cffbufed to Public Opinion he as
serts that fully $50, 900 Americans
will cross the Atlantic this year
and the cost of their vacation in
Europe will amount to$150, 0OO,0 900.
The steamship lines, he says, will
get S37, 5OO,O0 and Europe will
get $112, 100000. These figures,
it appears, started quite a train of
thought in the mind of the Stats
tician, for he says:
eff this $3.50, 900, 900 was kept at
home it would pay the entire ex-
penses of Greater New York for a
twelve month and leave hand
some surplus remaining. 1t would
purchase all the seats ON the New
York Stock Exchange at the high
est price at which seat has ever
sold, and leave a balance almost
sufficient to move the wheat crops
of the nation from farm to market.
1t would be more than sufficient to
defray the pension list OF the
United States government for one
entire year"
Commenting on this statement,
the New Orleans States takes issue
with the authority quoted.
The States does not see any rea
son why the Americans who are
able to travel abroad should want
to pay the expenses of the munich
pal government of New York fol
twelve months or any other length
of time, nor is there any reason
why they should desire to pur
4 chase all the seats in the New York
Stock Exchange, or to move the
wheat crop of the country when
perhaps, they are not in the least
interested in the production Of
wheat and are intelligent enough
to know that the business of NOV
ing the crop can very well be left
to the farmers and the railroads.
Nor is there any reason why they
should regard the prospect of pay
ing the pension debt for the yeal
sufficiently enticing to cause then
to abandon the pleasures of a toul
through Europe.
1t strikes us that the economical
suggestions made by thestatisticial
are exceedingly foolish, although
they are made Ostensibly for thu
purpose Of showing how the money
spent abroad would enrich tn,
| United States to the extent of hun
dreds of millions. An American
citizen has right to spend hi
money in Europe or anywhere els
he desires, and it is strictly hi
own business. We do not believ,
that this country suffers any los
because of the money spent abroad
by our tourists.
On the contrary, it is enriched
by the education and experience
which Americans obtain in observ
| ing the social and industrial life O.
the European nations.

On August frgt; when q certified
check" was required, Supreme Court
report printing was awarded to the
Capital Publishing Company at $50
per page. On August second, when no
certified check" was required, the
same kind Of printing was awarded to
the st. Augustine Record Company at
" cents per page. The first arrange
ment kept out competition and placed
the work in chosen hands, while the
latter, allowing real competitive bid
ding, saves TO the taxpayers Of Florida
rs cents on each page. Besides, all
printing that comes from the st. Au-
gustine house is neat and clean and will
compare favorably with the best law
work done anywhere. Again, the same
kind Of work, reprinting several vol
umes Of Supreme Court reports, was
awarded to the Painter Company, of
DeLand, last week at 10 cents a page
a saving Of so cents page-under the
system Of honest, unrestricted compe-
tition. They also have a reputation for
doing good work. That neither Of the
lower bidders will get rich at such
prices is a fact, but the price to be paid
under the Certified check" plan is ex-
orbitant. These comparisons serve to
illustrate the quality Of the friendship
for the people possessed by their serv-
ant who conceived this certified check
plan Of competition as applied to State
printing contracts.

that State a valuable service, according
to the Nashville American, in his efforts
TO raise the standard Of efficiency among
the school teachers of the State.
As a result of his instructions to
county superintendents and examina-
tons Of teachers, 100 teachers, So
called, have failed to pass the examina-
tions necessary TO secure certificates
this year. Some Of these had been pro-
Tossing to teach for years.
One East Tennesseean, who had been
a teacher" for fifteen years, was
asked to describe the aIimentary ca
nal, " and his confident reply was: 1.-THE
French tried to build. it and failed.
Now the United States has got her, and

other submitted list of twenty words
as test of his spelling, and every

ing as follows:
! have something to say about the re-
cent examination, and wish to say as
a preface that / am not teacher and
have no aspirations in that direction.
And wish to say further that have
no son or daughter, brother, sister,
uncle, aunt or cousin who is so engaged,

pointed aspirant, or by request of any

necessary for teaching school But IL
the questions used in the recent exami-
nations were intended to ascertain the
fitness Of the applicant for such posi-
tions, they missed the mark completely.
do not know the author of the uues-
tions; but do not hesitate to pronounce
them, for the greater part, unreason-
able and absurd. Very few, il any, Of
the best teachers we have could, ON the
spur of the moment, write satisfactory
answers to such questions. It is quite
doubtful, if the county superintendent
were assembled in a class and subjected
to such an examination, whether half
Of them could make the required per
cent And do not believe the State
Superintendent, himself, could answer
those questions if taken from the books
from which they were selected. And
to refuse TO grant a certificate to a
young lady who is teaching nothing but
the elementary parts of education, and
take away her school and deprive her
of the means of support, because she
cannot Immediately elucidate these alb
strusities, with which she would have
nothing to do for years, if ever, is az
unjust as it is unwise. Such action
ought to receive the unqualified con.
demnation of every fair-minded person.
If we are to maintain a system of ex-
of this character at heavy
expense and without any real advantage
TO our common schools, the best thing
to do will be to haul away the whole
thing and dump it when people have
nothing to do but to deal in conundrums.
And then let another system of exami-
nations be invented, in which common
sense shall have a place. That this
quality was greatly deficient in the
questions recently used is too obvious
to need any argument.

mains with me will / ever again vote

That Veto.

Last week the Crescent published the
bill passed by the last legislature re-
quiring the Trustees of the Internal I'm
provement Fund to pay into the State
Treasury all money now in their possess
sion, or that may hereafter come into
their possession for the said improve
ment Fund We also published Governor
Broward's veto.
The Office of State Treasurer was es-
tablished for the care and custody of the
States finances; it was created that all
money paid into the State government
might have a safe and secure guardian,
and be accounted for honestly. The
State Treasurer is under bond for the
faithful performance of that duty. Why.
then, should he not have the care and
custody of all the money belonging to
the people of the Slater
The funds which go into the Internal
Improvement Fund belong to the people
just the same as any other money, and
should be in the possession of the State
Treasurer
Why did Governor Broward withhold
his veto until after the legislature had
adjourned? The bill passed both houses
practically unanimous, and If Governor
Broward had vetoed it while that body
was in session it would have been passed
over his veto. This he knew; hence his
delay.
There was another bill passed by both
houses practically unanimous requiring
an investigation of the receipts and ex-
penditures of the Internal Improvement
Fund. Governor Broward also vetoed.
this bill after the Legislature adjourned
Why should not the affairs of this Fund
be investigated? 1t is part of the State
government. Have we in Florida piece
of machinery separate and apart from
all the other wheels, which is above and
beyond the knowledge or control of the
people7 II 30, it is time it was abol-
ished.
The Crescent is going TO publish the
other bill passed and vetoed. In fact,
we are going to try TO show to the
people some of the methods now in
vogue at Tallahassee, and which have
been going on for the past FIVE years.
II is time for the people 70 demand
that the lights be turned on.
Where is the Internal Improvement
Fund money? If il is safe and secure,
why is an investigation harmful or out
Of place, and why should not that money
be in the State Treasury?
These questions are pertinent and
timely; and are Of such a nature AT
