Looking the Future
In the Face.

The Journal is not among those
who look forward to the future OF
Pensacola with fear and trembling.
We realize the gravity of the situa-
tion-we realize the extent of the
damage done by last weeks storm;
but we also realize the extent Of the
resources of our people, and the re-
serve power of the community.
This is by no means the first time
that the hand of Fate has been
laid heavily upon the people of Pen
sacola.
This is by no means the first time
that disaster has befallen that people
nor Will 1t be the first time that
the community has put its troubles
underfoot and bravely pressed on
ward to renewed prosperity and re
awakened hope.
Fortunately for the city, those who
have lost the most by the storm,
are those best fitted to Withstand
their losses
Our great apprehension rail
roads, our land and timber com
panies-our saw mills and wholesale
houses-will all be found equal to the
occasion.
Some Of them indeed have already
begun the work of renovation and re
pair. This means the disbursement
Of large sums Of money-it means
work for all who are able and willins
to work.
To those who are not able, the PEG
pie of Pensacola win lend a helping
hand; for those who will not work
there is the open door and the wide
world beyond; for there is to-day nc
room in this city for drones and vag
rants.
The waste places of the city must
be built up-the wreck must be swept
away. This means work, wages and
willing hands.
And ii is for this reason that The
Journal believes that the coming
winter will see every able-bodied man
in Pensacola employed, and every
chance Of want and suffering swept
away into the limbo Of things forgot
ten by the hand of progress and pros.
perity.
Let us all work together, as we
have suffered and endured together.

The City Water Front and
the Thing to Do Now.

For years the city of Eensacola
has gradually lost foot after foot of
its water front property until but lit
tie has remained that some individ-
ual did not lay claim to.
By a process Of fencing up, build
ing OF wharves, boat houses, bath
houses, filling in, and squatting on
every available portion of the water
front, private individuals have in
ma. J cases controlled portions of the
bay shores for which they held no
better titles than the mere fact of
visible possession though they claim
ed to be the owners of the property
in question.
But II Is an Ill wind that blows
nobody good, and If the recent storm
has done nothing else, 1t has, at
least, swept the water front clear of
these membranes, and dis-possess-
ed these squatters by a process OF
the most summary nature imagin-
able.
In our opinion, the city authori-
ties should now lose no time in profit
ing by the situation.
Every foot Of the property to
which we refer should at once be
taken over by the municipality of
Pensacola, and no squatter who can
not show clear title to the land he
has been occupying, properly record
ed, should, under any circumstances,
be allowed to remain in occupation
Or rebuild.
1t goes without saying that any
and all deeds to water front property
hitherto granted by the city, should
be allowed to stand; and we think ii
equally clear that all such lands, not
so conveyed, should at once be taken
possession of by the municipal au-
thorities.
The salvation Of Pensacola lies in
its harbor, and-the future-for the
reason ite water front is among its
most valuable possessions.
Too much Of that water front has

Result of wearing High Collars.

Result OF Wearing High Collars.
That high collars tend to produce
nervous headaches among both meE
and women is the most recent discov.
cry Of well known ylennese physi,
clan. Quite accidentally the doctors
attention was directed to the very high
and very tight style OF collar worn by
a patient who was always complaining
OF headaches and giddiness. The col
lar was laid aside, thus removing tho
compression Of the neck, and the pa
tents headaches and glddiness disap-
peared. Struck by this result the doc
tor paid particular attention to the kind
OF collars worn by bis headache pa
tients," and in very many instances the
change to lower and easier fitting col
lars brought immediate relief. In the
case OF women wearing hlghsstif neck
bands 1t was found that doing. away
with these had a ,similarly beneficial re
suit The doctor declares that nobody
with a tendency to headache should
wear high collars.

SOME SHORT
STATE STORIES

In discussing Governor Browards
drainage proposition, the Defunlak
Breeze has the following to say;
1T strikes US that the people Oh
this section Of the state have very
personal interest in the drainage OF
the Everglades in mat, If we accept
as true the estimate of Mr.. Ingraham
Of the East Coast Railway four years
ago that they would be worth at
least $50 per acre when drained
The large land companies now own
100000 acres Of land assessed at
about 81 per acre. Drained these
lands would be worth $l65,OOO,0 0O,
and If then assessed at one-third
their value or say $50,000000 /, 1t
would mean an addition to the tax
able property of the state OF about
SAT, 100000 or as much as fifteen
counties like Walton. The very
natural result would be the reduction
OF the tax rate over the entire state.
Add to this the increased valuation
OF the states property In them,
amout 100000 acres or S1.0O00O0 IN
value for schools. roads and other
Improvements If this view of 1t Is
wrong we respectfully ask the Times
Union to show US where. Yes, we
believe We are in favor OF drainage.

May Z, dispatch from Valparaiso say.
Ing that much damage had been done
The British steamship Guatemala
lying at anchor in the harbor OF AFRICA
was violently shaken and her anchoI
cable was snapped. On May 30 sub
terranean disturbance threw q tidai
wave along the Valparaiso shore line.
but little damage was done. This was
followed In a few hours by a fearful
gale, in which the Chilean bark Anto-
fogasta was hurled against pier and
smashed to pieces In five minutes. The
Valparaiso harbor has been swept so
often by destructive gales that a
project to make it absolutely safe is
now under way. A breakwater, at q
cost of $12O0o,000, is being construct
ed The contract was let only about
q month ago.
Valparaiso became an object Of
great interest to Americans in October,
1891, when the incident occurred there
which almost plunged the United
States and Chile into war. Some OF
the populace attacked sailors from the
United States cruiser Baltimore, kill
ing two Of the American bluejackets.
The diplomatic exchanges led to Pres
ident Harrison sending a message, on
Jan. 25, 1892, to congress in which he
set forth that "the communications of
the Chilean government have not at
any time taken the form Of a manly
and satisfactory expression OF regret,
much less Of an apology" A United
States squadron was being fitted out
on the Pacific coast when finally Chile
made complete apology, and the incl
dent closed.
Ships from all parts Of the world
trade with Valparaiso, which Is the
terminus Of important lines Of steam
ers from Europe by way Of the Strai
Of Magellan. The city is also the CEN
ter Of the South American coasting
services There is a great custom
house wharf, alongside OF which large
steamers can moor, but most Of the
freight Is handled from lighters.
The harbor Is defended by modern
batteries. The first defense works
were erected In 1865, after Spanish
fleet caused great destruction by q
heavy boubardment The forts mount
i42 guns, most Of them from Germany
and England. Valparaiso is the favor
lite spot on the South American coast
for foreign warships. Most Of the for
eign consuls have their residence near
the port.
A close comparison has been drawn
between Valparaiso and San Francis
co. Both have Golden Gates, but from
the sea Valparaiso Is the more invit-
ing. Behind San Francisco the hills
rise brown and bleak, while behind
Valparaiso they rise in brilliant green

Is built on twenty hills, and so steep
is the land in places that public ele.

Two Monster Beetles.

The largest bug known to the OLD
world entomologists is the gigantic
Goliath beetle, which Is found along
the Kongo river in Africa. Goliath is
upward Of six inches In length from
the tip Of his nose to the neither end
OF his hard shelled body and has a
pair Of gauzy wings folded up under
his arms, either Of which Is as large
as lady's face veil. But Goliath Is q
pygmy when compared with the ele-
plant beetle Of Venezuela, an entomo-
logical giant which weighs nearly a
pound and which has a wing spread
equal to that of a maliard duck. Both
of these bugs are rare.
