Yesterday we said that if Seeretary of State DIryan was for (‘olonel Cal- fhoun for collector of the port of Tampa the issue mizht as well be regarded as settled. Congressman L Engle called on Secretary Bryan t:st weck and from his letter in Dixie telling of the visit, we take the following which makes it plain erough who {8 going to be the next collector of customs for Florida, whether the office is in Tampa or Jacksonville: “Now,” sald the Peerless to me, “pow about my friend Calhoun? J want him to be collector of customs for Flerida, There is one man in the United States who I am going to personally recommend for appoint- ment, and that’s my friend Calhoun. He's a good man and has been my fifend for many years. When he lived in my home town and was ed- itinz a newspaper there, he was the first man to mention me for Con- gress. I was elected to Congress and one of the first things 1 did was to ask President Cleveland to appoint him postmaster at Lincoln, and the president turned me down, notwith- standing the custom then, and sines, prevailing for the representative to name the postmaster in his home town. I haven’t had a chance to rec. ommend my friend for office since, tut I have not forgotten my obliga- tien to do so, and now that I have the chance, T am determined to get him this appointment if I can.” 00 Bro. Milton Smith is now grind- ' fng out his Tallahassee Daily Demo- erat rivht along and it is filling a long-felt want. But if Bro. Smith | will pardon us we wonld suggest to fiim that he must have an editorial page for his daily. The legislators may disparaze that page of a paper and affect to think lightly of it as a matter of little or no consequence, but they don’t think that way, in fact. Just touch one of them “on the raw” on that paze of the paper and his affected indifference instant- Iy dizappears and he is keen to re- eent it and put himself right on the particular issue involved. The opin- fcns of Mr, Editor in cold type are like the opinions of the individual expressed by word of mouth—they have weight an dexert influence just fn proportion to their real value, with the large advantage in favor of the editor that he can reach a thou- oand where the Individual reaches a dozen and what he may say has a cer- ] from Alachua, Putnam, Clay, and Bradford. This county is to be name:! | Santa Fe in case it becomes a county - There's another from Washington.! with Panama City as the county seat. to be known as Bay county, and an- other from Dade, with Ft.

Parents tailing to obey this law will be prop- erly penalized unless conditions make it abgolutely necessary for them to keep their children from scheol. Unless this provisicn of the! bill is extremely specific parents no: favorable to compulsory education will be very likely to find a way to keep their kids away from school As a matter of abstract reasoning elucation should be made as com- pulsory as obedience to the criminai statutes, for ignorance and crime are elosely related, twin evils, in fact, what it can to prevent both. Com- pulsory education is on the way all over the world, for ignorance is the chief menace of the human race, ——00 There are some big propositions be fere the Florida Legislature, but by long odds the biggest is the bill in- troduced by Senator Calkins to bring about the long desired reform in the Florida prison system. This reform involves the abolition of the convier lease system at the expiration of the present lease, the establishment of a State penitentiary and prison farm in Eradford county and the use of con- victs in the construction of public roads. It is understood that the Cai- kins bill embodies the ideas of Gov- ernor Trammell on this subject as expressed in his message and it is a conservative measure which seems to be practicable. It will be interesting to note what the constructive states- manship in the Legislature will do with this issue. e A Lawyers and others who are paid to do the work of lobbyists in the Legislature have no inherent right to ply their vocaticn without restric- tions. Theirs is a gainful occupa- tion and it should be regulated by law as other gainful occupations. The Legislature has the right to choos: ith own company in the matter of lob- Lyists and there should be no crit’ cirm of its rule recently established 'requiring people of this kind to se- "cure permission of the House before ‘appearing before any committee to work for or against legislation and providing an adequate penalty for | { violation of the rule. | —o0 l The illness of Chairman Underwood ' comes at a very inopportune time for | the party in Congress. He is the chief of tariff experts in the House; no op- { ponent can “rattle” him in debate lnnd with the new tariff bill just com- irg on for discussion, Mr. Under- wood's profound knowledge of the $NING TELEGWRM, AR can keep up this stride his adminis- tration will be one of unexampieu pepularity. e O—— The new Statc of West Florida is a subject not likely to be broached ot the present cession of the ic~is- lature. It mizht as well not be, fo. the horse laugh awaits it whenever it shows up. Public sentiment won': ke ripe for that issue for many years to come. It will arrive about th: sume time that woman suffrage does. — A Little Nonsense Now and Then For' Breakfast. It was early in the history of the new household, says the Boston Post. “What have we got for breakfast Ccar?” asked Mr. Justwed. His wiie looked at him wita trcubled eyes. “It was to have been bacon,” she soid, “but poor cook's burnt it.” “Pcor cook!

U V—— At this distance there seems to be some coolness up at Tallahassee in the matter of the proposed constitu- tional convention to frame a new or- ganic law for Florida. The fight is rot yet on over a joint resolution to that effect, but it is coming and there will be heavy pressure brougk: to bear to put the proposition through. Our political intuitions tell vs that there isn't going to be any constitutional convention. e (.
