THE DECORATIONS. ETC.

The Opcr;-HollSc decorations, under the
Joint management of Mr.. McLane and Dir.
Ford, it is expected, will be of the most eIe.
CANT and brilliant character, eclpsing every
thing of the kind ever seen in Baltimore in
the way OF decorative art. Besides the pic
lures, mottoeS, de-, heretofore mentioned lis
forming part of the splendid adornmcnt of
the theatre, there will be numerous banners,
cnsignS, langing-basketS, bouquets, cXOtics,
and other tasteful ornamcntation, suggestive
of the "peace aud goodwill" which is the
Keystone OF the preparations for the event,
as well us the foundation sentiment of the
campaign which the Convention will proha-
bly, inaugusltc. When the decorations shall
be completed the UpcIsi-House, with all its
bcautiticatious, will be thrown open for the
public inspection OH Monday the Sth instant
from 5 to u z. Nj. This course, ii is under
stood, has been taken at the request of many
ladies', who do not wish to endure the pres
sure of the throng on Convention days, or
engage in the scramble for tickets of admis-
sion which will necessarily characterize the
struggle OF so many more people to get in
than the theatre can possibly hold. 1t is
understood that none but delegates will
be admitted to the main floor OF the theatre,
mrquette, and Hlrqucttc circle, and that
none but bona tide newspaper workers and
telegraph operators will be allowed to go on
the stage, except, of course, the presiding
officer, yiee-presidents, and official secreti.-
ries OF the body. For the numerous visitors
to Baltimore during the Convention, COM

wards the fund for making preparations to

Baltimore should be recognized with com

RXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for

In accordance with the established policy Of
the Company to furnish the best Concentrated
Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this
Guano is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the Company is en-
abled to do by reason Of its large facilities and

The supplies put into market this season are

pounds Guano at a cost not exceeding the pres

afford to weeds and briars; the protection they

worse than useless by their occupancy, would

The SoUTH's REvENGE.-The New York
Journal Of Commerce says the South is taking
philosophical revenge on her political haters
by holding agricultural congresses. If many
of her ablest citizens cannot be allowed the
privilege of voting and holding office, and so
contributing to the general public good, they
can, at least, make the men of Washington feel
bad by showing the tranquility of disabled
Southerners under such circumstances. Parti-
sans have their Congress at the capital, where
they can wrange over the division Of the spoils,
and plan new ways for reducing the South to
political nonentity but the people Of that re-
gion find their solace in congresses ofquite an
other and more innocent variety, where the pri-
zes are of pumpkins and other gigantic vegeta-
bles, and the eloquence of man finds its loftiest
flights in explaining the, pattern of a new worm
fence, or the latest thing in churns. For every
political convention held at the North, the
South responds, as if by malice prepense, with
Radicalism to an unbearable degree, it holds

sented. Even South Carolina, harried in part
of her territory by Federal troops, keeps calm

The Loose Economy OF our Fence Laws.

The fences of the United States have cost
more money than the houses, cities included
lnerc than the ships, boats, vessels of every de-
scription, on all the oceans, lakes and rivers
more than our manufactures, Of all kinds, with
sheir machinery; more than any class Of prop
efty, aside from real estate, except, it may be,
the railroads Of our country. This may be like
an exaggerated statement, but little estimate
will show that it is not extravaganza as would at
first appear: I .a esi-c,I
was between 500, 200, 900 and $3.50 1908, 900; :;
Robinson gives it at $144, 900. Assuming
mating the first cost of the fences of other States
on the same basis, we have, as the total first
cost of the fences of the whole country, the vast
sum of 81, ,295, 100000. = ~
This requires to be renewed once in ten years,
giving $129, 900 as the annual cost, towhich
should be added, however, at least half as much
for repairs, making the aggregate sum Of $l94,
100000 as the annual national expense-a sum
we believe below the actual figures, yet quite
beyond comprehension. James T. Worthing-
ton, of Ohio, says that there are $4,000, 600 OF
land in Ohio, inclosed within $4,000 miles oi
fences, at prime cost of S115,OOOOOO, and q
yearly expense for repairs, etc., of 81 $50, 600:
If roadside and boundary fences can be dis
pense0 Win, nal1 tne cOSC OF lenclnS VIII De
saved. That cost is now an annual tax Of
S1.50 on every acre of improved land in the
United States-the "fence tax" being twice OF
thrice as great as the aggregate of the State and
local taxes combined.
Why can not large portion of this outlay
be saved for. some profitable investment. Eve
~ dolla. rescued from fences may be added tc
productive wealth. Fences are dead capital
they pay no interest and are constant drain
upon the pocket. AS Mr.. Greeley says: awe
poison our land with fences they are shelter
for weeds, as we'll as vast and useless expense
The indirect cost which they inAict is almost rs
much as the direct. A Virginia zigzag fence
occupies five acres for every hundred incosed
thus imposing five per cent tax on the market
value of the sofia tax which would be felt te
Z be oppressive if it was for the payment of The
national debt instead of for the shelter of o
growth of weeds"
Shall we fence stock out or in? There is nc
doubt that our people now expend four times as
much money to fence stock out as it would be
require to fence it IN. Our present custom,
which requires universal fencing, is the worst
blunder the practical American people ever
made. Enterprising and original in many mat
ters, they are here following slavishly, genera
ton after generation, the habit Of the earliest
