A surprise For Horace Greeley.

In the early days of the suffragist
movement Miss Susan B. Anthony had
no more bitter opponent than Horace
Greeley, says writer in the Boston
Transcript 1t was for long time his
custom to wind up all debates with
the conclusive remark, 1.-The best wo-
men know do not want to vote"
When the New York constitution was
being altered in 1867 Miss Anthony
laid train for him. She wrote TO
Mrs. Greeley and persuaded the ed
itor's wife not only to sign a petition
for woman's suffrage herself but to
circulate the paper and get 300 sigma
lures among her acquaintance. In the
committee Mr.. Greeley, who was chair
man had listened to the debate ana
prepared to introduce to the conven'
ton an adverse report. He was JUST
about to utter his usual settler when
George William Curtis rose.
mfr. Chairman" said he, Il hold IN
my hand a petition for suffrage signed
by 800 women of Westchester, headed
by Mrs. Horace Greeley"
The chairman's embarrassment coulo
hardly be controlled He had found
at least one of "the best women
know" wanted to vote, but he reyeng
ed himself later upon the leaders bJ
scathing editorials.

NEBRASKA AND CANADIAN LANDS.
All the signs Indicate that the emigra-
ton from the United States and from
our own state to Canada which has
been rapidly increasing for series of
six or eight years, will this year be I'M
precedented. the volume of emigrant
travel and freight this spring being al
ready so great az to tax the transporta-
ton facilities on the principal routes.
IL is a new and interesting phase Of the
mighty movement which the last three
or four decades has transferred millions
Of people to the west i'm this country.
being merely a DETECTION of it north
westwardly across the international
boundary.
It is hardly worth while to inquire
whether many OF these emigrants are
not leaving behind larger and better
opportunities than they are likely to find
thus by expatriation. because when
movement of this sort reaches such pro-
portions it grows by what It feeds on.
Multitudes go for no better reason than
that other multitudes are going, and
wherever the land hunger of the race
starts rush no argument can stop it.
The enormous enhancement of land
prices IN the plains beyond the Missis-
sippi and Missouri rivers, together with
the increase of the population in that
region, is n powerful force back of the
movement to the cheap grain and graz.
ing lands of the Canadian northwest.
OF these there are almost illimitable ex-
panses, across which railroads are being
extended with great rapidity.
Yet the average western farmer who
owns or is in fair way to become owner
Of a parcel of Nebraska land may well
hesitate and ponder seriously before
yielding TO the prevailing impulse and
the enchantment which distance lends
to the new Canadian provinces. 1t loses
nothing I'm the seductive handling of the
theme by the interested promoters Of
emigration and agents of land specula-
tors The natural tendency. it should he
remembered, is at the same time to look
only to the favorable side of the new
and untried field and to overlook the
manifold advantages Of the old which
sheer familiarity often leads men to
despise.
1t is the bedrock fact that those who
have stuck to the Nebraska farm have
prospered amazingly. And there is the
further fact that it's limit of value and
utility is far from having vet been
reached, even in the oldest settlements,
and that a vast amount of cheap Ne
braska land still remains available for
the enterprise Of our people.

Trees are Natures leafy temples
Where she chants her voiceless praise
To the Giver of the beauty
Lavished all about our ways.
Green their branches wave above us
Like an armOr 'gainst the sun,
Throwing back his lances from US,
TIL the strife of day is done.
Faithful friends, who shield and shade US,
We their need of honor pay,
AS we come with mirth and music,
Planting trees on Arbor day.
Chidren's sweet and ringing voices
Rise i'm gleeful harmony,
In their hearts a germ implanted,
Growing with each growing tree;
God and Nature made earth lovely
Health and joy their loving plan;
Crowded cities, bare of blossom,
Are the dreary work of man.
still the breezes of the meadow
Fresh with fragrance of sweet May,
Yet will blow through streets from
branches
Spginging from our Arbor day.
Let us fill our lives with beauty,
With a clasp on Natures hand;
Let her soft influence sway us,
Draw us in this leafy band.
Skies the fairest. bluest. DER US,
Balmy airs about us blow,
While bright CLEANS OF mellow sunlight
In quick flashes come and go;
And our hearts. in glad accordance,
Joining I'm her blissful lay,
AS our hands ply cheerful labor
So we welcome Arbor day.

DELAY IN THE SENATE.

Nothing Is so certain about the senate
rate bill debate as that the end of it Is
uncertain. The prospect for agree.
ment on time to vote is apparently no
better now in the middle of April than
it was in the middle of February. Sena-
tor Aldrlch, as leader of the the oppo.
sition 10 the Deliver Hepburn measure,
and to any measure for efficient railroad
control, still manifests as obstinate
hostility as from the first to bringing
the matter to a decision, and refuses
every proposal for that purpose.
Public business. no matter how I'M
portant or what the country's demands
may be- proceeds by unanimous consent
in the senate. That is to say, minority,
or a small coteTfe of senator's or even a
single senator may by objection indefin-
itely delay or defeat a measure of great
public concern as has been often demon.
strated. Such rule obviously arms
with disproportionate advantage the
corporation power which is VIGOROUSLY
formidable in the senate.
1t would be indescribable folly for the
corporation representatives to abuse the
dilatory possibilities of the senate to the
extreme of preventing action at this
session. That would raise n nation.
wide revolt which would bring serious
consequences upon the senate and all
concerned in the wrong and put the
/ rough hand of an outraged people upon
the railroad corporations Yet, If there
is to be decision and action. there is
every reason in sound policy, even from
the standpoint of expediency, for the
corporations If they could only appreci-
ate the temper Of the people, why the
voting date should be soon fixed. II
would in a measure put at rest the pub
lie mind which is growing more sus-
picious and indignant every day at pro
tracted delays i'm this matter.
