What Governor BrOWaru Did Say

this subject, the Chief Justice, deliver
ing the opinion of the court, after stat
ing the case, proceeded as follows:
"The first question which requires
consideration in the case before us IS;
Was the levee tax imposed in violation
of any contract between the State and
the United StatesH
at is not doubted that the grant by
the United States to the State upon
conditions, and the acceptance OF the
grant by the State. constituted a con.
tract. All the elements of contract met
in the transaction--competent parties,
proper subiect-matter, sufficient consid-
Grafton, and consent of minds. This con-
tract was binding upon the State, and
could not be violated by its legislation
without infringement of its Constitu-
ton" See l6 Florida, 54l-542.
1t will be seen by reference to page
234, section 432, of the Revised Statutes
of Florida, that it is today the duty of
the Trustees of the Internal Improve
ment Fund to drain the swamp and over
flowed lands. That section provides:
"That the Trustees of the Internal I'm
provement Fund shall hereafter fix the
price of the public lands included in the
trust, having due regard to their loca-
ton, value for agricultural purposes, or
on account of timber or naval stores,
and make such arrangements for the
drainage of the swamp and overflowed
lands, as in their judgment may be most
advantageous to the Internal Improve
ment Fund, and the settlement and cult
walton of the land" Section No. 432, Re-
vised Statutes of Florida.
The Supreme Court of Florida, in the
case of Bailey vs.. Trustees 10th Fla.),
has construed that section of our laws
to impose duty upon the Trustees to
carry out the work of draining and re-
claiming the swamp and overiowed
lands.

valuable for the cultivation Of tropical
plants and fruits:
"And Whereas, It is believed that these
lands, II reclaimed, would not only re-
munerate this State for the expense
of such reclamations, but would yield
q considerable surplus above such ex-
pense; therefore,
Resolved by the Senate and House OF
Representatives of the State Of Florida
in General Assembly Convened, That
Congress be requested to grant to this
State all of said lands lying south OF
Carloo-sa- hatchee river and of the north
ern shore of Lake Okeechobee, and be-
tween the Gulf of Mexico and the At
lantic Ocean, on condition that the State
will drain them and apply the proceeds
of the sale thereof, after defraying the
expense of draining, to purposes OF edu-
cation"
Upon the strength of that pledge by
Florida, Congress, in 1850, passed the
Act granting the swamp and overfiowed
lands, in which act it is provided, "That
to enable the State to con-
struct the necessary levees and drains
TO reclaim Cne swamp anu oVo'ho"0"
lands therein, the whole of those swamp
and overflowed lands, made unfit thereby
for cult .ation, which shall remain I'M
sold at the passage of this Act, shall be,
and the same are hereby granted to said
State"
The Act further provides, "That the
proceeds Of said lands, whether from
sale or by direct appropriation in kind,
shall be applied exclusively, as far as
necessary, to the purpose of retaining
said lands by means of the levees and
drains aforesaid"
Here is the contract, which the State
of Florida, in 1850, made with the
United States Governments contract
requiring the State to "reclaim" these
lands. That contract was good in 1850.

ROMANTIC BRIGAND TELLS BRIDE

Cherubina Mauro, his child-wife, hay
ing failed. Cherubina, who is unusually
beautiful and only fifteen, daily receives
letters from the brigand, admonishing
her to keep stiff upper lip, and join
him as soon as liberated.
A thousand soldiers are seeking
Failla in the mountains with warrants
charging him with the murder of two
policemen, kidnapping, Matchmaking and
incendiarism, but Failla is protected by
the populace, that regard him as friend
and benefactor.
Like other popular Italian brigands,
Failla makes speciality of bleeding the
rich and succoring the poor" His last
captive, Baron Bella, yielded him 200.
600 francs in gold ($4O,OOO), and he
says he has now stopped working for q
little while. The policemen were killed
when they made an attempt to disrupt
Failla's New Years party. On this oc.
casion four robbers and six 'brigands'
brides" were caught after being wounded
among them Cherubina, while Failla es.
capped with his money on a fleet horse.
