UNDER FALSE COLORS.

The Miami Metropolis is making n
gallant fight against certain local aspi-
rants for office in Democratic primary
contest for nominations who find il
somewhat difficult to "prOve up" their
claims to be regarded az Democrats.
Because one Of them, a Republican,
has taken sides in favor Of one Demo-
crat and against another in Demo
cratic intcr-party contest for nomina-
ton, he claims to be eligible TO become
candidate for municipal Office
against Democrat; while another,
who has been proven, Notwithstanding
his denial, to have been officially con-
noCtcd with socialist party organiza-
ton, also thinks himself entitled To en-
ter for a nomination in Democratic
primary
The Metropolis regrets that party
politics should have been injected into
the present municipal campaign" but
under the circumstances it feels in
duty bound to disclose to the unsuspect-
ing voter the real facts" and it pro-
ceeds to do 30 in no uncertain manner.
While We adhere to the belief that Il
would be godsend to the Florida Dem
ocracy for the Republicans to organize
and make a contest for the public offices
State, county and municipal-we Ger.

Metropolis with Republicans or Social
lists who endcavor to sneak in under the
canvass Of the Democratic circus under
the false pretense that they belong in

BOOKER'S SECOND BREAK.

John Wanamaker, ex- Postmaster
General, his daughter, Mrs. Washbur-
ton, and Booker T Washington, dined
together at the United States Hotel,
Saratoga, on recent Sunday, the ne
gro escorting the daughter Of the de-
partment store magnate TO the table.
Comment might be omitted but for
the fact that this is the second time
that Washington has had an oppor-
tunity to show good sense and devo-
ton to the interests of his race in the
South, and the second time his bump
tiOus desire to show that he is las good
a. a white man" has caused him to dis
regard the welfare Of his own people
for the sake Of petty personal gratifi-
cation.
SO far as Wanamaker and his daugh-
ter are concerned, no one need be at all
surprised at their behavior. As the la
mented and pure minded Lincoln was
wont to remark: For those who like
that sort of thing, that is just about the
sort Of thing they may be expected to
like"
Booker Washington, however, being
more familiar with the probable conse-
quences Of his conduct, should have had
the manhood TO refuse to be placed in
the position Of alternating the many
friends in the South whose encourage
ment and support in his worthy enter
prise was his best, and for some time
his only, reliance in the early stages of
his enterprise at Tuskegee.

THE COCAINE TRAFFIC.

Pensacola has a very severe Ordi-
nance forbiddng under heavy penal
ties the indiscriminate traffic in cocaine
that has prevailed for several years,
and two prominent druggists have been
placed under arrest for violating its
provisions.
There should be- a State law on the
subject, not only in Florida but in
every other Southern State. In Geor-
gia, the negro population is becoming
hopelessly infected with the cocaine
habit, the result being a rapid increase
in crime and insanity, and the evil
promises to become as dangerous in
Florida.
lis said that the northern manufac-
turers of the drug are sending secret
agents to introduce it and encourage
the habit among southern negroes. and
where these agents cannot make sales
they give the stuff away in order TO
establish a demand for il.
Whether this is true or not, the traf-
fic should be stopped, or regulated lik
the sale OF any other poison

A TInID Jury.

The trial of William r. Williams at
Pensacola for the murder Of John White
has attracted public attention through
out the State, and, although he was de.
Tended by able counsel (whO utterly
failed to establish a defense on the
ground of temporary inSanity'), the
verdict was confidently expected to be
adequate to the crime.
Nevertheless, the jury, while forced
by the overwhelming preponderance Of
evidence TO convict the accused Of muir
der in the first degree, was timid or un-
wise enough TO sdd TO it a recommends
tion Of mercy, which, under our law,
fixes the punishment at life imprisOn-
ment.
The motives which prompted this
ghsstly travesty on justice are, Of
course, unknown; but it may we'll be
presumed that the jury was either i'm
pressed with fear Of personal antago-
nism on the part Of the friends Of the
accused, or were simply too habby-
minded 10 perform their plain duty to
the public.
Fortunately, their shameful derelic-
ton promises TO be cured, as the accused
was Immediately arraigned for the muir
der Of Edwin G. Dansby, committed at
the same time az that Of John White,
and change Of venue TO Jackson
county was granted by the court. 1t is
to be hoped that Jackson county jury
can be selected which will be able TO
perform it's manifest duty without
or wOrse-evasion through the
loophoIe Of the law permitting rec
to mercy"

PANAMA VS.. NICARAGUA.

| Considerable interesting light is
thrown upon the Panama canal project
by Hon. j. ID. YeOmans, Of Sioux City,
Iowa, who for several years was a
member Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. In a recent article he is
represented as saying that the Panama
canal is "the greatest humbug Of the
age" and having been one of syndi-
cate that was prepared TO build an 18TH
milan on the Nicaragua route he alleges
that 500, 900, 900 would have constructed
a canal there which would have carried
n million tons of traffic annually, and
the work would have been completed in
four years.
But, says Mr. Yeomans, this looked
too much like canal, and the great in
fuences behind the present transconti-
mental transportation business suddenly
ceased opposing the canal project and
pushed the clamor over to Panama.
The men who run the big railroads know
what Panama is.
'Do you suppose Congress will go on
putting up money for grave stones and
quinine down there? am glad l am not
in it Everybody down there wants TO
do what Wallace did or what the boss
Of the whole works is doing i've in
New York and run it by proxy.
why should Shonts or Wallace be
chosen to dig canal anyway? They
never did piece Of work in their lives
OF this sort or anything calculated to
equip them for doing it.
Every man selected so far to do the
work has been picked from transcon-
tinental railroad. Would you pick
competitor to build a competing bust
ness? They may be all right, but none
Of it looks like canal to me-"
There is no doubt that the belief pre-
walls, in accordance with the utterances
Of Mr.. Yeomans but not because of
them, that the Isthmian canal project
was vehemently opposed and lobbed
against by the transcontinental railroad
interests, which were powerful enough
to block legislation on the subject for
several years; also, that the same in
huences prevailed, when legislation
could no longer be prevented or delayed
in the selection Of the Panama route
and the abandonment Of the Nicaragua
route.
These malign influences, so pointedly
to by Senator Morgan in his
several speeches on the subject, must
have been exerted upon the canal COM
in the first instance, to induce
that body to repudiate its recommen-
dation in favor Of Nicaragua and make
a supplemental report in favor of Pan
anna. Otherwise Congress would have
been without excuse for choosing the
latter as the official route.
What were those influences? How |
were they applied? Who got the bene-
fits which may have accrued thereby? |
These are questions which can, per-
haps, only be fully answered by the in
1ividual members of the canal commits
sion themselves; and it is scarcely to
be expected that they, or any one of
them, will ever have a word to say
about the matter, voluntarily.

The YELLOW FEVER RECORD.


The record Of the prevailing epidemic
in New Orleans discloses some remark
able characteristics.
Up to the 18th Of August, when the
greatest number of new cases (105)
were reported, the local authorities had
been in charge; and the greatest num-
Der Of deaths reported on any day (l2)
was the record for the 18th and 14th.
From that time, under the administra-
ton of the Marine Hospital authorities,
the number Of new cases each day rap
idly decreased, to as on the goth; and
the number of deaths decreased to 4 on
the 10th and 17ta and on the 18th and
goth.
If anything in the shape Of argument
or illustration is needed to justify the
prevailing demand that all of the lower
Atlantic and Gulf coasts should be
placed under the supervision and con-
troll, for all quarantine purposes, of the
Marine Hospital Service, as Florida now
is, the foregoing record is enough.

The distinguished editor of the Bar
tow COurier-InfOrmant recently paid
the following just and eloquent triOute
to the fidelity and skill Of State Health
Officer Joseph Y. Porter: There are
many different lines in which men may
achieve distinction. Politics, religion,
medicine, laws, literature, and science
all afford wide fields for the employ
ment of human agency and ability in
attaining that much desired but fleet
ing thing we call fame.
If the confidence, the love and the
admiration Of his fellow citizens enti-
ties any man in the State of Florida to
have his name high on the name of
fame, that man is Joseph Y. Porter.
AS chief health officer of the State, he
has bent every energy, employed every
faculty Of mind and body to conserve
the health and well-being of the people
Of Florida. He has fought yellow
fever and other dreaded forms of dis
ease, hand to hand, with wonderful
courage and skill, and, best Of all, with
wonderful success.
When the names of our governors
and senators, our railroad magnates
and millionaires are entirely forgotten
the name of Joseph Y. Porter will
shine with ever increasing lustre even
to the latest generation whom he has
served so faithfully and we'll.

ment on the Marion county judgeship

Governor Jennings set the precedent
to ignore the recommendations of county
executive committees in the matter of
appointments. His fate in the primary
demonstrated the condemnation of the
people upon his action. Will not Gov

fate so sad, or will he exercise that

be the same if he does.

The Times should know that all pub

are called vacations. Some of the JUS
