contemplating giving a military carnival soon,
in which the local militia are expected TO partici

The /. L. A. have set an example in regularly
attending practice drills it would be well for the
other local companies to initiate, They have
not missed drill since their return from Lafay-
cite. and their success in the field is due to the
hard work and attention given to practice drills
at home.
The entertainment given by the Emmett
Guards at their armory-Masonc Hal-on last
Thursday night, was great success. The hall

ORANGE LAKE, December 81, 1885.
MEssRs. EpIToRs Another Christmas has
come, the turkey has been killed and eaten,
and as such living has tendency to remind
us of former days and old acquaintance, we
thought it would be very good time to write
to you. We live in local option county,
and of course anything that has tendency to
create a Fright royal old time" must be well
masticated. We have an idea that some of our
citizens got over the border line about Xmas
day. We had an excellent turkey, which was
raised right here in the neighborhood. Six
teen pounds for young gobbler is not bad.
Tell our friend, Mr.. Z. o. Grimes, that the
fish bait that we got from him last summer
acted finely, and with one bait we caught fifty
pounds of lake trout, two of the largest of
which weighed Is pounds apiece.
Christmas has been very pleasant with us.
Had an Xmas tree on the oath, and an old
folks concert on the evening of the 25th, with
supper after, served by the ladies in the school
house close by. Net proceeds S101, which
does not seem so slow for a country picnic.
Our town is starting along slowly, several
houses going up, and more will be built this
winter We dined out with one of our new
neighbors the other day in his shanty, seated
around the table on boxes, kegs, boards on
kegs for benches, but the dinner was an ex-
cellelJ one. tuluh Tic vi bhS
had some training in the blue grass regions of
Kentucky. Everyone did ample justice to the
dinner, and not one complained of the sur
roundings. The parlor was out in the yard,
around log fire, seated on impromptu
benches.
We have had some cold weather this winter,
and every time the wind comes from the north
it is cold. Our trees have not been injured,
but think the other night was cold enough
to hurt the fruit in some places. The frost
dries up the juice, and you have nothing but
pulp. :,
We have cabbages coming on finely; plowed
them yesterday; have to make tight fence
around our cabbages to keep out the rabbits;
Slowed our tomato beds few days ago, and
will have plants ready to set out about the LIST
of February.
The Cuban mail is carried right by here
down to Tampa bay, and from there by boat
to Havana We make close connections trav-
cling from here going north; also from the
north coming south. Your paper is read here
every Monday evening with much interest
Wishing you happy New Year, l am, very
truly yours, BILLIE.

Maryland in Congress.

On the re-assembling of Congress on
Tuesday last Maryland's representatives
presented number of bills. A dispatch
saws ''when Mr.. McComas name was called
he handed in an immense batch, causing a
general laugh" An Indiana member re-
marked: awe will have time to go down
and get some lunch while McComas's bills
are being read"
Among his bills was one to erect mon
ument in Frederick, Nd, to Francis Scott
Key, author of the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner," to cost $4,000.
Mr.. Compton sent to the Speakers desk
several bills, the most important of which
were for preliminary survey ola free ship
canal from the waters of the Potomac to
the waters of the Chesapeake, from Wash
ington to Annapolis; also, bill directing
the accounting officers of the treasury to
settle the accounts of the States of Mary
land and Virginia for advances made to
the United States for the purpose of aiding
in erecting public buildings in Washington.
Mr.. Shaw sent up bill, which provides
for the relief of the heirs of Henry Leef,
deceased, owner of the bark Mary Tinsa,
illegally seized by Alex. H. Tyler, consul
of the United States at Bahia, Brazil

Gov. Hill, of New York, is sound on
civil service reform In his message to the
Legislature, which met on Tuesday last,
he says:
ssThe fundamental idea of this reform, that
nnblic Office is a trust to be exercised solely
for the public welfare and that offices should
be filed only by those best qualifedfo the SER
vice to be rendered after their fitness has been
ascertained by proper tests, is the cornerstone
of popular government This does not con-
fict with the principle indispensable in pop
ular government, that heads of departments
and others charged with the execution OF ad,
ministrative policies should be men in accord
with the chief executive or administrative
officer entrusted for the time being with the
execution of the popular will expressed
through the ballot box. This principle is
vital and has universal recognition"

The Beauty of Protection.

Eight years ago the exports of wheat from
India amounted to S9,500,000. In 1882 they
had increased to nearly S44 900, 900, and the
crop this year is said to equal that of the
United States. This change in India has been
brought about within the past ten years, and
from present indications American wheat will
soon have a competitor it will not know what
to do with. This great wheat industry in
India has been started and worked up by
England, that she might have a market for
her goods where she would not be compelled
to pay an enormous duty on them. And yet
probably three-fourths of our farmers in this
country who depend on their wheat will fight
against tariff reform because they are Repub-
licans, and their party has pledged itself to
the support of the protection, SO called, which
protects the ironmonger of Pennsylvania and
the factorios of New England, while the farm
er-dnpes go unprotected, and will soon be
left without any market, because of the policy
they are helping to maintain. Oakland, Cal. 1.

The Baltimore Times makes an appeal
in advance, on the opening day of the ses-
sion, for liberal judgment towards oul
lawmakers, 1t says
"Don't expect too much from our state
law makers; rather support them with friendly
counsel and abstain from proftless criticism. y
If this advice be followed towards the
present Legislature, it will be the first leg
islative body so generously treated for hall
a century. The rule is, to abuse them
without stint, whether they deserve it OF
not. Men incapable of an intelligent criti-
cism, can at least administer censure, and
that will serve as semblance, at least, OF
some opinion upon the subject.

As hand-shaker President Cleveland
has beaten the record. On New Years he
shook hands with more than six thousand
people at the rate of sixteen second. Up
to that time Gen. Grant lead the record.
And what burlesque, too, is this calling
on the President. They step up so rapidly,
and are hurried along so fast, that he can
not catch the name of more than one in
twenty nor recollect the appearance of one
in hundred. The calling is prompted by
curiosity to see the President, and the
President rushes through with it as he
would with any other task where all the joy
was at the close. These receptions take up
a good deal of valuable time, which could
be saved, and some physical labor too, if
change were adopted, as follows: On re-
ception days, let the President parade
through the room every hour, the room to
be cleared after each parade. In pleasant
weather the parade could take place in
the White House grounds.

In our supplement to-day we lay before
our readers the message of Gov. Lloyd to
the Legislature, besides much other matter
The message details the general operations
of the state government, and contains but
few suggestions of new character. Gov.
Lloyd believes the people desire to change
their organic law, and enumerates some Of
the more important changes that are deemed
necessary, and commits himself to new
constitution. He believes the question
should be submitted to the people at the
time of the congressional elections next
fall, and provision made, should the ques-
ton carry, to have the convention convene
on the first Wednesday of January, 1887.
