La democracia. (Ponce, P.R.) 1890-1948, 1903-09-07

Los repubIicanos de hoy, como los
incondicionales de antes Y los vividores
de siernpre, cada instante inventan una
muletilla para desacreditar los que no
piensan como ellos, meior dicho los
que como ellos no quieren perder su Dig
nidad nj su decoro polltico.
Y de ahf que despu6s de llamarnos
anti-anericanos, como antes Sc nos til
daba de anti-espS1oles, ahora cambian
de runnbo Y descaradamente proclaman
que 1z1suitdnoos al Go6ierno.
Habra que pregnntar esta gente
por 10 que ellos entienden por insulto,
va que tau adelentados estan en- piropos
alabanzas gubernamentales.
Fin ninguna lengua conocida podra
confundirse nunca la palabra Ves'dGd con
la palabra aaaSultO, siendo dos voces tan
aatag6nicas entire ST de sentido moral
tan opuesto.
Decir la verdaI. no es decir un in
sulto.
Yo le puedo decir un funcionario
cualquiera que no cumple con 81 deber,
al decirle esta verdad, ST realmente 10
es, de ning1n modo he de insult~rle.
Podrfa evitarse una censura en- los
hechos de la vida privada, perO NO en- los
de la vida p1blica, porque ellos pertene-
cen al dominic del pueblo que derecho
tiene la fscal;zaci censura de los
actos de sus gobernantes.
ST as1 no fuese, tampoco nuestrO GO
bierno podrfa sostener ell principle sus-
tancial que le inspira debe inspirarle,
ell principle democratico que es ell alma
mater de toda rep6blica.
Los gobiernos desp6ticos absolu-
tos son los que no admiten ningun g6
nero de oposiciones.
Decir que Sc filtraron los dineros
del acueducto de San Juan, por eiemplo,
no puede ser insulto: es una verdad.
Asegurar que en- MayagIiez SO fill
traron tambien dineros del Municipio,
tampoco es un insulto.
Decir que en- ell Presidio Sc come
tieron irregularidades, tampoco 10 es.
Que ahora Sc han cometido en- ell

EDITOR MADISON ESTERpRIsH:--
You say editorially in your issue
Of last week;
"Judge A. o. Wright, Of Jack.
sonville, seems to be taking his can.
dacy for congress in earnest"
For some reason unknown to me
certain newspapers in this State have
p riistently ridiCuled the idea Of my
aspiring to congressional honors.
Before the campaign closes, a year
hence, l propose to convince my
brethren Of the press that such treat
ment is not only unmerited but un-
just
The white democrat in making
his ballot in the coming primary will
10 so with a mind Of his own. His
selection for congressman will be
the man who comes nearest his ideal
what congressman should be.
He will not be influenced by ndicule
or abuse, for by that time every can.
didate will have received q full
measure OF both.
In the list TO choose from there
will be men Of eloquence, men Of
learning, men Of action, men Of
Judgment, men of experience, men
with records, and men with positive
political views and principles more
or less aroused.
While / may not measure up to
the highest standard In any one Of
the above attributes, l have hope
that in my person, repute and record
all OF them may be so blended that
| may be the man Of his choice.

A Political Forecast.

The Tampa Tribune makes the fol
lowing interesting comments on the
political situation as it is to-day in
Florida:
political rumors are falling fast
and furious, and the festive politician
is on the alert. There have been
made moves on the State political
cbessboard during the past fortnight 4,
md it is openly asserted tonight by
those on the inside that a new State
Jlcket had been made up by one Of
the wings OF the party that is striv-
ing for recognition.
"The complexion Of the new tick.
ct reads like this:
"John N. G. Stockton for the
United States Senate, TO succeed
James p. Taliaferro.
"Governor Jennings, for Congress
to succeed s. M. Sparkman.
seen. Robert Bullock, Of 0cala,
for Governor, and Frank z. HarriS,
of OcalA, for State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction.
"Men high in political life aver
that Governor Jennings Is the only
AvailSble man that can defeat Spark.
man for Congress, and that ths
friends Of Stockton have succeeded
In perSuading him to make the race.
"The TAliafero influence will be
ct Frank Clarh's command in order
to defeat Barrs for Congress. CLARK
is one Of the ablest politicians In the
State, and he has bright prospects Of
success. Admirers Of Bars, how.
ever, are confident that the lines will
be drawn, and as soon as the cam.
paign is fairely begun that Clark's
chances will melt away like dew be-
fore the morning sun.
"Bob' Davis, OF Putnam, AM
Bob Bullock, OF Ocala, are recog
nized all over the State as whee
horses in the Democratic ranks
Both have served in Congress with
distinction and they are Floridian'
of ability and dCservedly pupulaI
with the old.timers. The race be
tween these two well known gentle
men will be an exciting one, and
when the lines are drawn it will b,

This writer remembers when the lake
in the rear OF the Florida Manufactur.
ing Co.'S. works was stocked with Ger
man Carp fish some twcuty years ago
by Capt. John l., lnglis who at that
time owned the lake and everything
surrounding It, Last Sunday morning
It was our good fortune to see one Of
tho fish which had been "gigged' by
Lias Perry, laborer at the works. The
fish was tremendous one, its body en-.
tirely fining small express wagon, such
a. 10 used by small boys. THE fish
readily brought Is cents. We have
never eaten this species OF fish, but it e
said that it's flesh is very fine and con
sidered great delicacy by epicures. 1t
certainly is not very attractive crea-
