JOHN A, LOGAN,

The death Of John A. Logan will
occasion greater shock throughout the
country than was created by the death
of General Grant, and not wholly be-
cause of its startling uneXpectedness
OF all the men now prominent in
public life, no one perhaps occupied a
place so near to the hearts of the pco.
pie. The strong and dominating CHAR
acteristics of his nature, with all their
outwardly SEEMING rusgedness, were
tempered by an aboundng sympathy
for his countrymen, whether Of low
or high degree. lie was essentially q
man of the people-ihoroughly perme.
ated with democratic Instincts, In the
highest and best sense Of the tcrm-and
il was in obedience to these impulses
that he early allied himself with the
fortunes of Stephen A. Douglas, in
whose sterling patriotism and progress
i've craftsmanship his faith was SUI
preme.
With all his faults of temper and
errors ofjudgment, aud amidst all the
partisan prejudiccs that were from
time to time arrayed against him, Gen
eral Logan never lost his hold upon the
popular esteem.
His heart was always in the right
place with the old friends and neigh.
bors, whose frontier hardships he
shared in carly life-with the veteran
soldiers, whom he led TO the front
with his constituents, who sought his
aid or influence in the halls of Con
gress-with the Union which he
risked all and achieved so much to
save.
Ii is for these reasons that his loss is
so intensely and universally deplored.
His going out is like that of an old and
dear friend whom everybody knew, and
in whose character everybody found
something to admire.
AS commanding general in the
army his record forms large and en-
during part of the history of the war
for the Constitution. He was brave
soldier, humane officer, heroic
leader. As a statesman, though he
never made claim to eminent distinc.
tion, he leaves the memory of a safe
and honest legislator, who never advo.
Gated measure as to the wisdom or
benefits of which he was not morally
convinced. In times of corruption he
was incorruptible. In times of public
exigency he was never timid or
irresolute.
General Logan's character is espe-
cally to be admired, and becomes
peculiarly worthy of emulation from
the fact that he carried the virtues
which distin guished his private walk
and conversation iuto all the other rea.
tions of life. He was the same frank,
generous, open handed man here,
there and everywhere.

a RAILWAY RACE IN IOWA.


The moon was bright, the air was keen,
Like cleaning blades two tracks shone
faiT
Two engines tossed their plumes Of steam,
Like listed knights named Do and
Dare
The baggage, cars and the express,
with stately "Pullmdns' not few,
Rolled steadily beneath the stress
OF those mad racers, Dare and Do.
Level the road beds, fair the farms,
Pleasant the groves and homestelds tlerc,
But for our eyes earth had no charms
Save those wild sleeds called Do and Dare
Windows went up and Indies waved
Their 'kerchieis waite IN tourney new;
While men, With hats, canes, brooms, be

But all the while that engineer,

IN my swift thought that knew no fear,

TIE Gas QUESTION.

The Sunday Herald suggests several
pertinent reasons why it would be un-
wise to charter new gas company as Il
means of obtaining the relief which the
present gas monopoly seems unwilling
10 give. The Herdld says;
The results of competition between gas
companies in other cities have not always
been better and cheaper gas for the people,
They have more frequently been the con
sOlidation of the companies into o monop-
oily more powerful than the first. Even If
a new company Is not swallowed up by the
old one, 1t may be equally grasping. The
remedy does not lie In the direction of
more pipes, more malodorous gasometers
more corporations. If the present company
does not do its work satisfactorily, let the
Government purchase its plant and manu-
facture the gas for us.
This is the position taken by The
CmTIc last winter when the gas ques-
tion was before the Senate Committee.
We argued with all the ability and
energy at our command that the only
way out OF the grievances Of which the
people complain was through con
demnation of the works of the Wash.
ington Gaslight Company by the Gov.
eminent. 1t is, what it looks like, n
sweeping and summary remedy; but
all desperate diseases require heroic
treatment.
1t is true that the Gas Company has
recently made a reduction in its prices,
yet loud complaints continue to be
heard in some cases that bills are as
large as ever that charges are made
for gas not consumed that the price
paid, even If the bills are satisfactory,
is still too high, and that the quality of
the illuminaut furnished Is very far
from what it should, or purports to, be.
And these complaints are sure TO be
iterated with more or less Justice 50
long as private corporation, intent
upon declaring big dividends, is per.
mitted to enjoy It's mUnopolistlc and
money.making privileges.
To charter new company would be
the height Of folly or worse. This
proposition is well disposed of by our
Sunday contemporary.
No; We want no more costly and
Tuinous experiments of that kind.
What is needed is a transfer Of the
present plant to the Government for
such a consideration as may be agreed
on or otherwise determined. In that
case, the Government becoming the
manufacturer, could not only save
largely on Its own consumption, but
furnish gas to the people Of Washing

JOHN A. LOGAN,

Far up the heights of towering cliffs,
Whose base is bulwark to the land
Against the fierce invading waves,
A huge rock hewn by NATURES hands
And polished by a thousand storms,
Stands sentinel to all the land
And beacon to the boundless sea.
II falls by that All Powerful Hand,
Which set 1t in its lofty place,
And hurtliDg down from crag to crag,
1t shakes the quick responding earth
And rests at last beneath the sea,
Forever hid from all the world.
But where 1t stood is boldly marked,
Aud up the heights Of towering ellis,
The vacancy its fall has made
To coming millions is unchanged,
through coming ages is untitled.
