OTHER FRUITS KEEP PRICES DOVE


The immense crop of apples and other
fruit crops of the north and west, and the
consequent low prices, have kept down the
price of oranges. The California crop,
which is estimated to be In the neighbor-
hood of 100000 boxes, will begin to move
about the middle of January, and will also
tend to keep the price of Florida fruit down.
The growers are expecting little better
prices later in the season, but the advance
will not be very great. The crop is now
moving rapidly aud by Jan. l between two
fifths and one-half of the entire crop will
have been marketed.
There have been few spectators In
Florida this season. The most of them lost
money last year and they are going slow
this year. More fruit is being sold on con-
signnnent than In the last five or six years
and probably than ever before in the his
tory of Florida orange growing. The bust
ness of the Florida Fruit Exchange has
about trebled since last year. The orange
industry is developing rapidly. New
groves are being put out all over the
state and the prospect is that in a
comparatively short time, few years at
the farthest, the production will be twice
what it is now.

years ia the transportation of oranges and
Is thoroughly posted on the crop aud its
movement.
The present Florida crop, he says, will
fall considerably short of the estimate at
the beginning Of the season and will, ac-
cording to the most conservative growers,
not exceed $3.50, 900 to $500, 900 boxes. The
prices have been lower than ever known
at this season. The average to growers so
far has been about 81 65 box in market.
The cost of picking, packing, transporsa-
ton, commissions and other expenses is
about ~ cents a box, so that the net to the
grower has been about 95 cents box.
However, the value of the crop will proba-
bly, be somewhat greater than it was last
year o wing TO the increased production.
Last years crop was between 100000 and
roc, 900 boxes The estimate of the pres
emit crop at the opening of the season was in
the neighborhood of 4, 200, 900 boxes.

with which every Republican followed its
standard bearers, were largely due to the
prominence Of young men in its ranks.
What was true In that marvellous cam
paign Of 1860. which elevated Lincoln to the
presidency and brought the Republican par
ty into power in the nation. has been also
true In the political campaigns since the war
closed; and will continue to be true so long
as the X publican party remains faithful 10
Is mission.
There is most satisfactory reason for the
tendency Of large majority OF our youns
men to ally themselves with the Republican
party. which Is to be found In the fact that
young men are. as rule, progressive, anu
| the further fact that the Republican Is the
progressive party ng smT ara slWays ssOa.
| rated i'm their tendencies by the lines which
| dIstingnish progressive from non-progres-
| sive Thought. This Is manifest not only In
| the shaping of measures, but also, and es-
~ thoneht as to the functions of govern
| ment. With the laissez fdtre or "let alone"
| schnol the mission of government end with
the bare protection OF life and property.
With the progressive school Sa me EN- mission aS oi
| tends to measures and policies that form and
| strengthen character, restrict and curb evil
| tendencies, aud enlarge the opportunities for
| Individual effort and foster enterprise. For
| more than half century, ever since slavery
took possession of the Democratic party,
| that organization has been the refuge OF men
| who, by constitutional tendencies or interest
| have resisted progress and have held the
"let alone" theory OF government; theory
which naturally attracts men whose interest
| lies in the maintenance of hoary wrongs.
The Republican party had Its birth In that
grand uprising of the progressive thought
| and better impulses Of the nation against the
''let alone" theory Of government under
which slavery had taken refuge, and In the
shadow of which secession was planned and
organized.
With the abolition OF slavery the slavery
question ceased to be an issue between par
ties; but other issues succeeded In which the
line of demarcation between the progressive
thought of the nation as embodied in the Re-
publican party and the non-progressive as
embodied In the Democratic party was as
clearly drawn as In the slavery issue.
In the Congress whose last session so re-
Gently closed this line Of demarcation was
brought out conspicuoasiy.

ALL WERE WOMEN.
And They Cause . Lively Time In Judge
Kimball's Court,

And They Cause . Lively Time In Judge
Kimballs Court.
There was an exciting scene in Judge KIM
balls court this morning the judge was
about to dispose of case i'm which there women
had been charged with disorderly conduct
The defendants were Mrs. Harriet Roth, Miss
Mary Keicher and Mrs. Kate Campbell.
Mrs. Lizzie Gordon of No. IS street north.
west was the person who swore out the warrant,
and among her witnesses was Miss Fannie
Campbell, daughter of one Of the defendants.
1t came out in the evidence that Fannie
Campbell lives at the house Of Mrs. Gordon
against her mothers will and this fact seems
to have been the cause of the trouble
Fannie said that she was twenty-five years
old and wanted to know if she did not have q
right to do as she pleased without being an
noyed In this way, and the judge told her she
had SO long as she did not violate any law.
She said her mother claimed that she was
not twenty-one years old, but she knew better,
and said she had the Bible to prove it.
After hearing all the testimony Judge Kim
ball concluded that he would fine the women
and suspend sentence and the clerk was abou,
to have them enter upon the required bond
when Mrs. Campbell rushed at her daughter
Fanny to take the Bible from her. During the
condition became SO serious that she required
the services of physician.
DR.. Lynn of the health office responded and
prescribed for her.
Judge kimball then changed his sentence &c
lar as Mrs. Campbell WAS concerned. and made
her pay the 80 fine for being disorderly and u
for contempt.
