Prksidicnt E. M. Correll calls the
annual meeting of the Nebraska Press
Association for Thursday, Jan. 25th,
in Lincoln at the office of the secre
tary of state. In the call the presi
dent says; "Matters of more than or
dinal y interest ate to come up for
consideration, and it is hoped that ov
ery editor iu the state will be present.'
The Expresa will add to the urgent
call ot the president that the time has
arrived when Nebraska publishers
should work together as one man for
the protection of newspaper interests,
Indeed they should have commenced
the work of co-operation live years
ago before Nebraska politicians had
made the Legislature au instrument
with which to cut off the already mea
gre legal patiouage of the newspapers ;
but if they take hold of the matter
now it is possible to regain some of
the patronage that has been lost, and
secure the enactment of laws that
will bear comparison with the news
paper laws of other states, without
working any injury to the public or
the statesmen that the people' have
sent to the state capitol to represent
them. President Correll is correct to
a dot etery editor should be present,

The Pennsylvania system, of which
Mr. G. B. RobeitJ is president, still
leads the-country, 6,483 miles and of
course the world although it is com-
pased of several subordinate systems,
each with its general officers. The
Missouri Pacific system, of which Jay
Gould is president, is also composed of
several distinct roads aud corporations
the Missouri Pacific, St. Louis. Iron
Mountain and Northern, Internation
al and Great Northern, Texas and Pa
cific, etc., though with one set of offi
cers. Coming down to a single ' cor
porative organization under one title,
with one list of officers for the whole
system, the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul takes the lead with its 4,500
miles, though several other companies
are close behind. Scientific Ameri
can. Ten years ago a republican commit
tee, at the head of which was Senator
Windom, made a report and submitted
arguments in favor of the construction
of the Hennepin Canal. Ever since
that time prominent republicans like
IVindom, Ferry, MacMillan, and Hen
derson have been working in the in
terests cf water transportation to the
Atlantic seaboard. Within a week the
Iroquois Club of Chicago, composed
exclusively of democrats, has forward
ed a petition to congress making' sub
stantially the same argumentnts as
presented by republicans ten years ago.
On one point at least both parties agree
and there would seem to be no good
reason why a republican congress
should net do what a democratic con
gress is sure to do. pass the Hennepin
Canal bill. Inter Oceau.
The Herald is glad to learn just
as we go to press that the state board
of agriculture has re-elected Major
Wheeler as their secretary for the
coming year. The magnificent suc
cess of the state board and the state
fair last year, is proof positive that he
is the man for the place.
The republican members from Cass,
are supporting J. C. Cowin, of Omaha,
for the senate. Mr. Cowiu is one of
the brilliant men in the state, and a
sound and un trammeled republican.
We believe the votes of Messrs. Hall
and Wolph will be satisfactory . to
their constituents.

taken advantage of to compliment
'friends and bv manv: ' mho desire: to
come out "on" too" above evervthlns

ballot indicated this much to a Cf r-
taint y, that out of the many candi
dates presented, - Millard, Mauderson

the Choice of the body; the most gen

are to the effect that the chances are
greatly in favor of Mauderson, Coweii
and Millard, the latter having the most
pisitive strength. Hons. Wolph and
Hall have cat their forlutit-a with
IIou. J. C. t'owen. believing that It
will give general satisfaction to their
constituency.
J. Sterling Moiton takes the lead as
the democratic candidate. Connor and
Steickel as anti-monopoly. There is
being a strong effort made to secure a
combination of these two last elements
but it is not probable that such will
be the result. The Cass county lobby
are here in full force, leaving out
Douglass, it is more largely represent-
ed'than any county in the state.
The legislature is not doing much
that is of practical importance, and
will not until a senator is elected.
Representatives Hall and Wolph are
recognized among the most reliable
members in the house, and are laying
the ground work for the making of a
good recoid.'
Representatives Draper at:d Xeville
although in the minority politically,
come to the front on business, and, so
far, show good judgment; and, I think.
will make safe legislators. James M.
Patterson, our senator, although not
demonstrative, by reason of his good
judgment aad decisive character car
ries great influence in that body. Cass
county need not be ashamed of her
representation iu these halls; but the
republican party has it to regret that
the delegation is not solidly republican
for if it was, her piwer would be
muchgreater in the present senatorial
contest. W.
The Third House Elects a Senator.
The momentous question which has
been shaking senatorial aspirants from
'ceuter to circumference" for several
weeks was decided in the Third house
last nikht iu a highly satisfactory
mauuer to tho gcutlemau from Afri-
co, Mr. Johnson, at least.
Immediately upon the announce
mcu: that nominations werelu order
it became evident that aspirauts were
numerous. C. II. VauWyck was put

cribed him as the Colossus of Rhodes,

also entered for the race.
At thittjuncture Governor Pearmau
appeared leading upon the floor ot the
House Mr. William Johnson, from
Ethiopia, and announced that he
would address the audience. The
member from Africa had scarcely be
gun his speech when the hum ot im
patience gave way to a prolonged
silence. The audience were held spell
bound by the eloquent-c thai came
from the lips of this child of nature,
whose childhood home was among
the jungles of the dark continent, and
whose only Inspiration had been the
song of the crocodile and wild glad
6uort of the corrugated hippopota
mus. The eflect was electric. The thun
der of applause that reverberated
through the hall at close of the speech
told that the senatorial lightniug had
struck. Mrs. Vegatable Compound
Piukham's fricuds withdrew her
name, General VanWyck's friends
declared that since the otl.er old wo

would also withdraw the general.
