THE ONE CERTAIN THING.
Providence Journal.
One thing is certain. 1t is a verdict against
the incompetence of the Democratic MAORI
ty in the present House Of Representatives
IT WILL NOT BE MISSED.
Boston Transcript.
If it be true that President Cleveland is
pleased with the result of Tuesdays cleo
tons throughout the country, it shows what
he thinks of the Democratic majority in
Congress.
THE FREE TRADE CRAB.
Lowell Courier.
The protectionists nearly cleaned out Car
Isle, and they scared Springer almost to
death. They laid out Morrison and Hurd-
cold. Non-protection don't seem to be adj
vancing except in crab fashion.
A MIscALcULATIoN.
North American
During the past year 7S9 barroom licen-
ses were issued in Washington, an increase
of los over the previous year. 1t is evident
that the saloon keepers did not anticipate
the defeat OF so many Democratic Congress
men.
THE WRONG WAY.
New York Sun.
Fuller returns than we have yet from some
of the closely contested Congress districts
will be needed before any man can say
whether the Democratic majority in the
next House will be 10 or 8, or even 6. In the
present House the Democrats have MAORI
ty of 43. IL is good deal of revolution,
but it is revoluti on the wrong way.

The flop over in Colorado is probably
traceable to the attitude of the Democratic
house toward silver. Colorado makes a
good thing out of the present coinage law,
being able to dump large part of its annual
product upon the government. The vote
last winter in the House showed that there
was more Democrats than Republicans in
favor Of continuing the law. Hence Colo
RADIO infers that her principal industry will
be safer with Democratic house than with
Republican and accordingly votes. She is

some English bankers have sold off their

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup, within a few years. has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and cfectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff
ferent principle from the usual prcscrip.
tons given by ph~ysicinns, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the ans of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in Il purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills
and a long spell Of serious illness. A trial
will convince yo" of these facts. It. is
positively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price. 70 cents, large

THERE is more potency Of happiness,
prosperity, education snd advancement
for workingmen in the abstinence which
each has it in his power to practice than
in all the enaclments that organized labor
may succeed in placing on the statute
books. Three dollars a day and abstin-
ence are worth undoubtedly more than the
largest of incomes coupled with habits OF
dissipation-even with drinking habits
stopping short of intoxication.

The sudden death of Gen. John \.
Logan removes another shining light
from the political horizon. Anoble soldier,
an able statesman, and a most prominent
figure in the history of this country for
the last twenty-five years. John A. Logan
had endeared himself to the hearts of the
American people by his indomitable cour-
age, his great ability as a legislator aud
his sterling honesty of purpose in all his
undertakings. The masses of the people
will more deeply regret his death than
that of any public man since Grant
died.
John A. Logan was born in jackson
county, Ills, Feb. 1926; he received a
limited common school education, and on
the outbreak of the war with Mexico en-
listed as a private in the LIST Illinois vol
unteers, of which regiment he became
auartermastcr with the rank OF first lieu
tenant. Returning at the close Of the
war, he was elected clerk of the court in
his native county in 1919; in 1852 he
graduated at the Louisville university and
was admitted to the bar, attaining popu-
hrity and success in his profession; vas
elected to he state legislature in 1852,
1853, 1856 and 1857, and was prosecuting
attorney lS53-57; was elected to the
United Stated congress in 1853; and again
in 1860. resigning his seat to enter the
army; in September 1851, was APP
pointed colonel Of the 3lst Illinois
volunteers. which he led at the
battle of Belmont in November;
at Fort Donelson in February, 1862, he
was wounded and the following month
appointed a brigadier general Of voiun-
teers, engaged at Pittsburg landing in
April, and in the West until November,
1862, when he was promoted to be major
general. Throughout the Nicksburg
campaign he was in command of a divis-
ion of the 18th corps, and vas distin-
guished at Port Gibson, Champion hills
and in the siege and surrender Of Vicks-
burg In October, 1868. he was placed
in command of the 10th corps, which he
led with great credit until the death of
