During the year ending December 81,
1884, there were manufactured in Flor
ida GO, 580,592 cigars. From Jan. to
Oct. 1 of the present year there have
been sold and removed from this state
by manufacturers $500, 900 cigars, on
which the tax paid was $175.500. This
does not by any means include the num-
Der manufactured the present year in
Florida; it covers only those actually
sold. The manufacturers have on hand
constantly from 5000, 900 to 10000, 600
cigars, which, added to those sold even
up to Oct. 1, will show great increase
over the number manufactured last year
with two months yet to hear from.
There were 1888 special tax payers on
the lists of the collector of internal reve-
nue. on April 80, 1885.

Industrial advancement of the last few

AmeriedN Agricultural.
The ancient duchy Of Holstein, which
was wrested from Denmark by Germany
a few years ago, possesses extensive low.
lands reclaimed from the sea. These were
not ancient lake-beds, ike much OF the
present area OF Holland, but salt water
marches; hence are known to-day as the
Holstein Marshes. The population ia al!
most exclusively agricultural, and pos
sesses q valuable breed OF neat cattle,
which is bred both for beef and for milk.
As mich COWS, they have achieved no
special fame, but the beef Is excellent.
The strains OF mich and beef cat
tie are kept quite distinct, as among
shorthorns. They are fairly we'll
formed, judging them by our notions,
and are the basis Of very profitable trade.
In color they are black and white, or dark
brown, or red and white, and show clearly
that they have been modified by the
shorthorn cross, otherwise are much like
the Friesian aud North Holland cattle,
which pass by the trade name Of "Hols-
teins" in this country. A notable differ
euce between the Holstein beef and that
OF Normandy, which also finds Its way to
the great markets OF metropolis, is, that its
fat is white, while that Of the French beef
Is often golden yellow, like that OF the
Guernseys, and many OF the jersey cattle:
The London market demands fat beef, and
requires 1t to be white as Alabaster," to
meet the highest favor.

GOVBFhDF WILSON anu ING A'"S . 49,
The ISrE1LleRNcER printed, with due
credit to the Cincinnati Enquirer, a pcrso-
nal paragraph stating that Governor VIII
son in company with other Charleston
gentlemen, took in the sullivan-McCatlfey
hard glove fight.
The esteemed Register, in behalf OF the
Governor, leaps into the ring with an in
dicnant denial. The Governor was not at
the fight, and the 1NrELLIeBNcER ought
not to have printed the Enquirer's state
mept without verifying it. There was no
reason to suspect that the Democratic
Enquirer was yillifying the Democratic
Governor, and just ut that moment it was
slightly inconyenient to send man to
Cincinnati to investigate SO small matter.
It's explained that the Governor was
in Cincinnati at the request OF the Board
Of Public Works to buy hearths, crates
and mantels for the new Capitol at Char
lesion. We are sorry to hear this. There
is no scarcity Of these articles in West
Virginia. Ifthey can't be had in Char
lesion, Wheeling can furnish them Of all
grades at reasonable prices. Money is not
80 plentiful in West viFgiuiathat II makes
no difference whether the State makes its
purchases here orelsewhere.
There was a good deal OF criticism
when the Governor went to Cincinnati
to buy the furniture for his new residence.
That was his private affair, though there
are persons, not champions Of the work
ipgmen, who can find furniture good
enough for them at home.
Purchases on State account come under
a different head. Public money ought as
far as possible to bo made to serve the
public good. Ii good CRATES and msntels
could be had at fair prices in West Vir-
giuia, it would certainly have been good
policy to buy those articles at home.
Crates and mantels haven't much to do
with the Governor being at a prizs-fght,
and those who see any incOngruisy in mix
ing the two subjects may divide them to
their own liking.

The Blum. Truth About 1t.

Very few newspapers in either party
are 60 ready as tho New York Sun to tell
the plain truth about the political or
eanization with which they affiliate. Note
what the Sun says about the matter which
is causing great deal OF unhappiness in
the Democratic party and is likely to
cause more:
There has been as yet no encouragement
forpedagogue-mad Civil Service reform in
the Democratic State Conventions OF ibis
wear. From none of them has come good
word for il. The Virginia Democrats do
not want il, The Iowa Democrats do not
want It. Tho Mississippi Democrats do
not want 1t. The Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis do not want 1t. The Ohio Democrats
onot want it. Il was not to be expected
that they should. This Democratic party
will.have to undergo greater changes than
have ever yet come tolt, It VIII nave 70
change, indeed, the principles upon which
it is founded, and even the elements oil
which it is composed, before 1t can give
its sincere adherence to q scheme essen
italy aristccratic and anti-popular. 1t
will require something more than slight
interiusion OF Independent Republicanism
to transform the Democracy 30.
There has been no doubt from the first
that to tile great majority OF Democrats
civil service reform by means OF compete
tive examinations with permanent tenure
Is utterly distasteful. To their minds the
competition for the Offices took place last
November, and their side, having won,
should get the appointments. Out OF re-
gard for the administration, they may not
choose in their State Conventions to con-
denim the Pendleton.E bill, but their
opinion Of 1t is sufficiently disclosed by
their silence.
None Of them want it. Run line from
the Atlantic to,the Pacific and from the
British American provinces to Mexico,
and 1t will not strike q Democrat who be-
lieves that any Republican, however de-
serving and efficient ought to be allowed
to hold an office whicha Democrat can be
found to fill.
AS for the Civil Service reform which
Mr. Cleveland talked about, which was
promised in his name aud which served
to catch the votes Of some late Republic
cans who were not satisfied with the prac-
teal Civil Service reform OF theirown party,
the Democratic party was willing enough
for Mr.. Cleveland to masquerade in the
white robes Of reform, but when it comes
to giving the thing practical application,
they ask that the cup may be taken from
them.
Its fair point to make on the Demo-
cratic party that it never meant Civil
Services reform and only promised it to
catch votes. 1t has deluded such ingenu.
Gus and unsuspecting citizens as Mr..
George William Curtis and his highly re-
fiaed associates, and it has got them in go
awkward a position that they are obliged
to express themselves satisfied with the
treatment. "PedeEogue-made Civil Ser
vice reform" may or may not be good
thing, but Truth is always fair and beauti-
iul. a party cannot long live on false
pretensee.
