THE prompt response of the citi-
zens' guard and others to the call
for duty should not pass without'a
word of commentator. AS the
rumors of trouble spread citizens
came in at the police station from
every quarter, ready 20 take arms
and do the bidding of the officials.
1t is this hearty cooperation that
inspires confidence, and tells the
community better than mere words
that we are a unit for the mainten-
ance of good government. A solid
front must and will be maintained.

IF WIVES TALKED POLITICS.

If women read more and understood

Inclined to go down street of an even
ing in order to find some one with
whom to discuss the issues of the day.
Exchange.
We believe woman should know
politics and should have the privi-
lege of voting if she so desires, but
we hope and trust that no woman
will study the political issues of the
day with the view of talking poll
tics to keep her husband away from
the corner grocery store or the club
of an evening. Opposition is nee
essary evil of discussion, and in
stead of the husband going home
to soothe his narrowed feelings we
are liable to see him headed for
the corner grocery much the worse
for having his pet political ideas dis
turbed while under his own vine
and fig tree. If a husbands love
Of home because it is home, is not
strong enough to keep him there
evenings, we doubt very much
whether political discussion will
help the matter. There are GER
tain rules of human nature estab-
ished by length of existence rather
than by any prestige of right or
wrong which must be overcome be-
fore the husband can be kept at
home in a happy frame of mind by

II do not propose to repeat the
we'll worn sphorism, so often assent
ed to be the cardinal doctrine Of
the total abstainer, that the moder-
ate drinker is worse than the
drunkard;' for am perfectly aware
that there are thousands who do use
this drug in such moderation that it
does not perceptibly affect their
personal we'll being, although no
student of hereditary will deny that
the tendency Of such q habit is harm
full In its results on their defendants.
But among Christian workers, what
I may be or do is slowly giving place
to the question, in relation to the
general welfare. What may zoe do,
and Whist is best for us3 Here we
have the drink plague raging among
us like strong disease.
What ought I to do about it? This
is the stern center of the whole dis
cussion. -
In answer to this query, which
every sane mind and honest heart
must ask itself thousand and a
thousand times, men and women,
who by long observation and expert
ence have become experts in the tenn
perance movement, unite to make
this declaration; as one pair OF lips
we will stop the tawny, seething,
nauseous tide; we will SO act that il
our action were taken as a guide,
this curse would be banished from
our land ere another sun should rise.
The products of the vineyard, the

never lifted by our hands.
Would to God that each of Us
might say at this time: I am but
one, but I am one; I cannot do every
thing, but I can do something; what
I can do, I ought to do, and what l
ought to do by the grace of God, 1

CHARACTER OF AGITAToRs.

The true character of the agltat-
ors who are egging the natives TO
acts of violence against the Govern
ment has again been brought to
the front by the testimony gwen
by a native, before the Marshal
during the past week. 1t is the
old story. Natives are allowing
themselves to be used as tools In
the hands of disafected whites
who have personal official axes to
grind; men whose only aim is
personal aggrandizement. The
country might be relegated to COM
mercial and financial destruction,
it matters nothing to them 30 long
as the goal set by narrow, personal
desire Is reached. Under the gulse
of the pious patriot, they work
upon the sentimental instincts
which run high in the rank and file
Of the native element. In fact, 30
artfully is their task performed
that the less discerning mind is
blind to the true character OF the
two-faced politician with which 1t
is dealing.
The native should profit by the
story of the band of royal person
ages who, while sitting at dinner,
were put under a magic spell. Be
fore each one seated at the table
there appeared beautiful cluster
of grapes dangling from luxuriant
vine. With one accord, knives
were grasped to cut the fruit from
the vine. AS each was about to
sever the stem, the spell was re-
moved. Each noble found himself
graspfng his nose-in one hand and
in the other knife, with which he
was about to sever this important
factor in his phyisiognomy. By
an artful combination of words,
and disgraceful distortion of facts,
certain classes of the country are
loyal to cause which can result
only in their cutting off their own
noses to satisfy the selfish agitator,
who spreads broadcast the illusion
that he is leader. When that
illusion is dispelled, quiet will
reign.
Not a man of those sowing the
seeds of disunion among the ma
tives will be found in the front
rank, except when there is an OPP
portunity to rush for spoils. He is
ever in the rear rank, careful that
he is well-protected in front, and has
a clear field to hastily get out of
the way of danger when it presents
itself. These men are faint-hearted,
narrow-minded pushers rather than
leaders, and the sooner the native
finds it out the better for all con-
cerned.

try contrary to law no one
will deny aud most people
believe that large portion of
it comes in vessels plying be-
tween ports on the Pacific
Coast and the Hawaiian ISL
ands. To acknowledge this
as a fact is to argue that the
men who bring it here and
land it successfully are smart
er in their business than the
men employed by the Govern
ment to keep it out. Where's
the remedy?
On the other hand it is
believed that opium is landed
from numerous small schoon-
ers sailing out of Victoria and
Vancouver, which clear for the
Japan Sea with permission to
stop and trade at ports in the
Hawaiian Islands. If the
sands on the beach, of the
small islands to windward
could bark their information
of the doings of these '1ong
rakish crafts" what a yelping
| there would be. There might
be a check put on this class of
customers if the Government
would petition the Custom
House authorities of the
United States and British
Columbia at ports along the
Coast to deny the masters of
these small sailing vessels
clearance papers, such as is
mentioned above. A request
of this character would be
honored without a question,
and opium smuggling through
that source might have a set
back. If in the opinion of the
Government it is not a good
thing to license the drug it
looks to a man up a tree, as
though extraordinary means
should be taken to prevent its
importation. What's the matter
with organizing a revenue
marine service and have a cut
ter that could do patrol work ?

celebrated "Victor" safe made |

They are not 'just as good"

a trihe better. They are well
finished and strong; having
double doors they are not easy
of access to persons who have
no business with the contents.

The Effectiveness of Pyrethrum.

Pyrethrum is light yellow powder,
used las an insectlcide, and made by
powdering the leaves and flowers of the
pyrethrum plant. The plant grows well
In the South, but is only grown for the
markets, so far as [ know, in Persia and
California. The product grown in Per-
STA is known under the name of Persian
or Dalmatian insect powder, while that
grown in California is known under the
trade name of Buhach. Pyrethrum is
an excellent insecticide for many pur-
poses, especially to destroy the green
cabbage worms upon cabbages after the
heads have formed, and for the des-
truction of house flies, and for these
two purposes, l have often recommended
it. But pyrethrum varies greatly as to
it's effectiveness, and on this account
care should be taken regarding it's pur-
chase. When purchased it is apt to be
of but little value as an insecticide, and
when thus purchased, it is best to buy
but small amount, say half pound,
for trial, to see if it is effective, before
purchasing large amount.-H. E.

CD No kind of natural phosphate is of
much value applied directly to the soil,
unless in very finely divided state.
~ Natural phosphates which consist
chiefly of the calcium salt are of very
little value when applied directly to soil
deficient in organic matter or containing
large quantities of carbonate of lime.
(3) Natural calcium phosphates in a
finely ground state can be applied with
great benefit to soils consisting essen
TALLY of vegetable mold or very rich in.
organic matter.
(4 The natural phosphates of iron
and alumina are of much wider ap-
pllcation directly than the phosphates
of calcium.
TO THE FARMER.
1t has been seen from the data given
above that the actual cost of ordinary
phosphates at the mines is not quite
3d. so per ton. The question may then
be very properly asked, Why is the cost
of phosphates as used by the farmers so
high? The increased cost of the phos
pilates used as fertilizers arises chiefly
from three causes: First, the cost of
grinding the phosphate to fine powder;
second, the cost Of treating it with sui
phuric or phosphoric acid, in order to
render the phosphoric acid soluble; and
third, the cost Of transportation.
1t would be impossible to give any
rule which would fix the value of ton
of phosphate fertilizer. In many of
the states the bulletins on fertilizers
give the cost per pound of phOsphoric
acid present in any given sample.
This price, however, must necessarily
vary from year to year with the cost of
production, cost OF treatment, and cost
of transportation. In general it may be
said that at any considerable distance
from the mines the value OF available
phosphoric acid in a superphosphate is
about cents per pound.

Direct Application of Phosphates.

Experiments have been conducted in
this country and in Europe for many
years to determine the applicability of
natural phosphates in finely divided
state directly to the soil. The greatest
difference of opinion still exists in re-
gard to the availability of such phos-
pilates. From a great amount of data
which has been collected the following
exclusions may be safely drawn;

The Oaloosa Tobacco Farm.

lOOSdnaGCnoo river from EOrG myers,
exhibited samples Of the product of his
farm to various cigar manufacturers.
He received substantial encouragement.
and it is probable that his entire crop
will be sold in the State.
Mr. Lane has cured his tobacco by the
open air or Cuban plan, and has followed
every detail of the Cuban methods, both
in the cultivation and curing of the crop.
He used only the best Cuban seed. How
ever, his experience before coming to
Florida was confined to Connecticut and
his knowledge of the Cuban methods
was gained from what literature he could
obtain on the subject The first year he
planted five acres, the second fifteen,
his year twenty-five, and next year he
will put in fifty acres. The results o.
tanned each year have been an improve
ment on the year previous, and the 1895
crop, which is now being picked, he
considers probably the best ever raised
in the State. He is greatly pleased with
him 81 per pound all round, if not
more.
Mr.. Lane has obtained the best re.
suits from February planting, making
so far only enc crop each year. He
thinks, however, that two crops can be
grown, the second to be planted in O.
tober. But the same rules will not ap-
ply to all portions OF the State. For
instance, the rainy season-a very i'm
portant factor for consideration in to,
bacco culture-comme earlier and
lasts longer in Lee than in the middle
counties.
Mr.. Lane will be glad to have any one
interested in tobacco culture in South
Florida visit and inspect his plantation.
To such he will cheerfuliy explain his
methods Of cultivation and curing. He
has had no Cuban help so far, but has
depended solely on his Connecticut ex-
perience of twenty years and what he
has read Of the Cuban modes.
Before the late war there was grown
in this State variety of cigar leaf known
as the "Florida speckled beauty" the
cigars made from which were much
sought after by discriminating and
wealthy smokers. 1t was fine,
glossy leaf of silky texture, beautifully
marked, and of delicious aroma. But
during the war tobacco culture was al
most entirely suspended, and was not
revived on a scale OF any consequence
until within the past few years. The
"speckled beauty" variety, therefore,
has become very nearly extinct; but Mr..
Lane has obtained few seed and is at
tempting to reproduce the choice weed
which pleased the fancy of ante-bellum
nabobs. He has already been guaran-
teed by reliable manufacturers ready
sale at fancy prices for all Of it that ne
can grow.
While Mr.. Lanes attention is prinCi-
pally turned to tobacco culture, he is
also engaged largely in fruit growing.
In the spring he will set out a grove Of
$1,000 orange and grapefruit trees
