He was accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland. Mr..

willing, and shook hands with each of them rs

Mrs Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom had already
entered the vehicle and as the coachman cracked
his whip and the carriage rolled away the people
on the portico, most of whom were ladies, waved
their handkerchiefs and shouted hearty
good bye" The President acknow lodged the
compliment by raising his hat and The ladies'
waved their handkerchitfs from the windows

Hon. r.. HI. M. Davidson.

The State of Florida has cause for con-
graduation because of the wise action of
the Brooksville Convention, in nominal
ing Hon r. II. NJ. Davidson for sixth
term as Representative to Congress from
the First District. AS the Jacksonville
Herald very truly says, there is not in
Washington a finer gentleman or more
effective and popular Congressman than
"Col. Bob. Davidson" lie enjoys the
unqualified respect of large and influ-
entail circle of officials and public men in
Washington. He is vigilant, attentive,
eloquent, prompt and unseltsh, and his
effectiveness is greatly helped by his I'M
spotted character and his charming man
ner He reflects honor and credit on the
State in every circle in which he moves,
and no good thing escapes Florida through
negligence or weakness on his part.
Here's health and warm congratulation
to Colonel Davidson .-NonticeNo Con-

President Cleveland has passed the ordeal
of the first Congress Of his term, with an adverse
majority in the Senate, not only with credit but
with decided eclat His contest with the Senate
on the question of giving reasons for removals,
resulted in decided victory for the man who
has the courage of his convictions.
The exercise of the veto power has been such
as no President heretofore has venured upon.
We have not the figures, but We believe he has
vetoed more bills in one session than ali his pre-
deceSsors since the Inauguration of Washington,
while all efforts TO pass the vetoed bills have
failed. with one solitary exception, in which it
was believed the President was not well in
formed
A. the close of long and arduous session of
Congress, during which the President has done
more hard work than any five members OF Con-
gr-ss, Mr.. Cleveland emerges from the struggle
immensely stronger with his party and with the
people than when he was inauguraied. And yet
he has found time to marry a wife who adds one
hundred per cent. to his already strong hold Oh
the hearts of the people. The reasons for this
are found in the fact that Mr.. Cleveland has de-
veloped great force OF character, blended with
pure patriotism and innate honesty, and withal
a courage and disregard Of personal consequent
almost sublime
1t is safe to say that barring some unexpected
disaster to Mr.. Cleveland's prospects. he is good
for another four years after the close of the pres
ent term The people will take no denial, and
the country cannot afford TO lose his services.

The Prob ibftiOm Candidate.

Rev. Jas. P. DePass, editor of the Florida
Christian Adcucae. does not approve of the nomi-
nation of Judge Norment on the prohibition
ticket He does not see the necessity of such
nomination There is no demand for it, and it
cannot advance the cause of temperance Mr..
DePass is one of the most earnest Temperance
workers in the Stale, and is recognized as a
leader in that cause. But he will not endorse
any movement that will take from il the moral
strength necessary TO success. He says
For our life We cannot see the necessity of a
prohibition candidate for Congress- and there is
simply no reason that there should be one al this
juncture. The Judge and his party will, there
fore, subject themselves TO the criticism OF having
other motives and of d personal character, to
subserve than the good Of the temperance cause
This conclusion is inevitable, for any one can
see that this movement, at this junciure, cannot
be successful, is il in accord with the senti-
ment of a very large majority of the temperance
workers Of the State. Ii occurs to our mind that
the true work OF the temperance people of both
parties in this crisis is, first, to work labOriOusy
for the adoption of the new Constitution and the
nineteenth clause, which is the local option
clause. The prohibition sentiment of the State
is not strong, and in order 10 educate the public
mind in this direction was local option asked for
and advocated before the people When local
option shall have been established and have ac-
complished its work, which is TO educate the
public mind up To prohibition, then it will be
time enough TO express the peoples will by the
election of a prohibiionist to Congress and make
the issue a national one"

The national prison congress to be
held at Atlanta, from the 9th to the 18th
of November, promises, the Constitution
says, to be one of the largest and most in
fuentiai meetings ever held in America.
All the most renowned penologists in the
country will be present, and nine-tenths
of the prison wardens The departments
of state, war and justice of the United
States government will probably be Off
cially represented. The Governors Of
nearly every Southern State will attend
the meeting. An interesting feature Of
the congress will be memorial address
on the late Hon. Horatio Seymour, who
was one Of the founders of the national
prison association, and for many years its
president. The eulogy will be pro-
nounced by Ex-Governor Dorsheimer, of
New York, editor of the New York Star
In connection with the congress will be
an exhibition of prison appliances-locks,
models, Jail plans, and historical objects
connected with the prison development
of this country.

ses for Mr.. Loehr's goods the posse came upon q

guilty of having robbed Mr.. Bethea's bar room,

first denied all knowledge of the the theft. but
on Tuesday, when confronted with undispuiable
evidence OF his guilt, he confessed everything.
He robbed Mr.. Erickson, the Liverpool posi-
Office the school-house. Bethea's bar-room and
lastly Loehr's dwelling. An immense amount
of plumber was discovered 10 the woods near his
house, consisting Of bedding, wearing apparel,
watches, books, firearms. fine telescope. 500

The LeCOnte Pear.

The Thomasville, Ga, Times, of the
l4th, has the following report on this
years crop i'll that vicinity of the fruit in
which Floridians are so largely interested:
The crop for 1886 is about all marketed. Ow
ing to the late spring here this pear was thrown
into direct competition with two or three other
varieties, the Bartlett included, from several of
the Northern and Southern States. This caused
prices 20 rule lower than usual, but, by compar-
son OF price lists it has maintained itself among
the best and most popular Of the old and better

choice Virginia Bartetts it is quoted in New
York little higher than any other pear, North
or South, Maryland, New Jersey and New York
Bartletts included New York handles more
LeCones than any other market, and that this
pear should have so nearly taken the first place
in the esteem of the buyers there, is highly graf
flying to growers, especially in this section,
where it is destined to become the chief product

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-This administration
is going to be notable in history for the number
of new ships which will be built or contract
ed for during its existence. Counting the double
turreted monitor which will be completed,
there will be sixteen or seventeen new ships put
afioat during President Cleveland's adminstra-
ton. OF the entirely new ships only four have
yet been named. One Of the things that Score
tary Whitney has on hand is the choosing OF
names for the five new steel cruisers, the two
armored cruisers, the torpedo boat and the dy
Mantle gun vessel that are 10 be begun Tins year.
There is an old law which provides that what
were entirely called first-rate vessels shall be
named for the States Of the Union and second
class vessels shall be named for cities or rlv-
ers Most of the new vessels will come under
the designation of second class vessels, and il
any further attention is paid 10 this law, which
may not be thought advisable, the navy will
perhaps have the Philadelphia, Baltimore, Gin
cinnati, San Francisco and New Orleans added
to its nomenclature.

The enemy seem to recognize the fact
that opposition to Mr.. Davidson will be
of no avail. They may well believe SO,
and hesitate to victimize another man as
in the elections of ten years past, when
they sent out their champions only to en-
counter defeat at the hands of the re-
doubtable Bob Davidson, who is known
in every nook and corner and "neck of
the woods" of the First District, and
well liked wherever he is known. We
presume that there is no man in Florida
who has more personal friends than Mr..
Davidson-a genial, upright gentleman
whose life was begun and has been spent
among our people, who could not send to
Congress any one that would give more
conscientious and constant attention to
their interests. There have been rumors
that the RAIDS would put an opponent in
the field, but we doubt it, for they know
in advance that his candidacy would only
add laurels to the wreath which has
adorned Col. Bob's brow ever since he
whipped "Slippery Billy" Purman and
redeemed the District from radical sway.
But whether opposed or not, the word is
to fall in, men," and give him bigger
majority than ever--if only to rehuke the
wretched slanderers who have assailed
him as they have other good and able
men
