THE HERALD last week conceded
iEscambia county TO Stockton, but
Immediately afterwards it was told
by a Stockton-B roward supporter
lust from Pensacola that Escambia
you'd give Gilchrist a majority.
In view of the fact that all the
newspapers of that. county, in
Guiding Frank Mayes aud his Pen
sacola Journal, the ablest editor
and paper in West Florida, were
supporting Stockton, the informa-
ton came as a big, but pleasant
surprise.

Now that a huge chunk of poll
tics is out of the way, THE HERALD
will resume its course of giving
special attention to the material
interests of Florida. And, as lit
tie as you may think Of it, comical
things contribute to this end.
You may recall that very funny
speech in congress by Proctor
Knott, Of Kentucky, contributed
Immensely to the building of the
city of Duluth on Lake Superior.
There's fun MS well as fortunes to
be had 10 Florida, and here's one
fellow that wants both and more
besides. Let us Ill have all that
is coming. TO us aud thank the
L.ord for it and ask no questions.
The candidates got theirs, Tues,

rest Of us.

A few weeks ago, the Champion
plumed itself on being liberal, if

DeSoto. The people were more
liberal than the Champion and
gave him 1867, Stockton 657,
Browne 1873. As a political
prophet, The Champion is not n

We hope the vote against them
was not inspired by prejudice

Both Incapable and Unwilling.

W Ntt lllONlNl ONi'"'3 w.
PUNTA GoRDA HERALD, made
Governor. The Times is willing
To bet something that Brother
Jordan would make governor
that would reflect honor upon the
State,
The very high and flattering
opinion of our brethren OF Lees
burg and ApaIachicOlu is keenly
appreciated. Their compliment ~
reproduced for the purpose of
pointing a moral or so, one OF
which is the wearing, wearylng
aud exasperating slavery Of pub
lie office. The man who consclen
tiously and assiduously deyoles his
time and talents to the public SER
vice, finds himself in state OF
bondage for which the salary Civ
en- is but poor recompense. AS
governor, no matter how honestly
and earnestly he may strive to do
his duty, he cannot possibly give
satisfaction to all of the half mill
lion of people who feel that they
have II kind Of ownership in him,
and the result is that he becomes
the victim of many an unjust crit
icism, many a shaft of malice and
injurious dispersion.
This, to man conscious of rec
titude, must be very trying, to
say the least. But, in addition
to this, he is besieged by repre-
sentativcs of every interest, per
sonal and otherwise, seeking ia
vors which, in many instances,
cannot be Justly granted, but, he p
ing denied, make unreasonable
enemies. There's the pardoning
business, for example: every par
don, either granted or refused,
represents one or more enemies
made.
1t requires a man of strong
character, of inAexible will, of
stern and answering patriotism
to be the right kind of governor;
a man who cannot be swerved
from the path of duty by the urg-
ing Of friends, the threats of the
selfish and designing, or the
tears of woman. Jordan of The
HERALD is not that sort of man.
He is easily persuaded by friends in
whom he has confidence, and a sin
gle tear in the eye of woman would
conquer him instantly. He would
never do for a member of the par
doning board, for he would do
oven worse than the present board
is doing, The only thing that
may be said in his favor is that he
would not steal knowingly or tell
Il lie to any one having right to
know the truth.
He has had some experience
in public Office and knows some
thing of its responsibilities and
trials. He was postmaster at
Leesburg for four years and he
felt all the while that he was
every body's Niger" a prisoner
of state, an innocent victim to be
boSsed and lorded over and "cuss-
ed" by n lot of pompous fellows
in Washington who were clothed
with little brief authority" over
him. Had it not been for the
sympathy, support and confidence
of those noble people of Leesburg,
he would have resigned the Office
after six months and have hired
out to some kind-hearted farmer
to grub palmetto roots.
That was enough of public office
for him. 1t is true that public
office is public trust, but to him
it is also most unmitigatod pri-
vate nuisance.
Many thanks, brethren, for

could nov depart.
When he was leaving the princess
stood at the garden gate and said to
him: You have carried my train bet
ter than any one else. Oh, that you
were king and a glazier-"
Thereupon he said he would try his
best to become that, and II she was
willing to wait for him he would Ger
tainly come back.
So he went to a glazier and asked
him whether he could not use an ap-
prentice. "Oh. yes" answered the g1a-
zier. but it takes four years TO learn
the trade. In the first year you are
taught to fetch the rolls from the baker
and to wash and comb and dress the
children. In the second year you learn
TO put the putty into the cracks. and
in the third year you learn to cut
glass and put in panes, and in the
fourth year you become a gIazier."
Then he asked the glazier whether he
couldn't begin from the back, for that
would be quicker work. But the gla-
zier told him the right way to begin
was at the beginning or he would not
turn into a respectable glazier. So
he was satisfied TO do it.
In the first year he went to the bak-
er's to fetch the rolls and washed and
combed and dressed the children In
cracks. and in the third he learned
how to cut the glass and put it in. and
in the fourth he became a gIazier.
Then he again donned his nobleman's
clothes. bade the glazier goodby and
left, all the while wondering how he
would go about it to become a king.
AS he walked along the streets. all
lost in thought, a man came up to
him and asked him whether he had lost
anything. for his eyes had been turned
to the ground. He answered: Though
1 have not really lost anything. yet I
am looking for something. namely. for
a kingdom" and he asked the man
whether he could not tell him what
to do in order to become a king.
IF you were a glazier." said the
man, 81 could tell you what to do"
But that is just what I am" he
answered. "and I have just completed
my apprenticeship.
When he had said this the man be-
gan to tell him a story of the three
sisters with the glass hearts. and how
the king had decided to let the young
est daughter marry only a glazier.
AT first" he continued. che made a
