ACCORDING to Gen. Logan, the Senate ia in
very bad way. He says about every man
has got the presidential fever, and got it bad,
that the Senate has become an organization
for the filing Of claims to the White House.
Out OF the fullness OF the heart the mouth
speaketh, and if the truth were known Logan
has the fever nigh unto death.
The whisky men, speaking for tie bank
that hold 100000 or 100000 of ware
house certificates IS lean collaterals, get no

"That seems to be the difference between the
Democratic and the Republican defaulter.
The Democrat runs away, while the Repub-
lican runs for some Office, and is very apt 10
get it. 1t is just the difference between
moral ideas and moral actions"
SENATOR BECK, says the New York World
goes on in the Senate 'conquering and tC
| conquer" like the angel with a bow and 8
crown described in the Revelation of st
John. His enemies begin TO lick the dust
as did Senator Aldrich on Ash Wednesday
What pity that Senator Beck cannot b
president! And yet if he had not been borr
! in Scotland, and so been ineligible to bs
president, he might not now be fighting mo
nopoly tooth and NALL What good thing
it would be if a great many other Demo
cratic congressman had bsen born in Scotland
The failure of Senator Ferry, OF Mich
gan, and his brother, is said to be thorough
and complete. The firm known as Ferry q
Brother has been in business for thirty
years, and last November was said 10 bs
worth from 100000 TO $500, 900, owning
property in Chicago, saw mills and pint
lands in Michigan, mining property in Utah
and large interest in the Grand Havei
| Steamboat Line. In addition to this nfs
fortune, the adjournment OF the Michigan

have destroyed altogether the senator's
chances for reelection to the position which
