The FLORIDA Southegn Railway Com
pany have decided to erect . hoist-so
that the company can handle through
freight. 1t Is to be located near the
grounds Of Blain Brothers car works.
Mr.. E. F. Cunning, of the engineer
corps, left yesterday for Gainesville to
take the measurement Of the hoist At
that point, and it is very probable that
machinery similar to that will be or
dered. This will enable the Florida
Southern to handle through freight from
the Jacksonville Tampa and Key West
Railway without breaking bulk.

Cleveland's many acts of statesman
ship and what he has done for the
people or the cause of good govern
ment
Has it ever said word about his
veto of the infamous River and Har-
Dor bill-about his veto of the De
pendent Pension bill which, if he had
sanctioned would have emptied the
Treasury into Northern pockets
about his fearless enforcement of the
Civil Service laws-about his recog-
nizing the Southern people as equal to
those of.other sections of the country
and his appointment of Southern men
to the highest office, something the
Republicans never did-about his
honest administration of public affairs
about his policy of reclaiming mil
lions of acres of lands given by Re-
publicans to railroads and other cor
porations? Has the Reporter in the
last few years said anything at all in
favor of the Democratic party?
If the Reporter Post would be as
diligent in telling what the Democrats
have done as it is in alleging what
they have not done, and would discuss
Republican tactics and methods even
once in decade, it would be in better
repute with the Democrats and less
in favor with the Republicans. Be
fore newspaper assumes to dictate
party policy and to censure the party
generally, its own Democracy should
not rest under general suspicion.

THE Mississippi river underfows
as we'll as overfiows its banks and
lowlands. Water in wells dug in the
swamps rises and falls with the river
and in such wells, many miles from
the river, but in its lowlands, catfish
from the river have appeared as soon
as light descended to the under
ground river currents. Steam mill
owners, in the broad swamps, must
sink wells to the plane Of the rivers
bottom, or, when the river is low,
the wells Ego dry" There is, there
fore, share of folly in building mud
walls along the rivers edge to pre-
vent "overflows.." When the river
undermines the country, shores and
levees often disappear together, and
the river carves out for itself Il new
channel and waterway to the sea.

| advise the practice of fall prun-
ing for grape vines over that of spring
pruning. ] do this because in the
fall the ground is hard and firm, and
as grape vines are often part of the
garden fruitage, it is more desirable
to stand upon dry, firm soil while
pruning than on wet one, as is often
the case in the spring. Then, too,
the weather is more propitious. In
the spring the weather is frequently
so unfavorable, even until quite late,
that outdoor work is always delayed.
The cutting winds of March are far
more severe than the temperature of
September, and one not accustomed
to great exposure frequently breads
to perform this labor at a season as
early as necessary. The weather,
however, would furnish but shallow
reason were it the only one, but it is
not. My vines have done better the
next season after fall pruning, and
have borne more grapes than when
pruned in the spring, and this fact is
worth more than thousand theories
and opinions. / am not aware that
any exact experiments have been
made to test the point in my own
practice the difference is sufficiently
marked to warrant my adhesion to
fall pruning, but if tie product of the
vines is no greater the advantages are
still with fall pruning.

THE Banner has discovered a later
law than the one under which Secre-
tary Allison presumes to hold the au
thority to withhold his signature to
the certificate of election of MIR.
Evans. The Banner cites law en-
acted since the one referred to which
requires tho sheriffs of the counties
IN congressional district to send
duplicate returns to the governor and
requires the governor alone to COM
pare the returns and issue certiti-
cate and deliver it to the candidate
receiving the highest number of votes
in the district, is later law than the
unsatisfactory law providing for a
joint comparison Of votes by the gov
ernor and secretary of state. The
Banner says the law which places
the whole matter in the gov
ernor's hands was inadvertently left
out of the code of 1851, but was re-
enacted in 1873 when the new ar
rangement of congressional districts
was made. This law which has been
compiled in Miliken & Vertrees'
code, stands on the status book as a
later law that under which the secre-
tary claims to act as member of the
board of inspectors to pass upon con-
gressional elections.
