No Pent Up Utica.
ISaYannah Naval

There is one Texas congressman
Hon. S. w. T. Lanham, who can truly
say, mo pent up Utica contains my
powers" His district contains eighty
one counties, and some OF them are
more than ten times as large as the
state of Rhode Island. Altogether
his constituency covers over 100000
square miles of the earth's surface,
and its shape is such that it would
take a journey of 1000 miles to ride
around it, and sometimes for a whole
week, in making his canvass, he would
not see human habitation.

The Parties Contrasted.
Hartford Times (Dem.)l

The Democratic party has one pol
icy - the Republican another. The
Democrats follow the demands and
regard the limitations of the constitu-
ton. They respect personal liberty.
They do all they can to protect the
rights of individuals. But the Re-
publican party go outside OF the con-
stitution. They make laws to en-
barrass the citizens. They act from
a vote-catchipg policy.

The Best Policy.
[McKinnev Enanirer. {

The fence question is one that will
come up before the next legislature.
There is a very strong feeling in the
state in favor of requiring owners of
cattle and other stock to confine them
to their own lands. In many localities
this would work a hardship on many,
but in the end we believe would prove
of great benefit to the state. 1t would
put stop to fence cutting.

There was an unusual dearth of
items in the dep artments yesterday.
Commissioner Walsh, of the land
Office, in the abs ence of anything bet
ter, furnished the reporters with the
following letter of party writing
from Decatur, Ohio, who seeks infor-

The charter of the Texas, Oklahoma
II Kansas railway company was filed

The road is to begin at or near Aran-
sas Pass, in the county of Arkansas or
Nueces, running thence in a northerly
direction, on the most practicable
route, through the county OF Arkansas
or Nueces and the counties OF San
Patricio, Bee, Refugio, Goliad, Karnes,
Wilson, Bexar, Guadalupe, Kendall,
Comal, Hayes. Blanco, Gillespie,

CoMPTROLLER'S DEPARTMENT.
The New York u Texas. railway
company yesterday paid into the trea-
sury $151.73 as the one half of one per
cent due the state on the passenger
earnings of the road, for the year end
ing October 80. 1888.
The rolls of Wichita county were
received yesterday, showing, as was
expected, large increase in taxable
values. There are now but two eoun-
ties to render their assessments to the
comptroller.
ADJUTANT GENERALS DEPARTMENT.
Adjutant General King has no ad.
ditiOnal accounts, of recent date, of
fence troubles. He is preparing an
elaborate report of the operations of
his department for the information
of the extra session, one of the chief
causes for converting which is to
effect some satisfactory solution for
existing troubles between the pasture
men. the extent of the pastures
in some counties and the
inconvenience occasioned by large en-
closures is remarkable. AS an in
stance, it is stated that swo parties,
before wire Cutting commenced, in
Coleman county. had at least fifty
miles front on Colorado river enclosed,
virtually cutting off cattle of other
parties for that distance from the
water Of the river. About eight par
ties have about one-fourth of the pas
turage enclosed in one county to more
or less Inconvenience of smaller pas
ture owners. Certainly the legisla-
ture has most Important question
before it to adjust, if possible, the
difference between the pasture men.

the war grew out of the fact that
neither side suspected the gun was

FINANCE & COMMERCE.

St. PAUL, July IS, 1SS3.-The business
men in this section have been very much
relieved by the welcome news OF general
rains throughout the northwest, and es-
peciany in the Red river valley. Inc
rains of heaven have descended and the
wheat fields that were languishing for the
want OF moisture have taken on new life
so that the promise of good harvest Is
likely to be fulfilled. Notwithstanding
the unfavorable reports in regard to the
crops that were received during the first
part of the week. and in spite OF the deter
minat1on of our dealers TO restrict the line
of credit. trade has been good, and would
be a good deal more active but
for the fact that our jobbers are still en-
caced putting on the brakes. This con-
servative policy cannot fail to have G. sal
utary effect upon the business of the
northwest Sales for the week have been
in excess of those of the previous week,
Notwithstanding the efforts of our dealers
to hold back. Prices are very steady and
there are consequently few changes to
note. The grain market has been dull
throughout the week. There has been
really no inquiry at all for any kind of
grain and prices have been dull and droop-
ing. Yesterday, however, they
strengthened up little, so that
they were a trife higher, and the
produce market had stronger and frmer
tone throughout. Wheat is a shade high
er. Corn is higher and so are oats. In
barley there is but little doing, and the
same may be said of rye. Mill stuffs are
dull. Baled hay is weaker, owing to the
season of the year. Butter is
still dull and the market Is
overloaded. Stocks are large and still in
creasing. Dealers have crowded off all
they could during the warm weather, but
they cannot do much at reducing stocks.
Quotations are unchanged. Eggs are
steady at quotations. Dressed meats
are quiet. Poultry in fair sup
ply. Oranges, lemons and straw
berries are lower. Cattle and sheep
are in good supply and are unchanged in
prices. In groceries some changes are
noted in dried fruits, fish, syrups and oat-
meal. Dry goods are without change.
Hardware is active, with good collections.
Drugs, oils and paints have enjoyed very
active week of business. Balsam copeba,
English calomel, lard oil, oil cloves and
oil lemon have declined slightly. Lum-
Der is without change, and dealers have all
they can attend to. Money matters have
not changed in any important respect.
There is an active demand for money .
Country collections have been better and
count er business is good.
