THE DAILY TIMES. Tl*>S la ibaCa«mlle< A<H»e»«*‘» Tr»«l»ir nt f'olwmbw*. Columbus* WeorKiftf 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. [Exchange.] 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.
