President Cleveland is seriously ill with rheumatism, which is always dangerous to a'man of his a and physique. TWe who know him personally, say that Mr. Blaine's health is much more seriously impaired than is generally supposed. It is not impossible that the great arbiter of human destinieB may have something to do in deciding who shall, and shall not appear as contestants for presidential honors two years hence.
The reports that follow a national holiday make the thoughful doubt whether, after all, our clairos to civilization rest upon either broad or deep foundations* The popular amusements with a very large and icfluentialclass seems to be wholesale whisky-dtinkine, stabbirg and shooting The dispatches do not vary in the slighteat degree, and the newspaper correspondent could prepare the report beforehand, aeurately and correct, leaving blanks to be filled in with the names of parsons and places. The foreign missionary may be a necessary institution but the supply of homo missionaries does not begin to equaV the demand.
Murat Halstead has had the misfortune to be in error every time ho has attempted to estimate the character of a prominent man. Ag&inst no other iurnalist in this country have there been recorded so many ur.just accusations, unwarranted and abusive epithets, and conclusions deduced from premises so radically wroDg that they vere apparent to the most ordinary intelligence. To the list which includes Lincoln, Grant, Garfield- and Foster, the name of Logan is now to be added. What ever may have bsen Mr. LoganV attitude upon the Payne investigation, no one will for a moment believe that he was not promptsd by purely conscientious motives, and for reasons good and sufficient to himself. The exiended eulogy which the Commercial Gazette proffered after his death, will hardly compensate for the long continued, unjust and bitter abuse in which Mr. Halstead "has indulged, during the past year, jn the estimation of Logan's comrades who knew him to be as loyal to his country as he was fearless in its defense. Simple justice to the living is to bs preferred to the inofct elaborate and exhaustive eulogies of the dead.
It is a favorite argument with these who oppose churches th*t they are for the rich, and ot fSr the poor. The :rcth thai there is not a church in this, or any other city, where thi poor are not welcomed and receive precisely the same advantages that the well-to-do are able' to derive from the services. If the poor
there selves doubt this, ibsj can *t any time convince themselvei of the Iruib, In almost all churches pew ienU hare been abolished, that the poor miay feel that thev are at liberty to com® and ait wbere they like. The reitcd psur is an expense which those who are able bear cheerfully, because, thereby, their own personal comfort and convenience are secartd. If there were any discrimintion in their faver, the custom would not have been abolished. The plea that the poor have been excluded from the churches is simply an rtcoae for what are calleJ "popular meeting*"—
ten«.tional
honest poor, but the unregenerate rabble,
who find therein amusement that appeala
to their peculiar taste. The results of such meetings have not been an advance in the moral condition cf the class which they have aimed to reach. On the contrary, they have been followed by increased depravity and by insanity. The people of Muncie are prepared to furnish an itemized account of the so called revival that prevailed there, to the serious detriment of the community, substantiating this statement. •.
The connty commissioners in special session yesterday renewed the insurance on the poor house, Main street bridge, etc on which policies are now expiring end decided to divide it cp so that all the insurance men might have a chanoe. Why would not these good tactics apply to other things?—| Gazette,
The above statement discloses the fact, already known to many, that under the former board of commissioners the bulk of the insurance was given to the Democratic insurance agents. Yet while there was a Democratic board of commissioners no hue and cry was raised by the Gazettee because the board saw fit to literally restrict the insurance to Democrats. In this connection it might be well to say that the statement recently made by the Gazette regarding the equal distribution of county printing by the former board is not true. The Express, for four years past, until now, had a job office and bindery in connection with its office, and yst the Democratic board never gave the Express a dollar's worth of work. Instances miyht be cited showing that favoritism to have extended beyond mere paitv fealty. The Gazette was not laboring under this spirit of reform two years since, when its publishers prepared and had put through the present Democratic council an order taking the city advertising from all other newspapers ia7the city. It makes a big difference whose ox is being pored.

The above, while praising Logati, is also intended to recall the old story of 'gan's hesitancy at the outbreak of the rebellion. L-1 us see if history will bear out the Rwenion that Logan "was late in espougirg the Union cause." On January 7th, 1861, before the first gun was fired, gin voted in congress for the resolution approving the ''bold and patriotic act of Major Anderson in withdrawing from Moultrie to Fort Samter,' and of Jhe determination of the president to m?intain bim in that position.".

as a casus belli. Every Southern very much better than that of '85 member and Congressmen Vallandingtiam, Pendleton and Niblack voted against the resolution. When the Crittenden compromise measure was up for discussion in the house, February 5, 1861, Logan said, in addressing the house:
I have always and do yet deny the right of secession. There is no warrant fjr it in the constitution. It is wrong, it is unlew'u', nnoonstitational, and should be called by the right name—revolution. No good, sir, can result from it, but mischief may. It is no remedy- for any grievance. I hold that all grievances can be mnoh easier redresssd inside the union tha^out of it. I have been taught to believe that the preservation of this glorious union, with its broad flag waving over as as the shield for onr protectionion on land and on sea, is paramount to ell the parties and platforms that have ever exiate' or can exist I would to-day, if I had the power, sink my own party and every other one, with all their platforms, into the vortex of ruin, without heaving a sigh or shedding a tear, to save the anion, or even stop the revolution where it is.
Do the votes and words of Logan bear testimony "that he was late in espousing the Union cause?" They certainly show which side he favored while in congress. Now, what about his record after Sumter was fired on He went home, raised a regiment, and led it on the field of Belmont.
The tenor of the Gazette's editorial on General Logan is in harmony with its plat record. When Grant died, and the nation was in mourning, it could not lay aside its prejudices. And so it is with 'Logan.

in the number-who have asked for credit. It is an unquestioned fact that 'Times are better" now in Terre Haute than at this season in 1885, and that the improvement which commenced early in the summer has been brought up to the present general healthy standard by many plainly observable causes, among the most important of which may be mentioned the rich harvest of the past summer, the enormous corn crop, and in addition, the improved cond: of the industrial classes, in oar midst. Money is more plentiful and labor more largely employed and better paid. These, with many other causes have tended to bring about the present satisfactory condition of local trade, and give soand assurance of a good trade for the coming year. An Etprw reporter in a hasty visit among the leading business men gathered a number of statements regarding the trade of the present year as compared with that of '85.
A. Austin & Co., hrd a very lively and satisfactory trade they think some better than that of 1885.
J. K. Fisher said: "Perhaps there may have been no difference in the aggregate between my trade for 1886 and '85, but the tone of this year's ttade has been much improved. Money has been more plentiful and people are buying a better quality of goods."
Myers Bros' trade during the past year was fully 33 per cent, in advance cf any previous year since they have been in business.
Mr. C. F. Froeb's business for the psst three years has been about at the same notch, but if there was any difference at all it was in favor of this year's trade.
A. P. Kivits enjoyed a much better trade than in 1885. People purchased better goods and porchaecd more of there. He was well satisfied.
H. F. Schmidt's trade was much better than in 1885, especially during the months of October, November and December.
E. W. Leeds' trade was more than satisfactory, and hts holiday trade was fully f600 better than that of '85.
A. H. Bogeiuan: "Oh, my trade has been ahead of 1885. There has been a ereat deal more money in circulation, Ind people, especially farmers, do not stan3 on small differences in buying goods."
B. Forster: "During the last six months of this year my trade has been much in advance of tbat for the sime time in 1885. Mv holiday trade, this year, was the best I ever had.
Joe Miller said his trade was about the same this year as last perhaps a "little.bit be»ter" this year.
A. C. Ford: "Business, on the whole, better this year than last. The tone of trade is much improved."
W. W. Oliver's business for the whole year and the holidays was better than that of last year.
Phil Schloss: Trade much better than in 1885. Especially the fall trade. Finkbiner & Duenweg: Trade much improved and the present holiday trade ovor 50 per cent, better than that of 1885.
J. H. Sykes: Well satisfied with the improvement of his trade for this year over that of 1885.
Hoberg, Root & Co.: Trade for 1886
E. R. Wright & Co.: Business for this year far in advance of last year's trade, and the holiday traffic was fully doubled.
James Hunter: With-the exception of 1883, my trade this year has been the best I ever had.
E-tpenhain & Albrecht were well satisfied. Their business for this year was an iocrease over that of '85.
A. Herz: Business much better this year than last. S. C. Stimson: "I was not in business in 1885, but thus far, this year, my trade has been satisfactory."
P. J. Kaufman: Trade for this year wps decidedly betterthan last. Oar holiday trade this year which, with us, commences about three days before the holidays, was nearly double that of 1885."^
George S. Zimmerman: "Trada in 1886 has been strong and paying. Many merchants have been enabled to more than balance their losses of 1885 and 1884."

STATE PRESS.
Vincennes Commercial: "A Florida woman was arrested for wearing a tin bustle filled with smuggled Jamaica rum. If such fashions reach Kansas and Iowa thev will knock the drug .stores endwise."
Columbus Republican: 'The bitterest enemies of Logan, and no man had more or bitter ones, politically, wil sive him credit, for courage, honesty, ability anj patriotism, and will unite in the sorrow that the death cf such a man always brings."
New Albany Ledger (Dam.): "John A. Logan filed a page in the history of the times. In the heat of political contests abuse had been heaped upon him, but even bis bitterest foe never accused him of dishonesty. At the end of along pub lie life he leaves the heritage of an untarnished name."
Logansport Journal: "General Logan's death closes the career of a man who always tried to do his duty fully add well. He knew no middle ground. His convictions were strong and he had the coursge to act upon them. Hew is a great man. Throughout the nation the announcement of his death will be received with every evideucs cf sorrow."
Michigan City Dispatch: "When workingmen are oat of work it is_ the workingmen who put their hands in'o their pockets to help one another. No politicians appear on the scenes at such time to lend a helping hand. When election day comes around, it is the poli tici»n who claims to be the workineman's best friend and gets the fat offices." "Evanaville Courier-Democrat: "The admiiersof Senator Vooihees in Indiana and elsewhere should not be disappointed when a week passes without the publication of an interview from that great statesman. They may be sure that he will not allow the time to extend much beyond a week, and a'so that he will make up richly for any delay in comirg forward with his views by greatly widening the scope and variety of his discursion pressing public questions."
In no instance has Salvation Oil failed in giving immediate relief from rheumatism or neuralgia.

MRS. LOGAN'S GIRLHOOD:
msi
in Mis-
Her Father'* Early Mrs(|lsi
I ind
Illinois.
Fifteen miles north of Columbia, Mo., upon the south bank of Silver's Fork creek, nearly fifty years ago, stood a small village of not over fifty inhabitants, bearing the title of "Petersburg." Long years ago it passed from existence and only a few piles of brick remain to mark where onus it stood. But brief and humble as was its history, it was the birthpsce of no less a person than Mrs. General John A. Logan, whose fame res's not less upon the fact of being the wife of a distinguished candidate for the presidency, than upon her own remarkable talents, so often displayed in the political arena in aid of her ambitions bus band. A correspondent of the Kansas City Times recently gathered some interesting facts in regard to Mrs. Logan from interesting facts in regard to Mrs. Logan from Mrs. Cyrene H. Warnock, her mother's sister, a highly intelligent lady, now a resident of Sturgeon.
Aboot 1833 General George P. Dorris, a merchant of Marion, Illinois, who af' terwards became somewhat noted as a citizen of St. Louis and whose wife was murdered in that city a few ytsars ago by her grandson, Russell Brown, removed to Missouri, first stopping at Huntsville, and afterward locating at Peteisburg. He brought with him a young man named John M. Cunningham as a clerk and opened a dry goods store. Cunning' ham was 22 years old, an intelligent exemplary young man and quite attentive to tusinlss. He boarded for nearly two years with Uncle Hibert Brink, now a resident of Sturgeon and who then owned a mill in Petersburg. Mr. Brink, who is now 86 years old, remembered him well and (-peaks of him in the highest terms. While Cunningham was clerking in the store he made the acquaintance of Miss Elizabeth Fontaine, daughter of Joseph Fontaine, who lived about a mile from the ''burg," where Uncle Whit Noe now lives, and the re suit was they were married in about 1836. They soon went to housekeeping.
Their residence, Mrs. Warnock say", she remembers as distiac.'ly as if it were yesterday. It was a hewed-log house, one Ktory high, with one room in front and an room, with a passage between, In this humble abode was born Mary S. Cunningham, now Mrs. Ligan. Mr. Cunningham, in partnership with Mr. Schooler, bought out Gen. Dorris and continued for awhile, but the financial crisis of 1837 bore heavily upon- them and they sold out and Cunningham and his family, consisting of his wife, Mary S. and Hilbert, returned to Marion, III., and re embarked in the dry goods business. He sold goods for several years in Marion, but when the war with Mexico broke out he was made captain of a com pany of Illinois volunteers and marched into Mexico. After his return from the war he held several important offices in his county.
Mary was now up in her teens, and d"ring tho last few years bad been attending school in Marion, but being possessed of more than an ordinary mind her parents were determined to send her where her mental powers should be fullv developed, and accordingly arrangements were made, and Mary was sent to the convent at St. Vincent, Ky., at which institution she received a thorough edu cation. After leaving St. Vincent she returned to Marion. There was in that place at this time a yonng attorney by t'he name of John A. Logan, who had bnt recently located there. Capt. Cunningham being a popular politician the two were more or less thrown together, and how it came about is not stated, but at any rate the young attorney and the captain's daughter, Miss Mary S., were in due course ol time married.
The young wife immediately installed herself in the place cf companion and helpmeet to her husband. She accompanied bim on all his professional juurneys, an undertaking in those days of wildernesses and no roads often requiring great endurance and privation. In 1856 the devoted wife saw her husband triumphantly elected a member of the legislature, and in the famous Douglas and Lincoln senatorial contest he was ected as a Douglas Democrat to congress. In all these hard fought political campaigns the noble wife went with her hus band, assisting in much of his work of corresoondence and copying, and fre quently receiving his friends and contorting with them on the details of the campaign. When Mr. Logan went to congress as a representative Mrs. Logan went with him. She remained with him in Washington until the outbreak of the rebellion, when he resigned his seat in congress to return to Illinois to go into the service of his country.
The war having cojnmeneed and Mr. Logan having raised and been assigned te the command of the Thirty-fust Illinois volunteers, Mrs. Logan, with her only living child, then 3 years uld (now Mrs. Tucker), r. tumed to her father's home at Marion. The Illinois troops having been ordered into csmp at Cairo Mrs. Los an joined her husband there. During the tierce battle of Belmont Mrs. Logan heard the booming of the un8 across the turgid flood of the Mistissippi. In the midst of the painful and anxioUB suspense for the safety of, her own, of whom she felt that he was in the thickest of the coiiflict, she gave a helping hand to the care of the wounded and suffering soldiers as they were brought back from that bloody fit Id,
When the army entered upon the Tennesse river campaign Mrs. Lop an again returned to her home, but was soon shocked by the news from Donelson that her hu band had fallen at the head of his charging column dangerously wounded. She hastened to th: scene to care for her husband. For days it was a struggle between life and dea
At Memphis in the winter of 1862 '63. Mrs. Logan again joined her husband, now a general, and remained there until he led his troops in the campaign which ended in the surrender of Vicksburg.
During this time and until the end of the war Mrs Logan remained at Carbondale, where out ef the general's salary thev had bought an unpretentious home. Upon his return from the war General Logsn was nominated by acclamation for congressman-at-large. After his election Mn. Logan returned to Washington and has been one ef the prominent figures in Washington society ever since.

MUNKACSY WARNED.
How He Is Lionized by New York Society. -r. Brooklyn Eagle.
Munkasoy, the painter of "Chr st Before Pilate," is proving himself to be a very pleasant fellow, and is making a host of friends in 4?ew York society in fact, he is so ran after tbat the poor man will have to leave New York in order to get some rest. People seem to think that he has nothing to do but to attend luncheons and dinner parties given in his honor, end to listen to the praises of his great work—great technically, if not s.n ideal of spiritual representation of the scene. He himself is, however, highly delighted over New York and if soother great historian picture comes from his easel within the next live years, he says it will be the landing of Columbus. Mankacsy, by the way, gives one an extraordinary idea of what the Frenchman in the Paris art world thinks of us, notwithstanding that we have a great many young Americans in the Ecole des Beaux Afts. For instance, he tells me that at a farewell party which was given him in Paris on the eve of leaving, an old Frenchman warned him against landing in New York without being well armed. The old gentleman informed the whole dinner party that New York was probably the worst city in the woild, and the nost dangerous place for a foreigner to trust himeel' in he had it on the authority ol a brother of his wife, who had dooe business here for years rod escaped back to France with a whole skin and a large fortune. "Gen tlemen," said the old fellow, who had never moved five hundred miles away from Paris in hia life, "it is utterly impossible for a stranger to go oot alter •lark in the streets of New York without fighting for his life. I am told on good authority that when the business men of the city walk down to tbeir offices in the morning they kick oat of their way into the gutters the bodies of the men who have been murdered'during the nigh t." It was with this cheerful notion of New York that Munkacsy ariived here. No wouder that he is delighted.
Her Long-Lost Father.' Mrs. Champagne, of St. Louis, has not known where her father was for yesrs. The other day an old gentleman called and said he was her long lost parent He showed such a surprising knowledge of the family that she be lieved bim. He told ber that be had made a fortune of $8,000,000 in the far West, and now tbat he had found his heir he would die happy. It was touching meeting, and the only drawback to the old man's happiness was the fsct that it was after banking hours, and he was out of cash. Then his dutiful daughter loaned him $15, and pretty soon be stepped out Mrs Champagne has not seen bim since, neither has she seen her son's beaver overcoat nor his gold watch and chain.
