CENSUS FIGURES
OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO DE
SOTO COUNTY FOLKS.

The Census for Florida as taken
last summer is at last published
and in the hands of the people.
1t is an interesting document and
valuable as well. From it we
learn that the total white popula-
ton of Florida in 1905 was 314, 685
scarcely any greater than that of
the city of San Francisco alone.
The state has 1870 negro in
habitants, bringing the combined
population of Florida up to $50, $40.
Three counties, ~Dade, Escambia
and Orange are not included in
this estimate, the returns from
those counties not yet being in.
DeSoto has the smallest proportion
of colored people of any county in
the state. The Census gives us
1887 whites and ,62S negro in
habitants. Arcadia has doubled
her population in the last five
years. Most other towns and cities
show all increase altho in the case
Of Bellview it is only an increase
Of three. The state as whole
shows an increase of nearly 100, 600
in the last FIVE years.

The 0OvernOr's Plan.

Governor Broward is taking the
right course to induce the people
to take an interest in the drainage
proposition.
1t is a great question, and the
ordinary citizen does not care to
express himself in regard to it
without more information on the
subject than he now possesses.
What he wants is accurate In
formation, and the governor is in a
position to give it, having studied
il with the greatest care.
Governor Broward takes the
position that this whole matter
belongs to the people; it is their
land and their business and that
all he is required to do is to give
them all the information obtainable
and then let them do with the
matter as they may determine to
be best for the interests of the
whole people Of the state.

MEANEST GRAFT ON RECORD.

The meanest graft on record was
worked, not long ago, by Buffalo poll
ticians and officehOlders. 1t is known
to fame as the Buffalo graveyard
scandal" The officials of Erie county
engineered the purchase of an old
cemetery, the land to be used as the
site for an armory. One of the con-
tracts provided for the removal of the
bodies the contractor to receive SIS

another cemetery. In numerous cases
the remains of one body We're so di-
vided as to provide material for sew
eral reinterments. and through this
extraordinary form of swindling, the
county suffered loss of 100000. One
man has already been convicted of
grand larceny and indictments have
been found for several others. 1t was
particularly repugnant and offensive
form of rascality, and Buffalo hopes to
see a number of it's statesmen in JAIL

Some people appear to have gotten
into a state of mind about it. They
take it that the president is bidding
for another term upon a new issue or
they complain that he is bringing for
ward too many issues. The probabili-
les are that the president had no
bought of bringing forward an issue
It all AS a political economist he was
moved to remark that it might become
necessary at some time to limit the
yrowth of fortunes in this country and
he way to do it, on the surface at
east, appeared to be to put federal
tax upon them The president was
careful to say that he was not work.
ing out a practical scheme for doing
anything of the kind. He was merely
advancing an idea which might or
might not be worked out in the future.
Nobody who has watched the recent
trend of money distribution in this
country is oblivious of the fact that
it tends to concentrate in few hands
and some people have become alarmed
by the outlook On the other hand
it is quite apparent that the largest
private fortunes are insignificant in
with the vast bulk OF ma
tional wealth. The Standard Oil COM
bination controls perhaps a billion dol
lars This looks large, but there are
S12. 900 ,OO00 900 invested in railroads
alone The values of either the farms
or the forests would make the Stand
ard Oil accumulations look small.
Conservative men find no sign of
present danger in the piling up of for
tunes. But wise men look to the fu-
ture and there is one fact which is Of
significance which cannot
be overlooked. That is that great for
tunes are no longer distributed directly
to natural heirs as they once were. On
the contrary, the system of putting the
millions in trust for a long term Of
years has been adopted. This was
what happened to the Field fortune
1t is probably what will be done with
the John D. Rockefelled holdings when
he dies The tendency of money to
re-distribute itself is thus stayed.
Whether this is good thing for pos
terity is a question. The conservative
man would say it was better that these
millions should be tied together and
continue to earn than that they should
be distributed to heirs who would
waste the most of them. The president
has raised the question as to what
is best for the country. He is not in
terested in the accumulation of i'm
mense wealth, nor is he interested
against it. But he is, as a public man
of large patriotism and unexampled
courage, interested in seeking and de-
claring the policy which will be best
for the people all the time.

ACCUSING PACKERS.
Frauds Causing Loss Of Millions Ar,
Charged to Two Trusts.

SUdT8GO 20 Two Trusts
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 26.-The Chi
cago Tribune says:
Railroad officials openly charge tina,
the big packing corporations for years
have been cheating the railroads by
misstating the character of the goods
they were shipping and by shipping
heavier packages than the bills of lad
ing called for.
They assert that the Glucose COM
pany also has taken advantage of them,
thereby reducing it's freight bills by
thousands of dollars every year, and
that other big shippers in the east are
doing things that have helped dimin-
ish the revenues which the railroads
ought to have received.
1t has been estimated by the rail-
roads that the packers alone beat the
eastern roads out of $55O,OOO a year
What they owe all the roads out of
Chicago is problematical, but is esti-
mated at 100000.
Threaten Exposure.
The railway men say they have
known all these things for years, and
in a way have demonstrated with the
packers and other companies which
were cheating them, but within the
last few weeks they have made a de-
termined effort to bring about great
reform, and they intimate strongly that
unless the shippers make restitution
there will be a grand expose before
the interstate commerce commission.
already that there is little chance of
an investigation by the commission be-
alton with the railroad companies
Charges were made against them by
shippers, and they were bounded until
they were obliged to obey the law much
more strictly than ever before in their
history. and now they are bound to
show that there are other offenders.
The interstate commerce commission
will be in Chicago within the next
few weeks, and it is being predicted in
railroad circles that it's visit will re-
suit in one of the biggest upheavals
and sensational exposes that this coun-
try has seen in recent years.

THE SUPREME COURT ON
DIVORCE.

The Dakota divorce industry has re-
ceived a stunning blow from which it
cannot recover in the decision handed
down by the supreme court last week.
1t is another of those five to four
opinions in which the minority strenu-
ously dissents from the court.
The parties to the action on which
the decision is based were married in
1868. In 1881 the husband obtained
a divorce in Connecticut and married
again. Later the first wife instituted
proceedings in a New York court to
have the second marriage declared il
legal and herself the true and law
full wife. This the New York court
granted.
The federal question invilved was
whether the constitution of the United
States had been violated in the fact
that full faith and credit to the judicial
proceedings of Connecticut had not
been accorded in New York. Justice
White who gave the majority opinion,
declared the question to be whether
to enforce in another jurisdiction the
Connecticut decree would not be to
enforce in one state a personal judg
ment rendered in another state against
a defendant over whom the court of
the state rendering the judgment had
not acquired jurisdiction, and added
that if there was no jurisdiction Of the
subject matter or of the defendant the
courts of another state are not re-
quired to enforce such decree.
Justice Brown, in his dissenting
opinion. said that in making this de-
cision the court was taking back
ward step in American jurisprudence
and had virtually returned to the old
doctrine of comfy, which the full faith
and credit clause of the constitution
was expected to supersede. Comfy is
less than full faith and credit since
it implies only a polite respect which
may be given or withheld, for the de-
crees of the courts of one state in
those of another.
There is nothing in the decision
which prevents the state courts from
extending TO one another as full faith
and credit as they like. but the prac-
teal effect of the decision is that
people who have property and chill
dren will not take the risks Of
divorce in one state being overthrown
in another on account of the lack of
jurisdiction over both parties This is
where the divorce colony goes out of
business. A safe legal separation will
have necessarily to be the decree of
a court having jurisdiction over both
parties. How this will work out where
the husband or wife disappears to
what jurisdiction no one knows, per-
haps the lawyers can tell.
Whatever other effect the supreme
courts decision may have. it comes as
healthful tonic at a time when the
prevalence of divorce and the ease
with which it is obtained have become
a national scandal. 1t will give an i'm
petus to the discussion of practical
means of minimizing an evil which the
courts have too complacently tolerat-
ed.

Pretty Italian Girl Deported Mourning
Lovers Murder by Vendetta.

NEW YORK, April 26-On her way
back to Italy today, a pretty 18-year-
old Neapolitan girl is sobbing out her
grief on the Florio liner La Goria
Stopped on the Threshold of the land
of liberty, she was turned back and
saw her affianced husband assassinated
by feudists who had tracked him for
two years. Friendless, she is being de-
ported, while the body Of her lover
lies in the morgue at the Long Island
college hospital
In the story of the young Italian lass
was today revealed the secret of the
mysterious assassination of young
Italian in Erie basin early Saturday
morning. The man was Enrici Gillet-
to. and he had been followed through
two countries and killed at moment
when he was trying to smuggle his
sweetheart, Angelina Farinelli, into
this country.
Enrici and Angelina were lovers in
Naples. But against Gilletto's family
a relentless vendetta was waged by a
stilletto-wielding organization.
"FataI Three" Interview.
A little over a week ago Gillette
slipped quietly into New York 1t is
not known where he came from. But
he was to meet the ship from Naples
that was bringing his Angelina to him.
There came the first of the fatal
three" untowad events that ended in
death. The girl was stopped by the sur
geon of the marine hospital, who dis
covered that she had a well-developed
case of trachoma.
The girl was ordered deported, Gill
letto was heart broken at first, but a
daring plan suggested itself. He
plotted to have Enrici get aboard the
ship and stow away in a dark corner,
where the girl could slip him enough
food to keep him alive on. Getting
the girl ashore was impossible as she
was closely watched.
The plan worked, and the Lazio
