The New Party Being
Born at Chicago.

This week witnesses the birth at
Chicago Of what Senator Dixon, the
attending physician, and George w.
Perkins. the wet nurse for the infant,
are pleased to call the most remark
able political movement Of history.
The ACCOMPLISHMENT has been pre-
coded by as much advertising and dis
cussion as accompanies the coming
into this uncertain world of a kingly
heir. This has been due not so much
to interest in the expected child, as
TO the fact that T. r., who serves in
the capacity Of both father and mother,
is one Of the best advertising agents
in the world.
He can do nothing without making
considerable splash about it. He al
ways speaks with the air Of an oracle
who would say, When I ope my lips
let no dog bark" When ne expresses
an opinion, even though it be trite and
age-worn, it issues from his tongue
with a clatter. He can do nothing
without making a noise over it. We
suspect that when he walks his shoes
squeak. He is the rag-time band of
politics, the sounding brass and tink-
ling cymbal" of craftsmanship, the big
bass drum in the presidential cam
paign band-hollow. but resounding.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
his personally conducted party is
coming into being preceded and ac-
eompanied by an unprecedented clatter
e.
iieve that this tumult will eventually
be found to be all there is of the party.
Advertising can accomplish much. 1t
cannot create a firm and permanent
market for something for which there
is no well established need.
There is no market for the new
party. Few men of any commanding
influence or outstanding ability have
shown any inclination to join the
harlequin parade. 1t consists chiefly
of malcontents and DOWNS and outs
1t presents no real issue 1t comes
with only a pretense at progressiveism.
The third party can be no more pro-
gressive, within the bounds of reason,
than is the Democratic party, both in
its platform and its candidate.
The Democratic party represents
every good thing for which the new
party pretends to stand, and offers a
platform backed by a candidate of
splendid ideals, clean living, and
courage that is equal to any emer-
gency-a candidate who will not lose
his head, and assume that ne is the
mind Of the nation and that all things
viii 90 to ruin if he is not given
power.
The new party Is not needed. Its
only purpose is to pamper the over
weening ambition of one man. drunk
with egotism. That is not a SUFFICIENT
foundation upon which to build a sue
cessful political movement.
There is no market for the Pro-
grsssive party, and if we are not
greatly mistaken. when the Shouting
and the tumult die" and the smoke
and dust of the campaign have lifted,
there will be found few to follow the
colonel to his St Helena.

crate and extensive immigration bu-
reaus. the great continental railroads
leading into such states have similar
bureaus and every city and town has
systematic plans for advertising their
advantages and while the United
States government even has been as
sisting in turning the tide of i9nrni-
grafton that way, Florida has been
depending wholly on the real estate
vertising for settlers.
The truth about Florida is good
enough. Homeseekers will come this
way in whole companies and regiments
from all over the civilized world when
they learn the truth about Florida.
Unfortunately the real estate agents
and the land companies do not always
tell the truth and their misrepresen-
tations do the state a great deal of
harm.
Florida needs an immigration bu-
reau. The state needs a man or set OF
men, it matters not what the aggre-
gate is called, to tell the world the
whole truth about this state. Florida
needs to be advertised wisely, judi
ciously and systematically.
Intelligent farmers will not flock to
the Canadian northwest to purchase
farms in that bleak and barren cline,
where they can work only six months
in the year, when they find out they
can get good. fertile Florida lands in
this equable climate for IS and $40 an
acre, and even cheaper. They will
come here instead.
There is no doubt the present agri
cultural department of the state could
do some good work along this line, if
the legislature would appropriate a
liberal sum Of money and authorize
the work done. The next legislature
should economic in some other way
and appropriate enough money to at
least make an intelligent beginning.
Whatever is done must be done in
diligently, thoroughly and systematic
ally.
1t will cost considerable money, but
it will pay a hundred fold

WATER DEPARTMENT TO Sc
CURE BIDS FOR PUMPING STA
TON TO BE oPENED\ ABOUT
SEPT. IS.

Superintendent Sweeney. Of the
water department, was instructed by
the water and gas committee at the
regular meeting held yesterday morn
ing to proceed to prepare specifica-
lions and secure bids for the building
of the new pumping station, which the
committee decided upon building some
time ago.
The specifications will be prepared
and the bids advertised for at once
and it is thought that the bids will be
opened and the contract awarded
about Sept. Is, after which the work
of equipping the new pumping station
will proceed at once.
The new station will be quite an
addition to the many improvements
already made by the water department
during the year.

SADDLES PANIC ONTO
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION

Editor Pensacola Journal.
AS the nomination Of presidential
candidates has attracted so much at
tention for several weeks, and, on &C
count of a division in the Republican
party, the Democrats are hopeful of
victory, it brings to the minds of the
people, especially the farmers. that
long to be- remembered state of al
fairs during the last term of Cleve-
lands administration.
Although the personality of the man
nor the principle of the party, neither
of which might have been responsible
for the awful state of affairs, the
people cannot but look back to the
time with fear of a repetition of the
same conditions should a Democratic
president be elected this year.
Here are some figures which I
happen to find among some old papers.
It is FAR Of the cotton account of E.
+. Mason, then of Burnt Corn, Ala.
The bills show that he sold to Jas. K
Kyser and w. H. Belts, of Burnt Corn,
and Chas. B. Savage, of Evergreen,
Ala, six bales of cotton, aggregating
3, 603 POUNDS, which, amounts to seven
bales, averaging 514 ST pounds, for
the sum of S1S2.40, an-~ayerage of
S26.06 Al per bale.

REV. Mr.. PENDLEToN
ON SUNDAY CONCERTS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
After a few days absence up the
beautiful Sound country recreating,
my attention is called to the fact that
certain harmless utterances Of mine
appearing in your valued columns
have been wrested by certain people
into an approval of Sunday sports
A friend sent me a clipping from
a Montgomery paper with glaring
headlines, Minister Defends Sunday
Concerts" Others have hailed the
mild sermon approving of Bayview as
championing of all its Sunday fea-
lures. Thus I have become, without
my knowledge, a defender of Sunday
amusements. My purpose was to de-
fend the resort as a moral place. AS
a matter of fact, / not only did not
allude to the Sunday features, but did
not even have them in mind. I have
never been out there Sunday, and
did not know what they did, nor what
kind of music they had.
My mind has undergone no change
at all on Sunday observance, as some
think, but I deemed it inadvisable TO
drag in tie Sunday question into that
sermon, hut am rather disposed tC
leave it to the Christian common
sense IF the mana cement ont there.
They know the Protestant sentiment
on the SUNDAY question, and dare
say they will find it best to abide ny
it.
AS to Sunday concerts, am favora-
BILE to them under proper Christian
control, but after looking at last Sun .
days program as published for the
concert, I nm amazed. It is as feared
when sometime ago there was agita-
ton in favor of Sunday concerts for
the parks. the poorer taste is follow
ed and the tone is lowered. There
are pieces published last Sunday that
ought not to appear on any good pro
gram of music, and are out of all har-
mony with Sunday. One has to hear
enough about Turkey Trot' and
Beautiful Doll" and other ragtime
stuff, at the various resorts on week
days to nearly bring on locomotor
ataxia. and 1t is too much to be
afflicted with it on Sunday. To that
give my voice-nay. If the taste of
the people cannot pe lifted above
dance hall music, then leave it be.
Let's have sacred and appropriate
music and bar all dance hall pieces.
As to other Sunday features, I hope
the management, VIII find the right,
Christian way and follow it.
Most heartily for the public good,
EUGENE r. PENDLETON.

$4,000 PAID ON
CHURCH DEBT
CONGREGATION OF THE FIRST
METHODIST CHURCH HAS RAILS
ED THIS AMOUNT DURING THE
PAST SIX MONTHS.

Six months ago last Sunday the
congregation of the First Methodist
church adopted the plan of paying
something every week on the church
debt, which has been so burdensome
since the erection of the handsome
new building of worship.
Quietly, but persistently and cheer
fully, they have been working and
giving and the sum of $4,000 was
reached last Sunday.
While the material interest of the
church is being quickened. spiritual
power and life is being felt in the
regular services from time to time.
The young people especially are to
be commended for their work and de
votion to the church
The First Methodist church of Pen
sacoia certainly has bright future.

CHANGE PLANS
ON NORTH HILL
UNDERSTOOD THAT PAVING WILL
NOT GO THROUGH ALABAMA
SQUARE AS CONTEMPLATED.
BUT AROUND THAT PLACE.

NO paving will be run through Ala
bama square on North Hill as at first
contemplated. for the plans for paving
IN that section of the city will be SO
changed as to have the paving on
each side Of the square as at all other
points and not through the center.
Recently petitions were presented to
the bond trustees, one signed by a
number of residents of North Hill who
Favored the paving running through
the center of the square, thus leaving
large grass plots on each side.
The other petition objected to such
plans, and this petition contained
three times as many signers. It is
now understood that the board will
take favorable action on the latter and
order the plans changed.

What would you do if you had

This question is so old that it al
most belongs to the genus chestnut,
but it is interesting all the same.
Personally, if we had a million dol
lars we would buy new corncob pipe
and try to get two days off and go
to resort hotel. We might change
our minds, however and spend the
whole amount by riding in a taxi for
an entire evening. Tastes differ wide
ly, as the following expressions from
some of our faithful contributors will
show:
