but first-rate line of goods would be
canned by those having the business in
hand. No sensible farmer or fruit
grower would think of trying to palm
off an inferior article. The supply of
first-class goods is one of Florida's i'm
mense advantages, and would never fail
to be equal to any demand.
The canning business is by no means
confined to fruits and vegetables, We
have as fine fish and oysters as are to be
found in any other portion of the world
and have them in abundance, with the
advantage of having the entire year
during which these operations can be
carried on. Just as certain as lmmigra-
ton continues to pour into the South, so
will the future supply Of all kinds of
frst-class canned goods flow out of Flor
ida to all sections of the United States
if not to Europe.
There is scarcely an article canned in
commerce that may not be produced in
abundance in Florida, During the sum-
mer and fall seasons, when our cattle are
fat and sleek, and when the flavor of
our beef is equal to any imported, is the
time when this article should be canned,
at least for home or domestic use, If not
for shipment abroad. That Mr.. Armour
and other dealers from the West should
virtually hold monopoly of trade among
Florida merchants and grocers in canned
beef, when we have frst-class supply
of meat cattle at home, which might be
slaughtered, cooked and put up in cans
equally as good, is reproach to our
present methods of farming Of every
class In Florida. The notion that farm
ers and fruit growers in this State
should confine their attention to raising
only such crops as cannot be grown else
where is humbug and a delusion. We
are not only able to be first in the mar
kets with vegetables, but we have facili-
ties for holding our own with any State
in the Union in nearly every species Of
crops known to agriculture, while in
citrus and other rare fruits, we have
more than a balance of power-in fact,
we command the situation. 1t is not
presumptuous to declare that in some
respects the canning business is only in
it's infancy. In making this declaration
we do not lose sight of the enormous
extent to which 1T is at present carried
on in all parts of the world, Why Flor
ida should remain so far behind in an
enterprise having such immense posi-
bilities all about us is question that
needs nothing but capital and pluck to
solve, and also to push it rapidly to the
fore.
In addition to the North and home
supply, we have the Central and South
American States for market. Over
production is hardly possible under such
conditions. Therefore, from a practical
business view, we see many cogent rea-
sons why canning factories should be
started at the earliest convenience in all
centrally located towns aud cities IN
Florida. Those first IN the field will be
first to harvest reward for their enter
prise.-W. @. Crum in Florida Home

No Canals on Mars.

At the regular monthly meeting of the section uf astronomy and physics of the New York Academy of Sciences, Professors Rees and Jacoby and Charles Post read papers attacking the alleged discoveries of lines and eanals on the planet Murg. The attaeks were prinei- pally directed against Pereival Lowell of Boston, who while st Flagstaff, 4. T., elaimed to have seen the same lines and canals discovered on the planet by signar Sehiaparelh in Italy. After the reading thers WAS general discussion, and the conclusion arrived at was that these people were roIAaneers and not as tronemers.

 Daptain Oolley makes the following statement;
 s'Our voyage was 2 stormy one from the first. and the ship was soon driven from her course and began to leak. We were not allxioas for onr safety until we got within 95 miles of Queenstown, on Nov. IT, when the ship encountered terrific gale. with tremendous seas, which swept her decks and stove md carried off her bulwarks and 6eekhouse. The ship was then leakiag badly and taking water very fast
 The crew manned the pumps con etantly in the effort to save our lives. The water continued to gain. however. and on Nov 19 the water in the hold was ten feet de0n. h the meantime one man had fallen overheard and was drowned. On Nov. l 9 we got out the longboat and towed her astern. Three sea1nen and the second officer were in tho boat. The high seas caused the beat l to plunge so violently that 1t became necessary to cut the painter to prevent ger from swamping. The boat WIS with mt oars and was provided with neither bod Dor water When the painter WAS ,ut, the boat drifted away into the dark less, and ] immediately had another ,oat lowered, manned by the first and hird officers and five men, provided with flashlights to search far her
 The Belle Q 'BIien watched for hours er the return of the boats, but we saw leither of them again. Soon another ale sprang up, and the pumps became cry difficult to work on account of the ,rain in the hold choking them. AS the water gained. the grain continued to well until it hulged the blanks on the ihip'8 sides and heaved her decks. Ne lid not relax our desperate efforts to 1eep the ship afoat until we were sight sa and picked up by the Rosemorran. D |

special dispatch from Washington
saws that the United States Supreme
Court in the income tax case has reversed
the decision of the lower court The
income tax law as = whole Is upheld, but
only by n divided court. Two important
portions Of the law, however. have been
decided to be unconstitutional. anu they
are so serious as to affect materially not
only the revenues of the GOvtrnment. bur
the estimation in which the income tax
will be held by the people. Under the de-
cision. as reported. all incomes derived
from rents are exempted from taxation
by the Federal Government and all in
comes derived from State and muhlcipal
bonds are similarly exempted. In other
RESPECTS the income tax stands n IL WAS
passed last August, but the result oil inc
consultations in the supreme Court shows
very conclusively that the law can easily
be picked to pieces. provided saits are
brought to contest ea ia particular point
as il comes UP.
If Is curious fact but none the less
true. that the law which was passed az
the dictation OF the Populists has been
distorted 10y the decision of the nlted
States Supreme Court in such 4 wa! 'haI
il will absolutely protect the class ol cail-
taIists most offensive TO the Iopullsuc
element. The landlords of the country
will nav no income tax. The owners or
bonds of almost any kind. either Federal

facturer and the salaried empioye VIII,
for tho nresent at least. be compelled TO
contribute TO the treasury OF the United
States Government per cent. OF all IN
comes in excess of 1000 per annum.
The decision of the Supreme Court is
matter of deep annoyance. COLLECTION
of the tax has begun; the government
budget was made out with regard TO the
$40 OOO. 600 or S40.000OO0 expected TO be
derived from this source. The exemption
of great fortunes and great estates. the
sweeping away of large part OF the eX-

II is said that one learned justice even
attempted to "legislate" building associa-

The first meeting of the Supreme Court
was held March 16, two days after the
conclusion of the argument, but no de-
cision was reached. and it was not until
March 80 that they succeeded in agreeing
upon the outlines OF n decision covering
the opinion of the lower court. The
court was evenly divided. Justice Jack
