No TrARs--NO FLOWERS.

FROM the tone of the following
editorial taken in its entirety
from the Tampa Tribune, that
paper does not hold in very high
regard the members of the Leg
islature which finished its la
bors and adjourned last Friday
The Tribune says:
There will be but few tears
shed for the present legislature
when it disappears into the cold
and clammy tomb of public OBJ
livion at noon to-day.
'It has pretended more aud
done less than any body which
has ever drawn a per diem from
the state treasury.
ut has contained fewer able
men and more incompetents than
any of it's predecessors,
ut has made it possible for
the world to say; 1.-THE state OF
Florida does not pay its debts. :"
ut has shown an utter disre-
gard for the higher and better
interests Of Florida, and has
squandered the public's time in
senseless rag chewing over in
considerable triHes.
"Wheuever it has bad an OPP
portunity to do something of in
calculable good for the state and
its people, it has been found
wanting.
lit has served to introduce to
the state a coterie of pin-feath-
cred would.be "reformers" who
entered the capitol with the firm
belief that they were great men
and that they were called upon
to save the state from Quixotic
evils that have never existed
save in their sophomore imagi-
nations.
The few really able men of
tho body have been powerless to
accomplish the things that were
necessary to the upbuilding and
progress OF the state.
"They tried hard but were
checkmated by a blatant and
thick .skulled majority.
THE action Of the body on
the WALES claim and it's MONACO
ton on the St.Louis appropria-
ton are the tests by which it's
competency and intelligence
must be guarded.
Needless to say, it shows up
as an impotent nonentity.
For its decease, there are no
tears. On its grave there are
no flowers.
LET us pray that Florida will
never look upon it's like again."

rs UNWIlSE, Z SAYS A
GOV. MONTAGUE |I.
He Allows Lee Statue Bill to ']'
Become a Law Without
His Signature.

Considerable surprise was occasloned
IN Confederatc circles and elsewhere by
the failure of the Governor to sign the
bill passed by both branches Of the
Legislature to place tho statue of Gem
eral Robert II. Lee in statuary Hall,
Washing ton,
Tho bill became law without the
Executive signature, after the expiration
OF five days from the time 1t was sent to-
the Governor. Governor Montague was
asked last night why he did not approve
tho measure
II do not approve Of It at this time
he said. "Flrst of all" he continued.
"wcre General Leo living so that he
could be asked his wlshcssin the matter,
or if his opinion could be learned. he
would be more opposed to such thing
than any one else. General Lee did not
need any such monument, and 1t ought
not to be forced against any such con-
siderable oppositlon as has developed"
The Executive said that no one had q
greater admiration for Genera Lee than
he, but he regarded this effort to ofhonor
him as UNNECESSARY, unwise and mex
pcdient."

matter over considerably He had not
the slightest hesItancy In expressing him

give his reasons more fully as soon as

OF Memphis are In q prccarious condl-
ton. lead to fear Of other serious Gre
vases.
Gradually the waters crept up the side
OF the levce at Trice's Landing. Sacks OF
dirt and sand were piled along It's tops
and temporary embankments OF earth
were thrown up. The rise to-day carried
the water over a foot higher, sweeping
