| TRIBUTE TO woLCoTT BALES
TIER.
Edward Box in the Boston Journal


When l read Kipling's letter about New
York, | regretted the death of Wolcott Bal
estier all the more deeply. Had Balestier
lived, Kipling's malicious structures upon
America which he is now printing would
never have seen the light of day Kip
ling had implicit faith in Balestier, and
Balestier had an excellent judgment and a
better mind. 1t is pity he had to go, for
he would have not only made himself great,
but he would have done much for his tai
ented but indiscreet brother-in-law.
do not think that we in America ever
thoroughly appreciated Wolcott Balestier.
1t is true we never heard much about him
until after he had gone to London. But
| recall him some six or seven years ago,
when in dngy room in an uptown board
ing house in New York he would work
days and nights trying to redeem the in
vestment of another in a literary venture.
He was then the editor Of an unfortunate
periodical called Time, which had brief
and precarious existence i'm New York.
His resources were of the most limited
character, and yet he knew that his only
hope for success lay in making bright pa
per. Work under such circumstances is
enough to drive a conscientious man al
most insane. Yet Balestier's honor new
er permitted him to underpay man. He
was the very soul of honor-a man to
whom you would take off your hat i'm re-
spect and take off your coat to work for.
He would purchase all he dared of the
work of others, paying the best prices,
and then would write the rest of the paper
| himself. No author ever suffered a wrong
at his hands What he suffered only he
and one or two others ever knew, and they
only slightly. And when he went to Eng
land he was the same. He strove with all
his might for the upbuilding of the inter
ests he was sent abroad to represent, and
at first the task was not an easy one. He
was compelled to stand alone on his honor,
| but upon that he won, and all the time
supporting those with him and never let
ting them define the extent of his strug-
! giles. Last summer | met him again in
! London, and prosperity was then within
| his grasp. But it had not changed him a
| particle. No man shrank so much as
did he from giving another the slightest
trouble in his behalf, yet he would
60 to any personal privation or trouble to
| do kindness for others. He was a noble
| young fellow in all that makes up strong
and upright character, and ii ever doubt
ed the wisdom of an all-wisc dispensation,
| it was when | heard that Wolcott Balestier
! had been taken away.

Few people realize the enormous increase
in the Florida orange crop. 1t is not many
years since We depended largely on Messi-
ma or Valencia to supply our market with
this fruit, Now the Italian orange is seen
only in small quantities. The increase in
the orange groves of Florida has, in the
natural course of events, reduced the price
to such a figure that the producer finds but
small and a yearly decreasing, profit in
the cultivation of the fruit. The crop for
the coming season is estimated at four mil
lion boxes, and a foreign market is urged
as the only way by which the grower can
be adequately recompensed. 1t is estimat-
ed that last season more than a thousand
boxes of oranges dropped and rotted with
in three miles of Fort Meade, Fla, the
low prices not paying for packing and ship
ping.

Some OF the revelations of the census
are a surprise. For instance, there are
now more than half a million almond trees
actually bearing in the United States !;
there are hundreds of thousands of bear
ing cocoanut trees; there are more than a
quarter of a million olive trees, producing
fruit equal to the best Mediterranean vari-
cites. There are more than half a million
bearing banana plants, 1000 bearing
lemon trees, 10000 orange trees, and
$1,000, 900 pineapples. The value of trop-
ical and semi-tropical fruits grown under
the American flag is nearly $50 600. coo.

A Billion Dollar Country.
From The New York Press

This country under the new tariff law
goes on record for the l. months ending
April 30 last as having exported over bill
lion dollars worth of American products
Imports for the same T. months amounted
to SS32, 09S, 765. of which nearly - per
cent came in duty free. The balance of
trade in favor of the United States in the
same period was Sl79, 406,5l4. There are
no arguments that can controvert the pros
perity displayed by these figures of nation
al operations in trade and commerce under
the Mckinley law.

The Vermont Fish and Game league is
doing good work, according to the Mont
pelier Argus. Men have been arrested at
West Randolph and RoXbury for catching
trout out of season, and at Winooski for
spearing fish. Hale Brothers at Benson

net. One of them was fined $50 for
having pike in his possession, and the case
for using a net continued At Benson.
West Haven, Vergennes and other places

ness in sending fish to market, claiming
that they were caught in Canada, is to be
pushed.
