faithful devotion of the officers and
committees, special credit is due the
president, Mr.. A. T. Latta. who for
the past month has practically
given it his sole attention, and it is
to his close attention to details that
much Of the pleasure Of the assembly
is due. Mr.. A. r. Albertus, the
secretary, shared with Mr.. Latta
most of the work and is also deserv-
ing of his full share Of credit as are
many others, especially CT. Tupper,
chairman of the advertising COM
mittee and WI. Carpenter chairman
OF the grounds committee. ,,.r.
Owing largely to the inclement
weather of the opening days the
assembly did not pay financially,
but this is seldom the case with any
assembly the first year, and the de-
fcit is go small that the result is
satisfactory to the management, and
the stockholders felt encouraged to
hold another one next year.

Fun On The Pike.

One OF the departments of the
Minnesota State Fair which may a.
ways be depended upon to furnish a
large gtist Of amusement, is the
Pike, which will be carried on this
year much the same as last except
that 1t will. be better in every parti-
cular. The Pike occupies the large
enclosure on the west side of the
grounds in the vicinity Of the live
stock department. After entering
its gates one may sec q large vari-
ety OF free amusements including
a dare devil bicycle ride and leap,
or dozen differnt shows covering
a wide range and amusements may
be entered for small tee. Among
these special shows is Switzerland,
an electrical and, scenic spectacle
brought from the Paris Exposition
a great expense; Creation, the Sun
Flower Bellies, Katzenjammer
Castle, the wild animal show and
moving pictures from San Francis
Gu. To include all that may be seen
on the Pike and to describe the show

in the evening the Parlan-Newhall
Co. gave a sacred concert. No admis-
sion was charged on Sunday but a.
collection was taken up at each SER
vice and over 500 was realized in
this way.
on, Monday afternoon Judge JIM.
Wade, of Iowa City,. delivered his
splendid lecture on ''The Reign Of
Law" The Judge is an eloquent
and torceful speaker, and he handled
this weighty subject with consumate
skill that made. a dsep impression
on his audience. t. r.>r;. 4 .-o
OA Monday evening the physical
culture class and the Patterson
Sisters filled the program '.@ 5o
Tuesday the last day was the big
gest$day of the Cautauqua,, as the
programcontained two distinguished
names, those Of Senator B. r: Till
man and Mr.. Ernest Thompson
Seton. Mr.. Tillman lectured in the
aftenoon, taking for his subject
"The Railroads and the Trusts s'''@ !
Senator Tillman had expected to
speak on the NEGRO Poblem,' but
owing to his we'll known radical
views on bis point Prof. Warne, the
platform manager, pevailed on him
to; speak on the other subject. Sen
ator5 Tillman.. explained that the
subject was distasteful to him, and
his address showed it, as it was
practically little more than re-
hash of press reports of the rate bill
with a few side lights from the SEN
ator's point of view. He opened
by stating that the railroads had
been having their own way for
many years and that owing to thier
rebate system vicious discrimina-
tions. had come to prevail that
were undermining the industrial
liberties Of the county. In response
populear demand the house passed
the Hepburn bill which was ampll-
hedin the senate, and finally passed.
He aroused President Roosevelt Of
hunking on the measure. The rail-
road senators made several ineffec-
tual attempts to play the game, in
which they are experts, ''How not
to DO it," but their schemes were
frustrated by the. more patriotic
members of the body. He referred
to the Federal Judges as the servile
tools of railroads, fact, alas, only
90 true in many cases.
Senator Tillman is u forceful but
far: from pleasing speaker, and
many were greatly disappointed in
his, lecture. The greatest, trouble
with him was that he sta, ed great
many disagreeable truths that many
didn t like to hear. =
Four of the Chautauqua people
who made many friends here were
Prof. G. z. Warne, the platf' I'm
manager, Prof. Wimberly, the musi-
cal director, Miss Maxon, the reader
and physical culture teacher, and
Rev. Shaffer, who had charge Of
tho bible study class. They dis
charged their respective duies in a
most creditable manner, and their
work ad6el greatly to the enjoy
ment Of the assembly by those who
we're camped ON the grounds.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE.

Had the administration of France
met with such an overwhelming defeat
as the present Florida administration
met with on the drainage question in
the recent election, each and every
cabinet officer would have promptly
resigned.
They would have accepted such de-
feat as a vote of lack of confidence. d"
But our Florida officials are not given
to resigning-they seldom die, and
never resign. The people, however,
will not soon forget the outrageous
piece Of Legislation recently attempted,
and unless very marked and unexpected
changes take place during the next two
years several members of the present
/. I. Board will find themselves out in
the cold, cold world hunting new jobs.

2AfNANNAA
SonvilIe, was one Of the chief organ
izers-if not the sole originator of the
inSurgent, POpulistic faction known
locally as "straightouts") which has
for years afflicted the Democratic party
Of Florida, and whIch-because Of the
apathy and indifference of the real
Democrats throughout the State-at
last succeeded, by sheer political trick
cry, in foisting Jennings upon the party
as Governor, and making Broward his
successor.
The Florida Democracy, too late for
his just punishment, found out what
sort of creature Jennings was; they
are now finding out what sort of a
creature Broward u.s. This little gang
Of shrewd and desperate politicians will
stop at nothing TO achieve their one
great purpose, viz: To acquire complete
control Of the party in Florida. They
have IabOred at this purpose for years
The defeat of the BrOward-J ennings
drainage scheme by the votes Of the
people has not discouraged them They
are prepared TO continue the fight.
Such successes as they have achieved
in the past have duly encouraged them
to renewed effort, despite the con-
domination Of the people. Although
the scheme to establish vast political
machine which should forever hold in
helpless suggestion the real Democracy
OF the State, by the adoption of the
drainage amendment to the COnstitu-
ton was failure, this insurgent ele.
ment is already scheming to try another
project by which it hopes to accom-
plish its desires.
At meeting Of the Jacksonville
Chamber of Commerce few days ago
Mr.. Stockton offered a resolution re-
questing the Governor to call an extra
session Of the Legislature for the ex-
press purpose of declaring war upon
the railroads, it being a cardinal prin-
ciple Of the gang" copied from the
defunct Populists, to make war upon
all corporations, and especially upon
railroads. The resolution was ably OPP
posed by thoughtful members of the
body, and was referred to committee.
The incident accounts for the recent
rumors about the possibility Of an ex-
ira session The advocates Of this in
sane idea well know that while the last
Legislature was apparently a willing
instrument for the execution of almost
any plan in furtheranee Of Straight
out" ideas, since then the people have
spoken, and have elected a Democratic
Legislature.
These schemers against the integrity
and policies Of the Democratic party of
Florida appear to have missed a very
important consideration in the situa-
ton, and that is, that the terms of
Office Of the members Of the House Of
Representatives land half Of the Sen
ators) of the last Legislature have ex.
PRED, their successors having been
duly elected, and any extra session
called between the date Of their cleo
ton and the date wnen they will meet
in regular session next spring should
be composed Of the newly-elected mem
beTs, and not of those who are no
longer in Office.

1t is gratifying to learn that the ru-
NOR Of the calling of an extra session
of the Florida Legislature is unfounded.
Madison New Enterprise
The rumor was not unfounded. The
administration at Tallahassee had it
under serious consideration, did consid-
cradle talking among themselves, and
with those they called here, and 1OiseLy,
sensibly, decided they could not afford
to put the people to probably $50, 900 or
more expense, just to lay plans to carry
out their schemes, whatever it may
have been. Every mothers son Of
those officials hope to repair their pOlit-
ical fences before the coming campaign
"opens again in June"
