AN EXJOYA BLE TRIP TO THE PLEAS ANT "LAND OV FLOWERS." He was not Horn to be a Plutocrat, Hnt Nevertheless Enjoyed Tampa's Magnlfl- j cence and Richness. "Away down upon the Swannee river." I was called to come and take part in the Chautauqua at White Sulphur Springs in the beautiful land I of flowers. The State Normal College is there and I found a gathering of good people, notable people, earnest and refined people. I don't care where i you go, you will find the teachers I and preachers, the best people in any community, and so I ound them here 1 and to their own number was added notable men and Women from the surrounding country. Peace and good will prevailed and all received a cordial welcome from the good citi zens of this quiet and village. The recent completion of the Geor gia Southern Railroad has brought this wonderful spring in easy reach of the outside world. A few hours is sufficient to drop you down from Atlanta and Macon, or to bring you up from Southern and Middle Flor ida. This bold gushing spring bursts out from its subterranean cavern and makes a river, Swannee river, that the poet, Foster, has immortalized in song. How many other sweet songs he wrote like Annie Laurie and the Cabin in the Lane, I do not know, but I know that he left a loving fra grant record behind him. We had many delightlul addresses on this occasion. Literary, scientific and didactic, and much good was done and no harm. These Chatauquas are getting to be af feature of modern education, and blessed are they who can find time and inclination to attend them. They are refining and instruc tive, and will leave their impression upon the rising generation. From there I journeyed to Orlan do, the highest, cleanest and most beautiful town in Forida. Its pictur esque beauty is a feast to the visitors eye and just now where the orange trees are all in bloom a feast to his nose as well. Orlando has recently solved the problem of having streets and sidewalks, for heretofore, the greatest drawback to the comfort of man and beast has been the depth and the dust of Florida sand. I don't know what genius discovered it, but already Orlando has several miles of her streets paved with a heavy coat ing of clay, and it has so far proved to be a wonderful success. It has not cost one-fourth as much as either graveL or wood would have cost and is better than either, for it does not wear into holes or sink, and the iron rolled and the sprinkler keeps it in an excellent condition. This peculiar clay is brought about seventy-five miles on the cars and costs only about $1,000 a mile to dig and haul and put it down. Tampa is Mr. Plant's city, and he has spent millions on it and about it, but an Orlando man told me that Tampa recently sent a com mittee to examine their streets and see how it was done, and that Mrs. Plant told her husband that she wanted to go to Orlando to take a ride. I know that this must be so, for I got it straight from Major Marks. I would like to live in Or lando, but noboby offered me a home with a lake an orange grove, and so I reckon I will have to stay where I am. But I am now here in Tampa, the thriving growing city of the gulf. I have heard of Tampa nearly all of my life. Richard Henry Wilde who wrote so sweetly and so sadly, in his poem : My Life is Like the Sum mer Rose, speaks of Tampa's Desert Strand, and that gave me an unfav orable impression. Later on Frank Goulding wrote the Young Maroon ers, and located Tampa as the place where the devil fish ran away with the boat, and the children and I didn't like Tampa tor that. But all that must have been some other Tampa, not this one, for there is no desert strand nor devil fish now. Old set tlers, however, do say that the Young Marooners landed three miles below here at Ballast Point, and that deviP fish used to abound in that region. They say also that a gentleman nam ed De Soto, landed here and luxuri ated on fish and oysters and wild oranges and flirted with the Indian maidens and still was not happy, and went away to find "something bet ter." These same old settlers also declare that about sixty years ago a British ship pursued a pirate on this coast, run her up into a narrow channel in this bay and could not follow Eer ; that during the night the pirates took all their treasures and buried it some where in the sand, abandoned their craft 'and got away. The last of the pirates died a few years ago in New Orleans, and on his death-bed told the point there the treasure was buried ; and they say that this coast has been dug up for five miles, and that folks are still digging. I reckon the Yankees were not here during the war, for I known they would have found it ; they found everything we buried in North Georgia. This town is rough yet, for it is bran new ; but it has started out right, and is bound to be a beautiful city. Its main street is about one hundred feet wide, is paved with cedar Mocks and has street cars that are first-class. It has electric lights, the stores are splendid and there are new buildings eroing ud all about, including a nity thousand-dollar court house. The Cuban part of the city is called Yboe city (pronounced Ebo), and their population is about lour tnjusana, all of whom are in the cigar business There are four immense factories, with about five hundred workmen in each. It is the funniest place to go to that I ever saw. There is a little pulpit in the center of the great, long room, and up there is an educated Cuban reading the daily news to the work men. All listen while he reads in a clear, distinct, musical voice, and ever and anon they make known their appreciation, as something strikes them that they approve or disapprove. But they do not stop their work for a moment. This reader gets four dollars a day, and it comes out of the workmen's wages. It is their schooling their education and the result is that these Cubans are well posted in politics, religion, science and history. The women do the nicest, cleanest work about the cigar business, but they have no reader, and they say that they prefer to talk. Some of them are quite pretty and some awful homely, and they are of all colors, from the Anglo-Saxon pink cheeks to the dark mulatto.- I saw some wealthy Cuban ladies at the Tampa bay hotel, and they were stylish, beautiful and well behaved. Every raCe has its oi polloi and aristoi, as the scholars say its first-class and its second-class. As my darkey Bob said when he had served out his sen tence as a convict, "Dar' is good people an' bad people everywhar' ; dai' is some folks in de pen'tent'ry jist as good as folks outen dar'." Fifteen thousand dollars a week is paid to these cigar -makers and it is all spent right here and keeps them j lively, inen tnere is tne wondenul Plant Hotel. The most magnificent structure that I have ever seen. It is beautiful and gorgeous beyond conception, and made me think of the Arabian Nights and Aladdin's lamp. I wouldn't put up there for pay, I'd be afraid that I would do something wrong or brake something or misbehave or that the breeds and the ladies would look at me and won der where I came from. My good friend, Mr. McFall, chaperoned me all over it, and looked and wondered, but I wouldn't have gone through it alone for ten dollars. Why, I would be afraid to eat at the table or sleep in the beds or move or sneeze or blow my nose. I never was born to be a plutocrat, or to have his hifalutin ways. But it is all righ for rich folks, and I like to see them spend their money. These Tampa people say that Florida lives off of rich Yan kees fn the winter and yam potatoes in the summer, and that's alright. Thank the good Lord they can't buy the climate and take it off. I haven't seen or heard a mosquito yet. I haven't been too warm or too cold. It is just right, just delightful, and all that I regret is, that my wife and my children are not here to luxuriate with me. I am going fishing to morrow and if I catch a tarpon I will send you a scale. Bill Arp. A Valued Doc lime n(. From the Chairman, Maj. Jas. W. Wilson, we have received the first report of the North Carolina Railroad Commission. It is a complete docu ment, highly valued here. It shows that there are 67 railways in the State, with a total mileage of 3,432 miles, every county in the State being pene trated by one or more roads, save Alleghany, Ashe, Clay, Dare, Graham Hyde, Pamlico, Transylvania, Tyrrell Watauga, Yadkin and Yancey ; 1 2 counties. The taxable property of the railways, was assessed in 1890 at $12,321,704, and in 1891 at$i8,423, 2g8; showing an increase of $6,161, 594. An interesting feature of the report is a summary of the capital stock, earnings, &c, of the roads. This shows that the capital stock is $36,911,313 in North Carolina. The funded debt in North Carolina is $8.s8j..q74.. The current liabilities IT J ' s t s & are $3,879,476. The gross earnings in North Carolina in 1891, year ending June 30, were $8,651,625, and the operating expenses in this State for the same period were ,,532,841. The report covers the canals. These are the Albemarle ik. Chesapeake, 15 miles in Currituck the Fairfield in Hyde ; the Norfolk and North Carolina (the Dismal Swamp ; ) the Clubfort and Harlowe, in Craven and Carterest. There are tables showing the total value of the 3,482 miles of railway track, which is $16,467,270; of rolling stock, $1,682,921; other property, $524,- 756. No valuation per mile is given officially for the Seaboard & Roa noke, Raleigh & Gaston and Wil mington & Weldon ; in a foot note $10,000 per mile is set down as the value per mile. 1 he report gives a complete history of each railway showing also its organization, omcers property operated, capital stock, funded bebt, assets and liabilities, in come account, earnings from opera tions, general balance sheet, mileage, terminal points, surpluses and sal aries freight traffic,, accidents, &c, &c.

Views Upon the .Subject by Two tinguished Chief Magistrates. is- When an election to office shall be the election by the votsrs of one of their number to assume for a time a public trust, instead of his dedication to the profession of politics, when the holders of the ballot, quickened by a sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, and when the suffrage shall be altogether free and uncorrupted, the full realization of a Government by the people will be at hand. And of the means to this end not one would in my judgment, be more effective than an amendment to the Constitution disqualifying the President from re election. When we consider the patronage of this great office, the allurements of power, the temptation to retain public place once gained, and, more than all, the availability a party finds in an in cumbent whom a horde of office holders, with a zeal of benefits re ceived and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligibility of the President for re-election a most serious danger tc that calm, deliber ate, and intelligent political action which must characterize a govern ment by the people. Hon. Grover Cleveland's Letter of Acceptance August 18, 1884 : I proced to state, in as summary a manner as I can, my opinion of the sources of the evils which have been so extensively complained of, and the correctives which may be applied. Some of the former are unquestion ably to be found in the defects of the Constitution; others, in my judg ment, are attributable to a miscon struction of some of its provisions. Of the former, is the eligibility of the same individual to a second term of the Presidency. The sagacious mind of Mr. Jefferson earlv saw an lamented this error, and attempts have been made, hitherto without success, to apply the amendatory power of the States to its correction. As, however, one mode of correction is in the power of every President, and con sequently in mine, it would be use less and perhaps, invidious, to enum erate the evils of which, in the opinion of many of our fellow-citizens this error of the sages who framed the Constitution may have been the source, and the bitter fruits which we are still to gather from it if it continues to disfigure our system. It may be observed, however, as a general re mark, that republics can commit no greater error than to adopt or con tinue any feature in their systems of government which may be calculated to create or increase the love of power in the bosoms of those to whom necessity obliges -diem to commit the management 61" their affairs. And, surely, nothing is more likely to produce such a state of mind than the long continuance in an office of high trust. Nothing can be more corrupting. Nothing more de structive of those noble feelings which belong to the character of a devoted Republican patriot. When this corrupting passion once takes possession of the human mind, like the love of gold, it becomes insatiable. It is the never-dying worm in his bosom, grows with his growth, and strengthens with the declining years of its victim. If this is true, it is the part of wisdom for a republic to limit the service of that officer, at least, to whom she has intrusted the management of her foreign relations, the execution of her laws, and the command of her armies and navies to periods so short as to prevent his forgetting that he is the accountable agent, not the principal the servant, not the master. Until an amendment of the Constitution can be affected, public opinioYi many secure the desired object. I give my aid to it by re newing the pledge heretofore given, that, under no circumstances, I con sent to serve a second term. Presi dent Harrison's inaugural message, March 4th. 1841. THKSKCKKT CON FEKENCK. It Would Seem That Conservatism vailed After all. Pre Birmingham, Ala., May 4. The Age-Herald is furnished with the fol lowing as a correct statement of the Alliance conference proceedings : "The day has been spent in receiving reports from different States upon the situation. Perfect harmony seems to prevail, and a wise conservatism that will prevent any radical action gov erns the entire work. All present express a determined support of Al liance principles by their constituents, and seem disposed to keep the order entirely free from any partisan en tanglements. In all probability the resolutions to be passed will favor preserving to members inviolate the fullest right and freedom to affiliate politically with any party, making support of Alliance principles the only test of fealty." Later. While a majority of the members of the conference, which adjourned this afternoon, are for en forcing their demands through the People s party, an element develop ed which was opposed to any action which would appear like interference with a member's right to vote the Democratic ticket if he wished to. The result of the deliberations is a long address issued to the order, in which it is set forth that it shall first be told to each applicant for member ship in the order that his obligations shall in no way interfere with his political or religious liberty, and that the order has no right to take any partisan, political, or sectarian relig ious action.

PLEADING FOR UNITY. An Alliance Address Issued by the Birm ingham Conference. Birmingham, Ala., May 4. While the majority of the members of the Farmers' Alliance conference, which adjourned this afternoon, are for enlorcing their demands through a people's party, an dement developed which was opposed to any action that would appear like interference with a member's right to vote the Demo cratic ticket it he wished to. The result of the deliberations is the follow ing address issued to the order : To the Brotherhood of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union : We the presidents and executive officers of the States of Tennessee, Kentucklv, Missouri, Texas, Louis iana, Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, West Virginia, and Florida, together with members of our national executive committee, national legisla tive committee, national judiciary committee, and President L. L. Polk having been called together in council to consider the reported peculiar conditions in the order in the Southern States, which it was be lieved seriously threatened that har mony, brotherly love, and unity of action so necessary to the success of our cause and the success of our order in these States, after counseling together and hearing detailed reports, rejoice to say to you that we feel greatiy encouraged and inspired by the splendid spirit of unity and de termined adherence to principle which pervades the order in nearly every one of these States, nothwithstanding the combined efforts of our enemies to sow seeds of discord in our ranks pending the heated political contests local and national. We therefore feel it our duty as servants of the people we represent standing upon the outposts and watch-towers of this, the greatest political revolution ever known to the nation, to say to you that we have entered a crucial period in the history of our great reform movement, in which the greatest . caution, earnest deliberation, and strict adherence to our principles are necessary to pre serve intact that organization which stands to-day as the sheet anchor and hope of millions of wealth producers in the great battie for the God-given rights of humanity. You are congratulated upon the great harmony and unity of senti ment in regard to Alliance principles which prevail within your borders and upon the fact that a careful can vass of the subject at this meeting has shown that practically the members of the order in these States stand squarely upon their demands, with the avowed determination of holding devotion to them above that to any method of action, and that to-day the number of those who so indorse the principles of the Alliance is much frrpater than pwr hpfnrp I A sentiment also prevails, strong ! and uniform, that this great order as an organization is the greatest of all I modren forces for the spread of re form education, and that its work must be perpetuated and encouraged in this high sphere, entirely free from any partisan entanglements. The only dangers which seem in any wav to threaten a lack of the fullest de velopment and prosperity of the order ae those which attend the dis position of a few men and papers to I publicly criticise and condemn others ! for their methods. This is not sufnei- ent extent to damage the order, but it mars that perfect unity that should prevail and always injures all con-1 cerned and is contrary to the spirit ; of brotherly love and forbearance that should prevail. Another evil, which fortunately prevails only in a very few localities, is the disposition of members to seek political office, at the hands of their brethren, forgetting that principle of Alliance doctrine which declares that the office should seek the man not the man the office. In consideration of these views as to the situation the following rules of 'action are suggested as well calculated to enable the order to go through the coming ordeal of a fierce political contest and come out strengthened and purified. First. First a spirit of harmony prevail and let unity of action be the rule. Let none condemn a brother who stands squarely by the principles of he torder or speak in any way dis paragingly or disrespectfully of him because they may differ as the best methods of enforcing our principles. Grant to every brother honesty of purpose. Second. Let fealty to the principle of the ordef be the true and only test of membership, and let those who value partisan afiiiliations more than their Alliance obligations be in formed that their order demands strict and full devotion to its prin ciples, and Teaves each to his own choice as to methods, but that the method can in no case control the principle, and therefore all who affiliate should accept as supreme the principles of the order. Third. Every member who takes the obligation always administered to those who join it is first told as a condition precedent, and upon which all that is to follow is predicated : "That it shall in no way interfere with your political or religious liberty." Therefore this order as such, or any of its branches, has no right to take any partisan, political, or sectarian religious action. We urge upon the brotherhood of reform organizations and . all good citizens 1 who believe as we do, that the enact- j meat of laws based upon our demands ! is for the preservation of the free ; institutions of our Government, and to rescue the masses from degraded : servitude ; that they use all honorable means to secure the election oi" men I ." 11 t .
