FOR R. R. COMMISSIONERS.

Hon. John G. Ward, Of Pensacola,
has been prominently mentioned by
the press for some months past as a
candidate for the position Of Railroad
Commissioner, to succeed Hon. ]. L.
Bryan, who it is unof1cially stated will
not make the race again. Mr.. Ward
was in Tallahassee a few days ago and
in conversation with the editor of The
Tallahasseean confirmed the report
that he would run.
It is no reflection upon any one else
who has aspirations in that direction
to say that, barring the present en-
cumbents, Mr.. Ward is perhaps better
equipped for entering upon the duties
of the Office than any other man in the
State.

istence, Mr.. Ward was secretary to
Forfda's first Railroad Commission. In
this capacity he had every facility for
acquiring knowledge Of the business.
and it is no stretcn Of imagination to
say that the position of Railroad Com
missioner depends largely for efficiency
upon experience.
Hon. H. E. Day, the present very
efficient and popular chairman of the
Commission, will run for reelection.
and there seems to be no opposition to
him. ne could not be improved upon
as a faithful, hardworking, conscien-
tious officer.

THE STATE FAIR.

The Florida State Fair Association
has decided On holding a fair this year.
This is. the wisest determination tbev
could have arrived at Now let the
county commissioners of every equity
in the State make appropriations Tor
exhibits. No better plan can be ie-
vised for advertising the resources d a
State or community. The products of
the soil are so grouped as to give vsi-
tors opportunities they would not
otherwise possess of investigating the
possibilities of farms and fields. hey
develop agriculture and stock raising,
and assist very materially in bringing
IN desirable class of settlers.
The State Fair Association ha, set
tied on having fair, but the location
has not been selected. 1t is open to any
city in Florida having the enterprise
to bid high enough. ValdOsta pays $12,-
600 for the Georgia State Fair. Talla-
hassee could not play better advertis-
ing card than by securing the Florida
State Fair. 1t would cost money and
labor, but both would be we'll spent
1t would bring thousands of visitors to
the Capital City, and result in thou
sands of dollars being spent here II
! is to be hoped that the county commits
siOnerS, the city council and the busi.
ness men will get together and make
bid for the fair. The following arr
the requirements:
First-A well constructed race track
half mile in length. A suitable granC
stand to accommodate 1000 people
Stables, pens and stalls to accommo
date 100 head of stock of various kinds
Second Suitable bull 1ings or tents
the main tent or building to be not les!
than SOOx15O; two or three small tents
or buildings, to be not less than 15Ox75
Third-GrOundS to contain from
twenty to fifty acres, with ample watel
supply and properly lighted, with {
certain amount of ornamentation
must be properly fenced.
Fourth-Besides the above, not les.
than $4,000, must be subscribed in cash
The town or city competing mus
make the cash available not later thar
July 1st. 4
Fifth-The proposition must be sub
mitted to the association at its annVa
meeting in May. =
Sixth-That the town or city wher,
the fair for 1902 is located must guar
antee that during the dates of the fai
there shall not be held within tn,
limits Of municipal control, any stree
show, carnival, circus or other simila
attraction, except the same shall be un
der the control of the fair management
Tallahassee mas the fair grounds al
ready. They contain the track an
necessary buildings, and all could b.
put in shape at little expense. Twelv
thousand dollars would probably be re
quired to repair the grounds and build
ings and secure the fair. 1t is prob
able that the receipts would be $1,000
or more, but the amount spent witt
hotels, boarding houses and grocerie
would make the investment a payini
one. &

Valdosta, Ca, is plucky little city,
and when she goes after anything does
not stop until the goal is reached. In
1900 the Georgia State Fair was held
in that enterprising town. 1t was a
good one, too. Last year the fair was
given to Savannah. This year, how
ever, Valdosta was bound to captureait
at any cost, so when Savannah Offered
$4,000, she raised the bid to $12,O0D
and 10 per cent. of the profits. This
pole knocked the persimmon. We con.
gratulate ValdOsta on her push, and
wish her success in the undertaking.

Agent OF the Hong Kong bank favors the
Hull Weight American Dollar.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia. Nj. Townsend,
agent Of tho Hong Kong and shanghai
Bank, and just appointed joint mag
OF its London branch, appeared before
the senate Philippines Committee to-day
and advocated the use of a full-weight
silver dollar in the Philippines to circulate
at its bullion value, and opposed the propo-
sition recommended by the Philippine COM
mission OF a dual standard for the islands.
He did not appear, he said, on behalf OF
the bank. but being familiar with the none
tary conditions in the Fast. concluded TO
give the committee the benefit OF his ex-
perience.
Great Britain's experiment in placing
India on a gold basis, he said, had proved
co~nclusiyely that that standard was APP
plicable only TO rich countries. Gold cur
rency was entirely unsuitable for the Phlllp-
pines, because Il would increase thc cost
OF everything. would tend TO restrict rather
Than develop the export trade OF the islands,
and would I've IA tax and burden To the United
States to maintain it. II would not remedy
the question of exchange between the archl-
pelago and the United States. because
there was Quotation in the rate between

would only breed discomfort. They would,
however. accept the silver dollar, which
would also circulate anywhere in the East
on a par with the Mexican and British
dollar. That currency could DE used Tor
export also to pay outside debts, and would
return TO the Philippines when the balance
Of trade favored the islands.
He would make the dollar a fuil-"elRht
American dollar. with practical free coin
age, marked with both American and
Filipino emblems. Its circulation in the
East. in his opinion, could only be distinct
gain and advantage 10 the Philippine cur
rency and to American interests and pres
tige generally. As To the settlement oi
contracts with tine American Government
or salaries of the officials and soldiers,
MIR. Townsend said that the rate OF eA-
change could be satisfactorily fixed every
three months. When the Philippines be
came rich the currency could be- changed
10 gold, but he regarded that as the crown
ing feature and not the foundation OF tho
American possession.
