THE STEWART BILL,
II will Probably Not Become a Law
this Year.

It will Probably Not Become a Law
this Year.
A correspondent says:
Must the annual holding or assess
ment work have to be done prior to
the FIRST Of August on all mining
claims?
When will the Stewart bill be.
come q law?
As several persons in Ketohum,
Glenn's Ferry, and elsewhere have
made inquiries of the same tenor, it
is evident that there is widespread
mis- understanding, on this subject.
1t is therefore unnecessary to state
that the Stewart bill, which will
change the date when the annual
holding work will have to be done,
has passed the Senate only. Before
it can become a law it will have to
pass the House of Representatives,
and be approved by the President.
This, from the appearance of things,
will not be done this year.
But, even were the bill a law to-
day, it would not affect the claims
located prior to its passage, as in
this country, the Constitution ex-
pressly prohibits the passage of any
law having retroactive effect. The
law would only affect claims located
in future-sfter i. shall have become
law.
1t is possible that the Stewart bill
may be made to apply to all mining
claims--to both those located before,
as we'll as to those located after the
passage of the Stewart bill. But il it
should apply to claims located before
its passage, the time for doing the
holding work for 1888 will have to
be extended seven months, or until
the first of August next ensuing.
To make the matter plain: John
Smith is, under the present law, re-
quired to have his assessment work
completed by the first of January
Under the Stewart law he would have
TO have it completed by the FIRST O
August. The Stewart law could mo-
compel him to have the 1888 work com
pleted by the first of August, 1888
hence he would have until the first o
August, 1889, to do the work which
under the existing law, he would bt
required to do by the first OF Janu
airy, 1880.

LAST week was the time appointed
for Anderson's gala week. The city
was filled with visitors, and consider
able interest was manifested in the
different contests for the prizes. The
Athens fire company took the first
prize, and Anderson the second. The
most exciting contest was the foot
race, in which Anderson's man was
successful, making the distance of 100
yards in ten seconds. Among the Wis
itors was Gov. Richardson, who was
the. guest of Mr.. J. D. Maxwell. The
ball on Thursday night was brilliant
affair, and all present enjoyed the oc-
casion. The banquet Friday night
was spread of considerable size. II
was held in Bleckley's Hall, and
though large, was well filled. The
programme was interesting, and the
banquet was success. Anderson has
reason to feel proud of the entire pro-
gramme she presented on this occasion
and it was interesting throughout.

A special from Charleston to the Co
lnmbia Register says:
The Minister'S Union here had a
meeting yesterday and after a full dis
cussion, led by the Rev. r. D. Smart,
decided to "sit down" on the Sunday
newspapers. In the words OF the res.
olution, the members of the Minister'S
Union will give mo support or counte-
nance to Sunday newspapers. II the
Sunday newspapers should refuse to
"puff'' the members of the union there
would be a pretty kettle Of fish indeed

pers. ED. y. N.
The Press and Banner would like
to know what is meant by Sunday
newspapers" Is it the papers on
which the work is done on Saturday,
and given to the public OH Sunday
morning, or is it that class of papers
that are edited and set up on Sunday,
on published on Monday? Will the
Caristian Neiqh6or kindly explain?

Potatoes.

suppose the next seasons campaign
is definitely planned on every well con-
ducted farm in Maine The owne
know the location and area Of each
crop to be cultivated. and the adapta-
bility Of each part Of the farm to the
crop to be planted. The prevailing
high price Of potatoes this winter may
induce some TO change their plans and
put in an increase acreage of these
tubers. But We must remember that
the price is governed entirely by the
size Of the crop. and that We do not
have two consecutive short crops. The
short crop this season is not on account
of decreased area planted, for there
were some 10000 more acres planted
than last year. So the very small
crop of 1881 was harvested on an area
100000 acres larger than that of 1880,
yet the crop of 1880 was nearly co..
100000 larger than that Of 1881. 1t
has been very untavorable season all
over the country for potatoes. In New
England and the Middle States the
crop was promising till excessive mois-
ture in August caused them to rot
badly; while in the West the extern
sive drought almost destroyed the crop.
The total crop is about 100000 less
than last year. This looks like large
shortage, but when we consider it is
but half bushel per head, it is not SO
serious. When potatoes are scarce.
and prices rule high, farmers will be
more economical with them. A saw
ing of IL bushels by each farmer will
add 10, 900, 900 bu. to the amount TO
be sold and most farmers can do this.
There is large surplus in the pro-
vinces. In Nova Scotia. where they
make this their special crop, and give
it their best cultivation. and use most
of their dressing on it, there are sever
al millions of bushels for export. There
is a probable crop of 100000, 900
bushels in Germany. With the price
above IS cents in Boston, Germany
can proitably send potatoes there after
paying the Is cents tariff and 10 to 10
cents freight. There are hundreds of
millions of bushels of potatoes raised
in Germany annually to be made into
starch, and if those can be more prof.
tably sent to this country they will
surely be largely sent heie. The sys-
tenn of national and inter national crop
statistics is so widely disseminated that
the intelligent farmers of all civilized
nations are familiar with the produc-
lion o. the principal crops of all ma
ions, and they shape policy in

1t might be thought that under such
