The Sorrowful Fate
of Congressman Rucker.

The career of the ordinary con-
gresham is, at the best, monotonous.
He has but slight opportunity to ex-
pand himself and give free vent to
throes of patriotism. He feels the
pressure-a terrific expansion of noble
sentiments and magnificent opinions.
But the cold supervising eye of old
Uncle Joe Cannon is loath to give
recognition TO any save the elect,
while the aggregation OF members, the
vast majority of whom suffer from
a similar process Of squelching, re-
fuse him sympathy and treat his as
piratiOns with cold disdain.
1t takes a brave heart indeed to
overcome these Oppressive and sup
pressive influences, and, therefore, one

The Tribune Forgets
How Hot It Is.

The Tampa Tribune, for which we
the childish, has violated every rule
of friendship and produced an editor
iai over a column and a half in
length damning the primary system
these not the dog days? Has not
dippy dealing Sirius appeared above
the horizon? This may account for
the Tribune's voIuminousness and
lack of consideration toward its de-
voted readers with whom we may be
numbered) these hot July days.
Now what a twisted thought is
this: Selfish ambition, personal
gain, political ACKNOWLEDGMENT, were
the great motives for the institution
of the primary; they constitute the
stimulus for its perpetuation." And,
by our halidome or airdome, or any
other portion of the paraphernaIia Of
an up-to-date municipality, there is
truth in the assertion when viewed in
a certain way. For, verify, the chief
motive that upset the old conyen-
ton system and still perpetuates the
primary originated from the said
selfish ambition, personal gain and
political aggrandiZement" which were
playing the devil and Tom Walker
with the party, and the country. But
we fear The Tribune did not frame its
sentence with this idea in mind.
Reviving this settled question, this
fat accompH, as the linguist of The
Barlow Courier-Informant would OBJ
serve. is about as cruel as the recent
f1aCcidly conducted attempt at revival
of the capital removal corpse which
occupied the attention Of two or three
OF our east coast contemporaries. It's
too bad-during fly and, mosquito

such a system holds out for intrigue,

OF every shape and @orm.
How aptly is this shown in the city
of New York, where every conven-
ton is dominated and every nomina-
tioE dictated by the sachems of the
Tammany society, a secret organiza-
tioI and thereby belying its claims to
be a democratic organization. Better

and fury of a primary of the people
than the single rule of the conven-

but please, please don't let it occur
again.

A Good Joke.


The Pensacola Journal has an edi-
torial upon the letter Of President
Finley relative to the South Ameri-
can trade, in which it states: Now
where on all the length Of the coast
from Chesapeake Bay to Mexico will
be found a better haTbOr, a deeper
harbOr, a more accessible haTboT than
that Of the Deep Water City? What
points may be more conveniently
reached by railway lines trending
northward and branching toward both
the east and the west. What point,
therefore, more surely attracts the
ships from the south and the trains
from the north than this ancient city
of Pensacola, selected centuries ago
by wise old Spanish adventures as
the most propitious port on the great
gulf" If The Journal is really
anxious TO have an answer to this
question the Pilot can give it by stat
ing that st. Andrews Bay and Pana-
ma City fully answer its demands

A Difficult Problem.

A problem that makes the Pensaco-

by the big trees that in some parts OF

killing them or stunning their future

sacolians are DESTROYS OF improving
the natural beauty Of their city,
rather than diminish it in any degree
whatsoever. they naturally feel that

however, that the time must come as
