A FEW GOOD RULES.

At time when the political
campaign has developed more
or less mud singing aud per-
soual abuse, the average voter
may possibly be undecided just
who to support. There are a
few good rules that may BE-
used in taking the measurement
If a candidate for public office
aud Judging his fitness to fill
that office. First of all, he must
be honest. Then he must have
a level head; not easily moved
by this cry or that, sprung to
attract passing attention in the
hope of winning votes, He
must be competent to fill the
Office. He must be one who 10
tends to perform the duties OF
the Office personally and not
leave the duties for others, He
must be broad. minded; built on
good, substantial wide guage. a
man of action, a man with a
clean record.
If the voter will consider these
requisites when making his bal.
lot. the right men will be non. =
mated on May 10th for all Off
ces, county, state and federal -

In some quarters--notably th'
Second Congressional District
the campaign has degeneraree
into one of personal abuse.
Stick to the issues, candidates
The public record of a caudi
date is matter for legitimate
discussion, but the voters Of
Florida are not concerned in til,
private personal affairs of any
candidate, and the people are
becoming disguised and tired OF
having candidates denounce
their opponents as liars, thieves
and other like things.

But none of the proposals have been anywhere as definite and rsnsonabie GmrrH na,eo as the one presented by MT has agreed to supply us with 10000 20 900, 30006 or 10000 negroes from Alabama. all of whom have been accus- toned, to work on railroads or other these negroes from $1.10 to $175 per day. according to grade of work done" n There are signs that certain of the Panama Canal Commissioners are itch ing to undertake the construction of the big ditch on behalf of the govern ment. instead of letting the work to private contractors.
 Secretary Murphy today closed con- tracts for the delivery at Panama of three monster steam shovels. One has capacity of seventy tons and the oth- CT two nave capacity of ninety-five tons each. They are to be used at once on the Culebra cut, under the di- rection of government engineers In addition to this. the Commission has contracted for lot of other materials to be delivered at Panama, so that the Federal construction plant Is assuming imposing proportions.
 These signs of activity have caused a number of inquiries to be sent to ment intended to let contracts for the canal. and, if so, when. Secretary Murphy has replied to all the anxious ones with the statement that the Com mission has yet to determine under what plans the canal shall be dug. There will be more information avail able on this subject in the course of a couple of weeks.
 The members of the Canal Commis- sion are now in Panama, but they will leave for New York some time next week. It Is expected that by the time cnTe cney feach to SWa,shington they will have government will take the job or whether 1t shall go to contractors.

Not Not tfaVa'sns the smaliesa ana proplem Tn this connection Is the ques- tion of what to do with the excavated material. All the dirt that is shoveied out of the mountain side in digging the Culebra cut has to be carted off some hve miles and dumped into swamp lands and into deep gorges. The CuIe- bra cut so-called. extends over seven miles of mountainous country. and millions and millions of cubic wards of art must be removed before it IS com pleted. Consequently, IL will be real 1zed at once that 1t is something of a NY hot xo l stuff "A'H oA lHo
