HOLD YOUR CORN.
The Pointer Thrown Out to Put IT in the
Locker Until Foreign Demand Puts
Prices Up, Then Sell 1t.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 2-The Morning
News says that q rough draft of an article
advising the farmers of the country to
hold their corn for higher prices has been
made, and that it is expected to appear in
full in the next issue of the Farmers
Voice. 1t says hold until the foreign de-
mand puts prices up, then to sell only so
much as is necessary to supply that de-
IN and, and again lock up the cribs until
prices go up again.
II continues:
Brokers are aware that the foreign de-
mand will be 30 per cent greater than last
year, when S3, 81, $50 bushels We're taken
abroad from all American ports. which will
make at a moderate estimate los, 1871, 94l
bushels for this year. Owing TO the short
ness of the wheat crop abroad, these figures
are probably on the safe side by many mill
ions. The months of the heaviestexport dur
ing the year 1892 will be in February, March,
April, May and June the present Euro
pean crop will supply the needs of foreign
ers until after January. when the demand
will be made on America. If the farmer
follows his usual habit of hurrying his corn
to market during November and December
he will miss this foreign def1and, and tie

HISTORIC CHANCELLoRsvILLE

The Famous Battlefield Purchased and
to BE Improved by a Syndicate.
The historic battlefield Of Charlottesville
has been purchased by syndicate of gentle
men from Washington and Fredericksburg for
a large sum, the exact price not being known.
The estate consists of eight hundred and
forty-five acres, and included in the purchase
was the Chancellor House, which will be
designated Memorial Hall. The purchasers
of the property have been incorporated into the
Charlottesville Battlefield Association, of
Spottsylvania County, Va. This association
intends subdividing the old battlefield into
lots, at the same time preserving as far as
possible its historical interest.
Its capital represents one hundred thousand
dollars in shares of ten dollars. A limited
number of shares are offered at five dollars in
order that those who participated in these
battles should have the opportunity of pos
sessing portion of this famous ground. Each
share has coupon attached, which entities
the holder to one memorial lot, 25x10O feet.
Each State which was represented in these
battles will have its lots set apart independent
of the others, and in the centre plat 100 feet
square will be decided to such State for monu-
mental purposes. The Chancellor House and
five acres surrounding it will be reserved as a
Memorial Hall and fitted with fine hall, read
ing and reception-rooms, and War Museum
of relies from this and adjacent battle-felds
One acre will be dedicated each for National
and Confederate Monument, one acre for a
Memorial Chapel and ten acres for Soldiers
Home. The officers of the company are as
follows: Gen. G. Fl. I. Coils, President; Gen.
Joseph Dickinson, Vice President; Col. Rufus
B. Merchant, Second Vice President; Thomas
E. Woods, Treasurer; Capt. JamesS Wyckoff,
Secretary and General Manager.

A New Subdivision.

A new subdivision containing 500 acres will
probably be placed ON the market next fall.
The property appears on old maps under the
title of Crampkin's Lot and Buck Lodge. 1t
is situated two miles northwest of the Mary
land Agricultural College, and is one and a
half miles from Charlton Heights Station
The land is now under cultivation, and it is
the intention of the owners to subdivideit into
farms of from five acres up. Mr.. j. f. Dyer
controls the property.

STANDS PAT ON HIS RECORD.

Gov. Hogg, in answer to an in
quiry, replies as follows, and his
language not only has the ring of
the true metal, but is at the same
time emphatic and assuring: Il am
a democrat aud expect to uphold
democratic principles. 1 am rail
way commission man, have done my
best to form a capable commission
and expect good TO come from it.
But above all l am q law and order
man. The reputation which Texas
bears abroad must be changed, If a
man steals a horse and fees to
Canada, I suppose we will have to
let him 60. But if he commits muir
dur, or any one of the great crimes,
he will be brought back if it takes
every dollar in the treasury and
bankrupts the state. Shooting must
stop. The practice of carrying dead
Iy weapons must stop. I am in
earnest in this matter. No man can
calculate the human blood and de-
tered immigration and repressed
enterprise and barred out capital
that in the last decade crime has
cost US. The peace officers in this
state will find a friend in me. I
want the criminal hunted down and
brought to the bar of justice, and
made to pay for his crime. Whether
1 am governor for two or four years,
this is my platform.

THE ALIEN LAND LAW.

The Austin correspondent of the
Houston Post says the alien law
may be unconstitutional, but it is
old as Abraham and as universal as
human government. 1t may be un-
wise and inexpedient, but it is an
American principle, and no temper
airy financial pressure or ezigent
clamor for alien money can expunge
it from American politics.
1t may bear the faint of selfish
ness and e1clusiveness, but it is
neither undemocratic nor unrepubli
can as factor in American politics.
For two consecutive conventions
each of the great National parties
has declared the doctrine with en-
phasis, while the Texas democracy
has repeatedly proclaimed the same
principle and demanded legislation
on the subject. Nor is this all.
Texas has had laws and amended
laws against alien land ownership
from the early days of the republic,
and the present statute is but re-
vival of the statutes of the fathers
and the crystalization of popular
clamor into law.
The act may be defective, and
doubtless is, and it may go farther
IN its sweeping provisions than the
emergency demands, but that is no
reason for denouncing the legisla-
ture for its enactment, or for aban-
doning the principle in the unqusli-
fed repeal of the law. On the con-
trary, we should applaud the legisla-
ture and ask the next general as
sembly to amend it in those parti-
culars that are Objectionable.
Alien corporations own about
acres of land in the
United States and Territories, while
individual counts, dukes, lords,
barons and boobies have pre-emp-
lions in the forms of mortgages,
trust, deeds, lien notes, foreclosures
and straight title deeds to several
additional millions. and yet there
are persons in America who want
more of tie same sort. Are we
tickle, foolish or fallen from our
high estate?

NAPTHA VAPOR.

An exchange says a new intoxi-
cant has been discovered in naptha
vapor. All person has to do to go
on tear is to take few smells of
it. This opens the door to any
number of cheap, economical
DRINKS. All a man has to do is to
buy a small bottle of naphtha and
every time he feels like taking a
drink he can just pull the cork out
and take a smell. He can not only
get drunk himself but he, can treat
all of his friends without it costing
him cent. He can take all of his
money, except a quarter. home to
his wife on Saturday night and then
go out in town and get gloriously
drunk and bring home with him
enough to keep him comfortably
full all of the next week, provided
his wife don't get hold OF his bottle
and smash it. AS a promoter of in
temperance, by bringing it within
the reach of all, this is a success.
But while it places DRINKS within
the reach of all it Will prove ruinous
on the business of saloon-keeping
and will no doubt be looked on with
disfavor by all barkeepers.
