Boston " Maine Excursions.

The great railroad corporation, the
Boston x Maine, has made mastery
stock in business policy arranging
series of most delightful excursions
during the mouth of November from
all the principal towns on its various
main lines and branches to Boston.
The excursions have met with most
unusual success, even far surprising
the anticlpations of the railway Off
cinls, and have been source of great
delight add profit to the travelling
public. To add to the pleasure of the
excursions special trains have been
run and good time made during the
journeys, thus giving visitors more
time to see the points Of interest.
Thousands have taken advantage of the
low rates in these excur sions to visit
the Mechanics Fair in Boston. New
excursions are constantly being ar
ranged, and fo: all particulars appIi-

National Educational Association.

Snail the National Educational So-
clsty meet in Boston This question
will be open till Nov. %, when the
executive committee OF the association
will reach a decision. The difficulty
is that the railways, which have us
ually allowed teachers to make the
round trip on the fare of one wav,
permitting them to stop over, without
extra charge, after the meeting has
adjourned for some weeks, have
agreed that all who remain over more
than three days shall pay one.third
of the return fare additional. This
is done not to discriminate against
the teachers, but to save the railroads
from loss of income. In giving
special rate to teachers, they are
obliged by the interstnte law to allow
others to travel on the same terms
while these special tickets are issued.
This lowers the rate at the best season
of the yenr for long distance travel to
Il point where the railroads lose money.
On the other hand, those in charge
OF the meeting intended for Boston
claim that the increase of tue rate for
the teachers from a distance will deter
them from coming. Their purses are
slender, aud it Is great effort for
them to come SO far, even when the
terms are the fare one way for the
round trip.
The National Educational Associa-
tiOn deserves few words in its own
behalf. Since 1885 its meetings have
had national importance. The one
held ut Madison reached ont in this
large way, and the attendance has
grown from 4, 600 to 1900, while it
has gathered to itself such an in flu
ence that 1t is the great headquarters
Of educational movement for the
whole country. 1t is not local
affair, but a great voluntary body,
which is under the control OF
the principal educators in the
United States. The meeting of
such company of intelligent men
and women for n week in the his
toucal centre of New England
means much for them and much for our
own citizens. The Curistiau EudeayOr-
ers and the knights Templar have re-
Gently illustrated what such "A gather
ing does for the community. Boston is
n great historical centre, and when the
leaders in education come here to pay
their homage 10 Bunker Hill and Piym-

has stood for through more than two
centuries is to be taught anew IN all
ports of the country. 1t is by such
gatherings that the principles of liberty
AID patriotism are to DE learned anew.

NEBRASKANS CoMINGSOU1H
A Wagon Train Passed Through Birmingham Yesterday Bound for the Georgia
 Colony

A wagon train of four families reached the city yesterday from Holdrege, Phelps county, Nebraska. The male members of the party are O. D. Lee. F. D. Lee, s. A. Fiske and O. D. Wilson. The party left Nebraska September g, and while they have been on the road for about sixty days, twenty-five days of that time they have spent in viewing the country and resting.
 MT. 0. D. Lee of the party is a news paper man. and was an employe Of the State Journal at Lincoln when he de- cided to come east He expects to take supported by the Northen and Fftzger- aid colony in Georgia the destination of his party of homeseekers.
 MT F. D. Lee is a druggist by pro- fessiop. and will open a drug store in the Georgia colony in partnership with hls son. who is to follow.
 MT. Fiske is a lawyer.
 MT Wilson Is a farmer, and has already selected nice piece of property in the colony on which he will settle,
 MT. O. D. Lee, with whom the reporter conversed, says that there were two in- yaiids in the party when they left their Nebraska home. and both are now stout and healthy and one would not think they were ever sick a day in their lives:
 That are at least 5000 people in Ne braska who are making inelr arIdhSe ments to come south, the majority ot whom will join the Northen and t'itz- gerald colony. He says Nebraska IS a good state but the people are tired of the hard winters and the heavy winds; that crops are too uncertain there and they cannot enjoy the results of their labor when they make it. Corn, he says, is sell ing at IS cents per bushel, wheat 40 cents and oats 15 cents. Only about half crop made this year.
 The trip thus far has averaged about $1 per day for each family, and they could have made the expenses much cheaper had they so desired. The party drove through not as a matter of economy, but they had determined to change tneir home. and as the. Georgia colony was their objective point they concluded to make the trip in the way adopted In or der to better see the country.
 While the party apeared a little worse for the wear, having been on the go so long. yet the gentlemen are very intel lgent and are built of that determined mud that goes to make up good citizens They go to Columbus, Ga, from here, and from there will go direct to some point hereafter to be decided upon in the colony,
