Ohio will bs decided next Tues
day. What the decision viii be IL
Is impossible to tell. From the
best information we can gather
from all sources, the Republicans
appear to have the advantage in
the fight, although both sides
seem to be fully equipped both as
to speakers and money. Ohio be-
ing q Republican state, is more
likely to assert her Republicanism
on full vote than when the
vote is small. The excitement
caused by the prohibition move
ment will likely bring out a full
vote, and this must inure to the
benefit of the Republicans, unless
it shall be somewhat neutralized
by the temperance question itself.
In less than week we shall hear
the result. We will wait and see.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

IL is understood that Secretary Fol-
ger will yer, soon issue q circular OF
instructions to the proper officers, di-
rectipg that the money due to the
branch lines Of subsidy railroads must
be paid. 1t appears that the Pacific
railroads applied to the President to
have the money paid to them under the
decision Of the Supreme Court and re-
ferred the matter to the Attorne; Gen.
eral for his opinion. 1t Is learned that
the opinion Of Brewster is that the
roads must be paid. This opinion was
sent to Foleer and the latter will act
upon 1t at once. as above indicated.
The action will result in the payment
TO the Central and Union Pacific rail-
roads Of n vast sum Of money. running
away up iato the millions. Ever since
the Thurman act went into effect, uu-
der which the Pacific roads wero
charged % per cent Of their net earn
inSs 10 satisfy the claims Of the Gov
crnmept, the money for carrying the
mails and for the general transportation
of the army and Indian supplies, has
been withheld on all lines operated by
these companies. Under this practice
II large sum duo for carrying mails, etc,
over the Utah, Colorado and Nebraska
branches Of the Union Pacific, and the
Southern Pacific uHd other lines UprI-
RIel by the Central Pacific Company,
has been withheld.
Under this opinion OF Brewster, not
cnly all these lines will bo paid here
AFTER, but what is due mas, b- paid up.
OF the 5000 miles Of road operated by
the Central aud Union Pacific, only
>, 100 miles, or that actually built I'M
der the subsidy act, is subject to tue
Thurman law, aud GU these lines only
can tho Government withheld the
money earned in transportation as q
-al-otf for the claims against the com
Us.ics. The claims OF the Union Pa
e.iic Company arc understood to DC
what Dillon referred to in his letter to
Teller. This decision will mako n big
hole il the surplus which has been
piled up by tho Postolico Department
Tor last year.

The DUda' AmerieanV,. or American

has been thrown upon his origin and
Development. There is no uso consult
ing n dude hinsslf on this subject. be-
cause Sis mental horizon is SO limited
that he does not even know Le is u

1t Is held by many that the dude is
the descendant. through a long course
OF evolution, Of the dodo, because Of the
similarity in name aud because the
dodo strutted about rs though it were
pleasing to look upon. whereas it was
Ridiculous in appearance. Moreover.
the dodo Is described US stupid and
incompetent" These points certainly
favor this theory, buL-one objection has
been overlooked. Tho dodo was strong.
and VAS feared by numbers Of smaller
81 ccies. No one, however. fears n dude.
lie lacks the wit aud the physique to
harm by word or act. Consequently.
the claim that lie is u descendant OF the
dodo Is contrary to the theory Of tho
survival of the %iitt,st.
