An Ina,an outrage.

The HERALD gave an account last week
OF the arrest OF three Indians for robbing
and assaulting Addie Shuster, a squaw.
The examination on Friday, before U. s.
Commissioner Henton, developed that
the crime was even more serious than
was reported. The squaw, who is above
the average In appearance, gave her
testimony In clear and convincing man
ner and she was corroborated by one of
the prisoners who took no part In the
outrage beyond being an unprotesting on
locker. The Indians had evidently been
watching the dusky Addie and knew that
she had money realized from the sale of
horse, for when they stopped her on
the border Of the reservation and ,she
protested that she had only so cents,
they pulled her from her cayuse and re.
iieyed her Of $40 gold piece and so
cents In silver. Two of the Indians then
assaulted her, each in turn holding her
arms and stopping her screams while the
other satisfied his lust. They then made
her promise not to speak OF what had
happened under threat of death.
Two of the Indians, Samuel Quatet
a nd Johnny Walss were bound over to
the federal court in the sum OF $1,000
each; the other was discharged. Guam

Until the crisis is past, however, the dis
cussion of orange culture, and the expound-
ing of methods and ideas, which has here
tofore been such popular feature of the
AGR1cULrUR1sr is held in allegiance.
We deny the charge of inconsistency
and while we admit that our columns have
during the past twenty years or more been
filled with matters pertaining to orange
groves, we have never neglected the oppor-
tunity of pointing out to our readers the
danger of devoting their entire attention to
one crop, and the folly of not developing
many of the then land stilN dormant re-
sources of the country.
Our efforts to turn the attention of our
people to the matter of diversified agricul-
ture were not entirely barren of results.
and we have noted with pleasure the in
crease from year to year of the acreage
devoted to what is known as general crops.
An agricultural paper is what the agri-
cultural people of country make it. If
it's constituency devotes its entire attention
to one crop or industry, its columns will
naturally be filled with matters pertaining
to that especial line.
The AGR1cULTURIsT has not given up
orange culture by any means; like the
growers of Florida it is waiting. When the
proper time arrives the old discussion
will be resumed and through our columns
the most advanced horticulturists of the
day will ventilate their ideas.

STRONG FAITH AND NERVE.

Of course some orange growers in Flor
ida are discouraged and going about the
business of rebuilding" their groves in a
half hearted way. Still others have given
up the fight entirely. but we believe the
man who would have made success of the
business, freeze or no freeze. and perhaps the
only ones who would. are going right ahead
doing what is necessary. They doubtless
take business view Of the situation and
while they admit and feel the loss. they can
also see some advantage they will derive.
The retirement from business of the weak
hearted and those who may not have weak
hearts but light purses. will reduce the
competition. and give those who hold on
an advantage they would not have had.
AS an indication of how some of the
growers are holding on, we would refer to
the case of the Messrs. Scarlet, of Cincin-
natl. who own large grove interests near
DeLand, and who last week purchased
eight car loads of fertilizer. This is but
sample and there are many others who
have strong nerve, an abiding faith and
sufficient capital to carry out their ideas,

AWAITING THE CRISIS.

Some of our subscribers in the North, who
are by distance removed from the active
''seat Of war" are disposed to complain
somewhat over what they term our meg
lect of the orange industry" Eat one time"
writes subscriber, 'your columns were
filled with matters pertaining to orange
culture and I might say of nothing else.
Now you appear to have given the orange
grove back seat, and devote most of your
space to discussion of matters pertaining
to the cultivation of tobacco. rice, sugar,
cane, corn, potatoes and other crops of a
like nature"
This same correspondent chides US with
being inconsistent. He says: You seem
disposed to blame the people of Florida for
devoting their entire attention to orange
culture and neglecting everything else,
while you have done practically the same,
i. e. devoted nearly all your space in the
past to orange culture
Now in reference to having given back
seat to the orange grove, this is mistake
The fact is there is little to be said at this
time on orange culture. This has been
true since the freeze of last winter. Our
orange growers are only waiting until the
critical moment passes. 1t is generally
conceded that the critical moment will
soon have past. If we can 60 through this
winter without freeze to kill the young
shoots. the consensus of opinion is that we
will soon be on our feet again and that the
damage by last winters freeze will not have

COLONIES IN FLORIDA.

The State of Florida, says the Manufac-
turer's Record, is attracting many imm:-
grants, as is. shown by the location of colo
MES in nearly all sections. Michigan, Wis
consin, Indiana and a number of other
western states have sent large delegations
of people, who have determined to locate
on the rich lands which have been re-
claimed by drainage and which they have
learned will produce so largely of vegeta-
bles suitable for shipment to early market
Reports from different sections of the State
indicate that the immigration movement
is perhaps more extensive this year than
ever before. AS result large amount of
capital will be invested in these sections
which will be Of great benefit in developing
territory which hitherto has been practi-
cally waste land. The section of east Flor
ida along the extension of the Florida East
Coast railroad, between Palm Beach and
Biscayne Bay. is attracting special atten-
ton. Through the energy of Land Com
missioner Ingraham, of this road, several
colonies have already been located upon it.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

In spite of the promise of General Mar
tinez de Campos to bring the Cuban revo-
luton to a close within sixty days of the
end of the rainy season, the revolution is
still on and apparently gains strength and
force as the insurgent forces advance to-
ward Havana. Campos in the meantime
continues to make promises of an early
suppression, to ridicule the idea of the in
surgents taking Havana and to cable to
Madrid for more troops Generals Maceo
and Gomez by brilliant movement that
has called forth the admiration of the mill
tary men of the world have dashed through

zas c implicitly out-generaling the famous

men and with their hardy band of twelve
thousand patriots have even threatened the
Notifications of Havana.
So far as Cuban independence is con-
cerned there is no telling the result of the
rebellion. Spain will of course cling to her
beautiful island as long as there is a
thread Of hope, or chance of additional
revenues. but the insurgent generals have
adopted a policy, which. while working
hardship to the people of the island. is gen.
orally admitted to be the only one that will
cause Spain to think of abandoning her
hold on Cuba. They are destroying the
growing crops of the island. and are pre-
venting and will prevent the grinding of
cane and the expectation Of sugar. 1t is
from this crop that Spain derives her rev.
enue, and the insurgent generals will see
to it that the source of revenue is cut off,
1t seems incomprehensible that the
people of the United States who something
over century ago battled for the same
principles the Cuban patriots now struggle
for, should stand by with folded arms and
refuse to extend to them even the recog
milton Of belligerents. Such recognition is
their due from people who believe in and
who have fought for the principles of self
governmental certainly would be. a humane
step, if nothing more, as it would tend to
bring to a close the long continued revo-
luton, and prevent the further shedding of
blood.

Florida. Consumers complain that the charges
for the transportation of their product are ex
orbitant and in some cases prohibitory. Not
withstanding this nearly all of our railroads are
in the hands of receivers. and recent order has
been made by the United States court for the
sale under foreclosure of the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West railway. The indebtedness of this
road runs into millions. Perhaps if the trans

production with less rates their business would

THE destruction of the sugar and to-
bacco crops in Cuba by the insurgent armies
will have a tendency to increase the price OF
these products. Florida should be in position
to reap the result of this. In the matter OF to-
bacco our State can produce as good an article
as Cuba. and the only question is, twill we do
it?"

minds of the people of our State. Florida grown
tobacco had well established reputation. 1t
was known far and wide and cigar makers were

THE NEW YEAR.

The year that came to a close yesterday
was peculiarly trying one to the people of
Florida, and will be looked back upon for
years to come with anything but pleasant
recollections. To the orange growers es-
pecially the year was trying; it came in
with dread and apprehension new con-
ditions surrounded them and they were
confronted by most serious problem
The severe freeze of December 2o, 1894,
was plainly in evidence. and even at that
time the grower was fearful that he had
not only lost his crop of fruit but large
portion of his trees as WELL This condi
ton confronted him with the opening of
the last new year and it can we'll be i'm
agined that his new year was not as happy
and as joyous as it might have been. But
worse was to follow. The crop of fruit re-
naming on the trees was destroyed by the
December freeze-this was hardship, but
there was still worse to follow. Before the
newness of the new year had received the
tarnish of age another freeze came and the
growers troubles were multiplied
1t is unnecessary to review the events of
the past year. they are still fresh in the
minds Of our people, and we think will re-
main fresh for many seasons yet to come,
as will also, we trust, 1.-THE lessons of the
freeze" about which we have heard so
much. We cannot subscribe to the opinion
so often expressed, that the freeze was "a
blessing in disguise" on account of the val
liable lessons it taught. While we admit
that necessity. the great mother of inven-
ton. has caused us to train our thoughts
and efforts in other channels, and the re-
suit has in measure been satisfactory and
the lessons not improbable, we are still Of
the opinion that the cost of tuition was too
high. Of course our people will profit by
the lessons and we trust they will not for
get what they have learned as soon as the
pressing necessity of the occasion shall
have passed. A lesson that has cost so
much should not be ruthlessly wiped from
the memory in few short months.
The new year starts under more favor
able conditions than the last While the
orange growers of the State are embarrassed
by reason of their losses. they are bearing
up bravely and making the best of things.
Their courage has not failed, and their
faith in the orange business has not
weakened. The new year resolution they
will probably make will be to keep at it
and to achieve success in spite of the
weather clerk. People who are strong
enough and brave enough to make and to
keep this resolution are worthy of and will
doubtless achieve every success, and GER
tainly deserve in its fullest measure.
A Happy New Year.

WE congratulate the good people of
the Southern end OF the peninsula on their good
luck, and extend thanks for the few boxes of fine
Florida oranges that come this way. VA Florida
orange is a curiosity this season even in this
great orange region, and the taste OF one re-
minds us of old times. The orange growers of
the southern portion of the State whose groves
were not frozen down are reaping fine harvest.
as the fruit is selling as high as three dollars
per box on the trees, and it is said will go still
higher. Think of it. II this price could be
realized for a full crop of the State our orange
growers could stand freeze every decade or two
and still make money.
