Ohio's 'Next- Senator
Qeneral Foraker.
Something About
Calvin S Brice A
The result of the last election In Ohio
determined the succession In the United
States senate on the expiration of the
term of Calvin 8. Brice; determined it
so surely in the minds of all Ohioans
that' the work of the legislature next
January will be merely a matter of
form. Before the election It was known
throughout Ohio and understood
throughout the nation that the election
of a. Republican legislature meant the
election of Joseph Benson Foraker to
the United States senate from Ohio.
That Is the second thins; before the
Seople of Ohio next January, the first
elng the installation of Asa S. Bush
nell In the governor's chair.
Like Lincoln and Grant. Joseph Ben
Ron Foraker is from the farm. He was
born; according' to a Cincinnati letter
to the Chicago Times-Herald, among
the picturesque hills and valleys of the
.interior of the state In a log cabin near
Ralnsboro, in Highland county, Ohio,
July 6, 1846. He was a hard working
boy, plowing with a span of horses be
fore he was 10 years old. His youth
was spent In the humble home of his
parents, where he laid the foundation
for his future life. The beginning of
his education was In a small district
school conducted In a log cabin, to at
tend which he walked, morning and
evening, several miles.
In spirit and enthusiasm he was al
ways In advance of his years, and he
was but IS years old when on July 14,
1862, he enlisted as a private in Com
pany A of the Rlghty-nlnth regiment,
Ohio volunteer infantry. He was the
first man mustered in and the lust man
mustered out. His only act of positive
disobedience of his parents and disre
gard of their wishes was when he made
a bundle of his scanty wardrobe and
left home to go to the front in defenRe
of his country. He served In this regi
ment until the fall of Atlanta, at which
time by successive promotions he had
risen to the rank of first lieutenant
After the fall of Atlanta he was de
tailed for service in the signal corps
and was assigned to duty as a signal
officer on the staff of Major Genera!
Rloeum. who was then commanding the
left wing of the Army of Ueorgla.. After
the march through Georgia he was pro
moted to brevet captain "for efficient
service during the campaigns In North
Carolina and Georgia," and was made
an aide-de-camp on the staff of General
Slocum. This position he filled until
mustered out of service at the close of
the war, June 13, 1865.
. General Sherman's Tribute.
One of the most brilliant services was
In the battle of Missionary Ridge, on
which day he commanded two com
panies, led them, with his accustomed
dash and enthusiasm, beyond the line
at which the advance had been ordered
to stop, and was among the first to
scale the ridge and enter the enemies'
works. The finest tribute ever paid
him for his brilliant military service
was mat or ueneral Sherman in a
speech at the annual meeting of the
Army of, the Tennessee in Cincinnati,
Sept. 24, 1889. In the midst of his speech
General Sherman turned toward Gen
eral Foraker, and In the presence of
nearly 10,000 people, said:
"To you. Governor Foraker, we turn
with feelings of love and affection,
stronger than any official title you
may hold, great as the state of Ohio
may be in your estimation and in the
estimation of the world, for you are
one of us, body and soul. Well I re

lost while in the army he studied law
while attending Cornell and so well had
he been his own tutor, that on Oct. 14,
1869, he was admitted to the Hamilton

trying ones and he worked hard; but his
advance was steady and permanent He
had ability and an indomitable spirit,
backed by a vitality that thrived on
hard work. Hecouldnotbutbe conspicu
ous among the young men at the bar,
and In 1876 was nominated on the Re
publican ticket for common pleas Judge,
but was overwhelmed In the Tllden
landslide that covered Cincinnati that
year. He maintains that his. entrance
Into public life was brought about by
seeming accidents and mere circum
stances, and not by a personal desire
or ambition to get Into It
"My profession," said he,'"brought me
into a line of study and Into contact
with men of position, and the Instincts
of a patriotic citizen led me to avail
myself of s.ll available knowledge con
cerning government Hence I have al
ways been Interested in such matters as
appertain to state and nation."
In April, 1879. he was elected judge of
the Superior court of Cincinnati and
presided - with signal distinction. 8o
thorough was he In his researches be
fore announcing a decision that none he
has given has been reversed. But after
three years he was obliged to take a
year's rest and he resigned, the accept
ance being insisted upon by him in the
face of most urgent protests from the
leading members of the bar. Then he
returned to the practice of law, but in
1883 was forced on the Republican State
ticket as nominee for governor. The
crusade of the liquor Interest against
restrictive legislation defeated the Re
publican ticket that year, but two years
later Foraker was renominated and
elected and served four years. In 1889
he was nominated the fourth time for
governor, but was defeated by James E.
Campbell. ' Since then he has devoted
himself continuously to the practice of
his profession, the only Interruptions
being his participation in the several
state campaigns and his canvass for
United States senator against Sherman
three years ago. In 1884 and again in
1888 he was chairman of the Ohio dele
gation to the Republican national con
vention, and both times presented the
name of John Sherman. .

DREAMING.

Ah! once, when the magic of night
Had its spell upon me thrown.
With a dreamer's strange delight.
1 sweetly came unto my own.
Loved friend, I Joy to meet thee.
Where We parted so long ago;
Can the angels above, devotion
More sweet than our child-love know?
Keep close to my side, dear friend;
See, yonder the home-lights shine!
Strange shadows flit ana I tremble
Lest your hand be loosed from mine.
Ah, me! now I know I was dreaming.
With my dead I have wandered afar;
Farewell, dear, vanishing presence.

Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
London. Nov. 20. Well, here we are
again, as they say In the Christmas
pantomime, every year. "Me and my
trunks." to use the expression of a
quaint Yankee neighbor of mine on the
ship coming over, have got here at last.
after a pretty rough, highly Interesting
voyage, to Degtn at the beginning, we
sailed from New York on that splendid
ocean greyhound, the Lucanla, on the
9th of November and arrived at Liver
pool on the 16th, a long voyage for that
boat, which Is supposed to be he fast
est ship afloat and has made one or
two very fine record-breaking voyages,
although In fine weather, however; so I
do not suppose that 1 should complain.
We had one or two fine days at first
but as soon as we reached the high seas.
we rolled and tossed about so terribly
that the passengers collapsed, almost to
a man. and we all fell sick and did not
see much of each other until nearly the
end of the voyage, when up from our
staterooms we came, limp, white, blase
and tired of ltfe.and lay about the decks
In our steamer chairs conversing In
monosyllables as we lastly began to
make each other's acquaintance. We
soon roused, however, and got on with
our neighbors quite amiably, some, In
deed, becoming very much Interested in
each other, and exceedingly amusing It
was, too, to watch the little Incipient
flirtations, started during the first two
days of the voyage, but alas! and alack!
so cruelly Interrupted by the all-prevailing
mal de mer, and then resumed
again, and see them blossom Into the
short-lived little engagements that are
never heard of again, after the poor dear
contracting parties leave the boat
Steamboat Flirtations.
But- really, these steamboat flirta
tions are perfectly furious. It seems as
though there were something In the salt
air that conduces to their very rapid
growth of affection for some interest
ing fellow passenger, and always of the
other gender, oddly enough. The com
plaint Is very widespread, and attacks
all. No one is safe. They all suc
cumbed except me. I think It Is far
more Interesting to sit still In my deck
chair, muffled up In rugs, seeming to
see nothing, but seeing It all! It la
great fun, I assure you, and I always
pity them deeply; they are so silly.
I remember remarking as much to a
young man my neighbor at table, who
was not exempt himself from the gen
eral complaint, and who, being an old
traveler, was an authority on the sub
ject, and received the amusing confi
dence that he had, too, become engaged
quicker on the Lucanla than on any
other boat, for it went so fast that
there was hardly any time left In which
to become acquainted with his, for the
nonce, fiancee, before the disobliging
boat was in port again.
Odd Passengers Aboard.
Of course, there were very many dif
ferent kinds of odd and Interesting peo
ple on board. One of them, a dry-humored
Yankee, sat at our table, and
compared England with America and
everything in each country with every
thing in the other all the way across
the ocean, at every meal, and in such
a large and orotund style of delivery that
the whole dining saloon got the bene
fit of his views, whether we wanted to
or not. We were going to throw him
overboard, and be rid of him, but he
was so useful In carrying rugs and
chairs and beef tea about the deck for
ua that that fact saved him from the
watery grave he deserved. Of course,
we had a concert. We had hosts of
talent of all description. There was an
obliging banjoist, and we had the
as they should be and sold same way.

The Lucanla being a Cunarder, lands
her passengers at Queenstown and at
Liverpool, and I sailed on it In order to
get acquainted with the Liverpool route
as I am familiar with the Southampton
route already,- and wanted to learn a
bit about the other Way. I am sadder,
and what I wished tor, wiser too, and
shall not. go that way again, unless I
cannot hela it. as I consider it very
Inconvenient, indeed, when one's des
tination Is London, to come round by
Liverpool Instead of taking the much
shorter and infinitely more convenient
Journey from Southampton to London.
I saw Ireland, of course, this time, and
It is indeed a green isle, down to the
very water, and as beautiful a bit to
see, from the ship, as I have ever seen.
Queenstown, too, was quite Interest
ing, though but seen from the side of
the ship, and explored by means of
a field glass only. . As for the Irish
Channel I have no words In which to
describe it; it was so rough. Nearly
everybody got sick again, but I Just
wouldn t be, so l went uown in ine
dining saloon, where the servants were
setting the tea tables, and had my
steward tie me In a corner chair, and
I put my head against the side of the
ship and managed to keep well by writ
ing a letter home, though the pitches
and rolling was dreadful, especially In
Its effects upon the dishes. I was often
compelled to stop -writing and Indulge
in a hearty laugh at the dance, which
those dishes would lead the poor stew
ards, who tried to keep them from slid
ing oft the tables. -The railings and
dividing boxes were all on the tables,
but that made not a particle of dif
ference; dishes would first toboggan up
on one end of the' table In one big
confused, breaking pile, and then while
tne poor steward was there trying to
save them the Irish Channel would
suddenly undergo another change of
heart, and down they would skate to
the other end, Jump the railing, silver,
china, teapots, milk and everything.
Bock In Dear Old London
London Is just as smoky, and foggy,
and grimy, just as dazzling and bewil

I felt quite at home as soon as I reached
here. My two guardian angels were ex
pecting me, and were out at the curb,
somehow, even before I had got out of
the carriage. They, were glad to see
me again and so' were all the girls,
who every once in awhile laugh
something I say, and then tell me
that I have brought back with me
"such a very broad American accent!"
I brought with me also, besides the ac
cent, a most beautiful pair of black silk
knitted mittens, and they go into fits
of laughter every time I wear them,
calling them "baby gloves." as they say
no one but infants wear mittens. They
have fingers to all the woolen hand
coverings, and never saw a mitten. But
I get even by asking them if they know
what it Is to "get the mitten," and upon
their negative, I explain by telling them
that America gave King George the
mitten In 1776.
I am right at home already, and have
been here only three days. My room is
In as cosy and pretty order as I could
wish, If I do say it as shouldn't. The

Churchill comes there to skate every
morning, and was pointed out to me
yesterday. If she Is that great beauty
tney are always talking about, I failed
to see It. She Is big and coarse-looking
and puffy now, whatever she was when
younger. Of course, I suppose she sticks
to the old photographs of herself, and
then too, the cold light of day is no cos

as I dislike to look in the glass, I be

longer than the beauty.
Last night one of the ladles took ua
to see dear, lonely George Alexander,
in "Liberty Hall," one of the sweetest
plays I ever saw. In Alexander is an
actor who always takes a star part,
and acts the good, noble, handsome,
manly young man. Sole lessee and
manager of the St. James' theater, he
has his choice of plays, of course, and
always takes good ones, not nasty ones,
or suggestive ones, but plays to which
the father of a family could take Bald
family, one and all, and be sure that
they would see most artistic and beau
tiful acting, hear a wholesome and
charming play, magnificently set and
staged, and, best of all, as wholesome
and pure and sweet as plays can be
made. Alexander's favorite plays are
those of the "April Weather," "Shore
Acres" andd "Poor Relation" stamp,
and, Indeed, his position over here In
the profession la somewhat analagous
to that of our own Sol Smith Russell,
or dead, simple-mannered Denman
Thompson over there In our great and
glorious country.
George Alexander, Raformor.
He It was who, last season, accepted
and produced Henry James' piny, "Guy
Domvllle," which had to be withdrawn
after a run of only two months on ac
count of the coldness of its reception by
the critics and general public. The
critics, indeed, drove It from the boards
by their harsh criticism. But when I
saw it, I thought it was singularly
sweet and pure, and Interesting as well,
though a bit slow In parts, it Is true,
and If It had only had tome pruning,
would have been a- success, I should
think. "Liberty Hall"' was a revival,
and a perfectly lovely thing, too. I
could see it again tonight. I doubt If
It has ever been produced In New York,
as It is in his hands entirely and is not
at all an old play, having had a life
of only a couple of years, I think. How
I did enjoy it! Such a good plot, such
sparkling and refined comedy and such
wholesome situations of thrilling In
terest things which seldom go hand In
hand with each other are rarely seen
all In one play.
"Trilby" Is running at full blast at
the Haymarket, and seats cannot be
got for love or money. Everything is
booked . up months ahead, and If one
wishes to get Into the unreserved pit
or gallery, one must take one's money
and go there and stand at the doors
three or four hours ahead of opening
time, in order to get a chance at all. The
effort Is too great an one for me to
make Just yet, so "Trilby" must wait
for me, or rather, I must wait for
"Trilby." Sadie E, KalBer.
