The Snobbery of the Courts.

Mr.. William X. Vanderbilt and wife
have been enjoying divorce suit be-
hind barred doors. 1t is not surpris-
ing that the vulgar rich should seek to
hide what is unsavory in their lives
from the common herd. The doing so
surrounds them with an air of exclu-
siveness very gratifying to their feel
ings, and brands them as superior
class. whose lives and actions are not
proper targets for the criticism of an
undiscriminating public.
Both William X. Vanderbilt and his
ex-wife would be surprised could they
know how little the public really cares
for their domestic happenings. They
| receive only passing attention from
| the great mass of the common people,
| who do not greatly care to know
whether Mr.. Vanderbilt boxed the
ears of his wife Or threw a sofa cush-
| ion at her while upon that yachting
| cruise. 1t is a matter of Indifference
| to them as to whether Mrs. Vanderbilt
| became insanely jealous of Nellie
Nuestretter or a llatto housemaid,
but they are likely to become very
considerably exercised about the meth
cd by which these two people were
legally separated.
The Constitution provides for an
| open court, whose acts and records
are to be exposed to the purifying
breeze o. public opinion and general
criticism; but it seems that Judge Bar
ret does not hold that kind of a court,
| when the parties are rich enough to
make it worth his while not to do SO.
No man can tell whether his acts and
| the acts of his referee in the Wander
bilt case were meritorious or meretri-
cious, for no man outside of the select
few present at these star chamber pro-
ceedings knows what they were. The
may have been of the most reprehen-
sible character; they may have been
in violation of every principle of law
or decency; yet, if he can have his
| way, the public will never be permit
! ted to pass upon them. The doors
were not only closed, but the petition,
the evidence, and every other paper
| calculated to disclose the facts, were
| sealed up, and should any court Of
| ficer so far forget himaelf as to per-
NIT a thorough examination of the
records, he would undoubtedly be
thrown into prison an indefinite length
of time, as punishment for s.contempt
of court" From the shreds of infor-
nation that have found their way
| through the crevices of the referees
| court of Star Chamber, there is more
| than a hint at collision between the
| parties, and the referee simply record
ed an agreement between them. How
| ever much our stock-water aristocracy
| may desire that their unsavOry lives
should be kept from the publ; eye,
| they cannot be allowed to seal up the
| records of our courts and remove the
official acts of our judges and other
court officers from public observation,
without protest.

The similarity between the editor
ial page of the Potosi independent OF
February 2Sth. and that of the Clay ton
argus of March 1st, is so pronounced
that it will be difficult to escape the
conclusion that each paper is edited
by the same party. The question that
presents itself, and it is one of moment.
is, to which editor should articles like
the following be attributed for they
appeared in each paper without being
credited:
The new editor of the St. Louis
"P-D." is doing big sums in arith-
metic to show that President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle have been
buncoed by the gold brick men.
We shall insist. when Silver Dick
Bland goes lecturing out in Colorado
that he wear a pen-tailed coat and en-
hibit panoramic view of his new
party. to include Jerry Simpson, Pen
meyer and old Waite.
1t requires brain by the bushel to
originate paragraphs of this kind. and
the right party should receive the
crecit for them. We have, up to a
few days ago, comforted ourself with
the assurance that they were scintil-
lations from the bright man of the In
dependent, but now we scarcely know
where we are at. The people of our
neighboring county of Washington
have no doubt frequently congratulate
ed themselves upon the possession of a
paper with an editor of SO much bril-
liance-who could sock it to silver az
ter the most approved methods OF
Wall Street, aud with diction so
splendid as to make the mother tongue
thrill with delight at every Issue.
Has their confidence been misplaced?
Have they been admiring patent out
side? Is the editorial page they have
delighted in merely foreign importa-
ton? The idea is not to be entertain
ed. 1t is either case of intellectual
Slamise Twins, or the Argus consents,
like the moon, to shine by reflected
light. Again, if Editor Jones of the

THE Republic is vigorously advocat-
ing bimetalism again. 1t says ''eyen
the Rothschilds believe that the use of
of silver as a money of full account
should be extended" Germany is be-
ginning to talk bimetalism." "a BIZ
metallic party Is gathering force in
England"
The United States are not called up
on to await movements in England.
France and Germany. We have await
ed, attended conferences, and hoped
for results to come through interna-
tional corporation. We should fix
our own free coinage of gold and sill
ver Then we would be able to await
Europe's agreement with a comfortable
feeling. that we had done the best for
ourselves.
This last clause sounds like genuine
bimetalism, but further on it lets the
cat out of the Gag:
If the bad judgment prevails of fore
ing the test here in America between
gold monometallism and silver mono
metallism, it is almost certain that the
gold standard will remain. 1t Is in
possession and the one chance of its
dislodgment lies in harmony of all
friends of silver.
We can neither take advantage of
the growing sentiment in Europe nor
effect practical bimetallism of our
own as long as free coinage is constru-
ed to mean sudden fall to another
form of recommendation. Advocacy OF
a monometallic silver standard is,
therefore, nothing less than labor for
gold monometallism.
1t will be found that any proposition
to restore silver to it's former position
will be denounced by the Republic as
..silver monometallism," and that the
harmonious action of the friends OF
silver will have to include Wall Street
and the Rothschilds to gain the Re
pubhe.s support. The Republic, in
common with other goldbug organs, is
exerting itself to delay action on the
silver question, expecting the agita-
ton to subside in the course of time.
1t was an ardent advocate of the re-
cent bond steal, and will favor those
vet to come. 1t wants a Free Coinage
that will never coin a silver dollar at
any ratio. 1t is like the old farmer
who condemned demonstrating in the
abstract. but did not want the stolen
horse restored to its proper owner.

shipped with attendant loss? A very
clear cut discrimination is called for.
An excellent grade of product may pay
to ship while an in different one will only
be attended with loss. An early or ex.
ira early product may pay, while as
good quality ten days or fortnight
later will bring nothing in return. 1t
is at best rather precarious sort of
husbandry and while few growers will
obtain such large returns it will cause
others to venture forth in the same field
with the probabilities quite against
them. This then is the situation as to
fruit and vegetable growing for ship
ment to Northern markets. All those
who may desire to try this line of secur-
ing livelihood should dose understand
ingly-it promises much of anxious care
and no small measure of uncertainty.
Five men will fail to secure a decent
| living where one will succeed yet it
will entice thousands. Transportation
companies will be the real gamers for
even under fair railroad commission
they will be granted remunerative rates
and sure pay.
Thus far we have not referred to the
difficulties of growing fruit or vegetable
crops; the ravages of insects, parasites,
killing frosts, blight of pear trees, of
tomatoes, of potatoes, drouths, wind
storms, ETC., as these same drawbacks
are met with elsewhere in greater or
lesser degree. Outside this wide range |
of crops from which to select some
fairly compromising line upon which to
rely we have the fibre plants SO we'll
adapted to our soil and climate, SO largely |
called for and so little grown. Our
former ideas of fortune in fruit, or in
vegetable growing have met with seri
Gus blow AND now we haye TO confront
new order of things, the first of which
is the acceptance Of small margin Of
compensation beyond the absolute nee
essary outlay for growing such crop
or crops as we NAV choose to adopt.
This is more nearly as 1T should be
for our best interests and solid ground
to stand upon. The less of lottery bust
ness there is to husbandry the better for
all concerned.
Turning then to a broader field Of
tillage in which wide range Of cropping
is laid out before us we can find study
we'll worthy full grown man. We Can
elect to diversity our lines of husbandry
or to select that which we may under
derstand, or like best constantly bearing
in mind that all perishable products
and very bulky ones are to be regarded
with less favor for the reason of high
| transportation rates with the difficulty
of reaching distant market in &C
ceptable condition.
| If this recital looks too discouraging,
all we can state additional is simply
this: are matters whit better in other
and so-called favored locations AS
suredly they are not. What then shall
we do? Being put to our mettle we
must do our best without finching or
wavering, nor yet slow of heart. Sup

For the Florida Agrcultur1st.
What Can We Grow in Florida That Will
Pay2
Presumably this question has been
asked thousand times but others still
are making the same inquiry. Fresh
developments are largely modifying
former answers and the best conclusions
we have hitherto been able to make are
not fully satisfactory.
To state that the whole matter is yet
in an experimental stage and definite
be rather weak response, and only
tend to a real distrust as to whether any
line of crops will pay. If, after fifty
years of fairly good settlement and
varied tillage, we have not reached some
we'll grounded ideas as to what kinds of
crops compensate for their growing, it
were a poor showing indeed for all our
boasted claims Of agricultural progress,
or the ada ptation Of Florida for home
land. Suppose it stands proved that it
no longer pays to grow cotton or cOchi-
taken their place? Suppose it pays but
poorly to grow corn or pork, wool or
mutton, beef or dairy products, poultry,
eggs, cattle, horses, hay ETC., are these
common products elsewhere grown
more advantageOuSly when a due regard
for home prices are considered? The
writer has grown thousands of gallons
of milk in New Jersey at 10 cents per
gallon and there are others doing this
same thing today, while here in Florida
twice that sum is obtainable. Thus it
is with a score Of products; nearly or
quite twice as much in price is obtain
able here as is within the reach of grow
ers elsewhere for the same.
However our home market is but a
very limited one and in this respect
differs from many others. Until that
home demand is supplied prices are sure
to favor the home grower. This allows
US to forecast the adyantage-if such
there be-of growing crops for home
demand instead of those to send afar off
to other m arkets.
When we tlke in proper consideration
that all lines of crops which we may
seek to grow for distant markets must
first pay package expenditure, then a
freight or express charge and then a
commission dealers percentage for sale
OF same, it becomes a pretty clear case
of heavy cost to be deducted from the
market price obtainable. The grower
has to confront this state of things no
matter how serious the condition may
prove to be. He can commonly realize
but little for his products as net re
suit. Thousands of packages of fruits
and vegetables are sent out Of the State
each year that never pay for package
outlay beside the transportation and
commission charges. Now the question

ing it's strength, color, or gloss. Then
the new enterprise giving employment
to home labor and activity to domestic
capital, will quicken the revival of our
languishing industries, aid the South
in retaining it's material prosperity, and
enrich the nation by the economy of
millions which have heretofore been
paid to foreign lands.
