THE CRESCENT Cry News.

Chesser was honest and earnest, and
the audience seemed to enjoy his
talk.
DR.. Frank McRae spoke for only a
few moments, simply recounting his
work in the last legislature, and
promising to do what he thought to
be right if returned. The doctor was
not feeling well, and in consequence
spoke to great disadvantage. He
said that he was convinced that the
people would not stand for dispen-
sary law, although it might be a
good thing to try in certain counties
Mr.. j. H. Wylie of Interlachen in
few remarks stated his position to
be one of opposition to the. dispen-
sarv, and that he was not in favor of
the mo fence law" and never had
been. He thought better schools and
better roads might properly engage
the thoughts of the people, and he was
in favor of those things. If elected
he would work for the best interest
of the county.
DR.. &. F. Sprague did not attempt
to speak, but he did take occasion to
say emphatically, that he was OPP
posed to the dispensary, to inaugu-
rate which the state would have to
appropriate several hundred thous-
and dollars to purchase u whisky
stock. He was in favor of common
sense legislation. and equalization of
taxes. The doctor then introduced
his young friend, Mr.. Redmond Gau-
tier, student in Stetson University,
and a Putnam county raised boy who
was fitting himself by study to take
hand in future political matters.
Mr.. Gautier made really able and
instructive arguments against the
proposed dispensary law-arguments
which We're born of investigation.
He spoke also of better schools, and
sounded some of the KEY notes with
whichthe coming generation of Flor
ida politicians will approach state
problems. Mr.. Gautier's speech was
listened to with much interest, es-
pecially by all of his audience with
whom he had grown up. His style
is earnest, and at times there were
bursts of eloquence. All who heard
him believed they saw the making
of future politician with a strong
tendency to craftsmanship, always
more or less associated with those
who seek through study and self
improvement to lift high the stand
ard of qualification for public place.
His speech was warmly applauded,
and very many congratulated the
speaker upon the success of his first
effort.
The meeting broke up little after
four O'Clock, after which the visitors
went to the boat for the return trip,
only to find that owing to a leak
somewhere it would be impossible to
get up steam. This accident neces-
STATED sending message to Palat-
ka for another steamer and it was
eleven O'Clock at night before it came
and towed the disabled boat load of
politicians home. All took the ac-
cident good naturally, and after sup
per at the hotel spent the time in
private interviews with town people.
1t was three O'Clock Friday morning
when the party reached Palatka,
slightly ruffied but still in the ring.

CRESCENT CITY TEMPERATURE FOR THE

LIAMS, OBSERVER. *,
Baked Politics.

The first of the series of scheduled
political meetings of the present
campaign was pulled off in Chamber
lain's Hall here last Thursday. 1t
was one of the hottest days of the
season; so hot that the boiled shirt
lost its temper and the sack coat quit
the back of the political wiseacre to
seek the shadows. The people did
not flock to the meeting in punches.
They hardly came at all. They did
net seem to feel the need of the po-
litical warming up process. A palm
leaf fan and watermelon had great
er attractions, and generally they
stayed at home. When the meeting
opened there was scarcely 30 in the
hall. Later quite Il few more came
in, including a dozen or more ladies'.
Mr.. Chamberlin the proprietor of
the hall distributed fans and did all
in his power to relieve suffering.
Most of the candidates for legisla-
tive and county offices arrived from
Palatka on the steamer LaReve, at
noon. The meeting was called
to order little after l o'clock,
Hon. ]. H. Harp, occupying the
chair. He asked the audience to lift
their thoughts above the weather and
to cultivate only charitable feelings
for any speaker who attempted to
forge additional heat. who talked too
long, or who sought to impress them
with the idea that "there's place
that is hotter than this"
Mr.. Mel NJ. Alfred, of Ocala, can
didate for states attorney was the
first speaker. He simply outlined
the requirements of the office for
which he was a candidate, told of his
experience with, and fitness for the
work. and promised If nominated, to
give the duties of the office his per-
sonal and faithful attention. He
made a good impression, and good
speech-shert and to the point.
John P. Wall was then called for.
Mr.. Wall apologized for the extreme
heat. He was a pretty warm propo-
sition himself, but the weather sort
% flabbergasted him. He had come
to Crescent City expecting ''frost, I"
but the warmth of his reception had
melted his heart and caused the
whiting process to set in on his collar.
If he ever entered another summer
campaign he was going to clothe his
neck in celuloid, even though in so
doing he defied Jim Chesser. Mr..
Wall then reviewed his services in
the legislature, and. said that while
he had been there Putnam county
had been well represented. He had
introduced the dispensary bill, and
had done it honestly, believing it to
be for the best interests of his cOun-
ty. But as he honestly believed it to
be better than prohibition, or high or
low license, he was going to stand by
it even if he had TO stand alone.
The Hon. James NJ. Chesser of
Hollister was the next speaker. Mr..
Chesser has several of the qualifica-
tions of an orator. His words chased
one another like buckshot from a
gun and reverberated through the
hall till it seemed as if the plaster
would crack. He stood as the friend
of the Florida crackerand the razor
back hog, and the foe of the dispen-
sary, and on these two propositions
he hoped to begin career at Talla-
hassee which would rebound to the
glory of the county and state. Mr..

1t is rather remarkable that Grover
dent Of the United States, and also
that he is living so retired from both
social and political life that his name
is seldom ever mentioned in print.
Mr.. Cleveland is one of the most re-
markable men Of this country. He
rapidly rose from insignifcance to
national greatness and when he had
enjoyed all the public honor that
an American citizen could ex-
pect he meekly and modestly re
tired from public life and is en-
jOying the fame and fortune that
he acquired while he was in the po-
litical swim. 1t was not to exceed
ten years from the time that Mr..
Cleveland first entered public life
when he was elected sheriff Of one of
the counties of New York before he
was occupying the presidential chair
which was the most rapid rise that
has ever been recorded in the history
of the United States on the part of
any man. A combination Of circum-
stances seem to have made him sher-
if, Governor Of the state of New York
and President of the United States,
| and, Democrat though he was, he was
an ideal American citizen as well as
official, and is until this day the same
ideal American that he was while
President of the United States. Liv-
ing in political and social retirement
! as he does in Princeton, New Jersey,
| the great college city, he is enjoying
| his retirement while surrounded by a
happy family made up Of a most
estimable wife and three charming
| children. Cleveland's fame as an
American citizen, without any
blandishing encomiums of being a
statesman, will shine brighter
when it will have been read on
the pages Of history fifty years
from today than now. That he fav-
ored the Democrats party in appoint
ing men to office goes without saying.
| but that he favored Americans first.
last and all the time is likewise true.
Here is a letter which Grover CIeve-
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-02-21

land wrote in 1882 to his brother on
the very day of the election which
made him Governor of the state Of
New York:
Il have just voted, and l sit here
in the office alone If mother were
alive l should be writing to her, and
| feel as if it were a time for me to
write to some one who will believe
what | write. | have for some time
been in the atmosphere of certain
success, so that | have been sure that
| should assume the duties of the high
office for which | have been named.
| have tried hard in the light Of this
fact, to properly appreciate the re-
spOnsibilities that will rest upon me,

troubled me is: Can l perform my
duties, and in such manner as to do
some good to the people of the state?
| know there is room for it, and
know that | am sincere and honest in
my desire to do we'll; but the question
is whether | know enough to ac-
cOmplish what | desire. In point of
fact l will tell you first Of all others
the policy l intend to adopt, and that
is to make the matter a business en-
gagement between the people and my
self, in which the obligation on my
side is to perform the duties assigned
me with an eye single to the interest
Of my employers. l shall have no
idea Of reelection or Of any high pO-
litical preferment in my head, but be
very thankful and happy if I serve
one term as the peoples governor.
Do you know that if mother were

temptations incident to a combination
Of sea life and royalty have been
thrown in his way, he has laughed
them off. No breath of scandal has
ever tainted his name
He was a dutiful son, the favorite
of his father, who left him the bulk
Of his private fortune.
He is a devoted father, making it
an object Of his life to tighten the
burden of his eldest son, Waldemar
who is deaf and dumb.
He drinks beer, wine and spirits,
but never to excess.
He smokes cigars and pipes, but
not cigarettes.
He plays cards for money, but never
so heavily as to involve his opponents
beyond their immediate means.
He is not eXtravagant. Not even in
his youth, when his allowance was
comparatively small, did he run into
debt

Congress does not seem inclined for
some reason to want to make the
appropriation for the completion Of the
Lake Washington canal. 1t is either
being unduly influenced by some one
averse to the building Of the canal,
who perhaps halls from Tacoma, or
it is penny wise and pound foolish
in it's prOgnOSticatiOn. While Seattle
is taking the lead in pushing this
canal matter, it nevertheless, when
completed, will be a thousand times
self than to Seattle. To be sure it
will bring much business and trade
to the city Of Seattle, but what OBJ
jectiOns has Congress to that if, on
the other hand, the United States
government gets value received for
it's outlay for building this water way.
There is no denying the fact that
Puget Sound is the great naval rest
ing place of the Pacific Ocean, and
fight it, it nevertheless remains the
natural fertilization and barrier for
naval vessels and likewise commercial
fleets. If then this fresh water harbOr
can be added to this natural ocean
harbOr, why is it not a business prOpO-
sitiOn for the United States govern
ment to appropriate money for the
building Of the canal without further
equivocations? Perhaps the repre-
sentatives Of Tacoma do not favor
this proposition, but there is no reason
why the entire membership Of Con
gress should listen to their prattlings
simply because they represent rival
town, which town is commercially as
well as numerically jealous of the
business pluck and push Of Seattle.
If Tacoma had something to offer
equally as good or better than this
there would be some method in her
madness to defeat Seattle in the build
ing of the Lake Washington canal,
but she has nothing neither as good
nor has she anything at all in the
way Of fresh water harbor to offer
to the government in lieu of Lake
Washington and yet she is fighting
the proposition with as much force as
if it would be Of any detriment to
her. What fools we mortals be.

Of by the United States and enlarged
at a cost Of $2,15O,O0O. The cost Of
the canal was about $4,000, 600,
largely due to the fact that % locks
are required in surrounding the rise
OF 327 feet in the distance of q miles.
The length of the Suez canal is
about 80 miles, the cost $1,000 900,
the present depth 81 feet, width at
bottom 108 feet, and at the surface
42O feet. The number of vessels
passing through it has grown from
1856 in 1870 to 3,441 in 1901.
The Cronstadt and st. Petersburg
canal, which gives a passageway for
great vessels to ST. Petersburg, is IS
miles long, including the deepening
Of the bay channel, 2O1a feet in depth,
and the total cost estimated at S1O.-
100000.
The COrnith canal, which connects
the Gulf of COrnith with the Gulf of
Aegina, is 4 miles in length, 26H feet
in depth, Y feet wide at the bottom.
and cost about 100000.
The Manchester ship canal. which
connects Manchester, England, with
the Mersey river and Liverpool, was
opened in 1894. It's length is 351b

The Kaiser Wilhelm canal which
connects the Baltic and North sea
through Germany, is 81 miles in
length, 2913 feet in depth, Y feet wide
at the bottom, 100 feet at the surface.
and cost about $4O,OOO,OOO. An adj

Speaking about government canals
and waterways, the following sta
tistics concerning the waterways of
the world owned and operated by
governments, will be Of much interest
to the reading public:
In America the canals connecting
the Great Lakes are the principal
ship canals, and are three in number:
the Welland canal, originally con
structed in 1888 and enlarged in 1871
and 1900; the Salt Ste. Marie, or st.
Mary's river canal, opened in 1855 and
enlarged in 1897; and the Canadian
canal at St. Mary's river, opened in
1895. The American canal was origi-
nally constructed by the state of Mich
igan, but subsequently taken charge

With the view of bringing about
a cessation of hOstilities between the
English and the Beers DR.. Abram
Kuyper, the premier of Holland, has
and peace maker between the beIIig-
erent countries. That Great Britain
will not accept this friendly offer on
the part Of Holland goes without say
ing, and that Great Britain will fin
ally crush out the Beers is plain to be
seen. The Boer Republic is thing
of the past and despite the chickering's
of a few BOer sympathizers in both
Europe and the United States the
war will be pushed on until DeWet
and his entire army will have been
wiped out of existence and South
Africa become fulfedged British col
Ony. At present it is said that there
are 100000 British soldiers in South
Africa either doing garrison work or
hunting down the 5000 guerillas under
the leadership Of DeWet. The most
of the Transvail and Orange river
countries have been subdued by the
British and they have resumed their
normal conditions. The war expenses
on the part Of the British has been
reduced from $1,OOO,OOO per day to S.
100000 per week, and it is estimated it
will be even reduced to half Of the lat
ter amount within a short period, as
the Beers are daily losing ground and
will be reduced to a very small num-
Der before another thirty days will
have passed.

HIS TEMPERAMENT.

He is the only one of the Hohen-
zollerns who has a sense Of humor.
In spite of his love for music, he
is not Of a melancholy disposition.
nor is he subject to moods.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-02-21
HIS MENTALITY.

He has a good education in the
liberal arts; and an experts education
in everything nautical, from ancient
battles to hOly-stoning decks.
Following the custom Of his house
he learned a trade when a youth. He
could earn his living anywhere as a
Matchmaker
He speaks English purely and flu
emily.
He speaks French without an &C
cent.
He can converse in Spanish, Italian,
Russian and Swedish. He can also
read these languages readily.
He has had a thorough education
in everything musical, and for an
amateur is a remarkable musician.
Like his father, Frederick Ill, he
is a Liberal in politics. He has thus
frequently incurred reproof from his
reactiOnary brother, the Emperor, but
has gained in consequence the devo-
ton Of the people of Germany.
His mind is not of the devious subtle
order, but direct and straightforward.
He makes a better admiral than he
would diplomat or cOurtier.
His mind is accurate and strong,
but not snowy nor brilliant Mentally,
his brother is a greater man.
HIS MORALS
Unlike the great majority of royal
ties, he made a love match. Bismark
opposed the princess whom he Sc
lected, but he said he would remain
a bachelor forever if he were denied.
He had his way.
He has been a loving and faithful
husband. Though the multitudinous

HIS PHYSIQUE.

He is six feet and half an inch tall.
He weighs about 1872 pounds.
He is always in the pink Of physical
condition and has not an ounce of fat
upon his frame
He wears light brown beard and
mustache. The mustache he allows to
grow naturally, and he will not have
BARRIERS playing with it as they do with
his imperial brothers.
His beard is trimmed to a point.
His eyes are blue and clear. He
does not even wear glasses.
He is tireless physically.
He is extraordinarily full blooded
for he can stand for hours in a suit of
wet clothes in bitter wind and ex-
perience no i'll result
Even in the ballroom Of the imperial
palace at Berlin he walks with the
rolling swagger of a sailor. Directions
from the Emperor on this point have
no effect upon him.
His face is deeply tanned from long
years at sea.
His hands are coarse and red, and
his nails are kept short for the same
reason.
His conversational tone is clear and
hearty.
When singing he has a mellow bass
voice.

PASSING
EVENTS.

Congress was given a shaking up
one day last week in manner which
seemed to meet public approval in
general and especially among the
middle classes. During a debate in
the Lower House Congressman Wheel
er of Kentucky scored the American
people for trying to play the funky
act with Prince Henry, who is now
on the high seas headed for New
York, and who will reach that city,
unless some mishap Overtakes him,
Saturday. Mr. Wheeler observed that
thousands Of dollars were being ap-
prOpriated by the American people for
the entertainment Of this Dutch prince
and he thought it a radical departure
from the good old democratic principle
of George and Martha Washington
the cornerstone of personal liberty on
which this government was founded.
TOdying to European rulers was not
in keeping with his ideas Of American
ism and he was not slow in making
the fact known. His ideas may have
been bluntly put, but the American
people are with him and the rank
and file of this country believe that
too much attention is being paid to
the visit Of Prince Henry and too much
pomp and display are being prepared
for his entertainment while here 1t
smacks too much of royalty and even
Prince Henry himself will be disap-
pointed after leaving for home, as he
expected to find a conservative demo
cratic people in this country who lost
no time in hero wOrshiping.
Speaking about Prince Henry, who
will arrive in the United States Sat
urday, the following as to his makeup
will be Of interest to the general pub
lie:
He is Of the Prussian royal family
Of HOhenzollern.
He is the only brother of the reign
ing German Emperor; son of a Ger
man Emperor; grandson Of a German
Emperor; greatgrandson of a long
line Of Prussian Kings.
He is nephew of the King Of Eng
land and grandson of Queen Victoria.
He is brOther-in-Iaw and also own
cousin Of the Czarina of Russia.
He is intimately connected by blood
or marriage with the ruling houses of
all the smaller German principalities
and kingdoms.
At the time of his birth, his grand
father, William L, was King of Prus-
STA, the empire not having been
formed
In 1871 his grandfather became
first Emperor of the modern German
Empire.
In 1888, his father, Frederick III,
died and was succeeded by his son,
Henry's brother, William H., the pres
ent Emperor.
William II. has several children,
who are now in line for succession to
the throne. Prince Henry's chances
of ever becoming Emperor are, there
fore, extremely remote.
