The County Seat.

Editor Of The Florida AgrtcuItaTist;
The County Commissioners of Vo-
lusia county, at the request of the
necessary number of voters, have
ordered an election for the purpose
of locating the county seat, said
election TO take place on the first
Saturday in June next. Enterprise
was never chosen as the county seat.
1t was only located there as a con-
venience when Brevard county was
attached to Volusia as then being
nearer the centre, but since a division
has been made Enterprise is now in
one corner of Volusia county. By
rights the county seat belongs to
Spring Hill, as that location was
chosen BY the citizens some years
back, and in justice should now be
located there. AS some jealousy ex,
lists as to where the next capital shall
be located, why not compromise on.
Spring Hill aud endorse the former
election. Spring Garden is ambitious
OF getting it, as being nearer the
centre than any place in the county,
and we are informed that one land
owner there has offered $4,000
towards the erection Of the court
house, but Spring Garden has no ac>
commodations whatever for the rex
ception OF jurors, lawyers and others
who will have TO attend the courts;
beside, five thousand dollar court
house would be too insignificant
tor an important and rising COM
munlty like this, free of debt and
an increasing revenue. We should
examine all the eligible locations
and fix on that which offers the great
est inducement, and then erect build
ings that will be an ornament and
an hopes To Us and the county we
represent There is no more bqauti-.
tul location Than Spring Hill. 1t is
near water communication and the
important towns of DeLand and
Orange CITY, where every accommo~
dation can be had by those who have
to attend the courts. Let no local
jealousies prevent our acting in a
spirit of fairness and as sensible cit>

Protection.

We do NOT believe for one instant
that Florida oranges cannot stand
competition against any grown else
where. We would he sorry were
that the case. Oranges from other
countries are valued al vazorena, so
that the 20 per cent. protection we
receive is mere bosh. Twenty-Five
per cent. OF what are shipped perish
on the way, and those saved are so
inferior to our fruit that no COMPARE
son can be made. The best article
will always command the highest
market, whatever the price may be.
The British government tried every
means to stimulate the production of
cotton during the cizll war in this
country, in other parts of the world,
yet they are dependent on this for
their supply. Europe wants more
from US than we do from her. She
can only beat us in few things, and
the more they send US the more they
will want from US. We scout the
idea that we cannot compete with
any country in the world, tor we are
drawing the brains OF other nations
to this United States. Protection.
breeds monopoly and monopoly pre-
vents the prosecution ofindustries by
others who cannot withstand the
pressure of the rich. Take the case
of matches, which is one confined
to a few rich firms; yet throw off
the duty and many poor men can
follow the business with profit. Pro
lection is giving to the rich power
over the poor and preventing them
from getting an opportunity to adj
vance themselves.

Kingston, Jamaica:
The Atlas line steamer Alvo, which

Small communities do not need
engines. They would seldom be
found in order when their services
were needed. A hook and ladder
company, with plenty of fire buckets,
has heretofore been found of more
real service than badly managed

Citizens rhould build more cisterns,
spout their houses, and thus secure
better drinking water, and be pro-
vided, to great extent against fire.
Precautionary measures are at all
times worthy OF emulation.

make ready the land late in July or
early in August, and set the plants
as soon as possible after getting the
land ready. The runners are easily
prepared by sinking three inch pots

small stone upon each to hold it
down, and water every day it the

cutting the runners aud placing the
pots in bucket with an inch of wa>

of the finances-never before were

made his Washington home for so
many years Although somewhat cen.
trail and convenient, the house does
not stand in the fashionable quarter
Of the city, as those boundaries have
lately been drawn, and there is moth
ing imposing or ostentatious about the
establishment. Since their recent Wis
it to New Mexico, Senator and Mrs.
Logan have accumulated quantities OF
Navajo and Huni blankets and pottery,
and many Indian curiosities with
which their rooms are decorated. Por
tierers Of Navajo blankets are hung
at the doorway, and bright oolored
Zuni blankets are thrown over the
choirs and sofas, and other specimens
Of aboriginal art lend to the odd COL
