t'tiless the legtslnturo of Ohio now In
session re-elects to the United States
senate the man , \\ho o candidacy was In
dorsed by the stnto n-iinWIcnn conven
tion at Toledo last summer and again
Indorsed by neatly every county conven
tion held In the state , who made his light
for his parly and for himself In the open
and carried the state for lepiiblleanlsni
despite the bitterest and most malignant
opposition , every Ohio republican ought
to hang his head In vuiy .shame and con-
tiltlon. S' ( nntor llanna Is fairly entitled
to ie-electlon.
There Is nothing strange or unusual In
the situation at Columbus. Senator
Hiinnavas apiKilnted to the senate by
the governor of the state at the urgent
solicitation of topresontatlvo Ohio repub
licans' . Ho announced that hevould be
a candidate for election to the seat he
Is thus temporarily llllllig and asked the
Indorsement of the paity thiough the
state convention. That course may not
have been alse one , Indeed many IP-
publicans thought the step e.\tia haxaid-
ons , because it fotced Mr. llanna to the
fiont as the paiamount issue of the
campaign. Jlut the cndoiricmont was
accorded to Mr.'llanna and every 10-
publican candidate for the legislature
untlt'istood that Mr. llanna was the can
didate of Urn party for the senate. Kvery
H'publlean candidate was directly or by
Infeience pledged to vote for him when
the opportunity should come. The repub
lican managers at Columbus have done
light In le'fuslng to have a caucus on the
senatorial matter. Senator llanna Is al-
n-ady Ihe p.nly nominee and eveiy sen
ator mid lopicsonlatlve Is under obliga
tion to vole for him In the joint session
of the two houses.
The fact that men elected to the legis
lature by lepublican voles have joined
hands with the democrats to effect organ
isation of the legislatuie * o that Senator
I lamia's defeat may be encompassed and
are engaged with democrats in the dls-
icputablo business of Introducing bills
Intended as insults to the senator Is a
dLsgiace to Ohio. As well might a re
publican elector prep.iiO to vote for a
deinoeiatlc candidate for piesldont In
the oloctm.il college. If they go fnrthei
and accomplish the election ol a demo-
cut to succeed Mr. Hanna in the senate-
the disgrace will lie a national one and
will be felt by the paity thionghout the
country. It is a ciltlcal time and the
occasion calls for plain woids.
The fact that a few pioinluont Ohio
ippuhllcans , men who have been lionoied
by the p-irty in other days , have .sanc
tioned the tieacheiy of a few of the 10-
publkan legislators and while pretend
ing to le ) loyal to their party and due to
the undeilying principle of lido of the
majoilty have been .secretly conniving
at defeat of the republican candidate
for the heiialo , does not e\cuse th e
le'gislatois tor the ciiiue they evidently
contemplate. It Is not yet too late to
save the lepublican parly in Ohio fiom
Impending dl.sgr.icc and lepubllcans
everywhere will watch with renewed
intoiest the outcome of the negotia
tions under way at the Ohio state cap
ital.

nnnrlreds of New Hngland farms once
valuable aie now lying idle and AVOISO
than worthless In pioof of the latter day
siipiemacy of the western and middle
state fanners and of the change which
has made of New England a strictly
inanufactuiing region. It the abandoned
Now England fauns aio to be again used
( hoie must be some substantial changes
in conditions under which farming Is
done.
As an Illustration of the condition of
farming in Now England the case of
Lituhfield county , Connecticut , Is cited.
Theie are twenty-six towns In the
countv nil but four of them being farm
towns , but the population of the twenty-
two farm towns is almost exactly the
same as eighty ycais ago. and . ' ! ,000 less
than forty yeais ago. In thhty yean ?
the number of cat tip fed for meat has
decreased fiom 4t.ri" ! ( to : H.S2. : ! and in
value fiom Sirrr'S . " to ! ? , - > SO,7i2 : , or
neatly two-thhds , and faun stock in gen-
oial fiom ? U.1VI,2I8 ( ( o $1.071m , while
the value of the farm lauds has do-
ci eased fully one-half.
While business men and philanthio-
plsls have bi'on busy with pioject.s for
getting the suiplus population of the
cities located in colonies on the western
farms these abandoned or/half / used New
Hngland fauns have not been over
looked. The company which has been
formed with the head of the New Yoik
wool o\chingo at its heart to puielmse
New England farms and sell the land to
actual occupants In small lots on easy
terms may accomplish gloat good for
New England and for those who gb upon
the fauns. The existence of land In ( ho
west that can bo secured almost fico
render. * the success of any exclusive ten
ant system of farming In any put of the
United States Impossible. The fauns
must bo owned by those who woik
them. New Ungland fauns have bojn
abandoned largely because thc.v aii
owned by poisons who aio not farmoi.s.
When the wiong.steps are retraced theie
will be few unused launs In the eastoin
hi.lies.
The woik of reclaiming the New Kng-

Tlio Transiiilssisslppl nnd Intel na
tional i\po.-llou : ! is the most gigantic
enterprise that has ever bucn i oj ctod
and midei taken in Omaha. While the
lesponslblllty for Its success has been
voluntaiily nsMimed by the ollicers of
the coiporatlon organl/.ed to enlist pir-
tlclptitlon In the exposition by the
United States government , the various
htatesand foie > lgn countiics and to tahio
the menus for cairylng the project Into
effect , eveiy cJtl/.en of Omaha must
shine with the management the glory
and credit of successful achievement or
dlscre'dtt and odium that would attach
to fallme cither partial or complete.
That the exposition has passed the
peilod of doubt and uncertainty l.s an
established fact. Thu question whether
there will be a Trausmlssis lppI Kxnosl-
I ( Ion In 1SIW , which confronted the man
jageini'iit six months ago , l.s no loager
asked by anybody. The cole sil amount
of prcpatatory work done In the vast
Held of operation has materlail/ed. In
the face of almost Insurmountable ob
stacles the exposition lias secured con-
I grc.slonal appropilatlons for tho.eie'f . -
i tlnu of the magnlllwnt goveininent build
ing now under construction and a. lllinral
| appropilatlon for the hngest national
4'xhlblt made since the Columbian
Woild's fair. A number of foreign na
tions have slgnllled their Intention to
emulate the example of the United
States goveininent , and more than one'-
half of all the states of the union are
now making active preparations for
cicdltable u-presentatlon at Omaha. The
supe-ib exposition buildings ate assum
ing massive pioporllons and tlio grounds
nlicady piesi'iit a most impressive
.spectacle.
It now lomalns for Omaha to give the
management of the exposition that lib
eral and undivided siippotl which It
must have In order to ledeeni the
pledges made and obligations assumed
In the name of Omaha. It icmalns lor
every man and woman In Omaha to
assist in this gieat woik , not metely
by dliect contilbutlon , but , by a display
of local pilde. The hundreds of thou
sands who aio to be the guests of Omaliti
the present year should Hnd Its citizens
prepared to entertain them. Kvoiyl home
should be beautified as far as possible ,
and eveiy stieot and avenue should be
In condition for the Immense Huongs
that aie to gather In this city dining the
exposition season. To enter Into the
proper spit It our citizens must see to
it that needless poles , signs and other
eyesores be lemoved and a llboial quan
tity of paint and oil bo applied upon
weMther-boaton stiuctuie.s.
Last , but not least , Omaha must pio-
clalm it fiom the housetops that visitors
will bo ptotcctcd not only from
footpads and pickpockets , but also
from Conscience-loss hotel men who
may want to taue advantage of
the pressing demand lor hotel
ae'conimodalions. We never must lose
sight , even for a Ingle moment , that
Omaha's ciedit is at stake in making
the Tiansinlssisslppl Exposition a mem-
otahlu event if not an eta In its lilstor.v
to which it can point foiever with piide
and satisfaction.
The Chicago tcel trust has ro-incor-
poiated under the laws of the state of
Illinois with an annuitized capital of
? S7KJO,000. ( It is .sate to assume that
t\\o-tliiuls of this colossal sum is watei ,
on which tlio Incoiporalor * expect their
plant to pain nt least ( i per cent a year
over and above opetating expenses , and
oidinaiy wear and tear. In the course
of time the steel octopus will go to the

Hut financial wisoacies and political
numbskulls will persist in ascribing the
periodical lneliistil.il upheavals which
destioy credits and strew the land with
financial wiecks to the lack of sullicleiit
cuucncy to do business and the Milli
ons effect of our money standaid. The
only ledeemlng fo.itme of the fast and
loose coiporation laws which permit
over-capitalization by stock companies Is
tlie lax imposed upon the Inllated con-
coins. The Chicago steel syndicate
which was Incoiporated for fS7,000,000 ?
for example had to pay $87,000 into the
state treasury of Illinois for the privilege
of legalizing a gigantic titist that must
sooner or later &oilously endanger the
safety of our indiistiial fabilc.
Govctnor-clect Shaw of Iowa has

r pcnolon , Is assured of a much longer term
of llfu than can bo expected by the average
healthy man of corresponding age. It ap
pears that the average ) rate of mortality
among Invalid pensioners U only fouitcen In
1,000 , whllo the experience of Insurance
companies MIOWE that the death rate among
Irsurablo risks at the ) same period of lifo is
something over thirty-one in 1,000 ,
There evidently Is a largo class of our
pensioners of vvhom It may bo said that few
dlo and none resign , The patriotic citizen
must feel proud to know how a grateful
country not only prolongs the lives of thwo
suffering invalids , but even enable. ? them
to Increase In numbers as the jears roll by.
Wo are constantly told In funeral orations
tions and by pcraonal observation how the
ranks of the old soldiers are diminished by
death , but the pension olllco does not hear
of It. Tlio pensioners may dlo , but It would
appear that their pensions Iho after them.

MASTER OP TRAINS.
Tlie armv hid gone Into winter qtiartei

lake as many men as I needed with me an
proceed to act as olllccr of the tialns en th
railroad between Harper's Terry and Hela
Junction. I was careful In my selection on.
finally detailed nine nun and a sergeant a
my i arty. My first dutj w is to make mv
self at Ionic with the Kill lead people , nnd
did this by showing 1115 c-dcrs to Mr Onr
icU , the piesldent of the road 1 soon fouiu
tr-at ho had nollfiol the conductors of m
duties nnd that I wail master of the rend n
long .is I was on the trains My duties wcr
not Irksome nor hard. All I had to do was t
examine each Individual on the train , satlsf
mjsolf that they were all right ; nnd , If not
to put them off at the first station whci
thcro was a guard able to tnkn care of then
and have them sent to headquarters on th
next train. Of course , I met with nnny nd
renturcs , borne of which tried mj patlenc
not n little. Iho first ono of note was tint o
a general olllcer and h's ' \.lfe I was paaslnt ,
( hiou h the train about 9 o clock one nigh
examining the authority of each paasengei
nnd over } thing was progressing finely , wlici
I en ino to a man wrnppcd up In a military
i leak and his wife , and seemingly boll
pslcep. I Knew at ouco ho wns an olllco
fiom the way he wns dressed , so cautlonlnc
mj men to bo careful , I stepped up and po
lllely afiked him for hU authority for pass
Ins o\er the road.
Who nro you , slr7" ho asked authorlt.i
lively , waking tip.
"I am the olllccr of the train , " said I
touching my cap.
"What do you want ? "
"I suppose you have authority for travel
ing over this rullroad ; It its my business to
see it. "
At this lie started up and etich n tirade o
nbtiso as I suffered then and thcro knows
few comparisons.
OUT I3URST OP WIlTH. .
"I am General - , " and ho throw bacl
his coat , exposing his uniform. "Now , sir
I wish to know who you i arc and by what
authority you ait ? " ho said , savagely. I was ,
prepared for hlra. I d'aplayed my orders
from the secretary of wnr and stood firmly
In the position of a soldier.
"I haveno orders with me , " ho continued ,
after leading the Instructions from Wabh-
"Wo are traveling to Washington , " said
his wife , now apoaklng up , "and It ! a shame
that an olllccr should be disturbed In this
way. " r bowed to the lady , nnd said that I
was very sorry , but thnt my oideis were Im
Iterative and that I had no option In the
ina'tci.
"My orders arc in. tno baggage car , " ex
claimed Iho general , "and If you want them
you'll have to get them. " He bpoko In a
very Insulting way , but I maintained my
politeness.
"Sergeant , " eald I , speaking In a low and
pollto tone , of voice "you will remain here ,
and If this gentleman does net show his
orders or some authority , put Iilm off at
.ho first station where thcro is a guard. "
The sergeant saluted , and Immediately as
surned my place 'by 'the ' gentleman's side ,
vid I passed on. The w'holo affnlr had been
transacted so quietly that most of the other
passengers know llltlo of It , but ono or two
showed sorno curiosity to know what was
going on I was now fully determined to
Hake- the otncer show his pass or other cre
dentials , nnd I walked forward Into the other
rnr. Hero I met the conductor , who , It np-
> earcd , had been matching the -scone. "What
are you going to do with him ? " ho asked ,
pointing to the other car.
"I am going to execute my orders the same
vlth Jilm aswith anybody else , " 1 replied.
Do you know him ? "
"Xo , ho haa an annual , " answered the
conductor , ando passed on.
Thu inoro I thought of the uncalled-for
abuse I had suffered from the ofllcer the
nero my anger arose. Now I was deter
mined to put -him off at the first stop , lethe
ho consequences bowhat they unlght. I
made my tour through 1ho train , nnd was
ropasslng the odUer , iwhen the sergeant
called me to him. "Ho Is getting his bag-
gngo , " said he In a whisper.
DUG UP 1MB PASS.
"All , well , do your duty , " I replied , nnd I
> 3Bscd on. On my entrance to the next car
mot the baggage master carrying a small
nllso. I know what It wns , but passed on.
'uo engineer whistled "down brakes" nnd I
tnow wo wcro about to stop. I was very
anxious to eco Qiow the sergeant would
nanagc , to , as thu train linked , f stepped
own on the ground and cast my eye toward
ho olllcor's car. Not a soul alighted and
ho conductor gave Iho signal for starting
A moment more and v.o wcro Btoamlng rnp-
dly along. I knew that the olllcer hnd done
omethlng satisfactory to the sergeant , hut
waited until wo had reached Relay Junction
or the particulars When I met the ser-
; eant -asked him how ho had fixed It with
ho unknown olllcer.
"Tho conductor fixed It , " said. ho.
"How ? " I asked.
"Ho whlspricd awhllo to thu officer , Iho
officer give fliim hli checks and pretty soon
he haggago master brought him ills valise
vhIcli ho opened nnd rhoncd mo an order
or him to relluvu General Hancock. That
was lutlefactory and I let him ia ; "
"Whu would you have drae If ho hadn't
any orders or anything clso of an olDclal
character ? " I asked
"Mo'Viiy I'd have executed your or
ders to the letter and put him off at Summit
station "
I was glad that It had occurred the way It
ladTwo
Two weeks after I mot the sanio officer at
irlgado hcadquai era. It was evident that
in had. . teen talking about me. for Just n.1
approached ho w < 3 flaying "Taat'b the
olllcer now , call him Ici "
I wa'i called In and asked the particulars
of my trouble with the olllcer on the train
was loath to tprak of the matter , but on
ny commanding general ordering mo to
ipcak I related the particulars When I
iad I'.tilshcd the general arose , and , taking
no by the1 hand , eald1 "Olllccr , If you lud
[ jno anything but what you did do you
vould have done wrong end laid yourself
OIHCI to punishment. I now wish to upologi/u

waa very angry , but I muut ( .ay , after thlnk-
ug It over , that you pUyed the gcntleman'H
