Gibbons will not tempt to contest today’s election. at- Doubtless one Mr. Milton has en- joyed seeing how many kinds of a political fool Col. Gibbons could make of himself. Not rushing anybody, but we wouldn't mind seeing a little active work begun looking towards the in- illation of that gas plant. Yes—it's pretty warm, but they have already begun to die of heat ir the northern States. They never do that down here, anyway. Justice moves swiftly in Florida— when the offender is a negro and without means to purchase the hun- dred and one processes of the law's delay. Otherwise—otherwise, The Florida canteloupe is a bene- diction that is just now resting on the people of this State, making them happier, healthier and more godly. —n Either some candidates are lying very braVely or there'll be some bad- 1y disappointed ones in the cold gray light of tomorrow morning. All of them profess to be dead sure of elec- tion. Sidna Allen seems to be strictly at home in the tall timbers, yet he doesn’t invite anybody to call and see him, 1If he will answer this ad- vertisement he will hear something to his disadvantage, Let's all quit this everlasting grind and go to raising cattle. Beef sold In New York yesterday at 13 7-8 cents wholesale. The poor, down- trodden, conspired-against farmer who has a few heef cattle to sell finds it mighty hard to keep up his grouch and appearances of poverty these days, Frankly, we have never seen any- thing particularly obnoxious about a “full pocketbook™ —except that the other fellow had it and we didn't. It's a great thing to make political capital of, though serving well the purpose of the demagogue who is willing to array class against class in bitter warfare, provided his own personal advancement is there- by accomplished. Three negroes are to be hung at St. Augustine on Friday. A general wish was given expression that the disgusting spectacle might be pri- vate and not expoted to the view of the morbidly curious. It developed, however, that no provision for any expense to insure this privacy is made by the State -not even to the extent of building a fence about the scaffold. Citizens, however, succeed- ed in having the view of the grue- some sight obstructed The next legislature should make such pro- vision as will insure privacy for al executions in the State. One of the surprises that come 1o med sometimes in dealing with odi- tors is that thay can get things printed in a newspaper without its costing then a cent, which they baven't money enough to buy.

ALWAYS SHOWS UP THERE. A dollar and a penny once hap- pened to come together in the same pocket and the dollar at once began tc put on airs like a red cow in a new barnyard. “l am a big gun,” said the dollar, “and you are & no- body. 1 am white and bright, and you are only a dull, mud-colored lit- tle Indian. 1 am religious, for 1 am all the time saying, ‘In God we trust,’ and you are only a pagan. 1 am pa- triotic, for on one side 1 have the American eagle and on the other the Goddess of Liberty, and I buy lots of fireworks for the Fourth of July.

IN CUBA. To those who are acquainted with Cuba and Cuba conditions and who prize the peace and quiet and safety of their American homes there must come a strong feeling of gratitude if they once successfluly resisted an attack of Cuba fever, and it must b, still stronger if none of their Leople succumbed to it For Cuba, with all its natural richness and beauty, is no place at all for those who love the comfort and peace and security of a civil- ized land. Outside of a few centers the country is raw and wild and the people uncivilized; the Kkind that seek an existence without labor, that hnow little restraint and respect none, and that are ever ready and iooking for a chance to have trou- Lle. Americans living in the cities are sufe enough, but the briel accounts of the negro uprising and depreda- tions in Oriente province, the far east, suggest to us many awful pos- sibilities, and many serious probab- ilities. There are many Americans, scattered through the sparsely set- tled sections, mere handfuls in a place, or even one family, many tuiles from any other and from any suaranty of security tor either per- son or property. \We know a number in that section whose families, the wives and children especially, must row be living in the agonies of dread, 1t is very generally believed there that the instability of governmental affairs must sooner or later bring Cuba under the American flag, and perhaps it will; but there will be much blood shed before it comes, and worlds of trouble for years after. We feel sorry for all prosen.t Amer- ican occupants off the remoter parts i the big island, even if some are retting rich- -and some are. And their riches can be wiped out in a night when incendiarism is ram- pant. We love to travel; and one of the best things about it is the more we travel the more we like the United States - St. Petersburg Times.
