THE FARRIS BILL.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Farris,
OF Duval, entitled An Act to speed
lily settle and determine tn etrust i'm
posed upon the trustees of the inter-
nal Improvement Fund, and to finally
discharge such trustees" is a wise
measure, calculated to dispose of the
entire controversy now pending, and
to do so in the courts of Florida, and
not in the Federal courts, to which
the railroad land grant claimants
have resorted for relief.
A judicial determination of all
the vexed questions which for the
past few years have caused so much
controversy and litigation. accompan-
led by enormous expense. seems to
be a solution of the situation most
earnestly to be desired, not only by
the people of the state whose sub
stance is in great danger of useless
waste, but by the trustees, whose eff
forts to administer the fund accord
ing to their Interpretation of the
terms of the law have met with con-
slant and determined opposition. ! :
The trustees began the controversy
by solemnly declaring that the sew
longing to the fund TO railroad and
eral legislative grants of land be-

The state pardoning board is al
ways doing something nice. About
their latest caper Is to pardon a man
convicted of selling liquor in a dry
county, who was convicted. fined and
sentenced to serve six months in the
county Jail. He had been convicted
several times before, and the judge
thought to give him a sentence severe
enough to make law abiding
sitizen out of him, but before he had
commenced on his Jail sentence, the
pardOning board set him free. Very
little use to punish crime, pay court
costs, ETC.. until some change comes
over the pardining board or until the
personnel of the pardoning board is
changed. There must be a change
somewhere. ..

longing to the fund to railroad and
canal companies for the purpose OF
aiding in the construction OF trans
portation lines were imperative and
void, by refusing to obey the legisla-
tive requirement that they should
perfect the grants by conveyanees OF
the lands granted, and by announc-
ing their purpose to save the lands
for the people - And this, in the face
of fact that such purposes had been
declared by the Supreme Court OF
the state and the United States to be
proper and legitimate purposes for
the execution of their trust, under the
terms of the law creating it, They
then proceeded, by means of forced
sales at sacrifice prices, to turn the
lands they proposed to save" into
money for the purpose of expanding
the money in a wild and impossible
scheme for the drainage of lands i'm
possible to reclaim without untold
millions of expenditure, and which
were not likely to be needed for pur-
poses of occupation and settlement
for several generations yet unborn.
This action on the part of the
trustees naturally caused the claim
ants of lands under the legislative
grants to take steps for the protection
and enforcement of their rights, and
they went into the Federal courts,
seeking to restrain the trustees from
wasting the lands and their proceeds
until the rights of all parties in in
terest could be. iudicially determined.
Large sums of. money, the proceeds
of sales. are, now tied up, and the Iiti-
cation is still pending, and likely tol
cause much additional expense and
delay before it can be ended and the
rights of the respective parties in in
terest finally settled.
Thus, it wiz be seen. the prime
purpose Of the Farris bill Is to secure,
with as little delay as possible, from
the home courts, final adjudication
of the several vexed questions invol-
we'd, viz:
First, as to the validity of the sew
eral legislative land grants.
Second, as to the existence of any
trust resting upon the fund to which
the land grants, or any of them,
were made subject.
Third, as to which of the land
grants, if any, are entitled to prior
ity of Satisfaction; and
Fourth, as to the legal and proper
disposition of the remnant of lands
and money remaining in the fund.
For the suggestion of this simple
and effective method of forever and
speedily disposing of all this trouble |
involving the Internal Improvement
Fund the people of Florida are in
debted to the wisdom and foresight |
OF their chief law officer, Attorney
General Ellis, and should his sugges-
ton be adopted by the enactment of |
this bill into a law, the interests of |
the people would remain, very pro-
perly in his hands as their chosen
legal representative. - Tallahassee

ADDRESSING LETTERS
is NOW A PROBLEM
Change in the Manner Has
Been Suggested.
WILL HARDLY BE MADE.

Although there has been much agita-
ton among a few recently fayoring a
change in the manner of addressing en-
velopes. that it might aid the railway
postal clerks in their work. no such
step is probable. The clerks say that
the new address giving the name Of
the state, town and then the addressee,
would require as much labor as the
present address, because they would
lose time in changing from one custom
TO the other. AS addresses stand at
present the town and state are given
last and the clerks eyes have been
trained to always look at the bottom
of the letter and not the name of the
addressee as is commonly thought. The
state generally catches the clerks
eye and he Immediately throws the
mail TO the proper sack. There is not
one case in one hundred where the
clerk reads the entire address. he mere
ly looking for the state and If there is
some question about this being correct
he looks at the name of the town and
sends the letter where he thinks prop
er.
Last year there were eleven million
letters sent to the dead letter office,
owing to improper addresses. To all
persons now sending a dead letter &c
the office in Washington. the depart
ment is sending a blank properly filled
out, illustrating the best means of ad-
dressing envelopes.

but recommends that the name and
address of the sender be placed in the

officials in their work of tracing the
senders and owners of stray letters.
In the eleven million letters last year
sent to Washington, $4,000 was
found.
