-Hii,caukee Sentinel. A cores
pendent calls attention to the an.
parent lack in the legislation of the
state respecting the insane. While
it provides for their maintenance in
hospitals, there is apparently no pro.
vision for searching for and bring.
ing back those who may escape
from the hospitals. Such escapes
will occasionally happen, and ii is
not always the case That there are
friends who are able or willing to
look up and return the fugitives.
They are sometimes dangerous when
at large, and are liable 10 perish
from hunger on exposure. There is
an obvious propriety in having the
duty imposed upon somebody to as.
sure their capture and restoration "a
the hospital from which they have
escaped.

pears to have originated in the fact
that the striking telegraph opera

1t proved to be an unfortunate selec-

over the wires were heard by people
for whose ears they were not intend

abroad that the great General was
dead. This created a depressed
feeling, and but for the fact that it
could not be traced to a reliable
source would have produced much
dependency. Upon reliable assur-

prehension gave way to Indignation.

The composition of Speaker Carlisle s
committees indicates that the leading
features of the present session will be
revenue reform, strict economy in the
| appropriations and at least an attempt to
restore to the public domain the forfeited
railroad land grants The selection of Mr..
Randall as chairman of the appropriations
committee signifies that no grants of
money will be allowed not absolutely nee
essary to conduct the government.
In this reseect the frugality of the present
house will present a marked contrast to
the rlotous extravaganza of the last con-
gress, which cannot fail to have a good
effect upon hesitating voters in the next
presidential campaign. Mr.. Cobb, the
head OF the committee on public lands, is
also well known advocate of the policv
OF declaring forfeited all grants of land
to railroads, where the conditions of the
grant have not been complied with.
This would bring a vast quantity of
the best agricultural land under the
provisions of the homestead act, The
gift OF so great portion of the pub
hc domain to corporations was a crime in
the first place, and every day these rail-
road companies have been allowed to
retain the land without having complied
with the provisions of the grant, has in
creased the criminal negligence of the
government
The selection of Mr.. Morrison as chair
man of the committee on ways and means
will be heartily endorsed by the west,
although it may add to the anguish under
which the eastern monopolists have
labored since the election of Carlisle. I'll
means that an immediate effort will be
made to lop off portion of the superflu-
Gus revenue, which offers a standing
temptation to lobbyists and corrupt con-,l
gressmen. II also means that whatever |
reduction there is, will be effected by |
cutting down the taxes on the necessaries |
Of life and not on whisky and tobacco. |

Logan.
New York Sun.

| We chronicle the positive fact thai
events are bringing to the front as a can
dldate for the republican nomination foI
president the rather picturesque figure OF
John Alexander Logan 1t is easy to
underrate Logan. He is very much in
| earnest, or manages to seem so. He is
strong with the soldiers He has an
amazing voice and not too much sense of
| humor. he is an adept IN the broader
arts of political manipulation He has
friends, which is good thing, and
enemies, which is also point in his favor.
He has very smart wife, and his name
rhymes with slogan.
A prominent republican politician lie
Chicago, who probably must be classed
with the senator's enemies, said of him
not long ago: He couldn't carry his
own ward, his own town, his own con-
gress district, or indeed. any part of
Chicago or Cook county if he were run
ming for constable" But we have no
information that Gen. Logan is running
for constable. He is after the republican
nomination for president. 1t doesn't
make the least difference whether he is
able or unable to carry his own ward, his
own town. and his own congress district,
provided he can induce four hundred and
fifteen delegates from any part of the
country to vote for him in the convention.
just now it is reported that Gen Logan
has succeeded in fastening to himself the
valuable friendship of Mr.. James G,
Blaine, There is a service which Mr..
Blaine, as an expert in historical investi-
CATION, can render to Gen. Logan.
Although several BIOGRAPHIES of the
senator from Illinois have been written,
one epoch of his distinguished career is
still involved in darkness. When the war
of the rebellion broke out, when Mr..
Blaine himself promptly sent a substitute
to the front, and turned his energies to
the task of supplying the Union army with
seven shooter rifles Logan also unsheath-
ed his sword. At the head oil small
band of chosen followers, and with mil
itary commission in his pocket, he took
position in the neighborhood of Cairo,
Illinois, and awaited the beginning of
actual hostilities. The question that is
still to be settled to the satisfaction of
some of Gen Logan's admirers is whether
the warriors original commission attach
ed him to the Federal service, or proceed
ed from Confederate Government. Did
Logan start in on the Northern or on the
southern side2
Everybody knows where the swarthy
and dashing commander fought during
the war, and where he continued to fight
long after the war was over. But this
period of perhaps month at the begin
ming of the contest presents an interesting
field of research to so patient, impartial,
able, and enthusiastic an historian as Mr..
Blaine of Augusta.

COLD WEATHER.

Fifty-I1fght Degrees Below Zero-A Tru-
 Iy Genuine Taste of the eArct1c-Intense
 Cold Throughout the Northwest-A
 Sudden Drop of Sixty Degrees.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The winter of 1SS2.3 has already immortalized itself for quality and quantity of below zero weather. The mercury in Chicago has ranged ten degrees below during the past thirty six hours and respectable thermometers throughout the Northwest have made most eccentric gyra- tions Owing to the high winds and heavy snow drifts there has been a partial suspen- sion of railway traffic in many States. De- spatches from almost every point in the Northwest report the thermometer in many places reaching thirty degrees below zero last night. At Regina N. W. T., the mer- cury registers fifty eight below and the worst storm ever experienced is raging throughout the entire territory. Many severe and @ few fatal cases of freezing have occurred. At Sioux Falls, Dakota, the mercury remained stationary all yester- day at twenty-five below zero. Trains were abandoned on the several roads entering the city. The weather along the line of the Central Pacific railroad in Nevada is intensely cold. At Elko the spirit thermometer indi- cated thirty six below. Ponds and wells are frozen solid. Dispatches from Koko- mo, Colorado, showed the thermometer last night was ffty-ehree degrees below with no indication of moderating At Leadville the temperature was forty de- grees below. The severity of the blizzard in the Southwest continues with intensity. At Atchison, Kansas, all outdoor business is dropped. Many factories have shut down and all railroad trains have been abandoned as the drifts are deep and numerous. The Burlington and Missouri and Nebraska rail road is blockaded with snow. Many trains are abandoned Five freight trains are showed in between Falls City and Pallion, and as they carry live stock the loss will be heavy.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-A despatch to night from Rockford, Ills, says The weather in this section is the coldest known for g quar- ter of century. The mercury has dropped to forty below zero. At Beloit, Wis, a sim liar condition of things prevails, the ther- moneter running down to thirty-two below. All trains delayed from four to seven hours. All through central Illinois the weather has changed sixty degrees in ten hours.

North Church-Rev. $. H. Dana-Hospt. tai Collection.
 Rev. $. H. Dana preached at the morning service of the North church, from the text I. Cor. xiii, verses fourth to the seventh Attention was called to the implied crosses and burdens of life in the Apostles definition of Christian love- s'Suffereth long-rejoicetE not in iniquity-beareth all things-endurett all things" This recognition of diversity, the speaker said, does not show that happi. ness and joy are not in a loving Christian life but that love gives peace and happiness in believing, by it's uplift into 8 higher life' than that of sinful soul. He enumerated the chief ills and burdens of life which em- bitter the existence of the ungodly, impeni- tent and unregenerate, and demonstrated that the true believer in Christ only felt them as trials, whose very endurance turned each and all of them into victories This is gain in the assurance of hap piness eternal as taught in Gods word. The distinction between christening and pun ishment was clearly set forth by scripture quotation from the chapter containing the text, and the teaching of both the Old and New Testaments. The positive part of the definition of Christian love, the great gain and overcoming power was dwelt upon in the remainder of the sermon. Indeed, this view of the subject formed it's chief lesson. Faith and hope, though filling an important part of Christian character. need the higher and most important action and sanction of Chris tian love- The loud, clear voice of the speaker made every word heard dis tinctly, and thus added to the interest very much.
 The pastor, Dr. Hawes, conducted the ser vice except the sermon and prayer preceding it, reading the notices for the week. The annual meeting of the church was held in the evening. The society meeting takes place this evening.
 The hospital collection amounted to $40. The attendance was not full.

part in plot to assassinate juror. He swore that enc of the prisoners, named Han- lon informed him that he had taken part in the attempt to murder Field 1; that Brady stabbed Field and that Kelly also participated in the affair. Farrell also testi- fled that three pence weekly was contributed by each Fenian to purchase arms; that the city had been marked into districts and military inspections were held occasionally, at which most of the accused were present. The organization, he said. had existed for some years Farrell said picked men formed an assassination committee. They were ignorant of each other. Daniel Curley gave him (FarrelD @ revolver and told him to stop Mir. Forster's carriage opposite Ellis Quay, when Jim Kelly and Joe Brady would do the remainder. The plot failed through 8 n istake. Farrell identi- fled Kelly, Brady, Curley, Maloney, Dwyer and Boyle, all of whom were present in the prison ers' dock, as having been present on Ellis Quay when the abortive attempt was made to way lay MT. Forster. Curley was very much vexed at the failure. Farrell said that Brady, Kelly and Rankin, the last of whom is now in Limerick, followed Mir. Forsters carriage in cab on another occasion, and that MacMahon, who was lately accidentally shot, was assisting by watching on foot. At the conclusion of the examination of he twenty one persons charged with conspiracy to murder government officials, yesterday, the prisoners were remanded for a week. It is believed that at last dozen government officials were marked for assassination and spotted by the men told of for the work by the special assassination committee. Farrell, the informer, was closely guarded by the po- lice when he left the court.
