A Choice Winter Resort.
Farrn. Field and stockman.


We know of no place where there are
combined more advantages for a winter
home than on the Halifax River, on the
east coast of Florida. For even stay
of few weeks to avoid the chilly blasts
of February and March, 1t is not too far
away. There are two attractive places
on the Halifax-Ormond and Daytona.
They are now both accessible by railway
from Palatka, on the st. Johns. They
would have been famous long ago had it
not been for the difficulty of reaching
them in time past. Last year the rail-
read was completed. Now news comes
of the finishing of bridge $500 feet
across the Halifax at Ormond and of a
horse car running to the ocean beach.
This is about mile distant
Another item of news is that ssThe
Ormond''-a grand new hotel-has been
completed by the enterprise of two of
the public spirited citizens, Messrs. An
derson and Price This hotel is located
near the bridge. A dispatch says lit is a
large and elegantly appointed hotel of
100 rooms, and is one of the most at
tractive in FiorIda-posSessing features
unlike any other in the State. The hotel
is supplied on every floor with artesian
water. gas and electric bells. DIR.
Churchill, of Churchill Hall. of Siam
ford, N. Y, has just opened the house,
with table and service worthy of the
place. From the tower and observatory
a magnificent view is obtained of the
Halifax River on one hand and the ocean
on the other.
The fact that Ormond has some of the
finest orange groves IN Florida, may not
seem conclusive reason why it should
be the best place for winter resort.
But there Is something not altogether IL
logical, at second thought. in connecting
your winter home with region where
orange trees flourish. GU are certain
that old Boreas is not holding high cal
nival there. You are likely to find
balmy climate. singing birds, blooming
flowers and thrifty growing trees in mid
winter. THIS is something to one who
is Ion gIng to escape from frozen fogs and
snowy blasts. mails INSTRUCTED by the
storms and temperature ranging from
twenty above to twenty below zero, on
an average for month or two.
But Ormond-on-the-H Halifax has pecu-
liar attractions of its own beyond what
is common to Florida The broad.
placid river, bordered often with pal
mettos, is a pleasing feature in the view.
In its waters fine edible FISH abound, ard
t. those who are fond of the spoe
there are few better opportunities f r
fishing. The Halifax is beautifully
adapted to boating. 1t is SO land-locked
and sheltered that both row boats and
sail boats may be seen at almost any
hour of any day. The young ladies do
not even need to wait for escorts in this
healthful pastime. One may see young
lady sailing her own yacht, coming in on
fresh breeze from neighboring win
ter home.
Now there is well conducted mail
service from the st. Johns River, and
one of the best hotels in the South, Wis
itors from the North will certainly make
their plans to visit Ormond, and once
there, We boldly predict they will not
make haste to get away.

.JUNE FIFTH

The choice OF June as the date for
the Democratic National Convention
this year is generally accepted by the
Democratic press of the country as indi-
eating that the party win adopt a conf
dent and aggressive policy this year.
The change from July to June is
probably still more indicative of tri-
un1ph of the Cleveland policy. in the
Democratic National Committee. Is it
to be campaign of argument? Then
time must be allowed for the discus
sion of the Presidents tariff message.
The party can have no more
distinctive platform on which to
base its struggle for supremacy than
Tariff Reform. The administration has
instituted many reforms, but the domi-
nant idea in the minds of the people is
that the party is more fully committed
to a reform of the tariff by the Presidents
message than it has been by its plat
forms. The platforms lack that pre-
cision of language that we find in the
message. The message abounds in ar
gument and illustration that cannot be
introduced into party platform.
Take tariff reform out of the coming
campaign and there is little left. The
first four years of Democratic admins
tration have done the country much
good in curbing the power of monopoly
and restoring to the people property
which belongs to it. Most of what has
been done is preparatory, to be carried
out by future administrations to full
fruition. But the question of tariff re-
form which both parties seemed anxious
to avoid has been brought forward by
the President as a sharply defined issue
The Democratic party could not escape
from it now if it would. The discussion
of the tariff is in every ones mouth
President Cleveland has committed his
party to it. The nomination of any one
else than Cleveland at St. Louis next
June would mean the reputation, no
only of the tariff message but of all the
distinctive acts of the first Democratic
administration this country has seen. 1t
would amount to Standardization on
the part of the Democrats.
A campaign of argument requires
time. But in our days Presidential
campaign means merely summing up.
emphatically SO this year. This admin
istration has been watched more closely
than any other for years. Do what the
Republicans may they can not avoid
discussion of the tariff The people
have been educated too far to listen to
the old trash about Protection. There
must be solid argument and it will be
difficult to buttress the overweening
wall of protective tariff by substantial
arguments.
The Democratic nomination will be
the first made this year and the Demo-
cratic platform win be the first brought
before the people The Republicans need
time-they have no man among them SO
prominent that anyone can say this is
the most probable candidate" Their
policy will be principally one of defense.
The platform of either party might be
sketched now, in its main features
