Washington Letter: Gen. Logan's little
grandson, Logan Tucker, is one Of those
odd, wise little children who ara always
surprising their elders with some unfore-
seen speech. This five-year-old mite
was perched Oh the knees of one of Gen.
Logan's friends the other day, and the
gentleman, producing shiny new nickel,
made the youngsters black eyes dance.
The little fellow looked over at his ma,
who shook her head and signaled for him
not to take the gift, and then glanced at
his grandfather, who gave him = stern
look and another meaning nod. The
Logan blood rose in the little namesake
then, and grasping the new coin the
harder he put up his head and said, in
tone of argument and entreaty: "Why,
grandpa, hedou't want any Office" The
small boy won the case that time, and
the little group was convulsed at this in
nocent proof Of the way iniquity under
lies everything in this political city.

As surmised yesterday the situation in
the flooded districts grows more serious.
At Cincinnati the water is four feet
higher than last year, and is steadily
rising under the influence of constant
rains. The city is destitute of gas, and
it's water supply is 50 low that a serious
fire would probably exhaust it. The
citizens are making every effort to re-
lieve the wants of the destitute. At
Wheeling the rain is still falling, but the
flood recedes somewhat. Farther to
the south grave fears begin to be en-
tertained of disastrous visit of the del

Young Legislators.

! When the article IN the constitution
containing the clause which makes man
who has reached the age Of twenty-one
years eligible to membership in the
House of'Representatives Of the Legisla'
ture Of Montana, came up on its final
passage, Mr.. Fergus, Of Meagher, the
Oldest member of the convention, arose

the age. But they are not always found
among our youth. nor the opposite. in
old age. There is happy medium be-
tween the cradle and the grave. Old
age is conservative, and it is well it is so.
The failures and buffetings We encounter
through life nave a tendency TO chasten
and subdue the impetuosities Of our
youth. So that we seldom repeat the
errors, the failures, or the follies of our
younger years. Boys are not entrusted
with the management of governments or
| great affairs of state. They are not put in
! charge of our armies and navies-our
great railroad and steamboat enterprises
! They are not even entrusted with driv-
ing our locomotives or any other trust
requiring experience and a mature brain.
Then sir, why should our young men.
the moment they cease to be infants in
law, become qualified to make laws for
us?
Old, nneducated, rude as my frontier
associations, and denied by nature and

but l think they might have committed

Of the gentleman himself don't think
he will say he knew as much at twenty
one as he does now. If he did, sir. then
experience with him is failure.
1t takes our young men until the age
of twenty-one to get good college edu-
cation. Under this section as it now
stands, with only few months expert
ence and with probably nothing to re-
commend him but this education, he
may become law maker; and many Of
us have seen young men just out of col
lcge that had hardly sense enough to
take care of themselves. A young man
with an education and nothing else is
one of the poorest and most helpless
beings on the face Of the earth.
Mr. President, am aware that other
states allow young men to become legis-
lators at the age mentioned in this Sec
ton, but there is just little too much

the bill providing that letter-carriers be
employed in every city containing 5O,-
600 inhabitants and may be employed at
places containing not less than 1900 and
producing gross postal revenue of at
least $1,000 per annum. The committee
also agreed to report substitute for the
bill to secure the speedy delivery Of let
ters.
1t provides for the issue of special
stamps to cost ten cents each, which
when affixed to letters will insure their
immediate delivery at any free delivery
Office between the hours Of a. m. and
u midnight. 1t allows. postmasters OF
such cities to pay not more than 80 per
cent. of the value of such special stamps
to persons who deliver such lettes, but
no one person shall receive more than
$50 per month for such service.
A favorable report was also decided
upon on the bill to provide for the de-
post in the treasury Of receipts Of the

of its expenses out Of appropriations.
A telegram from Washington says -
Judge Drummond, circuit judge of the
State of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana,
will he entitled to retirement during the
present calendar year. A prominent In
diana politician who has held high office
in the state, SAID to your correspondent
tonight that Postmaster-General Gres-
ham was making strong effort to secure
the succession to Judge Drummond, and
had great success in case he failed to re-
ceive thu nomination for the vice-presi-
dency. He said that none Of the repre-
sentatives or senators in congress, nor
any other prominent men in the Repub-
lican party Of Indiana, SO far as he had
been able to ascertain, had recommend
ed him for the cabinet position, which
he now holds. He said that it was the
general impression that President Ar
thur had selected him for place in
order to head off the movement, when
at that time had begun to assume formi'
dable proportions, to instruct the Indiana
delegate to the national Republican con;
vention to press Senator Harrison as a
candidate for the presidency. The ap-
pointment has accomplished its purpose
in 80 far that the Indiana delegation
would go to the national convention un'
trammeled by any instructions. In re-
ply to question in what Mr.. Gresham's
strength consisted, he said he did moi
know and had been unable to ascertain
The gentleman who gave the informa'
ton in regard to Mr.. Gresham's desire
to succeed Judge Drummond sal l that II
was not probable that the appointment
of Mr.. Gresham would be made until
after the meeting Of the National Repub
lican convention, for the reason that ii
he were now to be withdrawn from thu
field of political activity, it would be ex
tremely probable that the Indiana dele
cation to the national convention woult
be instructed in behalf of Senator Harri
son as candidate for the presidency
which would very seriously interfer'
with the programme which Mr.. Arthur
has in his mind.
