The Tampa Times says;
1T is announced from Omaha that
the McKeen gasolene car has been
officially tested and proven such sue
cess that numbers Of them are in pro-
cess Of manufacture for use on the
branches OF the Union Pacific. Those
cars will take the place Of mail, ex-
press and passenger trains on branches
where the business is light, greatly re-
ducing the expense Of operation. There
would seem to be no good reason why
the gasolene car should not be en-
ployed on system OF cheap and mex
pensively constructed roads leading
from Tampa TO various adjacent cities,
like BrooksyIlle. Barlow, Arcadia and
the lively string of towns on the west
coast"
Why not, indeed9 1t would seem
that such plan would appeal to capital,
II the matter could be properly pre-
sented and the scope of profitable pos
slbilities shown to investors.

The great ship labored in the storm.
Ever and anon giant wave would
throw the steel leyiathan on her beam

a roar that rose above the fury Of the
hurricane, a mob Of determined men
burst upon the deck

Too bad that the Everglade drainage
scheme could not be side-tracked in
favor of a plan TO settle people upon
lands already drained and ready for
cultivation. To the bystander, ignor-
ant OF political wire-pulling, it would
seem that for the present the need in
this State is more inhabitants. When
the vast tracts of fertile soil now await
ing the home-seeker are settled, then
would be time to prepare more lands

ouARANTlNe ABUSES.

Little intelligence is required OF the
person who occupies the position OF
state health officer Of Arkansas, as ex-
hibited by his order that Florida or
anges cannot be shipped into that
State, because yellow fever exists at
Pensacola.
Generally, in.matters concerning the
public health the Ignorance and incom-
potency Of those intrusted with the
duty OF safeguard Is a continuous libel
Of civilized people. Confirmation Of
this assertion can be gained by travel
through the States which now have
quarantine rules in effect.
After running the gauntlet OF health
inspectors, pulled up with arrogance
and authority, but devoid of common
sense, it is an experience far from
pleasant, and source Of wonder
through what circumstance many quar-
antine guards owe their appointment.
Naturally, a quarantine is an annoy
ance to the travelling public, but there
is no reason why It's unpleasant feat
ures should be increased by Incivility
and ignorance of those chosen to en-
force the health DEGREES.

"There is trouble ahead for dealers
in Peruna and like connections, the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
having ruled that the manufacturers
Of these inventions OF the devil must
pay distiller's license, and that deal
ers must pay the United States reve-
nue. license" says the DeFuniab
Breeze. "Under the laws of our State
the possession Of an internal revenue
license is prima facia evidence OF sell
ing liquor. Those who have been dis
pensing this and other like medicines
with the knowledge that they were
being used for beverages, now stand a
pretty good good chance Of getting
what is properly coming to them"

The True Democrat, speaking OF
"extrayagant management" in cleri-
cal hire OF the State departments, de-
clares that in the Office Of the Comp
troller the payroll now foots up to
s2s, 800 for assistance. Perhaps this
increase is caused by the Saving to
the Taxpayers" through the pruning
OF payment for publication OF the de-
linquent tax list. We should Judge
that TO be the case on account CT hav-
ing received vsluminous circulars and
reports ION which, by the way. sufiici-
ent postage was not placed), explana-
tory of why the Comptroller declined
to render full payment Of bill for
publication OF tax list, although the
work was done in good faith and ac-
cording to copy furnished. The True
Democrat may be able to inform a
sceptical public whether other ac-
counts passing through the Comptrol-
ler's office are treated with such "fidel-
ity and economy"

MATCHING HOMESTEAD CLAWS

MATCHING HOMESTEAD CLAI'As.
DeFuniak Breeze Several times
lately We have called attention to the
fact that the day OF lax methods in
making proofs on homesteads was past,
and that il was worse than useless TO
undertake to prove up unless the law
had been strictly complied with. There
must be actual and continuous resi-
dence and cultivation Of such charac-
ter as to show good faith on the part
Of the applicant. Another point that
is we'll to bear in mind, and that is that
the government is making very strict
inquiry into the financial condition OF
the applicants to pre-empt, and II
there is any reason to believe that the
money is being borrowed from tut
pentine or timber man the jig is up.
An inspection lie made Of every home
stead by special agent Of the depart
ment, and if his report does not coin
eide with the testimony Of the wit
nesses, there is prospect Of further
trouble.
