Candidates for justice of the peace in one
i of the districts in Clarke county arc rcort
j lng to new methods of securing votes. They
i have actually taken the stump, and are
i speaking to their constituents with as much
vim and earuestne s us It tho election was
as importaut as the senator or representa
tive. When asked to define their positions
on the tariff, tho Estate road and ether ques
tions of great Importance, they gave their
opinions at great length. It is said that
one of them went so far as to promise
electric lights.to the city if he should be
elected. Much more excitement is prevalent
over this election ttjan that of representa

reference to this it can only be said that the
democratic nominees will certainly win,

Bainbridge Democrat: The legislature—
known in history as the "Bullock Legisla
ture”—to which your uncle John Dee Will
iams belonged, staved in session 328 days.
The members of that sweet-scented con
clave got $D a day; they took several re.
cesses, and drew their $9 and mileage
all the same. That 328 days of misrepre
sentation cost the tax ("avers of the
state the snug little sum of $978,055, nearly
a million of dollars. 'Wiis 328 days
cost more than the twelve years of legisla
tion previous to it: and it c st more than
every legislature since the constitution of
1577 went, iuto effect to the present time.
Johu Dee voted every time against reduc

state road went the same way.
Senator Joseph E. Brown has written the
following letter to J. J. Holloway, of Car
roll county: “1 have this day received yoar
let'e , accompanied by the resolutions
fiassed by Clem Farmers’Alliance, denouno
ng the bagging trust and asking legislation
for its prevention, etc. Verv soon after I
received the letter I carried it to the Henate
and introduced it as a memorial of your al
liance, aud hud it referred to the finance
committee. There are prohablv half a
dozen bills now pending in the two houses
to suppress trusts. There are important
differences of opinion existing among the
Senators and Representatives as to the ex
tent of the powers of congress over
the l question where the exercise of
power would conihet with stale jurisdic
tion. The question is being carefully ex
amined, bnt we are getting so far along in
the prevent session that I fear it is very
doubtful whether D ere will be any and ance
to get effective legislation during this ses
sion. Indeed, the disposition of senators
and representatives now seem to ruu more
in the direction of making political speeches
to affect the pending campaign than in the
direction of legislation of the character
mentioned. I shall very cordially give my
supiiort to any measure* for the suppression
of trusts of this character, which can be
constitutionally passed, and promise to be
at all effective. I trust by another year
the farmers may be able to fortify them
selves thoroughly against exaction's of this
character.”

Key West Equator-Democrat: Sinoe July
I. past, nearly two and a half months, the
United States "revenue cutter Crawford, as
signed to this revenue district, has not
shown either bow or stern to this port. We
are reliably informed that during all this
time the cutter has been lying tied up at
Cedar Keys, ostensibly to procure coal,
wood and water, but really to allow the
officers of the vessel, wliose families reside
in that port, an opportunity to remain with
them, and to scare off, by their presence,
auy infected vessel that might otherwise
land at that port. This is not the first time
tho cutter has been unreasonably detained
at Cedar Keys, under first one pretext and
thou another, until she ha* become a
“laughing stock” for Kev Westers. Since
May 19, 1887, the cutter Crawford has been
in Key West, Tortugas and cruising around
tho Florida reefs only eighty days all told,
and except about four mouths at New Or
leans and Mobile, she has spent the balance
of the intervening time at Cedar Keys.

Orlando Record: At the meeting of the
board of health Thursday afternoon, there
appeared six who claimed to be members,
the apparent conflict being between Dr.
Wylly and Mr. Rerdeil. It seean that Dr.
Wylly has three times tendered ins resigna
tion to tho governor as a member ofthe
board; has also notified tho secretary, as
well as other members, that be was no
longer a member, and persistently refused to
act. Ho has also officially recogniz 'd the
presont board as a board, with Mr. Roi dell
as a member, accompanying the board otj
a tour of inspection to Port Tamps, he
acting for the South Florida railroad.
Tho secretary, with conaurrence of other
members of tho board, sent on to
the governor a recommendation for tho
appointment of Mr. Rerdeil to fill the va
cancy crea'ted by the resignation of Dr.
Witflly, and he promptly made the appoint
ment, notifying Mr. Rerdeil, inciosbig a
letter of acceptance for him to sign, to
gether with the oath of office, to be exe
cuted and returned. This was done, and on
Sept. 12 tbe commission was made out aud
forwarded and received on the exeuiug of
Sept. 13. Since that time Mr. Itordell has
acted with the board. Now comes tho gist
of the whole business. Mr. Rerdeil has,
ever since he has been on tbe board, been in
favor of a strict quarantine, and on Sept.
19 introduced, anil the board paseed, the
rigid regulations which caused so much dis
satisfaction among a few men
at Sanford, and the South
Florida and Jacksonville, Tainpa
and Key West railroads, the outcome of
which was the telegraphing to the governor
as before mentioned, and Dr. Wylly at
tempting to again act as a member of the
lioaixl. Mr. Rordell is in receipt of the fol
lowing letter from Gov. Perry, which ex
plains itself: State of Florida, Executive
(mice, Tallahassee, Sept. 24, 1888. M. C.
Rerdeil, Esq., Orlando, Fia.: Dear Sir—lt
seems that at the tune you were recom
mended (Sept. 1) to fill an alleged vacancy
ou tbe board of health—recommendation
from Dr. J. W. Hicks, secretary—there really
did not exist a vacancy U> w hlch an appoint
ment could be made, consequently the com
mission issued to you must be, and thesamo
Is hereby vacated. 1 enclose a warrant for
$2, the tax paid by you o ( u tho comwisjiion
hereby vacated. Very truly yours, E. A.
Perry. Mr. Rerdeil states that he is only
too glad to get off of tho board aud shall at
once comply, but denies the right or power
of the governor to decide this matter, ami
claims that the issuing of a commission oil
receipt of the resignation of an official Is
the acceptance of such resignation.

AUSTRALIA'S RABBIT PEST.
A Reward of SIOO,OOO Offered for
Ihe r Extermination.
New York Sept. 29.—“A pair of rab
bits will produce 2,000,000 rabbits in two
years in Australia,” is a statement that at
first seems incredulous, and when James
Watson of Victoria, made It the other day
to a party of geutlem -n, they thought he
was jesting. Yet it is as true as gospel.
Mr. Wan is one of the largest ranch
owners ia Victoria, Australia, having under
fence alone 3),000 ae. es. The problem of
how to exterminate rabbits is tue greatest
question that confronts the people of Aus
tralia to-day, as ttoeir entire prosperity de
pends upon it. It is in hope that Yankee
ingenuity might, be able to solve this im
portant problem t.':at Mr. Watson now
v-isits America.
“You can what a terrible plague
the raubits are,” said Mr. Watson, “when
the Australian government is now building
a fence of wire netting which, when com
pleted, will be 8,000 miles long and which
will divide New South Wales and Queens
land. The rabbits hive not vet made their
appearance iu Queensland and the fence is
to prevent tuem from getting over there.
“We have tried hundreds of wavs to get
rid of tho rabbits, but so far nothing has
been successful. We are only able to check
the increase. About the best means of do
ing this is to scatter fruit with arsenic oyer
the ground, but thiß is a vet y expensive
method. In this way I have killed 900 rab
bits with ten bushels of sliced apples. Then
we used phosphate of oats, but the trouble
with this is that the phospi ate soon loses
it* effect. 1 think the best method in use is
the ordinary rat trap, but all these methods
are very expensive. For instance, it costs
the government of Victoria $125,000 a year
to keep the rabbits down on the crown
(government) lunds. Tu government pay s
10 cents a pair for all the rabbits killed on
their lands. A good man can make S4O per
week killing rabbits. These men use traps
and one man can work 100 traps.
“A law has recently been passed that
compels tho owner of lands to keep therab
bitedown. If he should fail to do this he
is fined SSO for his. first offense, SIOO for the
second, and upon the third offense the gov
erment employs men to attend to the rab-.
bits at the expense of the land owner. In
many instances owners are compelled to
give up their land us the expeuse is so great.
The owner of 10,000 acre* is obliged to em
ploy 100 men for killing rabbits alone. To
give you a still better idea of the damage
tuese pests are doing let me tell you that
land that a few years ago was worth SSO par
acre is now only worth $4.
“I have found a way by which I can keep
the rabbits down and make money by it,
but of courss every ranch man cannot do
this. I have started a rabbit canning fac
tory. We can the rabbits muon the same
way that lieof is canned here, and our
principal market is in England. At present
I am canning 500.000 rabhits a year, all of
whioh are killed off my ranch, aud still
this number does not keep the pest down as
the government requires. I put a rabbit
and a half in a can, and at present I make
37 cents profit on a dozen cans. They are
retailed in England at 12 cents a pound, and
considering the high prioe of beef, it w ould
be suppose,: rabbit* would become a favor
ite dish with the poor of England, yet the
rabbits are now only purchased by the
higher class who consider the rabbit a great
dainty.
“How long have we bten bothered with
the rabbit? About ten vears. Rabbits
were brougnt to Australia about twenty
years ago fro u England for sporting pur
poses.”
“Tell m' how fast the rabbit* breed?”
“A pair of rabbits wiil usually produce
four does and two bucks. The does breed
when two month* old and they have ou an
average four litters a year. You can cal
culate from this aud you will find that the
atatement that a pair of rabbits will pro
duce 2.000,0CX) in two years is not so pre
posterous a3 it at first appears.
“I brought a man over from South
America just before I left and he firmly
believes that, the South American skunk
would get rid of tee raobits. Any way, the
AuHtralialmu government offers a reward
of $100,0)0 for the best plan for their exter
minatio Harry Walker.
