THE NEW SOUTH.

M. William Saunders IL Enthusiastic Over
Its Growth and Prosperity.
''The south is moving forward as rapidly
as the west ever did" said Mr. William
Saunders Of the Agricultural Department to a
STAR reporter this morning. Mr. Saunders has
been in Georgia attending the annual session
of the National Grange and he comes back with
enough newly planted enthusiasm in him to
''boom" half dozen states to the limit of
prosperity.
THE GRANGE AND THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
The Grange and the Farmers Alliance are
entirely distinct in every way" said he. "The
alliance is giving it's time to political work, but
the grangers are raising crops and prehting
thereby. BY and by the alliance will be doing
the same thing and wondering what il did with
all the valuable time that has been lost The
grangers are not dipping into politics as a
body. but they are paying a little attention ia
matters of political economy.

THE HOUSE.
A noticeable feature of the opening Of the
second session Of Congress on the House side
today was the scarcity Of members on the
floor until near about time for the gavel to fall.
The galleries were crowded with spectators
and the floor presented the scene Of conven-
ton hall before order has been called. But the
noisy multitude on tho floor was not composed
to any considerable extent of members.
The crowd was composed chiefly Of men who
wanted to see members. The calm gentlemen
who are always on hand to see members were
moving about as gently as if the session were
already ten days old, while all the people about
them were slapping each other on the backs,
shaking hands and talking themselves into an
advanced stage Of husk;ness.

the republicans had most Of the flowers,
yet in point Of beauty and

democratic side, eclipsed the House. Az a tri-

However, the faculty has refused to
reconsider It's action, and the students
have decided not TO return To- the col
