State of Florida Seeking En-
lightenrnent on Three
Cent Question.
ENGINEER Is NOW
MAKING AN INSPECTION OF
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES WITH
VIEW TO LEARNING If THREE
CENT FARE LAW WOULD BE
JUST OR UNJUST.

Mr.. Frank P Damon. who was re-
GENTLY appointed inspecting engineer
for the railroad commission of Flor
ida, is visiting Pensacola for the
purpose of getting such information as
is necessary to proceed with survey
and estimate of the cost of reproduc-
ing the properties of the Louisville
and Nashville in Florida.
The estimates contemplated by this
survey are for the purpose of rebut-
ting testimony which has already been
taken in behalf of the railroads in the
Scent passenger rate case.
Mr.. Damon says that the work will
be prosecuted as rapidly as possible,
with view to having the matter adju-
Dictated as early as possible.
The L. & n. r. r. Co. is at present
charging cents mile for passenger
service on some stretches which the
commission thinks is too high, while
the railroad claims the right, accord
ing to their charter from the state.
Mr.. Damon says that he does not
think that there is any possibility of
a fiat two cent rate in Florida for
some years, as the railroads cannot
afford TO work on this basis all over
the state.
He said that the track and roadbed
of the L. & N in West Florida was
better than the tracks of the East
Florida roads.
His work will consist of a survey
of the TRACKS and roadbed of the L.
& n. and estimate of the cost of build
ing if built today. This VIII then give
the commission a basis to work on
in figuring the value and operating
expenses of the l.. & NJ, and will en-
able them to decide fairly whether
the railroad can afford to haul pas
sengers for three cents mile.

Gen. I,oud Again Houored.

Under the foregoing caption the New
York Daily North Side News thus
records the distinctions conferred upon
a gentleman who for several years
after the civil war resided in Louisi-
ana:
| "a prominent citizen of the Bronx,
and distinguished war veteran, Cen
eral George 3. Loud, has again been
honored by a reelection, this time by
a unanimous vote, as chairman of the
Grand Army of the Republic of New
YorkTcity, boroughs Of Manhat and
the Bronx, represented in the memo
rial committee by the forty EIGHT posts,
with a membership of about ten thou
sand civil war veterans. General
Loud is often mentioned as the sill
ver-tonged orator of the Grand Army,
and is in demand as a speaker on
patriotic occasions especially. He is
also president of the Mckinley Square
Liberty Pole and Flag Association,
of which Mrs. Mckinley, widow of
President Mckinley, and President
Roosevelt are members; past COM
mander of the Florida q. A. r., presi-
dent of the Third assachusetts Cav
airy Association, and member of the
Empire State Society, Sons of the
American Revolution; and is said to
be the only Union war veteran who
has ever delivered memorial day ad-
dress for the Confederates. General
Loud has been a lecturer for the New
York City Board of Education for the
past twelve years, and more recently
for the Washington, D. c., board"
During most of the time he spent in

Plaquemine, and his late wife was
native of that town. He was promi-
nently connected with the educational

ton of division superintendent of
education.

prosecuting officer who is neither rel.
| alive nor bosom friend of the accused.
In letter to the New Orleans Harle-
quin-Whieh was perhaps the first pa
per to suggest his reeus ation District
Attorney Wax argues that it is his
sworn duty to prosecute this case: that
he has no legal right or authority for
declining to do so, and that he feels
confident of his ability to perform this
duty as fully and conscientiously as if
the accused were an entire stranger to
him rather than friend for whom he
entertains great affection and admira-
ton.
Without for moment doubling the
sincerity of Mr.. Wax's belief that he
can do the state and himself justice in
this case, we do not share his convic-
ton, and we feel confident that intelli-
gent public opinion will dissent from
it. It is rather to his credit than 9TH
erwise that it should be deemed impos-
sible for him to escape the unconscious
influence which friendship would exert
upon him or, any other man in such an
emergency, and from every point of
view it would appear to be better for
Mr.. Wax as well the public interests
involved that he should not appear as
the prosecuting attorney. There is al
ready manifest disposition to thwart
the ends of justice by preventing this
case from being brought to trial. Much
disappointment was openly expressed
by his friends when the East Baton
Rouge grand jury returned an indict-
ment against Judge Favrot, and in the
event that Judge Brunot's decision
quashing the jury venire is sustained
by the supremn court, there will no
doubt be strong hopes entertained in
the same quarters that the new grand
jury to be empanelled will put quietus
on the prosecution by refusing to find
a true bill against the accused. This
method OF handling q murder case can
scarcely receive the countenance of the
law abiding people of Louisiana. The
memory of the dead and the right of
his family to have his good name vim
dictated must be considered as we'll as
the rights of the living, and if the ac-
cused is to be adiudged guiltless or as
having acted under such provocation
as rendered his deed justi6able, the
conclusion should be reached through
the medium of a regular trial and not
by an ex parte or star chamber pro-
ceeding.

Improved Train Service ON the Texas
and Pacific.

anu
The New Orleans Progressive Union,
backed by the press OF that city, is
prodding the railroads with view OF
securing betterment of their service,
and as means of-keeping before the
public eye one of the principal delin-
quencies which it is sought to abro-
gate, the Times-Democrat has for some
time past been printing every day a
list OF the passenger trains which reach
the city behind their schedule time
during the preceding twenty four
hours. There are altogether twenty
five passenger trains coming into New
Orleans each day, and it is very seldom
that fewer than five of these are be-
lated, while the number is frequently
between fifteen and twenty.
Casual observation of this list for
several weeks has indicated that the
Texas and Pacific has s better record
for regular passenger service than
any of the trunk lines running into
New Orleans, and this will be recog-
nized as notable improvement. Some
time ago, and particularly during the
seasons when freight traffic was heavi-
est, the Texas and Pacific habitually
stood at the other end OF the list, and
its passenger trains that reached New
Orleans on time were the exception
rather than the rule. It is a matter
for eongratulation both to the manage
ment OF the road and to the people of
the sections its line traverses that there
has been SO great change for the bet
ter in this respect, and it is to be hoped
there will be continued progress in the
5 anne direction.
