A CLERK in the New York Comptroller's

Oranges and Cotton.

Governor BlO1ham' : statement ~ l1-'i
ence 10 the comparative values d oranges
and cotton Is a. remarkable as true. he
saws an acre Of oranges in full bearing
should produce sufficient fruit % load
three cars Of 5000 pounds capacity. and
then adds. "A car can convey - bales
u cotton. the product 81 80 acres. mus
Al acre Of oranges viii furnish three
times as much freight as 10 acres 81 cot
TOM the conclusion being that lz1ovy
acres in oranges viii require more cars
u move the fruit than 6.Ooo,000 bales 81
cotton representing Is.O00,Os0 acres. Tbs
Is An interesting statement for FlOridlans-
Of course. Governor Bloxham did not
mean u say that highly fertilized land ID
Florida would not yield in cotton
more than a third u a bale 81 cotton -
the acre. or that the average yield Of cot
ton in states other than Florida j. only q
third Of a bale 70 the acre. There -
plenty Of land that yields bale % the
acre. and some a. much as two bales
The Weld in Florida, however, > perhaps
NOT more than a third Of a bale on infer
tilted land. 4 great deal Of the Florida
cotton. however. particularly that raised
in Middle Florida, is Of a very superior
quality and brings a much larger price
than ordinary cotton. What Governor
BlOxham meant 10 say. Of course, was
that IN Florida one acre Of thrifty orange
trees furnished a. much freight a. 10
acres Of ordinary land planted in cotton.

THE ancient pest Office clerk, Lawren-

The remarkable suicide Of Prof. Won
Putlitz- OF the University OF Berlin, mas
been generally accounted for on the theory
that he had taken part in what the Ger
mans call an American duel, ana had
draE the lot that required MN 70 take
his Owa life; but now comes a story, pup
real motive for the suicide was the fear Of
exposure Of a peculiar fraud that Won
Putlitz had been guilty Of in building up
the reputation for learning and AFFINITY
which bad Won his prOfessorshlp for MN,
and which gave him his standing IN the
world Of letters and science. At the
same university there was formerly a
blind professor Of great talent and
scholarship, known TO all German scholars
as DR.. Duhring. and this man IS said to
have written a work for Won Putlitz,
which the latter palmed OF upon the
world as MS owns but he promised TO pay

il, and on his failing TO keep his agree
ment. Duhring threatened to send the orr
ginal manuscript Of the work to the
faculty Of the University Of Halle, where
Won Putlitz had been called to ill one OF

such manner that if il were a mere in

Republican unity and zeal may be greatly

II is probable that the next Congress

settle that. as vet. has no existence.
Congressman Pool, Of North Carolina
died couple Of weeks ago. He was
Republican, and was elected by a maJorl-
ty Of about six hundred. Since the cleo
ton. however, the state mas been re-
distrlcted, and the Pool district is now
certainly Democratic. The Republicans
propose 10 run a candidate i'm the old
district, while the Democrats propose to
elect a Congressman in the new district.
The case, if it comes before Congress,
will present some new and interesting
complications.
