Attacked and stabbed by a stranger
he had befriended, Justice James Grogan
disarmed and arrested his assailant and
later committed him to Jail to await
action OF the grand jury. The prisoner
gave the name of George Wilson, of
England. A week ago he called upon
Grogan and asked for work, and the
magistrate found him job with C. F.
Fish, contractor. Wilson appeared at
the magistrates Office Thursday night
and demanded his wages. Grogan re-
ferred him to Fish, his employer, but
the fellow insisted that Grogan paw him
and, drawing knife, attacked the offic-
ial. Grogan received deep knife wound
in the shoulder before he could disarm
the frantic visitor. An investigation
will be made into the prisoners sanity.

such good work for him that
"Progressives" and "re-actionar-
les" agreed that they were and
are justly entitled to some recog-
milton by the administration. But
it seems that they, as well as other
good men in this state who sup
ported Mr.. Wilson for the nomi-
nation, have been ignored. We
believe that, if Mayes and Griggs
had supported Roosevelt and
Roosevelt had won, they would
have been recognized and honored
before now.

The newspaper correspondents
at Tallahassee are making them
selves "solid" with members of
the legislature by writing fatter-
ing notices of them Individually.
These correspondents are all apt
to be held responsible for big
crop of gubernatorial and congress
sional candidates in the near flu
ture. They try to make every
member of the legislature believe
that he is the very man for con-
gresham or governor or United
States senator.

In 1877, store manager at
Yalaha, Fla, had a ten-gallon key
of gin, from which he sold two or
three gallons. Then, under cover
OF darkness, he went out to a
spring in Lake Harris in front of
his store, dipped up a pail of wa
ter and poured it into the gin key.
Next morning when customer
called for quart of gin AID the
manager drew it, both men were
shocked to observe that the liquor
was almost as black as crow.
Some mineral in the spring water
did the deed. Thereafter, the
gin sold at reduced price and,
combined with the joke on the
store manager, added greatly to
the hilarity of the village.

AS to the constitution of the
United States being against the
creation of the new state of West
Florida, it should be easy enough
to obivate that difficulty by buying
a few townships from Alabama
and a county or two from Georgia
and adding them to the proposed
new state. The federal constitu-
ton permits the formation of a
new state from parts of two or
more states.

The legislature continues to fur
nish abundant reason why there
should be no legislature.

A new railroad is going to be
built at once to every town in
South Florida. That is, we are SO

No Excuse for Them

bers of the legislature. Long be.
fore they met together, they were
fully advised by the newspapers
and Governor Trammell as to
what legislation is needed. A few
OF them introduced the requisite
bills, and then the endless and
fruitless discussion began.
The session is nearly ended, bare
ly ten working days remaining, land
yet as far as we are informed, not
one of themost important measures
has been passed. Foremost amongst
these are bills for the reformation
of our system of court procedure,
which were proposed by Hons.
W. A. Blonnt, j. b. Whitfield
and G. M. Cooper, who composed
the commission authorized by the
last legislature and appointed by
Governor Gilchrist.
Second in Importance is the tax
reform measure recommended by
another similar commission of
able and eminent men.
Third is Governor TrammelPs
bill for the reformation of our
convict system, which is approved
by nearly all Of the newspapers
and a large number of our ablest
citizens.
Fourth, the re-apportionmept of
representation in the legislature
on the basis of population, as re-
quired by the constitution, which
said constitution every member
took an oath to support.
If any one of these four mea-
sures has been passed, we have not
been able to ascertain. 1t is pos
sible that certain members of the
are trying to delay and
defeat these measures for the sole
reason that they are advocated by
the newspapers. 1t seems that this
"has it in" for the
as was indicated by
the treatment given the PROPOSE
ton to let Col. Wales sue the
state.
The newspaper men are evident
ly the most forgiving mortals;
otherwise, they would enter into
an oath bound league not to print
during campaign any political
whatsoever, whether ad-
vertising or editorial, nor to men
ton or make the slightest reference
to any candidate until the morning
after the election. That would
teach some politicians a wholesome
lesson and maybe the people, too,
would learn from it that the news
papers are not run wholly and
solely for money They live two
years between elections without
getting any money from candidates
and they can live hundred years
without such support. Parenthet-
ically, it should be said that this
is not condemnation of all poll
ticians, Office holders and aspirants
for Office, for many of them APP
preciate the newspapers at their
full value and it would be hard to
make them suffer for the sins of
newspaper enemies.
But this is depression. The
present legislature is no worse
than previous ones. Fact is, all
are bad and some worse. They are
useless burden upon the taxpayers.
Five to seven upright, wise men
are enough to govern the state.
They can submit proposed laws to
a vote of the people and declare
the result. They can also execute
