The anti-spitting ordinance should not become a subject for ridicule, but rather for praise and enforcement. What has been accomplished in other communities can be done here. It certainly cannot be that there are pro- portionately fewer gentlemen in Sacra- mento than elsewhere. If, unfortunate ly, the ratio is smaller, however, they can be shamed into at least concealing their sickening Nvulgarity from the public eye.-Sacramento Bee.
 It is to be hoped that the numerous "spitters' in Phoenix are also gentle men and will not oblige the city to take action similar to that of Sacra- mento. Anti-spit ordinances do moi speak we'll for the cleanliness of 6 city's inhabitants, to say nothing oi manners.

The New Orleans Times Democrat Oem.) is ready to have the verdict car ried into effect. It says: We believe Democrats should support any reason able tariff or revenue bill presented by the Republicans; it would certainly be better to have the matter left to an ex- tra session, called as soon as McKin- ley is iuaugurated. The people have committed the control of the govern ment to the Republicans, and we be- lieye that the latter should assume full responsibility for it. A tariff bill framed by the Republicans, passed by a Republican congress and signed by { Republican president would more nearly express the popular demand than compromise measure, subject tt the changes that would be made by { mixed and doubtful senate and at thu mercy Of 6 Democratic president

He fought out of patriotism, while Gomez, so it is said, was hired for a year at a salary of $45,000. Gomez appears to have retired some time since, his contract having expired and now if Maceo has been killed, the Cubans are left without single well known leader. It is not too much to say that their cause becomes des- perate. But although the identifica- tion of the leader found dead on the battlefield as Maceo seems to be reas- onably complete, there is still a chance of mistake, and it is to be hoped that it may be found the brave Maceo stil lives.

Amid all this Cuban uproar the voice Of Henry Cabot Lodge is not heard. II was Henry who was doing most of the mouth fighting in favor of Cuba during the last congress. Wicked eastern papers say this late silence is due to the fact that the literary sen ator from the old bay state wants MT Bayard's job, and to be acceptable to the court of St. James, the less man has to say about the American eagle the better

Recent comments in eastern news papers indicate that the public protest in New York against Tom Platt for United States senator is so strong that he is seriously hesitating whether he shall brave it by taking the office. No body seems to question that he can have the office if he wants it, but many believe it would end his boss ship, and Platt himself may have some fear of such a result

A preliminary step of considerable importance toward the consolidation of the Central American republics has been taken in the cancellation of the e1equaturs of the consuls representing the three republics of Salvador, Hon. duras and Nicaragua. Joint represen- tatjves for the greater republic of Cen tral America have been appointed at New York, San Francisco, Detroit, New Orleans and Panama, and the re- suit will be, or ought to be, a marked saving. But whether the three states interested will ever combine in a stable union is an open question.

Mr. Cleveland is still of the opinion that the present tariff bill is capable of producing all the needed revenue. If that deficit meant that his salary wasn't paid, and if it couldn't be. till Uncle Sam was provided with more income, MT. Cleveland might take a different view of the matter.

The present war in Cuba has added $500, 900 to the public debt of Spain, and the increase is still going on at the rate of S12,O0O,000 month. The ques- tion which this condition suggests is not as to low long Spain can float, but as to how deep she will sink when the rope breaks.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits
 Nine reasons why Ayers Sarsaparil- la should be taken in preference to any other blood purifier: 1st The drugs from which it is made are the most carefully selected. 2d. They are combined in such scientific propor- tions that they may always be depend ed upon for successful results 3d. It is a concentrated extract, only small doses being required. 4th. It is perfect ly safe, either for young or old. 5th. Ii acts upon the blood more speedily than any other blood purifier. 9th. It cures disease by removing the conditions which make sickness possible, and therefore cures permanently. 7th. This remedy has a well-known scientific value and it's formula is familiar tc scientific men. Sth. It has been before the public for half century. Drug gists and physicians recommend ii and employ it in their practice. 9th It was the only Sarsaparilla admitted at the worlds fair. It stands first. |

It is often a mystery how a cold has been caught" The fact is, however, that when the blood is poor and the system depressed, one becomes pc culiarly liable to diseases. When the appetite or the strength fails, Ayers Sarsaparilla should be taken without delay.

THEY WILL PULL THROUGH.

We have no fear that the people of
Florida-even those in the afflicted orange
belt-will suffer for food or the necessities
of life during the next few years. but at
the same time we appreciate the fact that
it will be pretty hard scratching for some
of them, for the reason that they have
heretofore been Indifferent as to the capa
bilities of their soil, and are at present
ignorent of what can be produced in their
immediate section.
AS time advances, however, they will
learn from experience. Many of them
have already made preparations for cult
waiting general feed crops during the COM
ing season. Large areas of corn, cotton,
tobacco, rice, sweet potatoes. forage crops,
ETC.. will be planted. While the growers.
under the existing conditions cannot find a
profitable market for much of his produce
beyond the borders of the State, he can
sell some of it at home and the balance
can be used to advantage on his place.
Of course we will hear of many failures,
and there will be much discouragment, but
nothing more could be expected from
people who are embarking in a new under
taking, but eventually as they learn the
better methods of handling their crops
these failures will decrease in number.

GOOD INVESTMENTS.

To the average man who knows nothing
of the remarkable vitality of the orange
tree, or how quickly it responds to proper
treatment, it would seem reckless extrava
gance to invest capital in Florida orange
groves at this time, but notwithstanding
this opinion, considerable Northern capital
just now is being invested in what were
termed frozen" groves year ago. We
do not mean to imply that they were not
frozen. Of course the amount of money
paid for this property is small compared
with what it was worth and would have
sold for before the freeze, still the prices
paid would be surprise to the stranger
who knew nothing of orange trees and
orange culture.
Many people who have money to invest
have duly considered the ups and downs of
the orange business, and have concluded
that it would pay we'll to buy these
damaged groves and remake them Many
such groves can be secured at price lnsig
ni6cant with their real worth for the reason
that the owners are unable to give the
necessary care and attention to the trees.
and rather than lose all they are willing to
part with what is left at very low price.
When the so-called orange craze started
in Florida something less than twenty
years ago, those who embarked in the
industry misjudged their capabilities.
They reasoned that if an orange tree was
good thing to have it was still better to
have several hundred, They consequently
over,reached themselves and planted too
many trees. 1t was constant struggle to
keep the groves in proper condition, for

prenensive report. The names already
mentioned afford guarantee that the work
would be we'll done. Prof. Sargent is the
first authority in this country upon the
general subject of arboriculture. Among
those named as his associates are Mr..
Pinchot, who is perhaps the only American
who has had thorough training in the
European schools of forestry. Gen. Abb
bolt, formerly of the engineers. has paid
special attention to the influence of defor-
estation upon the navigableness of rivers.
The other men named are of equally high
character, and it is clear that every mem
Der of the commission has been selected
exclusively on sciel tiffc grounds. From
such body we may safely expect report
that will be an adequate and comprehen-
slve basis for legislation.

they soon discovered that the making of
an orange grove was both tedious. laborious
and expensive. When the freeze of 'o5
came the result was inevitable-the grow
ers could not longer continue the struggle
with no chance of revenue from their
groves for several years. hence they were
obliged to either sell at sacrifice or aban
don. Of course this by no means refers to
all the groves, but to many of them.
Capitalists have not been slow to snap
up these bargains, and while there has
been no boom in frozen groves" quito
number have changed hands, and we think
the purchasers in every case will find the
investments profitable.

should develop into an agency that would
be of vast benefit to the people of Florida
We are pleased to note that the work o.

and consequently more beneficial to the
soil tillers of Florida.
In its review of the work of the station
the Citizen says:
Experiment work on the farm at Lake
City has been conducted during the las
three years and will continue for some
time to come mainly in the line of crop:
for feeding animals. either forage crops O,
root crops. Some attention is given te
grasses, several OF the millets, teosinte
several sorghums, sugar cane. beggal
weed, cow peas, prickly comfrey, fatpea OF
Lathyrus silvestris. sacaline. and varietie:
of Indian corn. Among the root crop.
grown for feed for stock are sweet potatoes
peanuts, chufas. gubers. cassava, taro OF
tanyah. Chinese yam and sugar beets. Ir
addition to the above experiments are II

corn, in order to learn which are bes
adapted to this climate, and with differen
varieties of Irish potatoes and sweet pota
toes for the same purpose
Experiments are in progress with thu
feeding of swine. For this purpose the
station has fine herd of Jersey red swine
At suitable times different lots of swine
have been fed on sweet potatoes, cassava

The Department of Biology and Horti
culture at Lake City, P H. Rolls, pro.
fessor, and A. L. Quaintance, assistant,
has issued five bulletins. aggregating 200
pages Of matter. The favor with which
these are received is evinced by the great
number of complimentary letters that have
been received, and by the great number of
requests for them. These bulletins are
issued free to all people of the State and
can be had by applying to the director Of

lover 1000 specimens of plants have
been added to the herbarium during the
last year. Most of these we're collected
near Lake City, consequently they are
Florida plants, while others we're obtained
by exchanging. The herbarium is being
put into working shape rapidly, and will
form a valuable addition to the experiment
station. It is the desire of those in charge
that every plant of che State, introduced
or native. shall be represented.
The work of testing different varieties
of vegetables and taking careful notes upon
them has been carried on at Lake City for
several years, and will be continued
These notes are valuable only as they
record the successes and failures of several
consecutive years. and consequently no
report will be made until definite informa-
ton is at hand. To know what varieties
will not succeed is quite as important as
to know which ones will, Many vegetables
