Too Big n Job For One Man.

EIba Clipper.
 MT. Bryan seems to be laboring un- der the impression that he has the con- tract to plan and buiid the entire Dem- ocratic platform and raise all the is- sues that are to come before the peo- pie This is pretty big job, for one man. too big. we think. for the whole party to be willing that one man should have the whole job. MT. Bryan's plat forms have always proven too weak for a majority of the voters to stand on and there Is no reason to hope for anything better in the next, if he builds if.

shiping Ice to Milton.

Pensacola ice manufacturers who' IL is claimed, have been shipping ice to Milton, twenty miles distant. and sell ing it at the rate of 30 cents per hum dred pounds, retail. while they charge 60 cents per hundred here, claim that they have nothing to do with the price of ice in Milton or the delivery Of 1t in that place.
 The Moore Ice Works seems to be the only factory shipping ice to that place, and the manager states that 1t is only occasionally that he ships. and then only in car load lots. He claims that he has no idea what the price Is thert. by retail and furthermore that he does not care, as it does not con- oern him in the least, whether 1t Is sold at 50 cents per hundred, or given away, as he is interested only in dis posing of his product at suitable prices and in carload lots.

PENSACOLAMYSTERY
BELIEVED MURDER WAS COMMIT.
 TED NEAR FORT.
Cries Are Heard, Bat investigation Does Net Reveal Source of Tfouble-News of
 pensacoDu.

Pensacola, Fla. Aug. 3-(Special.)-- Much interest Is being taken here in a story which reached the city this morning from . point near Fort Pick ent on Santa Rosa Island. Parties there heard screams of ''Help." Don't mur- der me-" and, "Oh. you are killing me-" about ? o'clock this morning. The last exclamation of the party being tor tured was as though the man was be- ing ch9ked or suffocating.
 Those hearing the screams quickly dressed and went to the point from whence came the cries for assistance, but they cou-d find no trace or clue, so they returned to their homes. Just after daylight three men were seen off Fort Barrancas in e sail boat. They came in close to one of the wharves and one of the men It the fort heard them talking regarding whether they would land or not. This continued for few minutes. when one of the men said: If we land It will give the whole of us away" With that the trio took a drink from bottle of whiskey and sailed down the harbor.
 It Is the belief of some that murder had been committed on the island, and the body thrown into the harbor.
 After Contractor Storrie.
 The officials of the city are after Sewerage Contractor R. c. Storrie. and a thre at has been made that unless the streets, where he has placed sew CTS. are placed in good condition. that the work will be done by the city and deducted from the amount to be paid him. This was brought up at meet ing of the Board of Public Works this morning, when one of the members spoke of the deplorable condition of the streets, and stated that the con- tract for the sewerage work called for the streets being placed by the con- tractor in the same good condition as they were before the excavations were made.
 At prasent streets, which were before as hard and level as asphalt. are In such condition that they cannot be travelled except with difficulty. and the Board proposes that the contractor be compelled to live up to his contract. The street superintendent was tn- structed to make up list of the streets where sewers had been placed and which are in bad condition and to serve notice upon the contractor to live up to his contract and repair them. If he does not, the Board will have the work done, and call upon the Bond Trustees to withhold such amount as has been expended from the money due the contractor.

. The Investigating Commission has rested from its labors this week in so far as the examination ur witnesses was concerned. A quorum has been present, but thre eof the members have been absent upon urgent personal business. The next session for the examination of witnesses vii be held August 20. and 1t is the purpose of the Commis- sion to examine all the witnesses be- fore taking another breathing spell. It is now thought that the investigation will be completed by the latter part of September. After all the evidence is taken there will yet be a great work before the commission in writing the report The report together with the testimony taken will make a large volume, probably two of them. It will be free. however from the banality usual with State documents. The pub lie demand for an investigation of the affairs of the Internal Improvement Trustees will be transformed into lively interest in the findings of the Commission. hence the forthcoming re- port is anticipated with sensitive con. cern.

cent session for a franchise tax law against great odds made . place for him In the estimation of all who watched the contest. although the measure failed
 Senator Beard is of an entirely dif- ferent type. He Ia mentally we'll equipped. is inclined to be fanaticaI tions of the old South, and believes in the disfranchisement of the negro. which will be he chief issue of his race. During the last session he pro- posed a constitutional amendment to this effect which passed the Senate but was killed in the House.
 MT. Beard contends that the Four teenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution were never legally adopted, and it Is his purpose to press this matter 10 adjudication be- fore the Supreme Court of the United States. His presentation of the sub- ject is so searching and convincing that he will be certain of a strong follow ing on this score. Senator Beard has been prominent in Florida public life many years, while Sen n.tor Trammelfs career has just begun. Senator Tram mell was President of the Senate two years ago, was leader in the last Leg islature in the upper house, and before he was chosen a member of the Senate he served in the lower branch of the assembly.
 Both Beard and Trammell are law yers. the first of Pensacola and the latter of Lakeland.
 BrOward Returns Home.
 Governor Broward returns tomorrow from two weeks in New York and oth- CT cities North. Upon his return he will find on his desk a petition from the Tampa Chamber of Commerce to call an immigration convention to be held in Tampa the second Wednesday in February of the next year. The Tampa Fair will be in progress at that time. and the idea for an immigration convention will appeal to many as be- ing a goSd thing for the State.
 There is a determined sentiment in favor of encouraging immigration. al- though the immigration bill was stoutly opposed during the recent ses- sion of the Legislature The bill pass ed the House, but died on the Senate calendar. The good work that the rail- roads are doing in displaying Flor ida's products and advantages at the Jamestown Exposition will unquestion- ably bring numerous settlers. The op- position to the procurement of State aid for the work will probably throw the burden of this work on the rail- roads and commercial bodies for some years to come. .

monetary standard, with the silver
issue in The balance, and no man able
to predict the outcome, and contrast
that situation with The conditions to-
day, and we can see something of the
differencc-a difference SO great as
to be really startling. Then the far
mrrs of the west and south were bur-
dencd with debt. Then their agricul-
tlWal products were at an exceedingly
Improbable point Then cotton,
wheat and corn and cattle were sell
in" at less Than the cost of raising.
Since that day we have added from
20.000,000 to 25,000,000 people to
our population. We have doubled
and in many cases treblcd and quad
r'upled the volume of business. We
have treblcd the value Of agriculture
al products, and against the poverty
of the farmers of that year is the
abounding prosperity of today. De-
spite these conditions some good Sc
curiics have fallen to as low price
as prevailed in 1898, Notwithstanding
the vast expansion in industry and
population and wealth. This is part
ly q ease Of Mysteries, and, as already
stated, partly alt outcome Of misman-
agmcnl in some financial institu-
tions, and, of course. 10 some extent
distrnst created by constant agita-
ton against railroads.
"TheSc things, however, are cphem-
elMl in their nature, and must pass
away. The country al heart is sound
and SOLID for abounding prosperity
despite the disorder (which tcmporar-
ily prevails in Wall street and the
interests connected Herewith. The
Manufacturers Record does not by
any means fair to appreciate that In
one sense Wall street is the financial
center Of the country and that its
disorders affhct the wohle body, but
for some years the country at large
has been growing more and more in
dependent of Wall street, and every
year better able to meet its own local
business problems without regard *,

much as the total investment in all
the railroads of the country. Never
before in the history of America
We're the agricultural conditions Of
the country so sound and solid; never
before were the farmers of the south
and the west alike SO nearly out of
debt and with total value of farm

in amount as to be almost beyond
comprehension. Contrast the - ,000,-
100000 which will this year be paid
to American farmers with the total
value Of farm products was - 1885,
100000, or but little more than
onc-third Of the value this year. From
seven years ago, or in 1900, the total
was $4,717,000,000 while this year
the aggregate of 81, 000,000,000 shows
a gain Of $780, 100000 as compared
with 1900 and is almost as great as
the total value Of farm products in
