Lillian Lewis in "The Creole" To-
Nights Attraction.
Miss Lillian Lewis will begin her Sa-
vannah engagement At the Theatre to-
night in 1.-The Creole" The play is an
old story which need not be told here.
The role affords the actress scope for the
display OF versatility, and Miss Lewis
taxes INTELLIGENT advantage OF all the pos
sibilities. The Louisville Courier-J our
nal recently had the following: "Miss
Lewis is one Of the cleyerest and most
promising young actresses on the Ameri-
can stage. Scarcely three years before
the iootlights, she has made for herself a
splendid position. She has made hit as
Corh IN The Creole.' She carefully and
intelligently contrasts the character Of
the loving woman and the subtle, schem-
ing, polished adventures. Her Cora is
great; every word, hook and gesture shows
that Miss Lewis has made tue character
a study. This is very evident in her mad
scene in the last act, which is rendered
with deathlike stiffness relgning through.
out the house. Never before have we seen
a picture so realistic as her death scene.
None but thorough artste-one who
has studied death at the bedside--could
have rendered it in manner so true to
nature.p

would make, if carefully saved and
applied, from a half to three-quarters
of an acre rich.
Suppose he has six head of stock, he
can make three or four acres rich
every year. These three or four acres
would make more corn, hay, oats, or
wheat than ten acres ofordinary poor
land. There is another advantage in
the liberal use of manure. 1t saves
labor. Five acres of rich land well
titled, will make as much as fifteen
acres of poor land, and the cost of
labor is two-thirds less. 1t is much
more profitable to save all the ma
nure possible and apply it to few
acres, than to allow it to go to waste
and spend labor on poor land. The

lance to be neglected.

gestion are present., fiatulency, I'M

FENCES AGAIN.
BY i. L. GARDENHIRE.

Really the poor man who owns no
land would be benefited by a no
fence law. Rents are higher, because
fencing is so costly, and the land
owner could charge less rent, and
make more, if the demagogue would
allow him to dispense with his dear
bought fences.
Again: If stock was not permitted
to run at large, our waste places, to a
large extent, would be recovered
with timber. This would furnish the
people cheap fuel and building tim
Der, and would add much to their
comfort.
Secondly: This would tend to pre-
serve the fertility of our soil. In a
naked country, the hot, dry winds of
summer sweep over the land and dry
out its fertility. Forests prevent
this.
Thirdly: Forests are our waste
places, equalize the moisture, and
prevent great and sudden rainfall
and drought, and preserves the full
ness and freshness of our rivers. De-
posts of canes hold the water, and
the decaying roots of trees furnish
little channels through which the
rain passes into the earth, and burst
out on all sides, and at the bottoms
of the hills, in refreshing springs.
The influence of forests on the cleo
trio currents, produces rain along belts
of timber when otherwise we would
have no rain at all. The holy land
in Solomon's time was rich in agri-
cultural resources. 1t was a beauti-
full land of forests and hills, and sweet
still valleys and streams. Gardens
and orchards, tiocks, crops and herds
enlivened the land, and herds sung in
its forests. 1t was blessed with mich
and honey, corn, oil, and wine, and
supported five millions of happy
men, women, and children. Who is
not charmed with its beauties as seen
through the descriptions of the Sacred
writer's:
But thoughtlesS folly cut away its
forests, and cattle roaming at large
destroyed the young growth, thai
would have recovered the land and
saved it, and its vegetablesglO are
no more forever. Its cedars of Leba
non, its roses of Sharon, and its lilies
Of the valley, are sweetpoetic visions
of the past. Its hills are bleak anC
unsightly;it its valleys dry and parched
and its streams are gone. Its fertility
has passed away forever, and it now
supports only 10000 half-starveC
Turks and they draw half their sub
sistence from the pilgrims to the
holy places of the Bible. The same
causes produce the same effect: A
hint to the wise. Keep your cattle
on your own lands, and thus help t.
recover our beautiful hills with tim
Der, and save the country from hope
less ruin.

Or that Senator Sherman is unfit to

because he owns a liberal amount of
Government bonds?
Or that Senator Plumb cannot vote
with propriety on any question affect
ing Government lands, because he is
a large Western land and mine own
er?
Or that Senator Jones, of Nevada,
should not tote on the silver ques-
ton, because he owns gold mine or
two?
Or that Senator Miller, of Califor-
mia, ought I'd resign, because he owns
stock in the Alaska Fur Company?
Or that Senator Miller, or New
York, is disgracing himself by re-
naming in the Senate while an own

Or that Senotor Stanford is de-
based and degraded man, because he
votes on a railroad question while
holdingstock in the Pacific Railroads?
Or that Mr.. Hewitt should not vote
on the tariff, because he is an iron
manufacturer?
Orthat Mr.. Pulitzer would be guilty

The Questions at Issue.
Washington Post.

Washington Post
We assume that by this time the
Bell telephone people realize one or
two important truths. They mustper-
ceive, for example, that all their ahu-
sive and incorporate clamor has not
affected in any way the determine
ton of the government to inquire
into the validity Of their claims. And
if they will pause for one moment
they must suspect that by this same
clamOr they have only convinced
sensible people that there was a very
urgent necessity for the inquiry.
Whether they realize these truthso or
not, however, the truths exist. The
malignity with which the newspaper
cabal of New York has assailed Mess.
Garland, Harris and Others-even
Secretary Lamar has not escaped
has had no effect beyond showing
that the Bell monopoly has every
thing to fear and nothing to hope
from searching and impartial inves-
tigation. Nobody, save those who
have a pecuniary interest at stake,
has ventured to assert, and nobody at
all believes, that single one of the
distinguished gentlemen who are be-
ing vilified so UNANIMOUSLY deserves
the very smallest of the ISLANDERS
hurled at him by the cabal.
The only persons to whose motives
any suspicion could attach appear to
have joined forces with the Bell peo-
pie, and MeSsrs. Garland and Harris
and their associates are relieved of
the one uncongenial and injurious
element in their encourage.
The inquiry, therefore, which the
department of the interior has ordered
and which Solicitor General Goode
will now prosecute with all the re-
sources at his command, may be re-
garded as certainty. The fury of
the assault on the head of the depart
ment of justice, as well as the magni-
tude of the newspaper conspiracy in
New York-the most disgraceful cpl
sode in the history of journalism
the very agencies, in fact, which were
counted on to promote their ends,
have become the most eloquent ac-
cusers of the monopolists.
The significance of their terror at
the prospect of an inquiry has not
been lost upon the country, and now
that, as the result of bargain, all the
disreputable and suspicious qualities
are gathered together under the Bell
banner, the country will be at no loss
as to where ii may most safely bestow
its sympathy.
This investigation was launched
and will be conducted in the public
interest. There is no question of en-
riching Mr.. Garland or anyone else
at the expense of the Bell company
The object is to ascertain whether
some limit cannot be placed upon the
arrogance and rapacity Of an odious
and presumably fraudulent monop-
oily.
