NO BONDS REPupIATED.

Inc investor Sulue DepaTI IlSHt
of the Chicago Tribune, having laid
stress upon the alleged Reputation OF
| bonds to the amount of $8,00O,00O, B.
r. Kessler, of Jacksonville took up the
matter with Ernest Amos, state comp
troller of Florida, who has given out
the following statement:
The State of Florida has never re-
pudiated an indebtedness of any kind
of description, and there is not a single
bond outstanding in the hands of any
person, firm or corporation that was
issued by the State of Florida at any
time before or since the war of 1S61-65.
or course, during the war between the
states, bonds and money were issued
by Florida as one of the Confederate
States, and the payment of these was
prohibited by the act of Congress, I'M
der which the state of Florida was re-
admitted to the Union.
THE $S,OOO,O0O of bonds which the
Chicago Tribune mentions, were what
were known as 'Littlefield Bonds" au-
thorized by the legislature of 1879 to
be issued by the Jacksonville, Pensa-
cola and Mobile Railroad Company, but
were never issued. All except few
of them were cancelled and destroyed
by fire by a committee of the legisla-
ture and by decree of the supreme
court. Not one of these bonds was
legally entered and never constituted
a liability of the State of Florida.
I do not see how it is possible that
the State of Florida should be held
liable for bonds it never issued and
which never went into the hands of in
dividuals, persons or corporations, and
were, in fact, locked up in safe in
Tallahassee until destroyed by fire by
a committee of the legislature, with the
exception of a small amount Of bonds
extracted from the lot by some author
ICED person, and for which the State
of Florida never received one cent.
The people of this state are proud
of it's record and resent such unwar-
ranted and uncalled for statements that
at any time in its history a bond or
obligation of any kind was repudiated,
except at the expressed demand and
requirement Of Congress when this
state was readmitted to the union. The
state of Florida is paying for every
thing that it purchases, has no float
ing debt of any kind, and there is not
a single bond issued by the State of
Florida in the hands of any individual,
firm or corporation anywhere.
1T is true that the educational funds
of the state, which are under the di-
rection of the state school board and
state treasurer. and the legislature,
hold manuscript bonds to the sum of
1901, 567, but these are not on the mar
ket and could not be bought for any
price.
Florida has not asked for nor re-
ceived dollar for the purchase of a
bond since 1873, and the constitution
of Florida prohibits the issuance of
bonds. except to repel invasion or to
suppress insurrection. The Safe of
Florida bond issued in 1878 were all
retired, and there is not a single one
outstanding"
This statement of Mr.. Amos is par
ticularly interesting, in view of the
fact that an amendment to the consti-
tuition to empower the state to issue
bonds, will come before the next meet
ing of the legislature.

The Difference Is SIiaht.

We have long been accustomed in
this country to the struggle between
capital and labor, and we are used to
the vituperative methods of either to-
ward tho other. And yet a study of
what is influencing both brings US to
the conclusion that each has the same
motive, one neither better nor worse
than the other. Capital wants to keep
what it has. Labor wants to get what
capital has. Why one should be an
altruistic aim and the other a selfish
one is more than we can see. Capital
dresses up its desires to retain what it
has in various high sounding phrases,
"normalcy,' prosperity intelligent
guidance" and labor does the same by
claiming brotherhood, and the supe-
riority of the masses over the classes.
And yet in America today the differ
ence between capital and labor is so
slight that it is positively inter
changeable, the 1aborer often becoming
a capitalist and the capitalist often
becoming a laborer.-Mianli Herald

Keep Religion Out of Politics.

News from Palatka recently publish
ed suggests that the republican ma
tional party is planning to employ re-
lgious prejudices in an attempt to
break the solid front that the state
has always held for democracy. It is
mentioned that the argument of Prot
estant against CATHOLIC, used with such
unfortunate results four years ago. is
to be revived and strong efforts will be
made to get up scare concerning the
policies of the democratic presidential
candidate. The report says that it will
be spread about that Cox has a Ro-
man Catholic wife and is more or less
under the domination of that religious
organization, although it is a matter OF
record and very well known that Gov
Cox is a member Of a Protestant or
ganization, and no word has ever been
uttered against him on the ground of
religious favor or preference during his
somewhat extended political career.
With some people. however, facts are
not required when a sensational story
is told, and unless some pains are
taken by those who are interested in
maintaining the stability and progress
of the state, TO forestau and contra

As announced in our telepraphic col ..

Tampa has been selected by the state
democratic executive committee for the
fourth time to be its chairman. This
gives us much pleasure. If there are
loyal, unselfish and willing workers for
the democratic cause in this state,
George Raney stands in the very fore
front. He has given freely, Doth of
time and money, to keep the party
aligned ever since he entered politics in
his early manhood. He has inherited
all the great qualities of his d1stin-

In Hoboken, n. j., in large survey
ing instrument factory, there Is col
ony of 200 workmen who never re-
cejye wages. yet who are perfectly
contented. They toll from early in
the morning until late at night, and
their only recompense is house ny
or two apiece during the day. They
are spiders, large, black, energ"tc
spiders, and they comprise probably
the most indispensable part OF the en-
tire working force. II Is their duty
to spin the thread that is used for
cross hairs in surveying instruments
During the two months of the year
when they work they produce thou
sands of yards of the almost invisible
but invaluable fiber.
The spider colony works only dur
ing August and September. a strike
among them may sound amusing to
the reader, but it is really a serious
matter. For the purpose OF urging
the little workmen to their tasks four
girls, lTdlHed 10 ehp'i th'0' III ''"'i
unusual duties, are employed; it is
their task to coax the spiders to work
whenever they show signs of reluc'
tance.
Coaxing the spiders really means ir
ritating them. The girl places one on
her hand and pats or taps 1t until it
i,rnnc toward the ground leaving one
end of its thread behind. Before the
spider can reach the ground the girl
quickly attaches the thread to a wire
whirling frame, which she revolves in
her hands AS the spider struggles
to reach the ground she continues to
wind, and in that way sometimes gets
several hundred feet Of thread from
a single spider.
