So when Texas stands here and says. "We do not want any help." it may well be answered. "You need none." although the figures prodtced by the Senator from New Hampshire go to show the results worked out in that State up to the last report from the Commissioner of Education were notsuch as ought to make it an exception out of the benefits of this bill. Florida presents the same exceptional condition as contrasted with the body of the Southern States. Every one knows that the present condition of Florida is the outcome of that Northern immigration which has been the result of the attraction of its marvelous climate. its fertile soil. and thevalue of its orange and other fruit productions. Much over half of Florida. I think. is dominated by these conditions. and I was creditably informed by a gentleman who had the best opportunities on that subject. as he was a native of the country. that the portion of the State where those disturbances occur which have come into this Chamber in such an unpleasautway is confiped to half a dozen counties on the northern And central border of the State. which are in fact but a tongue of Georgia thrust down into Florida and constituting that a cause of trouble and difficulty there.
