When, for the second or third time,
certsin Official examination papers sent
out 10 the several counties BY express
from the Office Of State Superintendent
mysteriOusIy disappeared, the Ofense
was traced directly TO one DIR. Jerry, q
negro Of Tallahassee, and he was ar
rested and held TO answer the grand
jury. Everybody expected that body
to indict the culprit, tor the evidences,
20 far as the public was informed, was
almost conclusive. The fall term Of
court passed without any presentation
of the matter. and many citizens, Of
both races, haue endeavored to find out
why no action was taken.
After diligent inquiry, the only ex-
PLANTATION that has been made, or that
could be learned, was that the articles
30 stolen possessed no intrinsic value,
and therefore no prosecution for their
theft could be maintained. If this
was the reason OF the failure of the
grand jury TO act in the matter, then
all we have TO say is that it is high time
that law be made TO fit such cases.
The accused negro, to whom we have
previously referred in these columns,
was heard to boast before the grand
jury convened, that he could not be
and TO threaten that if he
was actually arraigned for the ofense,
he would tell all he knew" and in
timated that his disclosures would in
volve others, including some who were
thigh up" and more guilty than him
self. That he was guilty, neither he
nor any one else has ever denied 50 far
as we have learned.
This negro, aside from his connection
with the stealing of the examination
papers, in selling copies to applicants
for examination, is disturbing ele-
ment In this community, stirring up
strife and i'll feeling between the races
and melting the ignorant and unthink-
ing Of his race TO misbehavior towards
the whites. His wife, who seems TO
think herself better than the other
negro women Of the city, also, it is
raid, has attempted to organize the
iomestic servants of the city into a
Iociety antagonistic to their employers.
The report comes no US upon ap-
excellent authority that the
IerTys were driven ont of Gainesville
or stirring up strife between their race
md the whites!
We have said before that we be-
ieve this negro to he a menace TO the
'eace and good order Of this scommumty,
nd have been most heartily commend
d by some of the most respected and
rominent negro citizens Of Tallahassee
or our plain speaking. We repeat the
barge, and we hope that the time may
ONE when he will get what ia coming
o him, and when Tallahassee will be

wooLeRoWERs' CONVENTION.
Fierce Attack on Presidents Forest
Reserve Policy.

Helena, Mont.-If Tuesdays session
of the forty-fourth annual convention
of the National Woolgrowers' Associa-
ton is to be accepted as rejecting the
views of the stockmen and sheepmen
of the West bitter campaign is to be
waged against the announced policies
of President Roosevelt and his advisors
for the federal control of the public
range.
The woolgrowers will send a delega-
'tion to Washington to oppose any leg
islation by this Congress in carrying
out the Presidents recommendation.
A considerable number of delegates
have expressed a determination to op-
pose the reelection of United States
Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyom-
ing, as president of the Woolgrowers'
Association, because of his advocacy
of the administration grazing policy.
The session was characterized by a
bitter address against the government
regulation of the public range by
Thomas ]. Walsh, a Helena stockman,
lawyer, and later Democratic candi-
date for congress, who criticised es-
pecially the action of the administra-
ton is putting into effect what is
known as the license system OF graz
ing upon forest reserves.
The attendance at the convention is
large, the greatest, in fact, in the his
tory of the association. After invoca-
ton, formal addresses of welcome
were made by Governor Toole and
Acting Mayor Wendell, Frank P. Hag
enbarth of Idaho, responding. The
usual committees were appointed, fol-
lowed by the annual address of Vice
President Wilson of Douglas, Wyo,
who congratulated the association
upon the prosperous past and bright
future of the industry.
Mr.. Walsh then addressed the con.
vention. He asserted that efforts were
making to befog the public mind on
the real issues and held that the policy
of forest preservation was not at
stake. He said the people of the West
had gratefully accepted Roosevelt's ad
ministrations, but they felt they knew
better what is for their own good than
does he or any departmental clerk. He
asserted that it was paternalism gone
mad to charge that the cattlemen did
not know their own interests, and de-
scribed as a distrust of the people ey.
cry argument advanced in favor of the
new departure. Tne session closed
with an address by Governor Brooks
of Wyoming on "The Open Range"

Coal Roads Ask Delay.

Washington.-The coal carrying rail-
roads who are required under an act
of Congress to dispose of their coal
properties by May 1st next, have sub
mitted to the attorney general a prop
osition looking to a postponement OF
the date of enforcement of the law
on account Of the recent financial dis
turbance. The proposition was sub
mitted through R. w. Deforest of New
York, general counsel of these rail
roads. The roads represent that, ow.
ing to the financial situation, If they
carry out the law 1t will result in sac
rificing their property at prices greatly
below its actual value.

German criticises Roosevelt.

Berlin.-In the course of an interpel
lation in the reichstag in reference "a
the high rate of discount charged by
the Imperial bank, Count Won Kanitz,
Conservative, suggested that President,
RooSevelt's threats against the
trusts" was responsible for the critl.
cal financial condition" He added that
the opponents of the trusts must rec.
ognize that interference with the finan.
cial activity of the United States,
which is based on the operations Of
the trusts, means interference with the
entire economic situation in America.
Americas error has been that she
allowed the trusts to go so long with.
out interference" said the speaker.
Continuing, the speaker expressed
his opinion that the United States will
need much more money, and this will
come from Europe. He then asked
what means would be adopted to pre-
vent this outflow, which even q high
bank rate of discount could not keep
back.
He suggested a moderate return to
bimetallism by issuing in Germany sill
yer coinage to the amount of 25 marks
per capita, which he said would i'm.
prove the situation. He upheld the
method of the Bank of France, which
issues silver coinage to the value of 40
marks per capita of population, as
model in this connection, declaring
that this system permitted France to
have such an enormous gold reserve
The shortage of money, according to
Count Won Kanitz, made the restora-

To Leave Cuba Next Year.

Washington.-As far as he can, Sec.
retary Taft has committed the govern
ment to a promise to withdraw com
pletely from Cuba in the beginning OF
the spring in 1909. This pledge is con
tanned in a letter to the President
transmitting the report of Governor
Magoon for the past year.
After pointing out that the report
from the governor shows the condi.
tions in Cuba to be encouraging, Sec.
retary Taft says:
ut was hoped by some that the
census might be completed in Septem
Der last. | did not think so, and |
am not at all surprised to learn thai
the census has not yet been completed
and probably will rot be until April
or May. This will postpone the loca!
elections until June, the presidential
election until December and the in
stallation of the President and Con.
gress and the turning over of the is
land until about March or April OF
1909.
This is in compliance with our
promise when we assumed temporary
control of Cuba, and it seems to me
that we ought to allow nothing to In.
terfere with carrying out that promise
There are important interests that
would be glad to delay our stay there
for years, but good faith and good
Judgment require us to leave at the
time appointed"

Sad Event for Drummer.

Although a good-sized crowd of
horse buyers and traders from Chica-
go and the surrounding country at
tended the regular monthly horsesale
here yesterday, the day fell fat as a
market day on account of there being
such a noticeable lack Of good sound
horses.
The above kind. 1t is said, are get
ting to be a scarce article, and where
one is found there is usually a farmer
holding on to him. and he cannot be
bought for love or money. The farmer
is getting so that there is nothing too
good for him, which fact is keeping
many good horses out of the market.
Possibly twelve or fifteen horses were
sold and exchanged hands, but few of
these were of the higher quality.
