Soon after the reorganization Of the
State Democratic Executive Committee
last summer, a committee was ap-
pointed by Chairman Fletcher to con-
slider and present amendments to the
primary election law, many Of which
were then regarded a. being vitality
necessary TO the future we'll being of
the party. The committee was as fol-
lows: Charles d. Tutsno Of Jasper, W..
w. Farmer of Ydlee, and d. u. Fletcher
Of Jacksonville, from the Second Con-
gressional District; J. NJ. Young 81 In
verness, William Hooker Of Ocala and
L. E. Dozier Of Leesburg, from the
First Congressional District; Charles
E. Davis Of Madison, E. A. Crawford
Of Midway, w. T. Hendry Of Perry,
from the Third Congressional District.
Chairman Fletcher has now called a
special meeting Of the State committee
for the 28rd inst, at Jacksonville, for
the purpose Of hearing and considering
the report Of the above named commit
tee: This is q very important matter,
and every member OF the State COM
mittee should t1ke care % attend the
meeting. The primary law urgently
requires modification In many respectS,
and now 10 the time for those who
have been entrusted with the duty 20
act, and act wisely.

The Gainesville BOARD of Trade, fol-
lowing the lead of the Jacksonville pro-
moters of the scheme, recently adopted
a resolution favoring the establishment
Of "a State bureau Of immigration, a
separate and distinct institution, con-
Quoted on practical business lines, with
location at some central point, where
Florida homeseekers and investors may
obtain information of an official nature
relative to the State, its pleasures and
health resorts, transportation facilities,
industrial opportunities, health and other
statistics, lands and general resources"
and urging the Legislature to make an
appropriation therefor. This resolution
opens up the whole project. The appro-
priation of the peoples money to create
a local institution like the one so unwit-
tingly described in the resolution is one
of the last things the Legislature will
be likely to do.

Jacksonville push and enterprise chal-
lenge the admiration of the entire pop
ulation of the State, and the rapidity
and style in which the destroyed city
has been rebuilt constitutes a veritable
marvel of wonderful activity. But a
part of that city's tremendous success
has depended upon the assurance with
which its people are in the habit of
claiming 1.-THE earth and the fullness
thereof" They wanted the State Cap
ital, and when the people Of the State
denied their demands, they endeavored
to secure the location of the Railroad
Commission headquarters. They now
seek to establish" the State bureau
of immigration at Jacksonville; and
they began agitation for "State fair, -

people commenced making arrange

to "a great exposition" The whole

The recently discovered instance Of a

African who had been brought TO Amer

The death, on the 9Th inst, of Senator
VIM. B, Bate, Of Tennessee, caused
by exposure during the Inauguration
ceremonies, revives the much discussed
proposition for a change in the date Of
Of that important event to a season
more propltious and less dangerous to
the participants, officials and others.
Florida long ago, and wisely, changed
the date Of the meetings of the Legis-
lature because Of the probability Of in
clement weather in January, and 1t
would seem that such a change could
almost as easily be made in the date of
the Inauguration, even II it does re-
quire an amendment to the Constitu-
ton.

Albert WilliamsOn's Jacksonville
Floridian takes the following view of
the new lease Of the State convicts to
Messrs. c. H. Barnes & Co.: among
the unsuccessful bidders for these
convicts we find several of the warm
est political and personal friends
of the Governor, and still further we
find the longest pole getting the per-
simmOn." The contract was awarded
to the highest and best bidder, as the
interests of the State of Florida may
appear, and to the honor and cleanli-
ress of the administration that awarded
II. II this means anything, It means
that there was no surreptitious open
ing of sealed bids, nor ''tips" slyly
winked at or dropped to those expect
ing to do some of the board a favor in
the future. We say that this lease
and its history Rugurs n better and
brighter dream for the Florida father
or mother who may picture their bare

court of Connecticut, in his effort to
realize upon the alleged bequest of

regarded as an evidence that the would

serve ~ an indication Of Republican
sentiment on the Swayne case: "By la
verdict as a court Of impeachment the
United States Senate gives Judge
Swayne a bill Of health a. clean as the
United States Senate can give. Several
members Of the tribunal that acquitted
him have been indicted for far worse
than the worst charged against the

ciOn that perhaps many Of Judge
Swayne's judges ought themselves To
be degraded and banished from public

little weight with the country. II Is az

Mr.. George w. Willis, Of WIIlistOn
Levy county, sends to the Times UniOI
the draft Of = bin which he hopes L
have introduced at the approaching ses.
sion Of the Legislature. The bin pro.
Vides that from and after the passage
Of this Get II shall be unlawful for ex.
press companies, railroad companies OF
other public carriers or companies, per-
son or persons operating drays, hacks,
or other vehicles for transport TO carry
SpirituOus, vinOuS or malt liquors into
any county or counties in this State
which have voted dry under Article
10 Of the Constitution Of the State of
Florida, from any other county or eoun-
ties in this State which have not 90
voted. Another section fixes a penalty
of 81, 900, or imprisonment in the county
jail for twelve months, or both, 1T the
discretion Of the court, for each viola
ton of the law.
The True Democrat heartily wishes
that such a law could be enacted and en-
forced. Indeed, It would be glad to see
the manufacture Of intoxicating liquors,
intended to be used as a beverage, abb
Solutely prohibited throughout the land.
But 1t feels impelled to caution the adj
vOcates Of temperance against the dan
ger Of going to extremes.
The prohibition against the public sale
Of intoxicating drinks under existing
laws is effected solely by the will and
the votes of the people themselves.
Thus far, more than thirty of the forty
five counties Of the State have gone
dry" The simple issue of abolishing
the open saloon has been decided in
those counties in the affirmative by the
registered voters thereof. IP many of
them the matter Is still in it's expert
mental stage. Under the law a re-
newal Of the controversy every two
years Is possible, and, in fact, almost
inevitable. Might not any attempt to
create and enforce new and additional
restrictions result disastrOusly to the
temperance cause in such future con-
tests?
Let us adopt for a motto: Festina
lente. Let US make haste slowly Let
US be satisfied, for a time, with the
adjustment of the open saloon, and ap-
ply our energies to the still waiting
work of holding on to the dry" coun-
ties and causing the ''wet" counties to
"go dry" II we can. When that is ac-
complished, the time may come for a
law, only much more 1ar-reaching
law fOrbidding the importation of liquors
into the State.

TELEPHONES CAPITAL.
New York and New Jersey Company
Authorizes an Increase.

Stockholders of the New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company vot-
ed yesterday at a special meeting in
the telephone building, 81 Willough-
by street. Brooklyn, to increase the
capital stock of the company from
$4,000, 900 to $4,000, 600. Imme-
diately thereafter a certificate of the
increase was filed at the county
clerks Office, Brooklyn.
AT the Office of the president of the
New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company it was explained yesterday
shat the $4,000, 600 new capital
would not be issued at once. Here
tofore the company has frequently
gone to its stockholders asking for
additional capital to take care of the
rapidly increasing business, and
their approval was granted. 1T was
decided, however, to authorize a
large issue of capital. which can be
made available from time to time as
the necessities require. There is no
important development foreshadow-
ed by the capital increase other than
extension of the company's bust
ness
