LOGAN's STATEsMANsEi1P.
What Was Said Of ssEslaclI
IBacE'' ia 1875.

From the New York Tribune, the only
New York Daily Supporting
Blaine and Logan.
Pranced therein upon the arena of
the great debate, like a trick mule in
a circus, or a spawned nightmare on
the track Of beautiful. drcam-Lo-
gan OF Illinois. There was q vision
Of m~ustaches, eyebrows and lair
piled on each other in arches; a large
brandisling of arms, q post and sfrid-
ulous war-whoop, and much assthough
a picture of The Deeriield massacre
had stepped out from the pages of four
early history. Logan took the Ameri-
can Scntac by its large, capacions ear.
And then he went for his mother
tongue. He smote it right and left,
hip and thigh, and showed ~noanercy.
Swinging tie great broad axefof his,
logic high in the dill, he turned it ere
it fell, and with The hammer side
struck the language of 6G,000.000 of
people fairly in the face and smashed
it beyond recognition. Under his
stoke the floor of the American Sen
ate was spaltered with the remnant of
a once proud vocabulary, and messen-
gers, doorkeepers and pages were
covered from head 10 foot with the
spray. In the fearful two hours which
followed the first roar of his. Grafton
all the parts OF speech were. routed
and put to flight. There were orphan
ed adjectives and widowed nouns i;
bachelor verbs driven 10 polygamy
and polygamous verbs Jeff alone con-
~jective discovered, propositions scat
tered, adverbs disleveled and distor-
ted and syntax flung into wild dis
order. 1t was q great day for Logan.
JIe set his teeth into the Language
as the unnamed lion of the Jungle
takes between his mouth the w caring
apparel of the wayfarer, and the rip
ping of it was heard through all the
forest depths. 1t revcrberated 10 the
other end ofthe Capital, and Sluggish
Representatives lifted up their eyes
and listened 10 the roar with terrified
awe. Some started for the scene, but
being told the cause ofthe disturbance
in the brief communion, "Logan's
up," turned back with full assurance
that they could hear from that end of
the Capital all that was worth hear
ing. So through two hours Logan
swung his beautiful arms over the
heads CT the Senate like the brooms
of a Government derrick, while his
chin churned the language like a pile
driver in a heavy sea, and the bat1ed
reporters made wild plunges with
their pencils to gather up his regnrgi-
tations forthe printer.
All! Logan is a great mana
statesman. When he throws his in
tellect into a question. whether it is
of finances or self-government, or of
sticking TO the ship, something has
got TO come. And you may always
know where to find him-to-wit,
where he has always been, drawing
pay from the Government in some
capacity. He lacks only fifteen OF
twenty things of being al orator. He
has lungs.

Every man in this country, what
ever his condition, should have the
right to express his opinions upon
any subject, and cast an untrammel-
led vote into the ballot-box! When
eve men are prescribed for opinions
sake, or coerced into voting contrary
to .heir views, those who so control
ballots are tyrants, and the coerced
slaues! The ballot-box is the natu-
raj protector Of the toiling masses,
but when the millions permit the few
to carry elections, the guaranty of
popular liberty becomes the means
of riveting chains upon the people.
The party whose policy and princi,
pies look only to the interests of a
favored few should not receive the
support of the many, and legislation
sht uld be SO framed as to guarantee
the greatest good to the greatest
number, and dispense the blessings
of government like the dews of heav.
en-, equally upon all, the rich and the
poor, tic capitalist and laborer!I
When men regard country as above
party, and the interests of theil
neighbors as worthy consideration.
an era of good feeling and prosperity
will be inaugurated which will bless
all the people. When intelligence
ranks with wealth in the estimation
of society and p~artyism is subservi
ent TO patriotism, the people will
elect honest officials, and just legis
~lation will prevent conflicts between
capital and labor. Let every mai
vote for such a desirable condition O
affairs in our country.

The Baptist Weekly has a special
sphere. Its aim is to give all who
read its pages religions news, and to
discuss such topics as are adapted
to enlarge the range Of Christian in
telligence and develop and direct the
Christian activities of the churches.
Moral questions as affecting politi-
cal movements also come within the
legitimate province of religious
journalism. On this ground we have

We notice that all the republican
papers, big and little, which support
Blaine are industriously engaged in
proving-or rather trying to prove
that he is a man of pure character
and unblemished record. But the
very fact that they are compelled to
devote so much of their space to this
work, is of itself conclusive proof of
the charges brought against the re
publican candidate by the other re-
publican papers.

New York San: The fact that
Gen. Neal BOWS faith in Brother
Blaine's prohibitory principles has
led the father of the Maine Law to
bolt the nomination of the Prohibi
tion party will interest the German
Republicans of Ohio, Indiana, and
New York. They will wait with some
anxiety for Brother Blaine's denial
that he is SO good a prohibitionist
as Gen. Neal Dow thinks.

There have within the past two
months been failures in Wall street
with liabilities aggregating fifty mil
lions of dollars. The effect has been
scarcely noticeable upon the con-

the man who stakes his money on
the wrong card at a gambling table.

The revolt of the independent Re-

The Republicans are endeavoring

The Republicans are endeayoring
to make it out that the independent
papers now opposing Blame do so
because they want a free trade Pres
ident. They forgot to state that in
1880 every one Of thesejournals then
in existence supported James A.
Garfield, although the protectiopists
in the Republican party tried to
make out that Hancock was q free
trader.

There is one thing to be said about
the Republican platform that is graf
flying. It affords ample evidence
that the party is largely aware of its

The Springfield Republican, known
throughout the land as one Of the
ablest and most influential Republi
can papers in the country, has this
to say concerning the selections OF
i s party:
"The nomination ofBlaine and Lo-
gan is more hateful to Massachusetts,
than to any other Republican State,
and promises the greatest embarrass
ments here. This antagonism long
antedates Mr.. Blaine's attack on
Massachusetts,, when he presented to
the Hall of Statuary the statae aal
Governor King, of'NIaine, although
the animus and b~aselessness of that
attack was much resented at the
time. Mr.. Blaine has been too ezra
tic and demagogic in his political
history to please Massachusetts, and
the cloud upon his integrity has won
him the steady antagonism of tho
State for three Presidential coaven
tions. Mr.. Blaine opposed the force
bill in Congress, but subsequently
took "stalwart" position toward;
the South, and had a wordy battle
with Ben Hill. He has opposed ciyi.
service reform when Massachusetts
was laboriny for it, and he shows nc
disposition to. modify the tarif OF re
duce evenue to day, although Mas
sachusetts is ready for that step. He
is a practical politician of small scru
pie, while the Republican party o
Massachusetts is not ashamed tt
avow some regard for principle and
far-manhood and high qualities o
craftsmanship"

The religious press of the country
has heretofore generally been on the
side of the Republicans; but this
year it has j ined the independent
revolt. This leads us to suspect that
the 6. o. p. is no longer on the Lords
side.

The Republican platform is a
acknowledgment of the RepubIi.
can party for its misdeeds, and is
full of promises only to be broken as
in times past.

Some Republican cranks talk about
Blaine carrying North Carolina,
West Virginia and Florida. Nothing

The revolt against Blaine is not
like a mob lacking organization. On
the contrary it has wise leaders, and
must grow stronger aud stronger as
election day approaches and Blaine's
f1imsy record and official character
is more closely scrutinized by the
public.

The Ohio Democratic platform is
in harmony with the declaration Of
the party during the past three years,
and the tariff plank which has been
virtually adopted by several leading
States, doubtless embodies a declara-

A California Mirage.

According to the San Francisco Coll,
visitors to the Cliff House on q recent
afternoon were repaid by clear
view of the North Farallon, which
from the Cliff House point OF
view, is absolutely below the horizon.
The clearly defined i height. e, sssSea &c
though they were within dozen miles
OF shore, were at first thought to be the
saildraped masts of some ocean ship,
and when they were identified as the
cliffs of the North Farallon, there was
great interest displayed by the resi-
dents and visitors at the Cliff House.
In addition to the well worn marine
glasses, telescope was brought into
use, and the unusual sight OF islands
known to be below the line Of the heri-
zon. but plainly pictured In the mist
producing mirage, was regarded with
intense interest. The effect, Just be-
fore the setting Of the sun, was as
though far out in the ocean some tut
ting rocks had been utilized for the
building Of gracefully outlined castles,
and when the light disappeared in the
cloudless western horizon, and with 1t
the beautiful mirage, the effect was as
though the observers had been gazing
on "castles in the air." So clear was
the atmosphere that the South Faral-
lon, with its light house tower clearly
discernible, was seen as long as the al.
ready set sun left golden streak OF
light in the west. The whole effect
was beautiful in the extreme, and so
rare that it held enchanted every one
who CHANGED to be where it could be
seen, until darkness came and hid all
view of the ocean. 81
