 Much damage to crops and timber by the recent cyclone was seen by the writer between Andalusia and Rose Hill. where several farm houses were swept away and furniture blown so far no one could identify it where 1t was picked up.

Prntenfa on Colonel steMart.

By a protest by General Foster the War Department has rescinded its or der to Col. w. F. Stewart, of the artillery corps. directing him to pro- ceed to St. Augustine and there oc- cupy the barracks.
 Colonel Stewart has, since he was transferred from Fort Barrancas, been at Fort Grant, Arizona, where no troops are stationed and this was done on account of the fact that he has been found objectionable to every post at which he was stationed and particu- larly at Fort Barrancas. His friends interceded, however, and secured the Issuance of an order transferring him from the marooned post to St. Angus tine. z

SHOT AT MOTORMAN
ACTS OF LAwLEssNEss CONTINUE
 IN PENSACOLA.
Imported Employees of Car Company Sworn in as Deputies and Are Permitted to Carry Weap-
 ons Concealed.

Pensacola, Fla, May 5.-(Special.)- The lawless element among the strike sympathizers is again in evidence. not withstanding the fact that an injunc- ton has been issued by the Federai Court.
 Following the attmept to burn the Big Bayou trestle of the Pensacola Electric Company, the stoning of cars during yesterday and the placing or innumerable train torpedoes on the tracks. an effort was made at a late hour last night to assassinate motor man on a Belt Line car near the corner of Tenth avenue and Intendencia street.
 Two large stones had been placed on the track at that point. and the motor man was compelled to bring his car to a stop and leave 1t to remove the stones When engaged in this act person secreted behind fence fired at him. The bullet went wild and the person fled.
 The point where the attempt to kill the motorman occurred is near what is known as old Wright's mill, and in a section of the city where detection would be almost impossible.
 The motorman, after removing the stones. boarded his car and came to the city where he reported the mat ter to the police, but so far no clue has been found.
 Sheriff Van Pelt today deputized thirteen of the imported men, which gives them the right to carry weapons concealed. This was done upon re- quest of the Pensacola Electric Com pany and the men will be used in guarding the street car barns, the power house and the cars.
 The company is now using large number of men from Savannah and other points where Stone and Webster own railways, and it is believed the at- tacks on the cars are being made Tn an effort to frighten the new ones.

ranging a suitable reception for Mr..

which began the previous night, threat
ened to mar or wholly prevent the

expenditure of labor the committee
completely rooted over with canvas a
good share Of the gardens, including
long walks and paths, SO that Mr. Taft
and the other guests were enabled to
move about freely, fully protected
from the storm.

obligations under which China had
been laid by the remission of the Box

Mr.. Taft was cheered and applauded
for several minutes when he said:
when l was here little more than
two years ago there was just little
bit of mist, a little bit of fog, in the
clear sunshine of our friendship But
we gave assurances at that time which
on the one hand and on the other there
is every evidence that the mist has
cleared away. The boycott is thing
of the past. 1t is a closed episode
Two young Chinese ladies bore for
ward a massive silver bowl and pre-
scented it to Mr.. Taft as memento of
his visit The bowl, which was a rare
specimen of Chinese silver work. was
inscribed, presented to the Honorable
William H. Taft, Secretary of War of
the United States of America as a Me-
mentO Of the Garden Party Given In
His Honor by the Chinese Residents

COpiOus comments were printed by
the eastern press upon the reception
by the Chinese to Mr.. Taft and its
significance as a tribute to the man
and as renewal of the old time bonds
of amity between the nations.

THE YOUNG REPUBLICAN.

In a business sense the young voters
who have come forward since 1904 have
more at stake than any other class in
rendering a right decision. Their ac-
tive lives are ahead. They have more
years to live, and are now laying the
foundations of their business careers.
National policies and conditions are of
the highest consequence to them. Per
Aaps they are farmers. If so, let them
ask the older generation how farmers
Jared under the last Democratic admin
istration. Let them take the market
reports of to-day and compare them
with the prices that prevailed when Mr..
BRYAN made his crusade for free silver
and hurled defiance at President Cleve-
land because he stood by the gold
standard. At the same time Bryan de-
nounced the Republican party for its
protectionist as well as sound money
position. Perhaps the first voter is to
engage In manufacturing or mining, rs
wage-earner or otherwise. Does he
want his American rate Of wages and
the Industry he chooses reasonably pro-
tected against foreign competition? II
he does Mr.. Bryan's leadership will
take him in the opposite direction

CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.
Democratic Party Cannot Claim I'm
sullied Virtue as to Source of It's
Revenues.

Revenues.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
Speech
''Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms
an accomplishment the more notewor-
thy in the light of Mr. Bryan's reiter
ated criticisms of contribr Ions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
of New York Republican Legislature
in 1906 passed statute prohibiting
corporations from making any political
contributions directly or indirectly, and
providing that officers, directors or
stockholders participating in or con-
senting to the violation of the law
should be guilty of criminal offense.
And l know of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub
licity of campaign contributions and
for the prevention of corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were not
promises of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments by a party
in power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, of course, be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms, but they were
enacted by a Republican administra-
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions by cor
porations. Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted express
sion Of the popular will lie at the foun-
datfon of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguarded. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity of and accounting for
campaign contributions in connection
with federal elections. But 1t must
fairly be recognized that the skirts OF
neither party have been clean. If we
search Mr.. Bryan's following we shall
find not few who have sinned, and
also those who, If we may judge from
their local activities, are still unrepent-
ant. The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of it's revenues or
it's readiness to receive them"

The Tide of Prosperity.

The tide of prosperity may ebb and
flow, but the great waves Of industrial
wealth will continue to grow in vol
ume with ever-increasing comfort and
happiness to our contented people, who
will soon number 10O,OO0,0OO. And be-
cause of our intelligent and skillful
labor, made so because of good wages
and good living, we shall make better
fabrics and build stronger structures
that in spite of their higher cost in the
beginning will be cheaper in the end
and will be wanted by the people in
every corner Of the earth. So that we
shall capture the markets of the world
in greater volume without ever sacri-
ficing our home market, the foundation
of our national wealth and progress

LABOR IN DEMOCRATIC STATES.

Into Cringing Dependencies.

Into Cringing Dependencies.
That there's "rift within the lutte"
of the Gompers proposition to deliver
the labor vote of the country to Dem
ocracy is becoming more apparent.
While Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Gompers are
making special appeals to labor, neither
refers to the deplorable condition of
laber in the Democratic South. Mr..
John P. White, for six years president
of the Iowa United Mine Workers, and
now one Of the national officers of the
United Mine Workers Association, who
investigated mining labor conditions In
the South, is not so reticent. In a re-
cent address to Local Union No 81 Of
Abba, Iowa, he told Of prosecutions of
labor In Alabama where coal miners
strike was in progress. He Is reported
as saving: 1.-THE miners of Alabama
have been subjugated until majority
have become cringing dependencies. AL
most daily some of the laboring men of
that State were mercilessly shot down
for daring to assert their rights as
American citizens. Ninety-one members
of the Mine Workers Association were
thrown into Jail without having COM
mitted any crime other than becoming
members of the organization" Ala
