Let the Council
Stand Firm.

The saloon regulation ordinance,
which was passed a little over year
ago by the city council, is again to
come before that body tonight upon
a report from the committee to
which it is referred. This report will
deal with a recommendation of the
Board of Safety that the closing hour
be made IL o'clock p. m, instead OF
9, as now exists, and fixing certain
penalties for its violation.
II is understood that the report
will be favorable to the boards rec
pmendation. How the council viii
act upon the proposed change is not
known, but it is utterly improbable
that a body of men, such AS compose
the council of Pensacola, can do 9TH
erwise than act adversely upon the
proposed change, and leave the clos
ing nour as at present. sThere is alb
solutely no reason why it should be
changed. and The Journal does not
believe it will be. Saloon regulation
and early closing were advocated by
Ln6 saloon men liJJIO over year
ago, and the council in obedience to
their wishes and proposals adopted
the early closing, and it has been in
operation since that time.
Should the council desire to in
crease the penalty for violation of
the law. there is no reason why such
Increased penalty cannot be incorpo-
rated in the present ordinance as well
as in any substitute that might be
presented.
Every reason now urged to change
the closing 1our and make it later
was known TO the council and fully
discussed and rejected as inconclus-
i've when the ordinance was first
passed. That ordinance has undoubt-
eddy accomplished much good. and is
approved by the best sentiment of the
city, and in the name of that senti-
ment The Journal urges the council
TO stand by its former action and re-
fuse to reverse itself on matter of
such grave import to peaceful and
orderly conditions in Pensacola.

The Killing of
Ex-senator Carrnack.

The whole country was shocked yes
terday to learn of the death OF ex-
United States Senator Carmack of
Tennessee at the hands of a pistol
yoter in Nashville, who shot him to
death on a street in that city, presum-
ably because of an article which had
appeared in Carmack's paper, the
Tennesseean.
The slayer of the brilliant ex-sena-
tor is one Robin Cooper, son of Dun
can Cooper. former newspaper man
and politician, who seems to have
sought in the killing of Carmack- to
vindicate the wounded honor" of his
father and crafty mis- own vengeful
spirit by the same shot AS the dis
patches tell the story there was acrid
political controversy between Carmack
and Duncan Cooper growing out of the
recent state primary, in which Carmack
was defeated as a candidate for gov
ernor.
The editorial reference of the latter
to the former, who had opposed him
In the primary, was sarcastic and pep
perry. and while it might naturally
have frritated and possibly led TO
blows it is inconceivable that in a
civilized man it should have aroused
the blood lust that would be satisfied
with nothing less than the life of his
critic. Carmack was armed when he
met Cooper and his son and while he
did some shooting. too il seems prob
able that he was not the aggressor
and shot only in self defense
The net results of the tragic affair
are a slain man, a widow and or
phans, one more man-killer added TO
the long and terrible list whose bloody
work throws its deep and baleful
shadows over the South ard makes
every civilized land look askance at us
and Colonel Cooper's wounded
honor" which can hardly be said TO
have been cured by the shot that laid
poor Carmack low.
The brutal and senseless code un-
der whose auspices this tragedy &C.
cured might have found some justi-
hcation in centuries gone when man

exaggerated notions of what he called
his honor. but in this age of the world
in the full glare of civilization, no pal
liation can be found for such savagery.
Here in the South we have endured
it for generations and because we
have endured it we are an anomaly,
an anachronism, in modern life and all
the world wonders that we will per-
nit minority contemplate in point
of numbers to continue to impose
upon US the UNANIMOUSLY false standard
of honor and courage that will be sat
isfied with nothing less than murder
to maintain il.
| has been done to us in all our moral
and material interests by this foul
cruel and bloody survival of brainless
medieval methods to settle a simple
personal difficulty, for, without dis
guising words, the outside world
doesn't regard us as wholly civilized
for that reason and we are losing
along every line in consequence.
We talk about the evils and wrongs
imposed upon US by others, by the
tariff, the trusts and an unfriendly re-
publican majority; but until we solve
our own problems of our own creating,
| cleanse our own household of the muir
der stains and our own hearts of the
murder lust we cannot hope to meet
and conquer the enemies from with
out, for he who seeks equity must first
do equity.
Ed Carmack was one of the most
! brilliant and useful men the South of
this generation had produced. anu
while he had his faults they were all
coRdoned by an honest and generous
| heart and an intellect that scintilated
with light and had carried his reputa-
| ton to every part of the Union He
lies dead. slain in the prime of his
powers, a bloody sacrifice to false
! teachings as to what honor and cour-
| age mean and what they demand of
US in the crucial moments of life; and
| IL we are wise We will make this
Nashville tragedy a text for sermons
in every quarter of the South that will
point the way to nobler than the pis-
tol toter's standard to preserve out
honor and save our civilization.
Here is one of the best post-elec-
ton paragraphs We have seen. 1t is
| from the Quincy Times:
Now that the election is over we
| ought TO inagurate the greatest-de-
VeIOpment era that GadSden county
has ever known. There is room here
for fifty thousand more good indus
trious citizens. who will engage in
farming and other pursuits"
And every newspaper in the south
ought to talk the same way. Let us
all break the record, turn our back
on venerated traditions, violate all
precedents and give up the next four
years steadily TO business with just
as little infusion of politics as may
be possible. In other words, let us
have a business administration down
mere for four years and let politics
go hang. We have proved clearly to
ourselves and the rest of mankind
that We can't elect a democratic pres
ident, and having done that much let
us now prove that we can succeed in
business where We fail in politics and
that we can't be diverted from our
purpose to make the South rich and
powerful by little thing like that
what happened" last Tuesday. The
Quincy Times has sounded the key
note.

1t is a matter for general satisfac-
ton throughout the south that the su-
preme court of the United States has
finally settled a vexed question by
deciding in the Berea college case ap-
pealed from Kentucky, that any
state in the union may constitution
ally legislate TO prevent the co-edu-
cation of the white and black races.
And from news items which reach
us from various parts of the north
every now and then We suspect that
this decision will be pretty generally
approved up there also. Supreme
court decision sometimes furnish
highly gratifying solutions of current
problems.

in not paying for her notices in advance, because
she would then be entitled to twenty thousand
