A PLEASING TRIBUTE RECALLED.
From the New York Tribune. January 10,
1901

Pranced there in upon the arena of
the great debate, like trick mule in a
circus, Or u spawned nightmare upon
the track of beautiful dream-Logan,
OF Illinois. There was a vision OF
eyebrows and hairs piled
OH each other in arches; a large BRAN
dishing OF arms, pose and stridulous
war whoop; and much as though a pic
ture of the Deerfield massacre had step
ped out from the pages of our early
history. Logan took the American
senate by its large, capacious ear. And
then he went tor his mother tongue.
He smOte it right and left, hip and
thigh and showed no mercy. Swinging
the great broad axe of his logic high in
air, he turned it ere it fell and with the
hammer side struck the language of
sixty millions of people fairly in the
face and mashed it beyond recognition.
Under his stroke the floor of the Amer
ican senate was spattered with the
remnants of once proud vocabulary,
and messengers, doorkeepers and pages
the spray. In the fearful two years
which followed the first roar of his
Grafton all the parts of speech were
routed and put to flight. There were
orphaned adjectives and widowed
nouns bachelor verbs driven to polyg-
amy and polygamous verbs left lonely;
|conjnnctiOns discovered, propositions
scattered, adverbs disheveled and dis
torted and syntax flung into wild dis
order. 1t was great day for Logan.
He set his teeth into the language as
the untamed tiger of the jungles takes
between his mouth and paw the wear
ing apparel Of the waytarer, and the
rippling OF it was heard through all the
forest depths. 1t reverberated to the
other end of the capitol and sluggish
representatives lifted up their eyes and
listened to the roar with terrified awe.
Some started for the scene, but upon
being told the cause of the disturbance
in the brief communication, "Logan's
up," turned back with full assurance
that they could hear from that end Of
the capitol all that was worth hearing.
So through two hours Logan swung
his beautiful arms over the heads of the
senate like the booms of a government
derrick, while his chin churned the
language like pile driver in q heavy
sea, and the baffied reporters made
wild plunges with their pencils 10
gather up his regurgitations for the
printer,
All! Logan is great mana states
man. When he throws his intellect
into question whether it is finance or
self-government. Or of sticking 10 the
ship, something has got to come. And
you may always know where to find
him-lo-wit, where he has always been,
drawing pay from the government in
some capacity. He lacks only fifteen
or twenty things of being an orator.
He has lungs.

FROM ARAZONA.

As it has been a long time since l
have seen any letter from dear old Mis-
souri,, thought l would write one to
your worthy Circle, and ask permis-
sion for short space in your valuable
columns.
1t seem to me that the republicans
have chosen one of the strongest men
for their next president; and no doubt
the democrats will have to fight hard
and vote solid to achieve victory in
our next presidential election.
But, however, the democrats have
some noted men at the wheels. They
need good oil to apply to their ma
chinery and make it run easy. l have
all oil to propose, which il properly
applied will run the democrats ahead
with a respectable distance, which l
hope YOU will amend and correct ac-
cording to its valne. have been with
the laboring class ever since the war
ended, as a laborer and supervisor.
feel my own desire and hear theirs ex-
pressed by big and small gangs. Our
wants are all alike. There will be no
doubt the laboring class will vote solid
for the man who will advocate the
cause which reaches their prosperity
and the country's interest.
The poor labOring man once had a
home, a government and good wages i,
where he could earn respectable liv-
ing and be abe to buy home for him
self and family. But alas, where is it
now. Go to California, Colorado, New
Mexico and the Great West. What do
we find? A dirty set of Mongolians
from every point of the globe, begging
and stealing their way through our
country, working for less than half
what white man can live Oh. Go east.
There is Wall street, N. Y, and the
fast chaps reaping the fruits of the poor
mans lands which the United States OF
America put aside for actual settle
ment.
The manufacturers can be protected
and get their high prices for their ar
tcles of manufactured goods, but the
poor man who helped to save the coun-
try and, who would have to do the
fighting in case of another war, is
laid aside for future consideration.
Why is it our nominee can't come out
and have the grit to say if you will
vote for and elect me, | will do all in
my power to disfranchise all the Mon
golian races of foreign untries; and
the national banking system, and mod
lily the tariff as much as is necessary
OF course we do not want our native
colored race included in the fight o.
disfranchisement, but Cinnamon, Turks
Italians, Arabs and all such.
Yours truly, from an old Lafayetteite

TO YOUNG MEN ABOUT TO CAST
THEIR FIRST VOTE.
From the Mexico Intelligencer.


This is the season of year when fervjd
editorials are being addressed to "rea-
sonable young men" about to cast their
first vote. Young men should look at
the history Of things. Is is not true
that long use of power leads to its
abuse? The new voter has before him
long career. lie need be in no hurry
to permanently attach himself to
political party. He should first satisfy
himself that the party of his choice is
cemeuted by principle and not held to-
gether by spoils. Ii Young man sym
pathizes with the republican party, he
should remember that its primoidal
purposes We're long ago established;
that it was organized for a purpose and
he should satisfy himself whether the
party is living upon the credit of its
accomplished acts, or whether its pri,I-
ciples are of such paramount applica-
ton and necessity to the peace and
prosperity of the country as to insure
its existence out of power. The way
to determine this question is to defeat
the party in one presidential campaign
and see if its principles are strong
enough to hold together and rally tn
victory in another fight. Political
courage and heroism have no place in
a party that cannot depend upon prin-
ciple and honest methods for success.
Since its organization the democratic
party has shown a strong hold upon
the sympathies of the people. A glance
at its vote in every presidential contest
demonstrates this and the figures ad-
dress themselves to the reason Of ''rca-
sOnable young men,"

POWELL OLAYTON's EMPTY SLEEVE
From the N. Y, Herald. ]

The impudent endeavor of the Blaine
men to impose Mr.. Powell Clayton's
empty sleeve upon the sympathy of the
four hundred and twenty nine old
soldier delegates at Chicago as the
badge of a wound gained in fighting
tor his country was silly trick.
Clayton, Pennsylvania, went
through the civil war unscathed in
body, and at it's close squatted in Ar
kansas, which had been the scene OF
his exploits in command of a regiment
Of Kansas troopers who got the name
of .jayhawkcrs." In 1886 he was
elected carpet-bag governor, and in
1856? he declared martial law al over
the state and raised a negro militia to
enforce it, who copied the example of
his ''jayhawkers" so faithfully that
there would not have been much per
sonal property left there if he had not
disbanded them. 1t was about this
time that he shot himself in the arm,
while he was out cunning for rabbits,
and lost the limb by amputation.
The Arkansas legislature impeached
him in year or two; but he evaded
the impeachment and even got himself
elected carpet-bag senator. His title
to the seat was disputed at Washington
upon charges that he had secured his
election by "corrupt bargains" but the
majority of the committee OF investi-
cation reported that they were not con
clusively proven. Since the end of his
senatorial term his only prominent pub
lie appearance was in July, 1882, when
he made speech about what he called
"the true republican policy" which, he
said, was "to take for platform the
present and the future, and let the dead
past bury its dead" and we have no
doubt that he meant what he said, fol
there was very little in his own pas
which he should not have been glad tt
bury if he could.
But, although he has been living
quietly for several years in ''Thieves
Row" at Little Rock, the complaints o
the Arthur managers about his treach-
cry to them disclose the fact that hi
never has lost sight of 'the matt
chance" Among the offices specific
in "nr Chicago dispatches as now Ell
ioyed by his dependents in Arkansas i
is mentioned that his brother is TIM
federal district attorney, 4 brOtheri in
law is collector of internal revenue an,
a former business partner is pOstmas
ter. And yet there are northern re-
publicans who persist in wondering
why the south continues sOlidly demo
cratic.

the removal of the vertical row of fig

be denoted by tearing off three coupons
