On another page we publish let
ter from Hon. Martin Ryan, Secretary
Of the North Dakota Democratic
State Committee, to Governor Elem
ing, detailing the vile ISLANDERS ut
tered against the people of Florida
by Fred. 5. Goodrich, and also Gov
ernor Fleming's prompt and manly
denial Of all of Goodrich's falsehoods.
Goodrich falsely asserted, in his
speech at Fargo, N. d., on the 18th
OF September, that he never dared
address public meeting in Florida
without shotgun by his side and
two revolvers in his hip pocket"
If the shotgun were necessity
to Republican campaigners in
Florida, Goodrich would never
make any speeches here. He
might carry two revolvers in his
hip pockets, but nobody would ever
see them, unless they got sight OF
them as his coat tail Strengthened out
behind him fleeing from the danger
point, if he should ever reach that
point. If, as Goodrich further false
ly asserts, the Florida "hellions" as
sinate any man who actively sup
ports the Republican party, now did
he escape? He, being the Republic
can candidate tor Congress in the
Second District, certainly mus. have
actively supported the Repu blican
party Again, if the hundredth part
of what Goodrich says be true-even
if the slightest foundation existed
for single word Of his vile SANDER
against his own people and his own
State, why did he not make these
things known here long ago, and not
sneak off to far-away Dakota to ira
duce Florida and her law abiding
people? The man who acts as Good.
rich has in this matter will never
make speech where it is necessary
for him TO have a shotgun by his
side

The Florida Central and Peninsular Rail
way Company will run "a cheap excursion

this city Wednesday, the 10Th inst; fare for
the round trip only 1926.
This excursion will be under the per-
sonal management of Nr. s. Bolcler
Thompson, Excursion Manager of the
Florida Central and Peninsular Company,
and will undoubtedly be a pleasant one.
Some years since Mr.. Thompson conduct

1t seems that the scheme Of colo
nizing the negroes of Texas and other
States in Mexico is about to be sue
cessfully carried out.
Late kilograms from Texas say
that the leading spirits in the scheme
have things progressing finely and
expect to leave for Mexico with the
first colony sometime about the first
of November.
A dispatch from San Antonio, dat
ed the 4th inst, says that the Mexi-
cans have made them concession of
two million dollars in money and
$4,000 acres OF. land in Vera Cruz,
and that all lacking now to enable
them to borraw money on this con-
cession is the final approval of the
Mexican Congress, now in session.
The Company has a capital of six

law of President Diaz is one of the
directors.
w. II. Ellis, one of the leading
spirits, says that they propose to pay
the way Of the colonists, to give each
head of family fifty acres of land
and sell him one hundred more.
The negroes of Texas or any
other Southern State should think
long and earnestly before allowing
themselves TO be led off to a strange
and foreign land-a land and people
entirely unknown to them-where
all would be strange, even the Ian
guage spoken; where their entire
lives would have to be changed to fit
the surroundings.
Those who 60 will soon repent the
hasty step, and from their sorrowing
hearts will say:
Accused be the hour that left my home
And from my dear friends parted,
Ger this strange foreign land to roam,
And at last die broken hearted

THE FLORIDIAN ENLARGED.

With this issue we adopt the
standard measure, six columns to the
page, and give you forty-elght col
umn paper instead of forty, as here
totore.
This will give an increased amount
of reading matter, and we hope our
readers will like the change.
1t will be our aim, to the best OF
our ability, to make the FLoRIDlAN
one of the brightest, newsiest and
best family journals in the South.
The FLoRIDIAN has for many years
been a general iavorite, and with the
fresh new departments recently adj
ded should be received with increas-
ed favor.
At the low price, one dollar for
ffty-two numbers, the FLoRID1AN
should find its way into the hands OF
every family in Florida. Our sub
scription list has rapidly increased
in the last few months, and we hope
within the next year to have at least
five thousand regular subscribers en-
rolled on our books, and il our pa
irons and friends will help US we
can have them.
Send us club and encourage US
in the work of booming Florida.

CONDITION OF CROPS.

The September report on the cou-
dition of crops, compiled by the
Government statistician of the De
partment of Agriculture, shows that
cotton is comparatively late, caused
by too abundant moisture, which has
produced a rank weed and retarded
the development of bolls, though the
general average of condition is bet
ter than it was in September Of last
year, being 500 against 1873. The
condition of the Florida crop is re-
ported at a higher figure than any of
the other States, being "a, while
Louisiana and Alabama come next,
each being quoted at 81, and Vir-
ginia shows the lowest condition, ii
being quoted at 60.
The corn crop is about week late
in large proportion of its breadth
yet the present year has been favor
able to corn growing and the yielt
will be immense.
The condition of the oat crop il
higher than for the two preceding
years, but lower than from 1882 t,
1885, inclusive. The general condi
ton is quoted at 90. The genera
crop will be large.
Altogether, the year 1889 has beer
q very good crop year, and few farm
ers have cause for complaint.
