The Re-Apportionment Question
MILTON STAR.

There is some discussion going the
rounds of the Press concerning the
REINFORCEMENT of the legislature.
The Times Union is out with sug-
gestion as to how IL should be done,
but we do not like its suggestion,
it does not appear to us TO be entire
" equitable and We are especially
opposed to it because, under it, Santa
Rosa county would lose one represen-
tatiye; our county is growing, the
population is increasing and prosper
ity and progress stare you in the face
wherever you go IN the county, and
we 90 on record now, as opposing any
re-apportiOnment that will cause this
county to lose representative. We
know there are some counties in the
state larger and more populous than
ours. but there is no better county
and there are no better people in the
state; we are willing to give the other
counties what they are entitled to, but
we want to keep the representation
that we have and are entitled to and
it will be only q few years, until by
reason of our great growth and popu-
-Iation, Santa Rosa county will be en-
titled to and be asking for three rep
rseentatfves in the house. AS stated
we do not like the Times Unlon's
plan of apportionment, but we do
like a suggestion that was made in
our presence, a few days since by
Hon. ]. Walter Kehoe. Mr.. Kehoe
was asked: What do you think of
the apportionment suggested by the
Times-Unien?" He promptly replied,
It do not Ike 1.-THE people of the
state are not going TO take to it, and
mark my prediction, the legislature
will not pass a bill appOrtioning the
representation along the line sug-
gested by the Times-UuiOn.' Under that
apportionment, Santa Rosa, Hamilton,
Volusia, St. Johns, Putnam, Lake and
Nassau will each lose one repreSen-
tative Thirty-thFee counties in the
state would simply hold their own and
six counties would gain one represen-
tative; the Times-Union's suggestion
would probably get the support of the
six counties that get an increased
representation unless some other ap-
portionment giving them the same in
crease was propose The seven
named counties that would lose one
would certainly be ACTIVELY opposed
to the proposed plans, While the other
thirty-three counties would gain moth
ing under it and they would most
probably oppose the appOrtionment on
the plans suggested.
My suggestion would be, to amend
the constitution so as to provide that
each county in the state should be a
senatorial district and be entitled to
one senator and that each county, re-
CARELESS of population, have one rep
resentative in the house from the
county at large and one additional
representative for-say every $4,000
Of population or fractional part there

vision that no county should have

Cattle perishinq in Canada.

Toronto, Jan. 25-Though reports
as to the number of cattle which per
ished during the recent snow storms
and intense cold have been somewhat
exaggerated, it now transpires that on

wards of 1000 head nave died. Thou
sands of antelopes were seen walking

Fifty miles west of BROOKS a large
number of cattle have persisted, prob
ably one thousand. At Lathbridge,
Alta. a great herd of cattle number
ing over 1000 who have subsisted for
a month on the bank of river since
the storm commenced have been col

DISPLAY FOR
CARNIVAL
Palafox Street VIII Be
Lighted as It Never Has
Been Before.

One of the new features of the
Mardi Gras celebration this year will
be an electrical display on Palafox
street, and the manner in which the
principal thoroughfares of Pensacola
are to be lighted viii add much to
the attractiveness of the city.
The merchants and business men
Of Palafox street. urged by the Carni-
val Association, have decided to bear
the expense of thoroughly lighting
the street from Garden street south
to Main. A wire will be stretched
across Palafox street at every point
where there is a trolley pole, and
from the wire will be suspended
many incandescent lights.
In addition to these lights, which
will be several hundred in number,
there will also be electrical displays
on many of the buildings, and
together it is expected that Palafox
street will be thoroughly lighted
The additional lights will be main
tanned for four nights, Saturday, Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday.

Ruhher Goods RISING.

New York, Jan. 25.-The prices OF
all rubber goods continue TO increase
owing to the recent action of the
United States Rubber Company, in
advancing all its prices per cent
Owing. however, to the fact that re-
tailers of rubber goods, such as boots
overshoes and other articles of wear
ing apparel which constitutes the bulk
of the companys output, having
placed their orders for the winter
trade nearly a year in advance will
have little effect until the fall. The

This apportionment would increase
the membership in the legislature
from 100 to 126 members, but this is
no objection, the present membership
of the legislature was fixed in 1885;
the state at that time had a popUla-
ton of 269, 493. Florida's population
under the last census is over 600, 900
and representation is supposed to be,
and should be based upon population
The plan suggested by Mr.. Kehoe
seems to be the first equitable ar
rsngement or the matter yet proposed.
Since a change is desirable, why is
this not the desirable change? We
would like to hear from the state
press on the question.

HE WILL NOT INTERFERE.
President Roosevelt Will Not Take
Action In Regard to the Teleg-
raphers' Strike.

Oyster Bay, n. Y. - President
Roosevelt will not concern him
self personally with the telegraphers'
strike, according to the best informa-
ton obtainable here.
Appeals to the president to take
some action looking to a settlement
of the strike were received at the ex-
ecutive offices here Wednesday from
boards of trade and commercial
bodies Of a large number of cities.
The applications were similar in char
acter to those formulated by the Chi
cago board of trade. Each emphasized
the Importance of direct action by the
president.
The communications have been re-
ferred to Commissioner of Labor
Neill. No instructions or recommen-
dations have been forwarded to Mr.
Neill. From the first, Mr. Neill has
been active in an endeavor to effect a
settlement of the trouble.
New York. - There was little
change in the telegraph strike stu
alton Wednesday as far as concerns
New York and other eastern cities.
Both the Western Union and Postal
telegraph companies profess to be
thoroughly satisfied with the progress
made toward normal conditions. On
the other hand, the leaders of the
strikers declare their cause has been
strengthened by the responses to the
calls to go out in many of the cities
where strikes had not already been
inaugurated.
No trouble developed among the
telegraphers employed in the scores
of broker Offices In the financial dis
trict, where, according to the Tele-
graphers' union, many big houses
granted the demands OF their men as
regards wages and working hours.
The news service throughout the east
was practically unimpaired except in
the cases OF two or three smaller cen
ters and the news of the world was
moved to all points
The hope of the strikers that the
Order of Railway Telegraphers would
make common cause with the COM
merclal operators has not been re-
allied.

OLD ORCHARD, Me-,
IS SWEPT BY FIRE.
MANY HOTELS AND RESIDENCES
WERE DESTROYED.
THE LOSS is OVER S5oo,ooo.
Ten Hotels and so Cottages are in
Ashes-The Burned Area Covered
SO Acres Along the Shore
of the Ocean.

Old Orchard, Me.-Nearly half
of Old Orchards summer hotel
section along the shore front was
swept by fire last night, the loss prob
ably exceeding 100000. So far as
known no lives were lost. The Hotel
Fishe, one of the finest on the beach,
valued at $4,000; the Hotel Emerson,
valued at $4,000 with its furnishings;
the Hotel Alberta, the Aldine, the
Lawrence house and half dozen
smaller hotels, together with about 80
cottages, were destroyed within two
hours.
All the buildings were OF wooden
construction and were easy prey for
the flames, which were famed by a
southwest breeze. The Old Orchard
fire department was utterly unable
to handle the blaze and firemen from
Portland, Biddeford and Saco who re-
sponded to calls for assistance were
hampered for some time after their
arrival by difficulty with the hose
couplings.
At 11;40 o'clock the fire was placed
under control.
ue nIS was ulScONeTeu ABOUT .
O'Clock in the upper part of the Olym-
pia hotel annex, which was occupied
by servants employed in the Hotel
Emerson. 1t is supposed that an up
set lamp was the origin of the blaze.
Adjoining buildings containing stores
located along the board walk beside
the Boston & Maine railroad tracks
soon caught fire and from these the
flames jumped the tracks and com
municated with the Alberta hotel and
several other large buildings near the
shore.
An area of so acres along the beach
was soon blazing. In this area were
located some Of the most popular of
the hotels, all of which were filled
with summer guests. Many valuable
summer cottages were also located in
this district and these, too, were
swept by the fire. Most of the guests
managed to save a considerable guam
tity of their personal effects.
The Boston & Maine railroad sta
tion was blown up by dynamite to ar
rest the fire in that direction. The
Hotel Seashore, across the street
from the Hotel Emerson, was also
burned.

EQUITY IN BUeINESs.
Practice of Live-and-Let-Live Princi.
Piles Most Desirable.

Too frequently 1t is noticed that in
the struggle to attain wealth the
rights of the individual are ignored.
Fair dealing is desirable thing as
we'll as most simple and it requires
only common honesty to practice it.
Not alone is there honesty involved
in the matter of selling but also in
the matter of buying. 1t is quite as
dishonoraDle for the purchaser to ex-
act that the seller receive no profit on
an article sold as it is for the seller
to demand an exorbitant price for his
goods
There IS much sound philosophy in
the live-and-let-live gospel This Is
nothing more than an observance of
the Golden Rule that has found ex-
preston in all ages of enlightenment
from the time of Gautama down to
the present. In every day dealings it
is apparent that there is too much of
exaggerated selfishness in evidence,
too great a struggle for the vantage.
There should be spirit of Christian
cooperation that would be just to all
alike. Whole communities suffer
sometimes from the lack of this sense
of equity on the part of merchants
and their customers.
How often Is the complaint heard In
rural districts that the storekeepers
of town charge too high prices for
what they have to sell? How often is
it noticed that where this feeling dom
II hn hot h1rp
town suffers as consequence? 1t is
short sightedness on parts of mer-
chants to require of their customers
more than what may be considered a
legitimate and just profit. In fact, 1t
is poor business policy to follow out
plan of this kind. There are many
towns whose growth has been pre-
vented through grasping tendency
of the merchants to make all they pos
sibly can in few short years, and to
give the people as small an amount of
goods as they will take for their
money. The natural result of a pol
icy of this kind is that the people
seek other towns in which to do their
trading and quite often buy from the
distant mail-order house.
Habits once formed are hard to
break. 1t is quite as difficult for the
merchant to recover from the habit
of making eXorbitant profits as it is
for the patron of the mail-order house
to turn his trade to the home stores.
Should both the merchants and their
customers calmly consider principles
that enter into commerce, and both
determine to practice equity in their
dealings, the merchant to sell honest
goods at honest profits and the Gus
toner to give patronage to merchants
who would practice this principle, it
would be wholesome not alone for
the home towns, but for all the COM
munities.

WAR SEEMS TO BE CERTAIN.
rayed Against Honduras and
Nicaragua.

Mexico City.-A cablegram re-
ceived here from San Salvador says
that Capt. John H. Poe who was at
one time well known as a Princeton
football player and Annapolis coach,
and who recently has been fighting in
the Honduran army, has left Salvador
on the steamer San Juan for San
Francisco, where he purposes to re-
cruit foreign legion" to take part
in the expected war between the Cen
tral American states. Poe held the
rank of captain with the Hondurans.
He was in the artillery branch. He
was recently detained at Managua by
President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, on
the charge of being a spy.
The best sources of information
here unite in declaring that trouble
In Central America is certain. Guate-
mala and Salvador will be arrayed
against Honduras and Nicaragua
President Figuerea. of Salvador, and
President Cabrera, of Guatemala,
have agreed that peace is impossible
so long as Zelaya remains president
of Nicaragua. They will attack him
as soon as the rainy season comes to
an end Figuerea has cancelled an
order sent to England for three gun
boats because they cannot reach him
in time to be of service in the war
He is sending an agent to San Fran
cisco to purchase steamers and mount
guns on them.
Capt. Eysler. who was at one time
an ensign in the American navy and
who is now first officer Of the steamer
Para, trading on the Pacific coast, is
to be offered the command of the Sal
vadoran navy.
General Lee Christmas, formerly of
Memphis, Tenn, who is now in com
mand of the Salyadoran army, accom-
panies Capt. Poe as far as Guate-
mala. There he will attend to the re-
organization of the foreign legion"
which is to be composed of Beers,
Englishmen and Americans.
1t is declared here that foreign in
terventlon Is the only thing that can
prevent the threatened conflict.
Agents of each of the four countries
concerned are now in Costa Rica,
each one endeavoring to influence
that country in his favor 1t is re-
ported, however, that the Costa Rican
government is maintaining its neu-
trality with firmneSS
