A Strange Tale.

Dripping with water from the Pc
nobscot, where he met his death by
drowning, the spirit of James Shee-
han, of Bangor, Me-. stood before his
wife as, she lay wide awake worrying
over the burden of debt which she
supposed he had left, and told her
that in a tin box in the left-hand cor
ner of the safe of a certain downtown
business man she would find papers
which would clear up all her business
troubles. Bright and early the next
morning Mrs. Sheehan sent her little
daughter to the Office named, and the
papers were found just as the spirit
had revealed, so declares Mrs. Shee-
han; she says she had no earthly
means of knowing where the papers
were.

The people of Florida want to know
where Governor jennings got a for

ernor of Florida. Tell us, governor,
how you managed, on a salary of
$500 a year, to purchase Tin the
name of another person. about $780,
900 worth of stock in the Consolidated
Naval Stores Company, and a large
block of stock in the Florida Bank
and Trust Company? Where did you
get it, governor?-Tavares Herald.
There are great many men in
Florida besides Governor Jennings
who have grown rich in the past few
years and whose riches have been
legitimately acquired. If others, why
not Jennings?

Already candidates for the govern

prepare for the race to succeed Ma
poleon B. Broward as governor of
Florida.
Among the latest to announce is
Judge Horace G. Gordon, who last
night confided his ambition to a
member of the Tribune staff. Judge
Gordon is as eminent jurist, a fine
lawyer, pleasing speaker and affable
gentleman.
Should he run, there is no doubt
but that the Tampa man would make
life interesting for his competitors.
Judge Gordon, however, should he
run, will not make preliminary tour
of Europe.-Tampa Tribune.

Trying to Destroy the Doctrine Of
States Rights.

Our special Washington correspond
emit, Mr.. c. A. Edwards, writes lucid
ly upon a subject that ought to inter
est all democratic readers:
Judge Humphreys, the federal judge
who discharged the packers on the
ground that they were immune from
prosecution notwithstanding their
confession of conspiracy to rob the
American people. is finding himself in
a rather humiIiating plight by the
fight that is now being made upon
him by James Hamilton Lewis, corpo-
ration counsel of Chicago, whom
Humphreys some time ago ordered to
Jail for contempt because Lewis
brought a suit for his clients, the
bondhonlders of the Boston Water
and Light Company. in the state
court of Illinois, to collect their
claims amounting to $225,000. Judge
Humphrey had previously in the fed
eral decision given the property to
the Farmers Loan and Trust Compa-
ny of New York. without any notice
to the clients of Col. Lewis. Lewis
fought the contempt to the supreme
court of the United States, which has
lately held that they will take juris-
diction of the matter after the circuit
court of appeals has passed upon the
question.
The question at stake is far-reach-
ing. If federal Judge can enjoin
citizens from going into state court
to protect their rights and force them
to come into the federal court and
acknowledge a decision adverse to
them previously made, he can destroy
all that is left of state rights and
state sovereignty. The citizen be-
comes at once mere subject of the
federal government, and has no rights
within the states nor the states any
right to protect him in the courts of
the state. Many members of congress
and a number of senators have taken
up the subject, as they say that the
extent of the ruling will be equivalent
| to a destruction of the liberty of
every lawyer and more particularly
would fulfill the fear and prophecy of
Thomas Jefferson, when he pointed
out that the ultimate end of these fed
eral courts with such judges as Judge
Humphrey would be the destruction
Fof all the state and the constituting
of the citizen a mere vassal of the
federal judges, who step by step would
take their liberty away and then their
lives.
This issue was once made in the
| United States against Chase, and it
has been made in every country
where the despotism of judges has
Threatened the destruction of truly
free institutions.
The democratic party in congress
and large body of independent re-
publicans will be found sustaining the
position of Colonel Lewis, and Judge
Humphrey will do well if he escapes
the fate that befell Justice Swayne of
Florida, who was impeached by the
house of representatives for just such
Ityrannical course.

CHAIRMAN TAGGART AND THE
pELAND WEEKLY NEWS.

Since his defeat for the state SEN
ate our good friend, the editor OF the
DeLand Weekly News, seems to be all
torn up and out of sorts. Just when
everything looks lovely in the demo
cratic household and it is Spawned by
a rainbow of hope, he gives odt a dis
cordant note, and wants to bring
about another season of doubt and de-
spair.
Here is what Brother CodriugtUn
says in the last issue of the News
"The famous gambling house locat-
ed at French Lick Springs, Ind, and
belonging to Tom Taggart, was raid
ed a few days ago and several car
loads of magnificent gambling para
phernalia were confiscated. Taggart,
it will be recalled, is chairman of the
national democratic executive COM
mittee and was, nominally, in charge
of the last disastrous campaign. The
people who put Taggart in as chair
man of the national committee un-
doubtedly knew the business in which
he was engaged. A demand now, from
these same people, that he resign, sa-
yors of hypocrisy. He should be
thrown out-and will be by the next
national convention. AS long as the
democratic party ties to gamblers,
|law-breakers and thieves, and places
them in the most responsible and con-
spicuous places, the party will court
disaster at the polls. This is nice
record with which to go before the
people of the country at the Novem-
Der elections!"
Now, what are the facts? We shall
let Mr.. Taggart speak for himself:
Under his own signature in the col
umns of the New York World, Mr..
Taggart says:
"A building owned by the French
Lick Springs Company, wholly discon-
nected from the hotel property, was
leased to a party to be used for bill
lizards and bowling alleys, with a
strong clause in the lease against
gambling. After time this tenant
permitted gambling. We brought suit
for possession on account of the
breach of that provision in the lease
and recovered judgment. He appealed
the case, and it is pending for trial
in the present term of court.
"rhe state authorities have supple
mented our efforts to recover posses
sion by raiding that building, and that
| is all there is to the grossly sensa
tional publication in which the World
has placed credence.
"The French Lick Hotel Company
has not and will not tolerate gambling
in any form on it's premises. This is
attested by the court records, which
show our efforts to suppress it, anC
lit is well known to Mr.. Hearst, who
with such knowledge, continues the
publication of his vindictive and libel
Ious falsehoods. regret that the
World has seen fit to dignity these
atrocious falsehoods by editorial men
ton.
"The proposition that l should re
sign is preposterous. 1t deserves AM
will receive no attention"
Editor Codrington has again walkeC
off on his ear and we think he is du,
Mr.. Taggart, the chairman of the ma
tional democratic executive commit
tee, an apology, and we hope he vii
have the manliness to make it.
The great need of the democrats
party is to get together. Let's do it.
