Some Of the Republicans are so rash as
to claim that Logan is not only a states
man, but an orator. Maybe he is. but
nobody who has ever heard Logan make
a speech will insist that he doesn't get
lost in his sentences. When he begins a
sentence he is never certain where he is
going to end. One day this week, for in
stance. he was given a reception at Her
kimer. New York. the home of United
states Senator Miller. Logan was visit
ing Miller. At the reception he made one
of his characteristic speeches. Here is
one of the sentences of that linguistic
feat:
AS was said by my friend, Senator Mil
Ter, / came here on social visit 10 fulnll

of which it is certainly very great pleas

Crasbsn,.s Attempts at Reform.


1t Is difficult to understand what the
Postmaster General means by cutting of
the official heads Of men in the postal SER
vice who hold sinecures. Three men who
rendered no service, but who drew from
the government $500 a year, were dis
missed from the Chicago post office day
or two ago. Their places are not to be
filed. il is stated. This is very surpris-
ing. 1t also appears that one of
the dismissed slnecure holders
was a henchman Of Senator Logan.
The public offices contain plenty of men
who get big pay and who do no work. If
the Postmaster General would take the
trouble to make a further search, he
would find. doubtless, a good many more
in his department. But what is the Post
master Generals purpose? Is be trying
to make a reputation for himself during
the brief remnant of his official life, or is
he trying to do his party a good turn by
creating the impression that the holders
Of sinecures in the public service are not
tolerated by the Republican party II
the latter is his purpose, he has begun
rather late. Attempts at reform now will
not convince the country that the Repub-
Iicau party is not rotten to the core, and
that its corrupt practices will be aban-
doned if it is granted a new lease Of
power.

Finances and Taxation.

The current state expenses for the last two
years were S'4S iHi, or over $1,000 less than for
the term ending in lSS2.
Great discrepancy exists in official reports
of the aggregate court expenses of past years.
| have therefore placed in the appendix II
statement of the gross amount of these cN-
pcnSCs each year since 1873 with the chief
items of the SAME The Auditors report of
net court expenses shows that they are Sl3t,-
4Gs less than for the term ending 1875. The
saving of this sum is of less consequence than
the eradication of the evil methods in vogue
at that time. Legislation is needed to prevent
