RAILROAD RATES.

This question is largely the topic OF
discussion throughout the nation, and
Il Is a vital question from which arise
many issues that are now being dis
cussed pro and con. The President OF
the United States has had the back
bone to say that the rates should be
regulated, and has suggested a way by
which be thinks this regulation may
be arrived at,
II is apparent that the proper mode
TO arrive &C the solution Of this ques-
ton, so vital to every other interest,
has not been, so far as our knowledge
goes, advocated. IL has boon time and
again stated that mono OF the railroads
are without ovet-capitallzation, and
here comes in the great question. We
find that Poor, in his railroad manual.
has placed the average cost OF the
building aud equipping Of The railroads

THE TARIFF LEAGUE.

AT the annual meeting Of the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League a resolu-
ton was adopted demanding that the
tariff be let alone until such time as
it shall have been clearly demonstra-
ted hg general experience and practi-
cal knowledge that changes in the
schedules will be productive Of de-
gree Of benefit to the whole country
that shall outweigh the disadvantages
and the injuries resulting from tariff
revision" In other words until the
priests. OF high protection are willing
to admit that the condition Of the
country requires revision, no revision
must be attempted, Demonstrating
by general experience and practical
knowledge the harmfulness Of the
present schedules will be quite impos-
sible in the case OF the fostered indus

REoLAIMINo TAE EVERGLADES

A special dispatch from Tallahassee
to The Jacksonville Metropolis, dated
January p. says:
1T lie announced here this morning
that Governor Napoleon B. Broward
has begun the endeavor to fulfill his
ante-election promises regarding the
retaining Of the Everglades Of Flor
ida. Governor Broward, in his cam
paign speeches and in his literature,
declared that the Legislature had no
right to grant these lands TO the rail-
roads. He said that Congress had
given these lands to the State, and
that the funds derived from any part
Of them we're to be used in draining
and retaining them.
1.-THE Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road was granted 10000 acres for every
mile of road constructed in West Flor
ida, and the lands claimed by this COM
pany form a part Of the Everglades.
1.-THE trustees of the Internal Inn
provement Fund, of which Governor
Broward is the head, have employed
lawyers to fight the matter in the
courts, The attorneys secured are
Ex-Governor William s. Jennings, N.
P. & w. J. Bryan and Cockrell & Son,
of Jacksonville, and Hon. r. w. Will
liams of this CITY.
THE amount of these lands involved
reaches over 100000 acres and is said
by some here to be valued at about
500 100000.
The trustees OF the Internal I'M
provement Fund are: Governor n. B.
Broward, Comptroller A. O. Groom,
State Treasurer w. v. Knott, Attor-
ney-General w. H. Ellis and Commits
sioner of Agriculture McLin. Seven
suits are now pending in the United
States Court, and as the amount in
volved is SO very great much interest
will be manifested in the contest.
"Broward contends that with the
State owning these lands, Florida will
be in better fix financially than any
State in the Union. Ex-Governor Jen-
nings, who has made this a study, it is
said, was engaged at the same time
the other attorneys we're secured"

The American Federation OF Labor
is sending out circulars broadcast over
the country warning union men to stay
away from Panama unless they have a
contract before starting, branding as a
canard the statements that the work
there will be easy and the wages above
normal. On the contrary, it is de-
clared that the work will be hard and
the wages below the recognized union
scale. The Federation could and
ought to give better reason still to
deter labor from the States going to
Panama. The climate is so deadly
that abundant experience has shown
that no white laborer can work and
live in it six months at stretch. The
only laborer who can live and thrive
on the isthmus are Jamaica negroes.

WILL 1T BE A NEW GOVERN
MENT9

Russia, one Of the world powers, is
fast making history which is anything
else but a credit to her in this the
most enlightened period Of the world I;
with her great losses in the Eastern
war, taken in connection with the pub
lie upheayal at home, it would seem at
first glance at the situation that the
reign Of the autocrat is around, for IL
ia fully realized that with like eondi-
tions existing elsewhere. the downfall
of this government would naturally
follow. However, the conditions in
Russia are so different from any other
nation that il is more than probable
that this powerful nation will for a
long time maintain its present status
The reason for this conclusion is man
ifest from the fact that while the gov
ernmental departments, as we are in
formed, are corrupt from top to bot
tom, this very condition is the cohesive
power that will be the means OF giving
the government the power by which
the uprising OF the common people
will be suppressed, and not only this,
but the opportunity will be afforded
the powers that be to inaugurate a
more drastic and cruel system Of gov
eminent; and besides this, It is adj
mitted that there is the most complete
and we'll organized system OF police
and detective forces in the world,
We notice that in many OF the lead
ing exchanges the condition of affairs
in Russia are said to be similar to those
existing In France at the time Of the
French revolution. Such we do not
think is true, for while the French
laborers were oppressed and down
trodden they had never been slaves. as
is the case with the Russian Serf, who
has only at a recent date been liberia
ted from serfdom. And again, while
the Russian no longer belongs to the
nobleman as serf, he has been at all
times subject to the drastic and OPP
pressiye laws Of the autoeratics, hence
il is apparent that the Emperor Of
Russia is not man OF any force OF
character, and has totally failed in
this crisis to in any way comprehend
the trend OF the times, but that
he is content to enjoy his present
prestige as Emperor, and that his peo-
pie shall be, so far as he is concerned,
still oppressed and that he will need
the whole power Of his army and the
vast horde OF officials In the suppress
sion OF the present uprising, We want
no further evidence OF his intention
than the cruel and uncalled for
slaughter OF innocent people in the
capital Of the nation who peaceably
and without arms and violence simply
asked TO be aided in their efforts Gin a
nutshell) to be allowed TO enjoy the
benefits OF their own labor.
With the existing conditions in Rus
sia there can be no new government.
