Mr.. Cruzan said: | invite your atten-
ton to a comparative study in American
history. Like the Englishman who
thought Englishmen were too modest,
so | think Americans are too modest,
although other nations may not have
discovered the fact as yet. The mustard

planted in New England years ago; now
the Americans are sixty millions OF free
men Instead of thirteen weak colonies
we now count thirty-eight stars in our
flag, and still there are more to follow.

The great inventions have kept pace

as to whether Americas real movement
is backward or forward. l contend that
it is forward. | hold that our strength

VIII They Brcnk rheir rlsares

inc opposition to Senator Van Wyck s
reelection is beginning to show its hand.
Eastern journals are almost daily publish.
ing Nebraska dispatches which predict
the senator's retirement and the selec-
ton of other candidates to hide them
selves in the seat which he is filing so well
IN the interests of the people Of this state.
Eyer since the election there has been
| systematic attempt to manufacture pub
lie sentiment IN opposition to the general
and to debauch members of the legisla-
ture elected on solemn pledges of fidelity
to his candidacy. The travelling mission
aries OF the railroads have visited
every county in the state and interviewed
every senator and representative who it
was believed could be Influenced. The
men chosen to voice the will of the peo-
pie have been assailed by alternate argu-
mcnts that Senator Van Wyck was too
friendly with the democrats to be re-
publican and too staunch n republican to
look for support from tie democrats.
Passes and promises have been distributed
with lavish hand by tie railroad attor-
neys, while the irresponsible newspaper
correspondents have been induced TO
hllsrcpFcSent the situation to eastern
papers in order that eastern com.
ment might in turn be used to
the senator's disadvantage at home.
The game is one of bluff, buster; and
bravado. 1t remains to be seen whether
it will win.
If the sentiment of the people of Ne.
braska as voiced ut the late election is to
be respected. General Van Wyck will be
his own successor. If the pledges of
men elected to represent the sentiments
OF their constituents count for anything,
Charles ii. Van Wyck will be returned to
the national senate for another term.
The sole issue now is whether the people
of this state are to be sold out by the men
whom they have honored with Office and |
with their confidence, VIII the members |
of the legislature abide by their pledges |
to their constituents If they do, and we |
see no reason TO assume that they will |
not, the friends of General Van Wyck |
have nothing to fear. The attempt to |
create stampede among the generals |
supporters is a shrewd game to snatch
victory from the jaws of defeat. 1t has
no other basis,

captain L. V. Greene, of the United
States engineers, in an article in Serb.
ner's Magazine on the subject of our dc.
fenSeless coast cities, says that the very
clements of wealth and population which
nave made an invasion of the United
States impossible have brought an IN.
crease of danger in another direction.
They have built up great cities on the
shores OF the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
and the northern lakes containing an ag.
gfegate population of more than Z, 1000, 600
souls, destructiblc property with valu-
ation OF four thousand million dollars,
and producing annually manufactured
goods alone valued at one thousand mil
non dollars. Here is where we are weak.
Every one of this large population and
every dollar of this vast property is in
danger of destruction by hostile fleet.
The shells OF an enemy's vessels could in
u few weeks, or even days, after declar.
alton of war, reach every portion of it, so
utterly dcfensclGss are our harbors
against the ships and guns that have
been developed during the last twenty
years, during which time we have done

of invasion and conquest, as
wholly visionary, the problem of
national defense has simpliied itself
10 merely protecting life and property
against possible enemy in our scaboard
and blackboard cities. In other words, it
is problem of national insurance on
life and property to provide for just
those eases of danger, which are specially
excepted from all ordinary policies. Ap-
plying an annual premium of one per
cent on the dostructible property valued
at $4,000, 100000 would give $40, ,OOO, 900
for defense, but Captain Greene says that
half this amount expended annually for
six years would give us complete system
of insurance-that is, harbor dcfenses
stronger than any ships which could be
brought against them. With the applica-
ton to this purpose OF even SIC, ,O0O, 900 a |
year for six years he says that fully |
three fourths of the lives and property on |
our coasts could be placed out of danger. |

TO be made.

Randall 10 Bring In a Bill.

1t was not to be supposed that the Ses-
sion OF congress would close without Mr..
Randall being heard from in connection
with revenue measure. Nothing very
definite has yet transplred rs 10 what he
will propose, but it is understood that at
the meeting of his faction last week IT
was decided to BRING in bill for reduc
ing the revenue without interfering with
the tariff. 1t Is said that Mr. Randall was
delegated to draft bill, to be ready by
the expiration of the recess, which will
deal only with the reduction of internal
taxes, The question of revising duties
was abandoned, one ground Of objection
to attempting such REVISION being that
MIR. Morrison and his friends might pos.
siblY take advantage Of the opportunity
and go further with the tariff reduction
than Mr.. Randall would desire. II is ex.
pected that the new bill will propose a
considerable reduction of the tobacco
tax, and will in all probability abolish
the tax OH fruit brandies, The latter
would be especially acceptable to the rep.
resentatiyes of Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Kentucky, where fruit
brandies are most largely made, and Mr..

Death of General Logan.


Another eminent leader in the councils
OF the republic has passed away. The
! announcement of the death of General
John a. Logan is q surprise rs sad as il
Is startling. In the prime of life 4
brilliant career is suddenly closed on the
very threshold of still greater cminency.
Among the galaxy of great soldiers and
statesmen whose death the country has
mourned during the past decade few
have been nearer and dcarcr 20 the hearts
of their cOuntrymen, and especially to
the Union veterans, than John A. Logan.
No man in OIL out of congress was moro
entitled to the gratitude of the manned
and disabled survivors of the war
Few men who have served their coun.
try for thirty years in positions
of great responsibility and trust
have made n cleaner record.
AS soldier, John A. Logan won his first
laurols during the Mexican war, whore
he fought gallantly in the volunteer
ranks. As n commander in the war of
the rebellion, he ranked among the ablcst
OF our generals, In the national legisla.
turc, as on the tented field, John A.
Logan was always at the front fighting
for what he believed for the best interests
of the nation which he had helped to
save and re.unito.
Without that culture which wealth and
collegiate education afford, General
Logan was pre- omincntly one of the
sclf-made men of our times, In all the
glory and eminencc which fell to his lot
he never lost his head He was always
within the reach of the most humble of
his constituents, A positive man, with
intense likes and dislikes, General Logan
was naturally warm friend or bitter
enemy. Starting out in his early life as
democrat he was converted to republican
principles and free soil ideas when he
found the great mass of his old political
associates arrayed against the union and
the American flag
The war made him not only Il
republican but stalwart among
stalwarts. General Grant was his ideal
of republican leadership, and he fought
for Grant in 1880 with more zeal than he
did for himself in 1884.
AS candidate for the second highest |
Office within the gift of the nation Gen.
eral Logan bore himself with a dignity |
which commanded the respect of men of |
all parties. He took his defeat with that
sublime resignation which marks the
man of heroic type.
A brave, manly man, General Logan
was kind and devoted husband and
father, whose conduct in private life has
been exemplary. In his death the re-
publican party loses gallant leader,
and the country loses patriot, whose
memory will long be cherished
