World" to be erected at the

A tremendous pun-by the Portland Adver-

Logan came near being freed in Illinois
Thursday. A new Democratic candidate named
Tree came within one vote of being elected
Senator.

Senator Logan Reelected

The long contest in the Illinois Legislature
ended on Tuesday last when Gen. John A. Lo-
gan was elected on the first ballot to be his own
successor in the United States Senate. When
the vote was announced there were loud calls
for Logan and he was conducted to the chair of
the House and spoke briefly, expressing graft
tude for the compliment paid in electing him
for The third time to represent Illinois in the
Senate, and saying that his past record is the
only guarantee he could give for his future
course
The Democratic party left no stone unturned
to defeat Gen. Logan, and his victory is the
more significant, involving as it does not merely
a personal triumph but the success of Republi-
can principles, of which Gen. Logan is so able
and so gallant an exponent. The Wing says ::
If all the veterans of the Union Army who re
,loice to-day over the success of General Logan
could load and fire their old rifles simultaneous
ly, it would make such salute that would
echo round the world.' And Hon. j. II.
Manly, of Augusta, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, teegraphed Gen. Logan on
the 10Th as follows: ''The Republicans of
Maine send their hearty congratulations. Your
election is Il National victory and means the
future success of the party"

FISH AND FISHING. The Richmond Bee
says: j. Nj. Odorne is ''hgh line among

shape of a brook trout weighing one pound

not been running up to any extent. The
weather has been too cold for them.....A New
London, CT, despatch says: The Long Island
Menhaden steamers have not been AS successful
of recent years their owners desire, and
several of them have determined to send the
vessels down on the coast of Maine to engage
in whaling this season. The steamer Fannie
Sprague, which went to Maine three months or
more ago, has been very successful in capur-
ing whales, and other vessels are to engage in
the same business. The Sprague's catch since
last February is said to have been twenty-five
tinbacks. Several weeks ago she was reported
as having taken over 800 barrels of oil. The
bone of the whale is now selling at high prices,
and oil also commands good prces.."..The
salmon fishery on the Sacramento River Is
almost failure this season. Not more than
1000 cans have thus far been packed, against
10000 cases at the same date last year. The
falng-otf is attributed to the ravages of the
seals and sea lions, which either destroy or
brighten off the fish. Every boat carries one or
two rifles with which to destroy these foes of
the fishermen. There are good fish at the
Rangeleys as ever yet were caught perhaps. AT
least there are still some very handsome speci-
mems. Robert Crosby. reports the monograph

( A great deal Of newspaper talk has
been wasted over the prospective remoY-
al Of Governor Pierce and as to who his
successor will probably be. If the pros
pect worried the newspapers as little as
it does the governor much less space
would be occupied in its consideration
and much less reason could be given by
the president for his removal if all the
governors would-be friends would stop
showing tho likelihood of his removal
and trying the hit-or-miss style of hew-
ing out gubernatoriai timber for the
purpose of standing in with a new ad-
ministration. President Cleveland has
been nearly consistent in his practice Of
civil service reform rules, which he in
terprets about as follows: Ofice-holdsrs
should be removed for inelficiency, for
mal-feasance of Office or for taking an
active part in politics, or for having
retained office on account of the votes
he controlled. Not solitary one of
these reasons can be brought to the
governors door and the president wtll
have to find new reasons for the ap-
pOintment of Democrat as governor
Of Dakota. We believe the president
is In earnest about civil service re-
form and consequently that Gilbert A

the result Of its tyrannical policy tow
ard settlers and now has good-sized
rebellion on its hands in the Saskatche-
wan couLtry. The uprising is headed
BY Louis Riel, Of Red River fame and is
raised because Of the non-settlement of
land claims. Riel was sent for from
Montana to direct the settlers and for a
long time connseled law-abiding meas
ures. These utterly failed in their
object and rebellion is the result. The
rebels are Well-armed and will make a
desperate struggle for their rights. The
