that Gen. Logan was elected senator from
Illinois, he said that it was the work OF a
Capt. Cunningham, who had been dis
charged from the pension office. He got
another worthless character to assist him,
and only these two were concerned in firing
an old twelve-pounder. 1t caused much
amusement in Washington.
The senator was tired, and did not care
to be interviewed, but when anything OF
Importance will transpire, he will willingly
communicate it. The senator appears to
be fayorably impressed with the new
regime, and, from all appearances, will do
just as he says, and give it fair trial
Memorial Services.
Muller Post No. 1, G. "a. r., held memo
rial services last evening in the NJ. E.
church. The congregation had decorated
the church for the occasion. On the plat
form were finely arranged many beautiful
plants and flowers, while overhead the
stars and stripes were gracefully festooned.
The old veterans met in their hall, corner
of Main and Chestnut streets, and at 1880
Company K, in undress uniform, to the
number of three officers and thirty men,
marched to their hall and escorted the
SCARED and manned members OF Muller
post to church. Some two dozen of them
were in line, and they made an imposin G
appearance even in the presence of the
sprightly Company K. The veterans and
Company K occupied the two center rows
of seats, while every other part OF the
church was crowded to its utmost capacity,
the parlors also being full. The Rev. DR..
Dunn delivered an admirable address, Of
which the following is only brief synop-
sis and does not do justice to the manner
or matter:
Fellow Citizens; In settling this country
two principles were transplanted- slav-
cry, the other freedom opposite and eter-
nally antagonistic. The one represented
the old feudal idea, the other the civiliza-
ton of Plymouth Rock, with an open Bible.
The one Expresses man; the other dignifies
him. The one contemns toll, industry and
equality; the other unifes, equalizes, en-
dows- and fraternalizes. The one centers
authority in the few; the other franchises
the masses. Both could not live on the
same soil, so that war was inevitable.
These same conflicting ideas produced the
Rebellion. The Northern colonies believed
that the true government by the people was
attainable only by the unifcatiOn of the
race by equalizing privileges. Our fathers
harmonized, The experiment was made
and this nation was the result. This land
fell not from the heavens, neither was it an
accident, but through tolls and battles she
has won the honor she to-day wears. Here,
where are our peaceful homes and political
and social privileges, is the theater whose
stage is red with the bleea of martyrs who
died willingly for their country and its in
situations.
AT this point the speaker gave a picture
of the Squalid, SorrOwing, hoping armies
pushing their way through death to victory,
such picture as the veterans recognized as
true 1t is. sirS, a grand thing to live in
this country, but tonight we are reminded
of those who even died for their country.
They were our loved ones, friends, fellow
workmen, on both sides of the conflict, who
had been silent observers of events until the
hour of our nations peril struck, when they
rose from the plane of common citizenship
to that of courageous patriots. And, as they
wheeled into battle-line, they knew what
their choice meant. Here was given by the
speaker graphic description of what war
means. We do well to yearly meet to honor
their courage and their deaths. Twenty
years ago the flag was again unfurled over
the peaceful settlement of the conflict. But
the nations sorrow was not yet ended, for
amid the general hymn of praise for the end
of the war; the aSSasSin'S bullet sent the
nations leader to join the patriotic dead.
And from the grave he pleads with us all to
throw aside malice and to have ''charity for
all" Yes, for all-for all who have halted,
whom no earthly bugle can awaken-sleep-
ing in death, alike the soldier of the blue
and gray. / would say nothing to
lessen your honor and praise
for your sleeping comrades, nor
shall word of mine cast the slightest cen
sure on the memory of the fallen gray.
Over the graves of all alike place your flow
ers and offer the prayer of forgiveness.
First-These graves tell us that no OPPOSE
ton can break up this united nation. Sec
ond-That any good deed is OF enduring
value. Thrd-These graves pledge us to
the unfinished work of the dead. We are
their heirs and their debtors. Fourth
Gentlemen, you are called on by the MEM
cries of this occasion to be men, to be
patriots still, to guard this nation from all
danger. l will mention four dangers to
communism and illiteracy. Remember
that your obligations to the dead do not
cease with the tender tribute of flowers,
We must perfect this work. When the
springtime comes again we may notbe here.
BY all odds be Christian patriots, and to
this end love and study the Bible.

The heavy and general rains of yesterday
benefit all parties, and none more SO than
the log men. Fears have been entertained
that they would not be able to get their
drives through, but the rains of week ago,
augmented by yesterdays rains, brighten
the prospects OF their getting them through
The large sale of logs mentioned in yes
terday mornings GLOBE is viewed with
pleasure by those having logging interests
here, especially since it is learned that they
were sold at a good price. The log market
is decidedly stiff, and a considerable adj
vance in prices is almost certain. A few
such sales as have been made the past week
will clear the market here of logs.
