Bladder troubles almost ALWAYS result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment Of the kidneys. If you are feel

taking DR.. hilner's Swamp-Root, the

1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being

It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures OF the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and

The KNOWNOTHING SPIRIT

florida Is pre-emlnentIy the state
OF native Americans Outside of Key
West aud Tampa, with their large
number of Cuban cigar makers. and
at Tarpon Springs, with its Greek
spongers, Florida's population is
largely native American.
This fact always makes its favor
able impress upon the travelled citi-
zen OF the United States who fingers
long in Florida. 1t is such pleas
ing sensation to be among Ameri-
cans that he does not fail to comment
favorably upon it.
1t is a fact also that had its weight
in the defeat of the immigration bill
before the last legislature. The
average FIoridian hesitates to en-
courage a condition that means Ill
timately the elimination of native
influence, both moral and political.
H knows We gain nothing in morals
from the average immigrant, and
that he soon learns to get busy in
politics,
In nineteen of the northern states
the number of the foreign-born and
their immediate descendants exceeds
the number of the native-born In
the largest cities the number is two
thirds, and even three-quarters.
There are more COhens than Smiths
in the New York directory. New
England. even, is no longer puritan,
but foreign. So is it in the middle
and central west, and not only in the
city and town, but in hamlet and
country.
The average Floridian is not so alb
sorbed in business affairs as to be
able to overlook the loss from a soc
ial, moral and political standpoint
which would result from a large in
tluX Of foreigners. 1t may be that
this is prejudice, but whatever it be
it : here present.
1t IS probably a relic of the old
"Kuownothing spirit of 1856, which,
had it not been for the more impor-
tant issueof slavery and state rights,
the south together with a large part
Of the county would have stood on a
platform Of America for Ameri-
cans forgetful of the fact that we
are all the children of immigrants.
Congressman Frank Clark's idea of
securing settlers for Florida from
the farming sections of other states
in the Union should appeal to us all.
Such immigrants, though largely
foreign, would yet have the advant-
age of having served their "proba-
ton" or novitiate in other states.
