Death of d Brilliant Man Who Went
WronC.


Franklin ]. Moses, the former gov
ernor of South Carolina, died in Bos-
ton Tuesday. He was asphyxiated
by escaping fumes from a gas stoove,
but whether he left the jet open by
accident or design is not known. The
deceased was the only son of Chief
Justice Moses, of South Carolina.
After a brilliant career at college
he Joined the Confederate army at
the breaking out of the civil war.
AT the close Of the war he entered the
political field and after serving as
speaker Of the house was elected gov
ernor in 1873.
1t was then his downfall commenc-
ed. Having forsaken the democratic
party and become a republican, he
suffered social ostracism. He vacated
his office as governor and became a
victim of the drug habit. Then he
left the south and settled in New
York. He made a living by writing
political speeches for candidates for
office. He frequented the lowest dens
in Chinatown. He said so in one of
the most remarkable confessions made
by man. Then he was convicted of
theft and went to BlackwelPs Island.

FLoRIoA's INLAND WATERWAY.

Governor Broward and the internal
Improvement board have recently en-
tered into a contract with George F.
Miles, president of the Florida Coast
Line Canal and Transportation COM
pany for the digging of a canal from
Jacksonville to Key West, using the
natural waterways in connection
Herewith, the same to be completed
within five years, the cost of which
is estimated at two million dollars.
This enterprise means much for
Florida and especially at the time
when there is universal complaint
about the extortionate railway and
express rates and the delays in
shipments and especially of perish
able stuff.
Until very recent years the whole
traffic of China, with her four hun
dred million of population, was
done almost entirely by her system
of canals and canals have played an
important part in the traffic of all
lands and now more than ever the
attention of the business world is
directed to them.
While the Panama canal is the most
important just now engaging pub
lie attention the Florida canal is the
longest, covering a distance of over
Eve hundred miles.
Ocala occupies an exceedingly for
Mnate position in the canal zone
the distance between Blue Springs
and Silver Springs is less than thir-
ty miles and the nature of the soil
is most favorable for canal digging,
being mostly soft sand with very lit
tie rock or clay.
II her citizens would show some
public spirit and have these two bod
les of water, one emptying into the
Atlantic and the other emptying into
the Gulf, connected by a canal for
the navigation of small boats such as
now ply these two streams and their
tributaries, public attention would be
directed to it that ultimately it would
eventuate in being enlarged into a
ship canal to which public attention
has been so often drawn.
The New Orleans Times, Picayune,
the Galveston News, the Mobile
Register, the New York Sun, the
Washington Post and other great
newspapers of the country have re-
peatedly referred to the feasibility
and absolute need of such an enter
prise.
1t has been shown that it would
save in distance more than seven
hundred miles going around the Flor
ida reefs and would also make harm
less the risks and perils to life and
property on said reefs.
If the Ocala board of trade wants to
set in movement a proposition that
will result in some actual good it will
do well to turn it's attention to this
proposition.

General eiIchrist and His Pineappies.

What is this about General Gil
christ and his pineapples? Simply
because the general went to the
state fair and handed out few pine
apples to newspaper men, should he
be suspected of trying to buy his
way into their stomachs as governor?
Well, considering how much it costs
to buy ones way into smaller Offices
than that of governor, when it really
comes to a case of actual "buy," if the
general can buy a lot of newspaper
men by simply handing out sour
winter pineapples, he would deserve
the place-from the buying stand
point.
But it is all bosh. The papers have
said some kind things about the gen
eral and he feels tenderly toward
them. Besides, did he limit those
pineapples to newspapers and poll
ticians ?-Orlapdo Star-Reporter
