TIE ENJOYMENT or SPRING.

To those who inhabit the long stone tunnels in
New-York, facetiously called streets, the in
formation that spring. with all the charms which
nature puts at that season, is at IFS height
comes like asstatement about some farof country.
We hear il and do not doubt it, but fail to re-
ah2e it very thoroughly after all. There is no
very decided spring change in granite pavcments
or bIOwnStune fronts. The sparrows may chlrp
Eule boulder and the German band IS head
playing in front of tho hquor-store on the corner,
but these things do not move the soul. We eX-
tract the bones from our North River shad, and
the thought occurs TO Us that It must be spring
bnt the fact is not borne in upon MS as II is upon
the MN who dwells in the country and hears the
cheerful croak of the frog and listens few hours
later to the soft dripping of the spring rain on
the awakening earth and rises the next morning

We are inclined TO think that the man who
lives in the country rather has the advantage Of
the city dwcllcr ut this season Of the year if he
cares anything for nature in her most delightful
mood But for the city man who simply lives in
! the suburbs We have not the same amount Of
envy No man can enjoy nature when he hears
the s:64 accommodation rumblng up the truck
and he is ten minutes from the station and running
faster at every step. lie hasn't time lie nav

Investigated the Aqueduct was presented to the
Senate yesterday. 1t contains little or nothing
that is new, but it will serve to call to mind the
conspicuous service done by the committee in
bringing about reorganization of the Aque-

given that the Aqueduct, when completed, will
be an honest and substantial piece of work, and
we are also told that but for the defects which
the investigation brought to light the tunnel
would have been in danger OF colapsing after
being put in use. How soon that will be is
uncertain, but it cannot be too soon for the good
of the city.

WHERE NEBRAsKA's PRODUCT
GOES

The department Of agriculture at
Washington has just issued a report on
the distribution and consumption Of
corn for March which is interesting in
pointing out that but few OF the corn
growing states produce sufficient sur
plus for commercial distribution.
Neither the New England, Middle nor
the Pacific states and territories grow
enough corn for their own consumption.
II is the Western and Southern states
which grow the great crops and which
supply the stock to feed the rest OF the
country.
The section, however, which consumes
the largest proportion OF the supply is
the western corn growing group OF
states. This is obvious as 1t is the cattle
and hog growing district of the country.
The Southern corn growing group OF
states, including the cotton growing
states, at this season OF the year always
show smaller consumption and larger
per centage on hand than any other
section OF the country, for the reason
that 1t is not cattle feeding district
for beef making.
1t would appear, therefore, as between
the western and southern states, that
the corn crop of the latter is distributed, e,
while it is merely the surplus of the
former over and above home consump-
tion which is used for commercial dis
tributon. Strange as it may appear,
of the twelve states comprising the
western group only seven, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and Kansas, grow a surplus for
export. Corn is consequently a crop
which is largely consumed in the local
ity where it is grown. Only about one
sixth of the entire crop goes into gem
eral distribution by transportation
eithe, by long or short haul to the
next county, to the east or to the Pacific
states aud territories. The export Of
corn to Europe has not exceeded two or
three per cent except in few years of
comparative failure of competing feed
ing material in western Europe. These
are facts both instructive and curious
and demonstrate what becomes OF Ne
braskais great product.

OHIOs MUNICIPAL ELecTIONs

OHIO'S MUNICIPAL Ell LECTIONS.
The Importance of Mondays NUM-
cipal elections in Ohio is in their posi-
BILE effect upon the state election next
fall. In November Ohio will elect state
officers and members of the legislature,
and upon the latter the fight will be
most vigorous and earnest. The next
general assembly will chose a successor
to Senator Payne, whose term will ex-
pire in 1891, and it is understood that
the senator desires vindication. Ever
since the republicans Of Ohio made the
charge that Mr.. Payne obtained his
seat in the senate by the bribery of leg
islators he has been under cloud,
which even the votes Of republican SEN
ators against the investigation of the
charge could no dispel. His usefulness
was impaired and his influence dimin-
ished. He stood before the country
under the burden of an accusation which
was not disproved, and which was sup
ported by most convincing testimony.
In Senator Payue's home city, Cleve-
land, tho question of his vindication
played an important part. The demo-
cratic candidate for mayor has long
been one OF his most faithful and useful
followers, aud was conspicuous in the
contest that made him senator. He
was Defeated in Mondays election,
and although there were several
strong influences operating against
democratic SUCCESS, the result may
fairly be regarded a5 a rebuhe to the
vindication programme.
But the friends of Mr.. Payne are not
the sort OF men whose zeal can be ex-
hausted bya single defeat. They are
| shrewd politicians with abundant re-
sources which they will use freely, par
| ticularly so in view OF the possibility
that in tho event of the next legis-
| lature being republican, it may send
| Mr.. Halstead to the senate. The cam
paign OF next fall in Ohio promises,
therefore, to be fought largely upon the
! question OF the senatorial succession,
with great deal of money cer-
tain TO be employed on the democrgtic
side.
Tho result Of the municipal elections
was on the whole encouraging to repub-
lican chances in the fall. In Cincin-
natl the republicans had to fight, in ad-
dition to tine democracy, disaffected
element which put in nomination Ctr
zeB's ticket, yet they elected their
candidate for mayor and a majority OF
the other oity officials, so that they viii

nicipal machinery. They were also
successful in electing most OF their can
didates In Toledo, and as al
ready noted will have control OF
the city government OF Cleveland, but
two democratic officials having been
elected there. In the smaller towns
the republicans generally held their
own. The trouble to be apprehended is
factional conflict. There appears to be
want OF mutual confidence between
some OF the leaders, and there are GER
tain men whose personal ambition may
lead them to acts perilous to the unity
and harmony Of the party. II these
dangers can be averted the republicans
will carry Ohio next fall and add one to
the narrow republican majority in the
United States senate.

TIE outrages perpetrated by band
Of Dakota ruffiaus in north Nebraska is
likely to land some of the regulators in
eternity. There is no apparent cause
for the attacks and kidnapping of
settlers by this gang. The charge that
they are cattle thieves is simply blind
to frighten them out OF the country,
and give the stockmen free range for
their herds. Such outlawry cannot be
tolerated, and unless the authorities
promptly interfere, the outraged
settlers will take the law in their hands
and deal out leaden justice to the regu-
latOrs.
