LOGAN,s ELECTION.

Gen. LOGAN has been reelected to the
United States senate from Illinois, and as
he was fairly entitled to it there will be no
complaints. 1t is true that Gen. LOGAN is
not the sort of man every state would
want for its representative in the upper
branch of congress, but as long as Illinois
is satisfied with him no one else has ground
for objection. There was time when the
Democrats of that state were entitled to
the senator, but by the densest stupidity and
grossest mismanagement they lost their OPP
portunity and in consequence deserve the
defeat they have received. When MoRRI-
SON was first nominated by the Democratic
caucus he could have been elected
if all the members of the legis-
lature who had been elected by
Democratic constituencies had discharged
their duty. On pretense of being dissatis-
fed with the nominee enough of so-called
ences which Republican political managers
know so well how to WELD and refusing to
follow their leader produced deadlock.
A deadlock is dangerous thing to a party
whose leader is an honest, guileless man
like Col. MORRISON and the opposition is
led by scbeming machine manipulation
like Gen. LOGAN. Nothing short of a mir
acle could have saved MORRISON after the
deadlock commenced but the better ele-
ment of the state did hope to use it to de-
feat LOGAN. When Death interviewed to
create vacancy, and LOGAN went down
into the CaSS county district in which the
Democrats had a clear majority of 1900,
and carried off the prize, then from that
hour he was entitled to the senatorship.
The result of yesterday was only entering
Judgment upon the verdict which was
rendered two weeks ago. Col. MORRISON
may still deserve the respect of his party,
but he is not entitled to their sympathy.
He is unquestionably good Democrat, but
a very poor leader, and should never again
seek to be placed in position where he
will be a block for his party to stumble
over.

LET HIM STAY THERE.

Gen. LEW WALLACE would have the
American people believe that it is like tear
ing the heart out of the Turkish empire to
have him withdrawn as the American min
lister to that court. From all accounts, pub
lished voluminously from time to time at
the instigatiOn of Minister WALLACE, de-
scribing the sorrow produced by the de-
parture of Gen. WALLACE from the en-
pire, we are prepared to believe that the
sultan's grief is such that his tears will
swell the tide of the Bosphorus. While
there is no evidence that Gen. WALLACE
has been of any use to the United States at
the sultan's court, still IL is equally evil
dent from the late minister's statement that
he has been the main stay of the potentate
to whom he was accredited. The separa-
ton Of these two devoted chums would be
Z very cruel act on the part of this country
butfor the fact that the inexhaustible fund
minister will serve to relieve the
''sick man" of his dependency, re-
sulting from the retirement of WALLACE.
If Mr.. Cox fails to drive away the sultan's
melancholy with merry jokes and sparkling
wit, then the only way to assuage the dis
consulate grief of his imperial highness will
be to adopt the suggestion made by the
Baltimore News that the sultan adopt Gen.
WALLACE and make a pasha of him. That
is capital idea. for there is no public man
our country could spare with less regret
than Gen. WALLACE, and he possesses the
qualities to make him first-class Turkish
nobleman. Really the greatest sufferers by
WA1LAcE's removal is the cable company,
which did large business in transmitting
accounts of his relations with the sultan's
court.

cause of this screens had been left off thresh-
| ing machines. A farmer said he had
screened his wheat and it made no differ
ence in dockage. He and other farmers
would give Off a pound on every bushel for
dOckage, and this should be regulated.
ON THE OLD SYSTEM
the inspectors would dock about the same,
but on the present two men would not
agree on a single one Of fifty cars. It was
explained that in a bin of 10. 900 bushels
with one-half pound off the first half would
come out clean and the last half with three
pounds of dirt to the bushel Mr. Delano
said the loss on the dirty wheat must be
regulated by storage charges.
Mr.. Petit explained that the dockage il
taken off On its reception by the elevator,
and the ticket issued is for net wheat The
elevator man who cannot dock for cookie
and dirt at five pounds a bushel is not
safe If the wheat sent to terminal points
can be regarded by the state inspectors.
This brought out the fact that guess work
on dockage was unsafe to all.
| The commissioners stated that under the
new law wheat must be inspected going out
of the elevators aswell as when it goes in.
| A grade of wheat is not cut down for a
small quantity of cookie. Commissioner
Murdoch stated that the inspectors were
now handling and cleaning grain in and out
of elevators without loss to the latter. For
eight years this had been the custom of this
state and great country had grown up
without facilities for cleaning grain. There
are now steam facilities and charge a a
cent a bushel and it was evident economy
for the producer to pay this.
Mr.. Shears said it was not dockage for
dirt the farmers complained of, but a dock
age to adjust opinions about its grade. This
was what country elevators had been do
ing.
Mr.. Petit said this question of dockage
instead of being in the hands of three or
four inspectors at terminal points, was go
ing to be put in the hands of more mex
perienced persons at hundreds of points by
the new law, and thought that a leeway
must be given at these terminal points to
give satisfaction. This led Mr., Delano to
| readvOcate the
| CLEANING OF WHEAT AT COUNTRY ELE-
vATORS,
with dockage taken out there, the grade of
wheat to be determined which cannot be
altered at the terminal points. The country
elevator men must take the
wheat for what it is aside
| from dirt OR anything else. This brought
out the idea of Mr.. Delano that the state
inspection should go to the country eleva-
tors, and that there was unanimity of
feeling by all hands that this should be done.
The new law, it was explained, exercises
no quarantine except at the terminal ware
houses in st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth and does not affect the country ele-
vatorS.
1t was explained that the Duluth people
wished to retain the grade No. hard, to
drop No. 2 hard and mix that wheat with
! soft wheat grown in Minnesota and in the
Northwest and call it No. 1 Northern, to
| have No. 2 Northern a grade of soft wheat,
No. 3 regular next and then rejected.

RESCUE THE PRISONERS.

Whatever Fate may decree for RIEL and
the half-breed leaders, punishment of the
most cOndign character should be melted
out to such of the Indians as have been
parties to the unutterable indignities which
have been heaped upon female prisoners.
Even Indians must be taught that they
must not mistreat women so shamefully as
Mrs. DELANEY and others have been
treated. The fate of this ill-starred lady
is too horrible for contemplation. The
hideous story is detailed in tO-day'S GLOBE.
Those whose friends were surrendered in so
cowardly manner by FACTOR MoLANE to
the brutal BRAVE BEAR at Fort Pitt
must shudder as they read the terrible re-
cital in the GLOBE. Whatever response
bility may be fixed upon REL and the half
breed leaders in the way of melting the In
dams to hostilities and the atrocities which
always follow their taking the war path,
should be weighed in the measure of the
punishment to be melted out to them for
their offenses. 1t is the hope of the
humane everywhere that the troops will
now promptly take up their line of march
against BRAVE BEAR and PoUNDMAKER
for the relief of the Inflated prisoners in
their custody, if perchance they have not
all been murdered or met much worse
fate. A little of the discipline admins
tered the Sioux for their awful atrocities
perpetrated by them in the infancy of this
state would be wholesome for these North
western fiends whose methods of warfare
cannot be countenanced by even the sickly
sentimentalists of the East, who waste
their maudlin sympathy ON the heartless
savage and hardly give a thought to the set
tier who endures the hardships and perils
of the far frontier, with his family exposed
not only to the privations incident to the
exigencies of an almost Arctic winter, but
are menaced by dangers which appan the
stoutest heart, the staunchest nerve.
By all means let the troops subdue the
recalcitrants as quickly as possible and set
tie once for all the Indian question, in the
name of suffering and imperiled humanity.
BRAVE BEAR and PoUNDMAKER must be
brought to Judgment and made to answer
for the atrocious conduct of their people,
and the guilty in each case must likewise
be made to suffer the penalty due to their
transgressiOns.

BALTIMORE is agitating a proposition to
provide pensions for aged policemen. 1t does
seem that every city should do this much for
the meritorious members of their police force.
1t is always the policy of state governments
to provide literally for their defenders in time
OF peril. 1t would be eminently proper for
municipal governments to be as generous in
their treatment of those who spend lifetime
in protecting the lives and property of the
people of city. 1t seems hard that those
who have grown old in such service, when
they are retired because of age or infirmity,
should be turned adrift to face the future as
best they may.

THE OLD Is GOOD ENOUGH.

Now that the revisers have completed
fifteen years of arduous labor in fixing up a
new Old Testament, and the secular press
has spent whole week in reviewing the re-
vision, it is gratifying to be able to an
nounce that the old Bible still remains and
will continue to be the same precious word
to Christian souls that it has been in all the
years of the past, When four years ago a
revision of the New Testament was COM
pleted its publication was hailed with cry
of delight by the Christian churches; and
yet to-day it is not found in single pulpit
of Christendom. Probably in less than four
years from now the revised Old Testament

BREAK RANKS.

The secretary of war has come to the con-
clusiOn that what is known in army circles
as the ''soft place brigade shall be dis
banded. The members of this pleasant
circle are officers of the regular army who
under one preteXt and another have been
taken from their commands and assigned
to sinecure positions, where they have had
very little work to do and drew fat
salaries. The army regulations direct that
captains shall not be separated from their
companies except for urgent reasons, and
yet to-day one-fourth of the captains in the
line of the army are absent from their COM
mands. Some of them have not seen their
companies for fifteen or twenty years, and
unless they have remarkably good memories
for faces would not know their men when
they see them. Some of these officers
are on recruiting service, the duties of which
are quite pleasant, as the captain of a re-
cruiting party does pretty much as he
pleaSes, has his expenses paid and is free
from any irksome responsibility. A good
many are away on sick leave and yet some
of them are robust-looking invalids. They
travel and take part in active amusements,
and those who have the pleasure of their
acquaintance could hardly believe that men
so sick and enfeebled could stand such pres
sure upon their debilitated systems. Twenty
five captains are away on simple leave of
absence, which is wide expression and
admits of large amount of personal free
dom. 1t is said that one officer who has
been in the service for tWenty-three years
has been on detached duty for eighteen.
He has never yet given his regiment the pleas
ure of making his personal acquaintance.
When it is remembered that these gentle
men of the ''soft place brigade" never look
into book of tactics, it must be conceded
that they are getting little rusty and
ought to go back to barracks to brighten up
a little on drill. In case Of war or any sud-
den excitement compelling them to rejoin
their companies, they would not be in good
trim to make efficient leaders. The secre-
tary of war is right in his determination to
shake up these tigure-heads. If the coun-
try pays them to be soldiers, then soldiers
they ought to be and not sinecures.

TuE MARKETS.

The stock market was very dull yesterday,
most stocks being weak, and the fluctuations
we're all very limited. Wild rumors of e.
falcation in the Union Pacific were abundant,
and of course they were denied. The Changers
were quiet and strong all day, and closed
with a slight advance over the previous day.
In the afternoon the bears made combined
attack and caused most of the stocks to show
considerable weakness during the last halr
hour. The wheat market at Chicago was
weak and lower. In St: Paul wheat was down
&c. In Minneapolis it was dull, but they
managed tohold the market up &c above the
prices of the day previous.

LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
Accidentally Shot i'm the Leg--Fire ON
First Street.

A well-knOwn woman of the town named
Nora Sexton, was arrested last night upon
the suspicion of shooting David KEGS, who
ives at No. 719 Third avenue southeast,
but an investigation into the circumstances
shows that the shooting was done by Kees
himself accidentally. KEGS and Nora Sex.
ton were at the house of Mrs Hendricks
on Tenth avenue south, between Washing
ton avenue and Third street, when his pi-
tol in some manner exploded, the bullet
entering his leg, infieting an ugly
wound. A surgeon probed for the
ball, but failed to find it,
and he was taken home. It is reported that
the woman was to blame for the accident.
Last night fire was discovered in the rear
of Nine. Dixon's..house at No. aS4kSouth First
street. When first seen pile of old papers
and rubbish under the corner of the house
was burning and the flames were creeping
rapidly up the side of the wooden building,
but few pals of water extinguished the
flames. 1t was unquestionably the work of
wanton fire bugs and the guilty parties are
spotted, it is believed.

Child BeaterS.

The recent cases of cruelty to children in
Philadelphia arouse the Times of that city to
call for some more radical penalty for offenses
of that nature. 1t shows that adequate pun
ishment is rarely melted out to such brutes,
and suggests the whipping-post as particu-
larry fitted to meet their case. sThe JAIL or
even the penitentiary, has no enduring ter
rors for such people; but the prospect of
forty lashes less one, well laid on on old backs,
would save many helpless children from the
severe beatings now inflicted upon them.
