Young Russell Harrison, one ol the proprietors of “ Frank Leslie’s Idus trated Newspaper,” writes as if he was Mr. Blaine’s keeper, and is attempting to forestall the eminent statesman from any Presidential aspirations he may en tertain. No bees shall buzz in Mr. Blaine’s bonnet, if young Russell can prevent it. Here is tho young man’s wonderful pronunciamento: “ When Mr. Blaine wa* called to the most important placo in the Cabinet, he wrote in reply to the President’s letter tendering the appointment (which let ter clearly outlined the _ President t view*) a statement that distinctly im plied in the clearest terms unquestioned und undying fealty to the head of the Administration, and by no act, word or imitation has Mr. Blaine at any time since left ids loyalty open to the slight est suspicion. The loyalty of Mr. Blaine as a vassol is assumed, and voung Harrison says: “ Mr. Blaine, by virtue of his po-ilion. is the chief and most intimate adviser of the President. If the latter will ac cept re-nomination, he will have no stronger, abler and eonstant supporter than his Secretary of Slate.” Thus the “voung son of his pa” as Rum 8to“shoo ofl” any presidential bees that may attempt to buzz in or near the bonnet of the eminent Maine state man and “shut off” the Maine states man himself from any longing looks in the direction of the White House. Young Russell don’t want him to get in pa’s way and concludes his remarkable editorial in these words: . ‘‘Mr. Blaine will, in duo time and m his own way, utterly, financially and absolutely dispel that doubt.” To make assurance doubly sure on this point, vonng Harrison adds that “he is teady to do so now.” _ But Blaine is a mas'er of expedients and may surprise the voting man. His Friends Accomplish What His Enemies Could Not. No man ever made better headway in a campaign than did Senator Call as long as lie had foes to tight, and particu larly as those foes were the head of liati-d corporations —railroads and na tional batiks; but while he overcame his enemies almost by a wave of the hand, his great |>opularity and prestige could not overcome tbe friendship ol the Times-Unitin and its “ carrier iiige<>n ” service; Ji e Haddock, Jeeins Alexander and that new and peculiar Keely-Motor force in politics, Mr. Jno. N. C. iSo'kton. The “combination” proved disastrous to Senator Call’s bril liant chances of success and his down tail is attributable directly to his friends and not to his enemies. If any man ever had just cause to exclaim in an guish ami bitterness- of spirit from the very bottom of his socks, “Save me from my friends!” that man is Wilkin son Call. How a man of his political experience submitted to being butch ered in such u stupid and rootless man ner, is beyond the judgment of sensible men. Harry Clark, ex-Postmaster at Jack sonville, is a handy man to have at. the capital during a heated Senatorial con test. Harry was an eye-witness to the Harvey Alexander difficulty and when Tom S'oektuii made Ins rush on Ben Harrison, lo! Harry Clark was there! While Harry is handy and serviceable as a peacemaker, he does not seem to be the best witness in tbe world, as he is either affected with strabismus or looks only in one direction. He was quick to See Col. Harvey’s weapon, but did not catch a glimpse of Jeeuis Alexander’s big revolver as he and it went glistening through tlie hotel corridors, and in the other encounter he saw “Stockton give Harrison a right-hander blow over the left eye;” he saw “Harrison stagger, and but lor the wall would have fallen.” He t hen saw some blows on either side, when the two men clinched aud_ Stock ton threw Harrison and had him pin ioned to the tloor, when they lay and fought for some little time, Mr. Harrison struggling to release himself and kick ing vigorously and Mr. Stockton holding Mr. Harrison’s right arm.” But he didn’t see Mr. Harrison put “both of ■ —■■■!

Dear Sirs:— The market report du ring the past month has been extremely quiet so far as phosphates are concerned, buyers being in favor of waiting to see how affairs go in Coosaw and Florida, whi st sellers ate firm for slightly ad vanced prices unless they can get the equivalent out ol freights. Offers lor Florida phosphate at prices ruling a month ago have been emphatically de clined, and we learn from our partner who is on the spot, that raisers there, l>eing fully aware of the deaulock at Coosaw, are evidently determined to make the most of their opportunity. Complaints are mede on this side of the delays in obtaining deliveries under contracts which have hern implemented sometime ago, and so far as our infor mation goes these complaints are likely to incicase, so it is not to he wondered at if Ei gtish buyers fail to be tempted by the few offeis of enoim us quantities at low prices which still survive and are wandering round at intervals. The ma nuie trade in America is exceptionally good and the demand for phosphates rapidly Increasing. One manufacturer has we hear, just bought 10,1)00 tuns of Peace river rock, and as prices in tiie stales are generally better than those ob:ained here, the sellers are feeling pretty independent. From' South Caro lina we hear that the Coosaw stoppage may last for six months, and if tins proves correct the effect must necessarily he far reaching as the outside raisers are already working at their full capacity and cannot increase production to any appreciable exlent.

The Blade is not inclined to boast nor boom matters of local interest unless there is some good foundation for the assertion. Before us are letters from T. D. Gib bons, of Jacksonville, secretary of the Belleview Phosphate Company, to Jas Pennfteld, of Belleview, general man ager. We cull from them the following information. The analysis given by Prof. Maly van in regard to the solubility of our soft phost hate in citrate of ammonia is very flattering. He gives the follow ing analy ses: ‘ One sample runs 48 per cent., soluble in citrate of ammonia, the other 51.40 per cent.; total of 99.40 per cent, bone phosphate of lime for two analyses, or an average of 49.70 per cent. This average of 49.70 per cent, is equivalent te 22.00 of phosphoric acid.” Aside from the cost of the lands owned by the couqiany, nearly $2,000 have been laid out in mining operations, buildings and tools at the mines. Iu addition to this several thousand more are to be extended in the near future. Anew phosphate storage shed 100x20 feet is to be built adjoining the side Hack. Lumber, shingles, etc., have been ordered. Anew pit of large dimensions is to be opened up immediately, thus employing a large number of men. A six'inch drive well is to be sunk. In addition to the drying kiln now in operation day and uiglit, four more are to be built. These are to be of rock and one-fourth inch sheet iron. Several steam derricks, rigged with wire ropes and large iron buckets for hoisting the phosphate to a staging are to be placed where most needed. An engine, boiler and grinder have been ordered. No delay in the work is to be tolerated as plenty of money is back of the enter prise. ___________ Tbe Tavares Herald wants the Demo crats of 1-ake county to demand the resignation cf Hon. Wm.

It is probable that I was selected to s. cak ab ut music because, not knowing one note from another, 1 have no prejudi es on the subject. All I can say is that I know what I like, and to tell the truth I like every kind—enjoy it all—from the hand organ to the orchestra Knowing nothing of the sc cnce of music, 1 ant not always looking for defects or listening for discords. As the young robin cheerfully swallows what Comes, I bar with gladness all that is played. Music has been, I suppose, a gradual growth, subject to the lawof.evolution, und nearly everything, with the po-sible excep lion of theology, is under this law Music may he dtv ded into three kind-: First, the music of simple time without any particular emphasis—and th s may be called the music of the heels; second, music in which time is varied, in which there is the eager haste and the delicious delay—that is, the fast and slow, in accor dance with our feelings, with our emotions —and this may be called the music rf the heart; third the music that includes lime und emphasis, the hastening and the delay —something in addition I hat produces not only sta es of feoling but states of thought. Thi- may be cubed the music of the head, the music of the brain. Music expresses feeling and thought wi hoot language. It was below and be fore speech, and it is above and b yond ait words. B- fore man found a name for any thought or thing he had hopes and fears and passions, and these were rudely expressed in tones. , Of one’thing, however, lam certain, and that is, that music was brn ol love Had there never been any humn affection there never would have been uttered a strain of music. Possibley some mother, looking in the eyes of her babe, gatfs the first meloily to the enraptured air.. Language is not subtle enough, tender enough, to express all that wc feel, and when language fails tho highest ahd deep est longings are translated- into mude viusic is th.- sunshine, the climate of the soul, and it floods the heart with a perfect J une. I am also satisfied that the greatest music is the mo*t marvelous mingling of .ove and death. Love is the greatest of passions and deutn is its shadow. Death gets all its terrors from i ve, and love gets alljits intensity, its radiance, ts glory, and its rapture from the darkness, of death. Love is a flower that grow s on the edge ot the grave. The old music for ihe most part ex presses emotion or feeliing through time and emphasis and what is known a- melody. t[ost of the old operas consist of a tew melodies connected by unmeaning recita tive There should he no unmeaning music. It is as though a writer should suddenly cave his subject and write a paragraph consisting of nothing but a rep etition ol one word line "the,” “the, ’’ “the,” or “if,” "if,” “if,” varying the repetition of the-e words, but without meaning, and then resume the thread of his article lam not saying that great music was not produced belore Wag er, but lam endeavoring to show the steps that have been taken It was necssary that all the mus e should have been written in order i bat thejgreatesi might be produced the same is t ue of the drama. Thousands and ihousands and prepared the way for the supreme dramatist as millions prepared the wuy for the supreme composer. Wbeu 1 read Shakespeare 1 am astonish ed that he lias expre. sed so mu. h with com mon words to which he seemes to give ih-w meaning, ands. when l hear Wagner lex claim: is it possible that all this is done with common air. in Wagner's music there is a touch of chaos that suggests the infinite The tneiodies seem strange and chang ng forms, like summer clouds, and we rd harmonies come like sounds from the sea brought by fitful winds, and others moan like waves on d> solate shores, and mingled with signs and sobs and ripples of laugh ter and the wondrous voices of eternal love Wagner is the Shakespeare of music The fuueral march for ‘ Siegfried” is the funeral music for ab the dead Should all the gods die, this music would be perfectly appropriate. It is elemental, universal, eternal. The love music in “Tristan and Isolde” is Iko “Romeo and Juliet,” an expression of the human heart for all time, to the love duet in “The Flying Dutch man” has in it the consecration, ihe in finite sell dei.ial of love. The whole heart —t * I - i -— sound. When I listen to the music of Wagner I see pictures, forms, glimpses of the perf ct —-he swell of a hip, the wave of a bre. st, the glance of an eye I am in the midst of great galleries. Before me are passing the endless panoramas I see \ ast land scapes with valle;- s of verdure and vine, with soaring crags, snow crowned. lan in the depths of ihe caves ’oerwalled with mighty Lags, while through some rent I see the eieri.al stirs. In a moment the music becomes a river of meh dy flowing through some wondrous land, suddenly it jails in stiange chasms and ihe migh-y c-ataract is changed to seven hued foams Great music is always sad because it tells us of the perfect, and such is the difference between what we are and that which music suggests that even in the vase of jay we timi some tears. The music of v\ agner has color, and when I hear ihe violins the mo ning seems to slowly come. A h rn puts a star above the horizon. The nt.ht in the purple hum of the bass wande s away lik>- some enor lnous beu across wide fields of dean clover. The light grows winter as the violins in crease t olor comes from the o her in struments, and then the full orcliesra floods toe world with day. Wagner seems not only to have given us new tones, new combinations, but the mo ment the orchestra begins to play his music all the instruments are transfigured. They seem to u ter the sounds that they have been longing to utter. The horns run not, the drums and cymbals join in the general joy. The’cellos throb wi b love, the violins are seized with a divine fury and the note rush out eager for the air as paidoned prisoners ior the roads and fields. The music of Wagner is filled wish land scapes. There are some strains, like mid night, thick with constellations, ana there re harmonies like islands in the far seas and others like palms on the desert’s edge, tiis music satisfies the heart and bruin. It is uot only lor memory, not only for the pr.se.it, but for prophecy. Wagner wao a sculptor, a painter in souud. When he died the greatest fouu tain of melody that ever enchanted the world ceased, but his music will instruct and refine forever. All that 1 know about the operas of Wag ner 1 hare learned from Anton Feildl, and I hole, e that he is the noblest, tendei est and most artistic interpreter of .Wagner that has ever lived [Tremendous and long-continued applause.]— lngersoU.

Eden, Florida, May Ist, 1891. To the Ed t'.r of the Banner: Ab the interest of the inhabitants of the Northern slates seem to tend so strongly to our “sunny South;” aid knowing that your paper has a large circulation, I,cannot refrain from writin* a few words’in behalf of what is known as the “Ind’an river country.” To those who have never given a thought to the geographical location of this sec tion, and the unquestionable advantages which it affords from a standpoint of healthfullness and remuneration for money or labor invested, I will ask theii special attention. The average man who desires to ecme to Florida is often deferred from doing so because ho does not know what he can do. Those who come here for pleasure only, can do as they please, for they are not dependent on the resources of the country for tiieir support. There are many good citizens of the. Northern states with a limited amount of means, who would be only too glad to come among us, if they felt assured that they could benefit their condition. It is fi (tie benefit oi this c ass of people tl a' I pen these lines, but no one is exclude.) front reading, or acting upon what I write, for all are alike benetitt.-d, in a financial way, according to the amount of .money or labor expended, for the licit gtow richer, and the poor get rich. No man, no matter how poor tie may be, if he will only go to work in a judicious way, will surely succeed. As an indicator or pointer of the ex emption from cold that this country af fords, I will rav, that the Southern half of Indian river is used almost exclus ively for the growing of pine apples, bananas, and all kinds of winter vege tables. This s a very significant fact, and one which is attracting more atten tion every season. - This past winter has been a practical test with me in raising winter vegetables, and while there has been fearful dam age done ,iu other portions of the state, I did not have a plant of any kind kiiU-d. From four to eight hundred dollars per acre is w hat can be realized per acre. Beans ami tomatoes are the principal crops, but as soon as the business is fully understood, the crops will be di versified, the cnlliva'iou more judicious, and the remuneration greater. The vegetable giowing is confined to a strip of land lying between Indian river and the ocean, which is'nisinlv cabbage palmetto hammock and very rich. The elevation varies from one to eight feet above the river an.! retains moisture well. A failure in crops is as yet un known The western chore of Indian rirer is more elevated and-tlie Southern Ha If is confined principals to growing pi te apples, which is a very iacralive busi ness, as they give a large profit on tiie money or labor expended. Bananas grow well, but are not as extensively raised as a crop for commerce a- pine apples and winter vegetables. Pint* apples have to ha replanted about every seven s'eti-s. Toe amount of land sus ceptible of profitable cultivation in pine apples and winter vegetables is very limited, being confined to a narrow strip on each side of the liver, the cost strip being for bananas and. cocoa nuts; the west for pine apples, guavas and other tropical fruits. The river averages about two miles in width and abounds in fish and oysters. For a man with small capital, desiring to make a start in Florida, this is un questionably the place; for the mat of large means, who wishes to escape the terrors of winter in the north, he can combine both pleasure and profit by coming here and enjoying the liny fish, sailing and investing in eitli-r pine apple or vegetable culture. Ether of these industries has a fascination about them that no one comes here without being most favorably impressed, and in most instances, where tiieir bust nos will admit of it, locating, if only for the winter. The sight of n pineapple farm ora winter garden, in fall vigor of growth, customed to the ther mounter at zero, that he is at once captivated, and if lie is in quest of a home, he needs no further persuasion, but settles at once. If he is merely a pleasure seeker, he needs no invitation more than whit nature offers him to return the next winter. Invalids suffering from asthma, con sumption, any kind of lung trouble i r rheumatism, find this climate in every way suitable to tiieir condition and im provement. I fear if I continue to set forth too many of the advantages of this favored part of Florida, that my communication will in some accidental manner, find its way to the waste basket, so I sill (icsit, but if any one doubts but what this is the garden spot of Florida, and will come down, and after looking the country over, say that what I have written is not true, I will load them down with cocoaiiuts, bananas, pine apples and such a variety of tropical fruits a-* they never saw and send them hack to tiieir Northern home to eat “Boston baked beaus” and “mess beef,” while we enjoy tiie oc. au breezes and indulge in the luxuries of homegrown banana and cocoanut pies, fresh pine apples of our own planting, fresh fish of our own catching and many other things tha’ are too numerous to mention. Now, T.3r Editor, if you are a “doubt ing Thomas” just step this way, for “seeing is believing” and I can certainly show you even more than I have mentioned, but I believe I promised to stop, so “here goes.” Ycurs very truly, W. R. Hardee. ATTEMPT TO STEAL A POST OFFIUE. Repablican Misrule Even at South Lake Weir lb the Editor of the Banner : The peacefulness and quietude of tiie classic shores of South Lake Weir belched forth a volcanic eruption of righteous indignation to-day that shook the place with excitement from center to circumference. It leaked out through Rufus McMa hon, one among the many, ot the hon est and conscientious Republicans of this p ace, that partial success attended the efforts of one of our narrow minded business men who is not alone fa’isfied With having two post offices within a radius of one mile from his hou-e, but now wißhds to put the old institution over original South Lake Weir, iu his back yard, Foster Park, and if we are to believe the reports—and they come from a reliable source—he has succeeded, in conjunction with j**Hy officials, in doing it in the smallest aud meanest protests ever invented to outrage a pub lie necessity. One hundred citizens promptly re sponded to a cad meeting and forwarded a telegram to the Postmaster General to stay proceedings until the people could be heard from. A committee of three was appointed to take matters in charge, also the “peop’e’s favorite” exponent, the Ocala Banner, was designated to publish a'l the details of the meeting. Sister Bessie B. Ricker, that beautiful example of energetic womanhood, de serves the thanks of the entire commu nity for the prompt manner in which— upon hearing that our postal faculties were threatened, she dispatched a mes senger on horseback through the neigh borhood with claiiou notes of warning.

I preach temper ance eloqnentjv ar.d then illustrate in tempeia ice still more eloquently by a terrible spree.” —Junius Henri Brome, in Hay B /ford's “German Syrup” J. C. Davis, Rector of St. James’ Episcopal Church, Eufaula, Ala.: “My son has been badly afflicted with a fearful and threatening cough for several months, and after trying several prescriptions from physicians which failed to relieve him, he has been perfectly restored by the use ol two bottles of Bo- An Episcopal schee’s German Syr up. I can recom- Rector. mend it without hesitation.” Chronic severe, deep-seated coughs like this are as severe tests as a remedy can be subjected to. It is for these long standing cases that Boschee’s Ger man Syrup is made a specialty. Many others afflicted as this lad was, will do well to make a note ol this. —I.Jg. Arnold,.
