Senator d. M. Sabin, of Minnesota.

Senator d. NJ. Sabin, of Minnesota,
had his wife confined in an asylum for
inebrates in the East, and at once ap-
piled for divorce. The friends of the
family claim that Mrs. Sabn is not
drunkard, and that she is confined against
her will, and are very indignant over the
matter. The people of Minnesota are
greatly exercised about it, and the mill
lonalre Senator's popularity is decreasing.

SWAMP LAND SELECTIONS.

To the Editor of the FLoRIDIAN
have read with care and interest your articles
on Swamp Land Selections They contain
much valuable information, and should be stud
ed by everyone interested in the State There
is one point however, that | desire to be more
fully informed upon.
You state that all the swamp land selected
under the swamp act of September %, 1850,
which had been selected up to March 3D., 1857,
was confirmed by Congressional enactment OF
that date. AS there was selected up to this lat
ter date nearly twelve million acres, that fact
readily accounts for the State having high and
dry land under the swamp act. Now, the ques-
ton desire to ask is this: Is it conceded by all
parties that the act of 1857 confirmed to the
State all lands selected up to that time? Does
Senator Call assent to that proposition?
If that is certain, then the State having dry
lands under the swamp act, is fully accounted
for, and the cry of fraud in selections occasoned
by possession, vanishes, and leaves nothing for
those who make the charge to stand upon.
Yours truly,
READER.
We assure our esteemed correspondent
that there are no doubts whatever as to
the act of 1857 confirming to the State
all lands selected up to that period. All
Departments of the Government recOg-
nlze that as fully settled fact. We
could give extracts from the law, the
opinions Of various Secretaries Of the In
terror, and the statement Of the United
States Senate Committee on Public Lands,
If desired. AS to Senator Calls position
on that question, we have stated that
even he conceded that as settled fact.
OF course we possessed the evidence Of
that fact, or the statement would not
have been made. In the evidence of
Senator Call before the Committee on
Public Lands, Of the United States Sen
ate, we find the following conclusive tcs-
timony:
Senator Berry, want TO know Mr.. Call, if
YOU claim that any selections made prior to the
act OF 1891 can he now canccllcd>

A SENSIBLE COLORED MAN

T. Thomas Fortune, one of the most
prominent, fair-minded and sensible col
orcd men in the United States, well known
in Florida, in an article in a recent num-
Der of the New York Sun, says, over his
signature:
1t is now neary ten years ago since | first
directed attention to the tendency of the Repub
can party TO unload the cOorcd contingent
got roundly abused on all hands as a traitor for
my pains. But | stuck to my position. 1t is
now some two years since Mr. Frederick Dou-
glass proclaimed, with the solemnity of sage
and the falibility Of a prophet, that "the Repub
ican party is the ship, all else is the ocean" as
relates to the cOlorcd citizen. Well cOlored
Republicans are in the soup for certain, and Mr.
Douglass Is the largest among the swarms kick
ing and screaming up the sides of the slippery
tureen. President Harrison has done more in
three m onths to liberaliZe the political opinions
OF colored citizens than could have been accom-
pllshed in a decade of talk. He is absO
lutely devoid of diplomacy. He is blunt
to rudeness and as tenacious as mastif
when once he has made Up his mind to given
course. He has insulted every cOlored delega-
ton which has called upon him since he sue
ceeded President Cleveland. He is a Southern
man in temper and education, and reigiously
believes that the negrOs proper place is that of
an underling, and he has shown this on all con-
venent occasions to be the case. A splendid
situation is developing for the Democratic party
Will 1t take advantage OF it? Not if the tactics
of the National Democratic Committee of 1888
are to be practised in the next conflict. Broader
craftsmanship, more cOnsummate political man
agement, and more cordial acceptance of the
cooperation of reputable colored men will have
to prevail, than characterized the management of
the last campaign, il the party is TO reap the full
advantage OF the Republican enemy's plumbers.

FLORIDA FARMERS ALLIANCE.

Jacksonville to be the Great Market IOWh.
Senator r. F. Rogers, President of the
Florida State Alliance, was in Tallahas-
see again few days since and as usual
dropped into the FLoRIDlAN sanctum for
social chat The Senator is now de-
voting his entire time and energies to
booming the interests of the Florida
Farmers Alliance, and is accomplishing
wonderful results for them, for his soul is
in the work and few men can listen to
him talk and not grow enthusiastic them
selves
The Florida Alliance has grown to be
mountain in strength, controlling the
major portion of all the crops grown in
the State, and they propose establishing
an immense warehouse in Jacksonville
for the storing of cotton, tobacco, ETC.,
thus giving Florida a great market Of
her own, for with the cotton crop
Of the State concentrated at
Jacksonville the great buyers of the
world would come in and establish offices
there, and eventually cotton factories and
varions otber manufactories would snr;na
up, making Jacksonville, indeed, the great
Metropolis of Florida
Senator Rooors.inf forms tho E,op,n,
that the moneyed men Of Jacksonville are
fully alive to the benefits that will ac-

warehouse. and they have offered to adj

crowded and Summer-shaded, when it is best
cut entirely away, as all the buds finally left
should have room of at least six inches before
meeting the foliage of any other branch, even
on a currant or gooseberTy bush. Any Mid
winter day suits for this necessary work.
An excellent way TO utilize dull days, when
but little work can be done, especially during
cold or rainy weather. is to sharpen all the tools
and implements, so as to have them ready for
Spring use. Give them thorough cleaning, oil
the machinery and keep them in dry place.
The silo has brought new revelations to us
and given US a value in fodder-corn that we
never had before, at least it has called our
attention to it in a way that we have never
had it called before so that we now have
begun to make study of fodder-corn and
what it may do for us in the way of giving us
cheaper and batter rations for cattle.
An exchange says that if the cow, while
bearing calf, is fed we'll the calf will inherit a
tendency to convert food into milk or in other
words to give more milk. We confess that we
are unable to see how feeding the COW beyond
keeping her in proper condition can do anything
for the calf. If it is meant that the cow should
be fed high, it is nonsense.
"A heifer becomes a cow after she drops her
first calf and begins giving milk-no matter at
what age, and the distinction is accepted gen.
orally that she remains beifer until maternal
obligations are assumed. This seems to be the
only satisfactory classification that can be made
to avoid confusion to and establish an intelligent
understanding.
