TRIO OF PROGRESSIVE TOWNS

There are three cities in Florida
Of what may be called the second
rank between which there is a hard
and strenuous race for leadership in
their class. These are Orlando,
Lakeland and Ocala. In writing up
matter for this department we are
frequently struck with the far great
.er number Of times that we are fore
ed to mention one or the other of
these three-and sometimes all three
than any other cities in the state.
We mention them oftenest because
things happen in them most fire.
quently; in fact, something occurs in
one or the other of them every day.
One of the latest things in any OF
them is the meeting of the Board of
Trade of Ocala on the 5th inst. for
the purpose Of consulting with A. H.
lTwombley, the sewerage expert, who
has designed Tampa's system, in re-
gard to putting in a system for
Ocala.-Tampa Times.

Governor O'Neal of Alabama has
been assured by the leading lawyers
of his state that he has a legal
right to appoint an United States
senator to fill a vacancy until an
election can be held. He will there
fore proceed to appoint successor
to Senator Johnson, who died few
days ago. 1t remains to be seen II
the Senate will accept the appointee.
If it does, it will establish a prece-
dent to govern such cases in future
1t seems to the Star that an appoint
ment, pending an election, is proper
and Il is likely the democrats in the
Senate will take that view of it. II
is TO be expected, however, that the
republicans will look at it from q
partisan standpoint and vote accord.

IT'S A GOOD LAW
PUT IL IN EFFECT

4'he Times-Union, in discussing the
acts of the late legislature, is as
venomous as BiIIingsgate fish
wife, not any more elegant, and so
far as known, not as truthful. The
legislature made some mistakes, but
if the Times-Union and its crowd
could have controlled it, that paper
would have had only praises for it.,
if 1t had been ten times as foolish
and as many times dishonest.
The last thing that the T.-U. is
bowling about is the law instructing
sheriffs and police officers to destroy
pistols and other weapons taken
from criminals. The T.-U. says:
1--WE do not profess to have any in
side information as to who lobbied
for the passage Of the law requiring
the destruction Of valuable firearms,
but if we are allowed one guess it is
that the manufacturers of firearms
had an agent in Tallahassee"
If the Times-Union is truthful in
saying it had no inside information
as to who lobbied for the passage
Of the bill, it gives testimony that
no lobbying was done. The Times
Union was the champion of the lobby
and it isn't likely that it wasn't wise
to any schemes that were on foot.
And for the law, it was a good
one. 1t is an opinion advanced by
many good people that it is wrong
and highly inconsistent in the state
to confscate the weapon of. one
criminal, and put it back on the
market where it can be used by an
other. The majority of the pistols
sold at public auction go to the
paWnbroker shops, and nearly every
gun taken from a criminal is bought
at a pawnbroker's shop. There is
Ieyidence of this fact the nation over.
At least one big northern city has
had all confscated weapons destroy
ed or dumped in deep water.
The Star is not surprised to find
the Times-Union on the side of the
criminal or the would-be crimina.
who wants to buy gun cheap.
The legislature did we'll to dis
please the Times-Union. The mex
Legislature had better find out wha'
the Times-Union wants done ant
! then do different.

AS the discussion of how old is
Miami has overshadowed that of how
old is Ann, the Star begs leave to
add the following to the debate. Mi
ami was trading station with the
Indians over forty years ago. The
maps of the 1890 edition of the En-
cyclopedia Britannica show the place
as the county seat of Dade county.
The editor of the Star has an atlas
published in the early eighties which
marks Miami as an important place.
He also visited Miami in 1887, and
found there big store, one or two
smaller places, a postofice, a fish
house or two, and quite number Of
houses scattered around in mile of
the postoffice. Unless he mistakes
greatly, however, the courthouse of
Dade county was at either Jupiter or
Juno at that time, and the two
places were connected by an eight
mile railway. Why not ask any one
Of a hundred old residents of the
East Coast who sailed their boats on
Indian river and Biscayne bay in the
eighties. There must be some Of
them left.

The Star doesn't approve of the
section in the law which allows only
a freebooter TO vote in the bond cleo
ton. Many a brainy man who owns
not rod of real estate would vote
for better education, and some mar
row-minded property owner might
resent the idea of helping to educate
his neighbours children. The Star
doesn't believe there are many such
narrow men in Ocala. Tuesday next
will tell.
