The Persians Seeking Freedom.

The revolutionists of Persia, call
ing themselves the Nationalist, have
captured Teheran, the national
capital, and propose to depose the
Shah. The Nationalist are anala-
gous to the Younk Turks of Turkey,
who have recently depOsed their
Sultan, Abdul Hamid, and set up
a constitutional form Of government
in the place of personal despotism.
Thus it is that the wave of con-
stitutional liberty is spreading to a
section of the world that has been
from the light of day oppressed
with the most abject form of slavery
that can be imagined, and even
though by slow degrees, these be-
nighted people will eventually
achieve at least a degree of freedom.
1t may very logically be asserted
that they are not prepared for con
stitutional government yet, but
then that is no reason why the
movement should not be com
menced. If the blow had been
struck ten centuries ago, to what
state of civilization could they have
advanced by this timer One of the
curious features Is that the move
ment is being sanctioned by Russia
who holds a protectorate over half
of the Persian empire, but the Car
has not yet accorded his own sub
jects a similar liberty. The spirit
of freedom, however, is permeating
the whole Eastern world and Car
Nicholas will awake when probably
too late, to find himself and his
bureaucracy swept away in the
manner that Abdul Hamid and the
Persian Shah have 50 recently
blazed out as pioneers.

torial on Men and Ideas with

Houston, Of Aberdeen, who has
practieed law there for more than
twenty years, who has long been a
close friend Of the former Governor,
and who was appointed by him as a
special Justice OF the Supreme Court
in 1906, serving several weeks In the
place of one of the Justices, who
was ILL.,
Although always prominent IN
the politics Of the State, as delegate
to the National Democratic conven-
tions, presidential elector and warm
supporter Of his political friends,
Judge Houston has never been active
in asking political favors for him
self, and Gov. Eardaman expresses
the opinion that he has not thought
of himself as a candidate IN the
coming race.
He has therefore evidently not
given his consent for the use of ms
name in that connection.
Gov. Vardamau has had good
deal Of experience runnin for Gov
ernor. and four years Of running
the Job he therefore ought to have
some idea how both ought to be
done

preference az New YORK Hotcle
II was reported some weeks ago
that seven Of the leading hotels OF
New York city, owing 10 complaints
OF guests, had discontinued the use OF
California grown naval oranges, SUD-
shutting therefor the juicy and well
favored oranges so literally supplied
this season from Florida. The Call
fornia fruits were criticised as too dry
and tasteless. Patrons OF these great
and expensive hotels demand the
highest quality Of viands that can be
procured, and buyers are ever on the
alert for the best the market affords.
An explanation OF the poor quality is
that several considerable quantities
OF the finest appearing nayals were
frosted. before picking. resulting in
the loss OF Juice and flavor without
other distingulshabie defects. There
was unusual cold IN the California ma.
val districts about the ripening sea
son and Il may the that oranges were
shipped east that should not have
been put on the market, but there Is
a growing suspicion that the eating
quality Of the California naval orange,
even at its best, will not bear compar-
ison with the choicer seed containing
varieties from Florida. For the first
time since the calamitous freeze OF
1894 that all but annihilated the cas-
tern orange industry, we have had
Florida oranges enough TO supply full
ly the principal eastern markets.
They been so satisfactory that the
seedless navals were barely salable,
Notwithstanding their great size and
fine appearance, and I'm fact were not
offered in quantity until the Florida
crop was practically sold out. The
commercial qualities of the naval
oranges are admirable. II is an ex-
cellent shipper and a good keeper un-
der ordinary conditions of handling
and exposure for sale. Dealers and
peddlers much prefer Il to others, but
consumers have grown restless as re-
CARDS its generally insipid favor and
discriminate I'm favor OF the more
palatable kinds when they may be
had. As the navals are long keepers
they are now held until the FloridaJ
are cleaned up and only the Mediter-
ranean imports remain TO be COM
peted with. Occasionally navals are
Juicy and pleasant enough to be COM
pared TO the best eastern fruits, but
on the whole the variety as grown in
the. pacific coast region Is likely TO
rank with the Kieffer pear, the Ben
Davis apple, the liberia peach and
the Concord grape-all good shippers
and cheaply produced. but OF ordinary
or inferior quality.-The Rural New
