The fever situation at Pensacola has
vastly improved since the doubters and
knockers and other obstreperous and
pestiferous elements of it's population
have been silenced by the gravity of the
conditions and the force Of public opin-
ion. All Florida stands amazed and ad-
miring at the spectacle of the faithful
and devoted service of Health Officer
Porter and his associates and lieuten-
ants. against the shameful odds Of op-
and il is with a sense Of relief and
thankfulness that evidences are now
manifested of a return to reason on the
part of the obstructionists.

To the Editor,

AZ Stte EfltNoE8
A considerable wave of indignation il
passing over our beloved Leon county,
caused BY our county school authorities
In falling to appoint as teachers some
Of our competent citizens who held first
and second grade certificates, and some
Of whom have had many years of sue
cossful experielee in teaching the chill
dren Of our city and county, and who
have given such unbOunded satisfaction
to the parents md the public; but, in
stead, the school authorities have
thought proper to ill these places with
strangers from distant States-stran-
gers not known by anyone here, and
who were advertising Tor employment,
and of whoee qualifications our school
authorities knew nothing, and who,
upon examination, could only obtain
third grade certificates.
AS good luck would have it, the ladies
thus brought here turned out to be very
worthy, and with graces becoming the
best society. They are in no way to
blame, as they were requested to come
to I'LL vacancies, not knowing why these
vacancies existed. We wish them all
success and all the happiness attainable
But the point is, Why did not our
echOOL Q8acf0tS consider the fact that sUe
haze here as fsss and as capable teach
eTs, with al the graces, and many with
much more experience in teaching sue
cessfully; those whom we know; who
hold higher grade Of certificate; whose
families pay taxes TO help support the
government and these Verv schools;
whose families have been paying taxes
for 10, these many years, and are fully
identified with the best interests Of our
county?
How did our school authorities COM
NIT such an errOr7 Did they not know
that such action was not the wish of
our Taxpayers and other citizens, who
are also kInsmen Of these Leon county
teachers who have prepared themselves
by many years Of study and many hun
dred dollars Of expense in attending
summer SCHOOLS out Of the State in
order that they may keep themselves
up to date in their methods of teaching
and disciplineG
Nowhere can there be found more
competent and worthy set of teachers
for our own children than we have right
here among us, and, being all this, and
our own kin6peOple, we want them to
fill the teachers places in our own
county; ones we are supporting by the
sweat Of cur brows.
e We must have ga Say" in such mat
tiers Il Is cur right and our duty to
speak up for our own people; and even
IL there had been a small difference in
capacity against our own teachers, we
had rather our own be given the places.
Moreover, it is whispered that $50
was taken from our public school treas
ury and sent tO each Of these strangers
in distant States as a present to help
them pay their travelling expenses to
this place. Is this giving away of our
county school funds lawful? And il it
is lawful, is it right on other lines?

Another question affecting public in
terests has been preached by the late
rulings" Of the President. II the head
of department 'goes wrong" what is
the duty of a subordinate? II he says
nothing is he not liable to suspicion Of
hiding the crime? II disclosures adj
dressed TO headquarters elicit no re-
spouse, Is he justified in supposing they
have been intercepted or that headquar-
tiers Is playing mum also7 Under such
circumstances, should ne take the pub
lie into his confidence? The President
says such publicity is guilt. Is not the
public the ultimate head TO which all
appeals must finally go? IL not entire
publicity the best security against dis
honesty There will soon be q call for
Judgment on this point. FINEST Union

The r. J. & B. F. Camp Lumber
Company have closed a deal with
the Saxon Barnes Land and Naval
Stores Company for some thirty odd
thousand acres of their fine timber lands
in Liberty county, including large saw
mill at Carrabelle. This deal was put
through by the enterprising real estate
agent, Mr. j. J. Whispell, Of this city,
the consideration running up into big
figures. This is a portion OF the large
purchase by the Saxon-Barnes Land and
Naval Stores Company of about two
years ago, which they have been hold
ing for the great advance in prices
They are now placing the balance Of
their lands on the markets.

II the conclusions Of the Tallahassee
True Democrat are correct, graft has
entered into nearly all the departments
Of the State government, and It's bane-
ful influence has crept into many Of the
counties OF the State. -Ocala Banner.
The Banner should not have given the
impression that this paper is or has been
accusing the present State government,
as such, of graft" We have accused
the jennings government, and have not
done with it yet. Not since the carpet
bag period have so many crooked trans
actions been known as during the time
jennings was governor. Wedo not be-
lieve that all Of his governmental asso-
cistes participated in it, or even knew
of it. But we believe that the graft"
period ended with the close of the Jen-
nings administration in the case
of the State printer-"and associates. "

Commenting upon the recent award
Of a contract for State printing to the
E. o. Painter Co., Of DeLand, the Jack
sonville Metropolis says:
This insures decent work, and It will
probably be in striking contrast to some
Of the other rotten work turned out for
the State of Florida in the past, and
which the people have had to pay dearly
for That the State Of Florida has been
forced 20 accept some Of the printing
done for the State is nothing less than
disgraceful, and would give the impress
sion to outsiders that the work was
turned out by a backwoods job Office,
whose proprietor was careless, ignorant
and incompetent. This sort Of thing
has been severely criticised throughout
the State, and the citizens generally be-
lieve that Mr.. Painter will show up ex-
cellent work. Had the st. Augustine
Record, the Florida Index or the True
Democrat succeeded in securing the con-
tract they would doubtless have turned
out excellent work also, because they
have a reputation for doing excellent
service, and their publications show care
and are up to date, geographically.

RANAwAYFROM PHILADELPHIA

New York, March 22.-Andrew
Griscom, who disappeared several weess
ago and was supposed to be in Europe.
committed suicide on March 10 by
jumping overheard at sea from the
steamer Minnetonka. Griscom sailed
on the Minnetonka from London for
this city. When he jumped overheard
the steamer was stopped and boat
was lowered. but he could not be found.
II is supposed that he was temporarily
unbalanced mentally. Griscom was a
member of a well-known Philadelphia
family.
When Griscom disappeared from
Philadelphia it was reported that he
had eloped with young woman and
that both of them had gone to Europe.
Griscom's mother, however, denied II.
News of his suicide was made public
when the Minnetonka reached this
port

Griscom was unaccompanied, the

been unoccupied. II was said by some
OF the passengers that when he went

chung to Il until he reached the log
towing astern, where his hands were
cut by the blades of the log before he
released his hold.
William M. Griscom. the young mans

the pier to await the arrival of the
Minnetonka. When Superintendent

rival he asked for Mr.. Griscom to go
around to the Offices of the Mercantile
Marine company. where an official
broke to him the news of his sons
death.
1t was learned that in the portman-
teau left in Griscom's room were found
. cheap suit of clothes, two suits OF
cheap underwear, a half dozen collars
and pair of black socks. In thte coat
was found a cattleman's ticket for the
steamship Mesaba, which sailed from
this port on February IL. II is pre-
sumed that Griscom went aboard in
that manner. Two cablegrams to him
from his father were also found, which
told him that a London banking house
would supply him with credit and give
him his passage, and for him to apply
to them.
Young Andrew Griscom, who was %
