PENSACOLA PERSONALITIES.

The Jasper News suggests the name
of Hon w. A. Blount, Of Pensacola, for
the next gubernatorial vacancy, and the
Chipley Banner seconds the suggestion
remRrking that "a better selection could
not be made. II il too early to con-
slider the matter Of choosing a success
sor to Governor Broward; and, although
1t is clearly West Florida's turn, Sena-
tor Blount is not likely TO entertain
any such aspirations,
Concerning the recent appointment
OF Judge Charles B. Parkhil TO the Su-
preme Bench, the Pensacola Journal
aptly says:
The appointment Of Judge Charles b.
ParkhilI to the Supreme Court will re-
move from Pensacola one Of the most
universally esteemed and deservedly
popular gentlemen whom Pensacola has
ever had the privilege Of claiming as a
citizen. A sterling Democrat, a pol
ished orator, a charming conversation,
alist, and, withal, u typical gentleman,
Judge PaTkhill has u personality which
few men possess and which fewer men
still can resist, and he holds q place In
the hearts Of PensacoliRns which no or
binary man could obtain. In common
with his other legion Of friends In this
city, The Journal congratulates Judge
PRrkhill upon his appointment, but Il
cannon help expressing the regret which
all feel Rt losing him as \ neighbor and
citizen He win, beyond question, shed
luster upon the position which &C many
able men have occupied before him, and
In Il all no one will rejoice more In his
good fortune and his increased honor
than will his friends in the Deep Water
City.

THG WALES CLAIM.

The eztEaOrdinaEy result Of the pro
ceedings IA the Senate on Monday s
the matter Of the Wales claim Is be
yOnd rational explanation, and hence BC
good purpose could be served by at
tempting an analysis Of the vote, or Of
the motives Of those who voted. A
simple, plain statement of the facts az
they occurred will abundantly inform
the public concerning the transaction.
When the House bill amending the
act Of 1903 so as to pay $l2, 500 each to
s. /. WALES and the Beard estate came
to the Senate the judiciary committee
presented a substitute providing that
the claimants should be authorized TO
appeal TO the courts, by bringing suit
against the State in any court of COM
petent jurisdiction for the amount
claimed as commissions on the collec-
ton Of the Indian war claim After
debate, the Senate rejected the amend
ment TO the House bill (being the sub
stitute above mentioned), by a vote of
Is TO Is, as follows:
Yeas-SenatOrs Bailey, Blount, Grill,
Davis, Harris, Hudson, HUMPHREYS, Nc
Creary, Newlan, Raney, Sans, Scott,
Stockton, West and Wilson-l5.
Nays--Mr. President, Senators Ad-
ans, Afford, Baskin, Canova, Clarke,
Crane, Crews, Faulkner, Gillen, Jack
son, Lee, Massey, Neel, Wadsworth
and Tim 10.
WhereupOn, Senator Harris moved to
indefinitely postpone the House bill
which was before the Senate, and, in
the language of the war correspond
ents, 1.-THE incident was closed"
As above intimated, we do not care
to discuss the matter farther at this
time, but will be content with the re-
mark that now Florida is fairly and
in the ranks of those sovereign
States which have deliberately repudi-
ated their just obligations, simply be-
cause they had the power TO do so;
and the prediction that Florida will yet
have to pay the Wales claim in full
with interest.

We printed last week 9 synopsis o
the report Of the committee which in
lvestigated the Florida University a
Lake City, together with q denial o.
the committees statements by the
Jacksonville Times-Union. Although
the passage Of the Buchanan bill practi
cally eliminates many Of the ISSUES
raised in the matter of the university,
public interest remains centered upon
the real conditions existing there, and
the execution of the law as enacted
must be largely affected by such condit-
ions.
In addition to the prompt editorial re-
spone of the Times Union TO the charges
made in the committees report, the
president of the institution has publish

Apropos Of this and other investigat-
ing committee reports the Palatka
Times-Herald pertinently remarks:
Perhaps never before have Florida
Legislative committees appointed to in
spect the State institutions made re-
ports so plainly and pOintedly wOrded
as those which have recently startled
the people of Florida. The committees,
luckily, consisted of men who were de-
termined to themselves inspect the in
stitutions visited, and to make faith
full report of their findings In years
past these investigating trips were re-
garded as nothing more nor less than
pleasure junkets-at most merely
matter of form. We remember that
few years since disgraceful state of
affairs existed at well-known educa-
tional institution, and the members of
the committee. before they left Talla-
hassee, were notified of these cOndit-
ions. Yet, despite all this, the commit |
tee reported everything "lovelv." No |
real examination of the buildings-nO !
effort in fact. was made to investigate
the conduct of the management of the |
school. 1t has been limited that the
findings" were written by a member
of the faculty long before the arrival of |
the committee on the scene. This case
Bas perhaps but one of many.
