TUESDAY MARCH 10,18“5
Tijb Illinois legislature does not
progress rnpidly *Uth the senatorial
election. If the democrats were solid
they could elect their man to the ex
clusion of Jno, A. Logan, but ut
things go Logan stands a good
chance tor election.
M jMkt is slowly oozmg out of th°
New York bangs. A short time ago
they held over fifty millions ot dollars
in excess of legal requirements. Tne
last statement reports only $47,300,-
OCI We respectfully invite it to take
a trip down this way.
Geskrai. Gbamt is reported some
better, and yet it is feared that he
will not.last long enough to complete
the last volume of bis history of the
war. Mark Twain is running him
and squeezes the last available hour
of hie vitality into that volume. Mark
is said to be a "skinner” in hie pub
lishing enterprises.
Pbehidext Clevei.and has given
notice that he will have no time to
devote to office seeking callers. That
applicants for office must go to the
head of the department to which the
office sought belongs. It would seem
that this has not been the rule here
tofore, but we see no objection to it,
and it will certainly relieve the prest
dent of an Infinite amount of boring.
The Atlanta Oonstitution is brag
ging on Georgia marble, the quality
and extent of quairies, and yet
strange to say that the syndicate
which controls them permitted their
greed to lose them the contract for
furnishing material for the new Cap
itol. Can it. be that Georgia marble
quarries are controlled by citizens of
other states who price it too high to
effect sales and contracts that they
may sell material from their home
quarries?
KNSLANII *M> SUMO I.
In discussing the attitude of Kusaie
at the present time on the Indian
question the Atlanta Oonstitution
says;
The endless eastern question has
been reopened over a boon- a y lit e
ot Afghanistan. The delimitation
question was to bo settled by a com
mission, but the commissioners have
never met, Hlr H-nry Lumsden, the
British commissioner, is in Afghan
istan, awaiting his Russian associate,
but the latter for some time fails to
appear. In the meanwhile Russia
has seiz d some of the disputed pass
es and towns, and England is pre
paring to support her ally, the ameer
of Afghanistan, us she is bound to do
by treaty. But something stronger
than treaty obligations impels her to
light to the utmost against the Inva
sion of Afghanistan. Her prestige in
the east and perhaps her power in
losla bang upon the issue.
But the wav point has not been
reached. Herat remains in the hands
of the Afghans, and while it does,
the diplomatists will be busy, There
is really little probability of war
Russia may think this Isa good op
portunity to extend her power in the
east, and she certainly does desire to
overcome nihilism, but still she is in
a bad way financially, hnd Herat is a
longdistance from bases ot supply.
Bhe may gain some point in diplo
macy before the trouble is well over,
but in the and the subject will doubt.
Jess be referred to the boundary corn
mission, and Russia’s scheme ofag
grandlz ment will be further post
poned. No doubt the question of
empire in the distant east will eome
ciay bring war, but it is not. likely to
do so at present.
But if England’s worthiness ot em
pire must be again established by
war, let no one think that there will
be a one-sided contest. Herat is a
strongly fortified town, and the
Afghans are able to hold it until an
army can be dispatched from the
Punjaub. There are in India
alone 190,000 soldiers, of which
number 65,000 are Europeans. An
expeditionary force of 20,000 men can
be fitted out, and such a force would
be able to meet any force that Russia
can speedily push forward to the
borders of Afghanistan. England
rules the sea, and the whole trouble
would have to be fought, out in tbe
land of the Afghans. General Rob
erts, who made the great march to
Uandahar, understands that country
thoroughly, and it Is reported that
he will be placed in command ot the
expeditionary force, if one is needed.
The peoi le as well as the govern
ment of England are thoroughly
aroused to the necessary of sustain
ing Abdurrahman, and the war if
once begun will be neither short nor
Inexpensive. Russia does not hung
er for a long and costly struggle. She
is really bankrupt, while England’s
credit is unsurpassed. The diplo
matists will therefore find some way
to avoid war, because England does
not want it. and Russia is hot prepar
ed to enter upon a serious and pro
tracted struggle. Even nihilism is
better thin uster bankruptcy.
WILL THESE BE WAR.
The Final Decision in the Hands of
Russia.
The London Observer of March Bth
says: Weunderstand that the govern
ment, on Friday, sent an emphatic
demand to St. Petersburg for the
withdrawal of tbe Russian troops on
Afghan territory. The dispatch par
took of the character of an ultima
tum.
Orders have been sent to Sir Peter
Lumsden, British special commis
sioner on tbe Afghan frontier ques
tion. to direct the Afghans to evacu
ate Penjeh on the withdrawal ot the
Russian forces from Azatrano. Faroe
DeStaal, Russian ambassador, has
promised that the Russian troops
shaii retire.
The Daily News states that there
is a constant exchange of dispatches
between the English and Russian
governments. "Although there is a
possible hone of peaceful solution,”
says the News, "the condition of
affairs is still critical. Tbe British
government demands that the Rus
sians retire from the Afghan fron
tiers. Whether put in the form of
an ultimatum or not, are final. Tbe
choice of peace or war lies in the!
hands of the Russian statesmen.
IN A LOGGING CAMP.
A THRILLING INCIDENT WHILE DRIV
ING THE "BOBS.”
On a Mn.l Callop Down an Incline—-Shot
Off Into the Air—How the Log
gore Work and Clto
Awful Daye.
. (Chicago Tribune.]
“For a young man I have done some
pretty tough scrapping in the Rockies and
mining regions of New Mexico and Ari
zona, but a few days ago I had the worst
scare of my life in the lumber districts of
northern Michigan. ” The speaker was a
young man of some 27 years, dressed in
rough and ready stylo and wearing a friz
zly low beard He shifted the position of
of his broad shoulders as lie lounged back
in an easy chair in the Hiermnri house
office, puffed bis cigar vigorously, and
then continued:
“It was one of those bitter eold days
we've just been having, and I hnd got up
at 3 o'clock to rouse the men and get the
sprinkler out The air seemed full of blue
steel and cut to my marrow like a
razor. One of the teamsters got scared
out and played off sick, so I had to take
his place. When we had got a good, big
loan I took the reins and sat down on the
butts of the logs, leaving the two loggers
on behind. Or course about twenty feet
of the load hung off the last bob. The
road was a sheet of ice, for the sprinkler
run over it every morning, and the
horses were sharp-shod, so we slid along
smoothly till we got to tbe slide —a pretty
steep incline ending in a turn which was
mighty sharp for a road sixty feet wide.
As soon as we started down my hair be
gan to stand on end, for the horses gal
lopped like fury to keep ahead of the
bolis which were slewing all over the
road
“ 1 got so paralyzed and nervous that
when wo approached the turn I reined in
too suddenly. 1 felt the front bobs jump
one way and the back bobs the other.
The hmd ends of the logs whistled
through the air like willow switches, and
I heard the loggers yell: ‘For Gods
sake, The next thing was a
loud snap! snap! snap!—like three tre
meudous paper crackers—us the big log
chains broke, like so many cotton threads,
bid you ever use a switch-sling? Whirl
it round and round your head, you know,
till a sudden twist sends the apple off the
end and spinning Into the air? Well, that
is the way I felt and that is hist what I
thought of ns 1 was shot off into the air,
over, and over, and over, till 1 struck in a
snowdrift some 100 or more feet
from the road. When I had struggled
back through the snow I found the horses
trying to kick loose from the few bits of
harness that dangled about them, the
bobs tangled about the trunk of a small
pine tre . and tbe logs scattered to the
four winds. One logger crawled back to
the road with a fractured leg, and the
other soon followed with a dislocated
shoulder. Ono had struck a tree, and the
second had landed against a stump. They
afterwards told me in camp that those
thing! wore not at all unusual and as 1
had some pretty heavy bruises myself, I
concluded that I was not made to boss a
lumber camp, bo 1 was driven to town
next day to telegraph the management
that the head teamster was filling my
place, and that 1 was on my way to Chi
cago; and you bet your life 1 am glad I
did it.
“If you have never passed a winter in
the Michigan lumlier districts you don't
know what trouble Is. In the first place
a man lias to work from 8 in the morning
till 8 and sometimes 11 at night My
daily life while I was fool enough to stay
there was something like this: I kept
store for twenty teamsters and bossed
them at their work 1 slept and ate in
the only approximately clean place in the
whole ranch—a little box built out into
the big room and all lined with strong to
bacco, curry combs, socks, pins, buttons,
buckwheat, kerosene, and bad molasses.
The box had no cover, so as
1 lay on the only quilt between
me and the lloor I could see the stars
through the frosty cracks in the
roof. The onions, beans, cabbages, and a
small keg of sauerkraut were stored just
outside my door in the big room, which
was heated red hot by an immense open
fireplace. At night the men would take
off their soaking wet rubber boots and
stand them up by the fire.
“Those were awful old days for mo. I
had almost sleepless nights, and then had
to get up before daybreak, with the ther
mometer 20 or 30 degrees below zero, ami
go about my work with a splitting head
ache. contracted in the foul air in which I
had to puss the night lam glad I am
out of it. It is an unhealthy, dirty, dan
gerous business, and unless a man is in
with the management there Is no money
in IL "
Supreme Court Practice.
[Washington Oor. Pioneer Tress.]
“Don't you believe all you hear, ” said
my old lawyer friend, “about supreme
court incomes. Discount them always.
Matt Carpenter and Judge Black did as
well as any lawyers ever did here, and
neither left a fortune, nor did they get
the income of one in fees. I toll you
SO,OOO is a good deal of money and $lO,-
000 is a great deal. I don't believe Ed
munds earns a eent over $5,000 in a
year’s practice, lie had five cases last
year, and they did not represent much
property at stake. He has a house hero
worth $15,000, perhaps, and has just
bought a lot for $13,000 on which he will
build a better house than he has Ed
munds may be worth altogether $200,0(10,
and is a liberal estimate. I should
say. ”
Why l>«» Tramps Travel ?
[Texas Siftings.]
A tramp stopped at a house in the
suburbs of Houston, and said to the lady
of the house:
“Please give a poor man who is travel
ing. and who is far away from home, a
trifle to help pay his expenses. ”
“If you haven’t got money enough to
pay your expenses, why do you travel?”
she asked in astonishment
norsos tn Mntue.

Wv' -rses, when hit in battle, tremble
In every it. :«cle and groan deeply, while
their eyes show deep astonishment. Dur
ing the battle of Waterloo some of the
horses, as they lay upon the ground, hav
ing recovered from the first agony of their
wounds, fell to eating the grass about
them, thus surrounding themselves with
a circle of bare ground, the limited ex
tent of which showed their weakness.
Others were observed quietly grazing on
the field between the two hostile lines, their
riders having been shot off their backs,
and the balls flying over their heads and
the tumult behind, before and around
them caused no interruption to the usual
instinct of their nature. It was also ob
served that when a charge of cavalry
went past near to any of the stray horses
already mentioned they would set off.
form themselves in the rear of their
mounted companions, and, though with
out riders, gallop strenuously along with
the rest, not stopping or iiinching when
the fatal shock with the enemy took
place.
At the battle of Kirk, in 1745. Maj.
Macdonald, having unhorsed an English
officer, took possession of his horse, which
was very beautiful, and immediately
mounted it. When the English cavalry
fled the horse ran away with its captor,
notwithstanding all his efforts to restrain
him; nor did it stop until it was at the
head of the regiment of which apparently
its master was commander. The melan
choly. and at the same time ludicrous,
figure which Macdonald presented when
he saw himself the victim of his ambition
to poss. ss a fine horse, which ultimately
. cost him his life upon the scaffold, may
be easily conceived.
