There is q rumOr ahoat about Talla-
hassee which seems well founded on
facts, TO the effect that the Internal Inn
provement Board, which is also the
Drainage Board, is just about to get q
compromise with the L. & N. Railroad.
The rumor has II that they offer that
road 500, 900 cash and 600, 900 acres Of
LAND to withdraw the injunction suits.
II the L. & N. road hold claims they
can now get so much money and land
from, is IL not reasonable to suppose
some of the other railroads will come in
for what the State of Florida has prom
ised them for building railroads in Flor
ida also. We will await the compro-
mise which, it is said, will come about
in few days, before further comment;
but we will ask, will paying the $780,
600 to the l.. & N. release the balance
of cash in hand which is tied up 80 the
drainage gentlemen can dispose of 1t be-
fore it can be again tied up?

Yet the State Is asked 70 take this po-

ton whether the Legislature ought to

question whether the courts will confirm

Washington Verdict.
Those members of the Okeechobee ex-
cursion who are opposed to the Ever
glades drainage scheme and who had
not sufficient opportunity on said ex-
cursion to make such an investigation
as might result in changing their minds,
doubtless felt somewhat uncomfortable
when resolutions were sprung suddenly
upon the party, giving complete en-
dorsement to the scheme.
The object, of course, was to have
these resolutions go abroad over the
State is the deliberate expression of
men who have personally toured the re-
gion and had found from such tour that
the plan was entirely feasible.
The party, Of course, had no opportu-
nifty to make such an investigation in 8
hurried trip through small portion OF
the territory, and it strikes the Tribune
that it was taking an unfair advantage
of the excursionists to seek to commit
them in any such manner.
They were on what was advertised to
be pleasure excursion, but the avar-
icious politician of the present day, and
particularly Of the Broward following,
never allows the higher sentiments OF
hospitality to interfere with his "busi-
ness" when there is a wire to be pulled
The Tribune is gratified to learn that
the Fort Myers Board of Trade, which
gave the excursion, had nothing to dc
with the injection of this political trick
into the program, but that it was the
work of certain particular friends anC
supporters Of the Governor, who simply
couldn't let the opportunity pass Il
frame up something which would assist
them in foOling the people. -Tampa
