We look upon General Logan's propo.
sition to donate public lands to the ex-
soldiers of the war as Just measure.
Every soldier who served term of one,
two or three years earned farm. Aside
from the dangers and hardships encoun-
tered, he actually earned itin days work,
above his meagre pay and emoluments.
There is therefore no sentiment about
the proposition no purpose to reward
heroism or patriotism-but simple
payment for muscular labor performed
for the government. There are thous-
ands of men who devoted the best years
of their lives to military service during
the war-years which contained for them
the golden opportunity, lost during
those years never to return. They are
consequently poor to-day, when they
might have been in comfortable clreum-
stances. That portion of the public do
main which has already passed into the
possession of non-produc,lves SPECTATORS
with very little pecupiary benefit to the
government, would almost suffice to sup
ply the soldier element under the provi.
sions Of General Logan's bill and il
would have fallen into more worthy
hands. General Logan will be CRATE
fully remembered for his action in this
matter, whether he succeeds or fails.
