(Special correspondence.) One of the principal questions to come before the coming legislature is the re-apportionment of the state into legislative dis tricts, and in this a new departure may betaken. The rotten condition of affairs at South Omaha has opened many eyes, and there will without doubt bean effort to fix the aew districts so that hereafter the strikers at the packing house city cannot by the holding back of returns dictate the complexion of the state legislstare. The moat feasible plsn will be to cnt Omaha and Douglas county into legie lative districts, thus leavia'g South Omaha in a district by itself. This plsn has been adopted by some of the eastern states. It turne over to the hoodlum element the absolute control of one dis trict but destroys their power to steal ten or twelve votes. The report of the recent attempt to rob the state treasury has aroused the skepticism of some who remember that there are two desk on foot one on part of certain contractors to get a bill through the legieutare to build expen sive bargkr proof vaults ia the state house and oae by bond companies who desire, to preveat the incoming. treasurer from securing a personsl bond, in order that they msy famish n guaranty bond at an exorbitant rate.

T0Ug8 VERY TKULY. X500000XXXX50000000XXX MTmSLMmm MRS. EVA MA.ETHST, 5dee The Secret of Mark Twain's Success. Mark Twain's literary hold on the world is so innocent of all tradition and logic that the challenge to explain the situation is an irresistible one to those who talk about him or write about him, though it does not particularly worry people when they read him. The gen tlemen who have made a study of snch matters have said his literary style is naught; that his stories are ill-constructed, according to the esthetic standards; that his travel sketches are inconse quential and scrappy; that his historical novels do not create the atmosphere of their time, snd so forth, yet these same gentlemen do not deny that he is a great writer, nor do they pretend to withstand bis fascination. Indeed, Mark Twain is curiously fortunate in hie ability to hold the attention of the men who make books and writing their business, ss well as men who have no interest whatever in books or reading except when the inter est is compelled by such an irresistible person as Mr. Clemens. This cannot be for tho mere reason of Mark Twain's humor, although such inimitable humor is a plstform on which very varied types snd grades of intellect may meet con genially. It most be because the key note of everything Mr. Clemens writes is his enmity to sham, hypocrisy, and pre tensea note vibrating the fibers of manliness in every reader and because, whether he ie a good novel-writer or not, he is a bom story-teller, with the highest srt of the typical American raconteur, with all his intuitive and acquired knowledge of human nature, his cool mastery of climaxes, snd his audacity; It is bis distinction that he is so thor oughly the American. There ie no meri dian of his country thst he does not know, whose people he does not under stand, whose life he has not lived. He comes to bis subject, be it a European cathedral or a village schoolboy, or an absurd sentimentality, with the cool. healthy, vigorous bearing of a man born and bred in the atmosphere of work sad fact where trifling or falsehood means disaster. It has been remarked more than once how suggestive of the Ameri can eagle are Mr. Clemens' bearing, hie piercing eye, and falcon profile.

Captain Smiley accompanied General Bates on the visit to the sultan of Sulu, which resulted in the treaty making that country over to the United States. Captain Smiley states that great difficulty would have been ex perienced by General Bates in inducing the sultan to sign the treaty had it not been that the dusky potentate's intense interest wss srooeed in the people of the United States merely through hearing a phonograph render rag time melodies snd reproduce hie own remarks. "The conference with ,the sultan." he said, "occurred on board the cruiser Charles ton, but be seemed to be very suspicious of us and of onr mission. We could not move him to sign the treaty. He wanted an illustration of onr power. Some one suggested thst we exhibit the phono graph to him, snd we did. At first he sad bis retinue were badly frightened and threw themselves flat on the deck, praying loudly. Finally his highness mustered up enough courage to talk into the machine in his own language, aad the scene was exceedingly amusing when he besrd his own words reproduced. That settled it with him. He signed the treaty, but hie followers continued, to be in deadly fear of the talking machine, aa they looked upon it as a device of the devil."
