PRAISE FOR THE
STATE L LAWMAKERS.
Jacksonville Metropolis.

Be it said to the credit of the Flor
ida legislature, that while many bills
have been introduced and few passed,
number have been killed that de
served killing Others to escape such
fate were withdrawn. II is better to
kill bill in the legislature than in the
courts. There can be nothing gained
to the state by certain bills before the
legislature, or that were before it, be-
cause they divide our people and set
man against man. What Florida
wants are just laws. and above all q
united people. Just so long as we are
one people the state will continue TO
progress, but let one set OF. men pro-
cure legislation against another set as
an advantage, and our harmony is de
stroyed, and our great progress as a
state is gone.
The Metropolis is very glad of TIE
wisdom displayed and discretion ex-
ercised in disposing of some meas
ures before the house and senate, as
it proved that the best interests Of
the people were being well considered.
The legislature adjourns on June
3D. and those measures OF most inter
est to all the people should have pre-
eedence of consideration. 1t is not a
safe plan to wait until the eleventh
hour to attend to important business.
, Let the work progress in turning
Down Objectionable bills, Withdrawing
others ana passing of those of real
merit and worth.
Florida has had all the faetionaiism
. wanted, and much of it was started
by the passage of certain laws. The
famous. or infamous. house bill No. 4,
regulating municipal affairs in Jack
sonviIle, was an instance of distur-
hance and arraying citizen against
citizen. II is better to have no law il

THE COMING NAVAL
BATTLE IN THE FAR EAST.

If reports from the Far East are
based upon fact a naval engagement
between Admirals Rojestvensky and
Togo cannot be much longer deferred.
The battle will, in all probability. take
place near the southern extremity OF
the island of Formosa. where, is it
said, the japanese fleet has taken up
a position.
While it is generally believed thai
the Russian fleet is far superior both
in tonnage and armament, there have
been no advices by which such belief
could be substantiated, and but very
little is known of the force that Japar
will bring to bear against the Russian
feet While we have heard a great
deal of the Russians there has beer
absolutely no definite news regarding
the japanese anG, any statement as Il
the strength of their fleet is basel
upon nothing but supposition.
1t has all along been the policy o
Japan to guard her military and nava
secrets while, on the other hand, Rus
STA has been more or less bombastit
and has nSt hesitated to boast of he
superiority on both land and sea. /
is but natural, therefore. that an i'm
preston should prevail that the Rus
sian fleet is really the stronger, of tn,
two. However, as the Japanese hav,
demonstrated their resourcefulness a
well as fighting ability, it would no
be surprising if Togo attacked tn
Russians with a feet fully equal i
not superior to it-anG that II will b
superior in craftsmanship, at least
goes without saying.

SOUTHERN HOTELS
AND CONVENTIONS.
The Tradesman.

Practically every southern city OF
any prominence is aspiring to be
known as a convention city, and all
are putting forth their best efforts to
secure the holding of conventions
within their gates.
These efforts have been quite sue
oessful and number of prominent
conventions have been and are yet to
be held in the south, but the Trades
man desires to utter note of warn
ing TO those cities to the effect that
If the hotels are going to make these
gatherings an occasion for extortions
then instead of doing such places any
good they will be the source of posi-
tive harm. No one feels kindly TO
ward a city in which this kind of d
hold up has been committed upon
him, and it is certain to be pasSef
around when other conventions fol-
that city are sought. and all will know
that ii is a good place to stay away
from.
There are two cases now in point

IT'S HUMAN NATURE.

Why does money ope the door
To power and delight
While the virtues of a man
Do languish out of sight?
Why is politics a game
That rascals like to play?
Why 90 magnates in the trusts
Rob people every day?
Why do clothes and polished airs
Look on with ease and mirth
While noting the discrepancies
OF a man of honest worth?
Why is it things are not always
Exactly what they seem?
Why do the cities of the land
With willy Williams TEEN?
Why is woman said TO be
No older than she looks?
Why does an authors publisher
Tell tales about his books?
How can such matters come to pass
We note them every day?
Because we are human here below
It is our little way.

Rev. Sam Jones once said: you
can prove anything from the Bible il
you select a part here anu part
there. 1 can prove from that Good
Book by such a process that man
should hang himself before breakfast
Now watch me read: Judas went out
and hanged himself Go thou and
do likewise" What Rev. Jones said
regarding the Bible will apply with
more or less force to any other book
An instance Is the campaign book
gotten out against Mr.. Bliss which
very unfairly quotes parts OF mis- book

changes certain ~nrds. interest ir
