For some years to come the lovers or
Florida oranges VIII feast on them only in
IMAGINATION. Only in the extreme south
eyn part of the Florida peninsula VIII
there be any oranges this year-probADly
one or two hundred thousand boxes. a
Florida CORRESPONDENT OF the Country Cen
tleman saws that we hoped for several
months after the freeze Of last winter
that sprouts from the trunks OF the trees
would make good new trees, but the
trunks gradually died. and most Of the
sprouts withered and We know now that
only those sprouts from beneath the sur
face or from the collar 81 the tree can be
depended on to develop good new trees
Sixty years ago nearly all the trees In
Florida were killed, and the old pioneers
say that many of them did not sprout
until the next year. 1t Is expected that
the trees that are doing best Will begin
10 bear fruit in three years, provided the
winters should be mild and growth I'M
INTERRUPTED. Under favorable conditions
they may be expected TO yield paying
crops in five or six years.
No estimate can be made or the loss TO
the state, but IL will be large
A considerable percentage OF the
groves will be abandoned. Many OF
the growers are bankrupt, for their sole
dependence was upon their orange crops.
Grove property has greatly deprecated in
value.

Snarc the Young Trees.

There has been. II Is said. decided

ting out timber IN the forest regions OF
the White mountains OF New Hampsh"e'
The lumbermen there are beginning \"
realize that IL Is very unwise TO cut u"

Il Cuba "a second Texas:

In 1884. when they were in an almost
hcreless minority, the Democratic party
in national convention assembled dcclar-
cl for the annexation Of Texas. and on
that issue elected their nominee for PCS

the following. which we copy from 1osts
Weekly. but the substance Of which we
could find in a great many papers:

Cleveland is planning a surprise for the

Complaints come to the Dispatch that
many country postmasters allow visitors
to their Offices TO take possession Of the
newspapers that are addressed 10 other
persons. Cases have been reported 10 us
where subscribers have lost SO many
OF their papers, that in sheer despair,
they have cut OFF their subscriptions.
Surely postmasters ought to know their
business better. But where this PERM
cious practice is persisted In We advise
those who are sufferers thereby TO re-
port the facts directly TO the Postmaster
General. at Washington. He will put
stop TO IL very quickly, and subject the
postmaster to the pains and penalties
provided by law.

II looks as II the Democrats Of the
country were playing at cross purposes
when we read one day that the Demo-
Gratis Of a certain State have declared
for the free coinage OF silver at rauo
OF l6 TO /, and the next day that inc
Democrats Of a certain other state nave
declared for the single gold standard
II seems strange that the free-silver
Democrats do not recognize the fact
that the free coinage which they advo-
cate will never receive the endorsement
OF a Democratic national convention.
The Massachusetts Democratic State
Convention Just held at Worcester
made some deliverances which are worthy
OF the attention Of Democrats everywhere
They declare. for instance, for new
State bank system. We had on yesterday
an editorial on this subject. Some of
the advocates OF this new banking-sys-
TEN hope that the free-silvertes will
accept II as compromise and drop
their free-silver theories. But this hope
Is not wel-founded. The free-silverites
anu tnt SNhtt-udi4h advocates are iOl
the same party. Now we come TO the
Massachusetts, deliverances on the sub
ject OF the national finances. We quote:
l. We demand the maintenance OF
the existing gold standard OF value. and
that the government shall keep all its
Obligations at all times redesmable In
gold.
IL IL significant that this plank
speaks OF the existing gold standard
OF values. /, does not declare, like the
New York Dsmocnitlc platform. for
both gold and silver. We quote again:
2. We oppose the free coinage OF sill
yer. and any further purchase of sill
YER bullion on government account.
That Is plain enough: but there was
hardly any necessity for declaring
against the further purchase OF silver
bullion on government account"
Again We quote:
9. We reaffirm the demands OF ou'
platform OF last year, that the govern
ment shall not carry on a banking bus''
ness: that the unsaxed notes OF State or
national banks shall be the only credit
currency, and that the government shall
