The Brownsville business is now be-
ing resussited in the senate, and one
colored soldier declares, afirms, etc.,
that the white people of that commun-
ity shot up" their own town, although
six reputable witnesses declared be-
fore the grand jury that it was done
by negro soldiers, wearing the uniform
and bearing the arms of the country.
If any more testimony of this charac-
ter gets in the record, it would be
wise for the committee having the
matter in charge to send for a preacher
to have them pray for forgiveness and
then send the OUTFIT to Jail for lying

Why not settle it this way? Let Tam
pa be the Queen City of the Gulf PEN
sacola the Deep Water City, and Key
West the BEST Harbor and most Roomy
on the Atlantic and Gulf" Then they'd
all have what they are contending for
Florida Index.
Here comes another one to try to re-
new q contention which has been settled.
so far as Tampa goes. by a recognition of
her claim. which is to be acknowledged
as the Queen City of the Gulf The Tri-
bune's principal adversary. the Pensacola
Journal. has granted the righteousness of
our claim: the incident is closed. as our
serene diplomats would declare: three or
four buttins-in contemporaries have been
carried OF on stretchers. including Key
West. to judge from the silence of the
Citizens battery since Mayes' heavy fir
ing, so now leave us to enjoy our victory
IN placid forgetfulness OF ancient acri-
rnony and in full consciousness Of our true
glory.
But, by the way. what did The Journal
mean by saying the other day: Now.
watch the Island City go the same way?"
This sounds suspicious and requires ex-
planation.-Tampa Tribune.
Just what The Journal said. ANY
one that disputes the claim of Pensa-
cola TO having the deepest water and
all-round best harbor south of Hamp-
ton Roads viii have to confess they
are wrong, just as the Tribune did.

How to Prevent
the Postal Deficit.

The postal commission, appointed
by congress to inquire into the annual
postal deficit, which amounts to about
ten million dollars, has reported in
favor of higher rates on newspapers
and magazines, and Of more stringent,
OF more properly. red-tape, proceed
ings to allow them admission to the
mails.
This report will not cause much
surprise to those who understand the
conditions that have been existing in
the operation of this postal service.
The very members who conducted this
investigation furnish the cause for
one of the defects in the system that
make it an expense on the govern
ment when it should be self-sustain-
ing
There is no question but that the
postal service should more than pay
for itself, but it will never be done as
long as the government allows the in
discriminate use of the franking priv
lege, and pays such eXhorbitant rates
to the railroads for carrying the mails.
And the recommendation of this COM
mittee that higher rates be placed on
newspapers and magazines will not
make up the deficit.
Thousands of government docu-
ments. many of them absolutely
worthless. are placed in the mails
every day in the year at Washington,
and sent out over the country, and
for these the railroads charge the
same rates as if they were private
matter of individual citizens. There
is no reason for the indisc-iminate
distribution of these documents, even
if the railroads were carrying them
at reasonable rates, but when it is
considered that the railroads are
charging exhorbitant rates for the
carrying of the mails it makes the
case all the worse.
Considering the volume of the bust
ness, ii seems the railroads ought to
carry the mails at cheaper rates, but
if this can not be effected, then the
abolition of the ranking privilege, or
at least the curtailment of its use
will go long way towards making
up this big deficit each year.
AS an exchange wisely puts 1t, if
congress wants to make the post Of
fee pay, the way is easy:
Stop the robbery of the post Office
by the railroads;
Stop the shameful and costly
abuse of the ranking privilege;
stop the graft, and run the postal
service honestly"

The Madison New Enterprise is be-
ginning to see something good in old
John d. Rockefeller. and certainly
there must be a good spot about any
man that could turn thirty-two mil
lion dollars loose at one stroke of his
pen, for such a purpose as the recent
gift of the Standard Oil magnate to
the general educational fund. In a re-
cent issue the New Enterprise says:
1t is the popular thing to cuss poor old
bald-headed John Rockefeller and to de-
cry the methods by which he has ac-
cumulated his immense fortune, but
when we read of his last gift to education
--thirty-two millions of dollars, in a lump
sum-we confess to a belief that he is not
altogether bad and we cannot think that
his immense fortune was given to him
for a purpose.

The st. Augustine Meteor in a re-

papers are reminding members of the
legislature that it Is important that

what 1t wants, and It will, doubtless,

kind of talk. Senator Zim, and The

enlargement of the powers of the
railroad commissioners is the most
important thing that the next legisla-
ture can do for the people of this

The following account of a CONVEX
sation between two prominent Flor
ida politicians. said to have occurred
in Tallahassee recently, is from the
last issue of the Tallahassee Sun:
Mr.. William ]. Bryan of Jacksonville
was IN the city last week, being one OF
the number of attorneys who had bust
ness before the supreme court. Mr. Will
liam II. Milton. of Mariana though not
practicing attorney. was also a visitor
to the capital at the same time. It was
noted as rather coincidence that the
"Bill from the East and the
''Bill from the West should have met
here, though there was no similarity in
the manner of their going. One Bill went
on his homeward way smiling as one
wholly pleased, the other with sad, de-
jected mien, like that which one imagines
to have possessed that other Milton as
he planned his Paradise Lost" If the
imagination could go further one might
hear, by this means, some such converse
ton as this, between the two Bills"
The Eastern Bill-''Why do you think
Watson would make a good Judge?
The Western Bill-'Well, for several
reasons He's good man. a good lawyer,
and good many people want him.
Eastern BiI-''Ah, ha, And who is il
wants him.
The Other Bill-''Wen, the lawyers"
I. e B.-What lawyers. friend?''
T. ". BAH the lawyers"
E. B.-"And who was it first suggested
Mr. watson?'
". Bob, don't know"
E. B.-"Hold on now, don't sidestep.
Just come right out and say which one
Now. this conversation might not have
occurred. and then again It might If it
did not, what's the use to detail it fur
Their? And if it did is there anybody who
doesn't know the answer to that last
question? And after all. the meeting OF
the two Bills" might have been only a
coincidence AS Bernard Shaw saws:
