would last 80 long that she would turn black in the
face and often raise as much a pint Of blood

quite stout, but from the loss Of blood by hemor-
rhages, and loss Of sleep, she was at last reduced

An Ignorant Objection 10 tI.e Flats Era-
proseBsenf Plan.

III ft be true as reported that one of the Objec-
tions urged in conference t. the Potomac flats ap-
preparation that the plan consisted OF no plan
at ALL Major Twinlng not having finished 1t at the
time OF his death. IL shows that this objection
at least is based upon ignorance The plan
fully completed, and upon being submitted and
explained to the expert witnesses before the select
committee, IL was approved b. every one OF them.
With one or two exceptions the experts also gave
the plan hearty approval as IL existed. Two. or
perhaps three, OF the witnesses suggested some
additions which they thought would improve the
pan. All OF them UnhesitatingIy expressed tie
opinion that the improvement proposed would
greatly bene4lt the health Of the city, AM ma or-
ity of the experts declared that it would remove
tie Chief cause OF malarial troubles here.
With regard to another objection to the
improvement limited at, viz: that it 'would
enhance the value Of the property along the
river front, that is conceded; but according
TO the best legal opinion of the committee
and the Senate the improved property, con-
sistIng of the reclaimed land will belong To the
government. Senator Vest, who voted against the
amendment, declared that he had, after exalni-
nation no doubt of the governments title TO this
land. The question raised as to possible damage
from narrowing the river channel originated With
few harpieS and schefner5 who are constantly
seeking to make such public works as are neces-
sary here subjects OF profit to themselves. They
eadeavor to trade upon tie best interests OF tie
national capital, and when they cannot control
measures of public benefit they denoUnce them.
In answer to this objection it is only necessary to
point to the fact that some of the best engineers
OF the army approved the plan and took an active
Interest In explaining and commencing 1t to the
committee AS Senator Ransom declared In his
speech in support of the amendment, no work
contemplated in the river and harbor bill has been

med and prepared for as this improvements

are used in Japan were practiced
here, I have no doubt but the effect
would be soon seen aud if the diet

that the new settlers in Florida are
not among those w6oafe deficient in

places, and for this reason Florida
cannot be kept in the background

Does Orange Culture Pay!
From the Union.

A subscriber at Woodstock, Onta
rio, Canada, has forwarded us two
letters on Florida, clipped from the
Buffalo Daily Courier, which contain
statements calculated TO chill the arr
dor OF any who have been looking
to Florida as home, or to orange
culture as paying business. As is
usual, the writer gives his conclusions
with the greatest confidence. although
his opportunities for observation and
inquiry in the State were confined
to a run over the Waycross and
Transit roads from the Georgia line
to Callahan, thence to Gainesville
and Ocala, covering period of less
than two weeks. OF course the op.
inion of one with such meagre ops
portunities for collecting correct in
formation are worthless when CPS
posed Us the observation and exper-
ience of hundreds, and the hard
facts developed by reliable statistics.
And yet this writer is but far speci-
men ofa very large class who, though
knowing little, write about Florida as
though they were as familiar with
it's climate soil and resources as
the Oldest and best posted inhabltant.
Our space will not admit OF res
view OF all the erroneous statements
contained in these letters. We will
therefore confne ourselves to two
points upon which false impressions
are conveyed, to-wit: that orange
culture seldom pays, and that there
are no farms worth the name in the
State.
On both these points it should be
remembered that it is only within
the last few years that orange cul.
ture or diversified agriculture have
been entered upon as means of pro.
fit and subsistence. Under the old
labor system of the South, two or
three great staples only constituted
the basis of wealth. Since the war,
however, orange culture has been
entered upon as a profitable business,
and diversified agricultural produce
ton has deem found remunerative
Just in proportion as industry guided
by intelligence has been applied.
True, our State is but comparative
wilderness, ,foraquarter of million in
habitants spread over fifty-nine thou
sand square miles of territory cannot

the eye of the passenger on railroad

where the lands have been denselypop.
lated and under cultivation tor a cen.
tury, but it has been demonstrated
that in no State or territory has in.
telligent industry been more success.
full than in Florida.
True, as the writer says, huns
dred acres sowed to orange seed is
not a fortune, for here, as elsewhere,
labor and care must be applied, and
when this is done the hundred acres
with ten thousand bearing orange
trees at ten years old IS a fortune,
and one which will yield an increas-
ing revenue as the years accumulate
more certain and more enduring
than any branch of productive in.
dustry of the same extent in any
State of the Union.
We have presented in our columns
numberless cases where with no cap
ital but well applied labor individu-
ais have within ten years time be-
come independent, and we could re-
