"The trouble about Bill Villas"
said a Western member OF Con,
gress in New York, dis that he is
always talking about everything
and doing nothing. With over
5000 departmental post offices va
cant on his hands he has to spend
his time writing long confidential
circulars telling experienced Con-
gressmen how to fix for vacancies
in their districts, which is about
like trying to teach Dana the al
phabet. If you want a good execu-
tive don't look for him in free
trade lecture room. The fact is
that Villas circular was only q de-
vice to cover up his inaction and
make disappointed Congressman
think he agreed with tbom. And
to think such a thing would be kept
quiet A baby would have more
sense

THE CLUvERIUS TRIAL.

1t is quite bad enough that Gus
tom and the public demand that
newspapers should publish such
horrid matter as the murder OF
Fanny Lillian Madison and suicide
of Elite Kanopp, as news; but for
the benefit of those papers which
are giving columns to the publlca-
ton of the trial proceedings Of
Cluverius from day to day, VIC re-
produce some extracts from Fisher
Ames' :" Address TO Printers" writ
ten some eighty years ago;
at seems as if newspaper wares
were made to suit market, as
much az any other. The Starers,
and wonderers, and gapers, en-
gross a very large share of the at
tention of all the sons oftype. Ex-
traordinsry events multiply upon
us surprisingly. Gazettes, it is
seriously to be feared, will not long
allow room to anything that is not
loAthsome or shocking. A news
paper is pronounced to be very
lean and destitute of matter, If it
contains no account OF murders,
suicides, prOdigies, or monstrOus
births.
"Some of the articles in the
newspapers raise simple, and very
simple wonder; some terror; and
some horror and disgust. Now
what instruction is there in these
endless wonders . Who is the
wiser or happier for reading ac-
counts of them On the contrary
do they not shock tender minds
and addle shallow brains? They
make thousand old maids; and
eight or ten thousand BOBBY boys,
afraid 10 90 to bed alone. Worse
than this happens, for some eccen.
trio minds are turned to mischief
by such accounts Of troops OF in.
cendiaries burning our cities; the
spirit of imitation is contagious (;
and boys are found unaccOuntably
bent to do as men do. When the
man flew from the steeple of the
North church fifty years ago, every
unlucky boy thought OF nothing
but flying from sign post.
every horrid story IN news
paper produces a shock but after
some time this shock lessons. AT
length, such stories are 80 far from
| giving pain, that they rather raise
curiosity, and we desire nothing so
much as the particulars of terrible
tragedies. The wonder is as easy
as to stare and the most vacant
mind is most in need Of such re-
sources rs cost no trouble OF
scrutiny or reflection. 1t is q sort
of food for idle curiosity that is
readily chewed and digested.
"On the whole, we may insist
that the increasing fashion for
printing wonderful tales of crimes
| and accidents is worse than ridicu.
lous. as it corrupts both the public
taste and morals. 1t multiples
fables, prOdigiOus monsters and
| crimes, and thus makes shocking
things FAMILIAR while it with.
draws all popular attention from
familiar truth, because it Is not
shocking. .

LOGGa SENATOR FOR A THIRD TERM.


For the first time since the No
vember election, public sentiment
has found voice as to the accidental
election of a President whom a
large majority Of the American
people did not desire to be Presl'
dent, and whose election was
among the most remarkable OF the
freaks yet achieved by our electoral
system. The first thought suggest
cd by LOgan's election to the Senate
after four months contest, is that
the event completely reverses the
November result so far as public
Judgment goes. For John A. Lo-
gan represents no doubtful sentl'
ment. He is a pronounced Re-
publican, without civil.service re-
form pretensions, and he will
prove lion in the path of an ad-
ministratiOn which deliberately
practices the spOils system, while
pretending sOmethingelse. Logan's
election not only secures thesenate
to the Republicans for four years in
any event, but it gives to that
body the leadership Of "A lion-heart.
ed man who fights his enemies
manfully and fights for his friends
without care of personal sacrifice.
No wonder that Mr.. Blaine, whose
patient and digni6ed acceptance OF
defeat has won the admiration OF
all good men, telegraphs to Lo'
gan his heartfelt congratulations
upon the result in Illinois, Gun
precedented " is the happy expires.
sion of the great Republican lead
er when he characterizes Logan's
victory over all combinations Of
treachery, mischance and attempt
ed purchase of votes by Federal
patronage. Not only is General
Logan to be congratulated, but the
whole American people should re-
joice In the suoGess Of this brave,
pure and conscientious man, whose
public life of nearly a third of a
century carries no suggestion OF
stain and no shadow Of reproach.
The Illinois Legislature has, in dc.
ference to public sentiment all over
the country, elected to the Senate
a man who will ever be found here
after, as he has always been in the
past, the implacable foe ofpolitical
Pharisees. Logan will neither
bargain with his enemies in politics
nor cease his warfare upon political
frauds in either party. lie will
furnish much needed leadership
to the Republican majority in the
Senate which will teach an acciden-
tai administration that there are
rights and perogatives beyond its
own despOtic partisan will.
Logan's election is a lesson to
those who read the philosophy of
politics. A hostile Democratic
administration, in full possession
of prestige and patronage, re-
Gently acquired after loDg-deterred
success, is unable to defeat for tho
Senate in a legislature practically
tied, a Republican whose poverty
is proverbial, and whose purity in
public and private life is a subject
of universal eulogy. Logan's cleo
ton is a large and handsome con-
tributiOn to decency and manhood
in politics. That gallant soldier
and upright public servant, enloglz-
ed by his chief opponent, Col.
Morrison, the Democratic nominee
for Senator in Illinois, should DO
elected, when bargain and intrigue
we're possible in all the stages OF
the fight, furnishes an instructive
and wholesome comment.

The New York Sun does not
treat the new administration with
the awful solemity which reverence
begcts. Here is the way it speaks
of the Swiss mission and the man
who is to fill it:
90 As there is nothing in partic-
ular for an American Minister
Resident and Consul General to
Switzerland to do, it is gratifying
to think that the Hon. Boyd
Winchester, who is to- represent
Col. Henry Watterson and the
United States there, will have
plenty of leisure to devote to the
subtle but bold and glorious game
of poker, in which he is said to be
an accomplished artist. The Swiss
cannot have failed to hear of the
fame of the beautiful women Of
Kentucky, and of the fleet horses
of Kentucky, and Blue Grass whis-
ky is sure of a welcome among so
thirsty a people. But if Col. Win
chester plays strong and genuine
Kentucky game of poker, Switzer.
land will for the first time learn
what poker is, and how bo6-tailed
flush In the hands of n man entire
ly great may be mightier than the
fullest kind of a full hand. Great
fun is in store for the Swiss, and
we hope Col. Winchester will not
spare them the full rigor of the
game. In respect to this national
accomplishment wo have been most
inadcquately represented abroad
since the retirement Of the lament
ed Schcnck, who as minister to
England taught the nobility our
national game.
