Logan Reelected.

SPRINGFIELD, HI, May l9--Gen-
eral John A. Logan, was to-day cleo
ted to succeed himself as United
States Senator from Illinois. There
was intense excitement, the galleries
aud lotbieS of the House being pack
ed to suffocation.
Fifty-one Senators and one hun
dred and fifty three Representatives
were present. When the vote was
taken a dead silence prevailed. The
Democrats refused TO vote. The Re
publican Senators all voted for Lo-
gan, giving him twenty-siX votes.
Bugers' vote was received with
cheers. When Sittig was called, in
a long speech explaining his position
he voted for Logan under protest,
and the announcement was receiV
ed with the widest cheers. Thi~
gave the vote as 1903 for Logan. On
the call of the absentees the Demo.
cIats voted and solidIy for Judge
Lambert Tree. After the roll-call
Baker, McNary, MrAbnpy, Caldwell,
Quinnard and Crafts changed their
votes to Charles B. Farwell. Barry
Dem changed his vote to John A q.
Logan and the widest confusion pre-
vailed.
The announcements of Logan's cleo
ton was not made Immediately, the
Democrats changing to Farwell and
trying to drive all their men in, but
no Republican showed any inclina-
ton to leave Logan. No Republican
support having gone to Farwell,
Speaker Haines finally announced
the vote, declaring Logan elected.
WAsHINGToN, May 2O-At one
O'Clock this morning the people OF
this city were reused from their sleep
by the reports of cannon fred from
the White lot. There was some ex-
element and considerable anxiety to
learn what it meant. Among those
disturbed in their slumbers was Pres
ident Cleveland, who, like every.
body else, was puzzled az the demon.
stration, and made eager inquiry OF
the White House Waterman as to the
cause of the extraordinary proceed.
ing. 1t was ascertained that the
firing was in honor of Gen. Logan's
reelection. The committee in charge
secured very quietly, late in the after
noon, a permit for a salute of one hun
dred guns, and selected one O'Clock in
the morning as the hour to honor
Gen. Logan. 1t had the effect OF
bringing large number of persons
out on the streets, and some of them
particularly the Democrats-did not
seem to relish the idea Of having theil
sleep broken after they found out
what it all meant.

Striking All on q Personal CHRIST.


To TIE EDITOR OF The NEW
YORK SUN-,SH: The Congress of
Churches at Hartford has just closed
with an earnest call upon all Chris
tinns Of whatsoever sect to rally
around the historical Christ. The
Rev. James Freeman Clarke, Unlta-
rian, opened the discussion on the
last day by saying: "Around this
divinely human character, Son Of
God and Son of man, Christians must
one day unite" President Robin
son, of Brown University, Baptist,
said 81 will stake all on the per-
sonal Christ" And President Por-
ter, of Yale College, Congregational,
eXuitantly said: I'VE come nearer
the historical life of Christ in these
days then has been possible at. any
time since the first century"
The key note of this trumpet call is
the same as that sounded by the Rev.
Augustus Blauvelt Of Kingston ten
years ago in the H2depe0dej1t. 70
save the belief in the leading spiritu-
al features of Christianity he said it
was necessary to abandon the dogma
of Biblical inspiration as ian egregi-
Gus orthodox ah~urdity," and defend
Christianity as "a purely historical
question" And in taking this posi-
ton DR.. Biauvelt showed that he
was supported by some of the abiest
Christian authorities.
But what followed that bold at
tempt to induce change Of base ?
Two years later Dr, B'auvelt was
suspended by the Chassis Of Kingston
! for heterod0Xy, and upon appeal to
the General Synod the decision of the
Chassis was affirmed.
1t may tie that the Hartford Cou-
greS5 has been cautious to avoid say
ing anything about inspiration; but
in stalking all on the personal
Christ" is not inspiration practically
abandoned
Dr. Blauvclt'3sad experience ought
to qualify him to give some sage al
vice to his brethern who still retail
their pulpits and other high places.

The Philadelphia coal operators
di~credit the report from Pittsburg to-
the effect shat the Pratt mines, locat-
ed near Birmingham, Ala, were
shipping coal into Northern mar
kets. "They may have sent some
samples Of superior coal, perhaps gas
coal, into the Pittshurg market from
Alabama" said Mr.. White, of the
firm of Berwind, White & Co., "but
their soft Goals cannot come into

BOytOn'S Torpedo Exploit.

HALIFAX, May 17.-Much excite
ment prevails in naval circles here
oyer a court martial now in progress
against the Lieutenant Of her Males
ty's ship Garnet, who was in charge
Of the watch when Boyton's boat was
caught alongside the Garnet, in New
York harhor, for letting its occupants
90 free, instead of holding them pris-
Oners until he had communicated
with his superiOrs. Admiral Sir John
COmmerell was much eXasperated by
Capt. BOyton's exploit in affiXing the
torpedo to the Garnet, and on the
day the ship arrived in Halifax the
Lieutenant on watch was placed un
der arrest. Sir John then ordered
the organization of court of inquiry
to investigate Capt. Hands manage
ment of the G0I1et frOm the time she
left Norfolk until her arrival in Hail
fax, with special instructions to as
certain all the facts Of BOytOn's mid
night torpedo expedition. The court
has been sitting for two days. The
result will be summit, d to naval
headquarters in London, with the
probability that Capt. Hand and the
officers on watch that night will he
court martialed for endan9ering the
safety Of the vessel by neglecting to
take necessary precautions against
tOrpedOeS, etc., from Fenian dyna-
miters or other hostile sources. The
court is composed of Captains of the
war ships Northampton, IeaeClos, and
Fdnt0n1e, with Admiral CONNER, II
presiding. AS soon as the inyestiga.
ton is concluded the small gunbcats
will depart for the Newfoundland
fishery protection service.
The statement is made that "if the
sentinel on the deck of the Garnet
had not been the stupidest man on
the boat, Boyton would have been
shot as soon as discovered"

Commodore Garrison is dead but
his early feats seem to live after BIN.
1t is reported that in his early, burly
youth when he was mere common
everyday captain he threw a barrel
of -four with a man sitting on it into
the lake at Chicago. Another story
told of him is that he rescued a friend
from twelve MeXicans in saloon on
the Texan border. He is reputed to
have broken the neCks Of two men on
this occasion and to have fractured
the skull of another with n blow of
his fist. Still he was a great-hearted

Be Honorable.

Boys and young men sometimes
start out in life with the idea that
ones success depends on sharpness
and chicanery. They imagine if a.
man is always able to get the best
of IA bargain" no matter by what de-
ceit and meanness he carries his point,
that his prosperity is assured, That
is great mistake. Enduring pros
pprty cannot be founded on cunning
and dishonesty. The tricky and de-
ceitful man is sure to fall victim,
sooner or later, to the influences which
are forever working against him. His
house is built upon the sand, and it's
foundation will be certain to give
way, Young people cannot give
these truths too muah weight. The
future of that young man is safe who
esch"WS every shape of double-deal~
ing, and lays the foundation of his
career in the enduring principles of
everlasting truth.

Retrenchment and Reform.

For a long time Democrats and
Democratic journals have been earn
estly endeavoring to make the people
believe the Republican party had
been reckless and eXtrayagant in the
expenditure of public money, and
that the welfare and safety Of the
country demanded retrenchment and
reform. We believe there are a great
many people who think retrench-
ment is a good thing, especially for
the other follow, and there are many
Democrats of the old SimOn-pTe-dyed-
in-the acOOL persuasion, who regard
retrenchment as first class thing for
Republicans, but "nary" retrench
ment for the Democracy. Oh no;
that would never do. The DemOc'
racy have as great variety Of styles
of inaugurating reforms and practic-
ting economy as the ladies have in
spring hats. Very novel, too, are
some of these modes of enforcing re-
trenchment. The Democrats Of Oak
land are Wide-aWake set Of fellows;
always looking out for the main
chance eyerready to take advantage
of favorable wind and fair wea Their;
always eager to occupy position
which will add strength to the party
Yes, sir, all for the party.
Our Democratic brethren of Oak
land have just occupied an advanced
position on the question Of reform,
one, in fact, which may cause Re
publicans hereabOutS to shed many
bitter tears. Look at the past, fellow
Republicans, and think of the many
favorable opportunities for the eXer.
else of economy and reform which
you have allowed to slip through
your fingers unimproved. This is
bad enough, but it would not have
been so bad if the Democrats had not
taken advantage Of the first OppOrtu-
nifty which presented itself. The OPP
portunity came when the town Coun-
Gil met on Monday night last to
appoint town baiifT. There we!e
several applicants. All good and
true Democrats. The bids were from
SIS to $40 per month. Our Burgess
and Commissioners also tried and

main chance, aiming to strengthen
the party, and guarding faithfully the
interests Of the people. concluded to

Very little money for the streets, not
enough to keep the town lighted on
dark nights. but lots of collateral for

stroke in favor of retrenchment, with
a very large r. If our economical
Burgess and Commissioners will con-
duct all the business of the corpora
ton upon the same principles which
seemed to govern them in the ap.
pointment of Bailiff they will doubt
less accomplish something for their
party and cause the people to renaena-
Der them long after they have lain
aside their official robes.
What an OakI land Democrat don't
know about retrenchment and reform
would fill several columns in this
valuable journal.

That was clever trick by which
the Republicans Of the third district
of Ilin0is outwitted their Democratic
opponents at the special election last
week. The district is overwhelming
ly Democratic. The Republicans pre-
tended it was not worth while to
make contest and they would leave
the election go by default. The re-
suit was the Democrats were thrown
nif their guard, took things easy, and
did not turn out in their strength to
vote. The Republicans at the last
moment put w. A. Weaver on the
track, turned out in their strength
and before their opponents could re-
cover their senses had pOIled enough
votes to elect their man. The result
gives the RpUuhlirans majority on
joint ballot. and will secure the elec-
ton of Republican United States
