BOOKS FOR THE BOYS.

There is not question today
which is of as great Importance as
the one of proper literature for the
growing boy.
There are so many books put upon
the market ostcnsibly for the young
which outside of their alluring COW
ers and attractive titles have abso-
lutcIy nothing in them that will
either hurt or help the youthful
reader.
The result of the reading of yellow
tales Of adventure, on the young
mind, is too well known to admit of
any controversy.
Like the coming of a circus to
town, which emuIatcs every boy who
sees it, to be a bareback rider or a
clown, they do not care which, does
book have the same effect.
In the last ten years there has I'M
doubtedly been decided improve
ment in the class of boys books.
Dime novels are not as generally
read as they We're then, and for this
the opening of so many public Ii
braries can be thanked
A story of the woods has a mar
Vicious fascination for the boy. He
loves to read of the mysteries, the
dangers, the hidden dells and the
wild free life that sOjourn in the
density invites, and if an Indian
lends his striking personality to the
scene the book is complete to his
Judgment
That these books have in them
some element of good, is true, but
they are not the best kind of novel
to put into young hands. What is
the proper kind is hard to decide.
If one goes to the library and asks
for a good book the librarian
nine times out of ten-will advise
you to read the old books, and they
are about right.
What tale of adventure has ever
been written that is better than
Charles Levers Charles O'Mal-
ley?"
Have any of the heroes of modern
novels ever gone through with more
startling events than this dashiug

soldier, although he was attired on
ly in an ordinary uniform and not in
a Jeruke and small clothes?
Can Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe"
be equalled by any cOncOction of the
present popular writers?
Where will one find anything more
exciting than the brave exploits of
Dumas ''Three Guardsmen," with
their ever ready swords, always
ready to draw in the cause Of truth
and honor?
There never was and never will be
written as great books rs there are,
and nearly every book of this stamp,
written in the present epoch, is but
u weak repetition in different sCyle
of the masterpieces of these three
models of adventurous fiction.

THE"HIGHER EDUCATION.'

Only one student out of eighty in
Johns Hopkins university could
identify IL couple of familiar quota
tions used in newspaper editorial.
Johns Hopkins is II "hlgher school
of learning''-how much higher is a
question.
These seventy-nine students had
heard or read something somewhere
about the leopard being unable to
change his spots or the Ethiopian
his skin, but they attributed the
reference to every authorship save
that of the Bible.
The other quotation was in refer
ence to the sun standing still. On
ly one of the eighty knew that Il man
by the name of Joshua was present
on that occasion.
And these students were candi-
dates for literary honors.
Up in Tennessee II man has actual
~ started Il school to teach college
graduates the common branches.
He first teaches them how to spell
and write and figure correctly.
When they are able to do these
things he gives them lessons in
English composition and Il course in
Shakespeare and the Bible.
This school has not attracted a
great lot of students. The need Of
this institution, however, Is pretty
generally admitted.

In Lafayette county with a popula-
ton of 1887 there was total of 1852
votes pollcd in the late democratic
primary, or one vote to every six in
habitants. In Putnam county, with
a population of II, Gll there was to-
tai of Oh votes, or one vote for each
twelve inhabitants. The Broward
vote, as returned from Lafayette
county, was $50, or nearly double the
entire democratic voting strength of
the county. In the face of such eX-
pert voting in Lafayette and a dozen
other counties, the Broward vic
tory ca is indeed unique.

WILL DEMOCRATS TOLER-
ATE FRAUD?

an general, the condition of NOR
ais in any society or state or genera
ton is determined by determining
what is tolerated by public opinion.
The standard of private morals must
be measured by the opinion of
society. The standard of public
morals must be determined by con-
siduring what the people will toler-
ate in their public en."-Senator
Geo. f. Hoar.
Will the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party in Florida tolerate fraud
ulent methods in the men who have
been delegated to conduct its first
general primary election?
The News cannot believe that the
standard of public morals within
the democratic party in Florida has
reached to that low state, wherein
the whole electorate can be defeated
of its will for the personal profit of u
few corruptionists, without protest
of such vigorous character as to en-
danger the Conference of the party.
This question will be put to the
test today, when the state executive
committee OF the party will meet to
pass upon those charges of fraud
which have been raised concerning
the conduct of the recent state pri-
mary,
We believe the democratic voters
of Florida want their primary cleo
tions conducted honestly, the votes
honestly counted and the result de-
clarod in exact accord with the find
ings. This has not been done.
Men in position to know the facts
state that the primary election OF
the 18th instant abOunded in fraud ;
that these frauds can be traced di-
rect to that political faction i'll Jack
sOnVille which is dominated by
Stockton, Bars and Broward.
Evidence of the fraud, so far rs
the public has any knowledge, has
thus far been confined to the opera
tions of this gang and its henchmen
in the city of Jacksonville.
But the statement is made that
similar frauds have been practiced
in other counties and that evidence
to substantiate these charges will be
placed before the state committee
The statement is further made
that whether this committee takes
cogniZancc of these frauds or MOI
will depend upon the partizan bias
of the committee.
What do democratic electors o
Florida think of that statement,
Think you they will quietly submit
to being robbed on the majority say
so of their executive committee?
What do the democratic electors
of Florida think of the "wheel with

ed to investigate.
There will always be more or less
of factionalism in party organization
but unless all factions are willing
to submit their causes to the honest
verdict of voters, then we see the
beginning Of the end of primary OBJ
legation and the beginning of the enc
of the democratic party in Florida.
The democratic voters of Florida
will not tolerate a dishonest conduct
of their primary.

the same position as Hanna held under Mckinley The relations between Presi- dent Roosevelt and Senator Quay are al- ready very close and the President is se- riously thinking of taking the advice of his friend Quay and asking his repre- sentative Penrose to accept the chairman ship.
 One of the strongest points in the se- lection of Penrose Is the fact that Quay could obtain big campaign contributions the losses the administration will sustain from the failure of the business interests which distrust Roosevelt and are not go- ing to put up their cash with the usual lavishness to continue the wild west show in power here. The administration organ, the Star with reference to Penrose's de- sirability as chairman, this afternoon says:
 Tt Is stated to be a fact that the cam paign contributions from Pennsylvania to the republican party exceed those from any state in the country, not excepting New York and the Wall street interests when they are friendly to the republican nominee John Wanamaker raised four hundred thousand dollars in Philadelphia alone for The Harrison cafnpafgn 1t is stated. Senator Penroses ability to se- cure large contributions from thnt state will be an important factor in his proba- ble usefulness to his party as its cam paign manager.

BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

vXY ASHINGTON, March 5.--(Special) M Governor Odelrs decision to
 cancel his engagement with the President is attributed to his desire to allow matters in the republican party in the empire state to drift along for a few days without taking any decisive ac- ton. The governor is busy harmonizing things by humiliating Senator Patt through the removal of his friend State Chairman Dunn.
 It is announced that the ''old man" is politically dead. This has happened about one thousand times. When the democrats roll up big majority in New York this fall, the Odell crowd will prob ably blame it on Platt regardless of the fact, that he is now supposed to nave no power in New York republican politics. The governor also takes occasion to deny that he is after the chairmanship of the national committed. He even goes fur thel and says De wouldn't have it on a silver platter.
 Tn this connection Senator Quay s4of Pennsylvania, saw the President this morning. Quay wants his colleague Sen ator Penrose to step into Hanna's shoes. With Penrose the titular chairman, Quay would really have the management of the campaign and In case the republican ticket should be elected, Quay would hold

 Neglected Official Duty.
 My congressman thus neglected his of ficial duty to me for personal reasons exclaimed Captain Hobson. and is it not reasonable to suppose that he would neglect his other constituents for simi- lar reason?' This was greeted with loud cheers.
 The naval officer then answered Colonel Bankheads argument about the rural mall delivery, and the soil survey, saying that he had not attended to these duties or the people would be enjoying the bene- fits
 Captain Hobson took up the matter of river navigation and again asserted that the locks on the Warrior river were en- tirely too small, notwithstanding Colonel Bankhead's statements to the contrary. This matter brought up the charge of Colonel Bankhead's being affiliated with the railroads and for this reason Captain Hobscon said he was not fit man to rep resent his people in congress. He read at length from Colonel Bankheads record, which he explained was compiled by re- liable bureau in Washington, and that the records cited were absolutely correct. He also charged the congressman with CO., auetting with the populist party, and at the same time was charging him with not being a democrat.
 Explains Failure to Register.
 The naval officer explained why he had not registered. saying that he could not afford to register and affiliate with any party so long as he was connected with the navy. "The first chance I have to vote" said the captain, T will vote the democratic ticket" He produced a record to show that Colonel Bankhead had voted against bill which proposed to punish railroads for evading the interstate com merce law. He again quoted his favorite poetry: "It Is not because he loves his party less, but because he loves his rail- roads more"
 After showing that Colonel Bankhead had voted with the railroads on several bills In congress, the captain ended the subject by making the broad proposition that the people had as well expect the railroads to build the Panama canal as to expect Colonel Bankhead to secure river navigation.
 Captain Hobson then went into the mat ter of competitive examinations and said that he would always grant a competitive examination between the white boys of the district Talk about them being democrats,'' he said, "how could you tell whether fifteen year old boy was a democrat or republican.
