THE TRUSTS HOPE IS IN VIOLENCE.

THE TRUSTS HOPE Is IN VIOLENCE.
at has been the history of strikers among
the miners in the past when the passions of
the strikers have been reused to very
high pitch that result there has been
violence following violence until finally the
trouble has broken and the men returned
to work | expect i'll this case that history
Will repeat itself"
These are the cod-booded sentences, deliberately
uttered of President Baer of the Reading Railway.
Coming from such source, they mean even more
than the diabolsm that appears on the surface.
What Baer and the Others of his ilk profoundly
hope that the evaporation of the starving miners
will by dnt of the batting to which they are sub
iected at last reach pitch where it will explode
into violence.
Here is confession of deliberately hopeful cal
culaton that blood and carnage will solve the strike
problem Hence the cool tactics of waiting In the be-
lief that the wished for violence must surely come.
Indications are that it is not for distant.
The warfare that would result is one in which the
trusts themselves would take no direct part The
conflict they had created they would complacently
view from a safe distace.
On the one side in that bloody conflict would be
the public, represented by labor striving to the
death for its rights. On the other side would be
the public represented by the militia that stands
for law and order
Every bullet fred would be aimed at the heart OF
American manhood. Whatever the outcome, in.
dependence, Justice, human rights would suffer.
The grip of the trusts that seek either to crush
labor through law else to dethrone law through
disorder would be made all the more secure
And it is for this death-dealing, society-shatter
ing, soul-deadening warfare that the trust magnate
Icompacently wait. Meanwhile the public pays thu
cost of the waiting.
The public pays for the support of the militia il
the coal fields.
The public pays for the support of the idle miner
and their families
The public pays, in the increasing price of coal
even the losses of the operators.
The trust magnates we'll afford to wait for tn
conflict when waiting costs them nothing The,
can we'll afford to welcome that conflict when that
too, can cost them nothing.
There have no chance to lose, and no thought bu
to win.
Vulture-like, they hang aloof, waiting for tn
conflict that will provide them carrion.

SAME MAN BoRRows HIS PAPEl

SAME MAN BoRRows HIS PAPER.
1t is a singular fact that you will
occasionally run across a man who
has forgotten that the world is pro-
crossing, and who does not believe
that it pays to advertise. You let
the Metropolis put in three-line
item that is not complimentary to
him in a personal way and he imme-
diately becomes exasperated, because
he feels that we have affected his
reputation, and in some instances he
wants to sue for damages, placing the
amounts at various sums, because he
recognizes in the newspaper power
to build or blast his future But you
approach this same fellow on the
subject,of advertising, and somehow
or other bis reasoning is all out, his
mind seems to have gone fishing; he
does not seem to understand that the
logic of the situation is this: If a
newspaper has power to build up or
affect the reputation of man, it also
has power to build up his business,
and this has been proven in tens of
thousands of cases by business peo-
pie all over the county, and all over
the world.-Jacksonville Metropolis.

HE STOOD WELL AT HOME.

In the death of Major Huffman,
of Gainesville, the state loses one of
the ablest and soundest editorial
writers that have ever merged their
individuality in that of Florida
newspaper. Few people outside OF
the town in which he lived, labored
and died, had ever heard of Mr..
Huffman; and yet it was to him and
his pen that the Gainesville Sun for
years largely owed its reputation as
a sound and conservative newspaper,
fit for intelligent people to read and
profit by.-Daily Capital.

SOUNDS LIKE A REPUBLICAN SUG-
GESTION.
1t is claimed that poor man, I'M
der the present ruling, cannot enter
n primary because of the expense.
Unfortunately this is true. 1t is a
defect in the present system which
it is hoped will be remedied in the
next state legislature. Various sug-
gestions have been offered to accom-
plish this desirable result, but the
most direct, equitable and practical
solution of this problem as ii
now appears, is for the state to beal
the expense and call primary cleo,
ton on the same date for both politi'
cal parties.-Green Cove Spring.

WILL hear FROM OLD PRODUCERS

There seems to be general agree
ment that the orange crop in Florida
will be much less this year than last,
owing to the drouth and other caus~
es in fact, the general opinion seems
to be that last years crop of 100000
boxes will dwindle TO 100000 boxes
this season. The calculation is based
on the undoubted falling off in the
southern counties, where the bulk of
the oranges have been grown since
the freeze. While there undOubted-
ly will be falling off, it is true that
in many of the old orange growing
counties, such as Orange, Volusia,
Lake, Marion, Putnam and st. Johns,
there will be large increase this
year in the amount of fruit produced,
which will tend to even up the losses
in Manatee, DeSoto, Lee and Hills
borough counties.-St. Augustine

NEGRO WHITE
 GIVEN PARDON Gov. JelkS Closes the El-
 more Incident. ROBIN WHITES BROTHER Pleaded Guilty Because of
 Public Sentiment. Judge Denson Recommended Cle- mency for Negro at the Time He Interce6ed for the Elmore
 County Lynchers.

Governor Jelks yesterday practically closed the Fillmore County incident by granting an unconditional pardon to Abe White. brother of Robin White, the negro who was lynched by George How ard, Martin Fuller, John Strength, John Thomas and others near Tallassee on the night of July l, 1901 Abe White has been serving a two-year sentence in the penitentiary, having been convicted of assault with intent to murder John Thomas.
 The lynching of Robin White was the result of an allged assault made upon John Thomas and his family by Robin White and Abe White. Thomas. who lived near the negroes, claimed that they had killed his chickens and had come to said they shot at his house several times.
 Robin White was arrested and tried by a Justice of the Peace who bound him over to the grand jury. Constables start cd with their prisoner to the Wetumpka jail but Robin White was taken from them and lynched. according to a con- fession made on the witness stand at his own trial by George Howard.
 Abe White escaped, but was subse- qucntly captured and indicted for assault with intent to murder. At the fail term of the Circuit Court of Elmore County he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. He has been leased to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company and has been at work in the Pratt Mines.
 In his p,tition for executive clenrency Abe White says he did not shoot at the house of John Thomas. He had a gun loaded with bird shot, he says. whi ,h he intended to shoot at Thomass chickens He recites the story of the lynching of lis brother and says he pleaded guilty because public sentiment in Elmore Coun- ty was so ineamed against him on ac- count of the conviction of the men who lynched his brother that he feared he would not be given an impartial trial. says he was assaulted by John Thomas who was his fellow prisoner and was bad iy mistreatcd.
 In issuing the pardon Governor Jelks said:
 This man. Abe White. was sentenced to the pententiary on a charge of assault to murder Out of the difficulty from which grew this charge grew also the lynching of Robin White, brother of Abe White. Several of the lynchers have been pardoned. The Juge' trying the case recommends that he be pardoned. It is therefore ordered that full pardon be issued
 It will be remembered that Judge N. D. Denson in recommending to Governor Jelks the pardon of the lynchers. How ard. Strength and Fuller, also took occa- sion to say that he hoped the Governor would exercise executive clcmency in the case of Abe White.
