We give prominence to an EDITOR

We give prominence to an editorial
article from the New Orleans Times
Democrat. It's peculiar fitness to a phase
of the political situation in this State is
strikingly obvious, for Florida as we'll as

clans of the perurous sort. We commend
it to the perusal Of the slanderers Of Gov

hood and conscience are dead in the crea-
ture who can be the deliberate assassin of
a mans reputation.
In all communities there are bad
men. Some of them can do little more
than injnre themselves. Others possess
such ability or such position that they are
enabled to injure others-sometimes the
whole community, in its material inter-
eats. If one of these men happens to
have control of little newspaper the COM
munity is peculiarly unfortunate in such
respect, as his capacity for evil is greatly
increased, for he can do more harm, COM
init more sin, outside of statute, than
some other fellows do who also fail to get
into the penitentiary.

Disastrous Fire In Savannah.

Last Wednesday fire occurred in Sa-
vannah which destroyed three hundred
and twelve buildings and rendered twelve
hundred and seventy-eight. persons home
less. The loss approximates a million
dollars and the insurance amounts to not
more than one-third of million. The
part of the city destroyed is known as
Yamacraw, being the site of the Indian
village which existed when Oglethorpc's
colony landed, and is bounded on the
south by Joachim street, on the east by
West Broad street and on the west b>
the canal. The remains of eight persons
were found in the ruins, some of whom
had not been identified at last accounts
The fire originated about noon in some
loose cotton in the warehouse at the head
of Joachim street, and continued to rage
until night, the high and changing winds
preventing it's being controlled. Nearly
four thousand bales of cotton were burned,

dry, Stubs warehouse and a number of
Of other valuable buildings, though the
majority were small buildings occupied
by the poorer class, whose loss of per-

destitute were fed by the city and by the

The LeCOmie Penr Supposed to he
lBlightlng.

At u late meeting o! the State Horticultural
Society at Barnesyille Mr.. J. c. Hartman, OF Ten
mile, exhibited several limbs from LeConIc trees
that were diseased as he supposed with blight
The pear never having been known to blight, or
be affected with other disease, the appearance Of
these limbs created considerable interest among
lrui,-growcrs generally, and they were accord
ingly sen, to Prot J. E. Willet, than whom there
is no ADLER or more learned scientist and natural
ist in The State. After examining the specimens
he writes as follows 10 Mr.. Sanford Of this city:
Macon GA, Oct. II. 1888
Dear Sir The blight "t the LeConte pear, re-
ported by Mr. j. c. Hartman, of Tennille at
Barnesville. turns out to be Il newly imported
Deelle. and will. 1t is feared, be a troublesome
est. Ii any of your LeConte pear trees have
failed or are dying, please look for small holes
below or beside The buds or spurs. You my
6nd them, and small black beetles 10 them. In
fresh holes you may find young Larvae. They
mine under the bark next To the sapwood. Will
you please examine and let me know by postal.
They are in Mr.. Harman's apple trees also.
Peach trees are attacked North.
Very truly, j. E. WILLET
Thus 1t appears that the LeConte still remains
proof against blight Whether this beetle will
become general and alike destructive TO the Lee
Conte as 10 other fruit trees remains yet to be
aeen. Meantime, none should be deferred from
growing the LeConte, for even should this new
enemy become formidable this pear will still stand
at the head of the list pears, inasmuch as i, re-
mains free from blight, the great and almost uni
versal enemy Of other varieties. Az yet this
beetle has made Its appearance In but few Sec
tons of the country, and it Is TO be hoped that
it will not become general. Fruit growers should
keep close watch ON their orchards and wage
war against this new enemy whansvsr found.

Dom't, Please.

The "young democracy :" can anybody
explain what this meant? II was about
time for the phrase to turn up again, and
1t hss turned up, on time-in the Second
District. There is neither youth nor age
in true democracy, for its principles
being right it is eternal as right When
we hear "young democracy" we gen.
orally hear claptrap; we generally hear
the echoed voice of selfish aspirations,
the ominous note of dissension in the
camp, of insubordination in the ranks, OF
factious Decentralization and the weaken
ing of the peoples cause. Old men for
counsel and young men for war, or some.
thing very like that, was we'll enough
said, but it has no particular bearing in
the civic warfare of the ballot, where the
weakest old man has strength enough to
cast vote that will kill that Of a mus
cular youth as easily as his cool old brains
will discount the IN. US hot headed i'm.
pulses in caucus. What is the latest ar.
ticle of "young democracy anyhow
l. it any improvement on some previous
articles of "young democracy" that we
have noted which did not pan out fol
the benefit of the party and people p
which had small consideration for old T
Jefferson's old fogy democracy and sup.
ported politicians, not principles; and
which in a somewhat recent instance did
drift into independent beresy?
The young men of the South are almost
unanimously democrats, and their strength
is in the party-then why create disorder
within it by making the distinction
"yonng democracy Why it is done
may find explanation in the aspirations
for office of individuals who, with Their
friends, work up the movement. Those
opposed to the interested individuals who
succeed to candidacy by the effort Of
factions are dissatisfied with the result
and detest the method, and after fight
within itself the party cannot fight the

polls in solid column. To specify and de
fine the young democracy understands
party within the party, and one must beat
the other. and the democratic party will
necessarily be weakened by the discord
of intestine strife, for the defeated con
stituency will be halfhearted in the bat
tie against the common enemy, as it does
not 20 into it under the leadership 70,
which it had avowed itself and for which
it had worked in an unfortunate contes,
of garrulous advocacy, engendering the
bitter elements of dissatisfaction, discord
and disunion. "Young democracy, please
don't be previous. Wait for the con
certed action of The Democracy-neithel
old nor young-the rational democracy
of principle, whose organization should
be maintained mistaken in its duty Of
membership in the National Democracy
which is waging war against the radica
corruption of federal power that threat
