SENATOR LoGAN's ASPIRATIONS.

The conviction is fast settling down on
the press of the East that Senator Logan
is hard at work arranging to secure the
Republican nomination for the Presi-
dency when the national convention
shall next assemble. The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Sun sends
to the journal he represents the following
interesting communication with regard to
Sable Johns aims and intents:
WASHINGTON, March 25.-When the ad-
vocates of Logan's proposed increase of the
army are requested to justify that policy,
they do not pretend that any public neces-
sity exists for adding five thousand men to
the present force. The country is at peace.
No complication threatens our intercourse
with foreign powers. The Indian troubles
on the frontier are reduced TO a minimum
General Logan became highly excited on
Tuesday, when he supposed a suggestion
had been made that the new force, if
granted, was to be used rs means of intimi-
dating the people. The Senator from
bills rather than have the dear people be-
lieve he was anything else than their devoted
friend. He poses as their peculiar champion,
but he begins to see that he made mistake
in proposing an increase of the army, by
which threat is held in one hand and n
bill for now taxes in the other.
| II is very evident that the Presidential bee
is buzzing in the Generals bonnet more furi-
ously than ever. He has carried war into
the Edmunds camp by the resolution to open
the doors of the Senate on nominations TO
office; and he has indirectly attacked Blaine
| as the instigator of n detection on his Army
bill. Our Own Evarts may fall under his
| tomahawk any day. He has already irrever-
emily described him as "the little cuss who
wants to be President" John Sherman, too
| is not safe from Logan's wrath.
In fact, all the Republican aspirants fol
the White House may well stand in dread OF
an explosion from the Senator in his present
| state of mind. Prudence is not one of his
peculiar virtues. He cannot be patient ant
wait for fortune to smile. He insists or
being the preferred candidate before the
convention meets. His zeal to make I
spoon too quickly may spoil horn.

BELLIGERENT GREECE.

Our dispatches OF yesterday indicate
that little Greece is very restless under
the restraint imposed upon her by the
Powers. If there is good foundation for
the rumor that it is intended to mobilize
the National Guards, then that may be
taken as evidence that she has not yet
abandoned her intention of entering upon
war with the unspeakable Turk, whom
she loves with the same sort of affection
that the devil is popularly supposed to
entertain for holy water.
The belligerent Greeks, however, aie
held in check by England and other
Powers, who are interested in maintain
ing peace in that quarter just at this par
ticular time, since the outcome might
prove to be OF very unpleasant charac-
ter. Ii Greece should 60 to war with
Turkey, Servia would be bound to assist
Greece, and Prince Alexander and his
Bulgarian forces would be drawn into the
fight again. Austria would be called
upon to help Servia, and with Germany
and Russia supporting Greece, Johnny
Bull would have to look after the inter-
ests OF the Sick Man, and there would be
military circus in which all Europe
would have to participate.
1t is difficult to see how Greece can
look quietly Oh while Bulgaria is advanced
to supremacy in the Balkan peninsula,
and that she will not do it, unless the
Powers continue to restrain her, is almost
a certainty. But war started now be.
tween Greece and Turkey would be
fraught with danger to the peace OF al
Europe, and knowing that, the Powers
may conclude to prevent the first shot
being fired, and thus avoid danger
which all are fearful Of

MARY ANDERSON.

Even as a revelation received from the
gods OF genius who, but once in the span
of life, deign to favor poor mortals with q
glimpse OF the possibilities which wait
upon those who live within the shadow
of their greatness, so last evening upon
the senses OF vast, expectant audience,
burst the presence of this lovely and in
spired actress.
Truly, with becoming grace Miss An
derson can wear upon her brow the chap
let OF well-carned fame which proclaims
her the queen OF American actresses. In
Gilbcrt's "Pygmalion and Galatea," per-
formed before delighted audience at
the Salt Lake Theatre, surely such com
bnation Of loveliness and talent never
before essayed the production OF that
charming mythological comedy. As
the marble statue, presenting Il
picture OF transcendant loveliness,
and then as the beautiful crea-
ture to whom the gods have given
life, innocent OF all the ways of the world
Dub CTGutcu WIFI COliSuIliuS Iiosioh vi
love for the man whose master hand
gave graceful outline to her once marble
form, the spectacle was one never to be
forgotten and which cannot be fifty
described.
1t has been said that no one can vividly
depict the emotions which are born OF
the hearts affections without in some de-
gree having personally experienced the
hopes and fears, the longings and
anxieties, and all else that may
attend thereon. Yet, while Mary
Anderson does all this, GOSSIP
says that she has never loved-tha
the divine inspiration which, all un
hidden, at some time in the lives of al
human kind, steals over the heart and il
the tender, subdued, yet unspeakablN
glorious tints OF maiden and manly low,
and affection, draws such pictures rs
angels delight to look upon-that Mis-
Anderson never yet knew aught OF this
Yet, who can witness her characterize
tions and not grow skeptical. If it b
true, then indeed are the lady's power
OF stimulation wonderful beyond compare
The good people OF Salt Lake will hav
another opportunity to see America

ming, and they cannot afford to miss it.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Woman Suf'ragists of the country
are mounted high on their hobby this
season, and war has been declared upon
all masculine bald heads who stand in
their way. To be sure, there is little of
sense and reason to be gathered from
many OF the letters and documents with
which they delight to flood the country,
and q case in point is the letter recently
sent by Mrs. Lozier to Senator Edmunds.
These ladies', in their efforts to make
themselves famous as the champions of
"down-trodden women" seem to lose
sight OF the fact that they represent only
themselves, or at best very insignificant
constituency, since the great masses Of
American women are very well content
to allow the male members OF the family
alone to keep the country on an even keel
by wise use OF the ballot, and that is all
they ask.
In this connection we note that Judge
Taylor, OF Ohio, a Republican member
of the House Committee on Judiciary, to
which body the Edmunds bill was re-
ferred, has received and will embody in
n minority report to the House favoring
the sixteenth amendment, n letter from
Mrs. Mercy j. Grifliths, Quakeress.
The letter is said to be remarkable one,
couched in the mildest words, but very
effective p protest against Senator Ed
munds' latest bill, which proposes to dis
franchise the gentler sex in Utah, Nor
mon and Gentle alike
OF course, Il respectful hearing will be
and ought to be given to these complaints
and protests OF the ladies, but it seems to
us that they would be entitled to far
greater consideration ii the demand for
suffrage came from the masses OF the
women instead OF from few professional
agaitators who measure the sentiment OF
all the women in the land by the false
notions which they themselves have con-
ceiyed

PULL UP THE BLINDS.

1t begins to look as though the Senate
might shortly conclude to do away with
executive sessions, so far as the consid-
Grafton OF appointments is concerned.
After all, why should not these matters
be discussed in open session? The popu-
lar impression, whether justified by the
facts or not, is that executive sessions OF
the Senate are used merely as Il cover
for trades and bargains, where bad nomi-
nations-and in spite OF all precautions
such nominations will be made OCCASION
ally-can be confirmed without the pub
lie knowing upon whom rests the RESPONSE
bility therefor.
The people are fast coming 10 the con-
clusion, which very many Senators seem
also to have reached, that it would be
better to tear away the curtain that is
supposed to veil the awful sanctity OF
executive sessions from the public gaze,
since there is nothing done that needs to
be or should be done in secret, and mis-
takes now made might and would be
avoided.
Speaking upon this point, the Wash,
ington correspondent OF the New York
World says: "Does any one sup
pose that Stanley Matthews would
ever have reached the Supreme
Court Bench If he had been compelled to
come before the Senate in open session
He was rejected once and confirmed only
after desperate fight by the bare ma
iority OF one, in the face OF positive ad
verse report OF the Judiciary Committee
What Senator would have dared to vote
