A Conlrasf.

There were several Republicans in the
Opera House on Tuesday night who gave
mark ed attention to the address of Mr..
Lynch. We request them TO compare it
with the speech of Gen. Vandever. The
one-that of MIR. Lynch-was reulee in
practical opinions on the leading issues
of the moment; the other was antedelu-
Wan in idea and destitute of even an ex.
preston of opinion upon the burning
questions which now agitate California.
Instead of discussing the irrigating, la
Dor and monopoly questions with the
statesmanlike width and courage of Mr..
Lynch, Gen. Vaudever delved down into
the caverns of the past with bloody
apostrophes to the ghost of the rebellion.
Now, if we want a eontinutlon of union,
Of fraternity and national patriotism
within these United States, men of the
obsolete ideas of Gen. Vandever must
be relegated to their native obscurity,
and men of the wide, practical ideas OF
the present Eoment, like Mr.. Lynch
brought to the front. There are some
men, who. like old wine, steadily i'm
prove with age; there are others, who,
like old cabbage, rapidly deteriorate after
passing the meridian OF life. Gladstone
is a type of the old wine quality of man;
Blaine is probably another; while Gen
Vandever is striking illustration of the
cabbage head class, whose minds be-
come sere, withered and ciammy as de-
caying leaves. s.-San Bernardino Courier.

GRANT AND OTHER CoNoUERoRs.
To understand the role played by
General Grant between the States, Ie-
gard must be had to the exceptional cir
cu,ustances Of the ''late unpleasant
ness." He figured upon scale of IN
precidented magnitude. Most of the
celebrated conquerors with whom his
tory is conversant really cut swarth on
very narrow areas. Grant emerged from
an internecine war as its hero. Let
us look at other civil strifes. Take for
instance, .he struggle between Marius
and Sylla, Cesar and Pompey, Caius
Octavius and Mark Antony in Rome
The theatre OF the warfare between
these comparative pgmies scarcely equals
the supertcies which stretches in Cai.for-
mia from Point Conception to the Mexi
can line. Laius julius Cesar, in his
most imperial and ambitious fights, wa

by this firm, last spring, for the late Samuel j.

Relations of Logan and Grant.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-c'he Critic to-day pub
fishes the following lette, from George c. Cor
ham. of this city, testifyine to the warm and un
broken friendship that existed between General
Grant and General Logan:
recent publication, purporting to be an extract
from private letter written by General Grant during
his first presidential term expressed apprehensions
TO General Logan's political intentions at that time,
which subsequent events proved were unfounded
The explanation of this is simple. in 1912 Grant
was SO perplexed by the injustice of enemies that he
knew not whom to trust. and naturally, at times
construed expressions of dissatisfaction with specific
acts as tokens of sympathy with the revolt of
Sumner Trumbull and SchurZ He warmly
supported by Logan in the campaign which followed
and, in 1880, had no warmer supporter for
the nomination at Chicago. In 1884 Grant
earnestly desired the nomination of Logan In con-
ersation with in the spring of thatyear General
Grant introduced the name of General Logan saying
Il wish j ohm Logan would be nominated but l sup
pose that it is impossible. HF then referred to the
objections that were made to b financial record and
said in substance that in the panic of 1878 he had
only voted. did some others in the Senate whose
soundpess had never been called in question and that
questioned by the most orthodox. He spoke warmly
as the friend and comrade. Logan was the best vol
unteer soldier in the war; said he land at the end of
the war, he was fit to command the entire army.
suppose he mad at times
than any general had under me, but then he was
with me more than any other. He often discon-
tented and grumbling in camp, but he instantly be-
came pleasant when the enemy in sight. He
always happy when he could have something to do"
BY something Grant meant fighting This was the
opinion entertained of Logan by Grant. The Union
veterans of the civil war who loved both these IL
lustrous leaders, need not mngle with the grief at
their loss the painful thought that they were not
friends The letter of Grant which recently
thrust forward to speak for the dead hero against the
then living one cancelled as all men know, by
the subsequent support each gave the other for the
highest honor the Republic can bestow.

Mrs. Logan Is already receiving great many
suggestions as to her future, and among others
is one that she write her "reminiscences OF the
war. She has often thought of doing so and the
book would have very large SALE Her life has
been full OF adventure in war and politics that
few other women have experienced, and she can
relate them in most graphic way, as all who
know her are aware.
The Evening Star SAYS: "Among members of
the House who visited the Capitol yesterday and
to-day, the suggestion passed around that
liberal pension should be granted TO the widow
of General Logan, and it met with hearty APP
prevail on every hand. Democrats manifested
much eagerness as Republicans to join in
providing for the widow. The hearty manner
ir which the suggestion has been taken hold of,
renders it quite certain that among the first acts
of Congress, upon reassembling, will be to pass
pension bill for Mrs. Logan. 1t is agreed
that there would be eminent propriety
in granting liberal pension, based upon
General Logan's military services. Some mem
bers are of the opinion that the pension should
be So, 900 per year This is the sum granted to
widows or Presidents, and, though General Lo-
gan did not occupy an Office so exalted as that,
he was the recognized head and representative
of the volunteer soldiery It is hardly probable
that pension of less than So, 500 will be voted,
il the expressions of Congressman upon that
subject may be taken as a criterion With re-
gard to the pension, as there is no civil pension
list, the proposition for the relief Of Mrs Logan
considers only the military services of her hus-
band 1t is claimed that violence will be
done to the letter or the spirit of the law in
granting her pension. General Logan was
sufferer up to his death from the effects of his
army experience. In fact, it is asserted that
the rheumatism, which was the primary cause of
his death, was contracted by exposure in the
army"
NEW YORK, Dec. 28-The publishers of Gen.
Logan's book, 1.-THE Great Conspiracy" received

Decatur Citizen Has Been Fleeced.

A Harbor OF Refuge for Gamblers-how a
Decatur Citizen Has Been Fleeced.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR, Dec. 28-During the past few
months Decatur has had the mean notoriety OF
being the home or stopping place OF more pro-
fessional and would. be gamblers, cappers. ETC..
than any other city of its size in this or adJoin
ing States, and just now a majority of the gam
bling fraternity have nCtoriety heaped upon
them in the way of numerous indictments. The
meeting of the grand jury, in November, had
the effect to scatter many of the participants to
other towns. but they have been getting back
singly, in pairs and trios, and scarcely day
passes that the officers of the law do not nab
from two to half dozen, to await the action of
court, which will be again opened Jan. g. The
investigation by the grand jury has brought
out the astonishing fact that one young man of
good family, who has been led into the haunts
and dens of the gamblers, has, within the past
two years, lost $40 900 at the gaming table, hav-
ing lost as high $1,000 at one sitting. Re-
Gently his wife found him in gambling den,
and prevailed on him to start home with her,
but he escaped and returned to the den, where
he remained till morning, losing heavily. His
friends have applied to the court to have re-
celyer appointed for him, but the men who have
connived to get his money claim that they do
not know any such man. and never met one
by his name; but the will doubtless
bring witnesses to the stand who will
make some startling revelations and it is to be
hoped that this case will prove the key to the
situation, and that many convictions will follow.
Judge Hughes will certainly make examples of
a number If he is given chance.
Referring TO this case the Decatur Herald re-
Gently contained the following additional facts
The reason for asking the court to appoint
servator for Eli s. Uery appears to be desire to
about $s 600 of the young nam property which has
not yet been squandered and perhaps also to preserve
for his use and that of his family the income from
the seventy-6ve Thousand hundred thousand
dollars which he will one day have by inheritance As
inquiries pushed it likely that young Ulery
has lost not less than 500 600 in gambling during the
past year.
