surerln ! , nnll ( knowing the Influence wielded :
by The Bee I nppll to you to bring up some
concertcll and organized plan for the relief
of the poor of Nebraska. I lived In Nebraska -
braska nine years anll I leow the courage
anl patience of her people well , and when
they have the means of relief within them-
setves the poor can be safely left to their
cart : but a wide and universal calamity lke
the one Nebraska has undergone should be
m et by prompt acton , something like bondth
Ing the State for aid .

Is rich , , and with one good season a half nill.

lon can gold enough from
the fertle soil to keep her per comfortable
unt a harvest can be gathered and the bur-
len wi be so sublvldel } that It wi never
be felt. Let no man deceive himself with
the Idea . thnt eastern people wilt not fnd ( out
Nebraska's want , all , t her people are nl-
lowell to suffer , her shame , for they will.
My home Is In Nebraska and I love her
ami hope to spend my life In her borders.
Ice have a little son who sleeps lu a lonely :
cemetery In Nebraska , and I wnnt to do my

can find out what Is . .needed The Omaha
Bee has grown with Nebraska and Is ns much I
an Integral part of her as her sunshine. and I
you who have your finger on the pulse of r
the state can find out , If you will , If there Is
want there and how It' ' may bo remedied.

From Columbus Barracks , : Ohio , coum es ?
the following suggestion to the uushiess
men and caplnlsts of Omulm who desire -
sire to promote the grwth of' this cit ' :
I a railroad were to run up - Mosquito
creek and extended on In that dfrection , It
would reach Minneapolis , Minn. , and If It
was further extended from Minneapolis to
Duluth , the entire One from Omaha to Duluth -
; ;
luth would not bo far from " ' "alr line . "
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. At the present prIces of labor and
material I could bo cheaply constfcted : ,
T.S.

Duluth would go very far toward n s ; o-

liHGANIZING TiE SENATE.
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 would not be
good politics to try to play such a sham upon
the people before a presidential election .
