DIDN'T QUOTE US FULLY.

A politician is one who seeks office,
and is Indifferent as to how he gets it,
so long as he gets there. A statesman
is a man who stands for principles and
policies that are level with the best in
terests of the State and the nation. -
Tallahassee True Democrat.
A more common definition is: A pol
itician is one who is always seeking
office and getting defeated A states
man is one who runs for an Office and
gets IL. The men who support us and
our side are statesmen. Those opposing
us are grafters and politicians. So II
is seen that the viewpoint makes the
difference between a politician and n
statesman. Brooksville Argus.

Of trust, =" was the continuation of our
par. graph, which you omitted. We
agree with you, Bro. Argus, that polit-
ical trickstsrs (called statesmen) have
gotten into Office In Florida, and the
people Of Florida have reaped burden
some results from the effects Of il, but
that IL no reason some Of them should
be defeated in the coming campaigns,

those kind Of officers. a la Jennings, for
an example.
The True De nocrat was honored
Wednesday by visits from two Of old
JefTerson's best citizens. Ex-senator
Samuel Paseo and Hon. r. c. Parkhill
were both Visiting Tallahassee, where
they have hosts of warm personal
friends, and made Us a eSll, which we
appreciate. They both advanced their
subscriptions to the paper, congratu-
lated us and encouraged Us with good
wishes.

"A FLORIDA DEVELOPER"

In a communication published in the
Times-Union and copied in other papers,
"A Developer" gives very poor reasons
for draining the Glades, and if no better
can be procured, and it does not seem
there can be, the drainage board had
better call a halt. The Times Union
knocks "A Developer" down and out
as follows:
"The mosquito is now recognized as
a public enemy-an outlaw to be killed
on sight Perhaps this has moved "A
Florida Developer to insist that the
Everglades be drained because in the
work a breeding ground of the public
enemy will be wiped out. Doesn't
A Florida Developer know that mos
quitoes breed only in stagnant water or
mud? Or is he ignorant that the water
of the Everglades throughout is run
ming water, impregnated with lime and
Of crystal clarity? Or is he so far re-
moved from this region as to be ignorant
that men and beasts seek the Ever
glades in the mosquito season by way
of escape from the troubles Of the
coast? Will you think a bit, Mr.. De-
Veloper?"

HANS SPECIAL INEIRlATY.

This Is his speciality in characteristics
in all the various walks Of life, and
doubtless he can be readily identified by
the same in the great hereafter round
up, whether stunning harp or pranc-
ing in hot ashes, he is quite likely to re-
main, more or less, bundle Of contra
dictions.
But there certainly ought to be a linn
it to contradictory capers, especially
where our giants of political economy
are concerned. Why should an astute
political General, gifted with all the
necessary mental endowment to should
er his way to high authority and seat
himself in the chair of chief executive
of a mighty State, let the glib tongue
of small-fry politicians sway his judg-
ment? Allow little attomeys-at-law Of
quarter section celebrity to muddy the
waters Of his understanding.
But, strange 10 relate, just such a
specimen of legal fraternity performed
this dextrous feat by approaching the
said executive seat, loaded with direful
information, and unberthens himself Of
the narrowing details Of how a certain
district attorney is wickedly, feloniously
derclict in duty, allowing wilful trans
grcssors Of law 10 ramble unshackledin

Citizens of Leon county would like to
know why they are kept at heavy ex-
pense boarding the convicted negroes
Caldwell and Larkins in the Duval
county Jail. If Governor Broward and
his Board are satisfied they should not
be hung, the right and proper thing to
do would be to turn them loose or mod
ify their sentence. If he is not salts
fled yet, perhaps they can just as we'll
be taken care of in the Leon county
Jail. There never was time, Except
a very few hours after the cold blooded
assassination of Hon. N. w. Eppes
occurredD when they were in danger Of
being lynched in this county, and that
fact will be substantiated by most of
our citizens both white and colored, and
it was an open insult to US when the
party, who did so during the Governors
absence from the city, assumed the au-
thority for sending them off. Icons

abiding and as peaceable as those Of
any county in the State.

At Orlando in boring wells, at a depth
Of over 200 feet, cavities have been
reached and the fire department laid
hose and tried filling them with water,
but the wells took all the water that
could be poured into them. A ncw idea!
Nov for the Drainage Commissioners.
Might Il not be cheaper to invest those
internal Improvement moneys in well
boring machines, and let ali the water
run out Of the Everglades just as the
water poured into these holes at Or
