HOUSE ON RECORD AGAINST
ATTORNEY FOR ]. ]. BOARD

OF the officials who have fun power
20 assess them. He could not think
that Senator TFammeN upon refleC-
ton would insist upon the bill taxing
the corporations two per cent OF their
gross revenue, because this would
amount in all, with state and local
taxes, to nearly thirty per cent OF
their valuation. Corporations des-
plse politics, but are forced in it 10
protect themselves, and should these
bills be passed the people would see
the corporations in politics next cleo
uon as they never were before. It
was objected that while one Of the
bills provided for taxing franchises il
did not provide definite means for
their valuation, and that the rail
roads and the owners of homes in
this state were the ones now who
are paving the taxes of the state.
Numerous other arguments were
made, and Senator Trammell started
an argument at the close in defense
of the bills, which was objected by
Senator Sans, and he yielded to the
suggestion, reSeTving his remarks I'M
til the matter is before the Senate,
though several members of the COM
mittee were desirOUs that he pro-
ceed.

Ter advised that the President hber-
ate them as a revolutionary measure
and this was accordingly done. Uuti-
ma ratio regum. In these peaceful
times, however, it seems idle to re-
vive d question that was settled long
ago. The country has accepted the
idea that the negro was not born TO
rule, and we of the South had better
let it go at that.

HAD

Nathan Caldwell F e |
Against Moving Train
and Was Struck
By Oil Box.

Nathan Caldwell, a colored switch
man, in the employ of the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad, mad his neck
broken last night about II o'clock
when he fell against north bound
freight train No. 10 as it was passing
near GOuilding. 1t is the supFosition
that the oil box OF one of the cars
struck the man on the head with such
force as to break his neck.
Caldwell was one of the switchmen
of switch engine No. SOP. That en-
gine has been on the cotton com
press track and was backing to the
west double track to come to the city,
and had just reached the switch whe
freight No. 10 passed on the east
track. AS the freight train was pass
ing Caldwell jumped from one of the
cars attache dto the switch engine to
throw the switch and evidently
tripped as he fell against the side of
the freight train and was evidently
struck by an oil box

Vote For Ingraham,

To-day will mark the close of about
The tamest and deadest political cam
paign Pensacola has ever witnessed.
What interest there is, which is
mighty little so far as the rank and
file OF the voters is concerned, cen
ters chiefly around the candidates for
mayor and the candidates for alder
man at large from Precinct II and
for precinct alderman from Precinct
IA.
If the "Clean Sweep sentiment
prevails, as The Journal trusts it
will, it will mean the election of the
following:
For Mayor-Walker Ingraham.
For Alderman at Large from Pre-
cinct 12.-Will L. Meyer.
For Precinct Alderman, Precinct A.
Alex Zelius.
These gentlemen are all good citi-
zens and will make good city officials.
Each is a successful man of busi-
ness and each has THAI public spirit
which the people require in public
servant
The Journal trusts that majority
of the voters to-day will mark their
ballots for Ingraham, Meyer, and
ZeHus. They are the "Cleap Sweep"
candidates.

Musical Notes and ExpIosivsa.

Some singular facts have been de-
velOped IN regard to the influence of
musical notes upon explosives. When
an 'inteuse' explosive is approaching
the critical stage and its molecules
therefore are in condition of very
unstable equilibrium. the sudden ernis-
sion Of Il musical note will frequently
bring matters TO n climax and induce
detOnatiOn. 1t has been found that of
certain samples of dry illuminate of
mercury the lowest temperature at
which it would explode was 342 de-
grees T.. and portions exposed to a
heat of $50 degrees for some time. al
lowed to cool and again heated TO that
degree, these alterations being several
times repeated, remained without
change. Yet particles of the same full
inmate placed, as before. on an iron
plate, but at 4 temperature Of 80 de-
grees TO 800 degrees only, would gen
orally explode sharply when certain
notes were sounded near upon q vio-
lin string or a c0rnet With the hu-
man voice 1t was much lore difficult
to obtain an effect of this kind. but oc-
casionaily such an experiment would
succeed Similar results We're noticed
with most of the nitro compounds,
blasting gelatin included.

Bliss Plays Role
of a Common Fakir.

The reference made by Mayor
Charles H. Bliss to The Journal last
night, in criticism of this paper for
labelling his campaign advertising
with the word Advertisement" SO
that the public would know what it
was, stamps him as nothing more nor
less than a common fakir.
On Saturday afternoon late, Mayor
Bliss came to The Journal office with
u lot of campaign matter which he
wanted published. He did not sign
his name to it and he did not want
the public to know that it came from
him. He wanted it to look as though
1t came from The Journal. He want
ed 1t set in the regular news type of
the paper, with a regular news head
over 1t, so that it would have the
appearance of coming from the paper
itself
The only way to run such matter
was to label it-"Advertisement"
which it was. Bliss knows this. So
does everyone else. 1t is not neces-
sary for a person to have had 80
years experience in the newspaper
business" to know that 1t simply in
wolves a principle of common honesty
between a newspaper and its readers
"a principle, however, which Bliss
was perfectly willing to have The
Journal violate if it would only there
by boost his campaign.
The truth of the matter is that The
Journal long ago found Bliss so unre-
liable in statements concerning mat
ters in which he was interested that
for several years it has been a stand
ing rule of the Office that every article
coming from him must have his name
signed to it before it could be pub
lished, or must be otherwise labelled
so as to relieve The Journal from any
responsibility for it.
The Avery case of yesterday morn
ing, in which Mayor Bliss knowingly
and wilfully deceived The Journal, is
simply case in point.
The truth of the matter is, The
Journal has been more than kind 20
Mayor Bliss. It has published his let
ters, his interviews, his addresses to
the council, his articles on any and
every conceivable subject
But The Journal has refused to
deceive the public for him and when
he talks about his go years in the
newspaper business" and attempts 70
arraign this paper for unfairness be
cause it labelled his advertisement,
which HE wanted 10 deceive the pub
&c into believing was real news mat
coming from the paper itself, he
.--aply writes himself down as COM
mon. designing hypocrite land fakir-
and very common one at that

Disfranchisement Legislation.

The Beard resolution providing for
an amendment to the Constitution of
the State of Florida, so as to limit
the right of suffrage to white voters,
passed the Senate last week and is
now before the House for considera-
ton. Mr.. Beard bases the States
right to maintain such constitutional
provision upon the ground that the
suffrage clause of the Federal COnsti-
tuition was never legally adopted ana
therefore the State is not bound to
give the right of suffrage to both
white and cOlOred. Should the Legis-
lature pass the resolution, it will tnen
be submitted to the voters for ratifi-
cation or rejection. If it is approved
by the people, then before the matter
can be definitely settled it will have
to go before the United States Su-
preme Court for final decision. Mr.
Beard made a very able argument in
behalf of his resolution, and was
heartily congratulated upon his splen-
did argument.-Lakeland Sun.

Sees no Reason for IL.

Sees no Reason for Ii.
Without turning to the Constitution
and going through the dry and unin-
tereSting language that makes up its
thousands of metaphors, we see no
earthly reason why the Florida Iegls-
lature should pass a bill disfranci.is
ing the negro race and forcing the
issue upon the Supreme Court of the
United States. Senator Beard, of Es-
Gambia, has introduced such a l.
and it passed the Senate by a very
large majority. Florida seJ..Uu the
race question years ago, and it was
done quietly ana with lasting effect.
And because there - now no neces-
sity for performing a public duty that
was accomplished thiry-one years
ago, one that serves AL practical pur-
poses, is our reason Tor opposing
Senator Boards measure. We have
heard of the Alabama plan, the North
Carolina plan, and various other plans
to remove the negro as a factor in
politics, but in our opinion Florida
attained the object sought Just as
effectively and with less noise, as any
State, and no apprehension is now
felt on account of that abundant dis
play of sound sense and wisdom BY
gaining the ascendency the white race
simply Obeyed natural law, and
government by them has come to
stay.
But supposing. for the sake of az
gument or any other idle reason, Sen
ator Boards bill should pass and be
ratified by the Supreme Court, what
effect would it have on the political
complexion of this State? None what
ever. If the negroes are diSfranChiS-
ed Florida viii remain democratic
and if they are not diSfranchised the
State Will continue just as strongly
so. OF course, this discussion sim
ply includes che question in so far as
II effects the political conditions in
this State, and TO that extent the
measure amounts 10 an absurdity in
our opinion. 1t may be its author.
who has evidently given the matter
serious consideration, has a broader
purpose in view, and Senator Boards
ambition to wreck an obsolete amend
ment to the Constitution will be
watched with absorbing interest. But
while this instrument has been vio-
lated, IL is veneUated, and il Will be
no easy task to convince those vested
justices that there is ANYTHING in i
that should ne abridged or stricken
cut. The Constitution Will remain as
1t is, in all probability, although when
some of its amendments were enact

ANNEX H0N0RS AT PHILADEL-

Eli Men Furnish Sensation of the Day
by Phenomenal Work in the
SheIIs-Time Is
6:55

BY Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-The
Yale university Junior eight-oared
crew furnished the sensation of the fifth
annual regatta of the American Row
ing association here today by first win
ming the race for second eight-oared
shells and then defeating the fresh and
supposedly strong Cornell juniors.
This was one of the closest races of
the day, the Ithacana losing by only
half a length. Yale's time for the
course, one mile and 800 yards, was
sos, two seconds slower than the rec
ord made by Cornell Juniors two years
ago. Yale had earlier in the day beaten
the Harvard and Pennsylvania Fresh
men by four lengths.
The Cornell crew caught the water
first and drawing a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
led the other colleges over the first
third of, the course. Then Yale began
to crawl up and at half the distance
was half a length ahead of Cornell
with Pennsylvania two lengths further
back and Georgetown hopelessly
beaten.
One other exciting incident was the
fight for second place in the race for
second eights between the PennSylva-
MIA and Harvard Freshmen. For three
quarters of the way the two shells
were side by side, but in the last one
hundred yards the crimson youngsters
proved the stronger.
The New York clubs carried off the
greater number of first places. The
New York Athletic club was first in
the race for first eights, second single
sculls and first doubles. The Metro
politan Rowing club, also of New York,
won the first pair oar shells. In the
race for the first eights the New York
A. G. defeated the Bachelor Barge club
and the University of Pennsylvania and
in so doing made record of 635. Sum-
mary:
First double sculls-New York Ath-
letic club won, Pennsylvania Barge
club second, West Philadelphia B. C.
third; time. $3.50.
First four sculls-Centipede, Phila-
