AFTER an unprecedently long contest
Logan has been elected to the U. S. SEN
ate by the Illinois Legislature. Sittig
voted for him under protest and he thus
had 103 votes. The election Of Weaver
gave the republicans a majority if Sittig
could be whipped in, and he was. The
democrats might have elected Morrison
but for petty jealousies and the over
weening ambition of Haines. The re-
publican party has strong hold on its
individual members, and organization
can always be counted upon when it can
effect something. The protectionists
have again given the republicans VIC

A MILWAUKEE republican writes to the
Milwaukee Sentinel, protesting against
the whining of republican officials who
have been suspended. The writer of the
communication acknowledges his dislike
of what is known as civil service reform,
but at the same time tells many truths
which civil service reformers, as well as
those who appeal to the doctrine for the
selfish purpose of retaining their posi-
tons. may read with profit. No one
can dispute the fact that every federal
office holder before Cleveland s induction
to Office, was a republican, and that
under the old regime none but republi,
cans could secure position under the
government. Those who held office for
77-srs and years must think it is birth
right Judging from their tenacity.

THE vail of Collector Bean is indeed

THE vail of Collector Bean is indeed
pitiful. What on earth did he expect?
AL these prominent Office holders were
industriously engaged in making the
people believe that The country would 60
to the devil if the democrats were sue
cessful, and now they.want to ride with
the band. Or is it to 60 to the devil be-
cause they are to be replaced by fully
as competent mon, though they are dem
ocrats? One can not look with much
respect upon the man who thinks q
change of party administration is solely
for the purpose of giving him Office; but
the man is less to be respected who thinks
the Office is his birth-right and that no
other person can properly fill it.

He admits that at one time he thought
2:2O would be the limit until Dexter
demonstrated greater possibilities. 4
team rightly matched in gait, he believes
will attain to greater speed than any
single horse. Pool selling in his estima-
ton is running races and he wants to see
a rigid law against it enforced.

REL sustained rather q crushing de-
feat at Batouche last week. 1t took four
days to dislodge him from his entrench-
ments in front of Batouche, but it WAS
finally done by plucky charge. Reil's
forces fought stubbornly in the retreat,
taking advantage of everything which
afforded protection. The defeat is q
crushing one, as the rebels will find it
almost impossible to fill up their shat
tered ranks.

SOME years ago the City Hospital at
this place Was established largely through
the efforts of the lamented Father Jacobs
aud the liberality of prominent citizens.
1t has done magnificent work since,
recognizing no sect when works of charity
are needed and offering a home to the
friendless and suffering. 1t is under the
management of the Catholic sisters, and
they are prompted solely by benevolent
feelings.
They find it necessary to vacate their
present quarters for good reasons and
wish to erect a building which will have
better location. They need assistance
for the reason that they have not con-
Quoted the hospital in such a way as to
make money. 1t has not been their
object. Probably they, will ask that the
county board and the city board extend
some assistance. 1t should be given.
Some of our citizens may also be asked
to contribute and they should have no
hesitaocy in giving prompt and favor
able response.

to give himself up. The daring revolu-
