The Pardon Power.

Tampa Times:--Did you ever
stop to think, when asked to sign
a petition for n pardon OF a man
convicted of crime, how stood the
chances that he was an innocent
man unjustly found guilty! Sup
pose you consider the matter a
little. 1t devolves upon the State
to prove the guilt of the accused
beyond any reasonable doubt.
The defence has the benefit of
every qnirk and bubble of the
law; and in the practical admins
tration of justice, there are proba-
bly, tes@of twenty or n hundred
guilty men escape to one innocent
man convicted.
The pardoning power is abused
and should DC lllhlCeu anu cuiO
ed. The excuse for its institution
is that u man might be discovered
to be accidentally innocent after
conviction, and there would be no
way to provide for his liberty
otherwise. This is not fully true;
and if it were, the pardon power
releases many more guilty men
than innocent. In the State OF
Florida, there is n condition OF
this matter of promiscuous par
dons that deserves attention by
the legislature.

An Honest Fish.

Fishermen are frequently accus-
ed of stretching the truth, but ac-
cusations of this kind are usually
not well founded, says The Erie
Dispatch. A fisherman can tell
the truth as well as any other per-
son, many of them with both
hands tied behind them. For ex-
ample, Elijah Cosgrove, of Quin-
cy, Ill.,, II fisherman of repute,
relates that, ten years ago, he
was fishing in one of the famous
resort lakes of Indiana, when he
dropped q SO gold piece into the
water and saw II pickerel swallow
it. Since then he has ished as
siduously for the pickerel and n
week ago last Saturday caught it.
Opening the fish he found the
original so and $3.50 in change
being the interest that had accrued
while the money was on deposit in
the fish. Fishing Gazette.

Tho happiest man in the land
today is the successful farmer
He sits under his own vine and
fg tree, undisturbed by the mad
dening noise of the great city.
Banks fail, railroads go into the
hands of receivers, booming towns
collapse, all business stagnates.
But the wise farmer can snap his
finger at these things. He is the
monarch of all he surveys on his
broad acres. And the honesty of
his boys and the purity of his girls
is guarded against temptations.
and in them he is giving the coun'
try its best manhood and woman
hood. The farmer is to he enyied,
and il he is not contented with his
lot, he is lacking IN wisdom. - IT.

ers that will DO a financial bless
ing to that section of the state"
Much money has been expended
in different parts of this state bor-
ing for oil. In almost every sec
ton some petroleum has been
found, but so far no gushers havo
been struck. John /. Pearson OF
Ocala has sunk wells in many
parts of fernando county, with
but little result. He Is still en-
gagged In his experiments and 10
true to the faith that is in him
that oil in paying quantities win
yet reward his searches.
The geological formations in
South Florida and upper west
Florida are, decidedly different,
and it is generally believed that
when oil is found in paying quan-
titles in Florida, IL will be in tho
upper western portion.

A Bird Nuisance.

If there is any creature that can
really be called a nuisance, it is
the English sparrow. The prev
alenco of this robber bird is
noticeable in most cities and vii.
lagos in the United States. Al
most every act of the bird is pre-
datory, detrimental to property
and to crops. Farmers are CON
tributing thousands of dollars
every year to furnish the English
sparrow food on which to subsist.
They could be exterminated, but
it certainly takes concerted action
to accomplish it, If every resi-
dent of any community will en-
ploy means to eXterminate this
pest, simultaneously, good results
may be expected. Otherwise it is
useless to expend any efforts in
this direction. Southern Fruit

TO Orange Growers Of Florida,

The time Is at hand when we
must decide all questions in regard
TO the marketing of our next crop
of oranges and grapefruit, and, to
a large extent, the value Of our
grove property.
In order to decide these ques-
tions in the wisest possible man
ner, and to solve the problems that
lie before us to the best advantage
to ourselves as growers, we invite
all the orange growers of Florida
whose interests as growers exceed
their interests as buyers or specu-
ators, to meet in convention with
the stockholders of the Florida
Orange Growers Company at
Tampa on July Goth, at 1890
o'clock. Due notice of the place
Of meeting will be given later.
At that time we will be able to
determine, with reasonable accur-
acy, the size of the present crop
and to set within reasonable linn
itations, a value on our fruit on
the trees.
The decision Of the buyers to
base their estimate of the crop ut
1880, 900 boxes and TO value the
fruit at 80 cents per box on the
trees, is sufficient warning to as
sure the growers that the coming
crop is to be sacrificed without
regard to its quality, the demands
of the market or the limited sup.
ply of Florida oranges or grape
fruit.
Lust season the Florida Orange
Growers Company only attempt
ed the tasks of obtaining an nc
curate estimate of the crop and of
placing fair valuation upon the
merchantable fruit. 1t accom-
plished these tasks in II manner
eminently satisfactory to the
stockholders and those who coop
Grated with it-saving thousands
of dollars to the growers.
This season, we believe that it
is necessary to do all things advan-
tageous to the successful market
ing of our crops, the collection of
our claims, the building up of the
reputation of our fruit and the
enhancing of the value of our
grove property.
Since cooperation is essential TO
success and our interests as grow
ers are identical, we ask your
hearty cooperation and support in
our efforts and your attendance at
the Tampa convention of the or
ange growers of Florida.

COMPANY. Josiah Warn, Pres.

from the statement of the Census
