AN ABSURD EXPLANATION

The most impOtent explanation we
have ever read appeared on March
9TH inst, on the seventh page of the
Tallahassee Ego, which, while abound
ing in obfuscation and observation
humorously calls itself the Sun. Per
haps the explanation, though tedious
ly lengthy and very laborious, was in
tended as a bit of humOr, as, when
boiled down" it is simply absurd.
In brief it is in substance as fol-
lows: When Mr.. Stockton, on June
16, 1892, wrote that famous letter to
Mr. Flagler, the latter had succeeded
with his millions in making a finan-
cial wreck of the Times-Union, which
Mr.. Stockton was conducting, and the
letter related chiefly to Mr.. Stockton's
efforts to buy the outstanding stock
and bonds of the Times-UniOn for the
purpose Of turning them over to Mr..
Flagler TO complete the sale Of that
paper to him. The Ego argues that
it was solely in reference to these eff
forts to purchase stocks and bonds
that Mr.. Stockton used the express
sions, q very much deplore that any
thing has arisen to displease and
cause a lack of condence in US, =
and trust in the future that you will
have no cause TO complain of our
management"
Whoever heard of a newspaper
man, as Mr.. Stockton then was, using
the word, management" except in
application to the conduct of his news
paper? especially as in the same let
ter an attempt was made to explain
the Times-Union's attitude towards
Judge H. L. Mitchell as a candidate

English men and women who came
here from Scotland especially to see

short stay at the Bermudas, came to
Knights Key where they boarded the
train and made the trip over the ex-
tension as far as Miami and back
again.
They had a delightful trip and ex-
pressed amazement at the success Of
the stUpendous undertaking.
They Joined their yacht here and
will proceed oD a tour of the West

cHINA's CRUEL EXECUTION

standing in the tub is a terrible
form of punishment practiced in Chi
ma. This consists of a huge, vatlike
tub, with a hole in the lid, through
which the culprit's head prOtrudes. At
the bottom of the vat is a thick layer
Of unslaked lime and seven bricks pill
ed upon each other. AS he mans
hands are tied behind his back, Re
can do absolutely nothing to ease him
self in any way. He stands in agony
in this position all the day. He con
tinues it through the lonely night.
The second day one of the bricks is
removed from under his feet. A
small quantity of water is at the same
time poured into the lime, which be-
4 rs to work and send up it's nOXious
fumes to his face. This is repeated
each day until the last brick has been
taken away, and his feet are in the
quicklime, which burns the flesh more
s&vagely and with a fiercer pain than
ordinary fire would do. With strangu
latiOn at the neck and a terrible
burning of the lower parts of his body
the man dies in eXcruciating agonies

UNIQUE MARRIAGE

In Sumner county, Tennessee, lives
an irish magistrate, a man of liberal
education, and a full quota of that
mother VII fer which his people are
noted
A short time ago a negro pair nam
ed Jim and Bet called upon the squire
to be united, "for better or for worse, -
probably the latter. Having had
some notice of their coming he pre-
pared and actually used this unique
ceremony:
Jim, will you take Bet
Without any regret,
To love and to cherish,
Till one of you perish,
And is laid under the sod,
So help you God?"
Jim having given the affirmative
answer, the squire turned to Bet:
'Bet, will you take Jim,
And cling to him,
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin.
Holding him to your heart
Till death do you part?"
Bet modestly acquiesced and the
newly married couple were dismissed
with this topper over ALL"
Through life's alternate Joy and
strife,
now pronounce you man and wife.
Go up life's hill till you get to the
level,
And salute your bride, you rusty
black devil

And a little child shall lead them
Out of sorrow and despair;
Out of trouble and of grieving,
To the meadows bright and fair.
Yes, a bright-eyed lad or Iassie,
With a merry, smiling face,
Comes to lead the weary parents
To the land of love and grace,
And a little child shall lead them,
To the land where blooms the rose;
To the perfume-laden gardens,
Where the light of laughter CLOVIS;
Where all life is fun and loving,
Yes, q child shall lead them there;
Where they'll loose the bonds of trou
bic,
And they'll slip away from care.
And a little child shall lead them
To life of pure delight;
Where the sweetest music's Laughter
And the sun shines ever bright;
Where all life is love and frOlic.
Where all tears are quickly dried
Yes. a little child shall lead them
To a land where joys abide.
And a little child shall lead them,
Out of quarrels and of strife;
Out of bitterness and envy,
To a calm and peaceful life.
Yes, little child shall bless them
With a baby's merry arts,
Bringing comforts to their bosom
And a gladness to their hearts.

that it was neither a friendly nor a
political letter." although it contain
ed an unmistakable apology and con-
siderable reference to the political

This letter was written to Mr..
Flagler on June IS. 1892. The Times
Union and Citizen were consolidated
on September 8, 1897. Will the Sun

two months and twenty-five days for
Mr.. Stockton to get that stock togeth-

FLORIDA AND THE CONVENTION

An up the state paper advises all
who do not freely cOncede that Mr.
Bryan will be nominated at Denver
next November to leave the democrat
ic party.
That paper does not seem to realize
that there may be many faithful dem
ocrats in Florida, VINO entertain grave
doubts of Mr.. Bryan's success if he
receives the nomination.
Many Of them abate not one jot or
title of their admiration and venera-
ton for that remarkable man, but they
are not convinced that there has
been such a breaking away from the
republican party in the last four years
that would indicate that he can be
elected.
They love Mr.. Bryan, but they de-
sire victory for the democratic par
ty.
They are intelligent, thinking men
and cannot be controlled by a blind
fanaticism nor tied irrevocably to the
leadership of one man.
Neither do they propose to be read
out of the party because of their hon
est convictions as to what should be
done at the national convention.
When that has finally spoken they
will be as loyal to the nominee as
they are now are to their conviction.
The assumption that the entire state
of Florida is for Mr. Bryan, first, last
and all the time, is as unwarranted
as would be the assertion that Florida
is in favor of some other man.
Who knows what Florida wants
Who is able to speak for Florida and
say that she is overwhelmingly for
any man?
The democrats of this state have
only one way in which they can ex-
! press themselves and determine ques-
tons of state support for a candidate
for the presidency, and that is
/ through the state primary.
The only way to instruct a delega
ton from this state is to select by
primary men who have avOwed pref
erences for one candidate or another
If a delegation of those favoring
Mr. Bryan, on a square issue as tC
whether he is the choice of the state
is elected, then it can be said thai
Florida democracy has spoken, anC
Mr.. Bryan is the choice of the state
But if men who have other prefer
ences, or who desire to go to the
convention untrammelled by instruc
tiOns. having had it left to their owl
judgment and sense of right when tht
time comes for actiOn-if such mel
are elected, the state has spoken. bu
not for Mr. Bryan
The only way to determine the mat
ter would be for men to offer them
selves for candidates for delegates
each stating his position clearly, an
then let the people decide for them
selves at the primary.
Meantime Florida is open field 70

Refuses $50 an Acre
for Carey Land.

Or. Wright has refused an offer of
$50 an acre for his eighty acre Carey
tract which lies about two and half
miles north of Aberdeen. The land is
fine, but no better than thousands of
acres surrounding it. The price offered
is simply an indication of rising values
that are incidental to irrigation. A few
years ago this land was considered
worthless. Then the American Falls
canal system was projected, the price
Of water rights being fixed at s25 per
acre. and the land at so cents per acre.

ments. About two years ago the doc
tor filed upon the land, making cash
payment of $500. He has since made
another payment of sl6o. with interest
on deferred payments amounting to
about 500, put about $500 into i'm
provements total Of less than 1900
he now refuses $50 per acre because
he believes it will be worth Sl00 in less
than two years. Yet there were many
who passed such opportunities by, not
realizing the value Of irrigated land.

Petition for Herd District.

Petitions are ont asking for a herd
district in Bingham county. embracing
all that part Of the county south of the
north line Of township 4. in ranges 80.
81, ~ and 33. Beginning at the west
boundary line of the county, running
east, the north line of the district asked
for passes to the north of Springfield
about two miles. and touches Snake
river about two miles south of Rich.
The land included within the proposed
district embraces the dry farm lands
that are being settled as well as the
irrigated lands under the American
Falls canal. The petition for the dis
trict had about 1870 signatures last
week. A petition opposing the district
is also in circulation.
Both those fsvoring and opposed TO
the district will be represented before
the board of county commissioners at
its next meeting.
The damages from trespassing herds
last year in the vicinity Of Aberdeen
was much in excess Of what It would
have cost TO herd all the stock on the
ranges affected. In the case Of many
farmers on the irrigated lands it meant
sitting up all night to guard the crops
they had toiled so hard, and under such
trying conditions to grow.

The fact that statistics show that
through this system the older boys and
girls of the country become interested
in their school work and remain until
they have completed the high school
course argues strongly in favor of its
adoption. Too often these boys and
girls lose interest. then find an excuse
to leave the school room for work on the
farm. when il would be far better both
for the farm work and the boys future
il they could be induced to remain and
secure higher education before closing
the school room door behind them for
life. In many cases these boys and
girls drift to the cities for work, when
they should be under the care of the
parents on the farms. This is because
life on the farm has not been made at
tractive; it has been one continuous
routine of daily labor without the oppor-
tanity of social intercourse SO essential
to the contentment Of the child.
In many respects the farmer boy has
the advantage of the city boy. if he
could only realize it. His home life is
one Of frugality. simplicity and industry,
which are potent factors in the uphuild-
ing of body and mind. If you would
read the lives of our great statesmen
and successful business men you would
find that most of them came from the
farm. This, however, is not because of
the rural school but in spite oft. Near
ly every president of the United States
was born and raised on farm. More
than 90 per cent of the prominent mem
bers of congress or the men who have
figured prominently in the political af-
fairs of the nation were boys from the
farm: but they went to the city to -
cure the advantages of the best schools
as soon rs they were old enough The
consolidation plan will bring these ID
vantages to the children while living On

SCHOOLS ADVISED
State Superintendent Writes Of
Their Advantages.
Better Teachers, Better Equipment,
Better Buildings and More Com
fort at Less Cost, and Better
Results are Secured.

BY Consolidation of Schools" Is
meant the uniting of two, three or more
small schools into one that will be large
enough in point Of numbers TO be inter

afford comfortable building, several
well trained, well qualified teachers,
and reasonable facilities for work. II
also means that outlying territory with
but few children shall be combined with
a nearby school that is strong, rather
than be organized into an independent
but weak district. In its fullest sense
it means the uniting of all of the schools
of a township, or territory of similar
dimensions, into one or possibly two, SO
located as TO be most accessible, though
not necessarily at the geographic center.
Consolidation either in full or in part
means the transportation Of portion of
