WILL FLORIDA BE REPRESENTED
IN BRYAN's CABINET?

Florida has never figured very ex-
tensively in national affairs. She has
never had representative in any cab
met of any president of the United
States. She has never had any min
lister at any court of any of the great
powers. Notwithstanding her popula-
ton is largely cosmopolitan, her
claims to the federal pie has been
overlooked because her influence in
political conventions has never been
potential enough to bring her into POI
litical prominence. Her electoral vote
has counted against her. This is prov
en- from the fact that her senator are
as bright and influential as those
from the great empire state of New
York, and her congressman are in
every way as useful and gifted as
those from the larger states. 1t stands
to reason that if Florida can furnish
good men for senator's and congress
men she is just as able to furnish
them for other positions. If Platt lived
in Florida, who believes that he would
have ever occupied seat in the SEN
ate of the United States?
If the Nebraskan is elected presi-
dent, we believe an innovation will
be made, and the Titles states will
be given their slice of pie just the
same as the big states. If Bryan does
not do this he will not be the man we
take him. to be. We at least believe
that Florida will be represented in
his cabinet. Besides being cousins,
Bryan and Jennings are very fast
friends, and if elected president, Mr..
Bryan can give him cabinet position
with perfect impunity and good grace
because Mr.. Jennings has the prestige
of having been elected governor of a
southern state, although a northern
man, by the genuine cracker ele-
ment, and to have received such an
honor he must have possessed extra
ordinary qualifications. His elevation
to cabainet position, it seems to us.
would receive only favorable criticism.
During Mr.. jennings administration
of the affairs of state it can not be
denied but that he made an excep-
tionally excellent executive, and it is
claimed by his partisans that he was
the "best governor Florida ever had
Why can not he then be given a
cabinet position?

William Jennings Bryan Will Accept
Nomination.

Former United States Senator Jas.
X. Jones, of Arkansas, who was chair
man of the democratic national COM
mittee when William J.. Bryan made
his campaign for the presidency in
1896 and 1900, has received a letter
from Mr.. Bryan in which he announces
that he will accept the nomination for
president for the third time if it is ten
dered to him. The letter is dated June
IS, at Stockholm, and is as follows:
81 have been watching political de-
velopments and have noted with graf
ification the vindication of democratic
principles. You have correctly stated
my position. AS | wrote to Colonel
Wetmore, | shall do nothing to secure
another nomination, and do not want
one unless the conditions seem to de-
mand it. | may add that enjoy the
freedom of private life and feel that
/ can do some good without holding
any Office.
"There are. however, certain re-
forms which I would like very much
10 see accomplished, and to assist in
the accomplishment of these reforms
X. am willing to become the party can
didate again, If when the time for
nomination arrives, the advocates of
reform are,in control of the party and
think that my candidacy will give the
best assurance of victory. If some one
else seems more available, ! shall be
even better pleased.
81 need not assure you that | am
more interested in seeing our princi-
Piles triumphant than I am in the per
sonnet of the ticket. The country
needs to have Jeffersonian democracy
applied to all of the departments of
the government, state and national.
and I am content to help make this
application. Yours truly,

AS HE SAW CHRIST.

To read in a personal letter writ
ten about two thousand years ago
by an eyewitness, description OF
Jesus Christ, is the treat ecclesiastical
Europe is now enjoying. The letter,
which appears to be one of the most
important historical documents I'M
earthed in modern times, was writ,
ten by an officer of Pontius Pilates
court to the Roman emperor. 1t is
said to have been recently discovered
in the library of the Lazarist fathers
in Rome.
That part of the epistle which tells
how the Saviour looked is translated
as follows: "He is a man of medium
size, whose appearance indicates both
great sweetness and such an amount
of dignity that one feels in looking
at him that he must love him and at
the same time fear him. His hair.
down to his ears, is of the color of
ripe walnuts and hangs down on his
shoulders in light blond and clear
mass; it is parted in the middle, &C
cording to the fashions of the Naza-
renes. His beard, of the same color
as his hair, is curly, and, although
not very long, is parted in the middle
like his hair. His eyes are rather Sc
we're, and shine like the sun; it is
impossible for anyone to look him in
the face. When he scolds he inspires
fear, but very soon he himself begins
to shed tears. Even in his most Sc
we're moods he is affable and benevo-
lent. 1t is said that no one has ever
seen him laugh, and that he sheds
tears very often. Everyone finds that
his conversation is agreeable and at.
tractive. He is not seen very often
in public, and when he appears he
carries himself modestly."
Churchmen are endeavoring to es
tablish the authenticity oe the writ
ing because of the important testimo
ny it contains relating to the miracles
performed by Christ.

Instead of waiting to investigate their

REFORM IN THE PLUM ORCHARD.

The work goes bravely on, and
Pennsylvania is chock-full Of reform,
state and municipal, and all parties
are thoroughly indoctrinated with it.
In the recent republican convention.
Senator Penrose, as old Napoleon at
Austerlitz, directed his cohorts from
afar, and hurled them against the
cleaners in the plum orchards. st.
Paul himself could find no flaw in the
platform; President Eliot of Harvard.
might have written it; President
Roosevelt inspected it, accepted it,
and approved it as very good reform
for Pennsylvania; and no doubt it is.
But it is not good enough reform
for the out-and-outers, and they re-
jected it, held convention of their
own, and named themselves the Lin
colnites, nominating a ticket of silk
stocking responsibility.
Then the democrats took a whack.
For many long years the Pennsylvania
democracy was merely hand plant"
for the convenience of the late Mat
thew Stanley Quay, and before his
boss-ship was permanently established,
the Pennsylvania democracy had been
taught to fetch and carry for Simon
Cameron, himself a democrat in "Old
Hickory days: but in 1906 the Penn
sylvania democracy is washed white
in the rivers of reform that are pour
ing through Pennsylvania from every
point of the compass, and the party,
in state convention assembled, last
Wednesday, got ON the purity band
wagon and joined the Linc; mites, on
whom was forced a. grandson of that
grim old democrat, Jere Black, for
liftenant governor, as the Berks coun-
u c,nucrats pronounce it
It has been pertinaciously assever-
ated, and plausibly maintained, that
in any year when national issues were
at stake, there has not been real
election in Pennsylvania since 1855,
when her vote was cast for James
Buchanan for president of the United
States; Philadelphia and Allegheny
county were just given the wink and
the requisite republican majority was
forthcoming. However, this story is
of democratic parentage, and doubt,
less it was concocted by the profane,
for we may be. sure that among the
democrats of Pennsylvania there are
few "vagrom men," "but God is to
be worshiped, and all men are not
alike"
Pennsylvania is great state, i'm
mensely rich, and full of plum trees
Just now reform is a fad in Pennsyl
vania and Philadelphia. 1t is catch

the bosses.
But plums will be ripe after while
and your Pennsylvania is ravenous
