The Writer has just returned from a nasty trip through Florida Only a cursory glance at the State is obtained by less than weeks stay but enough was seen to draw an imperfect picture of the status of affairs in our sister State. Florida is still the Hand of flowers" for the roses, jassamines and myriads of their kindred blossoms still sweetly bloom, lending enchantment affordtng ,sweet aromas land cheering the traveller on his way. But the orange blossom is not there now. The cold of the past winter blasts has robbed the garden of this one flower. and millions of leafless, lifeless trees tell the story of desolation and vividly portray the great loss sustained by the orange growers of Florida. The story has been often told, and. now careful estimates place the loss to Florida by the freeze at about $53.OOOOO0.
 Yet with all this loss, Floridians are not without hope They are a wonder full people, blessed with indomitable will, and with such a climate and soil capable of yielding such a diversity of marketable products they have taken off their coats for more extensive truck gardening, and will live busily while they await patiently the work of nature in restoring to them the losses sustained by the severe winter just past.

 With the revival of the interest in steel making comes a reminder of Sir: Henry Bessemer of England, the in-. ventor of the Bessemer process. He is now an old man of S3, and is very modest and retiring Strange to say the British manufacturers did all they could at one time to crush out the inventor and his. Bessemer steel; but fortunately they failed. z Other nations have recognized his services and showered honors upon him. The Bessemer process has revo- lutionized steel making. Before the Besz semer process came into use steel could not be bought for less than $250 ton.| Of course its use was confined to a few, manufactures in which it was essential. At that time very little steel was pro- duced; now the production amounts to 33,000 tons day, and the price has been reduced to about $40 a ton. The Besse- mer process has worked this change. Steel is now used wherever toughness and durability is desired. In the building of ships and bridges and in the making of girders for buildings, in locomotives, rails, steam boilers of all kinds steel is now universally used. Krupp, the great gun maker, uses the Bessemer steel. The British government conferred upon Sir Henry Bessemer the honor of knight hood, and in 1880 he was given the free dom of the city of London. Americans have also shown their respect for this

Now comes Judge and exhibits the same difference between it's editor and it's cartoonist. The editor has been camoring for high protection in season and out of season, but the iconoclastic cartoonist destroys the labor of years by one cartoon in the last issue.

soUTHRRN COMING sTATIoN.

Secretary Herbert has sent several of his Warships scurrying down to Nica- ragua to protect the Nicaragua canal and look after American interests gen erally. Now suppose our vessels should get in scrap with the British vessels, why Great Britain's first act would be to close up the coaling stations in south ern waters, for she owns nearly all of them, and the neutral stations would be closed up by their respective nations, as is always done in time of war Then what would our cruisers do? They would be as helpless as a painted ship on a painted ocean. for the navy has now dispensed with sails and depends upon steam altogether. What is the lesson of this possible state of affairs? Evidently that this country should have coaling stations in the gulf of Mexico and the Carabean sea, and should keep them stocked with Alabama coal. This would prevent our navy from being caught in a trap in time of war, and in time of peace it would prove a good stroke of economy. The navy has paid s15 a ton for coal at Colon, when it could have obtained the Birmingham coal at one-half that price. The south ern. countries seem to be the storm center of disturbance, and it is prob able that several cruisers must be kept in southern waters for some time. If the government owned coaling stations it would save the duty levied by those norts from which our vessels obtain their coal Coaling stations are an ab- solute necessity.

MT. Warner Miller, president of the Nicaragua Canal company. is positive that the United States would not permit Great Britain to interfere in the Nica- ragua canal MT. Miller is doubtless correct in this position. Great Britain knows full well that she must hands off when it comes to the canal Sir Ed ward Grey admits that much. In the House of Commons the other day he saiG 'The British government was fully sensible of the great importance of the Nicaragua canal, and in the event of the canal enterprise being undertaken by the American government would take care that British trade and com merce received as favorable terms as those accorded to other nations" This statement implies that the British gov ernment does not propose to take part in the building of the canal, and only desires as favorable terms for British commerce as are accorded to other na- tions or course there will be no dis elimination against Great Britain. This statement of Sir Edward Grey also means that the present dispute of Great Britain with Nicaragua has nothing to do with the canal.

The Daily state classes the Age-Her-

The Daily State classes the Age-Her- aid with itself under the head of bimetal- lie newspapers. Yet the Daily State ad- vocates the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United States, independent of other gov ernments, while the Age-Herald holds that the ratio adopted must be one that will maintain the parity of the two metals, and favors an international con ference. The position of the Daily State leads to silver monometallism, while that of the Age-Hcrald is true bimetallism.
 The silver monometallists insist that they are bimetallists, but their chief con- tention proves their claim to be false. They declare that the government must coin silver at given ratio. namely. 16 to l. On the other hand the true bimetal- list docs not fix any ratio. He believes in allowing the memorable law of supply and demand have its way This is the law that determines the value of gold and silver. The bimetallist does not be- lieve in force. He would not force a man to take more or less of a thing for a given amount>of any other thing than he pleascs to give or take.
