have stated before; as in the mineral
kingdom the most precious metals, gold

produced from silicous (sandy) soils.

heavier, coaSer and darker the leaf will
be- Light colors are now fashionable and

darker will be the leaf. This difficulty
may be obviated, however, by free use

Climatic influence upon vegetation and

doubtful if such good results can be OBJ

Mr.. Louis KeViatkoWski, an educated

"As soon as Florida planters can Sc

the greatest wealth producers in the
State. At present Titusville, at the head
OF the Indian River, is the only point

elements always give greater weight
and body to the leaf. Red and brown
argllaceOus soils universally carry more
or less iron oxide which gives not only
body and weight but elasticity also to
the leaf. and in cigar leaf for filling such
soils are not Objectionable as the quality
of combustion is not materially lessened
thereby unless the soil is also impreg-
mated with lime. But the different lime
stones which chance to be on the sur

The Walworth division OF Neyington. who
threatened to bolt to the opposition, changed
his mind at the last moment and went into the
LOBBY with the ministerialists.
As Mr.. Gladstone returned from the lobby
liberals and nationalist rose, cheered and
waved their hats. John Redmond shouted.
Three cheers for Parnell," but the only re-
spouse was laughter.
The announcement that the bill had passed
the second reading by vote Of 3i7 to 30I was
the signal for more cheers and hat waving.
There was another demonstration when Mr..
Gladstone left the house. Crowds had Rath-
cred outside the building, and a. the prime
minister rode away he was followed by their
cheers.
The Prince Of Wales, who had been present
during the debate, remained until the result Of
the decision was announced. Among tho vis-

The overwhelming republican victories
throughout the state at the recent munich pal
elections are due largely to tire work OF these
leagues The fact that the women generally
voted the republican ticket has very materially
changed sentiment among republicans and
POLITICIANS who have heretofore opposed equal
suffrage and those VINO have regarded the ex-
pertinent as a dangerous one for the republican
party are now willing to remain silent and will
not hgnt The amendment.
whether the women generally voted the re-
publican ticket from choice whether it was
prearranged by the leaders to disarm their Cd.
ponents and tie their hands is a question. In
either event the result Is very satisfactory. and
the leaders believe they see the shackles which
have made them slaves falling and complete
freedom and liberty near at hand.
ORGANIZING THE PoPULIsrs.
While all this work is going on in the repub-
lican ranks a thorough organization is being
effected in the popuiist camp. Mrs Mary Z.
Lease, the Kansas Joan of Arc. is directing the
fight. She is a very suave politician. Early in
the yea- she secured from Gov Lewelling the
appointment of president Of the state board of
charities. position. which will pay her { 1 200
per snnum. and which requires her to travel
into ali parts of the state. On her Official four
news she does not lose sight Of the main chance
and organizes among the alliance and populist
women wherever she goes equal suffrage
clubs. She directs her sisters in the work of
pushing the organizations, and having Gown
the seed in one community she goes to another
and continues the work
