MR.. G. l.. TABER, of Glen st. Mary,
Fla, has our thanks for a crate OF fine
peaches of the Victoria No. / variety, a
native of his introduction. The peaches
were excellent, and we hope to learn that
they will do well IN South Florida. Mr..
Taber is continually aendeavoring to put
a superior fruit on the market, but care
fully fruits and tests the same on his own
place before sending any out.

IMPORTED oranges are very scarce in
the market now; last week only 5000
boxes were received at all of the principal
ports. Over 100, 900 lunches of bananas,
65 1000 boxes of lemons, AGA, 900 cocoa
nuts and 100000 pine apples were re-
ceived from foreign countries.

Cultivation of Rice.

ly given the matter some thought that
at no distant day the cultivation of rice
in Florida will be one of the leading in
dustries of the State. They claim, and
with no little degree of reason, that rice
will grow and prove a profitable crop
upon the ordinary pine land of the State.
1t is certain that in the pine regions of
lower Mississippi on soil almost exactly
the counterpart of Florida, rice is profit
ably grown.
Still it is to that vast body of land at
present unused and known as fat woods
that they look to for the future supply of
rice. This land is richer than the high
pine land, but the tendency to overflow
causes it to be comparatively worthless
at present. By proper ditching this over
flowing can be prevented to a great ex-
tent, or at least controlled and used to
the advantage of the crop. The rice lands
on the lower Mississippi produce an av-
arage of $75 worth of rice per acre.
Thecultivation is extremely simple. The
ground is well plowed and prepared by
bitches and embankmentsf for inundation
The rice is sown in the early spring, and
Immediately after sowing the water is let
on so as to barely overflow the ground
and allowed to remain three Or four days,
or until the grain begins to swell. When
it has gained height of three or four
inches the water is again turned on, and
only the top of the stalk left above the
water. About two weeks previous to har-
vest the water is drawn off, so as to let
the ground get in a condition for the
reapers. The only labor or cultivation
required after sowing is to see that the
rice is properly irrigated.
With upland rice, however, the cultiva-
tiOn required is more extensive. We do
not think the low land cultivation would
succeed on our fat woods, for although
the water is abundant at some seasons,
there is none at others, and even when it
is to be had it cannot be controlled, con-
sequently the upland plan must beresort-
ed to.
The primitive method of cultivating it
in the pine barrens of Mississippiis to run
shovel plow through the woods, where
not single tree has been cut. Into these
furl ows, which are only two or three
inches deep and three feet apart, the rice
is dropped and covered with harrow.
The space between the burrows is not mo-
Tested until the rice is four or five inches
high. One or two plowings is all it gets,
and the yield is very satisfactory.
Certainly if the rice can be made to
yield paying cropso these poor pine bar
rens, and with this crude cultivation, it
would prove most satisfactory on our fer
tile fat woods.
Rice growing is by no means unknown
in Florida. In Putnam, Polk, Manatee,
Lake and Other counties good crops are
grown on ordinary pine land. Whether
or not it has ever been tried on the fiat
woods we are unable to say. If any of
our readers have tried it we would be
pleased to hear from them.

repOse serenely in the lap Of luxury
and case. The Legislation under
which these conditions have been
born and dnutured is che work Of tho
old parties, and yet woare told that
II is q violation Of our principles to de-
part from them. III this BetTue, then
our principles need revision.
Bro True lays great stress upon
tho fact that we were assured that tho
Alliance would not attempt to inter-
fere with our religious and political
rights and privileges. This is true,
and never more so than at atthepresent
time But while it does not propose
TO interfere with those
rights it does propose
TO educate it's members ont Of their
partisanship, instruct them in the
principles Of higher and nobIcr and
purer politics, and possibly a mors
liberal roligeon.
The Brother has not read anything
from any Of the authorities in the
Alliance iavoring new party; hence
he concludes, hastily, we think, that
itwould be wrong on this account.
Every locality is likely be governed
by prevailing conditions and existing
necessities, and il may require more
time, and a longer endurance Of tho
policy Of the old pufties to convince
the entire membership of the neccs-
sity Of independent action. The SEN
timent is rapidly growing in that di-
rcction however, in all parts OF the
country, both north and south, as we
could show il we had space to quote
from the Alliance press. We happen
to know that in several counties OF
our own State this new departure has
been taken. In Cowley county the
Alliance delegates went into the re-.
publican convention, and attempted
to secure recognition Of their rights
by the representatives Of tlpat party.
They were promptly squeIched, So
promptly, in fact That an insurrection'
was imminent and was only ayerted
by prompt action Of leading and in
Auential men. AS our information OF
this affair is from private sources we
are not at liberty to give it in detail
at this time, but the members OF the
Alliance in Cowley county have n tick
ct and it was not put in nomination
by eithero of ''thO old parties" It
seems that fsuoh action 'isa violation
| OF a fundamental principle OF our
Order' as Bro. True states, then our
members in Cowley county, including
our worthy and most esteemed State
President, are subjecttO discipline for
such violation. The same is true in

OF their honest opinions, we cheerfully
give place TO the communication OF
Bro j. +. True upon the above sub
ect. II bis reasoning is sound, and
will stand the test, then must his con-
clusions prevail. IL however, his pre-
misses are unsound or his reasoning
illogical he cannot expect his conclu-
sions to be accepted. Let us examine
his article, and see Of what material il
is composed.
We are willing to grant Bro. True
the full force Of his objection by adj
hitting for the sake OF argument, that
the contemplated movement would
ultimately result in the Development
of a full Aedgod new party. He then
declares that 1T is a violation Of one
OF the Cardinal principles Of our Or
d9r;" and he quotes the first declara-
ton as the one that would be thus
violated: Tint we have resolved ito
labor for tho education Of tho Agri-
cultural Classes in Che science Of eco
nomical government, in astrictly non
partisan spirit" BY what rule OF in
terpretation this resolution can bo
made to conflict with the organization
Of a new party il not clear, and Bro
True makes no attempt TO make il 80.
He simply takes it for granted and
asks every one to accept his decision
without question. We believe the re-
verse Of this to be true and we do not
ask any one to accept our opinion un-
less we can prove it.
Toward the close Of his article Bro.
True strongly urges the policy Of dd-
herance to old parties and the promo
ton Of Alliance principles through.
them. He says if we do this they
"will have but honeyed words for u.s."
We would suggest that this is all they
have had for us during the pasttwenty-
five years, until the agricultural and
laboring classes have had a surfeit Of
honeyed words and now desire a
change Of diet. TaRy is cheap even
at trust prices, but il makes poor diet
il not accompanied by other and
more essential elements Of nutrition.
If we were To- ask Bro. True through
which one Of the old parties he would
propose TO accomplish tho purposes
of the Alliance, being republican he
would undoubtedly answer that it
should be done through that party.
Were wo to ask some Of our demo-
cratic members of the Alliance The
same question, they ouldundoubted-
ly answer, through the democratic
party. We very much doubt if Bro.
True, with all his we'll known liberality
could be made torepose suficientco con-
tidence in The democratic party, by
any pledges it might make, to induce
HIM to vote the democratic ticket, and
if this be true how much less could,

this the method "to educate tho agri-
cultural classes In strictly non-par-
tisan spiritp II would seem rather
like educating them in a strictly par
tisan spirit.
What arc we to under
stand by the "education of tine Ugri-
cultural classes, in the science Of eco
nomical government, m astrictly non
partisan spiritT7 Let as aualyzo this
proportion and see il we cannot settle
this dispute as TO It's meaning. What
is government 1t may be defined, in
brief as the administration OF public
affairs, according to established con
stitutions laws, and usages," for the
protection Of individual rights and the
restraint of wrong doing. Econ0mt-
cal government then would imply
such administration Of public affairs
for the purposes in view, in m eco
nomcal manner, or without unneces-
sary or extravagant expense Sci
ence is defined as "knowlodge, or GER
tain knowledge; the comprehension
or understanding OF truth or facts by
the mind" Hence when we resolve
TO educate tho agricultural classes, in
the science Of economical government
we resolve to educate them to a
knowledge, q comprehension, an in
telligent understanding Of the moth
cd Of administering public affairs for
the promotion Of individual rights
and the restraint Of wrong doing
without unnecessary expense; and in
doing this in a strictly non-partisnn
spirit, we are TO educOte them to ig-
more party, to rise above it, TO advance
to a higher and nobler plane Of life
than that upon which the foundations
Of parties rest. We must learn to
forget our partisanship, and remem-
ber only that we are citizens OF a
common country with common inter
ests, common purpose andacommop
destiny. The old parties have been
tried in the years that are past and
found wanting. They have made
pledges during every political cam
paign, only to be broken after cleo
tion. The circulating medium has
been contracted until it is insufficient
for the business of the country. SEN
ator Plumb in his place in Che U. S.
Senate March 27, 1883, said, 'that
during the last three years preceding
that date, the volume Of the money OF
the country has been contracted five
per cent, which contraction, he stated,
had reduced the cash value Of prop
erty in this country three billions OF
dollars" an amount greater than the
National debt at the close Of the war.
This contraction of curTencyis in pur-
suanco of a preconceived purpose, as
announcedin in the infamous Hazard
Circular, and the scheme has heen
abeted and faithfully sustained by
necessary Legislation by these old

How eagerly any statement to the
detriment of Southern California is seized
upon by the hostile press OF the East
The Columbus, Ohio, Sunday Morning
Press of June 30th says: "Los Angeles
county, California, is said to owe $40 for
every person in it," Who says SO? The
total amount of mortgages in this city, as
shown by the Assessors books. is only
about S. 900, 900. This is only eleven per
cent, of the assessed value, and much
less than that ratio, OF the real value Of
our property. 1t is not $40 for each per-
son in it. The Ohio paper says $40 for
"every" person in it. 1t is more
than that. 1t is $5,00O,O00 for
"every" person. 1t is Sc or 81
for each person in the city. All
the city banks, with So, ,550,000 of de-
posits-not counting other assets, and
with over $5, 900 900 in cash on hand
have only little more than $4,000, 900
out on loans. If the whole county were
taken in this purview, it's debts would
not come to "a for each inhabitant. That
is one. tenth of the Prsss's figures. The

TREASURY NOTES.
No Appropriation for Carrying Out
Laws In Alaska,

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Tne Secretary
OF the Treasury has received a letter
from the Collector OF Customs at Sitka
Alaska, in regard to the salmon fisheries
OF that Territory, in which he suggests
that inasmuch as there are over 40 fish.
ing and canning corporations actively
engaged in catching and preparing sal.
mon, distributed over large area, that
he be authorized to visit such portions Of
the Territory to see that the laws for the
protection of these fisheries are properly
enforced.
He has been informed that his request
cannot be granted because of the lack of an
appropriation, out of which his expenses
would be paid. 1t seems that while Con.
gress passed the act for the protection OF
the salmon fisheries of Alaska and to
prevent the unauthorized killing of fur
bearing animals in Alaskan waters, it
made no appropriation for carrying out
such object.
The Treasurer has ordered tha. in The
future the redemption of legal tender
notes by the Treasury Department shall
be made on the basis of the three fifths
rule in vogue in the redemption of Ma.
tional Bank notes.
