Those iFiends OF General Logan who
have regretted that no took his stand
against an investigation OF the Payne
charges, will much more regret the Pc
cullar speech in which he has seen ut to
defend himself. The fundamental error
Of the speech is the gross mIsFepTessnta'
ton Of the public criticisms Of his vote
against investigation.
General Logan assumes that only 'hoae
Republicans have spoken who arc h's
enemies, men eager at all times to do AIN
injury, seizing upon the present oPportu'
pity as slording a convenient prelexe iof
Lrs,inc him down with adverse cFiti'
cism. Ii General Logan could hear the
mater discussed by Republicans who
have long admired him as u public man
who glory in his brilliant record as a SOL
der, Le would appreciate, what does not
vat seem to have taken hold OF his mind
that those who have the warmest feeling
for him are those who most deeply regret
his courssin the Payne matter.
If he could look Into the hearts OF these
Republican,, whose voice does not reach
him, he would know that they do not
charge him with having been corrupted
that suggestion they instantly gcouted, Tor
they believe in h!S rugged honesty and
they zee that after a long public career liz
remains poor. These Republicans we're
Mt fist s~tuuued-they did not know why
Logan had done this thing. They have
not cssfcd to be panied.
II does not follow that they want to I4lI
IN him and rend him, to throw him 10 the
ds,ouripg wolves, or even to humiIiate
him. They simply do not understand a
course which grieyes them, and they have
not nurted their grief in silence. This
feeling General Logan has failed to Nppre-
ciatc, and wO must think that to this 10
due the unfortunate error Of his speech.
The speech was not like the speech Of
Logan in his right mind. ltlsCkcd tho
dignity which BELTS a speech in tho high
forum in which he spoke. II wanted tue
Lofty tone which should mark y Senator's
speech on great occasion. The matter
OF the Payne investigation being before
the Senate he should have thought it
enough to give his reasons for opposing an
invps,ivntinn. That would have saved him
from the bad taste Of q personal wrangle
with Mr.. Halstead, who has no voice on
that floor, and from the unbecoming pos
ture of gelf abasement which he assumed
for tho purpose Of overwhelming MI. Hal.
stead with sarcasm.
Mr.. ualslpad is not On trial before tho
country. Mr., Payne is. General Logan
has assumed towards Mr.. Payne's case an
attitude Which his friends among the
common people do not understand.
General Logan's position is made no
palmer by his putting Mr.. Halsteud in the
pillory, and the matter would not be help.
ed II he we're to crop Mr.. Halstead's ears
or put upon him any other indelllble
brand OF inlamy. Mr.. HalsLead is not the
only Republican who thinks and feels and
talks about the Payne case, and so for as
we have been able to SEQ ho is not entitl.

al Logan has conferred upon him.

s'OH, what tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive"
Murphy of Iowa was the special champion
of the Hennepin canal scheme. 1t was
all his political capital, except silky
beard of most aristocratic proportions
which gave him an air of craftsmanship.
He always went around with speech in
his pocket on the merits of the Hennepin
canal. He never believed a word be
said on this subject but he was loaded
with statistics and his advocacy of the
measure was always noted in the papers
| favorable to the scheme. The writer
had never the pleasure of seeing Murphy
but once and during all that time
Murphy was nothing but the Hennepin
canal. 1t was at the Waterways Con
vention at st. Paul, and everyone would
| willingly have assented to the building
| of the canal if it would only dry Murphy
up. And now he is beaten for the
nomination to congress. Who will be
the champion of this steal now when it
| could not save its greatest advocate?

DELANEY has begun the battle and
through the papers. 1t seems Delaney
has an organ, the Juneau Telephone, and
it seems the paper carries its subserviency
to the degree of submitting for his judg-
ment, proof sheets of its editorials
Such paper is nice thing to have
Delaney can publish in it from time to
time all the little scraps of evidence which
go to prove that Bragg had no intention,
until recently. Of being candidate for
re election. Of course The Telephone
will do some moulding" on public opin-
ion, and try to mould it favorable to
Delaney. This "moulding' has become
a recognized industry and legitimate
part of a newspaper business. The pa
per without "mould" is not we'll equip
ped. And then the accommodating edi-
tor of The Telephone submits his mould
ing material to Mr.. Delaney who sees it
is well designed for its purpose. Then
public opinion Is taken by chunks and
pressed into the required shape. There's
nothing like having an organ.

Ii is q touching sight when John
Sherman with his skirts bedraggled in
the mire of the dirtiest politics ever con-
cocted by men devoid of every vestige of
honesty, asks that for the honor of the
senate, the manner in which Senator
Payne was elected, should be inyesti-
gated. Sherman is the last man who
should ask that others be investigated.
How the shadow of Eliza Pinkston must
have lowered near while he was engaged
IN his hypocritical plea. There can be
no doubt that money was used in the
election of Payne. If it were not, his
election would be the solitary exception
to the rule. But never could there be
any such villiany in the election of Payne
as John Sherman had hand in during
the troubles pending the Inauguration OF
Hayes. John Sherman must have lost
The capacity to blush.

The Prairie du Chen Courier is very

The Prairie du Chen Courier is very
original paper. A slight acquaintance
will invariably result in chasing it a
''spoils organ" But more thorough
acquaintance shows it to be consistent,
unseltish, and though favoring the spoils
system, it is because it honestly believes
the democratic party can be strengthened
by being put in possession of the offices.
1t is no hero worshiper and there is per-
haps not another paper in the state which
could champion the distribution of the
spoils and maintain its dignity as the
Courier has. But The Courier forgets a
certain class of local politicians who are
apt to confound themselves with the
democratic party. When they push their
own political fortunes they fancy they
are doing service to their party. BY
virtue of boiling Office they have become
workers and local bosses. Holding office
is party service. They want the spoiIs
either for themselves or friends. No
party csn be strengthened by any organ
ization perfected by such men.

ENGLAND, to day, with government
organized in opposition to Irish home
rule, is the old conservative England
refusing to yield anything to the liberal
spirit of the times and with its face
turned toward the past. Under Glad
stones leadership Great Britain was
taking rapid strides toward democracy.
1t was the peoples rule in more COM
plete sense than that presented by the
United States. But Salisbury is a con-
sentative, not to the extent of restoring
the old dynasty in which the king was
the source of all powor. Nor would he
built up a strong government at the ex-
pense of the liberties of the people as
Bismarck has done. But if he would
not make the house of lords supreme, he
would at least place it beyond the power
of the commons to abolish or injure or to
curteil its power. He is an able man
but his abilities will not be exercised in
extending privileges to the common peo-
pie. To him they are but governmental
adjuncts and he would rather see Eng
land strong than its people happy.
Gladstone Lifted III Inc people too rapid
~ for them to appreciate the powers he
gave them. A few years of the Salisbury
government will teach them the value of
Gladstone's services and they will yearn
for his policy when there will be none
with capacities for carrying it out. The
progress of democracy is stayed for a
time in England.

THE trial OF the anarchists in Chicago
is growing in interest as the evidence of
a bloody conspiracy develepes. 1t is
certain that the bloodthirsty talk hereto
fore laughed at as stage thunder will no
longer be tolerated. The anarchists
themselves are not dangerous as they
are a lot of blowhards and towards.
But in periods of disturbance their blood
thursty talk leads men of courageinflamed
by passion to commit crimes. One
sensational feature of the trials is the
testimony OF detectives who were present
at the meeting of the anarchists as
members of the organization.

The unifcation of Germany resulted
in the building up of grand empire
which caused the German heart, every
where, to expand with pride. But it is
extremely doubtful whether it was best
for the many dependent monarchies. 1t
is practically the Prussian and not the
German empire. 1t is said that the feel
ing that Bavaria vas no longer King
dom drove Ludwig into hopeless insanity,
though he had prodisposition toward
it. Before many years pass there will
be born a wish in the German heart that
the empire be dismembered.

FRED HORN denies in vituperative
manner the charge that he is writing let,
tiers to prominent Germans of this dis
trict asking that he be supported for
congress on his nationality, offers
The Pilot the very liberal sum of 500
for the production of letter of that
tenor, and then calls the editor "lying
scamp" One such letter was addressed
to Theodore Kersten of Chiffon. The
Pilots informant had the contents of the
letter related to him by a gentleman who
read it. Now will Mr.. Horn invite Mr..
kersten to publish the letter and thus
settle the question of who is lying? 1t
will be much more effective than calling
names, which is an undignifed proceed
ing for any one who claims to have been
a school mate of Bismarck and politi-
can Of national repute. Mr.. Kersten is
a gentleman whose word will receive un-
questioning credenee wherever he is
known, and should he say he has received
no such letter it remains for The Pilot
to give the name of the person who
claims TO have read it.

THE plague in the village of Waterford,
in eastern papers. The laws of health,
so far as cleanliness is concerned, are
perhaps more frequently violated in the
country than in the city. Ventilation is
never thought of until the discomforts of
heat drive people to it not for pure air,
but for cool air. The cesspooi is always
near the dwelling house and garments
saturated with sweat are slept in. The
country must indeed be healthy place
when the rule of mortality is not greater
with SO many disregarding all hygienic
laws. But the trouble may come sud-
denly as at Waterford

ANYONE who follows the testimony in
the anarchist trials at Chicago must be
impressed with the extreme danger which
constantly threatened the police or large
gathering of business men. These
anarchists had educated the people to
the belief that murder was no crime
They were arrant towards themselves,
not daring to commit any overt act but
diligent in Speeding dissatisfaction and
disregard for law. Hanging is the only
remedy IN their case.

THE Saengerfest was made the occasion
of visit to Milwaukee by many of the
more notorious of the light fingered
gentry. On Monday the police station
was quite we'll filled with captured crooks,
but there was no evidence upon which
they could be convicted. These crooks
are often arrested; they look upon this
rs a more incident of their calling, but
it is rarely that evidence can be gathered
on which they can be convicted.

CAPTAIN FOSTER who is now Mrs.
Crawfords lover, testified quite strongly
against Dixie and 1t is thought that
duel will result because of the unneces-
sarily strong language used by Foster in
speaking of Dixie. The opinion is by
no means limited that Dixie is the victim
of a conspiracy. Certain it is that Mrs.
Crawford is total stranger to modesty
or virtuous feeling. 1t is cause for
regret that n.an of his standing and
promise should have his career cut short
by liason with such q woman.
