The Geysers Of Montana.

In nearly every newspaper or magazine

of as the Wonders of the Yellowstone %

ton to the Madison river. Drawing a con-

OF the great spouting geysers, prismatic
springs, and immense boiling chalk-pots.

The Fire In Chester.

The people of the State will extend to the
people OF Chester their heartfelt sympathy.
Three or four years ago a great part OF the
town was destroyed by fire. Last summer
a gale OF wind swept over the place, and
laid many homes in ruins. And now Inc
heaviest blow comes in the shape OF a sec
opd fire which, breaking out yesterday
morning, consumed property to the value Oh
$3.50, 600.
It needs not to say that we grieve to hear
Of any trouble which beialls our fellow
countrymen, whether they live North or
South Of the Potomac; but 1t Is natural and
right that we should feel most for those who,
like the people OF Chester, are our W kith
and kin, who live In the same State, who
share the same public sorrows, and who, as
likely as not, drank out OF the same canteen.
But words alone will not suffice. The peo-
pie OF Chester may need instant help. And,
il 30, 1t is our duty to give 1t them.

The Blue Ridge Scrip.

It is said by some wiseacres hat the elec'
tion of Judge Carpenter looks 10 the 7aIida-
tion Of the Blue Ridge Revenue Bond Scrip
We are unable to BEE any reasonable appre'
benslon OF such q catastrophe. The scrip
business, as We believe, and have frequently
declared, was a fraud in Its inciplenoy. Should
the scrip be legalized the State would suffer a
considerable loss, but the Administrator
would slso be greatly crippled. Thereon we
base our faith that 1t will never be made gooo.
The State Government will never be readily
Inclined to receive revenue bond scrip ior
taxes, worth at most sixty or seventy Genus
on the dollar, when they can get greenbacks
or gold instead. If those In power are pala
enough for it, perhaps they might be Induced
to favor something Of the kind. Such mas
been the custom of the country for several
veers past, but we cannot see how it Is prac'
ticaule In this Instance.

Tom Scott's Lieutenant.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun takes the same view as THE
NEWS OF the nature OF the influences which
procured the election OF Mr.. J. ]. Patterson
to the United States Senate. He says,
moreover, that Mr.. Patterson, 'as is we'll
"known, Is in intimate relations with GER
stain powerful interests which, radiating
"irom the great State Of Pennsylvania, have
'induenced not only State Legislatures, but
Congress Itself, and which to-day has a
'foothold in q majority OF the Southern
States" This is no new In South Caro-
lima The Southern Security Company and

Farmers do not need to be told how great
was the cost Of fencing their lands in sla-
very times. They know that the fences
represented q large parS Of the value Of
their property, and required constant labor
to keep them In repair. And every difficulty
which surrounded this subject before the
war is now increased. Timber is more scarce,
and It is hard to make the colored lab.. ers
devote themselves to work which does not
bear directly and Immediately upon the cul-
tivation Of the crops. A poor fence is as
bad as no fence at all. To accomplish their
purpose the fences must be ''bull-high and
"pig-tight" And We cannot see why they
who till the soil should be forced to fence In
their lands for the benefit OF the owners OF
stock. 1t is surely easier and cheaper 10
fence cattle In than to fence them ont.
At the same time 1t must not be forgotten
that In some sections OF the State the raising
Of cattle will become well nigh Impossible II
they are deprived OF the ranges where they
roam and feed. These long miles OF swamp
and barren cannot be fenced in by the stock
owners, and under a general no-ience law
the cattle certainly could not run at large.
This would lead to a serious diminutiou OF
the hog crop. Where cattle can be enclosed
or watched, and we'll fed, they will thrive
better than where they run free and must
''root hog or dle;" but this cannot be done
in every county, and any abolition of the
existing fence laws, to be just and benefit
the whole people, must be applied to those
sections only in which the change would be
advantageous to q majority OF the people.
The people themselves are the best judges
whether it is advantageous to them to have
fences or no Fences, and the decision may
safely be left to them.
There Is before the Legislature q bill to
repeal the existing fence laws which, In It's
general provisions, appears to be sensible
and just 1t makes the boundary line OF
each lot or tract OF land a lawful fence,
makes it unlawful to permit animals to run

their owner, makes the owners liable for
damages done by stray cattle, prescribes the
manner Of obtaining redress for any tres
pass, and provides that the various counties,
each for itseif, shall decide by a popular
vote whether they will accept or reject the
act. Objection Is made to the clause which
allows the fence laws to remain In force In
one county, while in the adjoining county
the no-fence law ts adopted. It would be
better, Of course, to have one law for the
whole State; but, as already suggested, the
law which suits one county does not suit
another, and we think It possible that, for
this reason, any effort to make the no-fence
law apply peremptorily to the entire State
would cause the summary rejection of the
measure. The present bill is a compromise,
and we believe that similar laws are found
to work we'll In other States.
The rura members Of the Legislature must
have the fence question at their fingers
ends, and they have a practical knowledge
OF the conflicting claims OF the farmer who
advocates f%eucing.in, and the stock-raiser

South Carolina it Is one and a half per

a South Carolinian pays one dollar and a
