AFTER carefully reviewing Sena-
tor Logan's book the average Illinois
critic notes with profound satisrac-

other outbreak of Logan deserves the
severest censure if not well. founded,

SOME of the Union soldiers held an
indignation meeting, at Albany, N
7. on April 29th to protest against
Jefferson Davis taking part in laying
the corner. stone of a monument to
the Confederate dead, at Montgomery.
Ala. A number of fiery speeches
were made denouncing Jefferson Da.
WIS., calling him the arch conspirator
etc. the audience then adjourned to
the tune of John Browns Body"
In striking contrast, with this un-
called for display of passion, is the
following extract from the account of
the Montgomery occurrence published
In the Atalanta Constitution, the
leading paper of the South:
Here is the conclusion of the
whole matter. A reunited people.
chastened ann sobered; a strength.
ened government, cemented with the
blood of the brave and sanctifed by
half million graves; a cloud of sad
but heroic memories that, catching
the sur light of the new dispensation,
glorifes our national skies. Stron.
ger hearts, cooler heads, reader
hands, clearer vision, more sense
less passion. Above all, the unbend
ing providence of God worked out
through blood and tempest, and the
land smiling in the fullness of peace.
The decks of the Union cleared for
glorious future, and the States har.
bored forever in the Republic that
was conquered from England by
their common courage, bought by
their common courage. bought by
their common blood and fashioned
from their common wisdom. Let
the aggression of one section and the
Impotence of the other be lost in
the blaze Of their common glory.

For School Commfssioner

Dir. George G. Hodges, the present in
cumbent, is announced in another
column as a candidate for School Com.
missioner. We do not feel that it is
necessary to say anything concerning
him, more than to call the atten-
ton to the present condition
OF our schools, which are a monument
to his untiring zeal. He has made an
efficient add jealous officer, giving most
OF his time and attention to the duties
of his Office. If reelected he will con-
tinuc his good work, and make our
schools what they ought to be promoters
of morality and learning for the children
OF our county, and not mere easy places
for those who may teach them.
