THE 'fence'' or ''free grass" ques-
ton in Texas has created a great excite
ment in that state. The owners of large
herds of cattle and the land owners
have been at war for some time and the
Legislature fails to afford relief. To
show the extent of feeling upon the
subject, State Senator Jewell received
an anonymous letter threatening that if
free grass was interfered with by the
Legislature, all the waters in the state
of Texas enclosed in pastures would be
poisoned. The mysterious sweeping off
of cattle in some sections gives founda-
ton for serious apprehensions.

THE telegraph columns of the Jour-
nal have lately contained two awful
temperance lecturers. A few days ago
man named Anderson was burned to
death in his store at Sacramento, this
state. Yesterday morning special dis
patch contained the intelligence that
Henry B. Holmes, of Bloomington, had
met like fate in his barn. We knew
Holmes well. He was not drunkard.
He was moderate drinker who "knew
when he had enough" But at last he
drank too much. Not so much but that
he could reach home in safety and 60
to his barn and see about his stock.
He had drank enough to dull his intel
lect and make him careless. He proba.
bly, struck match, lighted his lantern,
and dropped the blazing lucifer unno-
ticed upon the hay. The blaze sprang
up, and when he, turning from the rear
of the burning building, would 20 out,
he found himself confronted with wall
of fire. His sensations during the few
awful seconds left to him cannot be con-
templated without shudder. A genial
and popular man, good citizen, he is
cut off by the demon of alcohol in a
moment, leaving a widow and children
to battle with the world alone, the same
fell fend that deprived them Of sband
and father sweeping away much Of their
means of subsistence. Young man, the
only safety is in abstinence.-Topics.

By the House land.gran forfeiture
bill that passed the House, if concurred
in by the Senate, which now seems
probable, 1000, 600 will be thrown
open to settlement that would have be-
longed to the railroad companies had
they lived up to their contracts with
the government. This is as it shonld
be. 1t is nothing more than right that
those who fail to come up to their con-
tracts in such matters should pay the
penalty of their dereliction.

are calling each other liars, the Cover
nor has been charged with bribery, two
Episcopal dioceses have been created,
Henry Willard has smashed all to pieces,

Dakota for an equal rank with the bor-
