FOR OHIO IMPROVEMENTS.
Cincinnati Will Ask an Appropriation of
SlO.bOo,oOo Annuity,

w bi <AaA III <hPb' SPi "a
Sl0,5oo,ooo Annually,
The commercial interests OF Cincinnati
have taken up the Ohio river improvement
subject in business like manner and well
organized movement has been inaugurated
directed toward obtaining an appropriation
Of $40, 500, 900 annually for 10 years 10 make
the waterway navigable at all seasons and for
the execution OF the gigantic plan Of slack
water dams proposed by Colonel W. L. Mer-
rill in 1874.
The Davis Island and Beaver dams are a
part Of the general project Of the Ohio i'm
proyements which have been mapped out
partially. The work is so vast that the de-
tails have never been considered by the Gov
ernment engineer beyond estimating the
cost OF 10 dams between Plttsburg and Wheel
ing which would cover only n small portion
of the distance.
The plan was first suggested by Colonel
Merrill in his report as..ofIlcer in charge Of the
Ohio river improvements In 1874. No gen.
eral plan has been subsequently offered. and
the movement started in Cincinnati favors its
adoption. The design OF the dam is similar
to the one employed at Davis Island. The
approximated estimate OF tho cost OF the i'm
provement from Pittsburg to Wheeling was
placed at s7,474,G23 in 1874, but surveys since
made have reduced the amount.

A SINGLE TAX COLONY.
Five Hundred Families OF Unemployed
Start One in Alabama,

Five hundred families of tho unemployed o,
the Pullman works at Pullman, ILL.,, will ar
rive in Alabama during this week and estab-
lish a single-tax colony after the ideas Of
Henry George, near Dlakeley in Baldwin
county. They have secured 1000 acres OF
fine lana at So per acre, along the beautiful
Tensas rives. Mobile is ~ miles across the
bay from Bakely and will be the market for
what surplus products the colony produces.
For three months tho colonists expect to
experience hardships, rs there will DO little
income for them. After that time. however,
the land will yield abundantly Of the fruits
and vegetables Sawmil and brick-making
machinery have been bought on time, and il
is believed here that the cooperation colony
will prove success. A Lutheran minister,
named Van Kooch, formerly of Ohio, but
now OF Alabama, is the originator Of tho en-
terprise. The colony will be located about 10
miles from the Gulf Of Mexico.

Ohio county by LOO plurality--a Republican
gain OF 1000. II is the first time for many

There has been a falling off In the Demo-
cratic vote and n gain for both the Republl-
cans and Populists, the latter gaining the
most. 1t seems likely that Governor Nelson,
Republican, is reelected by an increase over
his plurality of $4,000 two years ago. The
labor vote has chiefly gone to the Populists,
and that party has held most, II not all,
OF Its former strength throughout the
state.
Nelson the republican nominee for COVER
nor. is elected by $4,000. The entire re-
publican state ticket has probably been
elected, although the republicans concede that
Bermann, the democratic nominee for state
auditor. ran considerably ahead of his
ticket and 1t is barely possible that he has
won.

NEW STATES A FACTOR.
Utah, New Mexico and Arizona in the
Next Senate

Next Senate.
A point that has been overlooked in CON-
putting the completion OF the next senate is
the admission of Utah with two United States
senators. All the formalities should be com.
pleted In November, 1895. This would make
In all 30 senators, and as the next senate now
stands the politics of the Utah senators
would cut an important figure.
Another probability which arises In the ad-
mission OF New Mexico and Arizona, which
may be accomplished in time, so that four
more senators would participate In the organ
lzation OF the next senate. 1t Is there
Tore quite likely that the battle for the
control OF the senate will yet be fought
out In Utah, New Mexico and Arizona
next year. The admission OF these new
new states would make total OF "a senators
aud any party to control would need AZ for n
majority; with the vice president the Dem
ocrats could control the senate with AZ sen-
