Gen. Logan at Boston.

The republican leaders of Massachu-
sets gave Gen. Logan fine reception
a Boston last week. Many eminent
men were present and made addresses,
and Gen. Logan's speech was among
his best efforts. Besides a speech by
the distinguished guest, Senator Hoar,
Gov Robinson, A. W. Beard and Henry
G. Lodge all made addresses. Senator
Hoar was too bitter in his remarks to
carry the weight he w"uld otherwise
have done. Gen. Logan also over
reached himself when he said that tine
prostitution of the public service rs go

hard for some of the republican lead
els to- realize that the democrats are
in power and that the world is moving
OH Just the same in spite of that fact.

1t is said that Senator Greene of

land that Hiram Atkins is sort of pO
litical hummer, Il democrat for revenue

trayer of his party when the shekels
were TO he scooped in; that he was
fishing most of the time during the
late campaign, but got ont of the woods
in time to claim all the credit of the
victory. and open an office brokerage
shop. He protested against the recog
milton of Atkins and Smalley as the
only democrats in the state.-- Mont

WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
In view of all the developments that
have come TO light in the past two
weeks it looks as if the real thing to
criticise in the commissioners action
is the fact that, when they found their
appropriation insufficient, they did not
drop the matter and go to the next
Legislature frankly saying that they
must have more money, rather than go
OH with a plan which cannot give a
satisfactory result, which will leave Il
deficit for the state to pay, and OF
which it can only be said in palliatioD
that sit doesn't look as bad as it might
and it was 1.-THE best thing that could
be done under the circumstances. >

THE NEW LIBRARY.
A paper published in Montpelier has
been enthusiastically ELUSIVE in its
deliverances on the subject of the new
ln1ildipn This r1cL al
is the combined product of Henry
Oviatt and Thomas l.. Wood. Mr..
Wood, who is assistant state librarian,
favored separate building. He had
some pet notions about IL library, and
is all unrecOnciled to an annex. He is
the victim of mild type of luuacy on
this subject and employs his time, we
are credibly informed, i'll studying mp
points for Tie Argus writer to devel-
op and publish. Certain it is
that II separate building OH land east
erly from the state-hOuse and i'll line
with it was the scheme discussed in
the Legislature and outside OF that
body. The public got the impression
that this was the proposition. The
act authorizing the erection of the
building bears the plain language OF
such an impression and that locality
was the one earliest under considera-
ton by the commission Waterman.

Cleveland Should Resign.

Young men in our colleges and
schools, young men brought up with
the old Massachusetts love of liberty,
and the old Massachusetts sense of ii
nancial honor, are told by the men who
undertake to lead and instruct them
that this administration is doing very
well in the foreign appointments. The
president turned out poor Meade OF
Mississippi, whose fault it was that he
did, IA year ago last fall, those acts of
murder and violence which gave no
tice to the members of the republican
party in every doubtful state in the
South what was to be their fate if they
attempted to make canvass in any
presidential election. President Glove
land was bound, in my Judgment
speak only for myself-either to give
him, the instrument 10y which his par
ty gained success, his commission, or
to step out of the presidential chair
himself Senator HOar at the Logan
banquet.
Mr. HOaI's effort is that of strong
man trying to project the old prejn-
dices of the past into the future, and
sustain "a party upon them. He fails
to give President Cleveland the credit
he deserves in dealing Il heavier blow
to Mississippi terrorism than any OF
his predecessors. Mr.. HOar is sound
on all the issues which have real
bearing upon public matters, aud his
entire avoidance of them shows on his
part a melancholy delving into affairs
which can hardly claim to be more
than party purpOses.- Boston Tran
script.
But, seriously, what is the burden of
S"n"tn~ H"ar's hitter speech. eYcent
this, that the democrats are in power,
and that President Cleveland has ap-
pointed to office and sent abroad as
ministers democrats who have shared
the party's mistakes and follies, mis-
takes, fOllies and crimes perhaps which
Mr.. Hoar can readily forgive when the
culprit becomes republican, or even
IL readiuster, but never SO long as he
remains democrat. 1t is purely a
partisan fire which burns in Mr.. HOar' S
breast when he declares it as his DELHI
crate judgment that President Cleve-
land was bound either to commission
Meade of Copiah county or to ''step
out of the presidential chair himself"
This is of piece with the denuncia-
ton of President Hayes by democrats
for accepting the presidency on the
award of the highest judicial authori-
ty.-[Springfeld Republican.

public buildings, saying that the day
was day of mourning to them be-
cause their best men were in the peni-
Tertiary by virtue of federal officials
perversion of all principles of law and
liberty, and intimated that any man
who undertook to disturb the flag at
half-mast would be shot. This action
reused the patriotism of loyal citizens,
and finally in response to their de-
mands, the sheriff and mayor thought
better of the matter and ordered the
flags run up properly. The insulting
order is said To have come direct from
the head of the church.

hope OF recovery, and that no one
knows what he has suffered. Gen.
Grant reads or has read to him all the
New York papers. The news from

to, frequently with a pleasant remark
that he desires to learn how he passed
the night, and in what condition he
ought to find himself GU "getting up"
He is very sensitive to the reports OF
the correspondents. Hopeful comment
cheers him, aud gloomy story from
the cottage depresses him. NeVerthe-
less he has the newspapers as regular
" as his medicine. There has been no
marked change in his condition during
the past week. He appears to be calm
" awaiting the end, with characteris-
tic GOODNESS and courage.
