Speech.
The death of Mr.. Hendricks having left the
Senate without presiding officer, it was neces-

for that purpose OH Friday last at noon the Re-
publican Senators assembled in caucus to con-
slider the question of electing President pro
tempore of that body The proceedings were
opened by most effective speech in favor of
Gen. Logan's election to that position by Mr..
Edmunds, at the conclusion of which he moved
that the nomination be made by acclamatOn.
Several Senator'S then spoke briefly in favor of
the nomination, and the motion was agreed to
unanimously. Senator Sherman the Chairman,
then announced the unanimous nomination of
John A. Logan as the Republican candidate for
President pro tempore of the Senate.
Gen. Logan arose and said:

MOrmOns vs.. Gentiles.

Since the prosecutions of Mormons for polyg-
amy by the United States authorities at Salt
Lake City, the Mormons have retorted by pro-
curing indictments against Gentiles for un-
chastity by the testimony of women imported
for that purpose. Judge Zane, of the United
States Court, decided last week that these in
dictments could not stand. This decision and
the shooting by Deputy Marshal Collin of q
Mormon who attacked him caused much ex-
element at Salt Lake. Troops were taken from
Fort Omaha to protect the Jail, where Collin
hal been placed by the United States authori-
ties. McMurrin, the Mormon shot by Collin, is

Suuatters on the War Path.

Armed and organized squatters on land in the
disputed Ontonagon grant in Wisconsin are
driving of the lumber owners who own patents
on pine lands and are cutting the pine. The

lawless and disreputable and are armed with
repeating rifles. Much trouble is anticipated.
A recent decision of Secretary Lamar favors
the cash-entry men, bat the squatters are bound
to assert what they claim to be their rights.

A Deadly Substitute for Whisky,

covered the practice existing in various parts
of the north Of Ireland of drinking ether in
stead Of whisky. The habit prevails largely,
and has given rise to several cases of insanity.
The cause of the preference for either is that
it is cheaper intoxicant. The synod recon-
mends that the traffic in this and other noxious
drugs be restricted; so north of Ireland men
will soon have to fall back again on whisky.

Indian Drunks.

There must be something unusually
attractive about the business of selling
whisky to Indians The red men of
the reservation have, for some tixne,
been getting on long, loud and boisl-
eroUs sprees, greatly 10 the annoyance
of their white neighbors. As mest of
the whisky sellers, heretofore appre-
hended, have seemed to take their i'm.
prisonment as Il sort of pleasant recre-
alton, it might be well To make some
provision for their future usefulness,
as prisoners, As they are of the bro
ken down class, their inability TO do
heavy work neeessiiates the search for
sedeniary employment for them.
Whisky selling is light work, and II
has been suggested to the authorities
that if any more arrests are made the
prisoners can be made useful, within
the range 'ot their ability, by uSin Z
them as iAcubators. The cbidken bus.
mess has taken positive and active
form in tAts Stale and the whisky
sellers might be proitably employed
