The President Of the largest express

influence second only to that OF the

presumed to represent and be chiesv
concerned in the interests OF his State
and the country at large, but as
stakeholder and president of the ex.

advantage OF a private corporation and

less seem extravagant and exagger-
ated to far-off, wholesale admirers Of
our government and to those who inn
agine that it is impossible for the stars
and stripes to float over anything that
is not entirely and purely good. But
to those Who have been behind the
scenes, who have seen the greasy
ropes and pulleys by which splendid
stage effects are produced, there is
nothing extrayagant in the statement.
There are thousands of persons re-
ceiving the pay Of the government who
perform no adequate service for that
pay--no service in fact that might not
just as we'll be undone. They are the
reicts and relatives and friends and
henchmen Of members and senators
and cabinet ministers, some Of them
long since dead and some ofthem still
in Washington and influential. The
present system OF appointment under
Civil Service examination will doubt
less result, in time, in the publication
and improvement OF the service,
but why should the government
have to wait quarter OF a century
for this improvement and publication,
when Thousands of we'll equipped and
competent persons are ready TO take
the places Of these incapables2 The
government work in many depart
ments is far in arrears simply because
these people appointed by favor will
not work, have never worked, and do
not know how to work.

FLORIDA cRANsERRlEs.

The following from The Ocala Ban
ner will be of interest to our readers
"John Farrell of birmingham,
Mass, a former resident OF Ocals, has
received from the East Coast Railroad
Company a very hattering and liberal
offer of lands and other inducements
to return to Florida and start en- ex-
perimental farm for the cultivation Of
cranberries Prior to the big freeze
Mr.. Farrell owned a large orange
grove two miles east Of Ocala on the
Fort King road The place was known
as the "Bostonisn settlement" Some
of our older readers will doubtless
remember him.
Since his return to Massachusetts,
he has been giving his attention to the
cultivation OF cranberries and he be-
lieves that they can be probably
grown in Florida. He has made ex-
cellent arrangements with the East
Coast railroad and will give employ.
ment to a large number OF men, wo.
men and children, especially during
the cranberry picking season."
