Honor to Whom.

1t may not be too late to give
credit for General Gilchrists VIC
tory to those who most deserve it;
accordingly, we venture to say
that his success was due in the
first place to his own splendid
campaigning, his manly, open
and honest platform, his personal
efforts ON and off the stump and
his fine individual appearance.
These were the chief factors in
his triumph.
Next, his literary campaign was
admirably managed by John La
Fontisee, which contributed i'm
mensely to the result attained.
As powerful aids to the same end,
the calm, dignifed and able edit
oriaIs of the Times Union, the in
defatigable activity and enthusias-
tic support of the Tampa Tribune
and the fine work of The Ocala
Banner the Miami News-Record
and the Tallahassee Democrat, un-
doubleday had a splendid effect in
turning the tide of public senti-
ment away from false issues and
directing it to the real and vital
issues and interests involved.
The weekly press, too, repre-
scented by such excellent and pa
triotic papers as the Starke Tele-
graph, the DeLand Record, Lake
land News, Leesburg Commercial,
Dunnellon Advocate, Lake Butler
Star and others, materially and
nobly helped in the campaign and
deserve a full measure of com
mendation,
Finally, those misguided preach
ers who were betrayed into taking
part in the fight, succeeded in
rendering valuable aid negatively
by diyerting several thousand
votes from Mr.. Stockton to Gener-
al Gilchrist.

The Cooper Case.

Since the nomination of Gen
eral Gilchrist for governor, many
people may imagine that, as soon
as he is inaugurated, THE HERALD
will begin to clamor for the execu-
ton Of Isaiah Il. Cooper, who, for
four years past, has been lying in
Jail at Arcadia under sentence
of death for the murder of
j. ii, Bowman, town marshal Of
Punta Gorda. TO relieve the
minds of those interested of any
suspense regarding The HERALD's
probable course, it is proper to
state that the paper will offer no
suggestion whatever to Governor
Gilchrist, but will leave the case
entirely in his hands and approve
of any action he may take, for we
know he will act with his charac-
teristic conscientiousness-that is,
if Governor Broward, on going
out Of Office, leaves the case us it
now stands. Two governors in
succession have refused to hang
Cooper; a third one may be trust
cd to do whatever he thinks right,
and we shall trust him without
saying a word.
This, however, is not to be talk
en- as abandoning in the slightest
The HERALD's firm conviction that
Cooper is guilty of the murder as
charged.

If, in the late campaign, THE
HERALD INDUCED in any criticism
of Hon. j. N, G. Stockton that
was either unjust or too severe, it
takes this occasion to express its
regret with the hope that its error
will be attributed to the heat char
acteristic of all very lively politi.
cal contests. We have great re-
spect for Mr.. Stockton, who is a
man of brains and wonderful ener-
gy, qualities which we are sure he
will continue to devote as a pri-
yate citizen to the best interests of
his city and State. His manly ac-
ceptance of the results of the pri-
mary adds lustre to his reputation.

That Florida hard wood is in
demand in Europe is attested by
the fact thata company in Gaines
vile is cutting u cargo of hickory
and ash, which will be consigned
to an extensive dealer in Norway.
These woods are used in European
countries for many purposes, but
principally in the manufacture of
furniture. With proper legisla-
tion for the protection of our
hardwood forests, the industry
can be maintained indefinitely and
made one of the important re.
sources of the State.

He did not understand, as his com

Governor Broward accepts his
defeat with actual sangfroid. In
many respects he is one of the

An exchange says that alcohol
will remove grass stains from
summer clothes. The exchange Is
right. 1t will also remove sum-
mer clothes, and also spring and
winter clothes, not only from the
man who drinks it, but also from
his wife and children. 1t will
also remove household furniture
from the house and eatables
from the pantry; the smiles from
the face Of his wife and the happi-
ness from his home. AS remoy-
er of things, alcohol has few
equals. Selected.

A Good Suggestion.

IL has been suggested that the
town of Punta Gorda should Sc
cure possession Of the entire block
in front Of the Dade hotel and
maintain it as permanent plaza
or park. This is a wise sug-
gestion and one which, in all prob
ability, can be successfully carried
out.
Since the greater part of the
property is in litigation and has
been tied up thus for many years,
it is reasonable TO suppose that
those parties principally interested
could be prevailed upon to relin-
quish their claims, if they are
assured that the city would hold it
for the purpose stated.
Quit-claim deeds could be OBJ
tanned from each of the litigators,
and that part not in dispute secur-
ed also, the city to become sole
owner of the whole block.
We are presuming that the
claimants and owners would do
this from sense' of public spirit
and patriotism, without involving
consideration. AS the property
now stands, it is doing them no
particular good, while, on the
other hand, it Is II kind of white
elephant on their hands. BY
making the city q present Of the
whole thing, they would be bene.
fitting themselves and at the same
time contribute greatly toward
making Punta Gorda of the future
one of the prettiest towns in
Florida.
An open plaza, occupying cen
trail situation, with walks con-
structed around II, o fountain In
the center, Royal palms planted
about in it and green grass grow
ing over the ground throughout
the year-what better step could
be taken toward identifying our
town!
1t would be unfortunate for the
city for that block to be filed
with tall buildings that will OBJ
struct the magnificent view of the
bay from Marian avenue. And
yet this is what will come to pass,
unless the above suggestion is
carried out. The planting of the
Royal palms vii not tend to cut
off the view, for this tree grows to
such a height that the beauty Of
the scene would only be intensi-
fisd by the shapely and smooth
looking trunks of the palms.
The town council might con
slider the suggestion and appoint
q committee to make an investiga-
ton. BY q proper and we'll di-
rected effort, there is little doubt
that the plan can be pushed
through successfully. And it
will be an act that will go down to
the glory Of both those who give
the property and the city faith
ers' who establish it as a public
plaza or park.

 FOR VIOLATING RULES

Cincinnati. March 1e.--The National Baseball Commission today directed the Secretary of the Commission to com municate with seven national agree ment players. who have been playing In games with clubs in the California State League, which is not under the national agreement. demanding that they show cause why a fine of $100 should not be assessed against them for participating in such games.
 The attention of the Committee was called to the fact that certain na- tional agreement players were prac- ticing with clubs in that League last fall and ruling was made at that time that this, must cease. It was an- nounced that q fine of $100 would be inflicted for the first offense and sus- pension for the second offense.
 The Commission has now been noti- ned that the seven players have paTtic- ipated in games with that League af- ter the notice had been promulgated, and the Secretary is instructed to re- quest the players to show cause why they should not be lined.
 They are: Chase O. the New Yorn Americans; Moriarty of the New York Americans; Baum of the Philadelphia Nationals; Waterbury of the Boston Nationals; Nelson of the Tacoma club players; McHale of the Denver Club; Stanage of the Newark club.

The Auburn basket ball team will play here tomorrow night with the To- cal r. M. c. A. team. This will be the last game of the season and Au- burn Is coming here determined to win in order to even up on the season with the local team.
 Montgomery and Auburn have played three hot games this season and of the three Montgomery has taken two but in each case only after the hardest kind of a battle. Auburn won one game. but had to work for it all the time with Ware. Woodruff and Locke on the team Auburn has played some swell basket ball this year and are worthy rivals of the Montgomery team.
 It is said that Coach Donahue is looking ahead for next season when he expects to have one of the fastest teams in the South. He will lose ware and woodruff and fin Currie. who will likely get in the game tonight. Donahue expects to develop star. r c.
