FLORIDA ORANGES ARE SAFE.
Refute Statements Sent Out that
the Freeze Had Ruined
the Orange Crop.

Jacksonville. Fla, February 16.-
The most extravagant reports have
been sent broadcast throughout the
country regarding the damage done
by the cold of the 18th. Reports
received tonight from all sections of
the orange belt indicate that the
cold wave did not do much perma
nent damage utterly refuting the
statements sent out to the press.
Outside of the tender spring
growth on the orange trees, the trees
remain uninjured and in the lower
belt it is predicted the orange crop
will be larger than this season.
Reports received from the yepets.

The Treaty Making Pc wer,

According to the constitution OF the
United States, the President and dc
Senate are charged with the duty of
making treaties with foreign countries.
The House of Representatives has no
share OF responsibility in this matter.
The executive department negotiates the
treaty and submits it to the senate for
ratification or rejection. 1t can have no
binding force until ratified by the senate.
But when ratified, is absolutely binding
on every department of the government
including the House OF Representatives.
The Spanish treaty just ratified by the
Senate, contains clause providing for
the payment of twenty million dollars to
Spain. Now, il the House should refuse
to make the necessary. appropriation to
TO carry out this provision OF the treaty,
it would to all intents and purposes be-
come a part of the treaty-malzing pow
er, in violation OF plain provision Of
constitution. In view of these facts, It
seems to us that the House OF Represen-
tatiyes has no discretion in the matter.
1t is an imperative duty to make tho re-
quired appropriation. .otherwis 1t
would be guilty Of infringing the rights
OF Il coordinate branch of the govern.
ment and arrogating to itself powers
not conferred by the constitution. 1t Is
true thar, according to the constitution
itself, appropriations bills must originate
in the House. But this does not imply
that the House has the right to withhold
an appropriation made necessary by the
action OF the Executive and the Senate
in the exercise OF their unquestioned and
legitimate duties under the constitution.
Itwould be a sorry spectacle to see one
branch OF the nationallegislature defying
the other branch aud the Executive and
assuming tho right to nuliify n treaty
negotiated and ratified in the regular
legal manner. That would be an exam.
pile Of house divided against tself, and
Holy Writ informs us ofthe fate OF such
a house.

The Grip.
A Composition.

This is said to be a disease that
the Car of Russia invented some
years ago to punish the Nihilists,
and. was brought to this Country in
the bones of some of his punished
subjects. 1t has been more or less
fashionable in this Country ever
aince, and people up to last year
who were sick and didn't know what
was the matter said they had the
grip. Fashionable people called it
the La Grippe until they took it
themselves and then they diden't
care what they called it. 1t hardly
ever kills its victims in fair fight
but many Of them commit suicide
after they get we'll to keep from TAX
ing it again. There is variety of
opinions about the symptoms of the
disease among doctors and other
people who haven't had it good,
but find man who has had it good
and he will not leave you in doubt as
to its brand and ear marks.
AT first you feel like you had been
dropped into cold bath, and then
pitched ins3 tophet. The next well
defined sfhsation is that a big dog,
or a gzzly bear is pulling, the fesh
off the rear part of yoar legs and
that freight train has hit you be
tween the shoulders. When you
feel any or all of these symptoms
you had better telegraph to Lazarus
and send for the doctor. In min,
cases ont of ten the telegram wil
give you more solid relief thar th
physician but there is nothing like
doctor to-tell you how bad you feel
and he ought to be around to te
the family what the patient died c
and how the sad event might hav
been prevented.
