Logan and the President.

NOW YOfk World,
The report that Senator Logan wants to put
Mr.. A. @. Matthews, Of Illinois, into the whisky
bureau is enough TO kill that gentleman's
chances deader than anybody In the Congress
tional Cemetery. Senator Logan's day for
getting places for his friends is over; the
President Arthur not only does not like sena-
tor Logan, but he particularly objects 70 Sena
tor Iogans friends. 1t is said there Is a ''cool-
ness" between the President and the senior
Senator from Illinois. Well, there never was
anything else. The President gave Illinois
what he thought the State deserved in the
way OF Federal appointments, and treated
Senator Logans Wishes with the same respect
he treated Senator Harris or Senator Dawes,
or Senator anybody else. That was all.

The St. Petersburg Herald relates
that recently in South Russian village
peasant was accused of theft. The
culprit kept out of the way, but sent an
advocate to plead his cause before the
local judicial magistrate. The lawyer
employed all his eloquence to convince
the Judge that his client was innocent,
but his clever appeal had no effect upon
the magistrate. who knew the accused
and had probably condemned him be-
fore he heard the details of the case.
He gave the sentence-five and twenty
blows with rod. The village Solomon
was informed that the criminal could
not be found. s'Never mind,n he OBJ
served. Justice must have its course.
As the criminal is not in our hands, we
decree that his advocate shall receive
the logging. The man who has the
face to defend such . rascal deserves to
be punished. The luckless lawyer in
balm protested against the illegality,
absurdity and utter injustice Of the
monstrous sentence. The loss of his
time and his fees, he contended, would
be quite sufficient punishment. But the
stiff old Russian Solomon was inexor-
able. and the lawyer was actually
seized. bound and received the twenty
five strokes Is the representative Of the
