THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL
WANTS TO KNOW.

ThePensacola Journal is an IN
doubted friend, personal and politi-
cal, of Governor Broward, and while
that paper has thus far occupied,
something like an impartial and
judicial attitude toward the Ever
glades drainage issue, it has been,
nevertheless, friendly to that scheme
and disposed TO take the Governors
side of the case. For this reason ad-
ditional weight will be given to the
following thoughtful and timely edi-
torial in Sundays Journal, which
calls attention to contingency
which may make any investment by
the State of Florida in the Ever
glades drainage a very disastrous
speculation, involving heavy loss to
the taxpayers. The Journal says:
I'm the notable debate on the Ever
glades drainage question between
Governor Broward and Hon. Jno. S.
Beard heard in this city last Monday
night, il is generally conceded that
the governO- had the best of it-or
he at least carried a very large ma
jority of the crowd with him-and
that We suppose was the object of
the debate.
There is one question, however
and it is a very important one
which Governor BrOward failed to
answer. The proposition was put up
to him BY Mr.. Beard that, while the

MAN SEEKING HIS WIFE.
Florida Tragedy is Reported With

Florida Tragedy is Reported With
Townsville End to 1t.
ThOmaSville played part in sad
little domestic tragedy this week. A
resident of Madison, Fla, was in the
city looking for his wife, who had
been away froms home for three
weeks and whose nOn-return had
caused him great uneasinesS. She
had been visiting Pelham, and writ
ten him frequently until a few days
ago. Then her letters ceased, and
her worried husband wrote 20 their
friends in Pelham inquirinS if she
was still there.
The answer came that she had
been gone for several days and had
left with the intention of going home.
The husband came to ThOmasVille
knowing that she would pass through
this city on her way. He had a pic
tuTe of the woman, who was young
and unusually handsome. He in
Quired of the police Off, ers, and at
the several hotels and boarding hous-
es in the city. She had been here
only a few days ago; and was readily
recognized from the photo By a num-
Der of people. But she had SrOne on
to parts unknown before her husband
reached here and the discoI ISOLATE
man continued his sad search il 9TH
er towns.
One of the pathetic features of the
affair was the statement of the hus-
band that he supposed his wife to be
suffering from mental alteration. He
said that a few years ago she had
had mental trouble and he was then
advised by physicians and friends.
to have her placed in an asylum.
She had seemed to recover of late,
and the trouble came as a complete
surprise to brownsville Times

President Palma, of Cuba, whom
We believe to be a thoroughly honest
and patriotic man, has the good
wishes of the government and peO-
pie of this country in the contest that
has been precipitated by the rascal
ly, vagaband rabble of Cuba to over
throw his administration; but it is
very probable that he has a long and
trying guerrilla war before him and
that he will wish he was back in
New York teaching school before he
gets through with it.

Tomorrow or next day, the good
ship, Princess Irene, frightened with
the incarnate hope of the National
Democracy is expected TO reach New
York harbor and the day following
Mr.. Bryan will get his great reeep-
ton in Madison Square Garden. On
that occasion he will map out the
issues for the next campaign and the
whole American people irrespective
of party will listen with acute atten-
ton. Only a man of tremendous
power could measure up to the eX-
pectatiOns of such an occasion, but
Mr.. Bryan has been tested too often
to permit any Democratic doubt that
he will be equal to the emergency.

The Atlanta papers are slowly be-
ginning TO get interesting again after
fourteen months of Eatinswille
journalism, in which they did little
but throw mud at each other and the
rival candidates. But the editors up
there should go through a rigid de-
Odorizing process and cleanse and
fumigate themselves thoroughly be-
fore they set up as guides and teach
ers for the people again. And they
should abandon the very bad habit
of writing in double measure and
black-faced type. for matter with real
merit in it does not need such cheap,
mechanical, circus-pOster devices to
bring it TO the notice and apprecia-
ton of people who read the editorial

Immigrants at Galveston.

The North-German Lloyd Steamship company proposes to establish a line from Bremen to Galveston for the purpose of landing immigrants in the southwest. This is very good as a start no doubt, but it is not what the south desires by any means.
 A line from the Mediterranean to New Orleans is what Is needed. A ship starting from Bremen would be accessible to Germans and Poles and Russian Jews, and none of those peo. pie would perhaps take kindly to cot ton farming. A line that starts from Trieste, and touches at some Grecian port, and at Palermo, Naples and Genoa would fit the case, especially if New Orleans be the debarking port. New Orleans is the real center of the cotton states, and the steamer line that proposes to fill the south with white cotton farmers should prefer New Orleans to Galveston as point for disembarking immigrants.
 If need be immigrants could from New Orleans be widely placed by wa ter, and the rail facilities of that city will soon be exceptionally convenient. New York, San Francisco and New Orleans are plainly to be the coun- try's three great ports, and New Or leans place will be immensely strengthened by the construction of the Panama canal.
 No one will be apt to object to the establishment of line of steamers between Bremen and Galveston, but no one should consider such a line a solution of the immigration problem. It may promote it, but it cannot solve it, for Bremen is not Naples, nor is Galveston, as a port, the equal of New Orleans.

Hiah Talents Appreciated.

''I am glad to notice" said a prominent Birmingham Methodist last night, that
 a strong sentiment is developing among
 the delegates to the general conference to make the Rev. J. H. Mccoy of Bir- mingham editor of the Christian Advo- cate at Nashville, which is the official organ of the M. E. Church. South. While it would be a great loss to Bir- mingham to have a minister of MT. Mo
 Coy's ability leave the city and would be quite a blow to the Five Points church,
 which Is just on the point of erecting
 a new house of worship, 1 cannot but feel that Birmingham is eomplimented in
 having one of her young ministers men
 toned so prominently for this important
 post.
 MT. McCoy's address of welcome to the delegates on the first day of the con ference was a masterly effort and won
 him many friends among the visitors. Tt is also to be noted as a significant recognition of Mir McCoy's ability that
 the college of bishops has agreed upon
 him as the fraternal delegate from the
 M. E. church. South, to the general con
 ference of the Canadian Methodist church"

BRYAN FOR PRESIDENT. Will Run If Principles He has Been Fighting For Are Endorsed.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati E,n-
 quirer. Aa
 St' Louis' Mo.-From Cairo. Egypt, Will liam Jennings Bryon has written a letter to Colonel M. c. Wetmore of St. I,ouis. "hlch contains reference to his atti- tude toward the presidency. The letter is a personal one entirely and the com ] ment on the national situation Is tbe more interesting to the public from inc 1aet that it Is the frank utterance of a party leader to a confidential friend. Colonel Bryan undoubtedly speaks ex- actly what is in his mind when he says that he is rejoiced to see his policies growing in strength, but that he has no intention of appearing as a candidate for nomination in 1908, unless circumstances endanger the ascendancy of the princinIes which he regards as vital The text of the letter follows
 "Cairo, Egypt, April Is, 1906.
 My Dear Colonel Wetmore: Nv broth CT has forwarded me your letter. am always glad to hear from you. even if your flattering reports do make me bIush am satisfied that the things I hava been fighting for are growing, but who will be the most available in 1908 ;s Q question that cannot be answered now. shall not do anything to secure anoth- CT nomination, and do not want if. unIass circumstances seem to demand it. Time alone can determine that. I appreciate your deep interest in the matter. and shall want to see you as soon as get home. You will have to pay me thai promised visit. We are seeing lots ana l am glad you are pleased with the let ters. think you will enjoy the one on English rule in India. Yours,
 BRYAN"

CUT DOWN THE LIST.

From the Selma Journal.
 Anent the recent shooting in saloon. in Birmingham the Age-Herald of that city is out in a strong editorial in which it places a good deal of the blame of law lessness In that city on the masses for refusing to serve on juries. This thing oe shirking Jury duty is getting to be one of the crying shames of the day. Here in Selma ministers of the gospel, fire men, military men, railroad conductors and several others are exempt from jury duty We see no reason why the list should be so large. The very flower of our young manhood belongs to the mill tary and the fire department and while 1t looks like it would be kind of hard ship to make them do jury duty and per form their other duties also. We believe that they would make the sacrifice if called upon to do so. And then again we see no good reason for exempting minis ters of the gospel from serving on jures. They get up in their pulpits and preach obedience to the laws of both God and man. and it seems to us that if they were on jures that they would have most salutary influence in getting the right d if would be unpleasant for them to have to serve on jurles. 1t is unpleasant for anybody as for that natter and they ought to bear their pro rata part Of the burden in this direction. We would Ike to see the entire exemption list wiped out and all citizens who receive the pro lection of the law be compelled to come up and do their full duty toward sitting on iuries. We hope our representatives in the legislature will think over this mat ter and see if something cannot be done toward cutting down the jury exemptions not only here in Dallas but throughout the entire state. The Age-Heralds article was most timely and should bear good fruit. We cannot have the laws properly enforced when one-half of the people are attempting to shirk jury duty.

Cyclones in Texas.

The cyclone season is at hand. Me ridian was the opening event. and the destruction of Bellevue in Clay county Texas, shows that the funnel-shaped clouds are still playing their custom. ary part in this season of the year. As a rule such storms do not come to the earth at all, but now and then one does, and then destruction and death follow. Their path is, however, narrow and their stay at the earth s surface brief.
 The scientists call such storms tor nadoes, while the people persist in calling them cyclones. Their name need not concern us, for it does not in the least change their nature. Some, too, seem to think they are a modern weather contrivance, but this is a mistake. America has probably al ways had them, certainly they have swept from the southwest to the north east in all recorded times.
 While all sections of the country are sometimes subjected to these storms, yet they are chiefly destruc- tive in the states of the Mississippi valley, from Minnesota to the Gulf The spring and summer months are the favorite months of the tornado, and as a rule it shuns the Atlantic states. The hurricane, on the other hand, which springs up in the Carib. bean sea in the fall months prefers to disport itself in the Atlantic states The tornado comes from the great plains, while the hurricane comes from the warm waters to the south of us. Not much more can be said about them, for the scientists do not know much more about them than they dc about earthquakes or volcanoes. All that we know is that the cyclone sea. son Is at hand again, and that the cyclone cellar Is the one safe place when they touch and SCOUT the earth.

Gx-Gov. Taylor for Senator.

The preference Tennessee has ex- pressed for ex-Governor Bob Taylor over Senator Carmack will create a national ripple not unlike the one that Richmond Pearson Hobson's victory in the Sixth district of this state sent over the country. Tennessee,s favorite is man that is widely known. Like MT. HobsOn. he has appeared on lec- ture platforms in all the states, and he is a national figure and his name is a household word.
 It may be that the love of humor and the fiddle would not let the ma. jority of the democrats of Tennessee put aside Bob Taylor All white men were free to vote in Saturdays pri. mary, for no registration papers or poll tax receipts were required. IL was Tennessee's first primary, and the bars were thrown down.
 It may be, however, that the spirit pf change which is abroad in the land

Iron Makinu in April.

The April iron production was 69,' | 121 tons a day as against 69,859 tons a day in the month of March. One less furnace was in blast on May ] and irregular working was reported at several furnaces. The March product was 2,165,632 tons produced by 29! coke and anthracite stacks, and this stands as the record production of a month in all the history of iron-mak- ing in this or any other country. April's total was 2,073,645 tons.
 The Alabama furnaces made more iron in April than they did in March. Our April production from coke stacks was 137,049 tons as against 135, ,739 tons in March, and ,773 tons in January. In four months of the pres ent year our coke furnaces have turn ed out 549,353 tons. These figures point to a production this year of about 1,650,00 tons, as against pro- duction in 1905 of 1,578,514 tons. The production of charcoal iron last year in this state was 25,548 tons, and this brought the total production of all klnds of pig iron in this district up to 1,604,062 tons. The total produc- tion of this district may go to 1,675,0OO tons this year.

EXACT SITUATION IN THE
 POPULAR SONG MARKET

Another of his offerings is Just Two h The Shade" and still another Is The House of Hugs and Kisses" He offers too, "The Belle of The Ball." Gan echo of After the Ball" ? and Dreaming. Love, of You" Of the latter he says it is destined to be the waltz song hit of America MT. Harris is also a liberal provider of hopeless, despairing harmony. and this year has on his list two master pieces Just One Word of Consolationy and Tin Trying So Hard to Forget You.v He says that the former is great song for tenors or sopranos, and announces that it is published in two keys No doubt both of them are in the minor mode.
 Another publishing house advertises ballad entitled "since Nellie Went Away" patriotic ballad called "The Good Old U, s. A." This last named song has been provided with stanzas dealing with the San Francisco disaster. with the follow ing refrain
 Dear old Golden Gate has perished,
 Many hundreds lost their lives; Think Of losing those we cherished
 Mothers, sweethearts, sons or wives. Sister state, dear California,
 Soon will come brighter day, For your homes the land of Uncle Sam.
 The good old U. S. A.
 A western publisher has two, rather novel songs. If That Place Called Heaven Were Mine," and q Don't Know Where I'm Goin', But I'm On My Way" An other firm advertises When the Whip poorwill Sings, Marguerite" and makes the statement that 1t is published in seven keys and that 25O,O0O copies have already been sold. Other new ballads are, No One Can Take Your Place. 'Pu Be Waiting iT the Gloaming, Sweet Gen. evieve," Some One Thinks of Some One" and "Af1oat on Five-Dollar Note"
 These samples show the general trend of the popular song in this year of grace 1906 It is growing more and more senti mental as the days roll by Its humor is dying away and it has abandoned synco- patton and the tempo di marche Unless there Is a decided reaction it will soon he come as utterly plalntive and depressing as "The Lost Chord or the Wedding March from 'Lohengrin."

led to the defeat of Carmack. This spirit was shown in the recent contest in the Sixth congressional district of this state, and if the prevailing dis content is to control the numerous fall elections. some surprising changes are in store for us. New York and Indiana may be regained, and the democrats put on the road to win a sweeping victory in 1908.
