Meyers Plan Would
Leave the South Defenseless
Jacksonville Times-Union.

Here is d proposition that has moth
ing of the pork barrel in it, according
to the administration idea of the pork
barrel. AS matter OF fact, the pork
is all there, but it is not for general
distribution. A few will eat while
many will look on
The proposition comes from Secre-
tary Meyer. 1t provides for the New
York navy yard 81, 469 900: for Boston,
S425,00O: for Philadelphia, S517 900:
for Washington, $134 500; for Norfolk,
$347, 500; for Charleston, Port Royal,
Key West, Pensacola and New Orleans
combined, 100000. For a line Of
northern coast not more extensive
than that of Florida alone, 1888, 900,
and for line of southern coast three
times as long, not one cent.
Secretary Meyer proposes to aban-
don the New Orleans navy yard and
says: Its position up the river is
such that in time Of war Or threatened
war no large vessels should be sent
there on account of the danger of the
passes being blocked" Isn't it strange
that while he said this SO glibly about
New Orleans ne forgot to say it about
Philadelphia and instead proposed an
appropriation of $4,000 for a navy
yard that is up the river" just like
that of New Orleans.
Secretary Meyer proposes to aban-
don the navy yards of the South At
lantic and Gulf. Here is his argu-
ment:
1t should be pointed out here tha;
in time of war there are two distinct
lines of communication around Cuba
from Guantanamo to Key West and
the cities of the gulf coast. The guii
coast, being so entirely protected BY
our fleet in the Caribbean. can safely
send supplies from all its cities to the
Isthmus OF Panama and to our fleet
in the Caribbean. Il may be conf
IDENTITY predicted that in time of var
the cities will be. from their natural
security, the chief sources OF supplies
and material and the probable PORTS
from which our troops will em;-ark
either for the isthmus for further tram
sit or for service in the Caribbean,
as may be required
The statement that our gulf coast
is so entirely protected by our feet
in the Caribbean" is about as ridic,.-
lous as any We have ever seen and
the absurdity of it is heightened BY
the idea that two distinct lines of

Pensacola Has a
Right to Be Proud

Pensaoolians who have lived here a
long time as we'll as those whose resi-
dence has not dated hack SO far, unite
in the belief that Pensacola is the last,
best spot, where one wants to make a
final location, after seeing all the
other good places in the country.
This admiration for Pensacola, 'ts
beauties of nature and wonders Of eli
mate, is not confined to the real resi-
dents. The stranger within the gates
and the casual visitor gets enthusiast
tic also.
Witness this from that able and ex-
cellent newspaper, of the east coast.
the Miami Metropolis:
Pensacola has right to get up and
strut all around Florida and receive
the. Obeisance of all the rest of the
Chanticlers who can crow about good
ly prosperity. She has added FIVE thou
sand. two hundred and eighty-three in
habitants to her city directory in the
last ten years. She has not only in
creased the number of her residents
but has grown in the size and beauty
VI HcI III lutt SCUpS anu &C
tivity of her business and has lost not
a shade of the charm and culture OF
her citizenship.
Yes. Pensacola has done well. 1t is
true that there was some disappoint.
ment about the figures of population
given out by the census bureau, but
the residents of the city know that
owing to incompetent census officials
several thousand people did not get
counted.
In spite Of this, Pensacola made a
good showing and shows a healthy in
crease.
What our esteemed contemporary
says about the beautiful new buildings
and the activity Of the business men,
makes the resident realize that his
lines are cast in pleasant places and
that Pensacola is and always will be
a real home town as we'll as a great
and growing commercial center.

A Great Policy
OF Road Building.

Up in the mountains in the south
western portion of Virginia, the back
woods counties, Wise, Lee and Scot.
have just authorized the Issuance of
bonds aggregating a million and half
dollars, the proceeds to be devoted t.
constructing hard roads on a compre-
hensive scale.
These counties were settled nearly
two hundred years ago and are I'M
mensely rich in natural resources but
are almost entirely undeveloped owing
to their isolation. They do not have
the best railroad facilities and their
country roads are vile. They certain
ly have adopted a policy that should
be emulated by every county in the
southern states. The very large scale
on which they begin their work shows
that they are in earnest and that they
mean business. Such OUTLAWS are the
strictest economy.
Money SO spent returns TO its in
vestors profits OF an hundred fold.
