Hon. John H. Savage.
icMinnville New Era, 20.


Many inquiries are made of us as to
the probable course Of Colenel Savage
in the canvass for Governor this year.
We are Of the opinion that Colonel
Savage does no. wish and will not be a
candidate before the joint Convention.
We are quite sure that this will be a
disappointment to very large body of
the taxpayers of the State, who look
upon him as tho champion of their
rights. We can say, however, that
Colonel Savage will, without doubt,
canvass the State in the interest Of
the people. He has now a number Of
solicitations to address the people, and
they continue to come.
The old war horse will remain in
the harness, and if the Convention
adopts a set of principles that he can
indorse he will do the nominee more
service than he will likely do himself

The No Fence Law.
From the Southern World.

From the Southern World.
In his admirable address before the
State Agricultural Convention of
Georgia at Augusta, Col. A. p But
Ter, commissioner of Agriculture of
South Carolina, held that the agricul-
tural interests of the country were so
much greater than the stock, that the
latter must give wav to the former.
The cost of boundary fences alone,
in South Carolina, was S14,090,410,
! kept up at an annual cost of 50, $685.
| 81. The abolition OF fences in South
Carolina amounted to two years res
mission of all the taxes in the State.
He thought the abolition of fences
would be equally advantageous to
Georgia. He had no doubt thai the
annual cost of building and maintains
ing fences in Georgia amounted TO,
If it did not exceed, the value of all
the stock in the State. The no fence
law had now become so popular in
Anderson county, where it was first
adopted, that not voice can be
found in favor of its repeal. The no
fence law encouraged the breeding
of better. stock. He believed that
the general adoption Of the no
tence law would greatly promote the
interests OF agriculture.

Improve Your Stock.
From The Rural Record.

FROM The Rural Record.
L, surest way TO success is in the
improvement OF the stock on the
farm. II is not necessary, in order
to do this, to resort 10 the eXtrem ely
high-priced animals, which are often
beyond the reach of the ordinary
farmer; but liberal patronage can
be given to those enterprising breed
ers who endeavor to introduce blood
ed sires in every way suited for pur~
poses of improvement OF common
stock. Such sires, while not posses
sing perhaps certain points emitting
them to be ranked among the best,
may be the equals of the fancy cues
in purity of blood and certainty OF
transmittal of qualities TO their Off
spring.
The difference between a blooded
animal and a common one is the pu-
rity of the former, which enables 1T
to transmit its qualities almost TO a
certainty. 1t does this not only III
color and form, but in nearly every
other characteristic peculiar to it.
90. An important consideration of this
matter is the increased value Civ, n
to farm stock by judicious breeding.
Farmers are not compelled to pay
high prices in order 10 have first class
stock, but can easily double and triple
the value of the common stock by
use OF blooded sires alone. The buy
er seeks them, and the farmer has no
market to seek. His Judgment anu
attention fad him a market at home
and a greater reward.

ILLEGAL Land Grants.

WASHINGTON, July I24.-The charges pre-
ferred by j. P. Newell to the effect that the
passage of the act by which the Texas Pacific
Railway company secured its land grant in
1871 was procured by lavish expenditure Of
money among senator's and representatives,
formed the topic of discussion at special
meeting of the house committee on judiciary
to-day.
Previous to to. days meeting it was the uu-
derstanding that Newell should be invited to
appear before the committee tomorrow and
tell what he knew on the subject, but the
committee to-day by a majority vote decided
to defer the hearing indefinitely and proceed
at once with the consideration of all the pend
ing land grant questions. with view
OF submitting their reports to the house DUR
Ing this session or early neH winter.
Ar TO morrow's meeting the committee will
take up the grant along the SD parallel
through Arizona. 1t is along this grant that
the Southern Pacific company constructed its
road. The Texas Pacific company, to
whom the grant was originally
made having yielded to the Southern Pacific
cessions to it by the latter company. Members
Of the committee say that during the examin-
alton OF the pending grants, if it becomes
advisable, Newell will be called upon for what
ever information he may have in his possess
sion. A member who is well informed on the
question OF railroad grants and who has been
connected with prominent committees of the
house for number of years says the Texas
Pacific company have never claimed that they
were entitled to any of the land mentioned in
Newell's communication and if there is any
trouble about who is entitled to it the contro-
versy is between the government and the
Southern Pacific company.

On Saturday night last the contest for the
league championship closed with games won
as follows: Chicagos so; Providences 80; De-
troits rs; Bostons 26; Buffalos "a; Clevelands
q; Troys %; Worcesters IL. 1t will be seen
from the above that the Chicagos have worked
up to the head of the list and now have just
one game ahead of the best while five of the
other clubs stand close up to the champions.
Before the week is ended it may be necessary
to materially change the figures with refer
ence to the Providences especially. Provi-
dence has one more game with Worcester and
then meets Troy for three games. She is
bound to win all these games which makes it
pretty sure thing that che will crowd Chi
cago, for the latter has two more games with
the Clevelands this week and then goes East
where she will meet the Detroit club. Chi
cago cannot expect to win all these games.
1t is doubtful il she wins the two from Cleve-
land. The prediction is ventured that Provi-
dence will stand at the head of the league
when the last gamea is played this week. The
contest between all the clubs except the Wor-
cesters ia q very close one. Never In the his.

sity of all sections of the country for lower
freights and some check upon the exorbitant
exactiOn of the railroad corporations the par
amount commercial question of the day is
the improvement of the great waterways Of
the country, and since it is the settled policy
of the government that these improvements
must be made, and we are losing millions of
dollars annually for the want of them, the
sooner they are made the less will be the cost
by the saving OF freights. We, therefore, re.
spectful1y request all the representatives in

stand together as one man and in q spirit of

The first happened about $50 o'clock and was
in W. ID. Washburn's lumber yard on Ninth

lily discovered before it had
ripened into full nedged con.
migration and was quickly extinguished
by the fire department, which was promptly
on the ground.
A $4,000 BLAZE.
The second occurred at few minutes after
o O'Clock, and the alarm was turned in Just at
the instant the fire department had reached
their quarters upon returning from the first
fire. The alarm called the firemen to the ex-
tensive lumber yards of the Mime
apolis Mill company, occupying over a
block upon the river bank and just north of
the Minneapolis Gas conpany's works.
When first discovered the flames had made
considerable Roadway, AID before the depart
ment reached the scene was beyond their con-
troll. For four long hours the firemen battled
heroically with the flames, although The
heat was intense and insufferable. At that
time, 10 o'clock, the element was practically
under control, although the lumber continued
burning the greater part OF the night.
To ascertain the exact loss and the insur.
ance was no easy matter to effect amid the ex-
element and hustle incident to the occa.
sion. The reporter hunted for two hours
through the throng of people adjacent
to the fire for the agent OF the company, who
happened to be very important individual
named H. II. Douglas. only to be told that he
could give no particular information. From
other sources it was learned that over 2,00O,-
600 feet of the highest grades of lumber had
been destroyed, entailing loss of $4,000.
