On the occasion of ••Nebraska Ony" nt tiie Nashville centennial exposition Senator Allen, <«ov. Holcomb anil Hon W. J. 1 try an made speeches. Koom is found here for a portion of the remarks of the senior senator of the state. lie said: My Fellow Citizens: It was very thoughtful and kind of the manage ment of the exposition, to set apart a day for Nebrasku, and wc gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded us to Join with you in contributing to the success of your enterprise. There are many Nebraskans here in person today, and all are present In spirit and good wishes for your success and the prosperity of the Nashville exposition. I want to say a word in favor of our state a state of boundless plain and generous people. You iu Tennessee, who are rich In the memories of a great MllM ill mug uini npienuiu mstiirj, nn»,v not have given to Nebraska much at tention. passing it, witli the thought that it is a young and growing com monwealth of heterogeneous popula tion, possessing no history of conse quencc, and destined to remain o,i the frontier for many years. Hut t am proud to say to you that America no longer lias a frontier, except those "por tions of our domain washed by the oceans and the gulf of Mexico, and bounded by Canada, for in every state and territory of the union, civilization can be found in its highest, form, and is rapidly increasing and becoming more permanent ana widespread and permeating every spot of this hernia pile re. Nebraska has just passed her thir tieth birthday. She is one of the youugestof the sisterhood of states. She was admitted to the union in Feb ruary, 1807. The state is 209 miles wide from north to south. 41.3 miles from east to west ami possesses an urea of 70,855 square miles, or 49,187, 080 acres of land. The greater part of it—perhaps 95 per cent— was original ly a great plui/,. or a succession of pluins broken by rivers traversing the state from the northwest to the south east and emptying their waters ihto tlie Missouri, and these plains are now dotted by trees planted by an energetic population. The rivers are intercep ted by smaller rivers and creeks, whose waters are emptied into them, thus affording the state umpie water under normal conditions. The eastern half of Nebraska is at fertile as the valley of the Nile. It annually produces enormous crops of till the staple cereals and grasses, and is u typicul stock raising and agrieul : tural country. The western half lias much valuable agricultural land, al though a large part of it is more prop erly devoted to pastorinl pursuits. Nebraska, as a whole, is one of the best states in the union. Tkc climate is genial in summer and not unpleas ant in winter, notwithstanding there arc occasionally severe storms. Hut they are of short duration, and tin winter, witli the thermometer 30 at degrees below zero, is not felt more keenly than in Tennessee, u moister climate, at zero. Nebraska is a perfect state in point of health-giving qualities. 1 know of no place where there is such universal good health as in that state. The cli mute is not debilitating, but energiz ing. and those who come among us soon find themselves in a bracing at mosphere and returning to lioa.lti> and energy. My friends, next year there will be held in Omaha, the metropolis of Ne braska, a city possessing If,0,0(Ki in habitants, under the auspices of the Trans-Mississippi congress, the Trans* I Mississippi und International exposl i tion, to whicli we cordially and heart* ! ily invite the people of Tennessee and | the southern states. We want you to come to Nebraska ne.rt year, and join I witli us in making tlu closing iluys of the ninteenth century the best arid most brilliant of our national history, (live us the beneUt of your ripe experi cnee and mature judgment, and atrord us an opportunity to show you our hos pitality. In the sun-kissed land of many rivers, lying to the southwest ward of tile great Missouri, where civ ilization is yet new,but well developed, we need your encouragement and aid, not material aid. but moral encourage ment, igid if we ean persuade some of your young men and young women to settle with us, we will assure them a hearty welcome and an equal oppor unity with all in the race lor wealth and station. rian fur a (Irani 1 urn Carnival.

GALLINGER'S HOT SHOT. The New II*mpvlilre Senator** L»*t Loi ter to Krhurt Acilmt lluform. Concord, N H , Oct, 18.—United State* Senator J. II (iallingcr made public yesterday what lie said was hi laf; contribution to the controversy with Carl Schurz, which arose some time ago over the senator's criticism of the civil service law. The follow ing is an extract: “You make a great ado over certain utterance* I have made regarding the civil service law. For instance, you say I said %0,0o0 employes were placed under the protection of the law under the last order of President Cleveland, while there were but 31,373. The statement I made was upon the au thority of the lending newspaper* of the country, and I am still of the opin ion that It was nearer correct than the figures you gave, ltut as a matter of fact, it is utterly unimportant whether the number was SO,000 or fifty. What I especially criticised was the fact that those porsons were placed under the protection of the law without examination, a flagrant vio lation of every principle of justice and fair play. “Under that order there are in office to-day iu Now Hampshire many per son* who could no more pas* a civil service examination than the Cardiff giant could teach theology. You ad vised that a rule should be promul gated that would keep them there In definitely. Fortunately for decent politics, two judicial decisions have been recently rendered against your (lew, and the controversy now in progress between the Secretary of the Treasury and the civil service com mission will doubtless end in a way not pleasing to you. “You likewise make much noise over the fact that I said President C'leve land s last order was dated November 2, while you assert that it was issued in May. Now, Jo you not know that the rule governing that order was dated November 2, so that tho order was not accomplished as a fact until that time? If it can be proven that it was not so, I will cheerfully withdraw tho charge," COURT MARTIAL LIKELY. Secretary Alger 8*nd» an Order In He Sard to Captain Covering Washington, Oct. is. — Secretary Alger to-day, after a further con sultation with the I’resident and with General Miles, Issued an order to General llrooke at Chicago in re lution to tlie case of Captain L.
