California has been most ft6ngly termed
the Italy Of America" All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, aud the rich YER
dure of the great European peninsula arc
duplicated in this sunny land of the Pacific.
Here nature basks in the sunshine Of her own
beauty; and here she has established her
own sauitarum, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snew-
mantled peaks of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and veritable paradise Of
flowers, fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs no loveler land. To visit
such country is a privilege a blessing,

IF, as stated, the bill to create the office of
county detective was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Losch, an explanation as
to why he did so is in order from that gentle
man. It is inthe nature Of things that Repre-
sentative Grifiths, Of this district, should
seek to repay the services of his friends, by
creating a comfortable office for one Of them
at the expense Of the taxpayers for services
rendered in the last campaign but that Sem
ator Losch should take enough interest in the
matter to present a bill of this kind gives
the matter an interest it would not have
otherwise. This county wants no such in
cubus fastened upon it, and Senator Losch's
constituents, and other residents Of the
county as we'll have a right to demand an
explanation. We can hardly credit the state
ment that Mr. Losch has any debts to repay
in this quarter and in justice TO himself and
bis constituents the Senator should explain
why this was done.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season. so many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which TO one esCap ug from the cold
and unhealthful changes vi the North seems
almost ethereal. it is pre-emincntly % land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles Of saltwater coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety from the migra
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpOn pompano, and others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety OF
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, pauthers
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions while birds Of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport Of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the moro adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting and its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinariau, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer
TO this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sOually-conducted tours during the season of
! 1897. leaving by special train January 20,
February 9 and 49, and March g. The first
three tours will admit Of a sQiOum of two
weeks i'm this delightful land; tickets for the
fourth tour will be valid to return until May
81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, $4,000 from New
York, $500 from Philadelphia, and proper
tionate rates from other points
For tickets, itineraries and other infOrma-
ton, apply to ticket agents, special booking
offices, or address Geo. W. Boyd, Assistant
General Passenger Agent Broad street station,

TEE criticism Of the HERALD on the bill
introduced in the Legislature creating the
Office of detection for Schuylkill county, has
met with much favor at the hands of the
people as well as the press. We have as yet
failed to notice a single newspaper that has
said one word in favor of the creation OF
this useless Office. Upon this subject the
Hazleton Standard says: "The press OF
Schuylkill county is bitterly opposed to the
passage Of Representative Grifiths' bill to
create the office of County Detective in
counties having over $780, 900 population. And
why should they not be-? Lot them take
warning from the experience Of Luzerne. If
any Of Luzerne's Representatives desire to
become famous let them introduce a measure
to abolish the Office of County Detective in
Luzerne If continued it is simply throwing
away few thousand dollars annually"

AT PARIs IN 1eO0.
The United States should Have a Good
Representation ne the Exposition.

The United States should Have n Good
Representation ne the Exposition.
10 appoars that the secretary of state has
sent several communications TO congress,
both formal and informal, requesting an
appropriation Of $3.50, 600 as the first In.
stallment to pay the expense Of the proper
representation Of the United States at the
Paris exposition of 1900, the authority for
the appointment Of q commissioner general
and staff of assistants, but no action has
been taken 1t IS probable that the sundry
civil appropriation bill will contain the
necessary provisions. It will not po into
effect until after President McIIinley's in.
auguration and win therefore not inter-
fere with the aspirations of Republican
candidates for the appointment.
Nearly all Of the great nations of the
earth have already appointed their com
missions, have had space reserved in the
buildings at Paris and begun the prepara-
ton Of their exhibits. But the United
States is usually last on these occasions
and attends to such things in hurry.
At the last Paris exposition this govern
ment did not get in an application until
nearly all the space was awarded, and
therefore our exhibits were scattered all
over the grounds in the most inconvenient
and inaccessible places. The European
governments spend years in preparation in
order to have their exhibits complete and
symmetrical, and, realizing the importance
of such expositions to their commercial
and industrial interests, they grant liberal
appropriations and appoint their ablest
men, In order that the arts, industries and
commerce of their people may be illustrat-
ed in the best manner possible.
The United States has never had an OPP
portunity TO show what we can do at for
eign exposition The commissioner gem
eral has never had timo to make adequate
preparations. He has always been SO linz
tied in funds that he could not do the
country Justice There are yet three years
before the opening Of the exposition, and if
an appropriation Is made and commission
ers are appointed at once after the inaug-
uration Of Major Mckinley it will be pos
sible TO do better at Paris in 1900 than in
1SS9.-William e. Curtis in Chicago Rec

Charleston Feb. 11.-Admiral Bunce
has selected the dispatch boat Dolphin
and the Dynamite cruiser Vesuyius to
run the blockade of the North Allan
tic squadron, now stretched over a dis
tance of six miles off the harbor, but
in position to guard the south channel.
The Vesuvius is not scheduled to ar
RYE here until this afternoon. The
Dolphin departed southwark Tuesday
morning. Her instructions were to
steer out to sea, and when beyond the
reach of telescopes and search lights
to formulate her plans for running the
blockade and en.ering the harbor.
Watchers on the vessels are kept on
the alert for fear that the Dolphin
may slip by.

speaker Reed has become a great final
Rrbiter for numerous parliamentary bodies
from one end TO the other Of the country.
Hardly a day pas os that he is not request
ed TO pass upon some point, more or less
intricate that local parliamentarians have
wrangled over and failed TO agree upon.
Last week one of the chapters of the Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution i'm this
city submitted to him question of the
right to elect cuotAcr delegate to the conti-
mental congress They had elected q dele
gate and alternate ut % meeting, which the
constitution said should be called at
stated time, Tho delegate had resigned,
and the ladies were in quandary as TO
whether they could call another meeting
or whether the alternate should serve. Tho
speaker settled that for thom, and they
went away happy.
But this is only an isolated instance.
Secret orders, debating societies and other
delibcrative bodies write him for decisions.
Yesterday he was ans Hering request from
Lowell, Mass, and another from New
York state, for the speaker gives every re-
quest his courteous attention sooner or
later. Sometimes the simpler queries are
turned over to Mr.. Asher Kinds, who,
from long association with Mr. Reed, has
become an experienced parliamentarian
Mr.. Kinds fOrmulates the reply in some of
these cases. but Mr.. Reed scru6nizes it
personally before he signs, and if the letter
does not accord with his views it is modi-
fled and rewritten. Requests frequently
come from bodies that have adopted the
speakers manual for the control of de-
Lucrative assemblies. The Maine legisla-
ture last winter complimented him by vot.
