I'iik reception and banquet given to the republican members of the legis lature at Nebraska City last evening, celebrating the elcection of M. L. I lay ward to the United States senate. was a great success. Many prominent citizens, other than members of the legislature, were present. A xi'MBEi; or eastern newspapers have been urging G. D. Meiklejohn as a worthy successor to Secretary of War Alger in cssj he leaves the cabi net. It is a well-known fact that Mr. Meiklejohn has conducted his depart ment with exceptional ability aud it is certain there would not bo"a dissent iag voice heard in Nebraska. It is interpreted by some that in ease of the passage of Neweil's bill electing the city attorney and city marshal by popu'ar vote in cities of the second class that the old act will be repealed and that an entire new 6et of city officials will have to bo elected. This would not be looked upon with favor by present incumbents, but would terminate all right for the republicans, as there is no doubt this is going to be a republi can year. Steakino of the death of Congress man Greene the Lincoln News says: "The untimely death of Congressman V. L. Greene points a moral that needs no elucidation. Possessed of a keen and polished in tellect,the master of sarcasm and invective, a well rounded man, yet he allowed human weaknessea to sway him and eventually to kill him just as ho was in manhood's prime. It is a and finish to a life that onco premised much. It is. a lesson that every young man of Hmbition may co-i with profit 10 himself." INFORMATION AND OPINION.

Transports, although in need of re pairs, are being kepr. in the s-t vice, and the Dixie, which has just been transferred from the navy to the transport service, will be sent to Cuba instead of Manila, as at first intended.
