VIOLATORS OF Law.


VIOLATORS OF Law.
1t ista common thing to see empty
bottles and TASKS lying around on, the
streets nowadays, bearing bright, new
labels, showing that blind Tiger" men
are nightly pushing their unlawful bus
mess, and, as the skeletons are mostly
seen early in the morning, that they are
working as most evil-doers do-in the
dark hours of the night. Who is re-
sponsible for this state Of affairs? Is it
not reasonable to expect that our city
and county officials shall be little more
vigilant, and put forth enough effort in
an attempt 10 capture these vile violat-
ors of law, or to brighten them away?
Again, are not patrons of these lowest
of law-breakers also encouraging law
breaking by patronizing them. Watt h
every one whom you see under the in
hueace of liquor, and you can trail down
and bring to justice at least some of
them.
We are told that the big Boss King
Bee" Of the Capital, pays his type
writer 81 200 per annum How manJ
busiess people in Florida pay their lady
typewriters any such salary for few
hours work?

Among the suggestions handed to us
this week is that lit will spoil good fish
ermen to drain some of the Internal
Improvement lands which have been
sold so cheap jim recent years, and that
i. would be better to keep the balance
for a while and leave the poor man this
additional chance of a livelihood in
Florida little while longer.

1T is of course gratifying to the
grafters to know there is a billion and
a quarter in the United States treasury
which they can scheme for" OF course
it is, and is it not also fact that
"grafters" are scheming for the few
thousands that remain in the treasury
of this State, and may be in some of
the county treasures. Those grafters
are scheming everywhere.
President McCallis another example of
the bad habit of talking too much. When
he wanted to justify his contribution of
$3.50, 900 of his policy-holders money to
the republican campaign fund he said
the democratic solicitors for funds had
made his life weary chasing him for
money. When called upon to name one
single democrat who had pressed him
for funds, he was unable to respond. 1t
would probably be impertinent to call
the president OF the New York Lite a
ler, but that inference will be drawn
by a disrespectful public. However, q
man who pretends to be democrat and
who votes and gives up $50, 600 of trust
funds belonging to others in aid of the
republican ticket, won't be hurt any by
having it proved and published that he
is a falsifer. - Pensacola Journal.

Acceptance Of campaign contributions
from life insurance companies says
dispatch from Washington of the 26th,
may deprive Postmaster General Cor
telyou of the chance Of succeeding to
the Secretaryship Of the Treasury when
Secretary Shaw retires next February.
President Roosevelt's anger over the
matter necessarily makes Cortelyou one
Of the objects Of his Indignation, and it
is now confidently asserted that the lat
ter will receive no promotion, but, on
the other hand, may be forced to leave
the Cabinet Cortelyou has a genius for
secrecy, and it has become obvious that
Es Chairman Of the National Committee
he refrained from taking even the Pres
ident into his confidence respecting all
matters concerning the campaign man
agement.
Mrs. A. A. Murphree and children
have returned home, after very pleas
ant several weeks visit at Brevard,
South Carolina.
