AHInt ID 800 rnrmorn-

A communication from Col c d.
Owens, traaic manager Of the Plant svs-
tenn, published ia another column Of this
issue, contains suggestions % the farmers
of Georgia, Florida and South Carolina
that ought % receive from them very
careful consideration. The sum and sub
stance Of these suggestions are that the
farmers ofs these states could improve
their material condition greatly by giving
more attention to liberalization Of fruits.
The climate Of all three Of the states is
well adapted 10 many kinds Of fruits that
find ready market in the northern and
western cities. Those cities are increas-
ing rapidly in population, and, therefore,
their capacity to consume fruits is in
creasing. Florida is of course, devoting a
great deal of attention to oranges and
lemons, and the area in Georgia devoted
TO peaches and pears is being steadily en-
larged, but there are other fruits that
could be cultivated protitably in both
states
In Col. Owens communication there is
one extract from the New York Sun
pointing out that PARKWAY California is
drawing vast sums Of money annually
from New York for fruits; and yet the
soil and climate in California are not bet
ter adapted to fruit growing than are
those of Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina.
The enterprise shown by Californians in
the matter of fruits is Of kind that in
sures success. They have attained their
present prosperity by persistence and by
the exercise Of the highest intelligence.
They have experimental, and their state
government has helped them to expert
ment until they have arrived at degree
of perfection in fruit growing that has
made their fruits and wines famous
What has been done in the matter of
fruit growing in California can be done in
Georgia Peaches, pears, apples, grapes,
plums and figs can be grown in abund-
ance, and with great profit; and from the
grapes wines can be made equal to those
of California All that Is necessary is
patience, perseverance and intelligence.
1t has not been many years since the
cultivation of watermelons on a large
scale was begun in Georgia, and now hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
melons are shipped to the north and west
every year. Within a comparatively re-
cent period the raising of vegetables for
the northern market was undertaken.
Now Chatham county alone sends vast
quantities of early vegetables to New
York and other cities. There is more
money in vegetables than in cotton, or
grain or stock, and there are fortunes
awaiting those who will give their atten-
tion to fruits. New York is easily and
quickly reached from all points of Geor-
gia and Florida, and in that respect these
states haves great advantage over Cali
fornia. Col. Owens communication
should have the effect of awakening the
farmers Of this part Of the south to the
possibilities of fruit. They should get
from the legislature assistance Just as
California has, and they should under
take the cultivation of fruits with a de-
termination to win success.

Akithuaud, Va man mot Henry Waiter.
aoH tbr1thCr day 0n o. Chesapeake and
Ohio train returning from Washington 20
Kmtuckv and asked him Tor Che news
40 the national capital Mr. Watterun
is reported 90 have said that there 'are
eulr two uah n Washington who know
an about the silver question. One is
Senator Stewart. Of Nevada, who OWNS
on the silver, and the other is Senator
Daniel, Of Virginia, who hasn't got
cent
The brilliant Kentucky editor no doubt
intended 10 be witty and was successful
but does not his answer contain good
deal Of TRUTH Are not a
great many of those who are the
most earnest in their demand for the
free coinage Of silver at ratio that would
not make silver dollar equal in intrinsic
value to "a gold dollar, composed of those
who own the silver mines and those who
have no money, but hope that the free
coinage of silver would in some way bet
ter their financial condition!
And isn't there a moral question in
VOWED in this effort to force the people 10
take short weight silver dollars which
some Of the silver senator's have over
looked? Does it seem right, for instance,
that Senator Stewart, who is reported 10
be largely interested in silver mines,
should use his influence And vote, as
senator, to bolster up silver at the expense
OF the people}
Senator Stewart was not in favor Of the
free coinage of silver in 1873, when silver
was demonetized. The statement has
been published, and there is no reason TO
doubt its truth, that Senator Stewart,
who was a member of congress in 1873,
voted for a bill demonetizing silver. It
was not until the price of silver began TO
decline, owing to overproduction, that he
and other silver mine owners began to
clamor for the free coinage of silver.
Being largely interested in silver how
can he, as a senator, legislate for the
best interests of the people? Is it notnat-
ural that he should place his own inter
ests ahead of those of the people} If lie
had a fine sense of what IS right it
would seem as if he would hesitate, I'M
der the circumstances, to use the power
of his position to give product, in which
he is so deeply interested, fictitious val
ne, especially as such a value would sooner
on later prove injurious to the best inter
ests Of the people Already attention has
been called to the fact that some of the
silver senators seem to be more anxious
to help themselves than to help the people.

Two of a Kind.

Senator Hill did not strengthen himself
with his constituents, or with people OUT
side OF his state, by the support he gave
Senator PETERS resolution on Wednesday
inquiring whether the national banks are
refusing to pay checks in full, drawn
against deposits, thus violating the law.
Senator German and other senators tried
to have the resolution sent 10 the finance
committee for the reason that Its passage
might still further increase distrust and
bring about the disaster the banks are
trying to avert, and it would have been so
referred had not Senator Hill Joined Sen
ator PETER in demanding its immediate
consideration.
What Senator Hills purpose was In
adopting the course he did was not dis
closed. II is supposed that he had two
objects in view, one being to in1ure the
administration and the other being to
show that he does not acknowledge the
leadership of Senator German. If either
is the correct one 1t is apparent that he
falls below the average estimate of a
statesman. The man who permits his
personal resentments or ambition to con-
troll his action in matters In which the
whole country is profoundly concerned is
hardly fitted for great public trust
1t Is well known that the national
banks have not been Obeylng the law
strictly In the matter of checks drawn
against deposits held by them and are not
now, but their patrons understand that
they are doing the best they can to com
ply with the law, and, as a rule, business
men are submitting to the inconvenience
which the action of the banks has caused
them, knowing that insistance upon their
rights might result in widespread dis
aster.
1t remained for the Kansas Senator,
PETER, assisted by Senator Hill, to try
70 increase the danger of the situation by
insisting upon having officially the infor-
nation they had already.
Senator PETER said in his speech Thurs
day that the banks in refusing to pay out
currency on checks, did what they ought
to do, and that he had no fault to
find with them. Why then did he intro
duco his resolution of inquiry His ad-
mission that the banks are acting wisely
makes his action inexplicable If many
more such men get into the Senate that
body will command very little respect
from the people

Hands Appointment Criticised.

There seems to be a good deal of dissat-
isfaction with Speaker Crisp, among
democrats, for appointing Mr.. Bland
chairman of the committee on coinage
Mr.. Bland is not in harmony with his
party on the silver question. He favors
the free coinage of silver at a ratio that
would make it impossible for silver cur
rency to circulate on parity with gold
currency. 1t would not make much diff
ference who is chairman of the coinage
committee if the majority of the commit
tee were in favor of sound money, but a
majority of the committee are favora bic
to a short-weight silver dollar
Mr. Bland and his committee may not
be able to cause distrust of the currency,
but it is pretty certain that if they are
given a chance they will try to get con-
gress 20 adopt some measure relative to sill
yer that will not be acceptable to the
country.
The country will accept free silver coin
age upon only one condition, and that is
that silver coin shall have an intrinsic
value equal to its face value. If Mr.
Bland favored that kind Of free silver
coinage there would be no objection to
him, but he doesn't, and, therefore the
speaker made mistake in putting him at
the head of the coinage committee.

A putchman,a Insurance.

says the Newcastle (England) Chronicle, had
effected an insurance on 1t OF $500, although it
had been built for much less. The house got
burnt down and the Dutchman then claimed
the full amount for which IL had been insured;
but the officers of the company refused to pay
more than its actual value--about 5000 He
expressed his dissatisfaction in powerful

most expensive buildings, it is thought,
will be the ones to bring the least money.

will give bond TO tear it down and remove

the mines building, however, the frames
are much lighter, and could be taken

On the maps Of the world you will find il not
Twas fought by the mothers OF men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nohler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or thought
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a walled-up womans heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely silently bore her part
Lo! there is that battlefield.
No marshaling troop, no bivouac song,
No banners to CLEAN and waVel
But oh these battles they last so long
From babyhood TO the grave.
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars,
She fights In her walledup town
Fights on and on in the endless wars;
Then silent, unseen-goes downl
o We with banners and battle-shot
And soldiers to shout and praisel
1 tell you the Kingliest victories fought
Are fought IN these silent ways.
o spotless woman in a world of shamel
With splendid and silent scOrn,
Go back to God, as white as you came,
The klngllest warrior born!
