LOGAN AND SEWELL.
The Latter Will Retain the Craftsmanship OF

The Latter Will Retain the Craftsmanship Of
the Senate Military Committee.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Republican senators
who are well posted on the subject say that the
talk about Mr.. Sewell, Of New Jersey. yielding
up the craftsmanship of the committee on mill
tary affairs to General Logan, who was cut out
of it by the deadlock in the Illinois Legislature
last spring, which made vacancy for some time
in the senatorship he now holds, is the merest
kind of sentiment. While they believe it would
be only simple justice to General Logan to give
him this position, which really belongs to him,
it is a matter of too much interest to Mr.. Sewell
to appeal to his magnanimity at this time. Gen.
eral Logan it will be remembered, is bitter
opponent Of the proposition to restore Gen. Fitz
John Porter to the rolls of the army while Mr..
Sewell is as earnest an advocate of the measure,
and as chairman of the committee on military
affairs he can be power in serving his friend.
General Logan, however, by custom will be
given second place on the committee, and his
minority report. which will be presented, will Of
necessity, therefore, have quite as much weight
in the Senate as Mr.. Sewells majority report
taking the opposite view General Logan, it is
said, will carry quite much sympathy with
him in his work as Mr. Sewell will bear prestige.
So far as this struggle is concerned they stand
upon equal ground in any event.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Severe Criticism of the Methods Adopted by
the Democracy.

0cSeIe ol Tie NAeLnOOS adopted by
the Democracy.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Democrats in and
out of Office and Republicans who still hold
federal positions, but are too timid to express
their convictions, were somewhat astounded at
the recent criticisms of Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Coon, of the manner in which the
administration in general, and his superior Off
Ger, Secretary Manning, in particular are
handling the public debt It has been the prac-
tice for many years for inferior officers to give
expressions of their views on policies adopted by
superior officers but such inferior officers were
always politically in accord with their superiors
Mr. Coon, therefore, has taken a step in ad-
vance of custom, and has improved his standing
in this community. Doubtless he has also
appreciated in the estimation of the administra-
tion. 1t is sometimes mistake for "a man in
his position and political ''off color to talk very
much; but he seems to have struck at the right
time, and set an example that may we'll be emu
lated.
Mr.. Coon says that the deviation by this ad-
ministration from the line mapped out by the
Republicans to extinguish the national debt is
not wise. The Republicans had so arranged
affairs that the national debt would be lquidated
within about twenty years. Now, Mr. Coon
says, no one can estimate the date of Ithe public
debt extinguishment. In other words the Dem
ocratic party is ''going it blind"

Captain Howgate viii Return If He Can Be
Given Immediate Trial.


WASHINGTON Sept. 16 1t is said that q let
ter has been received from Captain Howgate by
one of his friends hero, which will be presented
to the Attorney general upon his return to this
city. In this letter it is said that Captain How
gate offers to return here and stand trial tor his
alleged defalcations in connection with the funds
of the signal corps, provided the authorities will
guarantee him an immediate trial. Captain
Howgate, in this letter, states that he would not
have escaped from the Jail guard when he did in
the spring of 1882 had there been any immediate
prospect that he would be tried. He admits
that he was unable to secure bail, which he said
was made exhorbitant by the court, but says he
had been under arrest for over six months He
says that his health was constantly failing while
he was in jail, and that he escaped so as to save
his life He says he will be ready to return at
any time on four days notice after the Goth of
October, and is fully prepared to stand trial. He
defends himself for running away when he did,
and says it was by no means confession of his
guilt, He denies statement which was exten-
sively published some time ago that he wrote
portion of Lieutenant lGreeiy's report on his
arctic expedition, but says he took deep inter-
est in that report and sent Lieutenant Greely

There is curious fact connected with the idea of war between Eng land and Russia. Both countries nave discontented element which hopes for great results for itself if the clash of arms comes. The Irish revolutionists are looking forward to it as their opportunity to deliver Ireland, while Tn Poland and the German Russian provinces there is a hope that in the quarrel they may be able to make strike for liberty of conscience and a free religion. But the probability is that the war spirit will enlist, ln either country, the bulk of those who would do the fighting Tn such an emergency; and the close of the war--if one comes-- will find them no better off in these minor matters than they are now.

Farmers, Clubs.

Farmers Clubs are great want. We have state and county agiicul- tural societies, with annual fairs, which are good so far as they go, but their meetings for discussion are generally but once a year, and these during fair week, when the attention is very much absorbed with fair matters. We have agricultural pa pers enough, but their circulation in many of the agricultural towns is very limited. What is wanted is a farmers club in every town or busi- ness ceRter, where farmers come to market or to get their supplies, that they may have opportunity for con ference for an hour or two, on some topi1 previously announced, and oc- casional exhibitions of fruits and vegetables, during the summer and fall. In this way, the best farmers, with all their reading, experiments and methods, would be brought in close contact with those who are in the background. and the business of farming be made far more attractive and profitable. Our census statis tics for the last 30 years show a steady drift of our population to wards the cities and villages. These gain at the expense of the agrlcul- tural towns. The school house and church in many of them are half emptied. There is no remedy for this decadencc but in the gospel of husbandry, taught and illustrated by the farmer, themselves, who should exalt their own calling.-American Agriculturists.
