A DiTcrcnce between polioics.

The difference between the foreign
policy of the Cleveland administration
and that of Mr. Blaine is the difference
between sensible endcayor directed to
the accomplishment Of practical results
and wild adventure undertaken with no
better object than to attract attention
and dazzle the eyes Of the on-looker.
The superior management of our foreign
interests inaugurated by the present Sec
rotary of State i S well illustrated in the
Panama and Julio Santos affairs. In
both MIR. Bayard has acted with prompt
ness and decision, and the successful
event in the former case is more than
half due to the vigor and energy which
he employed the naval resources of the
United States to put down disorder and
secure the lives and property of Ameri-
cans residing on the isthmus. The Sec
retary's action was spirited, in the bet
ter sense Of the word, and is in fine CON
trast, rs regards both its objects and re
suits, with the blatherskite proceedings
of Mr. Blaine in connection with the
Chili-Peruvian incident It will be re-
called that Mr. Garfeld's Secretary of
State appeared at least to be more inter
ested in the financial promise of Shep-
herds scheme for vivifying Laudreau's
claim on Peru's nitre beds and guano de-
posits than in demonstrating the desire
OF the United States government to see
peace established between the warning
States or to secure an American citizen
in his rights. IL the object of his volum-
inous correspondence with kirkpatrick
and Hurlbut was unfortunate, the re-
suits We're little more gratifying either to
Mr.. Blaine or to the American people.
Nor was the pulverization the Secretary
offered at the hands of Earl Granville on
the occasion of his opening a cores
pondence with the latter over the Clay
on-Brewer treaty and our interests in
the isthmus a whit more flattering to the
character and ability Of our foreign Of
fice Mr.. Bayard has dealt in acts rath-
or than in argumentive dispatches. The
declaration that this government, having
satisfied itself of Julio Santos American
citizenship, must insist upon his being
treated by the government of Ecudor
as an American citizen, is worth ton of
argument, and illustrates admirably by
its directness, simplicity and plain prac-
teal purpose the kind of foreign policy
the new administration has undertaken
to pursue. \ people, numbering fifty,

You Want to go to Florida

Do you, and have little money?
Well, then, consider the hard facts,
and let us see if you are man enough to
accept them.
Are you easily discouraged; inclined to
be homssick when among strangers; to
look on the dark side of things; or, in
other words, do you lack pluck? Then
don't come.
Have you a large family of small chill
dren, or a delicate wife, who would pine
for the home comforts and society of
the north 2 Surely. then, Florida or any
new country, will only bring disappoint-
mont.
Have you an idea that the state is
beautiful blooming paradise, and that
81 coo an acre can be realized the first
year from crops If 50. you are again
sure of disappointment.
Have you no taste for gardening or
other outdoor employment, and would
rather work in a factory than cultivate
the soil: Then Florida is no place for
you.
We are meeting any quantity of just
such persons every day They are serv-
ing as walters III the hotels; are picking
oranges ut 81 per day, or more probable
loafng about their boarding houses,
cursing the country and their luck,
when no one is to blame but themselves.
On the other hand, we know any quanti-
/ ty of young men who are endowed with
/ plenty of pluck and perseverance, who,
| content with small things at first, are
rapidly rising to be wealthy, influential
citizens and have accomplished more in
limited period in Florida than the
sharper competition of the north would
have allowed them to do in whole life
/ time.
What Florida needs is MEN in every
sense Of the word. The conditions are
such that the idle and inefficient are likely
to be sifted out, and, under the law of
the survival of the fittest, there will re-
main a class that will be a credit and q
blessing to the commonwealth. These
are plain words, but not whit palmer
than the occasion demands.

The Advantages of Twinship in a

brakes Magazine.
A young man who was counting a girl
who had a twin sister was terribly inn
posed upon. She went out of town three
weeks and employed her sister as sub
stitue in the sitting up-at-night business
during her absence. The young man
called five times d week. as usual, and
didn't leave until after midnight. with
out detecting the imposition. When he
learned of the trick that had been played
upon him he got mad and broke off the
engagement. The twins looked as much
alike as two capital P's and he said that
he might be fooled into marrying the one
that he didn't love. 1t was certainly
narrow escape, though, come to think
about it, we can't see what difference it
would have made as long as ignorance
was bliss and the twins didn't object.
Having young lady twins in the house is
rather neat arrangement. When a
young man is so infatuated that he calls
seven nights week they can take turns
sitting up with him and thus look fresh
and wideawake every other evening al
ternately, anyway. No sensible young
man should object to such an admirable
health preserving scheme either.
