The presidents absence from the
White House gives the old mansion

ance, when Grant, Hayes and Arthur
went summering to Long Branch,
to the country fairs or the Yellow
stone. Mr.. Cleveland was absent
for month last summer, but he has
been away from his post less than
any of his three predecessors.
There is great deal of curiosity
to see the wedding presents, but the
president is determined that it shall
not be gratifed. One of the cabinet
ladies says that nobody outside of
the Cleveland and Folsom families
knows anything about them; and
Col. Lamont says that two-thirds of
the boxes have not been opened yet.

The Irish Home Rule bill in the
British parliament was defeated on
Monday by vote of 81 to BAL. The
vote was taken amid great excite
ment. Some who hitherto claimed
to be liberals either voted against the
bill or ran out of the house when
the vote was taken. 1t is neverthe-
less a vote of progress, and one of
those defeats that mean victory. The
liberals who faithfully stood by
Gladstone and Parnell through the
entire struggle are even greatly en-
couraged. This great question of
justice and progress will now 60 be-
fore the English people, as those of
other nationalities, and its final adop-
ton can only be a question of time.

The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1886-02-18

The New York World lis severely at
tackled by some of our contemporaries for
its failure to'defend Florida against the
abuse Of other New York papers, and it
is urged that it should have been first in
our defence because it recently received
a large sum for its Florida edition. 1t
will be remembered however that con-
siderable portion of the Florida press de-
nounced the said Florida edition as some
thing more than failure-even an OBJ
tanning Of money under false pretenses,
and it may be inferred that the World
retaliated by asserting. silence when
Florida was misrepresented. To discuss
the World a little further, we would re-
mark that it is great paper, but it is not
bigger than the Democratic party; it
cannot run the party in its interest, and
had better be run in the interest of the
party if it is not, though it may gain as
wide a circulationas the Police Gdzette,
it will have little more influence. The
democratic people are not in sympathy
with it in its assaults upon their honored
leaders, and the mass like them none the
less, and it much less, in consequence. 1t
was peculiarly offensive in it's persecu-
ton of Mr.. Bayard, and fatterly of Mr..
Garland in the matter of his connection
with the Pan-Electric Company. In face of
its bitter and persistent attacks and asser-
tions it has been proved by statement
of the precise facts that Mr.. Garland was
not connected with the litigation in any
way and is absolutely free from blame.
The opponents of the Democratic party
and its Administration derive great com.
fort from the World, and quote it to
sustain their own positions.

Nearly Sixty Years Ago.

A copy of the North Anaerican Revieso
for April, 1928, is before us, and from an
interesting article on Florida we select
the following paragraphs of review of
a paper prepared by David b. M'Comb,
of Tallahassee, in 1927:
The answers of Mr. MComb appear to have
been ELECTED by a number of well directed que
ries from an intelligent citizen OF Berne, swift
eIland, and transmitted through General La
fayetie. 1t appears from the answers OF Mr.
MComb to these queries, that he is practical
PAINTER residing in the neighborhood of the fine
tract OF land voted to the General bv Congress,
and selected adjoining the city OF Tallahassee.
Mr.. MComb has given some interesting particu-
lars but we fear somewhat colored by warm
fancy. We cannot be brought to believe that
the blessings OF this life are SO unequay and so
partially dispensed among the jewellers on diff
ierent portions OF the earth, as by the perusal OF
this paper we should be led 10 suppose. We
cannot help thinking that the advantages OF the
Tallahassee district are somewhat exaggerated
and that the counterpart of the picture has not
been shown us at all That it does possess a
counterpart, we cannot doubt; otherwise II
would be paradise.
Mr.. MComb states an important fact with re-
spect to Uhtte db0Ters in Middle Florida. He
says they can ant do endure the heat of the sun in
their agricultural operations, without experience
ing the least inconvenience from it. This is ow-
ing to the elevation Of the land and to the con-
tguily OF the Gulf and consequently the indu-
ence of the seabreeZe. The two great staples of
the country, he observes, are the sea-sland cot
ton and the sugar-cane, both of which have sue
ceeded, and OF course will succeed. In addition
to these, he mentions indigo, rice, and all the
various grains, and ceredlid of the Southern
States. He thinks the Swiss colony might soon
derive profit from the culture OF the vine, OF
which there are eight or ten different species,
natives of the woods, where they bear an abun-
dance of grapes. The woods are filled with wild
grape vines, which require only the skill of the
vine dresser. The French blue grape il seems
has in many instances been engrafed on the wild
vines, and has borne the second year, and the
third abundanly. This is very important fact
as 1t goes to prove, by taking advantage of the
numerous stools or roots, vineyard might be
rendered productive in half perhaps one-third
of he time requisite farther north A popula-
| ton, therefore, acquainted with the culture OF
The vine, and the manufacture of wine, of both
of which our population in general is entirely
ignorant, would DC IA valuable acquisition. Mr.
MComb states, that the olive and the orange
have been cultivated in other parts OF the terri
tory with success, and that the few orange trees
about Tallahassee, from three 10 tour years old
have never suffered the slightest injury from
frost

The FLoRIDIAN has asked the State papers
to keep silence on the absence of Senator Jones
till he should think best TO make explanations
but it is now necessary To give the directions
wider application, for the New York World
makes full disclosures. We know at last ex-
ac,ly how many times the Senator has popped,
how many boquels he has bought and that he
expects TO be in Washington immedaey-when
her ladyshp shows proper appreciation of his
own claims to worship. We hope our tender
hearted contemporary will now appreciate an ex-
PLANTATION himself-Pajatka Daily News.
Our good contemporary will permit us
to correct its statement that the "FLoR-
IDIAN asked the State papers to keep ST.
lence," &c. We did not so ask, and
would not assume the right to, though
we would essay to guard the reputation
of an absent friend, and to protest against
his condemnation unheard, and the very
coarse language of some OF his assailants.
We also expressed an opinion to the effect
that abusing the Senator was not the
way to persuade him into explanation.

There is not another State in the
Union that could have stood so severe q
calamity as has just befallen Florida, and
revive as quickly without outside help.
Take, for instance, Kansas and some 9th.
err Western States when their crops were
destroyed by grasshoppers. Thousands
of dollars were contributed, through the
influence of the press, by sympathizing
friends from all parts of the Union, to
help them through the season. But, in
stead of Offering to extend helping hand
towards us, they are kicking us while we
are down. But we do not want their
help; all we want is fair statement of
facts, and allow us one year to get over
our misfortune, and we will show them
that our future is not entirely ruined, but
will be on a more solid basis than ever
before. When orange groves are set ont
hereafter, it will be in localities suited to
them, and people will turn their attention
to other things beside oranges. Win
raise enough of other fruits and vege-
tables to pay running expenses, and thus
have the orange crop as clear profit

Florida, for papers from all over the State
bring us accounts of the observance OF
the Governors recommendation. In

"made day of it " in tree planting. In
one town the work was kept up during
two days succeeding Arbor Day, and its
streets will be empowered with trees il

Another eminent name is added to the
lamentable death roll of ilustrions dem
