Editor Palat ka News:
Pardon me, but | feel that l would be
withholding well-deserved commenda-
ton, if | should neglect to say to
you that the Daily NerS has, in my opin-
ion. steadily and very greatly improved
during some months past, SO that it is
now an excellent local newspaper.
Stir up your editorial writers to heed
the advice of Hon. z. =. Bishop. in his
letter from Asheville, and do a great
deal of preaching" on the subject of di-
versified industries for Florida. To be
sure, we have come out of the freeze
splendidly, and probably there will be
fully two-thirds as large crop of or
anges in our State the coming season as
there would have Deen had Jack Frost
left us alone, but the prosperity of our
whole State will he but subserved by as

The Whisky Men Stirring.

The telegraph brings the information
that, in response to suggestion in the
IIiHe and Spirits Rerie'r, of Louisville,
call from Chicago, Louisville,
st. Louis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, New
York, Boston, and other points, has been
issued for national convention of dis
tillers, brewers and wholesale and retail
wine, spirit and beer dealers. to be held
in Chicago, Monday, October 18th. The
call says the convention is necessary to
take some action TO repel accusations
and check the growth of a public senti-
ment hostile 10 the rights and business
of the whisky trade. 1t says this senti-
ment is no longer to be ignored, and the
convention is therefore called.

English Campaigning VS.. American.
I oh O.,

EngiIsh Campaigning VS.. American.
Henry Labourchere's cable letter to
the New York World, says:
although Home Secretary Matthews
stated that the question put to him with
regard to the contemplated intention of
MIR. Chamberlain to be accompanied by
a policeman during his visit to the Con-
tinent did not quite correctly set forth
the facts, it is nevertheless true. Mr..
Chamberlain did apply to the chief of
police at Birmingham for constable to
protect him during his trip abroad. 1t
Is to be presumed that this constable will
form a portion of his retinue. Against
whom the policeman is to protect him is
not quite clear. l suppose he will be
merely a sort of official courier, whose
presence will be a recognition of Mr..
Chamberlain state and dignity as Lord
of BirmnS ham. / am curious, how
ever, to know whether ali the UnionIsts
when abroad are to be guarded by po-
licemen. The whole thing looks to me
very much like those sort of pretended
conspiracies which potentates are so
fond of arranging as advertisements of
their Importance. When the Gar is on
his travels numberiess police agents
watch over HIM; so, too, when Mr..
Chamberlain leaves his faithful king
dom he must, in humble imitation of the
Russian autocrat, have at least one POI
liceman with him."
Its different in this country. Mr..
Dougherty. for instance. don't take
special police around with him, because
he don't need one. Charlie is fully able
to protect himself. and if he isn't, his
friends are.
Now, if Palatka will turn out first
class Dougherty campaign club, we sug
gest that every man shall have a special
peliSSe of the latest style. This is what
we want for Charlie-a good line of spe-
cial pelisse- men to welcome him on Satur-
day, October 9th.
