Washington, d. c.. Sept. 25th.
| Hon. w. j. Northen:
My Dear Sir.-I hardly know how to
/ reply TO your letter Of the 18th instant.
1t seems TO me that l am quite plainly
on record concerning the financial ques-
| ton. My letter accepting the nomina-
/ tion TO the presidency, when read In
| connection with the message lately sent
70 the Congress in extraordinary session,
appears 10 me TO be very explicit
l want a currency that is stable and
safe in the hands Of our people. l will
| not knowingly be implicated in condi-
ton that will justly make me I'm the least
degree answerable to any laborer or farm
er In the United States for a shrinkage
I'm the purchasing power Of the dollar he
has received for a full dollars worth
| Of work, or for a good dollars worth
of the product Of his toll. / not only
want our currency 10 be Of such a char
acter that all kinds of dollars will be
Of equal purchasing power at home. but
/ want IL TO be OF such a character as
Will demonstrate fbroad our wisdom
and good faith thus placing us upOn
firm foundation and credit among the
nations OF the earth.
/ want our financial conditions and
the laws relating TO our currency so safe
and reassuring that those who have
money will spend and invest it in busi-
ness and new enterprises. instead Of
boarding IL. You cannot cure fright
by calling it foolish and unreasonable
and you cannot prevent the frightened
man from boarding his money
/ want good sound and stable money
and condition Of confidence that will
keep It in use.
Within the limits Of what / have writ
ten. / am a friend Of silver, but / be-
lieye its proper place In our currency
can only be fixed by readjustment Of
our currency legislation, and the inaug-
uratiOn OF a consistent and comprehen-
sive financial scheme / think such a
thing can only be entered upon proftably
and hopefully after the repeal Of the law
which is charged with all our financial
woes. In the present state OF the pub
lie mind, this law cannot be built upon,
nor patched IN such a way as TO relieve
the situation.
am therefore opposed TO the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver by this coun-
try alone and Independently and / am
I'm favor Of the immediate and uncondi-
tionaI repeal OF the purchasing clause
of the so-called Sherman law.
1 confess / am asronshed by the oppo-
sition in the Senate 10 such prompt ac-
ton as would relieve the present unfortu-
nate situation. Ny daily prayer is that
the delay occasioned by such opposition
may not be the cause OF plunging the
country into deeper depression than
II has yet known, and that the Demo-
cratic party may not be justly held re-
sponslble for such catastrophe.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Possibilities to Her Farmers.

The Fruit Industry Presents Vast
Possibilities to Her Farmers.
Savannah, Ca, Aug 25.-Editor Morn
ing News: A correspondent in New York
under date of Aug. IL, has addressed me
the following letter:
Il inclose herewith a clipping from the
Sun of to-day, which touches upon a
matter in which we have an interest, and
it seems to me that the press of Georgia
could do the state a great service. 1t
seems to me that visit to this market
where the condition and style of the Cali
fOrnia fruit, the rapidity with which this
market absorbs good fruit, would De OBJ
ject lessons whose effect would be felt
throughout the state when properly pre-
sented. Take for instance the viticultu-
raj industry of Georgia. 1 do not know
that anything is being done to place it
upon a footing of certainty and beyond
the realm of experiment. California
through it's legislature, appropriated Sl0,-
GOO for the purpose Of examining into the
merits of the best varieties to cultivate
and the best methods to be pursued; it
appointed a yiticultural commission, a
member from each district, consisting of
men prominent in their communities,
who served without pay, and the result
of their work is apparent in the flourish
ing condition of the industry. The state
OF Georgia has the possibilities of soil and
climate and it remains for the people to
rise to the occasion"
The extract from the Sun, of Aug. -, is
as follows: 'The Californians are receiv-
Ing piles of money from New York this
year for the excellent fruits with which
they supply our markets, and which get
here before those of any other state
There has been, within few years, a sur
prising growth of the city'S consumption
of California oranges and lemons, apples
and pears, peaches and grapes plums
and prunes, besides wines of all kinds
As fruit-grOwing state California cannot
be surpassed, and New York has become
her best market, a far better
one this wear than in any other.
Our southern brethren, except the Geor-
gians who raise melons, do not embrace
the opportunity offered them for supplying
this great city with the choice fruits
which ripen early upon their soil. They
lose money by their negligence, millions
of money year. There is South Caro-
lima for example, which might grow rich
upon the fruit trade with New York, and
might send US even green figs to her ad-
vantage. The southeruers are not as
enterprising as the Californians in this
line Of business, though their land lies
nearer to US than the land on the Pacific.
We have spoken on this subject once or
twice before but the southers, excepting
the watermelon raisers of Georgia, do
not seem to comprehend it very clearly"
Thinking if this article is properly ex-
plotted by the press of the state it might
lend renewed interest to the uquestion of
diversified fruit products 10 the'state of
Georgia, thought it good judgment to
send it to you to make such use of as you
deem best. G.. d. OWENS.

Gainesville, Fla, Aug. 25.-There is
complaint that our county court has been

pealing and amending existing statutes

it is plain the legislators themselves did
not? A writer says Judge Gardiner of the

SENSATIONAL REPORT.
We had a ripple of excitement day be-

Mr. LeYburne, a former resident and late

ter place and was sick at his fathers
house in North Gainesville. DR.. Lancas-

find Leyburne, or any man sick in the
whole suburb. The fact was soon estab-
IlShed that Ley Durne was SJlll IN GeOr-
gia. If he had been there sick, however,
we would not have had corporals guard
left in town.
The orange smut, and the white fly pro
ducing it, will cost the growers a pretty
penny unless some cheap and easily APP
piled thorough eradicator be soon forth
coming.

curt, careless eve the jury, find that it
was justifable homicide. So say we all, -
of a coroner's jury at High Springs yes
terday. On Tuesday night a negro named
Spencer King, confined in the city jail, re
quested deputy sheriff named Sheehee
to go out with him. Sheehee sat down to
watch his prisoner, when the negro
jumped upon him, grasping him tightly
around the neck. Then came the ever
ready pistol, and Spencer King was dead,
with five pellets of lead in his body. Will
the time ever come when coroners' juries
will not be allowed to render verdicts of
conviction or acquittal2
