Senator Vest, ol Missouri, made y
speech last Wednesday in opposition to
the bill for the admission of the south
half Of Dakota. The associated press
account Of his remarks says.
Mr. Vest addressed the senate in op.
position to The admisslOu OF Dakota. HI
contended that tile population wxs no.
enough to eutirle 1t to y representative
in congress and it would to certain ex-
tent be u dlsiranchisement Of the stat+A
already in tue nuion to give the present
population Of Dakota two representa-.
lVes in the United States senate. as we'll
as representative III tue lower house ol
congress. The demands salt tn
have been made elnce 1870
for the admission Of the tel.
ritory, had 'beeu the demands ot am
bltious politicians. Men v ho we're read,
to cut each others throats. politically
aud physically had been urging thest
demsnds. Gen. Grapt had been
credited, Mr.. Vest said, with the state
mept. while president, that Dakota gave
him more trouble than all tue other ter.
ritories put together. That trouble wse
that there were two streets in Yauktou,
and when one street did any thug or 70,
any thing done. the other street rebelied.
and 1t would require almost all th.
civil and military power Of the. United
Statse to Keep peace b. tween the factiOus.

secretary read q number OF petitlJps op

SAID the project to divide the territor,
was unnecessary. There were no ns.
tursl barriers, mountain or river, of .iu
terest or sentiment, to divide the terri
tory or people. Tue engineering of til.
admission scheme, Mr.. Vest ascribed t.
Gov Ordway, upon whose industr,
aud solicitude it reelected great credit
The trouble was that there we're tou
many statesmen in Dakota who yer.
gwen to calling conventions. but va.
the United States senate body to RECORD

1t is evident enough that Senator v. 8,
is not qualified to speak on this i'm.
poftant subject. He is either totall,
ignolant regarding the facts IN tue ca..

recently demonstrated that it
untitled by population to two repr.
.entatises in the lower house of COL
gress, even though MIR. Vest asserts tina
It's Lot entitled to one. That the sena
'or knows little about his subject is evi
lent from his belief that Ordway is still
governor and that Ordway favored ad

worst enemy. Dakota stands poo

was Gin consequence of the stagnation of the business of the country"
 The estate of MT Cofing was and still is pending for settlement in the court of probate and the administrators have an amount in their custody belonging to said estate, largely in excess of the plaintiffs claim, which was and is the only indebtedness of the estate.
 In May, 1883, Mir Robbins commenc- ed an action to enforce the payment of the above mentioned claim, together with @ note which last mentioned claim amounted to about 5000, making the whole amount in controversey about $80,000. The administrators confessed judgment upon the note and interpos- ed four defences to the claim arising upon the contract:-
 That George Cofing paid the same during his life.
 2.-That the claim had been disal- lowed by one of the administrators in 1875, and that MT Robbins had failed to bring suit within four months after such notice of disallowance as required by the statute.
 8 and 4.-That the cause of action did not occur within six years of the com mencement of the action.
 The question of payment and disal- lowance were tried before the superior court at Litchfeld at its December term, 1883, and the jury found both issues in favor of MT Robbins.
 The question arising under the stat ute of limitations was tried by ex-Gov 0. B. Andrews, as judge of the supe- rior court and decided by him in favor of the Coffing estate, from which MT Robbins appealed to the supreme court where the case was tried May last.
 So the question at issue upon the 3d and 4th defences was:-
 Could the Connecticut administra- tor of solvent estate, the final settle ment of which he caused to be delayed more than six years, and while the es- tate is in due course of settlement un- der the order and directions of the court of probate, evade the payment of an allowed and unpaid debt of the es- tate, under the sole defense that the delay so caused has been of such dura- tions as to bar the debt under the gen. eral statute of limitations, limiting the time of commencing on action to six years after the right of action accrued"
 The supreme court decided this ques- tiou in the negative and in favor of MT Robbins.

The Trials and TribuIatiOns of
 Farmer SarGlam.

Editor NeacS DEAR SR:-The great est question among farmers is the hay question.
 We all know that the hay crop will be light, but we have had light crops so often that we need have no extra fears this time. It always happens that when hay is poor crop people save for fod- der something that they would not if grass was heavy crop. This shows the importance of farming so that grass shall be our great crop to raise, and if we keep that object in view a short crop occasionally will not great ly damage us.
 Farmers who have nice dairy of COWS or other good stock, which they have been years raising and selecting, find that it is bad policy to sell-think- ing to replace them by buying. I would rather buy carload of meal or wheat middlings and lengthen out the fodder, than to sell off paying stock on account of being short of hay.
 went to see a friend several years ago, who had good selected herd of 20 COWS and other stock, and he was in perplexity about hay and fodder. I buy carload of wheat shorts, and when that is gone get another and keep your stock He did so and made a good thing of it, for he told me short time ago that he liked the plan so well that he bought grain every year for his stock, it helped out the fodder and made more milk, and of better quality.
 We that farm it feel all the losses caused by excessive heat and cold. Our prospects of loss or gain put one iu mind of the barometer. The atmospher- ic changes play the deuce with the pock- et-book, to say nothing of our anxieties and the cares we have and the pains we bestow on the different crops we raise. This year commenced with the usual routine of weather changes, which be, came of the extreme order as spring opened, and it has kept so until the present, which is time of frequent showers, that no one complains of yet. The season is passing and harvest is al hand, and those who have cut the early pieces can manure them and cut them again if they manage right.
 There is more corn and millet sowed, as far as my acquaintance extends, than has been for a number of years and some have cnt their rye after the freeze ir May, and those who did so at the time will have fodder from it; some waited for it to ripen and have lost it, and may as well plough it under and try over Ore man told me that it cost him 86C

COURT NOTES.
ROBBINS oS. COPING ESTATE.

The case of Samuel $. Robbins against Fanny W. Coffing, Daniel R. Williams and Justin Dewey, administrators upon the estate of George Coffing, deceased, was decided last week by the supreme court of Connecticut in favor of Mir Robbins.
 The case is one of unusual interest, owing to the amount in controversey and the principle of law involved.
 The facts are briefly these: The de- ceased, George Cofing, in his lifetime, purchased of Samuel s. Robbins fifty thousand dollars worth of stock in the Hunts, Lyman Iron company and Lime Rock Iron company, to be paid for within three years from the time of the transfer of the stock.
 The transfer was made on the 14th day of June, 1869, and on that day MI Cofing paid ten thousand dollars, leav- ing forty thousand dollars unpaid at the time of his decease, November 12, 1872.
 The defendants were appointed ad. ministrators and became duly qualified January 2, 1873.
 Within the period limited by the court of probate, MT Robbins presented his claim against the estate to the ad ministrators and it was allowed by them February IA, 1874, the administrators made return to the probate court in z statement of account, by which they charged themselves with the inventory amounting to $428,OOO, and credited themselves with claims proved and al lowed as paid and to be paid, amount ing to $197, ,000, and the same was duly recorded and among these items of cred 1t was the claim of Mir Robbins.
 The administrators at different time. applied for and obtained an extension of time for the final settlement of tn, estate until January, 1882.
 The reason given by the administra tors for asking for an extension of tim, to complete the settlement of the estat,

Mir Sardam says: Every part of the field that our farmers industry reaches is invaded by something that Is ruinous to our interests. It is evident he wants to be protected, but from whom or what doth not appear, except oleomargarine, for he also says, "give us prices so we can pay prices; money cheap and plen- ty," etc.
 Who shall we protect him from? Shall we protect him from the legitimate com petition of his brother farmers in the west !?
 The price of an article, especially one on which no revenue is collected, is governed by the law of supply and de mand, and even the price of imported articles, over and above the duty col lected, is regulated by the same law. A combination or ring of spectators can corner any article of merchandise and place an exorbitant price on it, but they can establish only Q temporary price. Likewise prices can be depressed tenn porarily by clique of bears, but wheth- CT the price be depressed or inflated it will soon be regulated by the supply and demand.
 Without going into an argument on political economy we express the opin- ion that protection keeps our factories, mills, iron works and manufactories of all kinds running, and furnishes em- ployment, directly and indirectly, to millions of people and thus furnishes them the money to purchase the farm CTS produce. Stop all these great in- dustries and the purchasing power of the operatives is taken away, and then what prices shall we see farm pro- duce selling at? It may be true that in consequence of the wages paid by the manufacturers the farmer Is compelled to pay higher prices for farm labor, but this is more than offset by the nome market which the operatives make for the farmers produce.
 One reason why money Is not as cheap as MT Sardam desires, is because so much money is required to carry on our manufacturing industries. If he is vii ling to close all the mills and shops in this country aud stop all the rail. roads, perhaps he could get money at less rate of interest, but where would his home market for his produce be |?
 Manufacturers, merchants, tradesmen, in fact men Tn all branches of business, can also say, 'give us prices, so that we can pay prices.
 We would be glad to see the farmers protected. If they have solved the problem and can point out the remedy for their present troubles, we would like to have them explain it, but we think that they, as well as manufactur. CTS must curtain their production in order to obtain higher prices.-Ed | NepS.

All of the variety part of our gardens has been planted more than once, and now at this time the Colorado pest is in its prime.
