The Two LOgans.

John A. Logan. candidate for Vice.
President. processes to be the special
friend and champion of the cOiored
people, and the Memphis appeal has
taken the trouble to hunt up his record.
The result will be somewhat surprising
to the colored voters that he now courts
and tlatters. and the colored man who
studies it will be apt to hesitate before
giving this arch demagogue and time
server his support.
Logan voted in 1913 for a constitu-
tional provision prohibiting any negro
or mulatto from settling in the State of
Illinois. He also voted in favor of a
constitutional provision to exclude me-
groes from thesgight of suffrage or the
right to hold q Ice. But this is not all.
Logan was a member of the Illinois
Legislature in 1858, and as member
of the Judiciary Committee, he report
ed the following bill:
If a negro or mulatto. bond or free. shall
hereafter come'into this State and remain
ten days with the evident intention of resid.
sha be deemed guilty of a high mIsdemean.
or. and for the first odense shall be fined the
sum of fifty dollars. If such negro or mulatto
shall be found guilty, and the fine assessed be
not paid forthwith to the Justice of the Peace
before whom the proceedings were had. il
said negro or mulatto to the custody of the
Sheriff. or otherwise keep him, her or them in
custody: and said Justice shall forthwith ad-
yertise said negr, or mulatto, and on the day
and at the time and place mentioned in said
advertisement the said Justice shall, at pub.
lie auction, proceed to sell said negro or mu-
latto to any person or persons, who will pay
such fine and costs for the shortest time: and
said purchaser shall have the right to compel
out said time. If said negro or mulatto shall
not within ten days after the expiration OF
leave the state, he, she or they shall be liza.
bic to q second prosecution, in which the pen
atty to be inflicted shall be one hundred dol
the penalty shall be increased fifty dollars
over and above the last penalty.
He drew up his bill; he reported it to
the House, and he advocated it on the
floor. 1t was his bill and it became a
law. and remained a law until 1865.
The records of the Ill nois Legislature
establish all that we have stated 1t is
therein printed that Logan was before
the war the most bitter and unscrupu-
lous enemy of the colored race that
could be found in the country. He hes
itated at nothing. If a colored man
came into the free State of Illinois he
wanted him sold into slavery if he
could not pay series of heavy fines.
The most cruel apd arbitrary measures
were the measures he preferred in the
cases of negroes or mulattoes found in
the State. And this man is John A.
Logan. 1t is the same man that is now
seeking the votes of colored men, on
the ground that he has been their best
and truest friend. The bare truth is
he is the same Logan at heart that he
was in 1858, and if he was in earnest
then he Is a hvpocrite now. The print
ed records of the Illinois Legislature
leave no doubt of his desire at that
time to prosecute any colored man that
came within the bounds of the State
.dtiauta Constitution.

The Cost Of Coal.

The cost of coal IS rarely dreamed of
lin life, in labor and in money. The
cost is incre asing in some degree, even
with the improved machinery; but it is
gratifying to know that. ton for ten,
coal causes. from decade to decade, the
loss of fewer lives. occasionally the
public is startled by som" great ex-
ploson that engulfs its scores of miners,
and in that year the loss of life thus
and in the single fatalities is great; but
it does not over period advance, and
as the tonnage of coal raised is en-
lareed early, the loss of life in pro-
portion to the coal gained is less In
the past few years the loss of life in
the m mes registered under the Coal
Mines act in oreat Britain and Ire
land has been over 1000 yearly, but
these mines include iron mines in GER
tain instances, and the loss of life in
the coal mines may be put at 1000
yearly. A quarter of these are often
caused by explosions, and nearly one
half mo are lives lost by falls in the
mines, falls of the roofs" ct. Of
the remainder the largest portion are
lost in the mines, in ascend ng or de-
scending the shaft, and on the inclined
planes, and by the trains Underground
the number lost on the surface beng
comparatively small. About 156, 500
90, tons of coal are raised out of the
mines, in addition to iireclay, etc.. and
this is the return that is gwen for that
loss. Roughly speaking. for every
ly6. 800 tons of coal that we raise from
our mines. one life is lost by accident,
and there is an amount of non-fatal ac-
cIdents that can not be tabulated. But
that cost OF life is the toll that the mines
ta6e yearly. and there is an additional
ost OF LIST limbs and of manning and
of bod ly pain.-Casse<fs Family 1Haga.

Some Of the Corruptions.

TO say that the nomination of James
G.. Blaine is a disappointment to the
conservative element of the Republican
party is giving but a temperate express
sion to the sentiment of bitter discom-
future which prevades that numerous
and influential class of men who prefer
pure methods. and in places of distin-
e1lished trust, great statesmen to elevate
pretenders. In the past the dominant
element of the party has played its part
deftly. With the regularity of the sea-
sons of election it has put on the robes
of decency and bowed down ut the
shrine of reform. In its conventional
declarations it has swallow all the
rood and wise things that its moral
sponsors so innocently and sincerely
prescribed, and entered the gates of
victory only to cast off it's sanity robes
and reveI in open-handed iniquity. At
no period in our history has there been
exposed such a mass of corruption per-
vading every department of the public
service, as has from time to time been
brought to light within the past two
decades. Wherever an investigation has
been ordered, fresh discoveries of errors
in accounts of maifeasance in office have
been detected. 1t was found that the
books of the Treasury would not bal
ance by many millions of dollars, and
a balance had ultimately to be
forced to cover up deficiencies or
mistakes The chief members of the
whisky ring were in the confidence of
officers of the Government, and shared
with them, it was openly charged, the
profits resulting from their illicit prac-
ices. Large sums of money were
made by "inside parties" in Indian
contracts, and one officer who went into
the business poor. came out of it n mill
ionaire. It has been estimated by the
counsel for the Government that the
Treasury was robbed of four millions of
dollars by the star-route frauds. in
which a high officer of the Post
Office Department was implicated. With
others the Government compromised on
the basis of the return of a small part
off their plumber, while many escaped
scott-free with their ill-gottcn gains.
For Years the Republican Congress was
hesieged by an insatiate lobby. The
sum spent on getting subsidy for the
Pacific Mail Steamship line alone was
en- large, and so lavlshly distributed.

Extract from Missouri Republican, July s, lSS4.]
TRADEMARK DECISION - NJUNC-
TION REFUSED.

The suit of John H. Zeilin & Co., of Philadel-
phia, against Charles F. Simmons of st. Louis
pending in the Circuit Court of the uAited
States for the Eastern District of Missouri
came up on Yesterday before Hon. Samuel
Treat one of the Judges of said Court on the
application of the complainantS for an in
junction. It was claimed in the bill of COM
plainants that they were the owners, proprie-
tors and manufacturers of what is known as
DIR. A. Q. Simmons Liver Regulator and
that the defendant was manufacturing and
selling a medicine in imitation of theirs, called
DIR. M. A. Simmons Vegetable Liver Medi-
cine," and was infringing the trademark of
compliments in the kind and character of the
packages and wrappers used. For these rea-
sons an Injunction was asked The defendant
in his answer showed that DR.. NJ A Simmons,
his predecessor and assignor, bad been manu-
featuring and selling the Liver Medicine"
since the year 1s40, and that If there was any
interference or infringement on the part of
either, it was the complainants who had in
fringed the defendant and not the defendant
who had infringed the compliments.
The court, after hearing the bill and answer
read and after personal inspection or the
packages fled as exhibits in the case. aud
without hearing a single affidavit read IN the
case, very promptly disposed of the complain
ants application in these words II fefuse the
injunction ANY tcfo can't tell the difference
bet,ceen these packages must be ucry blind. This
was considered a very great victory for the
defendant as it practically disposes OF the case
in his favor by Judge Treat of tins district.
NJ. Z. Gray and John Ii. Chandler appeared for
the compialnants Phillips IL Stewart, and
Dyer, Lee Il Ellis for defendant.

A Good Deal OF Guess Work, But

The wisest political prophets confessed
this morning that they knew nothing as to

the Treasury portfolio.
General Gresham is far from being out

ones. "He was rendered and declined the
position, and is now being urged to accept
it, This would make Mr.. Hatton Post
master. General of course. The President
can promote Hatton in that way, though
1t would seem inconsistent to pass over Mr..
Coon, an equally efficient and much more
popular man. If Gresham is appointed he
will probably leave the Department virtu-
ally under Mr.. Coon's control. He Is try
ing:t to hold onto Cabinet position and
keep 3 judgeship waiting while he finds
out whether he can come to the Senate or
not.

theory is that a New York man is to DO APP

There Is no good reason, however, for
believingsthat the President will sacrifice

for the appointment Of Mr.. Coon.
