ORANGES AND TRANSPORTA-
TION.

In two able articles from the pens
of Messrs Hammond and Crosby of
this county, lately published in THE
News, both of these gentlemen
show clearly and forcibly that moth
ing IS needed to make the orange
industry of Florida one of the most
profitable in the world, except
cheaper transportation and the ex-
ercise of better judgment in mar
keting the crop after it is gathered,
In this view of the subject they will
be sustained by all fruit culturists
who have a practical knowledge of
the situation.
We have demonstrated that we
can grow the orange; it has been
also abundantly proved that under
proper conditions the orange will
keep so long that there need I've
no great haste in making sales. and
our field for the disposition of the
crop Is practically coextensive with
union, perhaps with the exception
of California and her immediate
neighbors. Therefore if fruit cul-
ture is to be made profitable in our
state the grower must exercise
greater judgment in marketing his
crop and transportation must be-
come cheaper. On the st. Johns
river there will soon be SO much
competition between the various
lines that the question of transpor-
tation will settle itself unless there
is entire want of cooperation be-
tween the farmers. But at present
it is simple fact that the transpor'
tation companies are reaping more
than their just share of the profits
from our groves.
A comparison between the rates
paid by foreign fruit and our OWL

THE WEST FOR CALL.

We quote the following from the
Pensacolian to show our readers
that we are by no means alone in
our view Of the animus debating
the attacks on our junior senator.
The Commercial has already spo-
ken; to-day the Pensacolian is
equally vigorous in denunciation of
those who wage war on Call as Ger
tain New York journals do on La.
mar and Garland and Harris-possi'
bly, from the same motive.
Says our contemporary from The
Gulf coast:
Eve have noticed for some time the
position of this senator from Florida
in the debates in congress on the land
question and were much pleased at the
decided stand he has taken against the
land grabbers in this state and elsewhere
His efforts to get all forfeited railroad
lands restored to the people is a move il
the right direction, and whether he is &C
tuated by patriotic moves or purely polit
ical ones, We do not care so long as TIN

will show that rot even the tariff
can help us till we learn to help
ourselves. A box of foreign oranges
can be picked, packed and delivered
in New York for little more than
one dollar To this if we add TWEEN
ty-five cents for duty we have the
total cost from Sicily or Italy. On
the other hand if we take 4 route
from Florida on which there can be
no competition from lines Of water
transportation, we will have a fair
exposition of the exhorbitant
charges which take the profits out of
the pockets Of the producer. Be-
low will be found copy of an ac-
tual bill from the Florida Fruit Ex-
change for oranges shipped the
present season. The Exchange Is
supposed to be under the manage
ment of the growers themselves, and
represents the latest attempt to get
rid of the burden of freights and
commissions under which the in
dustry has suffered more than from
cold or insects or all natural causes
combined. Oranges are transported
from Italy or Sicily to New York
for thirty to forty cents; the fol-
lowing bill is for fruit shipped from
n point on the st. Johns to Cleve-
land, Ohio, and tells its own story:

down in his initial prOnouncement, Mr.,
Terrell now trusts to the fate of popu-
lar verdict. If he wins, his success will
show how well he measured the state of
the popular mind. If he fails, his failure
will show nothing, except, perhaps. that
party organization is still the greatest
controlling power in Texas politics"
These utterances, remember, were en-.
tirely consistent with the utterances of a
long public life. Will the Gazette, in at
tributing personal motives to Judge Ter
rell, dare say they were net wise and
statesmanlike utterances
1t is an easy thing to attribute political
motives to any gentleman, but when they
are the consistent declarations of his life
and their wisdom cannot be called in
question, it is unjust to attribute any
other motives to him but the good.of his
country.

pondence and his reasons in every case OF
dismissal.
Mr.. Cleveland controls coordinate
Branch of the government with its rights
and dignities quite as marked and defined
as those of the senate of the United
States, and he has very Justly rebuked
that impertinence and sustained the dig
nifty of his position by declining to give
the reasons and furnish the correspond
ence.
Falstaff said some very sensible things,
and one was when cornered by Prince
Hal and asked for n reason, ne replied:
"A reason! Give reason on cOmpulsion

berries, | would not give a reason on com
pulsion."
There is another thing that the senate
Ought to remember, and that the consider
alton of combinations of nominations for
Office by the president is always enter
tanned by that body in executive session,
and with closed doors, barring out the
curiosity of the public. Almost simulta-
neously with this resolution of the senate,
IN inf h,yt nf
consistency, introduced a resolution to
abolish the secret system of considering
the claims of the nominees by the senate,
but that was defeated, and still they in
sist on the president opening up his cor
respondence and giving special reason
on all cases, either of applicants for Office
or those released of Office. This does not
seem to be very consistent.
But there is another more forcible illus
tration of the Inconsistency of those repub-
lican senators, a reason that seems to have
escaped the newspapers, to-wit, everyone
familiar with legislation at Washington is
aware of the fact that the senate com
mittees have locked up in their respective
committee rooms in the capitol whole vol
umes of documents that would throw
more light on the history of republican
administration than all the historians will
do for a century to come, and they have
persistently refused to let those docu-
ments leave the privacy of theiI commit
tee rooms, thereby concealing from the
people the most important events in the
history of the nation.
In the face of these well-known facts,
the impudence that prompted the resolu-
ton of the senate assumes sublimity, and
is worthy of the veteran cheek of re-
publican senator.

REPUBLICAN INCONSISTENCY.

positions, and insists upon Mr.. Cleveland
opening up to public gaze all the CORES.
pondence the president has received on
that subject, but Mr.. Cleveland, with char
acteristic dignity, has refused to convey
the reasons for his actions to that body.
This is rather new wrinkle to old demo-
Gratis, who do not exactly understand the
influence civil service reform has theoret-
ically had upon office holders theoretical
ly from the fact that during republican
administration, civil service reform was
theory, not practically applied princi-
pie i'll the control, advancement or relief
of office holders, but now with
the offices of the country filled with re-
publicans, as Mr.. Cleveland found them,
they desire to rob the democrats of the
fruits of presidential victory by keep
ing these same republican partisans in
office.
Civil service reform might do very well
if Mr.. Cleveland's administration had
been offered a clean slate, or, in other
words, if all republican oflice-holders had
resigned and opened fair competition
to democrats, but the republicans have
