WILL BIZ PARDONED.

The Tampa Tribune contains the fol-
lowing snent the recent conviction of
Claude L'Engle for libel in Polk county:
The conviction of Claude L'Engle is
merely incidental. He will be par
dOned. He stands too close to the gov
ernOr, too close TO the Capitol officials,
to fear that ne will be called upon to
pay any penalty.
When the PardOning Board is so liber-
al with it's faVOrs to ordinary applicants
for clemency, it is beyond Comprehen-
sion that one so high in the confidence
of the members Of the Board, 80 thor
oughly in line with the administration,
will appeal in vain.
OF the merits Of the libel case we
know little and care less; but the Tri-
bune will wager its plant against q
Washington hand-press that L'Engle
never pays a dollar or serves an hour
for the Offense Of which he has just
been found guilty.

now IS rms FOR BRYAN.

The editor Of, the Havana News has
twitted The True Democrat several
times for asserting that VIM. ]. Bryan
was not a democrat. From an editorial
in recent edition of the Commoner,
Bryan's paper, on the growth Of So
cialism," we copy the following
Gust as the Populist party grew I'M
Gil it compelled consideration of the
abuses that led 70 is organization, so
the socialist party will grow until 1t
forces those at the head Of the govern
ment to look into the wrongs that are
done and to apply remedies. "
This is certainly strange deelsra-
ton to come from the man who headed
the last democratic national ticket.
If he be a real democrat he should
have inserted that democratic Opposi-
tion would yet compel the party in
power Ito look into the wrongs that are
done and to apply remedies"

QUO VADIS

Within a month the State Of Florida
will be compelled to choose which diree-
ton it will take on the drainage ques-
ton.
The State was plunged into a vast
scheme of Everglads draining without
investigation or consideration.
Under the plan adopted by the Gov
ernor thousands, yes hundreds Of thous-
ands, Of dollars have already been
spent.
It will be incumbent on the new ad-
ministration to determine whether THE
expense shall continue.
It must decide whether the present
haphszard methods are TO be continued,
or whether there shall be a careful exc
animation into past expenditures, and
an investigation into the practicability
Of the whole matter of drainage.
Considerable curiosity is being ex-
pressed as to which course the new adj
ministration will pursue, and the people
are asking
Which way, Governor ?-Miami Rec
ord.

thority to demand convention Of the

which he did. He was not Needed.
The people in this county who voted
against the amendments are q reading,
thinking people. They knew what they
were about when they voted. They are
painfully aware that the country in all
its interests has Outgrown the present
constitution; therefore they demand q
new, not a patched, one. The full
grown man, who has outgrown his knea
pants, does not want them patched, but
q new pair in keeping with bis age,

mand new garment suitable for her

MKT YEAR coon ron BUSINESS.

The True Democrat is rejoiced to see
great bOuyancy among all the Wall
street interests. During one day last
week there were twenty-five or more
stocks which made new record in up
ward tendency for the year, and this
gives a very good indication Of the feel
Ing among fnanciers.
The mOneyed interests evidently feel
that the panic is over and are doing
what they conscientiously can for
restoration of confidence. The railroads
and larger industrials are again active
in selling their bonds and funding their
notes which were issued a compile Of
years ago to tide them over expanded
expenses and outlay.
The great resumption of business that
is on and constantly increasing will
soon bring heavy demand for lumber
and naval stores, and liven up the to-
baeco market, the three great interests
which 80 materially affect this section.
We may expect the next to be a good
business year in Tallahassee and Leon
county

beauty. is already well known, when q
maiden dies, they imprison young bird
