last Fridays Daily.

From last Fridays Daily.
The northbound freight train on
the Seaboard Air Line railway was
wrecked at Citra at an early hour
yesterday morning.
The train consisted of about seven
or eight freight cars heavily loaded
wiz oranges consigned to S. ]. Sigh
& Co., Jacksonville.
1t was impossible to secure any
definite cause of the wreck as the of
ficials refused to talk. The engine
did not leave the track but the tender
was half way buried in the sand and
the cars were splintered and piled
on top Of each other. The rails and
crossties were scattered in every di.
rection and oranges were strewn
along the road for several hundred
yards.
Both the north and south bound
passenger trains yesterday afternoon
were delayed several hours, being
compelled to remain at Citra until
a new track could be laid
No one was injured in the wreck,
but one of the passengers on the
south bound train got too close to
where the wreckage was being clear
ed away and was badly hurt about
the head. DR.. Blackshear was called
to the injured mans assistance and
rendered the necessary surgical aid

The Color Line.

The colored man and brother seems
to worry Oklahoma Republicans great
deal Recently | quoted in these let
tiers certain resolutions which Re
publican editorial association in Okla
homa passed against negroes. There
has just appeared another manifesto
ton of their hostility to them. When
his highness Vice President Fairbanks
was to visit Muskogee the managers
of Republican affairs, with an eye wide
open to the negro vote, appointed GER
tain colored men on the reception com
mittee, whereupon certain white Re
publicans kicked up big row. So II
seems that the color line exists among
Republicans, and there are likely to be
two Republican parties in the United
States-one negro party and the Other
Lily White.

A Hasty Conclusion.

The process of ratiocination Of the
inductive philosophers is to draw con-
illusions from known facts, which is a
most valuable mental performance and
has accomplished much good since
Lord Bacon set men to practicing it,
but there is an ancient dictum to the
effect that zone swallow does not make
a SUMNER which is hereby most cheer
fully commended to the editor of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. Because a
superheated gentleman from Atlanta,
Ga, at the bankers convention in st.
Louis, probably trying to commend
himself to President Roosevelt for a
good fat office, vociferously advocated
the presidents tariff policy the CD,
violating the rule stated above, jumps
to two conclusions-frSt, that the south
is going very soon to be in favor of a
stake and ridered tariff; second, that
the stake and ridered tariff Is the
Roosevelt creed. Will the superheated
Atlanta patriot or the editor of the
CD. please inform an anxious and ex-
pectant world how the conclusion is
reached that President Roosevelt is a
stand patter? If they will read his
"Life of Colonel Thomas Hart Burton"
they will learn, no doubt much to their
surprise, that President Roosevelt says
that 'sthe great Missourian" deserves
the greatest credit-not ordinary credit,
mark you, but the greatest creditor
the long and successful fight he made
to put salt on the free list and that he
was entirely right in so doing. which
certainly proves that he is free trader,
SO far as salt is concerned. This will
probably shock the hilarious patriot
from Atlanta and the CD. editor, but
what is writ is writ, and it's in the
book. The Washington Star, high
class Republican paper, published
right under the presidents nose, says
that he wrote a paragraph for his last
December message in favor of tariff
revision and was dissuaded from put
ting it in by Uncle Joe, Secretary Shaw
and ether stand patters, provided they
would run through the house the Phil
ippine tariff bill, the railroad rate bin
and the bill to make two states out Of
four territories. This news will also
shock the eloquent brother from At
lanta and the CD editor, but the
Washington Star is responzs bile news
paper; consequently it may be conf
IDENTIFY assumed that the GID. made its

AS to Civil Service.

A great many well meaning persons
imagine that the civil service has been
taken out Of politics, and they, as
members of the Civil Service associa-
ton, go around patting themselves on
the back and growing chesty by rea-
son Of what they fondly believe they
have accomplished. All such persons
delude themselves. To a large extent
those on the civil list of the govern
ment are expected to contribute to
the campaign expenses of the party IN
power just as they formerly did, and,
as a matter of fact. they do contribute
and under compuision." 1t Is abso-
luteIy safe to say that nine-tenths OF
all holding government positions con-
tributed this year voluntarily" to the
Republican campaign fund, 'volun-
tarily'' being used in a Pickwickian
sense. Really it was the old game OF
"stand and deliver" OF course the
civil service law prohibits officers OF
the government from soliciting vol
untary" contributions, but it does not
preclude political committees from so
doing, and when government en-
ployee receives pressing invitation
from Republican manager-say, for
instance, from Hon. Thomas i. Neid-
ringhaus, chairman Of the Republican
state committee of Missouri-to make
voluntary contribution to the Re-
publican corruption fund he knows per-
fectly well that it is both a command
and threat which he will disobey at
his peril Consequently he comes
down with the dust" to borrow an
expression from Dean Swift. He IN.
derstands that Hon. 7. x. N. has
close and direct connection with a con,
ceaied administration headsman. o.
course, If he fails to voluntarily con

A Query Answered.

When matters presidential are dis.
cussed the question is asked, Wi.
President Roosevelt accept another
nomination if it is rendered to him ?"
On the well known Yankee mode Of
procedure that query may be an
swered completely by another-"WilI
a duck swim?" OF course he has said
in every way that a man can say a
thing, except to swear TO it, that he
will not be candidate again, but he
has a right to change his opinion on
that subject and then to be defeated,
for there are hundreds of thousands
Of Americans, both Republicans and
Democrats, who will never consent for
any man to have three terms in the
White House, and Mr.. Roosevelt has
himself characterized bis present term
as his second term, so that there can
be no technicality pleaded at the bar
of public opinion about this being only
his first term.

The Cuban ImbrosIio.


During the administration of Frank
lin Pierce, when James Buchanan was
our minister to the court Of st. James,
he met our ministers to the courts Of
Versailles and Madrid at place
named Ostend They laid their heads
together touching things In the west
ern hemisphere and issued a paper
called 1.-The Ostend manifesto" in
which it was intimated that we need
ed Cuba in our business, would pay
Spain good round price for the IS
land If she would sell, and If she
would not sell then we should take
Cuba vi ct arms. From that faraway
day to this 'the Ostend manifesto" has
been denounced as the sum Of all vii
lainy by the Republican press, while
James Buchanan and his collaborators
in preparing that far resounding docu-
ment have been pilloried as criminals
of deepest dye by all the Republican
Pharisees in the land. But times
change, and we change with them.
Theodore Roosevelts is doing precisely
what 1.-THE Ostend manifesto" said
should be done, and the Republicans
applaud as wisdom and patriotism in
him what they bitterly denounced
when proposed by James Buchanan
and his coadjutors. The only hin
drance to his doing it out of hand by
sending our army and navy down
there is sthe Platt amendment"
which was adopted for the purpose of
keeping other nations off us while
we trounced the Spaniards in 1893
Now the Republicans regret ever hay
ing adopted it. They forget why it
was adopted. Had it not been adopt
ed we probably would have been COM
PEELED to fight half dozen nations at
once instead of playing a game of
military solitaire with Spain.
If the spirits Of departed statesmen
take any interest in the affairs of this
lower world. James Buchanan and his
fellow Ostenders must have high glee,
for after six decades President Roose-
welt is indicating them. His is
strange fate-stranger than fiction.
Everything he does which adds to his
popularity he borrows from some Dem
ocrat, dead or living. His present Gu
ban policy he borrowed from James
Buchanan ct al. His railroad rate reg
ulation ideas he borrowed from that
immortal Texas Democrat, Judge John
H. Reagan. who was judge and rail-
road commissioner of Texas, postmas-
ter general in the cabinet Of Jefferson
Davis, as well as representative and
senator In the congress of the United
States. Reagan was a great man and
is entitled to the glory which President
Roosevelt gets out Of all this hula
baloo about regulating freight rates.
But the New England writer's of fic-
ton, which they misname history, will
never mention Judge Reagan, but will
give all the credit to Roosevelt The
president borrowed his ideas of an In
come tax from the Democrats. He APP
pears to have taken a leaf-indeed, sew
eral leaves-out of the book of Ben
jamin Disraeli, earl of Beaconsfeld.
Benjamin fought electoral reform when
proposed by Gladstone. but as soon as
he pried the Grand Old Man out and
got in himself he proposed more rad
ical electoral reform bill than Glad
stone had advocated and passed it. He
called it "a leap in the dark" but he
took it nevertheless. So with Colonel
Roosevelt.
