IOGAN's ESTATE.

After lifetime of splendid service to his
country, Gen. Logan leaves his family poor.
There are plenty of mechanics who have
worked at the bench or the forge all their
lives and accumulated more property than
this man did, who commanded armies and who
sat in the highest places of the Nation
for quarter of century. Had he
given the brains and energy that
he displayed in single one
Of his great battles to the amassing of a
fortune, he would have been a millionaire
many times over. As it is, all that he leaves
TO his family is the homestead in Southern
Illinois, the income from which has not
averaged $500 year for 10 years, a comfort
able house in Chicago, and his residence in
Washington, upon which he has paid $1,000
leaving $4,000 still due

OUR CHIEF is DEAD.

There is not veteran in all the country,
nor the wife, widow or orphan of veteran,
who does not feel to-day weaker, poorer and
more alone in the world because of the death
of Gen. John A. Logan. The highest tribute
TO the memory Of the dead soldier and
statesman is that the same grief which fills
the bosoms Of his widow and children
swells in the hearts of Eaen and women
wherever the flag floats The veterans of
the country felt that Logan was their repre-
sentative and comrade 10 an extent that no
other man was or could be. He was one of
themselves. lie was the highest type Of a
volunteer. He was the personifcation of
that host Of patriotic young men who left
their homes and pleasant vacations at the
call Of their country and overthrow her enc
mics by dauntless courage, devotion TO the
end and burning zeal that no dangers OF
hardships could quench. He had done as
they all did, had fought as they fought
had taken full share in every peril and hard.
ship After the war he had remained in ~
foil sympathy with them as he was during
its continuance. lie reflected their opinions
represented them earnestly and fully in Con
gress and wherever else they needed ,
spokesman. His strong personality made
him a champion Of champions. He wal
really a personal friend and advocate {,
every man who served his country faith
fully, and to those dependent upon him.
We have yet host Of earnest and powerful
friends-men who were admirable soldier
themselves, and thoroughly in sympathy
with their comrades, but we have no one {,
replace John A. Logan.

LEADER IN ISRAEL HAS FALLEN.
John A. Logan is dead.
il would be strange, indeed, If THE Ma
TI0NAL TRIBUNE did not hesitate as il does
for fitting TO express the feeling caused
by this startling announcement.
The blow has stunned every one, exactly
as the announcements of the assassinations Of
Lincoln and Garfield dazed the people by
their unexPectedness.
A few days ago John A. Logan was a
power in the Nation-oneo of the very greatest
soldiers Of our war,-a leader Of exalted
courage, commander who had successfully
welded myriadso of men in gigantic battles
a legislator who, for a score Of years had
been the associate and peer of the greatest
men in our history, associate, idol and
representative Of the million veterans who
survive the war,-one ofihe foremost of Sena-
tors,-a probable President of the United
States-he was the embodiment Ofthat power
-, Il n, ~; n, ,,o all l-;,vlu Nonoma
in all the Nation evoked such an idea of
firmly grounded present strength, and greater
development in the future as his.
To-day all that there isleft of that towering
personality is a little inanimate and silent
clay, over which the whole people mourn
with one accord.
Gen. Grants death brought no shock TO
the people They had been waiting for it
for months. lie had ceased to he a power
in public affairs years before disease had
fixed its fatal grasp upon him. But Logan,
it was thought, had not reached the zenith
of his activity and usefulness. His friends
confidently anticipated a decade - more
likely a score-of years Of even higher sery-
ice to the country than he had yet rendered
There was nothing within the range of
human power that might not be confidently
expected of the gifted man who had accom-
plished so much in his singularly brilliant
career, and who was still apparently in the
prime Of his powers.
To-day all these possibilities are but a
memory.
The soldier whom thiclening dangers only
nerved TO more desperate daring the patriot
who counted his own life or the lives OF
those around him as nothing when the
country needed them; the statesman whose
shaping hand has been felt in every act
which the political leader whom millions
confidently expected to see grasp the helm
of State and guide the Nations destinies
with his strong hand is dead.
1t is almost impossible to realize the fact
