Senator Logan has sent us copy of his
speech in favor of diluting the currency
The Chicago Tribune says he lis needed at
Depere, Wis. The manufacturers of that
place have taken to paying their workmen
in paper script, and the latter are so indig-
nant that there is danger of riot Our
Senator could tell them what good thing
paper money is, and, if they complained
that this private issue was irredeemable, he
could assure them that it was as good as
the national currency, which is as irredeem-
able, if not more so, than it was twelve
years ago,

WORK FOR THE aENEsEo REPUBLIC.
Its Favorte Representative Needs Another
Boost.

We fear that the Honorable w. w.
Warner, of Orion, has fallen from his
high horse, and basely deserted the cause
of the people. The Legislature not only
failed to indorse his Fleharty- Haverstick
pretended speech against the pay allowed
the Committee on Revision, but actually
roted one thousand dollarsmore to the COM
naittee The Legislature didn't seem to
approve that speech--''on the contrary
quite the reUarse" And where, @. fellow
citizens, do you think Warner was in that
fight? Did he make another speech and
resist the thousand dollar appropriation
No! He sat dumb in his seat, like
"some mute, inglorious Milton,
Some CROMWELL guiltless Of his country's blood
and permitted that thousand dollars extra
to be voted to the Committee he had de-
nounced in his Fleharty- Haverstick pre-
tended speech. Dumb like an oyster, he
answered neither YEA" or may" when
his name was called,-but continued to
draw his own pay for Sundays with great
regularity.
The Union having deserted Warner, we
call upon the Geneseo Republic to come to
his rescue The Republic, on several for
mer occasions, has defended Warner as nc
man ever was defended before,-or prob.
ably will ever wish to be again. Rally
Mr.. Republic. To your tents! OHobbs
and defend your Warmers and your other
household gods

Mr.. Hawley Presents the City Council Resolu.

Committee on Railways and Canals.
Also, the memorial Of citizens of Bureau
county, Illinois, in relation to the construc-
ton Of canal from Hennepin to Rock
Island to the Committee on Railways and
Canals.
Why Mr.. Hawley should have referred
the City Council petition to the Commit
tee on Railways and Canals perhaps he can
explain. We think the bridge bill and the
prison bill were both before the Committee
on Military Affairs, and if they were he
might as well have referred our petition tc
Committee on the Moon.

WHAT SENATOR LOGAN THINKS ABOUT
REMOVING THE MILITARY PRISON,
He Says It Can't be Done.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,

UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 1874.
W. P. BUTLER. Esq. Dear SIR Il am
fully aware of the advantage to be derived
from having the Military Prison establish
ed at Rock Island, and, as that is in my
own State, will, as matter of course, con
tend for its remaining there
But you need have no fears that it viii
be moved from that point. 1t would be
adverse, not only to the interests of Hi
nois, but also to Iowa for this to be done
and | am sat sfel that it will not be done
even if it should be attempted.
Yours, very respectfully,
JOHN A. LOGAN

then they had to adjourn, and, thank the

WHAT SHALL WE HAvEFOR DESSERT
Let me suggest to your readers few
ways of varying the dessert at dinner
changes from the inevitable pie. They
may not be new, yet never see them at
any table besides our own.
Make n dough us for biscuit, roll thin
and spread with currants, cherries, or any
kind of berries raspberries are especially
good Roll it up like jelly cake and steam
till done To be eaten with sweetened
cream.
Another is: To one pint of sour milk
add one teaspoonfnl of soda, flour to
make batter, and handful of dry cher
ries, or currants. Pour it into basin and
steam till done. To be eaten with sweet
enel cream.
Instead of sweetened cream for the
above pudding, Il sauce made of half Il
pint of wine, half cup of sugar, one Ia
blespoonful of butter boiled and thickened
with little flour might be used Cider
is Il very good substitute for the wine.
Or instead of the sauce, a syrup of sugar
and water boiled is good with either of
the buildings.
The following | know to be new to
your readers, for it is my own invention
Towards spring, when the apple butter
becomes drug in the market, it can be
used in this wise: To one pint of apple
butter add a pint of sweet milk, cup of
sugar, (more or less according to the
sweetness of the apple butter,) and two
tablespoonful of flour. Bake in tins
lined with pastry, and with strips of pastry
across the top. Please try it.-Cor. Ohio
Farmer.
