The Drainage Scheme d Failure

reason that the United States govern
meut engineers have reported the
same to have been navigab.e waters
Most of the property owners along
the lake opposed the scheme because
they believed that to drain it, or low
er it. would destroy it as an orange
producing section.
The groves along this lake are all
now doing well.
Last year they bore satisfactory
crops, and have now heavy bloom.
The crops next year on the groves
Immediately upon the shores of the
lake will probably amount to 10000
boxes or more. This lake is situated
in what was known before the freeze
of '95 as the great orange belt' Of
Florida. The fruit produced was of u
very fine quality. The largest orange
groves in the world was upon the
shores of this lake, near Citra. These
magnificent groves were the entire

without reaching the limits.

Humans Great Speech.

Mr.. Chss. A. Edwards, writing from
Washington City, says that no man
has received more sincere and earnest
congratulations on ms recent speech
on the race problem in the senate of
the United States than has the Hon.
Hon. Benjamin r. Tiuman, of South

He did just what be ssid he was
going to do in that speech, viz: he
surprised his friends and disappointed
his enemies, not only by his modera-
ton, bat by the depth and ztatesnan-
like utterancez he delivered on that
occasion. 1t was a speech worthy Of
any statesman Of the present day,
and the democratic party will DO we'll
To make it one of the first and fore

WHAT is DEMOCRACY.

NJ Dupont Query, Of Georgia,
giving definition of true democracy,
among other things utters the follow
ing:
It is not sectional, or race, or caste,
partiality or prejudice.
It ia neither envy of the rich, nor
contempt of the poor.
1t il not favoritism for either the
masses or the classes.
II is not the employment Of the
government for or against any parti-
cular interest or Interests.
1t snot empire at home or abroad.
1t is not support of or opposition
to government, regardless Of whether
the same be right or wrong.
It is not varying declaration Of OPP
perfume pIatitudes, designed for party
success, and official sroiIs.
It is not the sacrifice Of the many
for the few, or the few for the many.
1t is not the greatest good of the
greatest number, but the greatest good
of each and ali.
1t is not the grant of any right to
anybody; it is the peoples guaranty
of every God-given right to every
body.

BETTING ON THE HANDICAP.
Smathers a Big Winner on Gunfire's
VICTORY

Overshadowing to a marked degree any
piece Of individual race-track speculation
for the year thus far the commission OF
Elmer E. Smathers. owner of McChesney'
on Gunf1re the winner of the Metropolitan
handicap at Morris Park yesterday, stands
out by itself. Mr.. Smathers placed $4,000
on the speedy daughter Of Hastings and
made good his reputation as a plunger.
1t was Mr.. Smathers' initial appearance
on the eastern running turf since his ad-
vent at Memphis, when he became identi-
fed with the runners through the purchase
of McChesney and Dick Bernard. While he
has made his presence felt on the trotting
circuit by the laviShness of his commissions
on anything he fancied, 1t remained for yes
terday's premier attraction to get him real
ly interested in thoroughbred game from
betting standpoint.
Mr. Smathers was asked before the race
what he liked, and he Immediately said
'rGunfre" He further went on to say that
he would like to wager something, but that
s to 5 and to did not suit him.
Upon being assured that 2 to could be
secured for whatever commission he de-
sired to place he sent his betting commits
sioner into the ring with a $4,000 order,
which was placed In sums from $500 to
s.. 900, the last-named sum being taken by
Eddie Burke.

The clubhouse division went to Gunfire
as though the race was in. Seemingly
everybody had wager on the winner. Con-
Trajectory reports were current as to
whether or not w. c. Whitney had sent in
a commission on his filly, but the consen-
sus was that he did not let her run free.
A commissioner, placing money for Milt
Gray, a lawyer, Is reputed to have put
enough money on the Whitney representa-
tive to clear upward of $4,000. There were
numerous bets made by holders of day
badges in sums of 500 and $500. Nearly
every book in the ring suffered to some ex-
tent.

NO CHANCE FOR CLEVELAND.
w. J. Bryan Says Reorganizers Will
Not Get Control.

candidacy of Grover Cleveland for the
presidential nomination, in an interview at
Lincoln, Neb., yesterday said:
while Cleveland would be rightfully en-
titled to the nomination If the reorganizers
obtain control of the party, they will not
obtain control. Cleveland has no chance
whatever of the nomination, and those
who feel any interest in his welfare will
not be foolish enough to urge his nominal
ton. he might with some reason aspire
to the republican nomination, but in his
widest dreams he can hardly imagine the
possibility Of democratic nomination.
He will receive considerate mention in
the papers that get their editorials from the
stock tickers. but the financiers are too
shrewd to make him their representative
in presidential campaign. Their plan
Is to select some one whose opinions are
known to them, but not known to the pub
lie. When they have used man as long
as they can they throw him overheard and
get a new one.

resolution leaving the candidate to be Sc
lected by J. p Morgan alone, Morgan
would not think for moment OF risking
his financial interests on such nominal
ton.

Wealth and society were well represent

stand was crowded. Four-in-hands and
automobiles beyond any number ever seen
at an American race course stood in deep
ranks.
There were two stake events on the
