The attention of our valued
friends of the Pensacola Journal
is respectfully called to the fact
that their candidate for the United
States senate, Hon. John S. Beard,
in his speech in Tampa last Friday
night referred to Governor Brow
ard as n part Of u ''nefarious ma
chine" 1t is not stated whether
he included Mr.. Stockton as u
part of the machine, but the
Broward- Barrs-Stockton combine
is a we'll known political cabal
that may properly be styled a
machine. The journal, however,
is built up morally Of Gilchrist's
three monkeys, in that it "hears
no evil, sees no evil, speaks no
evil"

Tampa Times'--Wilbur Mccoy,
the efficient industrial agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line, says the
movement Of small farmers into
Florida along the line of his road
is gaining strength and more land
has been sold in the past ninety
days than for two years previous.
The filling up of the state with
small, independent, Industrious
farmers would be the best thing
that could happen. We have
room for two or three hundred
thousand such men, while there
are u million in the country who
need just the location and sur
roundings we could give them.

Strange Things In Politics.

Starke Telegraph - Strange
things happen in politics. Gus
Morton, who has devotedly follow
ed the political fortunes of John N.
G. Stockton, now denounces him
asa dishonorable man. For sever
al years Mr.. Morton has been asso-
ciated in business with Stockton
and says that Stockton has abused
his confidence and swindled him
out of his share of the business.
The men were engaged in the phos-
phate business and, according to
Morton's statement, lately sold
their holdings for profit of abont
forty thousand dollars. Morton
had implicit confidence in Stockton
and the money was paid to him in
a lump, and he now refuses to pay
to Morton his share of the pro-
ceeds. The Telegraph knows no
thing of the matter, beyond Nor
tons statement, and there may be
another side to the story.

Pensacola Journal;-The price

it would drive out western COM

Orlando Reporter Starr. L.
Lewis State convict Inspector,
gives out the statement to the
Ocala Star that Stockton will be
the next governor and Broward
the senator. Of course John
Lewis gets his lesson from head
quarters and, like all other State
officials, must only sing one song.
Those who are not holding posi-
tons under His Excellency" do
not concede that he will do any
sweeping. Many who were open
and avowed supporters of Bryan,
are not supporters of Broward and
do not intend to support Stockton
for governor. This is one cleo
ton where the voters will think
for themselves, and they refuse to
be led by the powers that be. :"

Editorial COurtliness.

Liberality and courtliness, as
we'll as editorial brilliance, abound
in the sanCtum of the Pensacola
journal. No paper in the State
treats its political opponents with
greater kindness, courtesy and
consideration, which is a trait OF
real journalistic greatness. An
example of this appeared in one
of last weeks issues of the journal,
in which The HERALD editor il
highly complimented. In repro
ducing it, we wish to assure the
writer of it that, if the primaries
leave him in need of ''arnica and
liniment," THE HERALD will DO
glad to furnish the most soothing
brands. Were he not in the in
nocence of his heart supporting
the wrong man for governor, we
should express the hope that tho
close of tho campaign will find
him in no need of ''arnica and lin
iment," for we can really sympa-
thize with HIM in the inevitable
defeat of John Beard, who is q
splendid man, but we cannot con-
scientiously waste any sympa-
thetic tears in the case of Mr..
Stockton, who, Notwithstanding
the able support of the Journal, is
pretty apt to be sent back to pri-
vate life on May 10th.
But here is the really agreeable
and cheering consolation which
the Journal offers in advance and
which is received with sincere
thanks:
1--WE do honestly admire the
way in which Editor Jordan, Of
the PUNTA GoRDA HERALD, stands
up and meets all corners in behalf
of his friend Gilchrist for governor.
1t reminds us of the dear old days
when newspapers were organs
honest, unbought, enthusiastic
organs, and there was such q
thing rs untainted friendship in the
world. There are very few or
gans' left now, and those that re-
main play the good old-fasbioned
tunes of our daddies which no
longer thrill the pulses of this
progressive generation; but for ali
that, it is honest music full of the
tender grace of that day that Is
dead and we like 10 hear it break
in occasionally with its wealth Of
sweet "reminiscences, upon the or
chestral crash of the strenuous
modern symphony. Keep up
your lick, Bro. Jordan; we like
the way you stand up for your
man, and when you call for the
arnica and the liniment after tho
collision at the primaries, to dress
his wounds and yours, you may
be certain of the sympathetic adj
miration and respect of friend and
foe alike"

A MANLY DISCLAIMER.
Editor Griifis Really Admires
Punta GOrda.

We suppose that, in It's literary
sense, the word ''roasting" means
saying awful things about any one.
If this 10 correct, then Editor
GrifIis, of the Fort Myers Breeze,
errs in saying that this paper
"roastedp him in its issue of week
before last, for it simply protested
aud demonstrated. With this un'
derstood, we take pleasure in
printing below the manly disclaim-
er which Editor Gritlis made in
last weeks Breeze and which is
entirely satisfactory. 1t is as
follows:
editor Jordan roasted us
properly last week for printing Il
little item wherein a man compar-
cd Punta Gorda to hades and the
comparison was favorable to
hades. What the Punta Gorda
brother said to us was enough.
If we had the room TO print it, we
would, but we will have to omit it,
and say that The HERALD fairly
bristled with true patriotism in
defense of Punta Gorda's name.
We want to assure the brother
that we just love Punta Gorda.
We always did like some of the
people over there, but we like
everything in Punta Gorda better
than we ever did before. We
agree with Editor Jordan that
Punta Gorda is one the prettiest
places that Gods blessed sun eyer
"shined" upon. We wouldn't
disparage Punta Gorda's beauty,
advantages or resources knowing
ly, even if we could.
eve hasten to assure him that
any man who would prefer hades
to Punta Gorda is a fool and a
knave. That fellow ought to
have his preference for awhile,
too. Punm Gorda is all right,
and we want The HERALD to dis
tincily understand that we don't
hold any such opinion of it as the
man we quoted; and hereafter
when any one speaks disparaging-
ly of your town, we will make it a
point TO close our ears Qike Gen.
Gilchrist's monkey); and if any
body tries to show us any evil
about Punta Gorda, we will close
our eyes like Gen. Gilchrist's other
monkey, and it won't be necessary
for us to close our mouth, like
Gen. Gilchrist's other monkey,
because we never will say any
thing against Punta Gorda."

GILCHRIST A WINNER.
Views Expressed by Reliable
Newspapers.

Tampa News.-Gen. Gilchrist
is the best campaigner this State
has known since the palmy days of
Bloxham.
He mingles with the people
without the suggestion of fawning
upon them and his hand-clasp de-
notes rather the genial friend than
the deceitful politician.
During the few days he has
been in Tampa on the present
trip, the General has met and talk
ed with hundreds of people, the
great majority of whom at once
fell into the habit, rapidly becom-
ing prevalent throughout Florida,
of abiding to him as "the next
Governor"
The General is not an orator,
but his speeches ring with sinceri-
ty and truth and attract the
thoughtful attention of men not
given to ephemeral enthusiasm.
That he is, substantially, the
only man in the race so far MS
Hillsborough county is concerned,
is an admitted fact; and that he is
gaining votes and friends wherever
he visits is another fact that must
be very disquieting to his oppo-
nents. Gen. Gilchrist's manly
avoidance of the cheap appeals of
demagogy, his out-spoken ex-
pressions on public issues, Danish
from the man with whom he talks
the idea that the average candi-
date encourages-that of desire
for Office regardless of sincerity or
good faith.
1t is becoming more and more
evident daily that he will be the
next Governor; and it is already
fully assured that, as Governor,
he will set up a new standard and
II much higher one than we have
been accustomed to in the recent
past
Tampa Tribune:-It certainly
takes a verdant novice in politics
to predict anything but an over
whelming nomination for Gener-
al Glchrist. The way the polit-
lea skies are now rolling over the
horizon, it looks as though one
primary will be all that is necessa-
ry to sound the death knell TO the
other two gentlemen who are
scampering over the state in quest
of votes.

One of these little books will he mailed free to any one sending address on postal card or by letter, to Dr. R.V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and requesting the same. From this booklet it will be learned that Dr. Pierce's medicines con tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native, medicinal roots of great value; also that some of the most valuable in- gradients contained in Dr Pierces Fa- vorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over-worked, "run-down,' nervous and facilitated women, were employed, long years ago by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact, one of the most valuable medic inal plants entering into the compost tion of Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescrip- ton was known to the Indians as "Squaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the uses of not few of our most valuable native, medicinal plants was gained from the Indians.
 As made up by improved and exact processes, and with the use of specially designed chemical apparatus, the "Fa- vorite Prescriptionp is a most efficient remedy for regulating all the womanly functions, correcting displacements, as prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion, overcoming painful periods, toning mp the nerves and bringing about a per feet state of health.
