TWO STATES ShUFFlEO IN.
tDsily. States.

IOo1ly SeateA
Hi1oofy, It seems, will never KNOW
which of the twin Dak0:as came first
into the world - Q fall-blown State.
Whether or not the world would be
greatly benefited by The knowledge,
II It were obtained, does not greatly
matter it il . fact Ill the same that
President Harrison wilfully and de-
libsrately threw . mystery around
the attachment Of his signature Ia
the two proclamations, and not only
does no one apart from the Presi-
dent, but not even does the Presi-
dent himself KNOW which Of the two
proclamations he signed first.
This Is how Mr.. Harrison managed
to compass secrecy, even from him
self: The two documents, unlocked
1t, were laid face downward on the
desk on . sheet Of paper and then
they were shuf{led until even Q three
card monte expert could not tell
'tother from which. When this
stage Of the game had been reached
the proclamations were turned face
upward but protected from the gaze
Of the curious and everybody else
by the sheet Of paper upon which
they had been laid. The sheet was
slipped aside until the blank spaces
for the Presidetial signature were
exposed the autograph was append
ed ; the ink allowed to dry the pro-
Carnations turned over once more
and again vigorously shufiled. The
two Dakotas were admitted to the
Union Of States, and, although one
Of them was ahead Of the other |
just the length Of time it took the
President to write his name, history |
will never be able to record the
name Of the leader.

"Teassr'' scores the Tax Collector
for mixing up Vaudeville and Nadi-
sonville property in the State Land
Salss. He b in error in this. The
Collectors list was alright when he
made it out, bat before publishing
It he had to submit It TO Auditor
Steele for examination, and the lat
ter ollcial made tho erroneous cor
rections in blue ink. and certified tn
them - correct in their changed
and altered condition, and there
was no alternative left but to
''follow copy, right or wrong. Tho
records in the State Auditors Office
must be slightly mixed.

Congress assembled last Monday
and the President sent in his mes
sage, but it Is 90 long We haven't
had time to read it.
The New York Sun calls it q
scrapbook and remarls: "Long -
it Is it might have been twice -
long on the same principle Of con-
struction and neither more nor less
valuable. On the whole, it might
have been left unwritten without the
slightest detriment to the peace and
honor Of the country or the prosper
ity and security Of the people, and
without the slightest loss to the fifty
first congress now assembled for
the business Of legislation. The
message i . disclosure, and what
It discloses i . president without
ideas and IN administration with
out . policy"
This expresses fairly the Demo
cratic view. and perhaps the rsserv-
Cd opinions Of many Republicans.
Some Democrats comment on the
pasernal tone running through the
message and tie suggestions that
h general government should take
aharge q the domestic coocerns Of

FOREST FIRES m THE SOUTH.

The opinion has generally obtain
ID among lumbermen that the forest
Of the South are in little danger o
destruction by fire owing to the lacl
Of underbrush, the usual means O
carrying the flames from one tree (.
another. This may Be true to ,
large extent, but the burning recent
" Of several large tracts Of South
ern timber shows that the famel
spread very rapidly under curtain
conditions. The pine straw on the
ground burns like finder and il easi.
y ignited. Captain s. r. Polite
vent, superintendent Of the Louis
lana road, in speaking on the sub
jest Of forest fires, said that al
though Of common occurrence,
they are getting to be serious atfairs.
In tbespring forest fires are frequent.
but 1t this time Of the year they ars
unusual, and are, on account Of
the long drought, more dangerous.
Very little fear il felt that the forests
win Be exhausted, because they are
% extensive but this can't last for
ever. and yearly fires are destroy
ing more and more timber"
It i said to Be dry in these forests
1t present that even the swamps are
dried up. The green mold which
forms on the ground when . stream
dries up d always damp, but now
t has been % long since any rain
has fallen that even this b dried up.
When the flames come In contact
With this dry mold it burns like gum
powder, and Ill tho plants in the
burn with 1t. An
he trees are scorched or burned.
4 any have been cut or bruised In
NY way they win catch and burn
'ery rapidly, and when the fame
caches the heart it dies out but
ills the tree. Hundreds Of trees
'rs killed in this way. True, q
'rsat many survive the IRE and get
'ver the effect, but all whose bark
~ been burned through die. They
nay live for several years, but they
ever get over it.
A tract that has been burned over |
'resents one stretch OF black. |
Everything l. burned, and the |
round charred and crisp, seeming
0 breakwhen one stepped on it. All |
igns Of grass, except in . very few
laces are gone, and about the only
reen thing visible i the tops Of the
~ which have escaped the flames.
