FLORIDA HAS NOTHING no

Florida IS the coming state and you

season demonstrated its superiority TO
California as winter resort. The tide
of travel has turned towards Florida and
California is stranded. Year after year
it has demonstrated that it is, and must
be forever, the great market garden of
this country, the source of its oranges,
lemons, pinespples, bananas, and all trOp
ical fruits. These two points alone would
make Florida rich, for as the population
of the country grows every foot of land
in our tropical peninsula will be called in
to requisition.
But Florida has of late presented more
serious claims of consideration than these.
She is rapidly becoming one of the best
agricultural states in the union, and is
backing her fine and profitable gardens
and groves with fields, plantations and
stock farms The agricultural statistics
of the state are simply astounding to
those who have believed that it was moth
ing but great garden and grove. Wise
investors are rapidly turning to Florida
Almost every large tract OF land has
been bought, and immigration companies
are pouring Ne" settiers luCo Ine ctaIe
Mr. Flagler, who has spent five million
dollars in hotels and Improvements at
ST. Augustine within the past two years,
has now purchased the Rockledge prop

Augustine down the Indian River to

hotel there. This is but an indication of
the tendency to rush to Florida next fall

A correspondent of the Florida Agri-
cult,lrist advocates pecan culture, saying
that though it takes some time for Pc
can tree to come into bearing, it is per-
manent and profitable investment. Twen-
ty-seven trees should be planted to the
acre. If nuts are planted instead of trees,
plant three nuts to each place. All cul-
tivation required is simply to keep down
the weeds and grass and to destroy the
nests of the caterpillar. Almost any ma
nure may be used as dressing, and fruit
trees may be planted between the pecan
trees. Cultivation he says is not abso-
lutely necessary.

Special Despatch to the cincinnsti Enquirer)
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, June 30, 'ss.-Yes-
terday and to-day abundant evidence has
cropped out here that many of the South
ern delegates to the recent Chicago Con
vention made nice thing of it. Y,ster-
day one of the most prominent colored
delegates from this State was going round
town feeling pretty show come you 81"
and, as he freely declared, spending his
little Doodle money"
He went into q book store and pur-
chased fifty cents worth of writing paper.
He reached into his pantaloons pocket and
drew forth a roll, handed the clerk ten
dollar bill, and, with knowing wink, re-
marked soto coce, "This pocket contains
Alger's money, and that ten is the small
est change have"
Hon. VIM. YoungbloOd, member of the
National Executive Committee, and re
siding here, is authority for the statement
thatAlger and his men purchased the votes
of fifty southern delegates that went to the
Convention with Sherman as their fixed
choice. He says the price was 800
in cash, all expenses in Chicago and their
expense both ways
Alger's Doodle was ample and flowed
very freely. The result was the Southern
delegates, or at least fifty of them, have
come home flush with greenbacks. Sher-
man should have YouDgblood summoned

CALLED To, ORDER.

Precisely at twenty-five minutes to
eleven Chairman Russell called the Con-
venton to order There were then
about eight hundred and fifty delegates
in attendance, though the galleries were,
like yesterday, well packed. The report
of the Committee on Credentials was
called for. Their chairman stated that
the committee had agreed to report sim
ply the number Of clubs sent by each
State. The report was accepted without
a division and that of the Committee on
Permanent Organization was next called
for. L. r. Cofron, of West Virginia, the
chairman, announced the selection Of
John Winans, of Wisconsin, as perma-
nent chairman, and before he could read
further the Convention again broke loose
and sent up mighty cheers for the next
Governor Of Wisconsin" This was fol
lowed with three cheers for the State of
New Jersey, from which be halls, and
three more for the State of Wisconsin

THE NArro} AL LEAGUE OF
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS MAR.
SH ALLIED FOR VICTORY

Special to the y. Y Herald.)
BALTIMORE, Nd, July 5, l88s.-The
hot and sticky weather to-day was not
conductive to the comfort of the dele
gates to the National league of Demo
cratic Clubs Consequently when the
hour OF ten arrived, which was the time
named for the opening, there were not
more than one hundred and fifty delegates
IN the hall. Quite a number were near
at hand, but they were in no hurry to
be packed as on yesterday.
LOTS OF ENTHUSIASM.
When it became known that Mr..
John Winans had been selected perma-
nent chairman the JOY of the Wisconsin
people knew no bounds They were
filled with delight and enthusiasm. DR..
L. ;. Mayham, chairman of the delega-
ton, and &. c. Mclean, leading Dem
ocrat of the West, said the democrats of
the West proposed to run Mr.. Winans
for Governor Of that State this fall and to
elect him too.
1t was half-past ten O'Clock before the
delegates began to come in in any num-
bers. The big guns came in all of heap,
and the band In the sky gallery noised
forth in deafening notes its welcome to
the great chiefs of the democracy. These
were Senators Beck, of kentucky; Call,
Of Florida; Faulkner and Kenna, of
West Virginia Congressman Breckin-
ridge, Of kentucky; Scott, of Pennsyl-
vania; Wilson, Of West Virginia; Town
shend and Springer, of Illinois, and others.
Just before the chairman's gavel fell the
rotund form of John X. Fellows, New
York's popular District Attorney, hove
in sight. He entered the proscenium
box directly over the portraits of Cleve-
land and Thurman, as he thought, unob-
served. Several of the delegates, how
ever, caught sight of him and sent up a
cheer that was taken up by the Conven-
tion and galleries and made the roof
shake Colonel Fellows acknowledged
the compliment with bow and resumed
his seat.

THE CHAIRMAN's ADDRESS.

When quiet was restored the permanent
chairman, who had been escorted to the
platform by Mesers Cofron, of West Vir-
ginia, Sidney Clarke, of Kansas, and J.
V. Tuttle, of Wisconsin, addressed the
Convention He said =" In behalf of
the democracy of the great West, where
cheaper necessaries of life are preferred
to free intoxicants, | congratulate you
upon the results Of the national Conven-
tion held at St Louis and the favorable
political outlook Great applause, in
which the galleries joined) The speaker
then referred to the appropriate time Sc
lected for organization and the lessons
that had been inculcated by Jefferson,
Monroe and Jackson, and which now must
bear fruit, and continued =" "Within the
past few years another great luminary
has arisen in the East. At first it was
only discernible above the horizon, but it
has ascended and ascended until now,
like the star that guided the wise men to
the manger at Bethlehem, it has become
the bright particular and political star
in the constitution that is lighting the
pathway Of all who desire economy in
taxation and expenditures, who have tired
of republican misrule and extravaganza,
who respect the rights of labor and its
just demands, who oppose the importa-
tion of pauper labor, who desire cheaper
lumber, fuel, clothing and other necessa-
ries of life, and are not willing to sur
render these to free whisky and tobacco :;
the friend Of the laborer, the friend of the
honest soldier, with convictions and the
courage to voice them the restorer of
government that had drifted from its
moorings back to the teachings and doc
trines of its founders. The general ac-
claim is, All hail, Grover Cleveland, Pres
divine grace, will be reelected in Novem-
Der next for a second term"
During the address every point was ap-
preciated, and when it came to "All hail,
Grover Cleveland" and The grand old
Roman, Allen G. Thurman" the air was
rent with yells, hats and bandannas were
waved on canes and umbrellas and ban
ner stats tossed wildly in the air.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
It was some time before the Conven-
ton Quilted down sufficiently to hear the
resolutions as presented by J. F. Geth-
right, chairman of the committee. These
were short and to the point, as follows

The Memphis Ledger insists that
the mound builders and modern
red men are idential. When we
and others have asked oldest In
dians, like Pitchelyn the venerable
Choctaw cheiftain, about it, his an
swer was. as Of all other red men,
"Indians never tOiled. We never
buried our dead in mounds. We
never made that pottery. We
know nothing Of that origin or pur-
pose or builders of these mounds.
Our traditions tell us nothing of
them"
"How old are they ?" and Pitch.

Washington. answered, 1--WE know
nothing and have no traditions
falling us of these strange mounds
that exist only In the valleys of
creek aud rivers, while my race
peopled the hills and valley and
uplands as we'll"
How very, very old are these
mounds may be inferred from the
fact that those in Asia and Europe
were built long anterior to the
opening of the first pages of the
worlds written history. We are
told by Xenophon that the 10000
Greek mercenaries, at the termin.
alton of the of the "Enteuthen Ex-
! elaunei," built a mound 10 mark
I The end of their Asian wanderlngs
and celebrate their JOY when they
beheld the Mediterranean. There
are mounds near Nineyeh alleged
by scientist to be older than This
mighty capital of the Orient. The
Bible often tells of "high places"
as distinguished from hills and
mountains to which The apostatized
Jews resorted for the worship of
heathen deities.
The Mississippi ended at Baton
Rouge wheh the last mound was
built in its valley. How long has
the river been employed in argu-
ment its length from that point
to Its present mouth? The mound
nearest the Gulf coast is more than
5000 years, old if old DIR. Cart
wright estimated with any proxi-
mate degree of accuracy the rate
of progress of the land into the Gulf
of Mexico.
1t The Ledger will investigate
the facts 1t will find that Yazoo
Pass, along which mounds are
erected at regular intervals, was
an artificial waterway carved out
By skillful engineers 10 divert the
superabundant floods of the
greater river and prevents over
flows. Other such transverse
bitches 10 lateral streams, at some
remote period in the worlds his
tory, connected the Mississippi
with its western lateral tributaries
and Red river with the Sabine.
There are 1000 miles in length of
artificial connected the Mississippi
with The YaZoo.
Let us inform our didactic and
oracular contemporary that these
are only suggestions of countless
facts showing that our red men
were incapable of executing tasks
OF mound bnilders even if they had
ever toiled for any purpose. In
fact there are strong reasons for
The assertion often made that the
of this continent are older
than those Of Asia or Europe, and
that mounds were reared in the
lowlands of the Mississippi before
pyramids were unheaved IN Egypt
and by the hands OF the same race
that achieved these wondrous
tasks on the banks of the dreamful
Nile.
