Expected to Die suddenly.

Miss Katherine Bayard, whose unex.
pected death at Washington, on Saturday
morning, was such shock to her family
and friends seems to have had an impress
sion that her life would terminate sud
denly. 1t is remembered now that when
talking OF matters relating TO death she
had often said "When l die l shall 20
just like that" giving quick movement
Of her hand.
Miss BaYard had long held prominent
position in W ashingtOn society, and had
the reputation Of being a brilliant, amia-
bic and lovable woman. Being the eldest
daughter, and her mother being an in
valid, she had many responsible and ex-
acting duties TO perform. She appears to
nave met every demand upon her con-
scientiously and satisfactorily, but the
burden she undertook TO bear was too
great for her.
Last spring she met with an accident
that may have helped TO hasten her death.
She was thrown from her horse, and
though not apparently injured, her ner-
Ycus system, doubtless, received a serious
shock which, perhaps, accelerated the
disease from which she was then suffer
ing and from which she died.
TO those who saw Miss Bavard AZ her
fathers reception on Friday night, bright,
gay, and apparently in the enjoyment OF
excellent health, the announcement of her
death Twelve hours afterwards must have
come with tragic force.

The negroes are emigrating from several
Of the Southern states in such numbers as
TO attract attention. They are going to
Arkansas. Kansas, and even to Cali
fornia. The only reason they have for
emgrauns Is the belief that they can i'm
prove their material condition. Some Of
them doubtless will be disappointed,
While others, if they have the necessary
energy, ana are thrifty and economical,
will succeed in making for themselves
comfortable homes.
The wages of farm laborers hasn't adj
vanccd TO any appreciate extent in any
locality, which is pretty good evidence
that those who have emlgrated can very
well be spared. The natural increase OF
the negroes is considerable, and there
isn't at present reason for thinking that
the number Of emigrants Will exceed this
increase in the very near future. A few
planters perhaps begin TO fear that the
emigration movement will assume such
proportions that they will be without suf-
ficent labOrePs TO work their lands. They
are alarmed perhaps without sufficient
cause
The negroes have nocOmplaInts to make
of their teatmentin any partot the South
The feeling between them and the white
people is good. and their relations are in
all respects satisfactory. Nowhere are
there any complaints, as far as can be
learned. The negroes are well paid for
all their work, and they work only wnen
they feel disposed to do SO.
When President Cleveland was elected
the negroes were apprehensiVe of some
sort Of danger to their liberty. They had
been taught by their Republican allies
that Democratic ascendancy meant their
degradation. Their temporary alarm has
wholly disappeared, and they are begin
ming to understand that the control of the
government by the Democrats is a good
thing for them. They realize that their
relations with the white people are pleas
anter now than ever before. They Will
never again vote solidly with the Repub-
licans. A very large percentage Of them
the most intelligent, peThaps-wlll, in fu-
ture elections, vote with the Democrats.
The emigration of negroes from any
locality in the South is not to be regretted.
Senator Butler is reported to have said
that the emigration of 100000 negroes
from South Carolina would be good
thing for that State. His position was
that if the negroes emigrated their places
would be taken by thrifty white people,
and that each white man would do twice
as much as a black one to make the State
wealthy and prosperous, There are few
who Will dispute the correctness Of his
position.
The North Carolina negroes who are
going to California have an assurance of
steady work at good wages, but those who
are going to Arkansas and Kansas nave
no promise of employment, and do not
know that the locality to which they are
emigrating will offer them any advantages
over that which they are leaving. The
probabilities are that most OF them will
wish they had never emigrated.

The FIorida Orange interests.


There doesn't appear to be any reason
to doubt the correctness OF our first re-
ports respecting the damage to the Flori-
da orange interests from the recent cold
weather About all hanging oranges
were frozen, and all nursery trees and
young trees IN groves were killed. The
Older trees escaped destruction, and in
most cases were only slightly injured
Those Of the growers who succeeded in
saving a part of their crop in the pack
ing houses were fortunate, and will be
benefited by the very great rise that
has taken place in the price OF Flor
ida oranges in the Northern markets. 1t
is probable that a larger percentage of
the crop was caught on the trees by the
cold wave than was at first reported.
Many growers were not satisfied with the
prices which oranges were commanding
only about 81 10 per box net-and they
were waiting for rise. 1t would not be
surprising, therefore, If the loss approx
mated half, rather than quarter, of
the entire crop.
When the first reports of the freeze
were received, we stated that the proba-
billties were that the older trees were not
killed for the reason that cold weather
few days before had hardened them and
that the sap had hardly begun to run in
them. Later reports confirm this state
ment.
OF course, these bearing trees have suf-
fered some damage, from which it may
take them a season or two to recover, but
they Will in time recover all their vigor
andproducing power.
A short crop may be expected next year,
and, perhaps, the year after. but orange
growing interests have received no serious
set back. Every few years the levees of
the lower Mississippi break, and thous-
ands of farms and plantations are almost
ruined. These rich lands, however, are
not abandoned. The damage is repaired
and the land is again put under cultiva-
ton. There are doubtless many dis
hcartened growers in Florida, but the
damage that the late cold weather did
isn't going to stop the orange growing
business.

difficulty in dispOsing Of the bonds. While

doubtless find a ready market, provided
the conditions on which they were author

rable investment at all if it were not pos

A Song of the Typewriter.

From TODB Topics.
Where Broadway throngs cOmmIngle.
In endless surge and roar,
BY plate-glass basement window
sits the pretty girl, LenOre.
Her fingers touch SO deity
The Knobs Of the machine,
That a constant group is gathered
On the sidewalk looking in.
Slim clerks are in abundance;
Gay gents about the town;
Blue message boys; white walters,
Farmers rough and brown.
The most of them, | venture,
Have seen the thing before
] wonder II they are looking
At the pretty girl, LenOre?
Unmiudful OF the gazers,
Her graceful head Is bent:
The soft yes glance not upward,
Upon their work intent.
And vet she must be conscious
OF her beauty and It's charm,
Such vanity in women
Scarce ever works her harm.
Prosaic as her writing
Of letters seem to be,
saw her little romance
Lasg summer nv the sea,
As the moon. two forms revealing;
Slowly turned from gold to white,
Some pleasant words were spoken
On the silvered beach that night.

From the 81. LoHiS Gt0Je Dem ocrGt.
Those who insist upon the value and neces-
sity of collegiate influence IN our politics can
ind but little comfort n the contem platiOp OF
the present facts IN that connect on. The
President Of the United states, Grover Cleye-
land, never attended q college of any kind.
The Acting Vice President. John sherman, IS
a graduate OF the common schools of Ohio.
The secretary Of State, Thoma +. Bayard,
never got further than Delaware rural
academy. The speaker Of the House of Rep
resentatiVes, John q. Carlisle, is self-edu
Gated man. OF the entire seventy four mem
bers OF the senate only thirty are graduates
OF colleges, and OF these thirty only twelve
hold diplomas from institutions OF national
reputation. In the House the ratio of college
graduates to those who never had any college
training Is less than one to four. and the col
lcGIans are 10y no means the strongest and
most influential men of the hOdy--a statement
which also applies to the relative standing
and power of the two classes in the senate.
ne party leaders on both sides in both
branches Of Congress are nearly all men
whose educational privileges. in the strict
sense OF the expression, were confined to the
ordinary country or village school.

The President and Democratic Con
gressmen.

Is it true, as stated by a few Democrat
ic journals, that there is a lack of SYM
pathy between the President and a ma
jority OF Democratic Congressman? II it
is what what is the cause of it? What
has the President done that he should not
have the cordial support of his party in
Congress? Has he violated any of the
pledges which he made before his cleo
tionS II so, which one? Has he disre-
garded any of the provisions of the
platform on which he was elected?
He has done nothing of which any con-
siderable faction Of his party has the
right to complain. He has broken no
pledges, and he has disregarded no proyi-
sion of the national Democratic platform.
The trouble appears to be that he re-
fuses to overstep the barriers which the
party itself erected. Prominent Congress
men have insisted that he should do this
or that thing and he has refused, not be-
cause he would not like TO crafty them,
but because he has determined not to vio-
late pledges made either by himself or his
party.
What is il that those who condemn
him want? Do they want him to disre-
gard the Civil Service law? Why don't
they advocate a repeal Of the law? ii It
is a bad law the best way to insure its re-
peal is to enforce it. hit is good law
it ought to stand and be enforced. Wheth-
er, therefore, it Is good or bad the Presi-
dent is right ia enforcing it.
It is true the President fayors the sus-
pension OF silver coinage, but the Demo
Gratis ought not to find fault with him for
that They are divided on the silver
question, and the administration must
take one side or the other OF II. the
President, however, doesn't try TO force
Congress to adopt his views. He has
given very strong reasons for fayoring
suspension, and he thinks that his duty
with regard 10 the silver issue Is done for
the present Having furnished Congress
with his views and all the information IN
his possession respecting it he awaits its
action.
with regard 10 the public lands, the
tariff, the Mormon question and all other
Important matters he is heartily in ac-
cord with the great majority Of his party.
Why then is there so much talk Of grow
ing GOODNESS between the President and
leading Democratic Congressman? Why
is the charge made and reiterated that the
President is pursuing an INDEPENDENT
course and practically ignoring his party
friends in Congress- Il 1t not wholly
because the President has declined 10
