T he horae will be taken to South America, State on.May.3d, A bill was introduced in the Senate,yes- terday, in the bame of Senator Fassett, which, it enacted, will be of more practical value to the state than a dozen so called “reform” measures. The bill provides for a Commission to devise general acts to take the place of the scores of local and special bills presented every year. The commission is especially, to provide fuller powers of local self-gov- ernment for comities, towns and villages, to devise general iaws for corporations, except banks, now under a banking code, and to frame general laws on the subject of tax- in g and exempting from tax -charitable, religious and other societies. The measure has twice been suggested by Governor Hill in his annual Messages, and the suggestion necessarily meets with favor from every person familiar with our present methods Of legislation. The effort to carry out the' suggestion should succeed. - , The bill calls for an appropriation of $12,009, and objection may bo raised to ff on the score of expense; A moment’s reflection, however, will satisfy -any one conversant with tho subject that th e annual pecuniary gain alone to tho state will more than compensate for the expenditure.

Announc e* I n addition to 'the above, we might add th at notwithstanding the fact that Prof. Hill recently referred to the effort being made to open the Lake Level of the Chemung canal as a“ eanal.steal,” it is nevertheless a fact that it is to be opened and that the first move in that direction was the award- ing of a contract to W. H. Shepard Sons of this village for a swing bridge to span the canal at Watkins, and for which they are to receive $2,819 o f the“ steal” from the State. Already Shepard & Sons have employed two additional mechanics wbo reside in Havana, and who own homes here, bat Who, on .account of the. dullness of work here in their line, have had to seek employment, elsewhere, v i z : Mr. W .: Hawley Barnes and Mr. Floyd Gaming. They will receive some of the“ steal,” as will also James A. Cramer, William Weaver, W alter Tillts, Arthur Cramer, Frank Beers, and other employees of Shep- ard &Sons whose names we do not re- call.

Take the single state of Iowa and the corn reached tn 1888 the en- ormous total of 821,629,962 bushels. The average price paid was only 28 cents per bushel,but even at this price the com-; mercial value of the crop was $74,000,000. This is almost equal to tbe value of all tbe gold, silver and lead mined in the. United States in 1886, which was $87,- 535,000. It is almost a larger sum. than all tbe railroads in the United States paid in dividends.on stocks in th at year.

Mr, Hill paid several Visits to Albany to learn Governor Tilden’s wishes: in regard to the nomination. Mr. Tilden being' -t}yr Democratic candidate for President, he of course had the right to dictate th e nomination for Governor. But Mr. Hill fo r a long time found Mr. Tilden .unwilling to disclose his choice. Finally the. day before th e convention was to meet, Mr, Hill came to Albany, saw Mr. Tilden, learned bis secret, and started for Saratoga,®) nominate Mr. T ilden’s can- didate. TherevwcrAi-gqod.many newspa- per correspondents‘‘aboard the train and they knew that Mr. H ill if any one was aware of Mr. Tilden’s selection for Gover- nor. A group of the new spaper then were gathered about Mr. Hill* and ope of their number s a i d : ‘Come, Mr. Hill, tell Us who is Mr.-Tildeu’s candidate. You m ight as well tell u s now f o r When we get to Sara- toga we shall soon discover whom you ate pushing for Governor.’ Mr. Hill smiling- ly replied, ‘No gentlemen, I cannot show you my band until I reach Saratoga. Then T w ill promptly.’ And to alt. their urging he Invariably replied, ‘I paid I would show my hand when I reached. Saratoga, and I intend to keep m y -agreement.’ None of the newspaper correspondents were able to read this riddle. Yet they were Somewhat chagrined upon reaching Saratoga, when Mr. Hill said to th e m : *1 told you I would show-you my hand when-we reached here- Well, here it is : Samuel H and of Albany,’ Mr. Hill b ad Mr. Hand nicely running for Governor next day, When he declined to be a candidate an d Lucius Robinson was nominated. _',' we... In many ways tbe opening of the Seneca Lake level o f the Chemung canal will be a benefit to Havana. The friends of the movement—those wbo are actually doing somethingto secure it are as sincere and honest antTtbeir motives are as pure io this work as Prof. Hill's in anything in which he is engaged, yet he has been so short-sighted' as to allude to it as a“ canal steal.” Th e nomination of“ Corporal” James Tanner, of New York, to be Commissioner of Pensions, is enthusiastically received by the old soldiers, particularly tbose who carried muskets in the ranks. Tbey regard the appointment as a special recognition of themselves. If the sentiments expressed by ex-soldiers are a fair sample, this ap pointment bids fair to be one of the must popular ever made by any President. -Apple, Pear, Cherry,-^lum, Peach, Apricot a n d Quince s t o c k ; UsO N iagara and Wyoming Red Grape vines, and everything pertaining t o Nursery T rade.
