ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OMAHA ROAD.

Tuesday, March ZIP. m.
The annual report of the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha Railway Company, for
the year ended December 81, so7 is an eminently
satisfactory exhibit, although in comparison with
the extraordinary report Of the previous year there
is a slight falling of in the net income The
managers Of the company would probably have
been surprised by any other result. The COM
parson with 1885 is more pleasing, perhaps, but
a review Of the business for three years shows
constant growth in all branches Of traffic. and it
is worthy Of notice that the decrease in net income
arises from diminished revenues Of the land de-
partment. The receipts from the operations Of the
railroad proper were larger even than those of the
preceding year, but small increase Of the mileage
reduced the ratio Of earnings per mile. A COM
parison of the business of the company for the last
three wears follows:

For some time the GOLD LEAF had lost
sight of that brilliant but cratic genius"
Will Hubbard Herman, but again he bobs
up serene and this time sends us the most
original and unique specimen of all his
newspaper creations in the shape of the
Free Lance, from Kansas City, Mo. 1t
breathes the spirit and FIRE Of Kernan's
mastery pen in every line, the colored
heading deep red) being most striking
feature OF the paper, at once suggestive of
its tone and the flag under which it is fight
ing. The Free Lance is a neatly printed
eight-page sheet, and is full of spicy read
ing.
We admire Herman, his intellect, his
genius, his honesty and candor, his bold
and fearless declaration of principles, but
have no sort of sympathy with his dogmatic
theories and socialistc ideas. But this is a
free county, and Herman has as much right
to publish newspaper and express his
opinions as anybody, and we are not afraid
of being converted to his way of thinking
by reading after him. Such genius though
as Herman has no business tying himself to
newspaper. Magazine work is his field
and here he should devote his talents
and energies. He is capable of very SUI
perior literary work-indeed some of his
productions bear the unmistakable i'm
print of genius, and could emanate only
from an intellect of high order of poetic
fancy and power.

About Planting Tobacco.

ABOUT IldnU1ng 4ODaCCOs
The Salisbury Herald, advising against
the planting of too much tobacco this year,
and says:
Cheap tobacco can be raised by the far
mers of the Western States at half the cost
that we can raise it at. Good tobacco,
bright yellow leaves, such as are used as
wrappers, can only be raised in Virginia
and North Carolina. Whenever the crop
of these two States is of an inferior grade,
down come the prices because there are
not enough wrappers then for the common
Western tobacco. Consequently, prices
tumble. AS long as the Virginia and North
Carolina farmer raises good wrapper,
prices of all grades Of tobacco will be high
The bright wrapper is necessity, the
cheap goods can only command a price
when the bright Virginia and North Car
DINA leaf can be bought.
bacco. they will get good prices as soon
quality, they lose money. We lay down
the following rules for our tobacco plan.
terS:
1. Raise all your bread and meat.
2 Plant no more tobacco than you car
cultivate seett.
8. Raise nothing but good tobacco
4. If you have no inclination TO work
hard and have no desire to bring the best
tobacco in the country to the warehouse
do not plant any
s. Always remember that the farmers
of the Western States can raise cheap to
bacco 50 per cent. cheaper than you can
while you are the only one that can raise
the bright yellow leaf.
