last Sunday, at 2:57 p. m, in the sixty first
year of his age.
The news of his DEATH which was not
widely disseminated until Monday morning,
fell like a dark pail on the entire nation.
While il was known that he was confined to
his house with rheumatism, it was not known
nor generally understood that no was dan
gerously i'll; indeed, even in Washington his
death was wholly unexpected up to a very
few hours before it occurred.
AS a soldier, Gen. LOGAN was without a
peer among the volunteer officers of the late
war, being the only one who rose TO the per-
manent command of an army corps. He
enjoyed the proud distinction of never hav-
ing lost battle where he himself was in
command of the troops.
As a citizen and statesman he was equal
ly successful. The leader of his party in the
great state OF Illinois. siTewd, eloquent and
far-seeing, the same il true of his civil life as
he was leader and manager of the campaign.
There is "a wide, deep-seated conviction
throughout the land. and which is doubtless
correct, that had he occupied the first instead
of the second place on the republican ticket,
at the last National election, he would have
been elected TO the presidency.
The old veterans of the war will all mourn
his loss az they would that of near and
dear friend. In all the land, there was no
man who cherished their interests more
closely than did Comrade LOGAN. Twice
elected communicative of the grand
army of the republic, regarded by them az
leader, az well as friend and comrade,
there was no old soldier but was ready to
hurrah for LOGAN. His appearance at one
of their gatherings was always a signal for
tumultuous applause, and the hearty greeting
that he wasalways ready to receive and return,
from the humblest as well as the highest
was as warm and sincere in the one case as
in the other.
Good bye, old comrade, good bye We
shall never greet thee on earth again. but let
us hope that, in the great hereafter, there
may be grand reunion, where we shall once
more clasp hands, not only with our departed
comrade and commander, but with the grand
army of comrades who shall, with him, an
swer to the call of the roll by the Supreme
Commander of the universe.

The public debt of the United States is
less than that of any other of the great ma
tions of the earth, except Germany France
heads the list with about $4,000, 900. 900, and
yet, it is less than ten years since our green
back friends, from press and stump, used to
point with pride TO the example of France
and declare unblushingly that her debt was
all paid. Great Britain follows closely after
France with public debt of $4,000 900,
Russia owes $2,700,000,OOO Spain about
S2,600,000,000, while the debt of the United
States is less than $14O0,O 100000 The an
nual interest charge, per capita, for the diff
ferent nations is as follows; France, seven
dollars; Great Britain, four dollars; Spain,
three dollars; Russia, one dollar and forty
cents; United States, eighty-one cents.
Since the close of the war. one-half of the
public debt of this country has been paid
and the annual interest charge reduced
from S15l 100000, in round numbers, to
S47,O00,000. No other nation ever had such
a record and no other of the great powers is
making any attempt to pay it's debts. In the
language of the secretary of the treasury il

of its debt, the United States has been all

AND now it is the Brooklyn street car men
who strike, because the car compan-
les refuse to recognize the knights in their
negotiations with their men. Probably if
the companies had hired that order to run
their business for them, they would find no
trouble in obtaining recognition. 1t is diff
cult to see what right the knights of labor
az an organization, have to interfere with the
business of the car companies or, for that
matter. with anybody's business. Any other
secret order, the nasons, oddfellows, grand
army of the republic et as would have just
as much right to dictate as have the knights
of labor who, in some localities, appear TO
have undertaken to regulate the affairs of
other people, even if they starve in the vain
attempt. Whatever may be the merits of
the controversy, whoever may be right, COM
panies or employees, midwinter is bad
time to strike. bad time for men whose
families are dependent on their daily labor
for fuel and for bread to voluntarily quit
work, especially for an idea and at the dicta-
ton of someone who himself is not likely to
TO suffer by reason OF the strike. 1t is very
evident that, in some places at least, laboring
men are listening 20 foolish advisers and
the counsels of unwise leaders.

The relation of exercise to health is
plain. Any part that is not used grad
ually wastes and atrophies. The fishes
in Mammoth Cave have no use for eyes
in that darkness and Nature shows her

similarly, the over-use of part attracts

triment. and congestion or hyperesthe-
STA results. If, then. the nerves are
over-sensitive. the circulation should be
diverted into the muscles. Disease sell
dom finds Judgment when there is a
free and unimpeded circulation of the
blood to every part of the body.
Nearly the sum total of exercise taken
by those not engaged in manual labor.
is restricted TO the lower part of the
body, while the upper two-thirds which
ontains the vital organs is almost
wholly neglected. Thus it is that we
are tiat-chested and subject to pulmon-
airy difficulties, and for want of exercise
the muscles which support the internal
organs are ill-nourished and ilacid, and
yield to any sudden strain, or, some
times, almost spontaneously, it would
seem, collapse. Given we'll condi-
toned body, very little exercise, if
taken regularly and Systematically, will
keep it so, but without the expenditure
OF physical power. physical strength

Systems of exercise are often criticized

SENATOR BLAIR has introduced new pen
sion bill which ought to pass. The bill
virtually removes the limitation of the arrears
of pension act, makes the fact of enlistment
prtDld Jac5c proof OF physical soundness at
the time of entry into the service. grants
pensions to all persons who were disabled in
the service, whether actually enlisted or not,
and forbids the rejection of claim on evil
dence secretly obtained. 1t also provides for
the pensioning of that noble band of women,
the hospital nurses. These are the leading
provisions of the bill and are just and right.
If disabled soldier contracted disability in
cause he has been too proud TO ask it or has
neglected to apply for it, that his pension
should not date back TO the time OF his dis
charge from the service, neither should he
no be required to establish his physical
soundpess at the time of his enlistment The
fact that the government accepted his ser
vices, after having subjected him to physi-
cal examination, should be all the evidence
required on that point. And the custom Of
receiving secret affldavits from parties who
may, for any cause, desire 70 prevent the
allowance of pension claim cannot be too
soon discontinued. 1t violates all precedent
and is repugnant to all sense of propriety,
justice and right. If the government desires
to take additional testimony in reference to
claim, it should be taken openly and above
board and in such manner that the appli-
cant can have an opportunity to be heard in
defense. For great government to receive
secret testimony, the affidavit of some enemy
perhaps, for the purpose of beating an old
veteran out of his pittance of pension. is a
shameful outrage.

One FnAEo1s SuIvKRs of Detroit, deliber-
stely shot and killed his brother-in-law,
because-he says-his victim insulted lady
on the streets of that city, year or 80 prior
TO the murder. The defense was that SHIvERs
was laboring under mental hsllucination,
an insane impulse, in short that he was in.
sane Mt the time of the killing. The jury
however, found him guilty OF murder in the
first degree and he was promptly sentenced
TO Imprisonment for life. That was Just ss
it should be. Even concedipg the validity of
the defense, the judgment of the jury and
court was correct. Society has n right to
protect itself from just that kind of "insane
impulses" and, had he been acquitted, there
is no telling how soon he might have been
subjected to another one and another
victim have been sacrificed. The insanity
dodge al defense for tho commission of
crime has been carried to the uttermost
limit. II is time to call halt. A few such
verdicts and sentences "a wero rendered in
the SHIvERs case would, no doubt, prove a
preventative for good deal OF "emotional
insanity.
