FLORIDA AND CALIFORNIA.

The freezing wave that last week swept
over Florida and killed all the Young
orange trees, has caused an advance in prices
in California for ungathered orange crops
We have no desire to congratulate our peo-
pie upon gain resulting from the misfor-
tunes of others. But in this case it was
the act of nature, and it is defensible to
speak of it as representing the superiority
of California climate. We have no reason
to expect such disastrous climatic condi-
tons here, and certainly none so severe as
to operate harmfully upon the whole
area Of our semi-tropical section. 1t is not
to be even taken into the account of posi-
bilities that cold waves will ever affect all
the orange-producing belts in California at
one time. This season has, therefore. de-
veloped an additional risk the orange
grower of Florida assumes, that is practi
callv unknown to the orange-growers of
California, and to this record of nature we
may justiliably appeal in advocating the
claims of this State.

A NARROW POLICY.

The Chamber of Commerce of San Fran
cisco lacks courage. The Board of Trade
of Sacramento addressed it respectful
communication soliciting its assistance in
arranging Joint conference between the
Managing Directors of the Mechanics In
stitute and the State Board of Agriculture
with view of adjusting dates so as to pre-
vent the holding of the Institute Fair and
the State Fair at the same time. This
contamination is one desired by all the
people, and especially by exhibitors at
these fairs. The State is not so large nor
our exhibitors so numerous as to justify the
holding of two general expositions at the
same time. The success of both associ-
ations is desired, and the full benefits of
both should he accorded the State. But
this Is impossible when they occupy COM
petitiye attitudes The request of the
Sacramento Board of Trade was therefore
proper and timely. Business organizations
have the right to interest themselves in
these matters, and no action would have
been more fitting than for the two bodies
named to have brought about an amicable
conference between the representatives of
the two exposition associations. But the
Chamber of Commerce declined to act be-
cause 1t had not been requested to do so bv
both the parties to the issue. Indeed
When prior action goes that far the medi
alton of no trade body will be needed. Is
was precisely because the Fair Directors
have not come together to confer and have
not arranged or asked for conference.
that the Board of Trade solicited the
Chamber to act with it in bringing it
about II is not a question of arbitration
at all, but one of Independent mediation.
The refusal of the Chamber is based upon
narrow excuse, one not defensible: one
Justifyins the suspicion that The represent
alive commercial body of the metropolis
rather favors the narrow and damaging
policy pursued by the Mechanics Insti-
tute in holding over its fair to cover the
dates of that of the State Board of Agri-
culture. 1t is to be hoped that the Board
of Trade will not be discouraged bv the
F. rebuff of the Chamber, but will pursue the
purpose it has in view, and bring about the

THE EXTREMES IN THE FINANCIAL
DEBATE.

The Louisville Courar-Jou'ndl, which
claims to occupy middle ground in the
financial debate, warns the ears" of ex-
tremists on both sides, because it believes
extremism IN this discussion is harmful to
all interests. Thus it says:
One extreme would abolish all the silver and
greenbsck currencies. and leave a monopoly of
the circulation to the medium which constit-
utes less than one-half the currency volume
The opposite extreme would make the issue of
legal tender aud silver currencies unlimited
The one would establish sort of plutocratic
desPotism in which the capitalist money could
buy several fold more labor and property than
at present, and the other would work forward
TO financial millennium, in which q basketful
of money would buy basketful of coal or pota-
toes
This is in itself an extreme way of stat
ing the case, but the morale of the state
ment is forcible. The Cincinnati CONNER
eiat Gazette in the same financial atmos-
phere, warns the gold men at the East
that their vehement denunciation of silver
is having precisely the opposite effect to
that desired, since it does not convert the
West. On the other hand it opposes the ex-
tremists who would drive gold out of the
country. 1t believes that the middle
course is to cease forced silver coinage in
order to avoid the demonstration of gold
and the contraction of the currency.
These views of two representatives jour-
mails of the middle West may be taken to
indicate that public opinion in those sec
tions does not run to either extreme. but
favors policy-as the Journal puts it
" that will give 4 liberal supply of both
metals" The press of the far East, how
ever, is mainly as extremely heated against
silver as most of the journals of the far west
are enthusiastic for it.

THE AMERICAN, THE BETTER METHOD.

There are" says Mr.. Roe now visiting
this State for charitable interests in Ire
land, nearly 5000 deaf mutes in Ireland,
and all the institutions in that country for
their education and training are supported
by private benefactions." In neither Ire
land, Scotland nor England are there anv
public institutions for these unfortunate
beings. Americans, to whom State asv-
lums for the deaf and dumb are so familiar
can be pardoned expressions of surprise at
this statement when, by turning to official
reports, it is disclosed that members of the
English Parliament have manifested like
surprise on discovering the fact. IL Eng
lish legislators confess ignorance of the
non-support by the Government of such
institutions, how much less should II he
expected that we in this country should
be correctly informed upon the subject.
Whether this non-contribution by Great
Britain to a broad charity for class that
is here recognized as State charge is due
to the forehandedness of benevolent indi-
viduals, rendering Governmental activity
unnecessary, or whether it is due to the
position by the Government that the deaf
mute Is not properly ward of the State
We have no means of determining. But we
do know that it is deemed necessary for
agents to go abroad and solicit private aid
for humane work that in America Is
unanimously agreed should be borne bv
the State Governments. England itself is
well supplied with asylums for deaf
mutes = the results of private bene-
factions - but Ireland has few sucb
aids. and her people are too impoverished to
properly maintain and enlarge those she has.
From encyclopedia statistics it is learned
that the proportion of deaf mates to the
population is not greatly different in the
two countries, and that in both nations the
unfortunates are mainly educated in asv-
lums. The number OF deaf mute institu-
tions in the United States is double that of
those in England, while France and Ger
many have each third more than we. In
the method of caring for those who. Snder
the Roman law. were placed on plane
with the idiotic, but to whom the human
ity and reason of this age give proper
position IN society. We cetainly lead Eng
land, Just as in the4aumber of institutions
we surpass her. The call upon our people
10 contribute for the care and education Of
class IN ireland who here are made pub-
lie bene6ciaries. is novel sensation. The
response to the appeal is, we learn. general
and liberal 1t must appear to the Eng
iish as rebuke, since by reason of gov
ornamental neglect they make such appeals
necessary. On the other hand, while
Americans contribute for the private asy.
lums in Ireland, they must reflect that the
American system of discharging charitable
duty is the better of the two.

TROUBLE ON THE SoUTHERN.-The rad

down south, which Superintendent Fill
more refers to as follows "Our trouble is
all between Mohave and Yuma. There
are washouts in the Soledad canyon and
one bridge III the canyon, which we know
as the fourth crossing, is off its abutments.
The bridges on both sides of Los Angeles
are damaged there are three or four bents
out OF each one, and we can not get trains
either into or out of Los Angeles The
river has left its bed and is running into the
lower part of Los Angeles. No trains can
get in from the Santa Ana valley, from
San Pedro or from Santa Monica There
are small washouts between Cotton
and Los Angeles and the Los Angeles
branch. In the desert there are wash
outs between Indio and Yuma to what
extent we do not know. The California
Southern between Waterman and Cotton
is badly washed and many cuts are filled
III with slides. At Waterman Junction the
whole town is flooded and several stores
are partly filled with water There are
many washouts on the Atlantic and Pacific
road. AT the Mojave river they are COM
PEELED to transfer passengers, and there has
been an interruption for forty Eight hours.
They hope to get through tonight. | can
not yet say how extensive the washouts are
along the Southern Pacific. There are side
washes by the track, say ten inches deep
and half way across the ties In some
places culverts have given way where they
were not large enough to take all the wa
ter. Probably there will not be through
trains on the Southern Pacific Railroad
within week"
