Still Plenty Of Oranges.

The way orange shipments are
holding out on the Santa Fe this sea
son is something to be wondered at.
For, where there was not a single car
going over the hill at this time last
year, there is now an average of
fifteen cars being iced and turned out
nightly. And, as vet, there is no sign
of a lull in the extraordinary rate Of
'sn1pptng, says the san B~ernarulnU
Sun. With regard to the cause Of
that exceptional state OF affairs there
is but one answer which is that this
seasons crop was and is much larger
than that OF 1912. With reference
to the present shipments Foreman
Bryson OF the ice house, said: This
is certainly a star season for ship
ment. Where there vas scarcely a
car of fruit on the icing tracks at
this date last year, there are now
more than a dozen every night, we
having iced nineteen loads last Sat
urday. As yet l see no sign of abate-
ment. The consignments include an
unusual amount of lemons, a third of
the nightly shipments consisting OF
that fruit, which is mostly shipped
from San Diego county. From what
| have been told, the Santa Fe may
look for a heavier traffic next year
than is the case this season. II Is
barely probable that this seasons
shipments will run on into mex sea
son, the season dating from November

Last month was a record breaking
month for the Santa Fe round house
at Emporia. Twelve hundred engines
were put through the house during
July. This means that the Santa Re
needs millions Of gallons of water to
supply the engines and for the various
purposes in the round house. Last
month the Santa Fe used more water
from the city than it ever used in a
month. The water superintendent
report shows that during July the

selected. He had been completely cured

this case, as it was alleged that Mr..
Young was a man over so years of age,
and had been cured OF piles after fifty
years Of awful suffering and when all
other remedies had failed. It was agreed
that the politician should write to Mr..

TILLMAN ON THE NEGRO
Taxation Constant Reminder of
the War-Smoot's Credentials
Handed In.

Washington. Feb. GA large crowd
was attracted to the senate yesterday,
most of them Daughters Of the American
Revolution. Washington farewell adj
dress was read by Mr.. Dubois Of Idaho.
The omnibus public building bill was
passed and the postoffice appropriation
bill was considered without final action.
Mr. Tillman spoke nearly two hours,
principally in reply to Mr. Spooner, on
the 1ndianola postffice case. He said
that if the policy Of the administration
in regard to the equality Of the negro
was carried ON and Booker Washington
should be appointed to the cabinet he
would vote for his confirmation.
Mr. Tillman said he proposed to sur
prise his friends and astonish his enemies
if he had any by being very mild and
temperate in what he would say.
If we had known at the beginning Of
the civil war" Said he, what we now
know there would have been no war; He
inquired why the large ma jority of law
abiding people Of Indianola should be
punished because there was small law

cognate propositions which have been ig-
nored' He said that in the south the
people have constant reminder that
their ancestors thirty-five years ago were
conquered. 1--WE are perpetual1y re-
minded he said. accerting his words,
that we are in the union but not Of it
except to pay taxes
The poison in the race condition in the
south, he declared, lay in the referee
system. The balance of power in ma
tional republican conventions, was held
by the machine of the south and that
machine was composed Of negroes, When
the people of the south lose patience and
do ''cruel, bitter fearful, fiendish and
savage things, there is howl from men
who know nothing and have never been
south of the Potomac, but who have
theorized."
