The Speaker Talks.
Charleston News and Courier Oem.).

Speaker Crisp reached New York last
Saturday on his return home from trip
to Europe. He would not speak definitely
on the silver question, but went so far
as to say that English capitalists are
fast buying up American bonds" and
that William c. Whitney. a sound money
man who has never fiirted with the free
silver folly, would be "a most desirable
candidate" for President lat the present
juncture." We do not know how such
talk as this viii suit the free silver
cranks in Georgia, but as it is sensible
talk and shows that Mr.; Crisp learned
a good deal when he was abroad, they will
probably want to make him quit the
party. Speaking of BENJAMIN Harrison
said: MIR. Harrison is good, but l am not
in favor of a second term for any
one" Mr.. Crisp should have qualified his
statement to the extent of saying that he
meant. of course. a second term in the
Office of President. A second or third
or an indefinite number of terms as
speaker are not "agin the law and prece-
dent. But # a speaker should be eligible
for more than one term, why not Presi-
dent?

Florida Orange Trees Prescribed.

Florida Orange Trees Prescribed.
The governor of Jamaica has establish
ed quarantine against orange trees
from Florida. He will not permit them
to be transported to and transplanted on
that island. Somebody, it is alleged
told him that there is an infectious and
fatal disease among the Florida orange
trees, and he has taken steps to guard
the jamaica trees against possible con-
tamination.
Nobody in Florida knows of any dis
ease from which the orange trees
of that state are suffering. 1t
is a fact that thousands of
them that were alive and hourishing
year ago are as dead as julius Caesar
nowi They were frozen to death, but
cold is not an infectious or contagious dis
ease. The trees that were not hurt by
the cold are as healthy and vigorous as
if they never experienced an exception
ally low temperature, and the oranges
they viii produce this year viii be the
finest in the world; that is to say typical
Florida oranges.
1t is probably the case that the Florida
orange trees are the victims of some
thing like the Texas cattle fever"
which Germany said not long ago made
American beef unwholesome for con-
sumption in Germany. Millions OF
Americans were eating it at the time,
and found it very good and healthful
food, The trouble with it appears tolhave
been that it was better than the German
product and could be sold at less price,
hence the fever" story and the proscrip-
ton. Florida oranges are better than
Jamaica oranges, and the governor of
that island may be fearful that if he
were to permit of the importation of
Florida trees and fruit 1t would give
| Florida oranges a boom, to the injury
of the native fruit That is one way of
looking at it. and no other reasonable
! explanation of Jamaica's hostility to
Florida orange trees is apparent just
now. The governor is certainly not
afraid the Importation of the trees would
infect the island with cold waves and
| chilblains.

just a Pinch of Humanity.

A pinch of humanity raised a fragile
hand in Fourth avenue late yesterday af-
ternOOn and a conductor rang for the
stopping of a Madison and Fourth ave-
nue. car, says the New York Times. A
four-foot man, with a package on which
suspicious eyes would be cast in a prOhi-
bition town, made frantic clutches at the
graD-rail of the car, and finally fell with
his bundle across the feet of the conduc-
tor.
"why didn't you stop?' he painted, as he
flashed indignant eyes at the bell-ringer.
You're too fresh and I'll fight you when
we get down to Broome street" The con-
ductor said "Bosh! Go sit down." He
weighed 2O9A pounds. The pinch of hu-
manity would not harm the largest scales
an apothecary ever had.

| tie fellow. Il know my rights, and I'll
fight you when we get to a quiet place"
The pinch went into the car and sat
down between two women who. before his
advent, had been taking to each other.
He couldn't keep still and every few sec
onds would square himself into a fight
ing attitude and squeal at the conductor:
You're fresh! I'll fight you in a few min
utes.'
This went on until the car was nearing
Broome street.-The chosen battle-ground of
the pinch The little fellow got up and,
crossing the car, squeezed himself into a
seat beside man who was talking to a
woman.
Say he said, huslSily, "do you want
| to see fight? Watch mel I'm going to do
| it now. VIII you be a witness? Give me

about it in court, tomorrow"

The pinch ran to the rear platform and

| said:
| Mr.. Conductor, you're too fresh I'm

His right arm had swung as much as

The oldest specimen Of a soldier I ever

Lewiston Journal reporter. was Private
JACK Scudder, member Of nay company
when ] was a Lieutenant, during the nrst
year OF the war Jack was a stubby lit
tie chap, illterate and satisfied with it.
We were doing Virginia in those days and
hghting was frequent, and l noticed that
whenever there was a skirmish anywhere
IN sight Jack was likely to be there
"One day, after we had been at IL for
several months. about twenty of our men
were caught on a rocky knoll by d bat
talon OF cavalry from the other size, and
there was shooting at once, but bur men
couiun I stand the odds, ana out OF their
hiding places they came and away they

hid up among the powders and kept
right on with his fireworks.
The cavalrymen couldn't get up to him
without dismounting, and he banged away
with such fatal results at one or two VINO

new start, Jack in the meantime dropping
one or two more Of them, and firing so
fast that they couldn't tell just how many
men might be up there 10 meet them in
case they made an assault.
While they were dallying about 1t a
regiment Of bluecoats hove IN sight, ana
the battalion of gray skedaddled. and
Jack came down to meet his rescuers.
Everybody had seen the fight, and when
Jack got back to camp he was the hero OF
the hour, and was for making corporal
of him.
Il called him up to have a little private
talk with him before taking active meas
ures in his behalf, and ne routed me worse
than he had routed the enemy
% Are you aware, Jack, said l, that
you did a very brave thing in that fight
this afternoon?
What fight, lieutenant? he responded
Don't be so modest, said l, you
know what fight

That's all right, Jack. said 1, getting

rewarded for it,

" You didn't run away when the others
did, when you would have been perfectly

DisprOves Its own Assertions.
From the Nashville American Dem).

One of the favorite arguments of the
silver calamity shriekers is that the rich
are rapidly acquiring the land of the
country and that individual farms are be-
ing merged into big ones. The New Or
leans Times Democrat, silver paper, in
its recent trade edition demonstrated the
falsity of this assertion, so far as the
south Is concerned In 1880 there were
!, 726 $50 farms while in 1895 there are 2,402,-
go, or an increase of nearly 100000 farms.
The Times Democrat also shows that in
these fifteen years, southern, capital in
manufactures has trebled, the number
of workmen has more than doubled, and
wages have more than trebled. Calamity
shriekers will please take notice.
