Bishop George Forster Pierce.

AT Sparta, Georgia, on the Bird Of
September, there passed from eartf
the spirit of one of the greatest relig
ionist of the age. George F. Pierce
the greatest of Georgia's orators, is
no more. He was the senior bishop
of the Episcopal Church South, and
his demise will carry sorrow into
every household of that faith. But a
few years since his physique was that
of the heroic type, and his life was as
pure as that of any mortal. The state
of Georgia is in deep mourning, while
the cause of Christ has lost one of its
most eloquent and effective apostles
and champions. In his early man
hood he devoted himself to education
was the first president of the first fe-
male college established in this coun.
try, the Georgia Wesleyan Fee
male College, at Macon,
Ga. In 1854 he was made
a bishop. AS a pulpit orator he had
no superior, while as a dignitary of
the church it is said of him he was
wise in council, prompt in action, con-
yet firm in his teachings
and answering in his devotion to
the church, in whose service he battled
long and manfully. He preached in

Land Legislation.

This is, and will continue to be. an
important question for the considera-
ton of Texas legislators. So far,
land legislation has been imperfect,
and hence unstable. One legislature
makes land laws, another repeats
them and substitutes others. An in
dividual hes not more than begun to
acquire land by prescribed process
than another mode of acquisition is
made necessary. The result is,
that tenure of land has been
made precarious, since under our
peculiar constitution every state de-
partment is an Independent govern
mental institution, interpreting laws
at viii, presenting as a finally any de-
cision arrived at or any Judgment as
sumed. Cases are at point, and they
are numerous, too, where chiefs have
decided adversely to laws. while boards
have altogether annulled clearly de-
fined legislative enactments and sub
stituted therefor board legislation.
subversive of, and negatory of, clearly
written and well understood statutes.
Out of multiplied legislation, and the
subsequent acts of administrative of
ficers and boards. q labyrinth of laws
and decisions has followed, damaging
to the land interests of Texas, and of
ten fatal to land titles. Cases are at

Trouble Nearly Over.

The capital, in 1880, invested in this
country in farms, was $40, 20O0OO,O09
in railways, $5,2OO,OOO,OOO; in manu-
featuring, $3,OOOOOO,OOO. Mr.. Edward
Atkinson has been Analysing the rela
tive proftabIeness of capital SO in
vested, and an application of his in
vestigations to the present financial
condition shows that this crisis has
been the legitimate result of too much
railway building, and consequent
losses of railway builders and owners.
The value of manufacturing property
of all kinds, is comparatively stable,
and agriculture-the most importan
factor of all in the condition of the
country for forecasting future pros
perity-is relatively and actually pros
porous. In 1869 13 tons of specified
kinds of produce were worth in gold,
in the city of New York, $632.68; in
1880 the same quantities were worth
$631.32; in 1880 June 15) $621.75, a de-
cline of less than two per cent. since
1880. In considering this steadiness
in production and its value, it must
be borne in mind that since 1880 the
increase of railway mileage has been
more than forty-fve per cent, while
the increase of the grain crops, on
which railways depend largely for
business, has been only five per cent.
The average crop from 1866 to 1869,
inclusive, was 1,4OO,OOOOOO bushels,
average mileage $4,000 miles; from
1877 to 1880, average crop 2,341, 100000
bushels, mileage $1,000 miles; from
1881 to 1883, inclusive, average crop
2,450O00,O00 bushels, mileage Qst jan
uary, 1880 over $4,000 miles.
Here then may be found
the best of reason for a railway panic,
involving immense private losses,
affecting business circles in all their
relations, and leading to a general re-
distribution of property. Equihb-
rum once more attained, it may be
expected that the general condition of
the country will grow better. The
panic being traceable to over railway
building and not to any other sort of
over-production,it may be understood.
that when adjustments of losses are
complete the countryiwin relapse into
healthier financial condition than
before. A lesson has been learned,
and hereafter the trunk lines of rail-
ways will engage in local develop
ment = the building of feeding
branches. Agriculture viii thereby
be benefited and personal wealth will
be more surely accumulated. The
trouble is nearly over.

point where the land board has
changed the effect of legislative en-
actment. The constitution con-
fded legislation alone to
the legislature, but this board has
assumed legislative powers, has an
nuled statutes and refused individu-
ais rights clearly given by the legisla-
ture. For instance, the law, as it now
appears on the statute books, permits
any one person to acquire from the
public school reservation two sections
of agricultural lands or seven sections
of grazing lands in any one county,
the right to acquire being one of a
fee simple nature. The land board
subverted the statute by rul-
ing that no person but an
actual settler upon the land could so
acquire more than two sections of
gazing land, and one of agricultural
land. The statute says that the min
imum price of leased lands shall be
four cents per acre; the board says it
shall be eight cents, and under the
ruling of the board millions of acres
of school and other fund lands do not
find lessons. Proof of instability Of
our land system Is thus shown. 1t IS
stated now, too, that the board further
limits sales of lands, even withdraws
them from sale. It is proposed, too, to
Withhold all watered sections from sale
or lease; but the question arises are
any watered sections lett? Have they
not all been sold or leased? And
ought not this decision, if right, have
been reached eighteen months before

canvass? No matter what the
answer may be to such
Undergraduates, they can not

has been too much land legislation
and there must be more, for that
which we have is worthless, since it is
not respected. The next legislature

entirely new laws, making them bind
ing, beyond the power OF board t.

policy of the state to re
fuse all but actual settler

statutory provision be clearly ex
pressed. If live stock interests ar

Let the legislature take hold of tn

les of the northwest. There is plenty
of work to be done, and prospective
legislative solons should begin thei
labors at once.

Our Own Fair.

The spirit shown in encouraging
Texas exhibit at New Orleans is COM
mendable. No doubt, the expositions
of other states and countries will lie
superb, and that of Texas should be
commensurate with the grandeur of
the commonwealth. No country in
the world ought to be able to exhibit
a more interesting collection than
Texas, and it is to be hoped the state
authorities and local organizations
will do what they can for the credit of
Texas at New Orleans. But, in
laboring for a grand display
at the Crescent City, why should it be
forgotten that next month a fair is to
be held at the capital city of Texas, de-
serving the encouragement and sup
port of Texans? The exposition at
New Orleans is a private affair and
any local benefit or profit resulting
from it will be for New Orleans and
the few men who are stockholders In
the enterprise. 1t promises to be a
grand success, and its proprietors
and the community will certa14E
reap rich returns. Some objection
has heretofore been made to the Cap
ital State fair at Austin because it is
not owned by everybody, and here we
see any number of people taking a
deep interest in a New Orleans ex-
hibit, while the enterprise there is
private, though receiving rich public
donations. The fair enterprise here
is private, conducted entirely al
private expense. When the Capital
State Fair association was organized
opportunity was given to everybody
to take stock in it, but only few
persons did so, paid theil
money in, established it and have sus
tanned it for ten years with losses tt
themselves, while it has been decided
ly beneficial to Austin and its com
munity. Suppose local organizations
the one for collecting al
exhibit at New Orleans, the Press
club and people generally, resolve tt
be generous at home as well as among
strangers, and lend aid to the fai
here? They have great annual fal
at st. Louis; it began there man
years ago on no grander scale thai
the Capital State fair. IL has grow
to huge proportions, and tn
secret of it's success is, tina
the business and property interests o
st. Louis have every year contribute
any means necessary to make sue
cess. The st. Louis fair is of NOR
value to the state of Missouri thai
any exhibit that might be made TO
the state at a half dozen such eX
hibitions as is going t.
be held at New Orleans
1t has been encouraged, and every yea
people go there from all parts of the

be made of vast benefit t.
