are,
he will get a pretty long term this
time.

self to see that these lands are as fre'
from depreciation as those of any pri
vate citizen, more particularly 81
since they are set apart for the edu
cation of the children of Florida.
'It was also enjOined upon me t.
call the attention of the sheriff o
each county to the laws prescribing
his duties as timber agent for Stat'
lands, and to notify each that tn
Governor, as President of the Stat
Board of Education, looks to eacl
of them to faithfully and fearlessl.
keep the trust imposed upon him b.
the statutes. In obedience to thl
demand, each sheriff is requested t.

joined upon him, and to apply to thi
board for any needed assistance.
