TIE republican party must have either
stumbled onto proposed popular meas.
ure, or else that party has shrewd
knowledge of human nature. There ia
10 other article of consumption the price
of which is more closely watched than that
of tobacco. There are very few people who
can tell you the extremes in the price Of
tea or coffee, and there are very few who
cannot tell you tho highest price paid for
tobacco as well as the lowest and the
tim6a together with the causes. One
hears regretfully, to-day, Of the time whis-
key sold for 15c, per gallon. The re-
publican party will strike it rich by TAX
ing the tax off these things while leaving
il on necessaries. But "sll the same" it
should not be done. Vanderbilt some
times used great discernment in speaking
OF the people.

THE republican scheme is to take the
tariff tax off sugar. This, of course,
would leave the sugar grower of Louisi-
ana TO compete with the sugar grower of
Cuba, and American labor would be re-
dnced to the condition of the paupe-
labor Of Europe. Bat to protect Ameri
ran labor aud save it from the 'pauper

sugar producers two cents per pound foI
every pound of sugar manufactured

FoR years inventors have had but lit
tie property right in their Inventions
They are generally the employees OF
some corporation and their work is solely
for the benefit of the parties employing
them. This has been put on the ground
that the time of the inventor Was the
property of the employer and that which
was produced during that time became
the property of the person whose time
WAS nsed. But the United States SUI
preme court have settled this matter by
deciding that unless the inventor has
been hired as an inventor, bis patents are
his own and he cannot be forced to az
sign them to the corporation employing
him

WOMAN suffrage is making such rapid

something forced upon the women. 1t

GENERAL JONI A. LOGAN died .

GENERAL JONI A. LOGAN died ut
Washington on Sunday afternoon. He
mad not been sick for long time and it
was only when the end was near that the
doctors fully appreciated the danger
He suffered great pain bat bore it With
out complaint except when groans were
wrung from him by excess OF pain.
General Logan was born in 1926, three
years after his father had come from
Ireland. The education he received Was
quite limited as then the custom had not
grown to send boys to college, particu-
arly those in the western states. Logan
entered the Mexican war as private, but
soon reached the rank of lieutenant. He
was a democrat before the war and Was
elected to congress by that party. He
was devoted supporter of Douglas, and
always insisted that had Douglas lived
he would have been the greatest general
of the war, as he fully realized the mag
nitude of the contest, and had with pro
phetic view seen just what was needed
to put the war down. Logan was in
Congress when the war opened. But he
Joined regiment on it. way to the bat
tie of Bull Run and fought bravely in the
ranks Later he resigned his seat in
congress aud enlisted. His promotion
WAS rapid but not in advance of his de-
serts. He remained in the services until
the war closed. He was a man of great
personal bravery and very quick to act
in any emergency. He was the ablest
of the volunteer generals. Logan has
had a great deal of experience in public
life. His chief characteristics have been
fearlessness and honesty. He wss q
natural orator, lacking in polish but not
in force. He had voice OF wonderful
strength and sweetness and this together
with his eloquence and earnestness made
him powerful orator on the stump
Native eioquence in the senate is looked
down upon. But Logan became an eff
ective speaker even in the senate. It was
force of mind and indomitable courage
which always won him success. The
backwoods orator brought his mind to
| bear on questions of craftsmanship and
| if he did not master them he, at least
comprehended them to the extent of re
ceiving a respectful hearing from those
who would not listen to hollow eloquencs.
| Logan is a serious loss because Of his
| honesty and the fearless manner in which
he expressed his opinions. He was
charged with demagoguery in sold SOL
der" matters. Possibly, he had some
thought of the effects it might have on
his political fortunes. But Logan was
more sincere in his regard for old soldiers
than many who benefit more through the
sentiment.

THE Madison Democrat asks the local
papers with which it condescends to e1-
change, to publish statements which
must be an aggravation. Indeed it is
not easy to see how any local pepper can
give place to these advertisements as they
are all in praise of The Democrat and
reflect upon every other weekly paper in
the state. Any parsr should have more
pride than to insers any advertisement
decrying itself and all its cossmporaries
in the interests of selfish sheet which
thus airs its conceit in such offensive
manner.

4 person can get rome idea of the value

Lady Colin Campbell had to pay Russell
