FLAGRANT WRONGS TO BE
RECTIFIED.

Gen. Logan declined the position OF
President pro tenn of the Senate, and
may assume a work where he will
make himself more useful to the coun-
try. 1t is stated he will take the lead
in the Senate in opposing the confirma-
ton of what he believes to be improper
appointments by the administration.
No doubt Mr.. Logan will be charged
with inaugurating factious opposition
TO Presidential appointments. If any
one will look at the matter dispassion-
ately there is nothing factious about it.
Every intelligent citizen comedies it to
be the right of the President to appoint
Democrats to Office in preference to
Republicans. But there are certain ap'
pointments which the President has nc
right to make, and we submit it to
candid Democrats to answer. Has the
President a right to remove compe
| tent and faithful union soldier from
Office to make room for Democratic
applicant? Even were there no civil
service rules governing in such cases
we doubt if there be an honest Demo
crat who would pronounce such actor
of the President justifable. It is tt
cases of this kind to which Gen. Logan
will devote attention. tits said he ha
already collected testimony of aggra
waiting circumstances of injustice dom
worthy men.

one superior to Sherman.

AN UNUSUAL RELIGIOUS
MOVEMENT.

The Episcopal church has not usu-
ally heretofore been identified with
what are called religious revivals. A
scene not often witnessed occurred in
Trinity church, New York, on Thurs
day of last week, when, at midday, that
great edif1ce was thronged with bust
ness men, bankers, merchants and
brokers, to participate in the opening
of the Advent Mission, to be conduct
ed by Rev. Hay Atkin, of England
a clergyman of the English estab-
lished church. The meeting was one
of unusual solemnity, and by what
ever name it may be called, it is sub.
stantially revival ser vice. 1t is the
purpose to reach every church in the
city. Rev. Hay Akin has conducted
services of Il is kind with great success
in England, and comes to this country
with much experience. The New
York World, speaking of this new
religious movement, says:
at is not improbable that denomin
alton commonly deemed less likely
than most others to engage in evangel-
istic effort may have begun move
ment which will extend to every
church in the city. Like the Episco-
palians who are devoting themselves
to the Advent Mission, the Presbyte-
rians of New York have manifested
new zeal by organizing an evangelistic
enterprise to continue throughout the
winter, and it may be expected that
the work of these two great ecclesias-
tlcal bodies will profoundly affect the

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message was deliver
ed to both Houses of Congress on Tues
day. The only comment we have to
make on the message this week is what
seems to us its objectionable length ;
it occupies twelve columns in the Chi
cago Journal. In papers printed in
smaller type the space occupied is Jess.
Mr.. Cleveland's message is no longer
than has been some of his predecessors
in past years. The great length Of
Presidential messages has been the
subject of criticism the past quarter of
century. The statement has been
made in former years, and is now re-
peated again, that if the Presidents
message were abbreviated to one-third
its length it would be read by three
times as many people as now, and all
of essential Importance ii contains
would be quite as we'll unde rstood
The constitution requires the Presi'
dent from time to time to communicate
to Congress information of the state OF
the Union, and recommend such meas
ures as he shall judge expedient.

LIFE OF GENERAL GRANT.

The first volume of the life of Gen
Grant is now before the public, and
will soon be in possession of all who
desire to avail themselves of it. We
have not yet seen copy of the book
but copous extracts from it have ap-
peared in the leading city daily papers,
furnishing fair specimen of the style
and character of the work. There
are persons in this and other commu-
mites who have always grudgingly
conceded any ability to Gen. Grant be-
yond that of maneuvering an army on
the battlefield. They forget that 1t re-
quiIes craftsmanship to turn victory
won to the best advantage for the
country. During the late war of the
rebellion Gen. Grant was net only a
successful military chieftain, but his
judgment as an organizer was wise
and reliable. When the public life of
Gen. Grant, as written by himself, shall
be thoroughly scanned by unprecedented
minds competent to judge of it's merits
the verdict will be that he was not
only military man of rare ability,
but also a writer capable of using the
English language forcibly and to the
best advantage. The second volume
will soon be in readiness, and an un-
paralleled sale of the work is already
assured.

FARMERS CONGRESS.

A national congress of farmers con-
vened at Indianapolis, December 2, to
consider the interests Of agriculture as
connected with national legislation.
Eleven states were represented by dele
gates, among whom were meL Of wide
ly known influence. Wisconsin does
not appear to have been represented.
The Farmers Congress is a permanent
organization, and is likely to grow in
impOrtanc e. The interests of agricul-
ture have received less attention from
Congressional legislation than other
industries, while it is entitled to the
largest; the agriculturalists constitute
81 per cent of the population of the
United States. If the farmers were
represented in Con gressional and legis-
lative bodies in proportion to their
numbers, our law making bodies would
be composed of more than one-half of
that class. The Farmers Congress
passed resolution, requesting the
national Congress to restore the duty
on wool as it stood in 1880. The most
important measure was asking Con-
gress to create the Office of Secretary of
Agriculture. This is a reasonable re-
quest, and no good reason can be assign
ed why it should not be granted. 1t is
true there is US. Commissioner of
Agriculture, but that is not a cabinet
Office.

ton; citizen of this place was the
first to discover them. The chief and
most notable facts appear to be that
the son Carl fell from the loaded wagon,
the wheels of which passed over him.
The father was fatally injured in at
tempting to stop the runaway team.
The father was found alive and made
anxious inquiries after his son; he was
conveyed to his house in extreme
agony, but before his death, which soon
after occurred, he became calm and
passed away quietly. The son was
probably killed instantly. An incident
which perhaps may be interesting to
some readers is mentioned. The faith
full dog of Henry Rohlfng was at his
side Immediately after the accident,
and licked the blood from his wounds.
When Mr.. Rohlfng was being carried to
his house the dog followed after,
bringing the cap of his master, and
carrying it into the house.
The funeral of Henry Rohlfng and
Carl Rohlfng was appointed to be held
in the Congregational church in this
city, Sunday, l o'clock P. M. More
unpropitieus weather for q funeral
could hardly be in this latitude; the
mercury was down nearly to zero, and
the cold piercing winds were uncom.
monty penetrating. The funeral cortege
was obliged to face the storm between
four and five miles. 1t will be taken
as an evidence of the high estimation
in which the Rohl6Dgs were held when
it is stated that many respectable cit;z
ems from the southeastern part OF
Pleasant Prairie braved the storm
on Sunday to attend the funeral
thus showing their respect for thu
memory of the dead. An appropriate
sermon was preached by Rev. w. l.
Bray. The church was filled by larg,
and attentive audience. A more sac
and impressive funeral occasion wa
probably never before witnessed in thi
city; father and son, stricken dowl
in the vigor of manhood, lay coffinet
for the grave; within doors impressive
sorrow marked the faces of the multi
tude of pathizing friends and neigh
bors as they looked for the last time OF
the dead; without, the sombera skie
and the requiem of the wintry wind
added to the impressive gloom of tn
occasion. 49,
| Mr.. Henry Rohlfng was so years O
age: his wife, who survives him, is Z
years old. The son Carl, who was kill
ed, was 80 years old. One of the son
residing in Iowa is sick; Henry F
another son, arrived from Dakota jus
in time to attend the funeral.

A TELEGRAPH extra last Friday
morning was issued which announced
the tragic death of Henry Rohlfng
and his son Carl Rohl6ng. No addi-

witnessed by no one, the circumstances
attending it must be only conjectural.

matter does not differ materially from

CIRCULAR.

CHICAGO, December "a, 1880.
Our wool market has gained further
in strength since our last review, owing
to decreasing supplies here and in the
west, and the prospective short upplies
of wool in the west for the needs of our
western mills during the remaining five
or six months of the season, until an
other clip will be available.
A very active demand has been de-
veloped lately for light, medium and
low medium woods of all kinds. but these
are now in exceedingly light stock, and
generally held very firmly at l and &c
higher than they have been. Bright /
and blood woods of Wis, ILL.,, Ind, Mo-,
Eastern Iowa, etc., have sold at Csc, but
we do not think any such can be bought
now at less than 26c or &c. ] blood or
fine medium grades have not teen in so
much demand, but have sold fairly at
quotations, and will all be wanted sooner
or later. Coarse woods are scarce and
wanted. Fine woods are in less demand
at the moment, and can be hardly quot
ed as strong for immediate sale, but will
be wanted later.
Large sales of western and territory
woods have been made lately, and stocks
of such are being reduced The fall
clips of Texas, Colorado, &C., have re-
ceived more attention. Washed pulled
wooLs continue very firm. For clean,
well sorted, good length woods, Wis, Ill.
and similar woods, about 26 to 28c fine,
% to 30c super, Is to 23c coarse, with
territory woods from same to sc less, ac-
cording to condition and quality; and
carpet stock II to 15c.
Stocks of all kinds of bright woods of
this section, and the lower grades of any
kind, were never in so light stock in the
west, even at d later season of the wool
year, as now. With some five or six
months yet to another clip, considerable
wool will doubtless have to be brought
from eastern markets to supply the
needs of our western mills. 80
The situation on our market is very
strong, and present holders of woods in
the west should not hesitate to forward
their woods to us now. that they may
profit by the present light stocks on our
market and the high prices to be obtain
able this winter, as with the large offer
ings of another clip in the summer
prices will without a doubt be lower
We will make no further charge than
our regular commissions for holding
woods until spring, if desired, subject to
the instructions of owners.
