The opportunities there are far superior to those offered in the frigid Northwest. o Sttt OQP ieiiipiioen ¥ “Tae ELEcTioN laws will doubtless come in for a good turning over during the coming session of the Legislatare. Why not adopt the New York liws with but few modifications. _ EquALLy HONORED in 1884, Gen. John A. Logan and Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks are profoundly mourned in 1886. There are no divisions now bui a unanimous and heartfelt expression of SOrrow. : Sttt 4 A Tue xews of Gen. John A. Logan’s death was as great a surprise to the country as was that of Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks' but a few months ago. The public was not prepared for such a sad announcement. ' Tue friends of Judge Holman have began an active canvass in favor of that gentleman for U. 8. Senator. The election of no other man would reflect more credit upon our State and party than William S. Holman. H —_——ro—————— 2 Powritics seem to ha e lost their charm to Hon. Roscoe Conklin, the foremost Republican in the country, as he posi"tively refuses to allow the use of hi-si name in connection with the U. S. Sen-‘ atorship. He prefers to practice law.} Speagmve of the death of General Logan the Evansville Journal pathetically obseryes: “How solemn the thoughts of some of us when we think of the prominent men who have passed away within the past two years. Soon none will be left, and the young generation must furnish the future rulers of the Republie.” | Tre Ilinois Legislature, upon which deyolves the duty of electing a suzces sor to Senator Logan, is composed of 110 ‘Republicans, 81 Democrats, 9 United ‘Labor men, 2 Greenback Democrats, I . Prohibitionist, and 1 Independent. As the Republicans have a clear majority over all, the caucus nominee will undoubtedly be chosen withou! contest. AL the papers agree that John A. Logan was a thoroughly honest man; that he never prostituted office to personal gain; that he never took a dollar .to which he was net honestly entitled, and that he never defrauded anyone of his just due.. This speakes volumes fo. the departed Senator. He lived an honest life and died a poor man. Taz comixeg 'Legislature will be call-. ed upon to make a change in the law regulating the rate of interest upon school fund loans. Id many counties in the state it has been impossible to loan. the money at the rate specified, ‘and 1n consequence the counties have been compelled to pay into the state treasury the interest not coilected as is provided. i Tae idea that he could write for the _newspapers was-fatal to “Jim Cummjns,” the daring express robber. His letters were the only clew- worked by the detectives, and his arrest last Friday with his pals was directly due to his foolisn propensity to advertise his smartness. The capture was one of the best pieces of detective work performed in this country for many: years. Sexator WiLtoy, of lowa, in a reeent speech in the Senate, in support of the conference report on the InterState. Commerce bill, denounced the railroad system as an intermeddler in almost everv: department of business, and opposed in every measure to the interests of the people. The adoption of the conference report, he declared would be the only remedy whereby the public could obtain its rights. This emphatic anti-monopoly declaration by the lowa Senator creates some surprise. He has not heretofore been considered an anti-monopolist.

- I'nx fight for the vacant senatorship in Illinois had well begun hefore one balf of the people in that State knew that the illustrious Logan wasdead. It has already developed into a fight of boodle and presumption against brains and pop'ullarity* C. B. Farwell, the Chicago millionaire, has long wished to occupy a seat in the American House of Lords, and if money and an army of paid claquers can avail anything, no poor man need apply. Gov. Dick Ogles by is the candidate of the people, and ke is only dependent upon his popularity to carry him through.

“WE .need an intermediate penal institution in this state worse than any other kind of an asylum,” said Governor Gray, recently. “We are manufactaring criminals every day. Young and comparatively innocent persons -are sentenced to the same penitentiary with hardened criminals, There should be a reformatory for offenders who have borne good characters and who may be measurably punished and restrained without smirching their reputation forever.” Governor Gray has given this subject considerable thought, and his recommendations should receive careful ~onmsideration by the legislative authority. _ : Maxy expressions are made by the ‘press of both parties that Joan A. Lowan was literally hounded to death by Jealous and disappointed partisans in his own party. Since hisindependence in rebuking the senseless attemnt to malign Senator Payne, of Ohio, several leading Ohio papers have , been scandalously yvituperative in these attacks upen Mr. Logan. Not an opportunity wad passed witheut questioning ‘the motives of their colleague who stood in the way of the presidential aspirations of some creature of their own. Just at the beginning of the fatal attack came the monstrous onslaught upon him in the Cincinnati CommercialGazette, in the publicafion of an interpolated letter claimed to have been written by General Grant. His physisal condition was such when theassault was made that 1t was aggravated by his itlrihbility of mind, and he sought his bed, which proved to be the bed of death,” The doctors ‘wers mystified e v e a mind w‘gd warirrmbi the calumnies of an unbridled journal.,

Tuere will be no “old ticket” in the field in 1888. The death of John A Logan will cause the Blaineites to look for support in another qua.rter.J

.It 1s evident tha* Dakota will enjoy another boom during the coming session. Organized efforts are being made i many parts of the Territory to attract emigration and all appearances point toward a successful move in that direction. . ¥ ;

Ix the Treasury department it is shown that there has been a decrease in expenses during the past year of $1,600,000, while in all the departments $24,240,282 less than the same period under Republican administration, This is a vastsaving of the people’s money.

Ix a recent interview Hon. D. W. Voorhees forcibly expresses himself satisfied that the Democrats have honestly elected, and will maintain, a majority of two on joint ballot in the coming legislature, thereby insuring ‘the election of a Democrat to succeed Harrison. ;

_ It isintimated that our own *Biliy™ VanSlyke is no longer a candidate for speaker of the house, and has only been beating around the bush in hope of getting a little cheap notoriety. If he gets nto the right combination he may get a chairmanship of somne committee, but if he don’t, he will get left. ‘

Nor a’ word has been uttered questioning the sturdy, unwavering honesty of John A.Logan. His record as a soldier is bright and untarnished as the keen blade he upheld so valiently. His public life was creditable, and his private life beyond reproach. During many years of active public life, John A. Logan carefully guarded his honor and evidenced his honesty of purpnse. He gave the best yeaps of his life to his country, and died ilrhis harness a poor man, unsmirched by even the whisperings of his enemies. - - A TRUE FKIEND OF THE SOLDIER. " (Chicago Herald.) e o

Under the limitations within which Géneral Logan moved he was a useful man at Washington.. He owed so much to the war that it was not surprising that he made practically no advance in his political ideas after, the close of the struggle. InaSenatemade up for the most part of plutocrats and railroad attorneys he stood ‘forth on more than one oecasion as a man of the Ele_aople, clean handed, honest, resolute. e was not mixed up in 10bs. He was: no man’s man. -He was not in favor 'with the rings and combinatrons, though sometimes by force of party fealty unwittingly aided them. He was derided and: caricatured at the East, where his weaknesses were exaggerated hy men who in many respects were his inferiors, and he was a laborious friend of the common soldier, ready at all times ‘and without price to assist him to something more than his rights. In these respects his was a rugged and a pleasant ligure in comparison with those of many of his more elegant associates. 'ln an ideal Senator John A. Logan would have been out of place, as he lacked the judicial temperament, the meditative mind, the “freedom from rampant partyism and the scholarship ‘which have usually heen associated with the men deetned fit for membership in that august body. - : £

THE INTER-STATE COMMERCE BILL. : - Harrisburg Pa.trib}. . The agreement ot the committee of conference representing the Senate and House of Congress on a bill to regulate inter-state commerce leads to the expectation that this long delayed measure of legislation will be consummated during the present session. The Cullum bill which was passed by the Senate at the last session was a worthless sort of thing, for the reason that it was stripped of every feature that could have served to restrain the railroads. The Reagan bill which had been adoyted by the House was stringent on these points, and the measurg agreed on by the conference committee embraces the principal parts of both. . ! The feature upon which Judge Reagan particularly treated was that which prevents railroads from charging more for a_short haul than a long one. The: compromise - bill * provides this feature of the Reagan bill, and thus serves as an anti-diserimination law in all the other states. The prohibition of pooling provided in the Reagan bill isalso transferred to the compromise measure and thus it will serve to pre- | vent just such conspiracies as the At-torney-General is now endeavoring to break up in this state. In the main the House bill has been agreed on with the provision for a commission suggested by the Senate bill. - This may be regarded as the end of the protracted efforts of Judge Reagan to bring the corporations within the control of ‘the people. It has been an arduous struggle and any one less determined than the champion of people’s rights who had charge of it would have given up in despair long ago. But that gentleman had fixed ug;on this as the aim of his life, and his final success is a public benéfaction. It is to be hoped that. the present Congress will be equally successful in other needed and meritorious legislation. °

CARP. A correspendent of Forest and Steam, writing from Fredericksville, Virginia, has this to say on the disputed question of the qualities of the carp asa food fish: In your issue ‘before the last, you say “you will be glad to have reports ofany experience with carp as fish, to be taken with the fly, and also their edibility compared with native fish.” I have had no experience in fishing for them with the fly, but know they will take almost anything thrown in, or-on the water. I have frequently caught them with a grasshopper cast on the surface of the water, though I nsunally bait with corn or wheat bread crumbs, and can catel them as fast as the hook can be baited They afford but little sport to the anglers —a 5-pounder will surren ler aftera lunge when first hooked, and is but little more difficult to land than if he were dead. Bl

As to their edible qualities, I have heard entirely opposite opinioans,some characterizing tﬁem»’ as first class, and others declaring them unfit to eat.. I have three ponds stocked with carp,bave been raising them for four years and have been eating them freely for the past twelve months, and I consider them a most excellent and desirable fish. At least fifty friends have partaken of them at my table and all pro- ‘ nounce them excellent, the majority say they are inferior to trout and black bass, but some*declare them to be the best fish they ever ate. ~ All unite in the opinion that they are superior to perch, pike or catﬁsg or any of the native fish of this region. fv think the flavor and firmness of the carp depends greatly, if not entirely, upon the character of the water from which it is taken. My ponds are supplied by a brook of pure water and have a stream of fresh running water passing constantly in and out of them, and the fish are fed daily on corn and wheat dough. . P

Many carp ponds are made by simply collecting from the winter and early spring rains by means of a dam a hole of water. Assoon as the rain ceases tber‘e;is-nb fresh water coming in, the hole dries- until the backs of the large fish can be seen above the water, it becomes as muddy as a*hog wal low,” and is covered with a dirty green scum. If a mountain trout could live in such a mud-hole, would it be fit to eat when taken out? e

In preparing it for the table, a carp from two to five pounds and upwards should be stuffed and baked; from one to two pounds they should be fried in an abundance of fat bacon grease. My experience is ' that the leather carp is superior to the scale variety; its flesh is firmer and of fine texture. ~The number of carp ponds is rapidly increasing and in a few years almost every farmer will have one, and the larger majority who are unable fur the want of means and time to go trouting, will bless Prof. Baird for having introduced the carp, giving them an abundant supply of excellent food fish at their own doors, and worth to the people more than all that has been appropriated to the Fish Commission since its establishment.

Although the Senator had been sick for some time, and his condition for the past day or two was known to be critical, death was not looked for so soon. Every‘body hoped that with his robust constitution he would be able to recover. His case was regarded as hopeful by 'his physicians up to Friday night, but then 1t became apParent that he was sinking very rapidly. From that time on rheumatic fever affected his brain and brought on frequent periods of stupor and uncensciousness. Saturday his€ondition remained unchanged, -but 3t- was deemed so critical in the evenimg thiat Dr. Hamilton, one of his atiending physiciansaremained at his residence over niﬁght. Early in the night he grew weaker, and his entire tamily, together with General Beale and Congressmen Symes and Hall. remained by his bedside all night. At intervals during the night the Senator was conscious and seemed to rally. About midnight, during” a conscious moment, his wife leaned over him and spoke to bim. He murmured ‘**Mary,” and this was the last word that passed his lips, although he seemed%o recognize some of thiose about his bedside as late as 5 o’clock in the morning. He sank gradually. and at three minutes before 3 in the afternoon died without a struggle. 3 The deathbed scene was painfal and dramatic. General Phil Sheridan stood at the foot of the bed, with his hands clasped behind him, looking sternly and sorrowfully upon the face of his 'old comrade. Back of him was General Beale, Grant’s most intimate friend. Mrs. Logan knelt at her husband’s side, her face white and as near as possible to the color of her snow?r hair. By her side were her two children—Manning, a splendid, swarthy boy, of a pure Sganish appearance, and Mrs. Tucker. his sister, a slim, dark-eyed brunette, tearless and pale, who watched alternately her mother and her dying father. Major Tucker, her husband, stood at the General’s head. Abeut the room were other groups from the callers below, whojbhad tiptoed uﬁ to the room, which was partially darkened. It was feared that the General’s death would be painful. His heavy breathing and ,occasiopal choking made every one féar a death from suffocation. .At ten minutes after 8, amid the sound of weeping, the deep, sonorous voice of Dr. Newman was heard in prayer. As the deep voice 0f the ~pastor resounded through the great room General Logan died. Sud‘denly his painful breathing came guicker ‘and’ in great pants. Then ames, the colored servant, wished to lift him up. As he did So there was a choking rattle in the throat and a strong effort to clear it from the accumulation of mucus, but the effort was a failure. There was a stoppage of the breath, the .eyes half opened, their pupils enlarged to the full size of the ball, and -then the General fell back lifeless. Dr. Newman said solemnly: *He is gone.” Mrs, Logan became wild with grief, She fell upon the bed with her arm about her husband’s body, crying, sobbing, wailing, calling out: **Oh, darling! Oh. aarling!” Her abandonment to grief was even ‘more sorrowful than the sight of the General’s death. Mrs. Logan remained in this ¥rostrate condition so long that it was elt necessary to call her to herself. With great difflculty she was torn away from the bed. It was plain that Mrs. Logan was in an exalted mood from the intense excitement and great strain. - Finally. when ,she was persuaded to leave the room, she turned pnd said, with deiermination: *You must promise that whatever you may find necessary to do that you shall not’ cut my poor darling’s body. 1t was his wish, and it is mine that it shall not be done.” Of course Mrs. Logan’s wishes in this matter would have been law, but it was not the intention of the physician to hold a post-mortem. About two weeks ago Benator Logan was first contined to his home with rheumatism, and, later on, this was followed by rheumatic fever, affecting his brain. The fever made terrible inroads upon the patient, and ear’lg last week he was 80 reduced in fles that his friends would hardly have recognized . him. His suffering up to within a day or two was intense. gen—ator Logan complained of agonizing rheumatic §aina while he occupied his ‘seat in the Senate thie first two or three days of this session. His disease, which at first was acute inflammatory rheumatism, was not considered danerous until rheumatic fever set in. ' E‘hen his pulse ran so. high and the fever became soo intenge af times that he sank into stupors,
