The planters of Middle Florida are pursuing
wise and judiciOus course in keeping up their
annual fair. The time will come when they will
reap the advantage of this annual exhibition Of
their products 1t is, moreover, of great advan-
tage in keeping up the esprit de corps OF the plan
tiers. The emulation is healthy one, and the
comparison Of productions tend to Improvements
in modes of culture and the introduction OF new
seeds and new varieties. We were, however
surprised, at the last annual exhibition al ITALIA
hassee, to see such an inconsiderable exhibit of
field crops. Cotton of all varieties ought to be
placed there in quantities; sugar cane, sorghum,
potatoes, field peas, corn, oats, rye, wheat and
rice, should have well-flled department; stock
of all kinds of native growth and adaptability TO
our climate; garden products Of every variety
should be shown-Of averave products, not mon
strosities; the domestic industries ought to be
well represented, and home made cloth, yarn,
knit goods, soaps, useful preparations of food /;
all varieties of fruit which that part Of Florida
produces should be well exhibited. So much
for what should be shown. Last year we OBJ
served on the grounds gambling devices of sew
eral kinds, and loud mouth exhibitors carried on
their vocation under the sanction of the mana
gers. This should never be allowed again.
The FLoRIDIAN has issued an extra sheet con-
tanning list of the premiums and much valuable
information in regard to Middle Florida. We
have not been favored with copy of the PAM
phlet issued by the Jacksonville, Pensacola and
Mobile Railroad Company, or we would cheer
fully make use of its contents 10 advance a
knowledge of that fertile and most valuable pOr-
tion of our State.
The pamphlet issued by the Jackson
vile, Pensacola and Mobile Receivers is
published in full on the fourth page of
the Bulletin, the second edition of which
is issued to-day.

The New York Bulletin says the deca.
dence of our commercial marine is not
gradual dry rot; in point Of fact, it is
rapidly progressive. In this respect there
is no installing the statistics of the regis
ter of the treasury. just submitted in his
annual report covering the operations of
the past fiscal year. According to these,
the total tonnage of the country exhibits
decrease of lo1.s66 tons. Steam ton
mage has increased IS, $3.50 tons and canal
boat ton mage 1852 tons; while sailing
tonnage has decreased 56,555 tons and
the barge tonnage $3.50 tons.
During the year the amount of ship.
building has been less by $500 tons than
that of 1879. The increase in steam ton.
mage is chiefly visible in additions to our
coastlng vessels. In the foreign trade we
are doing nothing worth speaking Of 1t
does not appear that any orders have been
executed for the European carrying trade.
At this rate it is clear American ship
building ere long will become one Of the
lost arts. Congress, at its approaching
session, can, if it will, do something to
assist this long depressed interest by re-
moving the shackles which obsolete navi-
CATION laws have imposed upon it for the
special benefit of our European COMPETE
tors in the carrying trade.

Editor FloSIdSan The writer had the pleas
ure of hearing the State Superintendent of Pub.
lie Instruction In bis address upon our public
school system, on Tuesday Of last week at Micco.
sukie, and with your permission will briefly refer
10 some of the points made.
After reviewing the condition aud progress of
the public schools and the difficulties of success
fully operating the system, the speaker dwet at
some length upon certain changes In the law
that, in his opinion, would be OF advantage to
this department of our government
Mr.. Haisley strongly advocates the plan of
limiting instruction in schools operated at the
public expense to the common school branches.
This should be done, he thinks, m order 70 Sc
cure greater thoroughness in the elementary
branches, and to reduce the cost of keeping up
the system, which is necessarily largo, owing to
the sparsely settled condition Of the State. He
would however have charters gtanted to the
towns and cities under which special tax could
be levied for the support of the higher schools.
He next referred to the propriety of levying
poll tax for the maintenance If schools, and of
making its payment prerequisite.to the right Of
franchise. This, he thought, not only due to the
property holding taxpayer. but demanded BY
the great need of an increased revenue to develop
our educational system.
The third change was the application Of the
interest on the Agricultural College and Sem.
mary funds 10 the establishment OF State Nor
NAL College, with sufficient number of endowed
scholarships to allow each county. Representa-
ton. This, be urged, would result in giving to
our State crediable institution of learning, and
at the same time, supply the long felt want Of
trained teachers for the common schools
These points have been presented by Mr..
Haisley in his addresses throughout the State,
and as we understand, have met with almost
universal endorsement in every section.
Whether or not the changes suggested should
be made, is a question worthy of consideration.
The common school system is now admitted TO
be permanent adjunct of our government, and
anything affecting its operation, demands atten-
ton 1t is hoped that our Legislators 20 convene
here in a few weeks will give to this subject the
earnest thought and consideration it deserves.

From the Cincinnati EnQuirerJ
What of the Democratic party !? A few
years ago it had the electoral votes of
only three States in the Union. Twelve
years ago it received the electoral votes
of but seven States. Eight years ago the
Democratic party carried the electoral
vote of only six States. After that dis
astrous election an unsuccessful attempt
was made to disband the Democratic
party. This endeavor was vigorously
made in Ohio in 1873, and received ten
thousand votes in this great Republican
State; and William Allen was elected
Governor of Ohio in that year. II, after
such depressing national elections. in 1854.
in 1868 and in 1872, in which the Demo.
cratic party carried respectively but three
States, seven States and six States, the
Democracy refused TO abandon the party
name and the party organization, and to
forget the party glories, the party name
and organization are not likely to be
abandoned now, or the party glories to
be forgotten. -Four years ago the Dem.
ocratic party carried nineteen States and
Q majority of the electoral vote and
Of the popular vote. In the
election just ended the Democratic party
has carried one-half Of the States and one
half Of the popular vote. Nothing bat
