BASE BALL.-The manager of the Atlantics
would inform the Biddeford Reds that there is
no need of their sending to the New York
Mercury to inquire why the Atlantics did not
visit Biddeford on Saturday, the 9Th. The
Atlantcs did not go for the reason that they
are not playing ball this season to lose, but to
earn dollar.
The Biddeford Reds seem to think that
the Portland Reds are afraid to play them. If
they think go, let them guarantee the Portland

A Trip to Nebraska.

Lincoln, the capital of Nebraska,

umns of the HERALD. IL is healthy
thriving looking city, but like ali
western cities, has an uncomfortable
look Of newness, if we may DO allow
ed the expression. The capitol build
ing is fine looking building, and
occupying the eminence which il
does, must afford q splendid view of
the surrounding country. All along
the line of the B. 81 NJ. Railroad are
thriving towns bearing evidence of
productive country back of them

Hastings is situated about 40 miles
south of west, of the site of old Fit.
Kearney, and 20 miles south of the
line of the Union Poetic Railway.
We had thought to stop and count
the number of business places, after
the usual manner of getting an idea
of small western towns. A slight
survey of the place showed that this
was more of an undertaking than
we had bargained for, and when we

The pension business has come

THE pension business has come to
be much Of nuisance. Every Con-
gress since the beginning of the late
rebellion has been beseiged with
changes in the pension law and with
applications specially granting PEN
sions to hundred thousand or more
shirks who had leg scratched in a
hasty flight over fence or who have
acquired chronic belly.ache from glut
tinous habits. This session the nui
sance has taken new phase. A bills
before Congress proposing to pension
$4,000 who were never hurt, never
sick and have no claims of privation
hardship or anything else for the good
of the Union. The bill proposes to
pension all surviving soldiers who
were in the Mexican war or in Indian
wars prior to 1s40-not those who
were hurt, sick or disabled mind you,
but all those soldiers now living, nc
matter what their condition. 1t is a
bill to give away 100000 annually
to men many of whom are wealthy
and many worthless. But we are un.
der a Reform Congress now; We
forgot.

Why Mr. Carter was not Nominated

Papers in this District are lashing
our Senator with some severity for
his opposition to Mr.. Carter as Repub.
lican candidate for Supreme Judge.
Voters at home also cruelty refer to
him as the "Milwaukee Representa-.
tive from Grant County" Mr.. Hath.
away's opposition to Mr.. Carter was
truly a surprise 20 us but as we did
not know until the convention was
held that Mr.. Carter was a candidate
we are not aware OF Mr.. Hathaway's
reasons for opposition. 1t is quite
certain that Mr.. Hathaway would not
have been renominated to the place
he now holds if Mr.. Carter had used
his influence against him and as we
can think of no valid objection to Mr..
Carter we fear our Senator will in
time find he has greatly erred. We
quote from exchanges as follows:
VIM. Z. Carter, of Platteville, lacked but
few votes of receiving the nomination of the
Republican caucus. In a total ballot of IS. he
had Is. 20, 26, 26 and 40 votes, which ex
pressed the sense of representative men as to
his fitness and worth. Mr.. o. G. Hathaway.
State Senator from Grant county, is charged
with the responsibility of bis defeat, and il he
can derive consolation from it his resources
are not appreciated by others.-Riehiand Co.
Observer.
Before the assembling of the convention the
impression seemed to prevail that either l.. +.
Frisby, of Washington, or VIM. E. Carter, of
Grant county, would be the nominee; but sur
prisingiy Mr.. Frisby developed but little
strength in the convention, and more surpris-
ing still, Mr.. Carter, though leading all com
petitors from the start to the last ballot, was
finally defeated through the malignant opposi-
ton, and misrepresentation ofo. 9. Hathaway,
who unfortunately happens to nis-represent
Grant county in the State Senate.-lHss. Pr.
Tribune
The Republican members of this Congress
sionsl District held a caucus and the vote was
unanimous for Mr.. Carter, with the exception
of the Senator from Grant county. He asked
to be relieved from the usual custom of being
bound by the action of the caucus and this was
granted on condition that he should not use
his influence against MT. Carter, Otner tnau 10
vote against hini. When the Republican eau.
Gus was held on Tuesday, as will be seen by
the report published elsewhere, Mr. Carter
developed so much strength that he would have
been nominated without doubt had our Sena-
tor. Nj. Hathaway, not made such extraordin-
sry efforts to procure his defeat. He not only
voted against him Mr.. G. himself but did what
he could TO influence Others to vote against
bim-And when pressed Tor reason for his
conduct in this matter his best answer was
that sMr. C. was go inordinateiy ambitious
that Il he was made Supreme Judge there
would be no telling what he would want next"
OF course Mr.. Hathaway had right TO do as
he pleased in this matter, but we think is bad
judgment at least for him TO use bis influence
against the very District to which be owes his
denomination to the Office which he nov holds-

Standing on an eminence back OF

our eyes never rested on as fair q

the valley of the Republican with it's
line Of timber, and the silvery wa
ters of the river cleaning here and
there, with a dazzling brightness,
under sky as beautiful as ever
looks down on us in the month OF
May. To the north lay the village

1t might make the venerable old
quaker mad if be know it; but we
actually tried to add a few lines of
our own. but failed.
We feel that we have already con.
sumed too much of the HERALD's
space, and yet we have not said half
we intended to say of Nebraska
Nebraska is perhaps no better than
many ether portions of the West or
East, but it offers advantages to the
poor man that cannot be found in
other countries where the actual
haroships of the frontier are un-
known. A productive soil and a
healthy climate. 1t is true there
are some disadvantages, such as the
lack of more general distribution
of the timber. And yet with all the
advantages 80 far surpass the diff.
culties which present themselves,
that any one with very little means
combined with determination, can
not fail to succeed. 1t is night and
we are once more in Hastings. A
bright starry sky looks down on
sea of mud that would mako q cen.
trail Iowa man shout in ecstacy. The
last train for the night has passed
on toward the West the lights go

seems TO indicate that the great
