" I would bo about 100'mies. . shorter than the shortest rairoad , line between Omaha and Chicago. I would run through a rIch , thickly Bottled agricultural country , with I . ' three good .cltcs on'lt , consequently the local : traffic would bo profitable. I ' Coal has been cnr'ed fri' Lake Erlo ports to Duluth , a distance of 1,000' mies , at a low a rate as 10 cents per ton I must , therefore , be manifest to the dulest ; :2 : reasoner that this would be the cheapest freight route between Omaha and the sea- boards.

There ha been considerable s culaton I 11Iniged In by statesmen and writers concerning - cerning the Ilrobablity of I. reorganization of thc senate by the republicans In the Fly- tourth congress. The prevailing sentment Ilns been that no change will occur , and the I statement has been made by Senator AldrIch I th at . Inasmuch as the republicans have not I clear majority of the senate , I wi bo I Impossible for them 10 reorganize that body . M oreover. I has been usual ' regarded as I ) gool1 politics for the republicans to llermlt the demorts to maintain their orgamllzatlon . , , so that the ( republicans cannot bo blamed for nny legislation which may be enacted betoro I the next presidential campaign. All of these stories have been plausible , nnd It Is generally believed that for the 1 above reasons , anti for other reasons not SIC- ci nctly stated the republicans will do noth- Ing In the mater oC a reornlzaton at the i se nato. But there are strong reasons ter tin re organization oC the senate , In fact , reasons practcaly umlamiswerable In the first , plaec , tit ers will be forty-five republican senators ; nnd thlrtY-Irlno democratic senators , wIth six populsts on the side. not counting for eiher : domtnant or leading party. The democrats w ill be In a minorIty. Tint peplo cannot befooled fooled Into the belief that the democrat con trol the senate , even Ir I the republicans should permit them to maintain their orgnnlzaton and hold all or the others.

I Is I : iv eli known that Senator Jones of Nevada and Senator Perer at Kansas are geting I rcady to make a jump back Into the repub I hi can party , and they are ready to act with the republicans In the reorganization at the senate , and also In shaping legislation.
