A pretty little story is told of the
way Herr Cohn, the private banker of
the emperor of Germany, gained the
imperial favor. Years ago, when the
present empress was still a princess of
Prussia, she made a railway Journey to
Dessau. On the way her feet got cold,
so she sent out an attendant at the next
station to procure a task of hot water.
Unfortunately the cook at the rail
way restaurant had just used up every
drop of hot water in making fresh coffee
for those who had Just arrived on the
train. The restaurateur was in despair,
when one of the guests suddenly got up,
seized the pot of fresh coffee, and
poured it into the imperial flask. The
attendant fastened away with it, but
soon returned, as the empress wished
to know the name of the man who had
had the happy thought of utilizing the
coffee. And she did mol forget him.

The Republican party will fully
appreciate the heroic action Of John
A. Logan in declining the nomina-
ton for President of the Senate,
when that nomination was tanta-
mount to an election, and remain
ing ON the floor of the Senate, where
he can carry his lance at rest, pre-
pared for the fray, and make an
open, legitimate fight within the
limits prescribed by the last election.
The Republicans of the country do
not want to emharrass the admins
tration, by putting their most active
and energetic leaders where they
would by any possibility succeed to
the complete control of affairs. We
are a peoples party, and bow to
their will whenever expressed. The
Senate is legitimately Republican,
and Black Jack has a perfect right
under any view of the case to make
war upon the questionable acts of
the Democrats from the forum of
that body. He is wanted there by
the party at large. AS President
his hands would have been tied. If
we can read the signs Of the times
there will be. plenty for the Sen
ate to do, to prevent the old ship of
State from being badly wrecked in
four years. If the Democratic party
don't unload its ballast, it will be
the first time IN her history that she
did not only unload the ballast but
pat the ship in pledge at an
enormous discount, for money to
take her to shore. John A. Logan
is true as steel, honest and courage
Gus we want him just where he is,
now-at the head in 1888.
