ONE RECRUIT, BUT AN ABLE ONE

The Tampa Tribune, although print
ed at one of the seaport cities, is de-
handing from the railroads an equal
ity of freight rates for all points in
Florida. 1t is the only newspaper in
Florida emanating from a seaport
city that is doing so. All praise
be showered upon the Tribune,
The Tribune says that the rate on
white paper from New York TO Jack
sonville is Is cents per hundred From
New York 10 Tampa it is % cents per
hundred.
The shipment Of this paper from
New York to Tampa via Jacksonville
passes directly through OcaIa. Does
the Tribune know that if it were put
of at Ocala instead of being shipped
on through to Tampa that the freight.

NEW WORK

New Workers are proud of their city
and have a right to be proud Of it.
They are proud of its parks and its
wonderful buildings. They are proud
of its mammoth hotels, its restaurants
and cafes. They are proud Of its the
atrical attractions and its museums
of art They are proud Of its elevat-
ed railways, its subways, the tunnels
under its rivers and its suspension
bridges. They are proud Of its bank
ing institutions and its wholesale and
department stores. They are proud
of its police and fire departments and
the singular integrity of its courts.
They are proud of its newspapers and
it's churches. its schools its colleges
and its hospitals. They are proud Of
its magnificence as a whole. They
are proud of everything but the pOi1ti-
cal organization that governs it. But
for their partisan prejudices they
would be proud of it. 1t is worthy Of
praise. 1t is one Of the few organiza-
tons in this country that has set the
example Of seIf-purifcation. It has
taken hold Of its own offenders and
clothed them in prison stripes Has
Philadelphia done anything Of that
kind? Has Pittshurg? What Other
city has done so on this continent?
It was William NJ Tweed that made
New York's wide streets and magnifi-
cent parks possible. He was doing
this at the same time that Alexander
was making Washington City
the most picturesque and beautiful
city in the country. While living both
men were traduced and Inundated.
and no one with courage enough has
yet been found to tell the truth about
Tweed and to give him the praise he
so we'll merited.
The politics Of the press of New
York are the most rotten in this cOun-
try. Believing that a majority Of the
rlch OF the city are republicans they
are always toadying to them; kissing
their shoe latchets or performing any
other Service 10 curry favor with

There are Iimitless opportunities in

men are lOking for investors in any
of their enterprises why not get the
money at home. where there are many
great milliOnaires who fully under

Washington investments, or from the
north, where there is ample capital
seeking investment in good things? If
the speculation in real estate is a
good one, it is still unnecessary for
the south TO be called upon TO give

Mr.. FLAeLER's GENEROSITY

Zone touch of nature makes the
whole world kim" was the exclama
ton of the immortal bard. And how
true that is. How quick we are tC
weep with those that weep and re
joice with those that rejoice
In Ocala's great conflagration We
lost printing Office and home, and we
remember until. this day the kindness
fes we received from wholly unexpect-
/ ed sources.
An almost universal opinion obtain
ed that Jay Gould was a purely sOr-
did man and nothing could separate
him from his dollars, but when Mem
phis, Tenn. was afflicted with a
great scourge he teIegraphed the may
or to draw on him for $4,000 a day as
long as the afflicted city needed a
dollar
So far as We were concerned all the
mean things said about Jay Gould
Immediately took wings and flew
away, No amount of argument could
make us believe that he had a bad
heart, and we believe that Helen
Gould inherited her generosity from
her father.
1t did not take the calamity that
has befallen Key West to show the
kindness of Mr.. Flagler's heart. and
the bigness Of his soul because both
have been shown many times before,
but it does one good to see that he is
never happier than when lifting all
forms of distress.
From the effects of the great storm
that recently visited our coast he was
by long odds the biggest sufferer. He
lost not only in dollars and cents, but
the great work that he is so anxious
to see completed has been retarded.
and it will be months longer in its
completion. Yet in the face of his
own caIamities he wires to George w.
Allen the following dispatch:
Please present an appreciation of
my sincere sympathy to Mayor Fogar-
ty and the officials of Key West. and
draw on me at sight for funds to re-
lieve suffering there"
1t will be seen that he places no
limit to the amount-or, rather, it is
only limited by the amount of suffer
ng
In addition to the above dispatch
ne also sent the following:
"Hon. Geo. W. Allen: Mr.. H. Wal !
.ers (AtlanTic Coast Line) joins me
n authorizing P. & o. to transport |
rom Port Tampa and Miami free of !
charge supplies necessary to relieve /
in Key West. H. NJ. Flagler"
He also wired the officials of the |
Florida East Coast line TO transport /
Ill supplies for the sufferers, whether
IN the mainland or keys. free
Few men ever lived with a bigger
leart and bigger soul than Henry N.
7lagler. and it takes calamities like
hat which has just overtaken Key
Vest to sound their great depths.
We are sincerely glad that this gen
ration has given birth to such men,
or We know that the world will be
blessed by their example

THE WAR Is OVER

In welcoming the Confederate vet.

crat among other things, comment
ed significantly as follows:
The war between the states seems
now to belong to ancient times. The
present generation, arrived since Ap-
pomattOX, look back to . almost as
We, their elders, look further hack TO
the earlier wars of the republic, and
even to the veterans themselves,
those terrible and heroic days are be-
ginning to lose the sharpness of their
outlines and are fading into the past
like dreams. Those veterans were
actors in the most StupendOus and mo-
mentOus drama of modern times.
They fought and suffered and endured
all things and alternately won and
lost and finally ceased the unequal
struggle from sheer exhaustion, and
when the end came the whole world
stood at respectful attention in the
presence of men who had made their
marvellous record and ended their IL
tanic struggle with none Of the shame
or humiliation that is so often the bit
ter portion of the vanquished. Even
the enemy they had fought paid many
tribute to their valOr, and Grant re-
fused to march his victorious army in
triumph through the Confederate cap
ital it had so hardly won at such fear
full cost"
Yes, next year will be the fftieth
anniversary of Lincoln's election, and
the year following we snail be hold
ing anniversaries of the firing on
Fort Sumter.
We are glad that the scars are be-
ing healed and all bitter memories are
fading away as a dream of the night.
Had it not been for the politicians
the stay-at-homes" when fighting
was to be done-the ugly pictures
that were enacted would have long
since faded from memory.
Grant acted with simple greatness
at Appomattox. No act of his shone |
with more resplendant grandeur. He
refused to humiliate his great antag-
onist
The captains of antiquity had set
a different example. They had exhib-
tied their captives in cages in their
triumphaI marches through their prin-
cipal cities.
Lee, too, set a sublime example. He
scoffed at all offers 10 use his name
for the exploitation of anything look
ing like cOmmercialism. He began
to beat his sword into a
pruning hook" and started on his ca
reer as an instructor Of the youth of
the land, counseling all the while the
restoration of good feeling between
the sections.
1t is a great pity that the example
Of these two great chieftains-the cen
trail figures in thar titanic struggle
had not been followed Had it been,
how much bitterness would have been
avoided. and how much better it n
would have been for all concerned.
After fifty years let us rejoice that
its bitter memories have faded away
md let US now consecrate ourselves
TO the high purpose of making peace /
more renowned than war" f
Let us work TO make our country I
worthy the place it occupies among
