A General Impression That Mr.. Car
Isle Will Succeed MIR. Beck.

There is a very general impression that Mr..
Carlisle will succeed Mr.. Beck in the United
States Senate. There is considerable interest
in this successorship and there is number OF
good men, either Of whom might be selected.
If the matter is settled by state pride merely
Mr.. Carlisle will certainly be chosen as
he is regarded as the ab1est man
Of the state. Next to him in prominence stand
ex-Chief Justice Lindsay, who is now state
senator, and Representative W. c. p. Brecken-
ridge. Others spoken of are ex-Representative
J. A. Mckenzie and ex-Representative John
Young Brown, whose attack on Butler
gave him wide notoriety, and who became con-
spicuous on account of his joining with Lamar
Gordon and other southern men to sustain the
electoral commission after it had been ap.
pointed
THE LEGISLATURE NOW IN SESSION.
The Kentucky legislature is now in session
and it is desirable that the election should be
held by this legislature, which was chosen
without any idea Of electing successor to Mr.
Beck and is free from any money influences
1t has always been a matter of state
pride in Kentucky to send the best
man in the state to represent them
i'll Congress and corporation. Money has never
played any part IN the selection of these men.
Now railroad and other corporate Interests are
getting more powerful in the state and when
Mr.. Beck was reelected the last time two or
three money candidates appeared in the field.
Though Mr.. Beck was chosen unanimously,
the fact that these candidates showed their
heads at all suggests the growth of such in
fuence.
FIVE YEARS OF THE TERM LEFT.
There are five years yet to run before the
term to which Mr.. Beck was elected will ex-
pire and it is quite sure that man chosen
now would succeed himself if he proved
success in the Senate Mr. Carlisle declined the
Senatorshp at the time the successor to Sena-
tor Williams was elected and Mr. Blackburn
was then chosen. 1t has been suggested that
he might decline it again with the idea of be-
ing. Speaker of the next House. There is
nothing in that. The democrats have not got
the next House yet, and If they get 1t it has
been pretty well understood for some time that
Mr. Carlisle has no intention of standing again
for Speaker. 1t is pretty well understood
among democrats now that their next Speaker
will probably be Mills or Crisp.

A KINDLING SPARK.
A Letter Found that Will Start a Big
Debate Over Gen Thomas Loyalty.

RICHMOND, Va, May 5.-A letter from the
late Gen. Geo. II. Thomas has been found in
the state archives here dated New York, March
r. 1861, addressed to Gov. Letcher of yir-
ginia, in which the writer acknowledges re-
ceipt of an offer of the position of chief of
ordnance of Virginia if he would resign from
the army and says: 1T Is not my wish to leave
the service of the United States so long as it
is honorable for me to remain in il. and there
fore so long as my native state Nirginia) re-
mains in the Union il is my purpose to remain
In the army, unless requested 10 perform
duties alike repulsive TO honor and humanity 8"
Gen. Thomas, it is said, always denied that
he ever thought of holding his allegiance to
his state above that to the United States
This letter is thought by some to indicate that
he changed his mind subsequently to writing it,

Four weeks from today the actual work OF
taking the census will be begun. The prepara-
tions are now well under way, and when the
1st of June arrives the 40 900 or more enumera-
tors, armed with paper and pencil will be
ready to begin their rounds. The busiest
place just now IN connection with the census
work is the ware house in this city where the
population schedules are stored There are
some &c, 900 900 of these schedules and force
of men under the direction of Mr. Spalding
are hard at work packing them into boxes to be
sent to the census supervisors. There are I75
supervisors, corresponding to the number of
districts into which the country is divided for
census purposes. The schedules are sent to
the supervisors to be distributed among the
enumerators. They are packed in boxes, which
weigh. when full, 237 pounds There are to
be l. 500 boxes in all, and by the end of the
present week 1t Is expected that they will all
be shipped The boxes are sent by mail which
means of course. that they are carried in the

Failure to Agree on the Silver Problem.
The republican caucus silver committee of
the Senate met Saturday afternoon to en-
deavor to come to some agreement on the
framing of silver bill to be reported to the
Senate as substitute for the Jones bill, which
comes up for consideration Wednesday. Nine
of the thirteen members of the committee
were present The discussion turned again on
the question of making the certificates which
it is proposed to issue on bullion absolute legal
tender and on the question of authorizing the
redemption Of the certificates in bullion under
certain conditions. Messrs Morrill, Hiscock
and Aldrich opposed the first proposition, and
Messrs. Morrill, and Sherman insisted on the
second After an hour and half of warm de-
bate it was evident that no conclusion could be
reached and the committee adjourned. No
other meeting has been called and it is possible
none will be held before the subject comes up
in the Senate.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-11-05

Every new outlet offered to our people
for their produce, enhances it's value to
them, for the reason that it causes compe-
tition among transportation companies,
which necessarily reduces hefreight tariff.
Aside from this it sometimes offers new
field for them.
The South Florida Railroad has re-
Gently issued a circular that in order to
secure rapid transit for the Rutland veg
etables of the country adjacent to it's
lines, enabling the growers to place their
products in the most desirable markets
within the shortest possible time, the
steamship Juniata, OF the Plant Steam
ship Line, will sail from the railroad
dock at Port Tampa for Mobile every
Tuesday, connecting at the latter place
with railroads for all points North and
West.
The circular mentioned states that the
Juniata has safe carrying capacity OF
ten thousand boxes of oranges. Fruit
and vegetables go carefully packed in a
thoroughly ventilated compartment be-
tween decks, where there can be no posi-
bility of getting, heated from boilers, the
boilers being located on deck below. On
arrival OF fruit at Port Tampa, it is
taken through the warehouse, under
cover, all the way to ships side, and at
Mobile, cars are run up to ships side, I'M
der covered sheds, thus preventing the
possibility Of damage by exposure to sun
Or rain. Whenever the Juniata has five
car loads or more Of fruit at one time.
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad will run a
special fruit train, which will make the
timefrom Mobile to st. Louis about forty
hours, Chicago about ffty-fvehours and
Kansas City sixty hours.
