The committee who had in charge the ball given on St. Pat- rick’s day reported that they had col- lected about $300, but could not mak final report until the report of the joint committee from the A O. H had been re- ceiyed. It was resolved that it was the sense of the meeting that the joint com- mittee of the National league and the A. 0. H. be requested to prepare a report for presengation at the next meeting of the league. e Judge Sa and address He meeting to instructions age was then introduced the meeting briefly. had visited the and not to give tha great questions befor Irish people. He considered it a great fault of the Ameri- ean people that they do not pay more at- tention to the great questions before the Irish people —questions that affect more or less every nation on the globe. One thing, though, every American knows, The irish people have been wronged from the time of William the Conqueror to the present day. The Irish people feel 1, and with good cause. They 1 a wonderful people, and for 900 years have occupied a h""fi" space in position of life and in all parts of the world. They have produced war- riors of such distinction that they seem to be myths almost; they have produced ors—Emmett, Grattan, Curran and O'Connor—such as the world has never seen; poets who have thrilled the hearts of the common people as no other hand and they have produced patriots who have awak- ened in the Irish heart a love of liberty that will not be satisfied until Ireland is free and ruled by her own free sons. Judge Savage saw in Gladstone’s bill the dawn of u better and a brighter day for Ireland, and prophesied that the day would soon come when Ireland would be visited by the wealth, prosperity and lib- hat her children haye so "long de- 1. meeting passed a_ hearty vote of thanks to Judge Savage for his address, after which an adjournment was taken.

The Flood of Wealth and Popuafation Pouring Into North Nebraska— The Imperative Nocessity of a Railroad Krom Omaha, Fort NronrarA, May 10.—[Correspon- dence of the Bek.]—The settlement cf Nebraska is no jonger a matter of con- cern to any one. With the present year Nebraska will have nearly or quite a million of people and that will be enough | tomake a good state. ‘Lhe tide now flowing into northwestern Nebraska will oceupy all the good land and this is about the last part of the state to settle up except & small strip in - southwestern Nebraska, Every day here the cars on the Fremont, Elknorn & Missouri Valley railroads come up loaded down with im migrants and the ory is, still thev come. Most of these people are from lowa, Illi- nois, Missouri and Kansas and states bordering on or near Nebraska. Surely it is no bad evidence of the fertility of the soil and surpassing interests and re- sources of our young but great state, when the people of such great common- ths as lowa, Ilinois and Kansas pre ska to these stal 1 mazed at the ¢ s pability of n Nebraska. L1 had not somelow formed a vory high opin- ion of this sectfon beforo coming here, and [ was agreeuably surprised to find the country as good as it really is. It is, in fact, good farming land clear up to the Dakota line, and as far north in that territory as I have gone. What we sup\)(m'nl was sage-brush country and sund-hillz has proved to be the best wheat nd corn land yet found in the United ates. This assures Nebraska's future, and we now laugh at our notions of a few years ago that the only good farm- ing fands in the state were those along the Missouri and Plattes, east of Island. Since then the B. & M opened up the Republican countr, the whole of southwestern Nebras| found it to be a a better country than cither the Missour: or Platte lands.” How such a great mistake was made as to sup. pose northwestern Nebraska was worth- ess, or nearly o, I cannot conceiv a good many fellows tunes by not being r awake and [ am'sorry for them. Kicking them- selves now will do no good, and the only thing todoisto try and be wiser next time. 1 am one of the idiots who use to write about the “vast interests, resources and advantages of Nebraska,” and get soun abused for doing so. I once said N 000 before 1890 ana Oma itants,” and 1 can still hear the shout of this prediction set up of *‘wild, era 1 a loon,”’ and from good Nebraskans too. The truth is we are apt not to put enough confidence i our country, and although 1 often wondered if the west would re- deem all the pledges made for it, I have ceased to wonder, and do not see Why we faith. The west Lus re- lcemed four fold every promise 1 ever lone better cbraska would bave over 1,000, 100,000 inhab- made for it, and no state has in this respeet than this_glorious young giant of the west, Nebraska. = Who doubts now _that the state will have a million inhabitants, and long be- tore 1800. Who doubts that Omaha will have 100,000 inhabitants, and that, too, within the next two years? All these things are settled, and'wu can puss on to see what is next. “Nebraska prac- tically settled, and only the filling up procdss remains to be done, which will come soon enough, Omaha is built and already a great city; the extending of her city limits alone remains to be done, and this will be done each year as her people multiply from 100,000 to 200,000 mhabitants, and possibly from 200,000 to 250,000 or 300,000, What a pity it is for Omaha, and still more for_itself, that the Union Pacific did not build into northwestorn and south- western Nebraska instead of building the Oregon Short line, The §6,000,000 locked up ~ in the Orcgon Short line without any adequate return in passengers of freight would haye pre- empted the whole of north and south- western Nebraska to the Union Pacific, and opened up a v empire tributary to to Omaha.

What is there up there do you usk? Land that will raise fifty bushels of wheat to the ucre and all other coreals in proportion; hills filled with gold, silver, lead, iron and coul; mountains covered with vast forcsts of pine, marble, granite and limestone; oil, zine and tin. "There is much mor than these in the lands and country west of Nebraska, and at another time T will attempt to tell your people of some of the things I saw in that wonderful region during a residence there of nearly four ye s, The Big Horn mountains are th erland of America and the scenery is as beautiful as the dream of any poct or painter could imugine. They have often reminded me of my native state, old insylvania, and the Alleghency moun tains where I was born, or tne fumous Blue Ridge mouutains of Virginia, only the Big Horn mountains are higher and grander and the vallies broader and her than those in Pennsylvania or Vir- ia.

The distant valley hills are covered with bon nets blue, and a glorious canopy of bright and balmy skies overspreads the whole, In winter the sheltered vall are still and* warm; in spring the sun shine kindles them into life; the snow- capped mountaing are ever in sight, cool- ing the hottest days of summer; the falls are glorious in oxtreme, and the In dian summers long and delightful. 1 still remember with ploasure riding lhome many a time through the glorions haze of ono of those Big Horn summer or fall days.
