DIVISION OF FLORIDA.

It appears that there is a very ac-
tive and earnest effort in Florida for
the division of that State into East
and West Florida. These two portions
of the State are so diverse, those of
the east side, especially, fronting the
Atlantic, being so entirely different
from those of the west section along
the Gulf, that the two sections are
more diverse than is usual even among
the people of two adjoining States.
As long as there was nothing in par
ticular in East Florida, either by way
of population or wealth, to have any
political weight, West Florida had
everything its own way, and the Gulf
portion OF the State was practically
'tthe whole thing But Henry NJ
Flagler made East Florida by build
ing the Florida East Coast Railway.
East Florida was either a swamp or
sandy desert; but with the building
of that road the swamps were drained,
the sandy barrens fertilized. and the
whole East coast was transformed into
a succession Of wonderful small farms,
with resident land holdings. Some
Of this land was good orange land,
some best for grape fruit, and in other
places pine apples were grown, and
vast quantities Of tomatoes and other
vegetables, The pine forests disap.
peared and the whole land was made
a garden.
This created new population and
new wealth, making rivalry with
West Florida that was not only keen
in itself, but a large proportion of
this new population along the East
coast was from the North, an enter
prising, businesslike people. who have
small patience with the lstless and
tardy ways of the old settlers on the
West side. The Flagler road put the
people on the East coast directly in
touch with the great business and

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADDRESS

The address of President Wilson at
the celebration yesterday on the bat
tlefield of Gettysburg, is fine COM
position. The President entered fully
into the spirit Of the occasion, and of
the period which the great jubilee cele
bration at that place has brought CON
spicuously before the public at this
versary of the surrender of Vicksburg
to General Grant, the Jubilee served as
remembrance of the two Federal tri
umphs which marked the turning point
in the great civil war.
Into the history or the controversies
Of that war President Wilson did not
enter. His address was devoted to the
development of the country since the
peace of that war was won, and since
the people were freed from the menace
OF slavery, so that they could proceed
with undivided minds to the greater
development of our country. And he
dwelt with enthusiasm upon the mighty
growth OF the Nation since that glori-
Gus peace came.
The President gave expression to the
thought that as the men who had Just
finished celebrating the jubilee ami
versary Of the great battle at that
place had shown supreme devotion to
the cause Of the Union, so would the
descendants of these men, and other
citizens Of the Republic, come to its
rescue at time Of need, should unfor-
tunately such sacrifice be demanded.
Great constitutional questions were set
tied by that war, but the greatest of
them was that the Union was no mere
loose aggregation of States, but COM
pact Nation, in the great Union COM
panionship Of which no State having
once entered is at liberty to withdraw.
The Nation Is unit, cemented by the
blood shed at Gettysburg and on other
battlefields, and that cementing shall
never he allowed to break.
1t would be invidious to make com
parison between this address and the
address delivered by President Lincoln
on the dedication of that battlefield
and National cemetery, November 10,
1868. 1t is enough to say, that we can
not expect to have comparisons of this
kind drawn to the advantage Of pres"
ent orators. Lincoln as the great fig
ure Of The War stands supreme. AS
the great orator at Gettysburg he is,
and is likely ever to be, unrivaled,
But it can candidly be said that Presi-
dent Wilson IS address was worthy of
the occasion, worthy of his high re-
pute, and Of the great office which he
holds

According to this, the widowed and
divorced men are the ones among whom
death reaps its greatest and richest har-
vest. Then come the unmarried men,
at no very great distance behind, save
only in the one period from twenty to
twenty-nine. Beyond that the widow
ers. the divorced and the unmarried
men keep along pretty we'll together
Putting it all together, the married
men have very decided advantage
compared with the widowed and di.
vorced and unmarried men.
1t is stated, that while the unre-
strained bachelor leads a free, selfish
life, that very unrestraint tends to
shorten life. Freedom from restraint
and home ties apparently is bad for him
and his days are cut short accordingly.
Mr., Wilcox is very positively Of the
opinion that the comparative length of
life of the married man is due largely
to the fact that ''he is supervised thor
oughly." He is looked after in his
diet, in his clothing, and in his habits,
and where he may be predisposed to
things that are not good for him, his
dIrectorin chief, his admonitory coun~
selor at home, sees to it that he is
dressed down properly when he trans
crosses, and in a way that is likely to
linger in his mind.
A companion table of the above
shows about the same good results for
the married women as for the married
men, save only that between the ages
of twenty and twenty-nine the married
woman has no advantage, but with
women, as with men. widows and di-
vorcees are at the head Of the mortality
list at all times.

JAPANESE INVESTIGATORS,

IT appears that the japanese are not
willing to accept the record as made
up in California as to the Judgment
of the people Of this country upon their
coming hither and remaining with us.
1t appears that they love us so well
that they cannot realize that we do not
love them and desire to have them
with Us. And so they have sent two
agents TO spy out the land,'' as the
children Of Israel sent Caleb and others
TO spy out the land Of Canaan.
The japanese agents, who are sent
to learn the real sentiment Of this
country, have evidently determined
that they will not take the worst at
first, but will approach it gradually;
and so they have landed in New York
to make their initial study there as to
the anti-Japanese feeling existing in
this country, Their experiences in New
York, and New England, if they go
there only, will no doubt be entirely
satisfactory to them. They will find
that in New York and in New ENGLAND
there is no justification to be found
for the anti-Japanese feeling which ex-
lists in California. They will find
plenty Of people in New York and in
New England who will not only deny
that such feeling exists, or ought to
exist, but Will express their desire
that the japanese will settle in this
country as much, as long, and as often
as they like, and to become natural.

love for America will be reciprocated
in New York and New England. But

ticed it, that there are SO few Japanese
in New York and in New England that
there is not yet any irruption upon the

ditions of that community. But the
complacency which the New Workers
and Now Englanders view this irrup-
tion with the community life of Cali
fornia cannot be denied.
If the Japanese should GO home from
New York, they would be able to make
report that would be well designed
to make commotion in California.
and spread great content in Japan
But if California should make vio
lent protest against that report as be-
lying the real American sentiment that
knows, then there would be nothing
left but for the Japanese to say that
they had better not go to California
any more, but should confine their cmi-
grafton to the United States to New
England, New York. and the Atlantic
coast. After a decade or two of I'M
restricted japanese immigration on the
Atlantic coast, if n like commission
out how the people liked the Japanese,
those who undertook that commission
would find things so unlike those found
described in the report which had been
made, as TO startle Japanese statesmen
and to cause them to wonder what had
come over their good friends in the
Eastern part Of the United States.
There is nothing like the experience
given by practical contact to give
actual knowledge; and it is a certain
thing that the people OF the Western
part of the United States would be
entirely willing to let the people on
the Eastern shore have the benefit of
the japanese immigration henceforth.

1t is East Florida that is making

takes form in the proposed Constitu'

exemption purposes the similar propo.
sition that is so general among the

argument is that since these necessary
facilities for life and the working at
trades arc essential, and therefore in
the public interest are exempt from
execution, the public interest, as it is
to be further provided for, now pro.
poses to make the articles already ex.
empt from execution, exempt also from
taxation. Five thousand queries were
recently sent out to residents in all
the counties, and ninety-eight per cent
Of the answers received were in favor
