l can see no hope, in these hard
and scientific times, for the political
schemer-"with his combinations that
fail to work" his dead-sure thing,
that never mater,alizes, the entire
county vote in his vest pocket, that
he cannot deliver" He certainly is
hard up against his most definite day
of judgment, for he is confronted by
the primary, where the voter can, by
ballot, declare himself a freeman, or
brand himself a slave.
| appeal to West Florida to register
her protest in no unmistakable terms
against any deal that may attempt to
shackle or bind her manhood or di-
vert one of her sons from the cause
of Hon. VIM. B. Lamar. The princi-
pie involved in the present political
campaign, Political Justice for West
Florida" meets a responsive chord
in every village, town and city of our
state
| unreservedIy declare and proclaim
that Hon. VIM B. Lamar is the logical
successor to Hon. S. R. Mallory. Hon.
VIM. B. Lamar has served Florida
long, well and faithfully. which is at
tested by twenty-five years of con-
tinuouS service to our state. His rec
ord shows that he has never appealed
in vain for political advancement. He
CALAMITY displayed his loyalty to Hon.
S. r. Mallory by declining to oppose
him for the United States senatorshfp.
He voluntarily and publicly declared
that he would support and use his
influence for him.
He stands today preeminently quail
fed to fill the exalted position of
United States senator. He unques-
tionably merits promotion to the
United States senate, rightly deserves
it, and is justly entitled to the honor.
Hon. VIM. B. Lamar's advancement
to the senate spells potential wealth
for West Florida and the entire
state. His knowledge of the "modus
operandi' in Washington, d. c., ac-
quired during his congressional ca
reer insures a degree of success
which is only gained by years of ex-
perience. The eXigencies of the
state demand his promotion.
The indications are that the three
friends" Broward Milton and Lewis
will eliminate a few votes from La
mar in Jackson county. However.

| elected senator. II is not necessary

PENSACOLA JOURNAL. SUNDAY MORNING,

ests of some of the gents who call
themselves New York democrats, Pull
itzer and Ryan for instance, and it
is high time that they were being
made to understand that they cannot
use the national democratic party as
a personal asset or as a tool to pro-
mote their private interests. That Is
all the use they have for the party,
anyway. We want New York, OF
course, but the time has arrived
when the proof should be given that
she is not indispensable.

Looks Like Legal Hanging.


1t looks now as if Quincy is to
have a legal hanging some time in
the near future. This will be a negro,
John Robinson, who was charged and
convicted of a most heinous crime, as
it is told on another page. This will
be the first hanging in some time to
take place in this county. but il is
we'll that something of the kind is
to happen, for human life has been
taken too pTomiscuously OF late; in
fact, it is rather the rule and not the
exception for human life to be taken
about once a month in this county.
1t is a disgrace to our civilization to
have so many Grim mails charged with
the awful crime of murder, and moth
ing, apparently. being done to check
them. The crimes are almost wholly
among the negroes and they do not
seem to mind the sentence of life in
the pen. and it is very patent that
frst-class legal hanging take place
within the bounds of our county. The
crime for which this negro will paw
the death penalty was so dastardly
that it seems as if hanging is too good
for him. but we predict that the les
son taught by this legal execution
will have a far-reaching. effect upon
the criminally inclined persons of the
cOunty-Quincy Times.

So far as We can Judge from read

which alone any information on the
subject can be obtained, no candidate
for the senate need be elated over
his prospects for election, for there
is not sufficient data upon which to

WOMEN DRINKERS INCREASE
Archbishop Ireland Says Men Have
Improved

in his address before the annual con-
yention of the Total Abstinence union,
archdiocese of ST. Paul, at the old cap
itol in st. Paul During the early
times men were SO bad that women
were kept busy trying to reform them.
Men have improved and women haze
become worse and the women should
now devote their efforts to obtain total
abstinence among themselves.
Archbishop Ireland was introduced
as the father of total abstinence in
the Northwest. In his address he gave
"reminiscences of the abstinence move
ment from 1869 to the present. In
speaking Of the efforts of the brewers
to make the retail saloon decent he
said: Unless the decent saloon
comes, and comes quickly, prohibition
will come" AS for the decent saloon,
he doubted if there were such, and
said that ST. Paul man who had
tried to run decent saloon was COM

STORM IN MINNESOTA.
Resulted in One Fatality and Much
Damage to Property.

damage TO Properly.
The terrific storm that swept
through Southern and Southwestern
Minnesota did damage that conserva-
lively may be estimated in the neigh
borhood of s1,0O0,000. AS the loss
principally lies in the crops of the
rich agricultural region that was
visited, it is difficult to sum up the
damage.
No tornado accompanied the storm,
and the report that a "tWister" had
hit Albert Lea and other towns was
found to have been based upon nomi-
nal damage done by heavy wind.
Only one death has been reported
Carl Gramenza, farmer in Burns
township, Brown county, was killed by
a stroke of lightning that set fire to
his barn. No injuries other than of a
minor character have been reported.
While the wind blew with the fury
of tornado in several places, the
principal damage was by hail, which
fell to an extent and with a force prob
ably ,lnequalled in the history of the
southern part of the state. Grain was
beaten into the ground, and few farms
in the path of the storm, which was a
score of miles wide at most places,
escaped some damage, while ruin was
wrought in every field on a large num-
Der. Lightning struck many farm
buildings and killed much live stock.
