A PICKING SACK.

One of our California exchanges
speaks of . new kind of sack for picking
oranges that has been invented by an in
genius orange grower of that State The
following is a description of it:
cit is a bottomless sack, the mouth
kept open by steel wire, the lower end
padded in order that the fruit may not
be bruised, and SO arranged that by
simply unlocking couple of wires the
fruit will slip out of the bottom into a
box, without the slightest chance for a
bruise. The sack is slung from the
shoulders, in front Of the picker and
holds exactly halfa box of oranges"

A FAVORED LAND.

Florida is without doubt, the most
favored spot of all this great country,
the United States, remarks one of our
State contemporaries. Other sections have
many advantages, it is very true, but
Florida is incompatible in all the attri
butes that go to insure a long life and a
pleasant, profitable and luxurious exist
ence.
Florida seems to be peculiarly favored
by an all-wise and over-ruling providence
and is invested with such charm as to
make it's inhabitants it's devoted friends
and lovers.
The State in which we live and look
out upon the rest of the world with a
kind of compassionate pity is remarkably

HAVE A SYSTEM.

In three or four weeks the shipping
season will be at flood tide and oranges
will be leaving Florida by the thousands
of boxes daily. We sincerely trust that
our growers have formulated plans-be
they good or bad-for the marketing of
their fruit. Even a bad plan has its adj
vantages over no plan at all and a heller
SHELTER method. The latter is sure to be
disastrous, and the former may also be,
but 1t will have the virtue of having been
planned and thought over
No business in the world, it matters
not how propitious was its start, how
promising the outlook, could keep up
with the same want of system that is
given the orange industry. Yet our
growers marvel at Improbable results.
The man who has several thousand boxes
of oranges for sale, should pursue the same
course as domen in other lines of business
with other commodities for Sale-that is
they should attempt to find purchaser
and obtain the highest market price.
In order to do this it certainly is not
the part of wisdom to pitch the fruit in
boxes, mark them "Florida Oranges
and send them to Mr.. So and So thous-
and miles away, who he does not know
and who may be an honest man or other
wise, and say to him, please sell this
stuff and send me the money" This is
what many orange growers do, and these
are often the ones who complain most
about improbable returns.
Now if a manufacturer in Boston,
makes for instance, several thousand
pairs of shoes, different kinds, it is not
likely that he will dump these shoes in a
Car and send them to Florida merchant
and tell him to sell them and send him
the proceeds. He will carefully box and
pack these shoes, putting of course diff
ferent kinds in different packages. Then
when a Florida merchant wishes to buy
he pays for what he gets, or if he is
worthy of credit he is given accom- mo-
dation.
If the orange marketing business was
conducted in the same careful Systema-
tic manner as other lines of business,
there would be less complaint of unprof-
liable returns.

HOW TO OBTAIN IMMIGRANT

we Will travel forever an upnllI ana
stony road if we attempt the develop
ment of Florida, or any other State or
country without outside help. We
may labor among ourselves forever, we
may try new products, new schemes and
do everything in the power of man to
increase the wealth, and broaden the
prosperity of Florida, but unless there is
a constant infusion of new blood, a gen
esis of new men, our labor will be in

ment suppose that the resources of the
State would increase and it's industries

matter has always been needed) is i'm

most illimitable possibilities. We think
there is no country on earth whose peO-
pie are so imbued with State pride,
whose people are SO thoroughly content
ed. They have been here long enough
to see the wonderful possibilities of our
soil and climate, the combined results of
which are the production of articles Of
food or utility that are free from the
competition of other sections of the coun-
TRY, for The reason that no other State in
the Union in respect to soil and climate
is at all similar. We know these things,
and take pardonable pride in them, but
we should do something to impart the
knowledge to Others When people in
other States know as much as we do
concerning Florida the MATTER of OBJ
tanning immigrants will be an easy one.
1t is foolish to talk about the future
grea tness of the State unless something
is done to bring people here to help us
in the work of development. We have
done, and are still doing all we can, and
still there are millions Of acres of land
remaining idle that might we'll be max
ing the fortunes of Industrious people in
other States, and adding to the material
wealth of the commonwealth.
1t is discouraging to review the acts of
our progressive legislatures. Ses-
siOh after session meets and adjOurns
and no action is taken to bring within
our borders those whose very labor and
help is essential to our well-being
We can suggest no plan of action ex-
cept State aid. Individuals, organized
or otherwise, can do but little. 1t is the
States duty to increase its wealth and
development, and there is no other way
of doing it in our case than by securing
immigration.
There is remedy, and it lies with the
people-the voters. If they will use

will represent the people-progressive
wide-awake, public spirited men, and
work for the interest of their constitu-
ents and the State at large, the difficulty
will be overcome and an effort will be
made by the State to obtain settlers on
our now waste land-and we predict that
the effort will be fruitful Of good results.

GerrlDle aCCluenGS WHICH, nalllnS from
other States, shock and terrify the world.
Other lands may be torn and rent by
earthquakes, and great loss of life and
destruction of property result but if one
of these shocking nuisances ever visits
the land of flowers it seems to have lost
the greater portion of it's strength EN-
route, and can hardly make loose
hitching post Shiver at it's power.
Fiery and untamed cyclones may raw
age the West and leave ruined cities and
armies of dead and MANNED humanity in
their wake, but in Florida the breezes
subdued by the glory of the climate,
only exert themselves enough to keep the
atmosphere cool and pleasant.
At the time when the blizzard is howl
ing over the plains, filling the air with
ice and snow, freezing the blood Of those
unfortunate enough to be at its mercy
and strewing the land with dead, we sit
beneath the shade of orange trees, of
vines and flowers and watch the golden
harvest getting ready for a northern
trip.
We have no great fires that obliterate
whole towns as if they were made of
cards and sweep out of existence the
wealth it has taken long weary years of
patient toll to produce.
We have a climate that makes the
State one vast natural sanitarium with a
wealth of balm sufficient for the healing
of the nation.
While in the first three months of the
year the people ofless favored lands have
to be content with canned Stuffs, and last
years scanty vegetables and fish, brought
from distance packed in icy armor,
we luxuriate in the freshest of vegetables
and fruits, grown in our own soil, and
eat splendid fish caught in our own wat
ers and at our very doors.
While in the torrid heat of summer
the inhabitants of the East and West
and North swelter in their own homes
and bear with grim endurance sultry
terrible nights, we enjoy a delightful
temperature, cooled by breeZes from sea
and lake and river, and at night sink
into delightful restful sleep such as
one obtains in very few other places on
this terrestrial globe.
While they can only find the seaside,
the green shaded river or the placid lake,
by hours and days of travel, there is not
a city in the State of Florida but what
can have the choice of fifty such fasinat-
ing summer resorts, in less than half
days travel.
We have no sunstrokes to cook the
brains of eager workers and send them
TO the other world before their time.
The extreme heat of the summer day is
tempered by breezy mellowness that
takes away all the evil qualities of the
heat and leaves life worth living at all
times.
Our climate is conducive to health,
wealth, happiness, ease and length of
days.
The soil repays us right royalty for the
generous treatment it receives, and all
the year round birds sing and flowers
bloom.

EDITORIAL CHAT.

The effort to open up an English mar
ket for our oranges is worth the cooperation of
orange growers. Every box OF oranges sent out
of the country helps our home market just that
much The Fruit Exchange is to be commended
for it's action in the matter.
WE have received the October number
of Pabor Lake Pineapple the handsome monthly
issued by W. Z. Pabor, of Pabor Lake, DeSotO
County. The Pineapple is sixteen page paper,
printed on fine stock of pineapple tint and chock
full of pineapple literature and other bright and
interesting matter.

A New YORK commission man pub
fishes card in one of the State papers. in which
he says that it is not likely that Northern firms
will be willing to contract for fruit this year and
advises growers to consign him their fruit to
Jacksonville and he will forward it for them to
the best markets of the country OF course this
commission man has fish to fry-he wishes to
have the fruit consigned to him. We predict
that there will be fruit sold the trees this
year than ever before

ISa little over four weeks the election
will be upon Us, aud as yet there is no
activity apparent in the Republican
ranks. Il is true that the result in Penn
sylvania and in Somerset county is fore
gone conclusion, but Republicans should
not sleep upon their arms. With the
Democrats iE possession Of the Executive
and legislative branches Of the Federal
government, with business paralyzed by
the threat OF free trade, with thousands
Of men out Of employment and without
the power to earn their daily bread, mills
and mines closed, and looms and spindles
id,e, it is the duty Of Pennsylvania to
protest by an overwhelming Republican
majority against the policy Of the party
in power, that has brought desolation TO
her wage -earners and calamity to herin-
dustries. While protection to our prod
ucis is not an immediate issue Of this
c3mpaign, yet indirectly the tariff issue
is Of paramount importance, and the
wishes and feelings Of our people will be
measured and estimated by the magni-
tude Of the Republican vote polled. A
bill is nov being prepared by the Demo-
cratic free-traders in Congress for the
overthrow Of our present tariff and the
abolition OF all protective duties, and it
is their constant and insolent boast that
the country deliberately declared in favor
Of this policy by majority of votes at
the last election. Pennsylvanians at least
should prove by their votes at the com
ing election how deteTminedly they pro-
test against and repudiate the intimation
that they favor free trade. Protection to
our industries and their products has
made Us the greatest and most prosper
Gus Of sil our sister Commonwealtbs and
to silently aequiesce in the overthrow Of
the one and the destruction Of the other
would justly place US in the class ofimbe-
Giles, uaworthy Of our inheritance. Il is
therefore the duty Of every Republican
TO emphasize his opinions in this crisis
by his vote.

useful and selfsupporting citizens. He
favors the breaking up of tribal relations

in its way, and no school has ever attempted
such an excursion at its own expense The
Indian boys and girls are paying all their
own expenses from the earnings of the past
