There will be a general feeling OF satisfac-
ten among Republicans all over the country
at the reelection of Gen. John A. Logan to
the United States Senate. The contest has
been long and bitter one, but as far as the
Republicans are concerned it has been char
acterixed by no expedient of questionable
character. The brilliant maneuyre by which
She Democrats were finally beaten was per-
fectly legitimate and was not tainted in the
slightest degree by fraud. The conduct of
the Democracy has been of quite another
kind. At the very outset they sought to con-
troll the legislature by one of the most ingen-
ious scheme to count in representative who
was not elected ever devised by band of
rascals in this country. That it failed to ac-
complish Its object was due simply to the
unceasing vigilance OF the Republicans
Throughout the fight the Democratic cry has
been Anything to beat Logan and they
thought they had concocted plan that
would accomplish that object. But the two
recalcitrant Republicans saw their. duty at
last and subordinating their personal feel
ings to the will of the majority voted for
Logan and elected him. The ending of the
contest will be relief to everybody except
possibly Carten Harrison, who evidently
had hopes that he might eventually win the
prize. ALI the hopes entertained by the
Hon. William r. Morrison persisted long ago.

The Gatling-Gun Hero.
Something Abeut Lieut. Howard Who
Saved tine Canadian Troops From De.
feat in the Northwest

Lieut. Arthur L. Howard, whose success
full handling of the Gatling-gun platoon in
the Northwest has won him sudden fame
is man of whom very little was known
even by his associates in New Haven six
months ago. He was in the United States
cavalry for five years prior to his being placed
in command of the machine-gun platoon of
the Connecticut national guard July IS,
1884. When the Calling guns were ordered
for service in the Northwest, Dr. r. j. Cat
ling looked for man acquainted with ma
chine guns who could handle them in a way
to add to their reputation. He pitched upon
Lieut. Howard. Except by reputation, DR..
Calling knew nothing of the lieutenant. In
truth, there was little to learn. After his
service in the cavalry he had been liv ing
chester arms factory in making arms. Later
he, in company with Mr.. Salisbury, formed
a cartridge making firm known as A. L.
Howard g. Co. The manufacture of car
tridges was carried on in a little wooden
shop, which caught fire and was destroyed
about two years ago. When appointed to
accompany the guns Lieut. Howard was
granted a months leave of absence from
April to May by the state. This has to-
day been extended. The Connecticut national
guard has, it may be remarked, no hand in
Lieut. Towards trip His leave of absence
is simply such as might be given any officer.
LIEUT. Howard's rank has been reported as
wearing the uniform and claiming the title
of captain of artillery in the regular army.
He has no connection except with the Con-
necticut national guard and is not the sort of
man TO assume a rank to which he is not en-
titled. He is second lieutenant comm and.

she avoids some costly contests with them

Politics, too, are in very excited state
owing to sn attempt of the Mcdonald minis
try to force through Parliament what is
called a franchise bill, but which is simply a
most audacious scheme to perpetuate the
power of the ministry. Under this bill the
voting lists are placed entirely in the con-
troll of board of revising barristers" ap-
pointed by the government, and the right Of
suffrage is conferred on the Indians. If il
becomes law there is no reason why the
Mcdonald ministry should lot exist until its
members die of old age.

Canadian Troubles.

Our neighbors. across the border are not
happy. In the first place their finances are
in so bad condition that Sir John Mcdonald
was obliged to confess in Parliament the
other night that 1t would not do to tell the
exact truth In regard to them lest it might
jeopardize the success of the mission of Sir
Leonard Tilley who has gone abroad to try
and raise money enough to meet the large
deficit which ia certain to appear at the end
OF the year. Ever since the present ministry
came into power the Dominion government
has been engaged extensively in railroad
building and in consequence the country has
been saddled with a deb: which is entirely
out of proportion to Its resources, and which
seems to be constantly growing larger. The
protective policy from which great things
were expected has either not worked well or
else too severe strain has been put upon it.
The government is in the market as large
borrower and nobody seems over and above
eager to lend 1t money. The Riel rebellion
has added good deal to the financial bur-
dens and would have added good deal more
had not Gen. Middleton had the good luck
to have in his command an American lieu
tenant who knew how to handle gating
guns.
Another question which is agitatiDg the
government and the people and which bids
fair to assume large proportions and give
rise to good deal of trouble before it is set
tied is the disposal of RieL Riel is I'M
dnrh fodI ofa nrtrna any,ia ahlo NIT
death, but the government will hesitate to
hang him because the French-Canadians
who constitute large per cent of the popu-
lation sympathize with him openly, many of
them going SO far even as to justify his acts.
On the other hand the English part of the
population are clamorous for his prompt ex-
ecu:ion. 1t would be great relief to Sir
John Mcdonald undoubtedly if Riel should
escape across the border into the United
States,
Though the rebellion in the northwest is
for the time suppressed the causes which led
to 1t still exist, and until they are removed
permanent quiet will not be assured. The set
tlement of the half-breeds complaints is like
ly TO cause the ministry good many wakeful
-
nights. Then too in the near future, if not
immediately, the Dominion will have to face
an Indian problem quite as vexatious as that
which has troubled our own government.
Hitherto the Dominion has got along com.
fortably with it's Indians simply because
white settlers were prevented from encroach-
ing on their lands by the Hudson Bay Com
pany which controlled them and protected
them from invasion. Since these lands
passed under the dominion of the govern
ment white settlers have begun to squat on
them with the inevitable result OF rem
dering the Indians FESTIVE and rebellious.
In the future Canada has got to pay much
closer attention to the savages than she has
been in the habit of doing in the past, and if

Bowdoin Orient,

There have been at times vague rumors
that there were in college sundry possessors
OF pieces of pasteboard technically called re-
porter's tickets The precise duties of these
individuals have never been ascertained with
accuracy, though it is often supposed that a
good entertainment in the hall reveals their
existence. When reading accounts of differ
emit events at Bates or Colby, the idea has
sometimes occurred to us that Bowdoin also
might be benefited by some similar adyertis-
ing. Not that we expect the aforesaid gen.
tlemen to become correspondents-of course
not; but we do think that the advantages
which this college possesses should be pre-.
sented to the public more than is the case al
present.

The Hon Joe Blackburn has gone back to
Kentucky breathing out threatenings and
slaughter against the administi alton. Mr.,
Blackburn's special grievance is the revoca-

revenue collector. Before leaving Washing

on file in the department and washed his
hands of all responsibility for the proceed
ings of the administration in the future.

1t has been announced in semi-oficial
way that Tammany is soon to receive a

faithful service, but Just to show that civil
service reform is not the hard and forbidding
thing that its enemies try to make out.

State forbidding railroads to transport
liquor, which is one feature of the Iowa law,
willjustify railroads in other States in refus-
ing consignments of liquor billed to a point
in the State where such law exists, is soon
to be tested. A case came before the United
States District Court at Chicago the other
day in which railroad was sustained in its
refusal to receive consignment of beer for
Marshalltown, Iowa. The case was APP
pealed, and will go up to the United States
supreme Court on the constitutional ques-
ton of Interstate commerce.
