The name of Mr.. Jesse l.. Burton
of Putnam will be presented through
our delegates in Congress to Mr..
Cleveland for the appointment of
Receiver to the Land Office at Cal
nesville. Mr.. Burton's claims arc
supported by long list of business
men in Palatka and by distinguish
ed democrats from the counties of
Putnam, Volusia Jackson and Duval
as we'll as by some of our highest state
officers. Wehave known Mr.. Burton
personally for several years but in
wishing him success we are actuated
: by conviction that in him the peo'
pie will find an able and faithful
servant as well as by thorough
knowledge of his business ability
and by the warmth of personal
friendship. We are sure our friends
in Washington will find no man
more fit for the position or more en-
tirely acceptable to the public.

THE CLUB VS. THE LANCE.

The Times-UniOn has found the
weighty club of SO little avail that
it does not even adventure a blow
on the stainless shield of the Florida
Herald. Since the Knights of Ar
thurs Table Round went forth to
free the world of giants dread, the
mighty arms and foul words of the
monsters have never dintcd or dim
med the silver armor of the cham
pion who kept stout heart and pur-
pose pure. But the return stroke
of keen lance and biting falchion
opens joint after joint in tbs mon
ster's harness till his life-blood glo-
rifles, while It sullies, the trenchant
steel.
So shall it ever be! It needed
not for proof conclusive the lesson
of the last campaign where victory
was won against great odds because
our opponent wore the tattoo
marks; it needs not the experience
of our daily lives to show that in
such a warfare he who is right car
never fail against the banded hosts
of selfishness and pride. The man
who worthily seeks the Holy Grail,
hears in his breast an echo of the
rolling organ-harmony from shrine
and cloud and mountain walls which
urges him continually,
30 just and faithful Knight of God,
Ride on! the prize is near"

It is to be hoped that those who
have the right to lead in the solu-
ton of doubtful questions will lend
their most thoughtful aid to
n wise decision as to the
manner in which delegates should
be chosen to the constitutional con-
vcntion. The election of three par
tisans would be n misfortune to the
county; even the election of three
good men on partisan ticket would
be a cause of regret. Shall mass
meeting be called to select a ticket
Or can the committees Of the two
parties agree on plan of concerted
action? 1t is matter SO important
to the whole people that all party
feeling or sectional rivalry should
be eliminated if possible.

THE SHIPMENT OF ORANGES.
Tho nronor hau6liNO IF Our fruit

THE SHIPMENT OF ORANGES.
The proper handling of our fruit
crop is a matter of Importance, di-
rectly or Indirectly, to all of us. We
have given the views, pro and con,
of several prominent fruit culturists,
as to the origin of certain evils now
seriously affecting our profits in this
direction, but remedies for these
can only be found by the publica-
ton of results such as we have tried
to give the public. In this connec-
ton the following extract which we
are permitted to make from letter
to the Hon. p. p. Bishop of our
county from Mr.. L. j. p. Bishop,
the New York agent of Bishop,
Hoyt & Co., is interesting to every
fruit grower on the st. Johns. If
our profits can be taken off by care
less handling of fruit en- route to
market, it is necessary that different
lines be held strictly accountable for
treatment rendered, and this can
only be brought to public attention
through the press. We trust, in the
interests of the public, that other
shippers will follow this example and
state fairly and explicitly their
grievances as a first step towards
their correction. Justice to all con-
cerned demands that no more gen
eral charges or vague complaints be
made, but that facts and figures be
publicly given.
Mr.. Bishop says: 'Lots 20 and
"a arrived yesterday via Charleston

we ask the public to give us support
