is preferred on the list or who has at
his stage the largest number of votes.
Either plan may be used.
4. Anyone getting quota in this
way is declared elected. and no more
transferred votes are credited to him.
The process is continued until all the
surplus votes are transferred to men on
the lists who need them.
5. The returning officer then begins
at the bottom of the poll. The candi-
date having the lowest number of votes
is declared "out of the count" and all
| his votes are transferred to those on
his list who need them, in the way in
dictated above.
6. This process is continued by cut

from the bottom Of the poll upwards
until the required number Of elected
candidates remain. If these have not
all a full quota, those who came near

Proportional Representation
[Sixth Article.]

States. We, in Canada. call our chief
executive officer in an election q "re-
turning officer" The man in charge of
the polling subdivision" or election
precinct is called by us deputy re-
turning officer" So you will under
stand now what mean.
Under the Cove system each candi-
date publishes, at certain time before
the election, and in certain formal
way afsss sf@the-candidates to whom
he will transfer (1) nis- $ rasla votes If
he gets more than quota. or ~ an
his votes il he does not get votes
enough to be elected. The order of
preference of such transfer may either
be settled by the list or determined by
the comparative number of votes cast
for the others whom he names; that
is to say, the man having the largest
number Of votes On his own account
may have the first claim ON transferred
votes, if he needs them.
1t is, therefore, only necessary for
the voter to mark one name on his
ballot, and the result Of the election
can be obtained by dealing with state
ments furnished by the deputy return
ing officers from the polling subdivi-
sions, instead of the actual ballots be-
ing sent to the returning officer.
Then the process is this: g
/. The statements Of the deputies are
added together, and the total vote for
each candidate is ascertained, together
with the grand total of the whole vote
2. The grand total of the whole vote
is divided by the number of candidates
to be elected This gives the quota, "
or number Of votes necessary for cleo
ton.

In my last article described the
Hare Spence system. as being the one
which best illustrates the foundation
principle of proportional representa-
tion, namely. the single vote in a
plural district In the Hare-Spence
System the voter marks several choices
on his Doll 81 ith~the figures l. 2, 8,
etc. His first choice Is snn effect to
if possible; but if his ballot can not DC
used for the candidate of his first
choice, then his other choices are used
for the purpose of transferring his bal
LOT to some other candidate who stands
little lower in his estimation. In
other words. if the voter can not help
to elect his first choice. he can help
his second choice. or his third. or his
fourth, so that his ballot will not run
the risk of being wasted.
Now there are some practical COM
plexities in connection with the Hare
Spence system. which may perhaps
make a simpler system desirable. So
this week | present to you a very
simple system, proposed by Hon. VIM,
HI. Cove, of Salem, Mass, one of the
sswise men of the east" 1t is sys-
tenn much advocated in Massachusetts,.
The voter marks his own first-choice
in both the Hare-SDence system and
the Cove plan. So far, the systems are
alike. It is in regard to the second
choices, third choices, ETC., that the
ssystems differ. Under. the Cove plan
the candidate himself determines these
subsidiary choices. and the result is q
wonderful simpliflcation. Here is de.
scription OF the Cove voting system.

Outlook For Lumber.

According to the American Lumber
man, dealers in lumber in western
Minnesota and over large portions of
the Dakotas do not express high hope
that trade for the year will be more
than normal, if even that. Conditions
in Iowa are spotted, in certain sec
tions everything being hoped for and
in others little. There is nothing too
good for Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tories. The dealers of Arkansas and
Missouri are. as q whole, looking for
prosperous year. 1t is after the Mis-
sissippi is crossed, however, that the
feeling is most bouyant, and if in the
larger portions of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania there shall
practically be any end to the consump-
ton of lumber, the dealers are not
aware of it. Northern Kentucky is
also in the same mooo, supplemented
by a most promising prospect in sew
eral of the southern states. New Eng
land is a trifie conservative, though
no mournful sound comes from that
section. Throughout the middle west,
with the exceptions noted, tne farm
ers are in high spirits, the manufactur-
ing interests are prosperous, and ev-
erywhere is confidence in national al
fairs. On the whole, the outlook Is
good. Stocks, notably those held by
southern pine and hardwood pro0uc-
ers, are below the average. In only
one-the whole-pine section OF the
north--was there any considerable
accumulation, and winter sales have
absorbed a large amount of this sur
plus. Consumers, as rule, limited
their purchases last year, buying for
immediate requirements only and
not. as is generally the case, system
atically adding to their stock. The
prospects for building are excellent.
The price level during 1905 will be
higher than that of 1904, and this inn
provement should enable those sec
tons where operations were not con-
Quoted satisfactorily last year to re-
trieve their fortunes and bring about
a better state of affairs. -Bradstreet's.

YACHT CANAL FROM
NlIAMI TO KEY WEST
WORK TO BEGIN ON INSIDE WA
TER WAY VERY SOON.

Of great Importance to the small
craft which ply between Key West
and Miami is the announcement thai
work on the route inside the keys viii
begin shortly and a channel five feet
deep will be dredged. Except in a
rev places there is more water than
this already, and the work of dredg
ing the channel will take but a short
time.
The route will be of special interes;
to the owners of households, because
it will furnish them with a route as
smooth as a river, with scenery un
surpassed anywhere in the world.
The waters are teeming with fish
the tourist can cast anchor any
where and find all the sport in this
line right at hand.
But from a commercial standpoint
the channel will be of inestimable val
lie. 1t will shorten the route to MIA
mi, and make the trip absolutely safe
in any kind of weather.
The East Coast Company, which is
doing the work, does not know now
long 1t will take, but il is confident
that the channel will be ready for
navigation before the numerous pleas.
ure crafts which rendezvous in these
waters come down next season.

EAST COAST STILL POPULAR
With Tourists and Everything lndi-
Gates That They Will Remain
Longer Than Usual.
(Daytonia Gazette-News. }


As an indication of the great popu.
larity of the East Coast Is the fact
that all hotels from st. Augustine TO
Miami are crowded with tourists and
are likely to remain so for some time
to come.
In past seasons the exodus north
has been well under way by the mid
die of March, but this year there is
no indication at this time that the
people are contemplating a homeward
movement. OF course the travel
northward is beginning to pick up, but
this is more than Offset by the crowds
still pouring into the state on every
train.
The present season has unquestion-
ably been the best in the history of
the state and it is only reasonable to
suppose that it will last longer this
year than formerly.
The Daily News, with many other
Florida papers, has conteneded that
the tourists leave the state too early
in the spring for their own comfort
and enjoyment, and it is not out of
place to again state to the visitors
who are now here that March and
April are the banner months in Flor
ida, climatically and otherwise, and
that they make mistake by not re-
naming longer in the state.

TRIBUTE PAID
TO CONGRESS
BY CONFEDERATE VETERANS
FOR PASSING BATTLE FLAG
MEASURE.

The following has been issued:
Hdqrs. United Confederate Veterans
New Orleans, La, Mar. /, 1905.
General Order No. rs.
/. The General commanding feels
that he would be derelict in his duty
to his old comrades who nave honor
| ed him in making him COMMANDMENTS
Chief of this great federation did he
not give expression to the feeling of
satisfaction that fills the heart of
every Confederate veteran in contem-
| plating the heartiness and Snanimity
with which the National Legislature
passed the bill restoring the Confed-
crate battle flags to the several states,
and the readiness with which the
measure was approved by the Presi.
dent. This action is but a fresh evil
dence that there are now in our grand
country no sectional lines-no South,
no North, East or West; but that we
are all Americans, devoted to one COM
mon country.
2. The General commanding takes
occasion, in view Of this era Of good
feeling shown by the Congress of the
United States and the President, to
urge upon all parties, North and
South, who have colors in their pos
session, to return them at once to the
State Capitols. In such repositories
these highly-prized relics can be pro-
perly cared for; and they should all
be gathered there at the earliest mo-
ment He INDUCES the hope that
this wish may be complied with, and
that private parties may manifest as
much brotherly feeling as the nation
al authorities.
3. The General commanding is sat-
isfied that the display in the various
State Capitols of these precious heir
looms, which represent the highest
devotion, the greatest selfsacrifice,
the most persistent courage witnessed
in modern warfare, will do a great
deal to stimulate the patriotism of the
rising generation. These evidences
of bravery on the part of their fathers
cannot but add to the pride that our
children feel in the heroic and daring
exploits of their ancestry, and is the
surest way to encourage and magnify
that feeling of love Of country and
willingness to die for her sake that
should be fostered at all times by the
state.
4. The Commanding General de-
sires that some official acknowledg-
ment should be made to Hon. John
Lamb Cnimself a Confederate soldier)
who introduced the measure in Con-
gress, to the Senate and House of
Representatives who passed it with
out a dissenting voice, and to the
President, who Immediately approved
it; and he urges camps everywhere to
at once get together and formulate
resolutions expressive of their in
dorsement.

cHAs. n. BLISS, A CANDIDATE
FOR MAYOR.

Chas. H. Bliss, the municipal owner
ship advocate whose utterances Oh
munScipal ownership have attracted
so much attention, announces to-day
that he viii be a candidate for mayor,
subject to the action Of the White
primary Of April 4, next.
Mr. Bliss needs no introduction to
= the Pensacola public, for he not only
has an extended personal acquaint-
ance, but his views on public matters
are probably better known than those
Of any other man in the city.
He has made a particular study OF
city government, as exemplifed in
cities Of all sizes-a over the United
States, and there are probably few
men In. the entire country whose re-
search in this respect has been more
extended or whose knowledge of the
various problems of municipal life is
more complete.
Mr.. Bliss enjoys the personal conf
dence of all who know MIN. He has
brains, progressive ideas, and a back
bone Of sufficient strength to carry
those ideas into effect.
It is safe to say that from now on,
the municipal campaign will take on
considerable life, and one of the liveli-
est candidates in it will be the gentle
man who makes his announcement
