Police to the Front.

After marching a block west on Adams street, Reitman counter-marched to Mich igan avenue, passed north to Madison street and then marched west two squares on Madison street Here he encountered a strong squad of police under the command of Assistant Chief oi Police Schuettler, who, after command to disband was disregarded, ordered ms men to charge the marchers. The police came on run and the column was ln- stantlv broken up. Several men were knocked down and the police not attempt ing to make arrests used their clups freely. in quickening the footsteps or the fleeing unemployed"
 Followed closely by the officers the marchers darted into the crowd Of snop- pers along State street and several Woill- en were pushed to the sidewalk durlnS the confusion. No arrests were made and nobody was seriously injured al though the police dealt vigorous thumps with their clubs on the backs or the marchers.
 A number of the marchers, after gettlng away from the police went south on state street aiming to form another column as they went At State street and Jackson boulevard they had formed the semblance of another parade and taking the middle of the street, they marched along, SIX abreast. Just before reaching Clark street they were met by another detachment or police. under Lieutenants White and Mooney. Another order to disband met with no response, the marchers attempt ing to shoulder their way along. The police instantly charged, swinging their clubs right and left.

Marchers on the Run.

M oH htiC tAA'h
 The marchers fled wildly, some run ming into the doorway of the Union League club, while others sought safety in the postoffice building Others turned south into Clark street, but were quickly captured and placed under arrest. Reit- man showed some resistance and he was handled in vigorous. style He was felled by a. blow from a policeman's club, and his clothing torn. When he regained his feet he shouted:
 Let me go; let me go; know the chief of police.'
 He was at once taken to the police head quarters, followed by a crowd of POGO peo- pie. After reaching the station Reitman said:
 q was arrested without cause and was treated brutally. Some policeman hit me over the head with his club. There would have been no disorder if the police had allowed us to march through the streets as we wished to do. All we wanted was to go to the city hall and demand that men out of work be given employment by the city.
 As soon as it was known that fighting had taken place in the streets, Chief of Police 5hippy called in the reserves from the nearby stations. and within a few minutes the central police station was filled with officers. Their services, how ever, were not needed
 Later ip the afternoon another crowd gathered on the lake front, but it was broken up by few officers sent for the purpose by the chief of police.
 Nobody was seriously hurt during the excitement, although some of the march CTS will nave sore heads and backs for a few days. Many of them seemed to re- gard the whole thing as huge joke until they came into contact with the police.
 Reitman and two of his followers who were arrested will be arraigned in police court tomorrow on the charge of disor- derly conduct and melting riot.

Come Down From the Tree.

Does General Gilchrist have to
offer every job to the editor OF the
PUNTA GoRDA HERALD, or consult
him before he makes moves
Looks that way to a man up a
tree. = Fort Myers Press.
Well then, you had better come
down from the tree that you may
see better. General Gilchrist has
never offered The HERALD editor
any job at all nor consulted him
about anything relating to his
candidacy, nor has the editor ever
asked the general for any job, not
even a job of printing. AS the
Pensacola Journal seemed curious
to know why Mr.. LaFontisee, In
stead Of this editor, was made lit
erary manager for General Gil
christ, The HERALD tried to ex-
plain it, but did it awkwardly.
1t should have said simply that
the job was never offered to the
editor, and if it had been, he could
not have accepted it.

The Pensacola journal of the
10th committed a comicality when
on its editorial page it denied the
existence in Florida of q political
machine and on its eighth page
admitted that it was through such
a political machine that the new
postmaster at Pensacola secured
his job. If Messrs. Coombs,
Chubb and Co. can construct and
operate a machine for the benefit
Of their wing Of the Republican
party, why cannot Messrs. Brow
ard, Bars and Stockton do the
same thing for their adherents9

An TncOrruptibIe Press.

The newspapers are responsible
for the popular belief that they do
not advocate men for Office unless
they are paid TO do it. The result
is that the people have but little
confidence in what the editors print
about candidates, aud the influence
for good which the newspapers
should WELD is seriously impaired.
This depIorable state of affairs
was caused by The newspapers
themselves, which, in various past
campaigns and in the present one,
have charged one another with
venality in the support given can
didates. These utterly unwar-
ranted charges have been so fire.
quent, so persistent and so general
that the people have come to be-
lievo them and, in consequence,
the newspapers have lost the inAu'
ence they should have.
Not only charges Of venality,
but of intentional falsehood are
repeatedly made.
II will now be q difficult job for
the newspapers to regain public
confidence, but the first step to
this end should be the immediate
cessation Of all charges, either
direct or by insinuation, against
the integrity of any newspaper,
unless supported by the strong
est evidence. Y
OF the 1850 newspapers pub
lished In Florida, we do not be-
lieve that as many as six are NOV
ed by venal, corrupt or improper
motives in supporting candidates.
As q class, they are all trying
to discharge their duties.
to the people who support them
by conscientiously advising the
people az to the best men for the
public Offices. Of course, they
disagree as to the candidates, just
as the people themselves do, but
they are certainly honest in be-
lieving the candidates whom they
advocate are the best men for the
people to elect, and not one in
fifty is paid money to advocate
any candidate.
But suppose Sany candidate
should undertake to buy with
money these $50 Florida newspa-
pers. Al $500 each, which is a
ridiculously low price for honor,
it would cost him $4,000. If he
could bribe half of them at that
price, the total cost would be
$4,000.
Thus we see that the popular
idea that the support Of the Flori-
da press can be bought, is utterly
absurd.

An Absurd Explanation.

Aho ihVo1 liPoNOhV OnP'"""'ANN
we have ever read appeared on
March 7th inst. on the 7tb page OF
the Tallahassee Ego, which, while
Astounding in obfuscation and OBJ
scuration, humorously calls itself
the Sun. Perhaps the explain
alton, though tediousIy lengthy
and very labOrious, was intended
as a bit Of humor, as, when "boil-
ed 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 " financial wreck of the
Times Union, which Mr., Stockton
was conducting, and the letter re-
lated chiefly to Mr. Stockton's
efforts to buy the outstanding
stock aud bonds Of the Times
Union for the purpose of turning
them over to Mr.. Flagler to COM
pIete the sale of that paper to him.
The Ego argues that it was solely
in reference to these efforts to
purchase stocks and bonds that
Mr.. Stockton used the express
sions, 81 very much deplore thOt
anything has arisen to displease
and cause II lack of confidence in
U.S. aud trust in the
future that you will have no cause
to complain of our management. 7"
Who ever heard of a newspaper
man, as Mr.. Stockton then was,
using the word management, !"
except in application to the con-
duct Of his newspaper especially,
Us in the same letter an attempt
was made to explain the Times
Unions attitude towards Judge
II. l.. Mitchell as u candidate for
governors
And yet we are assured by the
Ego that it was neither q ''friend-
ly nor a political letter." although
it contained an unmistakable apol
ogy and considerable reference TO
the political situation as far as ii
related to Judge Mitchell and the
Farmers Alliance, both of whom
Mr.. Stockton's Times Union had
been opposing.
But the utter absurdity of the
organs explanation is
neatly and forcibly exposed in last
weeks Wauchula Telegram in the
following language:
"This letter was written to Mr..
Flagler on June 16, 1892. The
rimes-Union and Citizen were
consolidated on September 8,
1897. Will the Sun pretend to
'ay that it took five years, two
and twenty-five days for
Mr.. Stockton to get that stock
together9 If Mr.. Flagler bought

writing of his best teacher said, Another thing
which made great many respect him, especially
bows was that when ne was speaking to you he
seemed to put YOU on the same level with himself,
and not to treat YOU pupil almost entirely under
his control.
When we remember what critical, dramatic
period in life the high school age IS how very many
many Young hopes and ambitions crushed, how
many promising careers nipPed IN the bud-we
realize the Importance of the work the teacher per
forms in the community. The one large and I'M
Dortant conclusion that issues from all that has been
said is the importance of the moral qualities,-syn-
pathy insight, self control,-as compared with the
intellectual qualities IN the makeup OF the child
ideal teacher.
Personality is the thing that counts in the
school, as outside of it. Emerson clearly recOg-
nized this fact when he wrote his daughter at
college that it mattered little to him what her
studies were; what he wanted to know most OF all
was who her teachers were. And Emerson was
philosopher.
