LINCOLN LOOMING.

General John A. Logan is only
one of the Presidential candi-
dates in the state of Illinois. The
Chicago Tribune, of Saturday,
gives the secretary OF war boom,
as follows:
"The republican party has al
ways been a party OF sentiment,
and it represses the sentimental
part of the American people. Its
organic alton is composed of the
thinkers and reformers. the stu
dents and scholars, the educators
and the workers in all depart
ments OF human progress and the
material prosperity of the coun-
try. lis policy has always teen
one of rishting national wrongs
and abuses, of inaugurating new
schemes Of reform, of uphoIding
education, morals, progress, and
all that tends to intellectual ad-
vancement
There is no stronger sentiment
in this party than atfectionate
reverence for the name of its first
president, Abraham Lincoln. He
had its love and honor His name
has been treasured With more ton
derness, his honest, patriotic rec
ord is more commended, his face
is more familiar in the homes of
the people than that of any man
but Washington. The people
have a corresponding esteem for
his son. All Of them have known
of him, many of them have seen
him. They find that he resem>
bles his honored father in his
methods of life and in the purity
and honesty of his character
They see that he has made an ex
cellent secretary of war. What
more natural than that the peo
pie should talk the matter over
among themselves and ask the in
evitable question. Would he not
also make good president and
fill out with honor the remainder
of the second term, one month
only of which his father
enjoyed when he was shot
down by a murderous rebel?
Suppose that Washington, or Jef-
ferson, or Jackson had left a son
as closely resembling them as
Robert Lincoln resembles his
father, does any one imagine he
would not have been triumphant
ly elected by the people?
Suppose that in the nominat>
ing convention, when the dele-
gates ale in a deadlock over
three or four of the old politi-
clans, some eloquent, enthusiastic
member should propose that mag
ic name which every republican
loves and honors, and il would
take and kindle enthusiasm all
over the convention and the coun-
try, does any one suppose that
dried-up old Tildens, dull, heavy
McDonalds or frigid I'ayards could
stand before it? And this is the
way that Robert Lincoln viii ap-
pear it he appears at ALL

ment the flames were extinguish-

CHANCELLOR CARROLL.
Delivers an opinion in the Church,
ill Case.

Last Saturday, Chancellor Car
roll delivered IL, written opinion
in the Churchill case in regard to
the request of the plaintiffs for a
jury to try certain issues of facts
in the case. lie admits the con-
stitutional right OF the defendant
for a jury in cases of law, but as
serts the limitation by the state
constitution that the right does
not extend to cases OF equity
lie decides that the trial by jury
of issues of fact in chancery cases,
is left 10 the discretion of the
court. When the evidence is al |
in, and the case ready for hear
ing, the court may then deter
mine whether there is u necessity
for a jury. but it is premature to
decide whether a trial BY jury
may be directed or not, in any of
the issues OF fact presented in this
case, the evidence on the issues
raised not all being before the
court. The court considers the
motion at this stage of the pro
ceedings, in order to settle the
question of right to demand Il ju-
rv and not to determine whether +
trial by jury will be directed or
not, at the proper tlme.-Gazctte.
Yes, whenever you want a case
decided wrong, a jury is all lie
cry. A jury is about as much to
be relied on in this country as the
wind that bic ws. An oa'h in days
gone by was considered sacred,
but with the present generation
it rs a farce, a trap to deceive and
a loop hole for judges to shun res
possibility. We think the jury
system should be abolished and
elect no one but competent men
for judges and hold them respon-
sible for their acts.

CROOK COUNTY.
A Movement to Supply the Additional
Information Demanded.

From the Deadwood Times.
A meeting of citizens Of Crook County,
Wyo., was held at Sun Dance last Satur-
day, to take action for the organization of
the county, to which they are unquestion-
ably justly entitled. Originally the
statutes Of Wyoming required a popula-
ton of 500 tax payers and voters to entitle
them to a county organization. Subse-
q~uently the number was reduced to 300,
and later still this number was stricken
out but no number inserted instead. The
present Governor holds that 500 residents
must petition before he can order an ergan-
%ization, and they must submit afidavits
in support of their petition. As we can
readily understand, it is exceedingly
difficult to obtain such a large number of
afhdavits scattered as the populace is over
a very large and %unorganized county, and
the position taken by the executive seems
unreasonable and unjust. 1t is said that
he is controlled by the wishes Of cattle
men who. for obvious reasons, are opposed
to an organization. The recently pre-
pared assessment roll shows very nearly
400 tax payers in the county, representing
a total population of about l, 200. who are
practically without law and government.
At Saturday. meeting steps were taken
to secure the required number ofafidavits,
but the process must necessarily be slow
and tedious.
