EDITOR JORDAN'S DIAGNOSIS.
Stockton too Rash-TaIisferro Fairly
Entitled to a Second Term.
JENNINGS TIME NOT YET RIPE.

Those who heard the speeches made
in Punta Gorda, Tuesday, by the
three aapirants for the United States
senatorship had fair opportunity Of
| arriving at some conclusion touching
their merits and their suitability with
| reference to the best interests of
Florida.
Governor Jennings address, free
from personalities and vituperatiOn,
calm, dignified and logical, showed
! him man with that brOadness Of
character and depth of thought
which are requisite TO the lofty posi-
ton sought by him. Back of this is
his brilliant record az governor of the
state.
The same may be said Of Senator
TaliaferrO; whose record as loyal
democrat in the state and as valu-
able public servant in Washington is
| an honor both to himself and to
Florida. His passionate address,
delivered without flourish aud in
| that busiuess-like manner character
istic of the man, impressed all
I thoughtful hearers with correct
idea Of his fitness for the position he
| holds.
Mr.. Stockton showed himself quite
the opposite of the other two gentle
men. He is mercurial to degree,
impulsive, combative, rash. He is
evidently one Of those men whose
natures cause them to employ force
rather than persuasion In the accom-
plishment of their purposes. If things
do not please him, he is apt to lose
his temper and to do or say some.
thing that ought not be said or done.
His temper, if not hi- past record and
his present platform, would seriously
handicap him in rendering efficient
service to the state in the strenuous
life of a senator. It j. the candid
opinion OF thinking men, that if Mr..
Stockton should be sent to the senate.
it would not DE long before the bar-
mOny existing in the Florida con-
gressional delegation would be de-
stroyed. In view of the fact that, as
Senator Taliaferro saidin his speech.

ton.
To give an idea of how things
would likely be, if Mr.. Stockton were
sent to the senate. it may be stated
that, during Mr. Cleveland,s last
administration. about the only man

where the lands are laid out in mar
row strips leading back often miles
from the main road so on all public
roads the houses are close together
and there roads are as near perfect as
it is possible for country roads to be
and have many advantages. At one
point following the Annapolis river

lights and gas in every house. Occa-

The country life IN this section was
an ideal one The occupation ofthese
people is raising small grain, potatoes

Some attention was paid to the dairy

surely do for our country of perpetual

desire TO escape the long dreary cold
winters OF this and ether countries.
Then, do not let the people weary
but push the good roads which are to

portunities to grow and ship produce
and multiply our comforts. If it will
do this, and it will, then We want it
now while we are here to enjoy the

the cause of death. The can was de-
posted in the baggage car at Wal
tersburg by a man and woman. who
said they would take it off at Drayos-

cious actions aroused the curiosity
of Mcdonald. and when the train start

CHANGERS NOW PLAN
TO FORM BIG TRUST
Convention for Organization
to be Held in Chicago
September s

Chicago, Aug. 2O.-Plans for COM
blning farmers, fruit growers, dairymen
and all other producers of natural food
products into one national organiza-
tion were considered at a conference
here between representatives Of sew
eral farmers cooperative associations.
This movement has for its purpose the
maintaining of prices; the control Of
distribution of products, and the saving
OF large sums of money paid in COM
missions. The plan under considera-
ton contemplates the erection of grain
elevators and cold storage warehouses
in all parts of the country where prod
ucts can be held. if necessary, until
such time as they can be marketed at
a fair price. AS a result Of the confer
ence it was decided to hold a farmers
convention in Chicago, September 8. to
consider detailed plans Of organiza-
ton
Progressive farmers are all invited
to attend. so that one of the present
plans may be adopted, or that from all
of them one may be devised that will
be most acceptable to the agricultural
interests and in which all workers for
the upbuilding of the country can
unite.
It was claimed by those who attended
the conference that when the organi-
zation is completed the farmer will be
able to get 81 a bushel for wheat, go
cents for corn and 40 cents for oats
throughout the year.

STILL HAVE HOPE FOR
THE PANAMA CANAL
Colombian Congress Appoints
Committee to Form Terms
of Treaty

Washington. Aug. ~. Uaomciai,
but what is considered entirely relia-
bic information. has been received by
Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge
d'affaires here. indicating an inten-
tion on the part of the Colombian
senate to resume consideration Of the
subject of the Panama canal treaty
in place of the one disapproved by
that body. This shows q decided
change in the turn of affairs and
leads DR.. Herran to hope that a meas
ure yet will be passed by congress
which will form the basis FOR the rati-
cation of a treaty between the United
States Of Colombia and the United
States Of America for the coastruc-
tion of an isthmian canal. Dr. Her
rams information is that on the day
after disapproval of the treaty by the
senate that body voted to appoint n
committee of three members to act
jointly with q committee from the
house of representatives in the forma-
tion of a measure having for its object
the ratification of a treaty between
the two countries by the executive of
Colombia, after the two houses Of the
Colombian congress had passed an
enabling act outlining the terms and
conditions upon which a treaty could
be drawn. The president of Colon
bia would have full ratifying power.
A more careful reading of the dis
patch which Dr. Herran received early
in the week announcing the action OF
the senate on the treaty shows that
what that body really did was to dis
approve" the instrument and not "re-
jeot" It, as has been heretofore stated.

Defeat for Legion of Honor.

Of Honor won victory at Philadelphia
this week, when the United States cir
cult court decided in Hugh w. Blacks
favor the suit against the supreme
council Of the order. Black became a
member in 1888 and made a contract
for IS 900 in the benefit fund Recent
ly the defendant corporation amended
it's bylaws so that no amount over
1000 should be paid to any beneficiary.
Upon notice of this amendment the
plaintiff, who had not assented to it,,
and who had complied with all the con-
ditions OF his contract, including called
assessments, stipulated dues, etc, re-
fused 10 submit to the alteration of 1t
which the amendment purported to pro-
scribe. He asserted and exercised the
right to rescind the contract, by reason
of its anticipatory breach by the de-
fendant, and accordingly he brought
an action in assumpsit to recover the
money he had paid under it.
The court sustained this view and en-
tered judgment for the plaintiff for
