As an indication of how Florida is
growing may be mentioned the fact that

county property was $l,75O,OOo, and in

The aggregate majority for David

1884 and the latter $3.50, making the
Democratic majority in Florida 9,693-is
gratifying to every Democrat in the State,
a cheering indication of future victories
for the party, and means majority of
$4,000 for Florida Democrats in 1885,
Harry Donovan, the pressman, who
was the last foolhardy creature to jump
from Brooklyn Bridge. yesterday broke
the record for tomfoolery by dropping
from the Niagara Suspension Bridge,
distance of 200 feet. He was taken out of
the water alive, and at last accounts was

The forthcoming report on Southern
industrial progress, by the Bureau of
Statistics, will undoubtedly create great
sensation throughout the country. The
chapter on Florida will read like fairy
tale, with its descriptions of the marvellous
growth of the orange, cocoanut, banana
and honey interests. The Florida orange
crop of next season, it is said, is expected
to amount to 100000 boxes.
The packers strike in Chicago, by
virtue of General Master Workman Pow
derly's order for the men to go back to
work, seems definitely ended. The strike
has lasted some fourteen days, involving
two weeks idleness to $4,000 men, and
has given rise to many fears of serious
collision. From Mr. Powderly's action
in the matter it would seem that the first
step of the men may have been ill-advised.

The following, from the Raleigh
Ne,cs and Observer, should be borne in
mind by Democrats everywhere: "Another
lesson of the reverse which has made all
North Carolinians open their eyes, is that
it would be we'll to bear in mind that
Democratic influence should be conserved
and not frittered away by querulous and
captious objections, and by making much
out of little things because they are not
done to suit every one"
r.. B. Hayes has given mysteriousy
oracular utterance on politics that would
have done credit to Captain Bunsby.
The eminent chicken-farmer refused to be
interviewed further than to say that the
recent elections gave evidence of Ger
tain drift in politics." though what the
drift is he declined to even indicate.
Elections commonly do give evidence of
" a certain drift in politics." The drift
in 1876 was SO strongly towards fraud
that Mr.. Hayes was seated in an office to
which he was not elected by the people,

The AdUance- Gazette says: The
Key West Equator, Pendy's personal or
gan, comes to hand for the first time since
the election, under the date of Nov. 18th.
The Equator admits the defeat of Pen
dleton, and claims that Monroe county
gave BIN majority of eighty-o,ae, "a de-
cided falling off from the tw elve hundred
majority he counted on), but glories in
the supposition that the Democratic party
has been weakened by the recent canvass
You're off your base again, Pendy, the
Democratic party is far stronger now,
that it is we'll rid of you and your kind.
The Boston papers can say very
nice things when they try. In welcoming
the Presidents wife to the Hub the other
day, the Herald said "In all the attri
butes of an ideal wife and woman, Mrs
Grover Cleveland has reflected credit
upon her sex, and it is not strange that
she is beloved by all who can penetrate
within the charmed circle of her sunny
joyous, fruitful daily life. Even Boston
conservative and conventional, if you
will, yet keenly and intelligently discrim
mating, welcomes Mrs. Cleveland as a
wife who is the worthy theme of honor'e
