It is now rumored that Governor Hill, of New York, does not seek the first place on the democratic presidential ticket, but in case Cleveland is nominated, leaving New York out, he desires the sec ond place on the t;cket. And still again it h said we are likely to have a European war. This country will he too much oc cupied in politics this year to pay much attention to war rumors unless our neighbors over the pond mean business, in which event they had better hurry up about it, and give the farmers of this coun try time to put in a bigger crop of spring wheat. As the political campaign opens innumerable little newspapers over the country will likewise open their wings and flit out in the t pnngtime to fill 'a long felt want'' for a few brief months in "mould ing public opinion," battling for the right and a bonus of about $50. They will not "mould" to any great degree, and will not be missed when the election is over. The political campaign of the presidential year is upon us, but the only fight that has yet been developed is between Grover Cleveland and Gov. Hill, of New York. And right here it might be remarked that the impression under which the state of New York is laboring, that she is the majority of the United States, ought to be corrected with a no uncertain thud at the polls. Cleveland wants Oregon. In this he is modest. The people of this country had bogun to think lie wanted the earth. If Oregon is all he wants he ought by all means to come right out and get it. It might expand his ideas enough to enable him to see that the people did not need his little pocket veto of the river and harbor bill. He will hardly want Oregon, however, next fall, for he will find the state with its usual republican majority. The scheme to successfully evade the provisions of the inter-state commerce law, which is said to have originated with a former commissioner of the railroad traffic pool, has been spoken of, and probably has some foundation. It suggests that all the leading rail-i roads of the country shall co'uol idate under one management, to be called a "trust" or "railroad clearing 'house," or by any other comprehensive title by which means competition between rival companies would be kiiled, and railroads would again return to the old high rate basis of transporta tion charges. Congressman Hermann is at work for his constituents in Ore gon. He has appeared before the interior department with an appeal signed by many settlers in Harney valley in Eastern Oregon, repre senting that a large per cent, ot their lands are certified as swamp land by government agents, con trary to tacts. They state that on many of these tracts they are re quired to dig fromanine to fourteen feet to obtain water, on which tracts there is produced all the usual crops, and that if the selec tions are confirmed to the state they will be deprived of their homes. Mr. H., who has person ally visited that country, corrob orates these statements, and had an interview with the secretary of the interior and earnestly solicited that their re-examination be or dered, and that these people be allowed an opportunity to estab lish the true character of the lards. Government agei.t assert that there are about fifteen per cent, swamp land, as tested by them, while Representative Hermann insists to Secretary Vilas and the commissioner of the general land office that there is not to exceed five per cent, that is swamp and unfit for tillage, and that all over this will soon be occupied by bona fide homesteaders, who are already easrerlv making settlement and o 1 taking chances of favorable adjust ment. The department promises to . suspend confirmation, but requests that proof shall be submitted at t once, specirying Dy qun-rrer sec tions and sub-divisions the tracts returned as swamp, and which are alleged to be fit for cultivation and not swamp. THE EVENTS OF HISTORY. The student of historv finds that ! only the so-called great events of the world are recorded, and that wars are the main topics that oc cupy the historical page. The warrior who conducts the bloody carnage of a battle field is given ample space, but the sub duer pi the virgin wilderness bv the peaceful arts of husbandry, and who really accomplishes more towards the civilization and ad vancement of the country than any other individual, is ignored or given but a passing mention. "The men who have striven to get at the spirit of history have found it by studying the indi vidual." This sentence, culled from the address of Professor Oren Root, of Hamilton college, at, the recent annual meeting of the Oneida historical society at Utica, deserves to be recorded in golden letters. He further said : "Until recently historians have dealt with that which was great rather than small. It is certainly true that there has been an awakening in historical research in this country. The antiquarian is no longer an object for sneers. The world if learning to appreciate the effects of such men. The historians are striving to gather the facts con cerning our early national life. The first incentive to this work is the condition of general historical science. History was, not long ago, merely chronicle. We want flesh and blood, and not the skele ton alone. Local historical research enables us to get at the spirit of things. It is not the crest of the wave that has the tidal force. We must come down closer to the in dividual, closer to the heart of the people. We have had years enough in America to awaken that passion and pathos of which so much has been written in other countries. I should like to get down a little nearer to the homes and influences of the men whose names adorn history's pages." The spirit of the times is ad vancing and historical romance will hereafter conform more to the peaceful events, and the results of individual efforts. It will record the arts, sciences and industries that so silently but effectively shape the destinies of men and nations, as well as develop their character and individualitv.
