The Cape Girardeau Nesos will
change to an all-at-home next week.
There are now four papers in the South
east who have dropped "patents" with
in the past three months. This virtu-
Gus squirt of home production will
probably last through six months, and
then we expect to see the adventurous
spirits return, lank in pocket, short in
circulation, but rich in experience. The
fact is .'patent" used, but not abused,
is necessity these days. On our sub
scrlption list are many subscribers who
take no other paper than the REGIS
TER. Do you suppose they would be
as we'll satisfied If the paper were all
at home? Brethren, let US reason to-
gether: take the last weeks edition of
the REGISTER, for instance. In addi-
ton to eight columns of home reading,
and twenty columns of advertising,
we, through our patent side, gave our
readers twenty-six columns of good,
wholesome, interesting matter. OF
these, SIX columns contained compiled
news from all over the world, the ed.
Ting of which would keep the ordina-
~ country editor busy three days in
the week; six columns contained varied
reading-wit and humor, scientific mis-
ceilany, household recipes, etc.; the
Presidents message took six more: to
the details of the funeral of the late
Vice-President were given three col
umns; and the remainder of the space
was taken up by serial story, politi-
cal matter, agricultural reading, etc.
With the opening Of Congress or the
assembling Of the Legislature COM

The society ladies of De Soto are

man. He has been reporting some of
the toilets worn by the prominent ladies

to 'em strong-about two and a half
columns. We read those columns with
admiration and envy, and in our ignor-
anee sigh ed for that EDITORS knowledge

things. With somewhat of gleeful vim
dictiveness, We therefore reproduce the
winding-up of DETER from a wrathful

These exasperatfnss ot, ps induce us to
hope the next time cards are sent to the

the measles or be too busy to attend; and
advise him in future to confine his flights OF
fancy to the congratulations, where he seems
to be at home, If not truthful. Patience is a
virtue most ladies possess, but it won't bear
much strain when fashion editor, who
don't know full-draped fronts from full
draped backs, makes of his descriptions such
hopeless muddles and calls floral canopy

THE ILLINOIS sENAToRsHIP
Sudden Death of Representative Logan
and it's Effect on the Contest.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Feb. 26.-Repre-
sentative Robert Logan (Republican), of
Whitesides, fell at the head of the House
stairs to-day as he was on his way to the
chamber. AS the elevator was not run
ming, he attempted to walk up long
stairway. Mr.. Logan had been ailing all
the session with heart disease, and could
not stand excitement of any kind. When
he fell he was opposite the main entrance
to the chamber, and was picked up by
friends and carried inSo an ante room.
and doctors called. Five minutes later
he was pronounced dead.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
House and Senate and profound regret
was expressed on all sides. The body
will be taken to Morrison.
In the House this morning il was re-
solved that committee of two Senators
and three Representatives with the Door
Keeper OF the House, attend the funeral of
Representative Logan. 1t was also re-
solved that the members of the House ac-
company the remains to the train in a
body. 1t was decided to appoint COM
mittee of five to draft suitable resolutions
relative to the death of Mr.. Logan. The
Senate concurred in the resolutions
passed by the House.
In JOINT session IL was arranged that no
vote would be taken for United States
Senator before next Tuesday.
By the death of Representative Logan
the House and Senate Jointly stands
Democrats 102, including Streeter. and
Haines, Independent Democrats, and Re-
publicans 101. In order to elect Senator
103 constitutes a quorum, consequently
if the Republicans refuse to vote
as they now propose the election
OF a Senator will not take place
until after a successor to Mr.. Logan is
elected. 1t was thought that after the
death of Logan 102 would constitute a
quorum, but it is understood here by the
leaders on both sides that such is not the
case.
Gov. Oglesby this afternoon signed an
order calling for an election of a Repre-
sentative in Whiteside county in place of
Logan, deceased, to take place March 2l.

DUBLIN, Feb. 26.-U United Ireland to-
day, in commenting on the proposed visit
of the Prince OF Wales to Ireland, dis
claims any gratuitOus disrespect for the
Prince of Wales. ''But," it says, ''if the
Castle fiunkies organize mock demonstra-

sured that there will be counter displays

The article suggests that 100000 mem

Irish members of Parliament, or if this is
not feasible that there be a vast public
assembly in Phoenix Park, where shall be

TALK OF INVADING CANADA.
Discussing a Proposed Irish ExpeditIo
Across the Border from Buffalo.

Discussing Proposed Irish Expedition
Across the Border from Buffalo.
BUFFALO, Feb. 24.-At an unknown
rendezvous in this city, last night, the
executive committee of the Irish Revolu-
tionary Army held meeting. Most Of
those present were of Buffalo, but it is
claimed that representatives were there
from New York, Detroit and Chicago.
One or two have been found who have
confessed that they were present, but they
refuse to give many facts as to what was
said or done. They do, however, say that
they talked OF invading Canada in case
Canadian troops are sent to Egypt, and
that it was urged that an expedition be
fitted out to cross the border from Buffa-
10. One of the interested parties said
that they were supplied with arms, had
money enough to carry on a campaign,
and could concentrate 10000 men within
a short time. This one claimed that their
movements had been decided upon, but
could not be given out until the time for
action came.
The conservative Irish-Americans also
held meeting yesterday, and pledged the
National League here to raise funds to
support one Parnellite in the English
Parliament. 1t is also understood that
the Monroe County League has done the
same.
