a Golden Opportunity.

Those who hesitate about putting
little money in the cultivation OF to-
bacco. need have no fears about grow
ing sugar cane. They know that they
can get 40 cents for every gallon OF
syrup they can possibly produce and
that, too, right here in Florida. And
thew know, also, that the low-lands
and some of the better Highlands
around Leesburg will grow sugar cane
to perfection.
What, then, we ask, is to hinder
those who really wish to build up the
business interests of this section,
from forming stock company Tor
partnership, if they prefer) to plant
fifty or hundred acres in sugar cane
and manufacture syrup?
1t is reported that company in one
of the southern counties is doing this
very thing; that they put UP their
svrup in sealed tin cans holding five
and ten gallons each, and that they
sell all that they can make at fancy
prices in the North. Whether this be
true or not, it certainly can be DONE
and it ought to be done right here.
There's millions in it, and the eN>
nense involved is but triaing in COM
parison w. the profits. No very ex>
nensive machinery is required; the
crop requires less cultivation and at
tention than either tobacco or cotton;
only one planting is needed for two
or three years. and Capt. Rose, the st.
Cloud expert, says that $1,000 per acre
is sufficient for fertilizers.
Start this industry here on an extern
sive scale, and it will give employment
TO labor, utilize quantities OF idle
lands and prove sure factor III

were content to attend to their own
business, and they evidently did not
consider it their business to assist in
the development of the country by Sc
curing additional settlers, aiding in
public improvements and doing the
thousand and one things good citizens
should do.
The effect of this do-nothing policy
is obvious. The mans farm or grove
is still miles away from railroads. The
roads over which he carts his produce
to the nearest railway station is heavy
and sandy His children still trudge
miles over these sandy roads to the
nearest school houses. He is denied
most of the comforts and luxuries of
modern civiliZa ton. He has 'attend
ed to his own business" in his own pes
culiar way, but even the casual observ-
err will admit that he has shown very
poor Judgment in deciding what was
his business.
On the other hand we can point to
many localities where nature has been
meagre in her blessings. The citizens
of these places no doubt appreciated
this fact but they determined to make
the most of their opportunities, and
they pulled together with a common
purpose-to develop the country. Ev.
cry man made an immigration agent
of himself, and when a new settler
was obtained he was in turn Initial ted
into the ranks and made a developer.
Public spirit was everywhere in evil
dence. Every man took pride in the
country and an interest in public, or
general improvements. AS result of
this labor the population increased,
the products of the farms, groves and
gardens multiplied. Capital was at
tracted, and in a short time that
which all had looked forward to and
worked for materialized-th rail
roads came. Of course railroads in
themselves do not make a country,
and the people of these sections knew
this and redoubled their efforts. Bet
ter roads we're constructed, good
school houses and churches were
built, and those things that tend to
make life worth the living soon sur
rounded the enterprising people.
To sum up, it is the people that
make the country, and when a half
dead and alive town is seen, and thrift
and prosperity absent, the people and
not the country should be blamed.

INNOCENT MAN, PERHAPS.

Houston, Tex, Feb. 1S.-Special-
Amusement amounting almost to con-
sternation was visible in the faces Of
all citizens last night when the verdict
of guilty with a death penalty in the
Capt. 1. Baker murder case, became
known. None expected the negro
Williams to be convicted. There was
no direct evidence against him but the
confessions testified by two half-breed
detectives from the Indian territory,
who admitted they were otter the $1,000
reward. The colored citizens are wild
ly indignant and large colored mass
meetings were held last night. More
will be held tonight. White and black
all believe Williams innocent.

Weyler Has Whipped Gomez, of
Course, and the People are GrOan-
ing Under Fresh Burdens.
Havana, Feb. 1S.-Spanish reports
state that Gen. Gomez is in full re-
treat and his army divided into small
bands in Puerto Principe province.
Gen. Weyler has arrived in Sancti
Spiritus, province of Santa Clara.
Dispatches from Pinar Del Rio in
dictate the province is far from being
pacified. They have dynamited a train
and burned 20 houses of Vega Alta.
The bank bills question is produting
serious differences among the prOprie-
tors of exchange houses and govern
ment officials. Many of them have
returned their licenses to the govern
ment and intend to close their bust
Less. The whole matter has caused
great excitement among the people.
particularly in the case of the poorer
classes. as the stores of all descrip-
tions. in consequence of forced sill
yer currency, have raised the price OF
all kinds of merchandise forty per
cent. This is making the people here
the burdens they have been bearing
the burdens they have beenbearing
long time. Milk and beef are scarce,
all kinds of provisions dear and gro
GERS and others have raised prices an
other 30 per cent.
