Liuegar, a prominent member of the Illinois Legislature, died at his home in Cairo OD the 2d. He was born in Ohio in 1830. In 1858 he came to Illinois, settling In Wayne oouuty, whence he removed to Cairo, where he resided until his deith. He was a lawyer, and prior to 1873 was a Republican. In 1872 he was a Republi­ can elector for the state at large. He disliked Grant's administration, and in 1882 he was elected to the State Legis< lature as a Democrat. .#9*The bill for the admission of Dakota is before the Senate and has deceived fair consideration by the House committee. Nothing can pre­ vent a favorable report but a Demo­ cratic caucus. What an idea that is-- that a measure right and just in itself becomes wrong the momenta caucus pronounces against it. And yet that Is the situation of that measure In the House according to Springer, a mem­ ber of the committee. In the Senate the bill is under discussion and will probably pass at an early day. Harri­ son has led the debate in a very able manner, and Vest and Butler have been utterly unable to meet bis facts and arguments. 'In the time of slavery it w&8 the policy of the pro-slavery Congresses in admitting new States to admit a slave State and a free State together.. By this means the equilibrium of United States Senators representing freedom and those representing slavery was long maintained. But at length free territories became entitled to admis •loo as States more rapidly than slave Territories, and the rupture between the two systems came. Thb Democrats In Congress now want to apply a simi­ lar policy to the admission of new 8tates, and hitoh a Democratic- Terri­ tory like Montana onto Dakota before the latter is admitted. The scheme ought not to work.--Journal. "i- •; "m,: - J®*Senator Logan is not oily mak j|jtag his influence felt In national legls- 1 lation, bet is taking care of the inter­ ests of the great party of which be is one of Its most noted champions. Twice during the past week did be attract the attention of the country by his outspoken views of matters of national policy. On Tuesday he fairly brought down the •'ouse," when in re­ gard to the bill proposing to allow the U. S. Consul, at Warsaw, Russia, to accept certain decorations tendered htm by the Russian government, he de­ clared that the only decoration an American citizen should wear is his daily walk and demeanor before his fellow men. This created quite a sen­ sation. Again on Wednesday in his speech on the Dakota bill he showed that the opposition of the Democrats was a part of the great scheme to keep otit Republican Stfltes, and in some points quite analogous to the course of : that party before the war In opposing the admission of free states. In his little spat with Senator Butler, of S. C. who charged that Logan was a leading Democrat in those days, the Illinoisan got the best ef It by retorting that he flas not a leader but a follower wbo followed so far behind that he got left This created quite a laugh at Butler's ; j^cpeuse. __ •©"In the House of Representatives I; Washington, on Thursday, January - &8, the following appropriate resolu tlons concerning the death of Reuben Bllwood, late Congressman from this district, were considered: Setolved, That this House has heard with f ofoumi sorrow ot the death of Hon.

Henderson, Hltt, Dunham and Adams, of Illinois; Till- * ®aa», of South Carolina; Petq/8, of f Kansas, and McMillan of Tennessee. _>(A• a mark of.rtspect to the memory of ^vllie deceased, the House adjourned at f .. t:30 p. m. ^ In the Senate, a message having been ' ; received frojj the House announcing " V Mr. Ellwood's death. Senator Cullom moved concurrence lp the House reso- f Sution of sorrow. He gave a brief fketch of the dead man's life and public - aervices, paying him tender tribute. |Ie introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: The Ohio 8ltaatIon. It Is difficult to speak with patfence of the conduct of the Democratic revo­ lutionists in Ohio who disorganize the State Government in order to retain in their seats four persons placed there by a palpable forgery. The Democratic members, It seemi, have not only ab­ sented themcelves from the sessions of the Senate, but are seeking separate quarters and threaten to set up a sec­ ond or bogus Senate without the pres­ ence of the Lieutenant Governor, whom they assume to have deposed. From the beginning, the conduct of the Democrats has been marked by a reck­ less disregard of public opinion, of parliamentary rules, or constitutional obligations. The LleutenantGoveriior, under the constitution of the State, lias the powers of presiding officer of the# Senate. Those power* the Democratic members, who with the four fraudu­ lently seated persons from Cincinnati claim to be a majority, undertook to take from Uim by the adoption of rules which gave to the clerk of their own selection the power,, to declare the result of all votes. This rule the Lieu­ tenant-Governor properly declared a violation of the constitution, and re­ fused to respect. He called ^ipon the clerk to perform his duties as such, and the clerk instead insisted upon per­ forming the duties which constitution­ ally belong to the presiding officer. The Lieuteriant-Goyerno^lfecided that the four bogus members from Cincin­ nati had no right to vote on questions affecting their seats. The clerk insisted upon calling their names and declaring the result of the vote with their votes included. The Lieutenant-Governor refused to recognize such votes, and declared the result as it really was, the votes ot the persons in contested seats being excluded. Thereupon the Dem­ ocrats seceded from the Senate assum­ ed to depose *the LkFfitfSSRt-Governor, appointed a Senator to preside in his stead, and now seek some hall in th« city in which to set up a pretended Senate. These revolutionary proceedings will presently end. The latest reports Indicate that the Democratic Senators are coming to their senses. Conference committees of both parties met day and the prospects are, it is said, that a compromise will bd reached. That any compromise is necessary is far from creditable. The action of the Democrats throughout, has been dis­ graceful. The good sense and the law- abiding spirit of the people of Ohio would not long tolerate such defiance of the constitution and of the princi­ ples which govern every legislative body. Nor will this display of the spirit of the Democratic members help that party with the people in future elections. It ought to warn the people ot other states as wellr that the party which resorts to revolution in Ohio, in order to retain for itself power secured by fraud, and forgery, Is to-day at the North just as it was In 1861 at the South, prepared to ruin where it can­ not ru.e; to overturn government by force or revolution rather thanHobe defeated in any fraud or cr^me which it may perpetrate.

BANSOM Co., DAKOTA, Feb. 1,1888. EDITOB PLAINDEALER:--Since Jan 17th mercury has ranged all the way from ten above to forty-two below zero. It has snowed a little at differ­ ent times, enough so that it is better sleighing than wheeling, There has been uo blizzard worth mentioning, but February has come in clear and cold; mercury twenty degrees below zero this morning, with wind flowing from the north. Have heard of no one freezing to death up here, but I have noticed by a number of the papers of a number of people freezing to death in Iowa and Kansas; also that the oranges are all frozen down In Florida, Strange to relate, but the oranges have not frozen in Dakota. Ouly a few days ago I noticed a fly--a real fly, too--sailing around as lively and brisk as a fly could be. No doubt but what that fly was out prospecting. Farmers are getting ready for spring work. Those that lost their grain by the hail storms, and had no insurance, have to get there in good time. Saskatchawan wheat is worth 91 per bushel; oats 25 cents per bushel. Those who did not lose their grain are in luck. They are preparing to build new houses as soon as spring opens. Nearly every other man built a new grfcnary last year; ttiey were really forced to it as there was so much grain there waiRio place to store it, and they had to buil(Twhether they wanted to or not. It all helps to build up the country, and it does not look like very hard times in Dakota. Nearly every man wai able to pay his debts last fall; and yet I know of men whose pocket books were so flat last spring that one would have thought old .Jumbo had stepped on it, and, squeezed out every dime. And those same men paid debts of one thousand dollars and over. Flax does very well here; It pays farmers to sow part flax instead of depending en­ tirely on wheat. A number of the farmers tried it last year and foumt'it to be a very successful crop. It aver­ aged sixteen bushels to the acre. The best fields of flax went as high as twenty-three bushels per acre, and to­ day it is worth eighty-four cents per buthel in the Lisbon market. Horses are very high, and it is almost impos­ sible to get a^.good team. A good heavy work team is worth $400 spot cash. If anyone wants to make some money let them ship a carload of good work horses up to this p*rt of the country ; they could be sold very readi­ ly. They do not want any scrubs, as there are a plenty of that>fkiud here now. It Is a good time to( buy land, cheap, too. Some are homesick add would be glad to sell at most any price. They think if they could only get back to the laud of corn and wine that would be all they would ask for in this world. But the good practical farmer lutetids to stick by Dakota.

It runs lighter than any other plow made, because by means of the perfect support afforded by three wheels the plow is Serried, not dragged. It Is easy on the team,"! absolutely no weight on till necks. It turns square corners, tuning fur­ rows either inward or outward, as may be desired. The rear furrow -wheel Is locked when plowing straight ahead, but unlocked by foot- trip when necessary to turn. After the corner U turned it locks itself automatically. The caster wheels running in furrow effectually prevent any strain on the frame of the plow, or on the horses when turning. The plow U turned on the same principle as a cart. The front furrow wheel Is aft point Of plow, insuring a uniform depth when crossing dead furrows or ditches. The land axle has a spring that keeps the plow from being too rigid, and causes it to cut level when crossing corn furrows or ridges. The team is hitched the same as to a walking plow, and the horses draw easily and natu­ rally. The plow Is In front of the driver, where its work is constantly under his eye.
