A MERITED REBUKE.

Among the beautiful bnquets
which the president showered upon
all about him who profess the faith
Of which he is the exponent there
was one which contained rebuke
to the United States senate, which
is none tue less singing, that it
was hidden with roses He said:
"Our diversified productions,
however, are increasing in such
unprecedented volume AZ to adj
monish us of the necessity of still
further cnlarging our foreign mar
kets by broader comnlercral rela-
tious. For this purpose lecipru-
cal trade arrangements with other
nations should in liDers,i spirit
be carefully cultivated and pro-
noted "
" hen this is read in the light
OF the fact that Mckinley ISL f''l
lower of James G.. Blaine on b
theory of reciprocity as applied 1t,
a protective tariff ana that the ad-
ministration was interchangeable in
its efforts to negotiate reciprocal
treaties with commercial nations
to counte,act the effect of the Ding
ley tariff schedule, and when we
remember that Notwithstanding
the fact that the president sent
two messages to the senate urging
it to ratify these reciprocal treaties,
which it refused to do, thus bring,
ing on a tariff war, the full mean
ing of the rebuke will be under
stood.
We're Mckinley made of the
material Of Il Jackson or even of a
Cleveland, the senate would be
rebuked in entirely different terms.
The public will be glad to know
that Mckinley with all us
smoothness has resented this revo-
lutionary action of the senate,
even if the rebuke is clad in the
silken garb of diplomacy.

"LEsr WE FORGET"

President Mckinley reviewed
the inaugural parade from q
magnificent Court of Honor which
stretched it's stately length along
Pennsylvania avenue in Washing
ton for distance of several
blocks, covering the front of the
United States Treasury, the White
House, the State, War and Navy
buildings.
1t was an imposing spectacle,
this great stage picture of the
President reviewing the impressive
pageant organized in his honor.
The written description of the
march past the Chief Executive
of the nation reads like the
accounts of the surprisingly splen-
did pomp that marked the ce|ebra-
ton of the late Queen and
Empress Victories diamond
jubilee in royal England. The
total cost of Mr.. McKinley's
second Inauguration as President
of the United States is estimated
at s4,23O,OO0.
There were colonial troops in
the American pageant as in the
English, IMPLYING the world
power of America as of Great
Britain, indicating the "far-fung
battle line" of a Republic that hae
gone into the Empire business
the subjugation and forcible
government of the weaker peoples.
For the first time in American
history colonial dependencies were
represented in the most character
istic ceremony Of the American
national life. The colonial troops
in the presidents inaugural parade
hailed from the helpless little
island which is being governed in
the interest of the sugar trust.
Yes, it was imposing. The
great Republic Of Rome delighted
in such spectacles IN the days
when it had ceased to be a re
public, save in name. 1t, also,
spent millions for spectacular
effect, and included its conquered
peoples in the columns passing IN
review. The American spectacle
Of last week would not have been
possible in the earlier and simpler
days of our republic. Neither is
it possible under a faithful
maintenance of the principles that
prevailed in those earlier and sim.
pier days.

an and her pupils added attractiveness to
the room, and the beautiful cut flowers,
donated by loving friends for the occa-
sion, rendered it redolent with perfume.
Numerous flags and representations of
the old home at Mt. Vernon were also
displayed. While everything was ar
ranged so as TO make the room pretty
and attractive, nothing was done without
the idea of conveying lesson, and the
lessons thus impaired to the minds of the

be lost. Too much cannot be said of

acters and minds Of the little ones in

WEST PALM BEACH, Feb. &c. p.
Pfoff was crushed 70 death by the closing
of the Lake Worth drawbridge at this
place yesterday at p. IN.
Mr.. PfOff was one of great many
passengers crossing the lake on the ferry
boat, which had tied up temporarily at
the drawbridge on account of gale sud-
denly arising. The bridge was open, and
on account of the threatening weather
several of the passengers climbed upon
the draw, intending TO reach the bridge
house only a few feet away. Among
them was Mr.. Pfoff, who was the last
one.
The men at the bridge, all unconscious
of this, were trying to close it, when
suddenly the gale, which had increased,
seized the bridge, carrying it out of the
control of the men operating it, threw
it into position with the unfortunate man
clinging TO it, seeing certain death,
though powerless to save himself. He
was killed instantly.
The remains were placed in charge of
Undertaken Gus. Ii. Maltby, and will be
forwarded TO the home of the deceased,

Mr.. PfOff was guest of the Seminole
hotel, in this city. He was prominently
identified with the business interests of
Columbus, and leaves a large circle Of
business associates and friends, among
whom is our townsman, DR.. F. II

Another casualty caused by the gale
was the overturning of the naphtha
launch Prudence, one Of the Hotel Royal

lake. Aboard the launch were gentle
man, his wife and daughter, guests of
The Breakers.

reached land safely, but the wife was
drowned and the body recovered this
morning. l am unable to learn the

Express Rates Reduced.

The Southern Express company, in re-
sponse TO the complaints of many grow
ers, has made a substantial reduction in
rates to southern points on the following
vegetables: Potatoes, squash, celery, tur-
nips, beets, cabbage, beans, lettuce. okra,
peas and peppers. For instance, on sim
gle crates the reduction to Birmingham
is from 70 cents to 66 cents; to Atlanta,
II to SO; Asheville, "a to 66; Chattanoo-
ga, 70 to SO, and 80 on to other southern
points in proportion. In barrels, the
rate on any of these vegetables is double
the crate rate.
For some reason tomatoes and egg
plants were not included in the reduc-
ton, and yet tomatoes are perhaps the
most important crop of all.
Prior to this reduction there were three
classes for vegetables: B, C and ID; and
the cheaper vegetables were carried at
cheaper rates. Under the old rate the
rate on beans to Birmingham was A
cents, to Atlanta 80 cents. Under the
new rate the rate to Birmingham is rs
cents, and TO Atlanta IL cents, over
double.
The reason given by the express com
pany is that under the old rate it was
hauling produce cheaper than the rail-
road companies were hauling it.
The grower will now probably work to
get tomatoes and eggplants included in
the reduction.
The following is a comparison of old
and new rates on vegetables from points
in this section of the state to Chicago and
western points:

The Cold Wave This Week.

The cold wave predicted by the wea-
ther bureau for Saturday night material
lied all right, although many prophesied,
and hoped too, that Chief Moore had
made a mistake. Thin ice formed in ex-
posed places here both Sunday and Mon
day mornings, after sunrise, but melted
within few minutes, as the suns rays
warmed the air above the freezing point.
Vegetables are damaged to considerable
extent, and in some instances the tender
shoots and new buds on orange trees
were nipped by the frost of Monday. We
can stand as cold a wave as this, but
don't want it to come any colder this late
in the season, for the damage would be
immense.

Miss Grisard Hurt By a Fall.

Miss Grisard, of this place, who has
charge of the public school at Indianola,
sustained a severe fall from a stairway
Wednesday night at the residence of Mr..
Fields, where she was boarding. She
started upstairs with lamp in one hand
and a pitcher of water in the other.
About half way up the steps she tripped
herself by stepping on her dress, and as
there was only handrail with no balus-
tiers she fell sideways off the stairs to the
floor below, passing directly under the
railing. She struck on the back of her
head, sustaining a severe concussion, re-
sulting in fever but no serious injury.

went to her on receipt of the news and
brought her home yesterday. He says
she will probably be able to resume her
duties next week.
