to take advantage OF the law passed
by the last Florida legislature max
ing insanity a ground for divorce.
This law is inhuman. Insanity is no
more a legitimate ground for a divorce
than consumption or any other
disease. A man, who will take that
kind of pretext to secure a legal
separation from an unfortunate
woman who is his wife, should have
the divorce for the woman's sake
and all of their property should at
once accrue to the benefit of the un-
fortunate woman and her heirs.
Such a nan is void of human fesling,
a stranger to love and the finer feel
ing of the race, a disgrace to his
kind, a humiliation to his sex. and a
curse to the woman for whom he
should at such a time especially
sacrifice his all. Shame on a state
that would enact such a law, and a
court that will uphold it will be
damned in the future if not at
present. He'll is full of better men
than the trainers of such a statute.
Ii is no surprise that a man who
would invoke such Il law for a sepa-
ration is correspondent in another
divorce case in which the more serious
and degrading charges are not
as respectable as insanity.

The democratic press of the oun
try is taking to itself a great deal of
consolation from the fact that there
seems to be a decided determination
on the part of majority of the
republicans in the next congress to
make some necessary changes in the
present tariff laws which will include
several reductions. The record of
the republican party has always been
to make as few mistakes as possible,
but when that party has made mis-
takes ii has arpiled itself Of the very
first opportunity for correction; and
and it will continue this very same
policy in regard to the tariff. The
democratic party has, on the other
hand, been a follower of the doctrine
"A lie we'll stuck to is as good as the
truth, "and it is this very 81 me creed
that prompts the press of that party
to say at this time that the republi-
can party now admits that the
exploded theoryof free trade is right
and that republicans are only wait.
ing for congress to meet to enact
free trade laws. There are sure tc
be some changes in the tariff laws

THE SEASON OF 1901.

In conversation with those gentle

order and the best wishes for the

,ided here during the years of the
nderful crops say that this season
sure to be better as the grain all
y a better start, and that all con
ions of soil and weather are an
oprovement overthose years. While
own personal knowledge is limi
il to the experience of boyhood's
US, yet we cannot help but see the
anderful promise held out when
!, ride over the country and see the
j utiful fields and the splendid
'nds Of growing grain. We have
IN in many communities and have
n promising crops, but never have
seen anything that would com
.e with the wheat, barley, flax and
crops promised by present indi
ions right here at home in Day
inty. 1t is no small wonder that
farmers are happy with the out
k and the merchants equally
DICED over the expectations OF an
precedented fall trade. Unless
signs fail the crop Of 1901 will
