As the leading marine concen- tration base on the gulf, Pensacola will have no very hard kick coming. e James Whitcomb Riley, now in Florida to escape the rigors of a northern winter, may not find his frost on the pumpkin nor his fodder in the shock as he did back in In- diana, but he’ll find strawberries in midwinter, a climate to rejuvenate him and so many other good thinge that he’ll feel like writing poetry once again. We expect some good things from his pen while he tarries Wwith us. 0 Thus far we have refrained from offering a worid of shop-early-Christ- mas advice, but it is not too late to fall from grace and we feel the lure of the mnoble old theme growing stronger every day. We hope not, but it is not improbable that we may open up in a couple of weeks and emit some very fine thoughts on this subject—just as good now as when they were said ten years ago, and in all the years Intervening be- tween now and then. 0 With the echoes of the Thanksgiv- ing turkey still lingering in our ears, as a friend of ours who meant well but was careless in his speech used to say, we canp now resume our §o-| lution of the Mexican problem and those thousand and one other puz- zles which the world is impatiently walting for us to get the kinks out of. It is a great game and we en- Joy it, but there is a singular want of unanimity in adopting our conclu- sfons, and people will persist in thinking for themselves. — 0 Mrs. Pankhurst has returned to England after a clean-up of $20 000 lecturing in this country. Tf the old lady is truly wise she will salt that tidy sum down for her personal usé and not squander it In quixotic schemes to addvance the canse of suf- frage for her sex by breaking win- d@ows burning houses and then starv- ing in jail. And we'll wager that Emmeline does that very thing, for there is probably plenty of method in her militancy . bl ot The prospect good for a mighty stiff newspaper fight in Jack- gonville next month when the new afternoon paper, the X<-\\'s‘ invades the field now occupied by the Metrop- olis with the clear purpose of driv- ing that long established Waily out of business. The Metropolis is a good paper with a strong hold on its position and if it makes a fight for its life we are likely to see some spec- tacular journalism. Jacksonville will hardly support two afternoon dailies, and the struggle between the Metropolis and the News will doubt- less be along “no quarter” lines and seems PRIMARIES WILL NOT BE 50 EXPENSIVE The expenses of a primary cam- paign in this State have heretofore, for some of the larger offices, mount- ed to sums equal to small fortunes and good and capable men were thus prevented from becoming candidates. Under the new Bryan primary law expenses will not be so heavy as the maximum amounts are fixed as fol- lows: United States senator and gover- nor, $4,000. Administrative State offices (cabi- net members) $2,500. Members of Congress, $2,000. Railroad «cmmissioners, ceneral, State anditor, assistant au- ditor ar#l justices of the State su- rreme court, $2.000, State's attorneys and circuit judge, $600, State scuators and representatives {in the lower house of the Legisla- | ture, District delez I ventions, $200. 2200, ates to national con- Delegates at large to national con- iventions anid presidential electors, $500, For county offices in counties of more than forty thousand population 18750, | State and Congressional committee- men, $100. 0 The resolution of Congressman Clark introduceid in the House the other day extending an invitation to Charles DeLesseps of France, to be Present at the celevration of the op- ening of the Panama canal was doubtless prompted by courtesy, but DeLesseps himself might easily look at it in another way. His father, Ferdinand DeLesseps, was the first to attempt to dig the canal and he made a stupendous, utter and ignominious failure of the undertaking. He died of grief because of that failure, and the worst feature of it was that thou- sands of his countrymen who had been induced by his representations to put their money in the venture lost all they had by doing so and a vast amount of poverty and suffering lmostl‘\' among the middle and lower | classes, resnlted. Charles DeLesseps [ conld hardly fail to feel chagrin and humiliation in large measure at wit- nessing the splendid triumph of American genius built on the ruin wrought by his father. Mr. Clark might with perfect propriety with- draw his resolution . RSO LN The death of three prominent rail- way presidents of the South in the past few weeks, all in the prime of life, measured by years, shows how the tense conditions of modern busi- ness life are killing off those upon whom the strain falls most heavily. 1t took centuries of gestation in the womb of the human race before it was ready to breed such men as Fin- ley, Emerson and Parrott and at the summit of their usefulness they are stricken down under the intolerable burtlen of a civilization speeded up almost beyond endurance. And in every business, as well as railroad- ing, caught in this pitiless mael- ystrom, the toll of death is equally heavy anil increasing every year, The planets rush through space with inconceivable rapidity and man seems striving for the same gait, but it is much safer and more comfort able to take life easicr., 0 i The sheriff who deliberately neg- lects to do his plain duty in enfore- ing or attempting to enforce the law is something in the nature of a coun- ty calamity because he is a distinct encouragement to the lawless class and practically incites them to crime. Certainly there can be only warm approval among good people of the act of Governor Trammell in sus- pending from office the West Florida sheriff who made no effort to break up the “blind tigers” in his county and after being duly warned was still remiss in the discharge of his duty and didn’t seem to care anything nature’s cruel law of the survival of [about the matter one way or the oth- the fittest.
