No Change in the Senatorial Situation.


CHICAGO, Feb. 26. The Times will tomorrow
publish interviews with Hon. M. w. Fuller,
Judge w. c. Goudy and Hon. 5. Corning Judd,
leading Democratic lawyers of this State, upon
the effect which the death of Representative
Logan will have upon the senatorial deadlock
at Springfield. They agree in saying that it
does not change the status of affairs:
shat the law requires n majority Of all the mem
bers Of both houses elected to be present and
voting in order to constitute quorum. The full
roster of the joint assembly is 204. and the
presence of 103 is necessary TO make it a legal
body for choice of senator With this
number present and voting, a majority
of the votes cast. it is claimed
will elect. There are l02 Democratic members
of the JOINT assembly, and, since the death of
Logan, 10l Republican members, so that either
party, to secure constitutional quorum, must
aave the assistance of one or more members of
the opposite party. Three weeks or more will
'slapse before Representative Logan's place can
be filed by a special election

He surely must be, with a face bright and
His eyes I'd prefer of violet blue,
His hair lighs brown or very warm gold.
He must sing--a fine tenor-and dance nice

And tell as good stories as ever were told.
No smoking allowed, for the weed detest,
And, of course, no remarks that are rude
or i'll bred.
And I'd like him to always be stylishly
dressed,
The young man I marry" she said-she

And the maid married-she did-she did
A three-score old fellow much shorter than
she,
Who wore black wig; that but awkwardIy

A pate that no balder could possibly be.
And his voice was creak, and he danced
like bear,
And his nose it was red, and duh grey
were his eyes,
AID he'd sit by the hour and stupidity stare,
And he'd never say anything witty or wise.
And he'd smoke clay pipe from morning
till night,
In his mouth held of strongest tobacco a
quid.
And he dressed-but enough, he had two
millions quite,
Aud she married him gladly-she did

Cooperation.

Systematic cooperation in the
business of farming is as essential
to success as in any other business.
II farmers would more fully appre-
ciate the advantages of united eff
fort in their business they would
not only be more successful individ-
ually, but communities, counties
and states would be.greatly benefit
ted. We de not mean by co-opera-
tion that they are to be selfish, as
individuals or as class, but that
by unity Of purpose they may &C
complish greater good for them
selves and the community in which
they live. If farmers ars prosper
Gus, almost every other branch OF
business will be more or less so.
If they would meet together oftener
and compare notes, interchange
views and discuss the most impor-
tant questions as to the best and
most profitable crops to grow; how
to cultivate, and when and where to
sell their surplus, many of them
would be better informed and less
liable to make mistakes in their bu-
siness. II our lands are too poor to
compete with the rich prairiss OF
the west in growing grain to feed
the world, we must abandon the pro-
duction of grain as a surplus and
turn our attention to other things.
The first and most important du-
ty of every land holder is to re-
store, as fast as his means will allow
his lands to their primitive fertility.
We are but tenants, and hold in
trust for our children and children's s
children. Our prosperity and that
of the country in which we live de-
pend upon the character Of the soil
If our lands. are rich and productive
our people will be prosperous, but
if poor they will be poor. Next to
the restoration of our lands, in i'm
portance, is the improvement in
quality and quantity of live stock.
Fine well bred stock pay better
than scrubs. 1t is not every farm
er that Is able to purchase a large,
fine, well-bred jack, stallion, Short
Horn or Jersey bull, but by club
bing together the farmers of almost
every neighborhood can supply
themselves with the very best Of
males for breeding purposes. Far
mers' associations, well organized
and conducted, would be of great
benefit to all, and especially young
farmers. Let them associate them
selves together, not for the purpose
of interfering with any other class,
but for their mutual benefit and the
advancement of the agricultural in
terests of the country, upon the
success of which nearly every other
business is more or less interested.
