Court Matters.

The business of court has been
progressing this week with ac-
customed regularity and dis
patch. Judges Friesner, Bright
and DeSleiger have alternated,
each taking a turn in well regu-
lated order.
The jury is a harmonious body,
composed of SIX Democrats and
six Republicans, and as in!elli
gent a body as ever filled the jury
box in this county. A fact that
has been a matter of remark is,
that the jury gives verdicts con-
trary TO public expectation, and
the lawyers predictions, but ad-
mittedly right by the Judge and
The ''pariies concerned"
There have been no cases of
interest ito the general public
tiled this week, the litigation In
our court now being quarrels be-
tween neighbors, the collection
of an account, 1.-The foreclosure OF
a mortgage, or some such other
matter in which the public haYe
no interest.

S. 3. Westenhaver Dead.

On Monday afternoon last. SAM
uel B. Westenhaver, one of Logan s
best known and esteemed citizens.
entered the dark valley of the shad
ow of death. 1t was unexpected to
his friends. Only a few weeks ago
he was on our streets, picture of
health and strength, and bid fair to
live out the days allotted to man,
but alas! they were numbered and
he now sleeps the sleep that knows
no waking.
Sam Westenhaver wac man of
courtly bearing and handsome pres
ence. His composition was not
made up of negative qualities nor
neutral haea. lie was clear and
positive. At once read and quick
lv understood. Yet in his relations
with his fellow mea he was as can
did as child and as gentle as a
woman. In his differences, he pro-
yolSed no rancor, inspired no dis
like,
HIS temper was sunny and cheer
full and he always had welcome
wherever he went.
Misfortune fell heavily On him
early. In the beginning of hope
full and most promising career, his
young wife and his babies died.
His old father in his loneliness
called Sam to his help. and for
many weary years, when young
life and honorable ambition beck
oned TO enterprise and adventure,
he staid III the seclrsion of his faith
er's sick room and ministered to
the feeble old man until he sank to
his final slumber.
He was man always foremost
in encouraging and helping the de.
yelopment of our town and county.
His judgment was sound and his
purposes always honorable, his per-
severance untlrlng.
He will be missed in the social
circles of his friends. He was q
peace maker and his kindly, courte-
Gus way allayed many angry con-
tentions and brought together and
made to be friends many hot blood
ed antagonists.
His closing honrs were hopeful.
Il e realized the voyage soon to be
made across the dark river, and in
vited to his bedside the ministers of
religion, giving every assurance
that his faith was firm and his hope
earnest in the Redeemer.
May we not all be consoled in the
belief that after crossing the dark
river, the Beyond is a place for him
of rest and peace, where those Of
his kindred and kind welcome TO 4
reunion that shall be eternal.

The Tariff in Congress.

For months past Congress has
been dealing with the question of
Tariff.
This is n national question, and a
problem lii political economy upon
the proper solution of which the
ablest statesmen of the country
honestly differ.
Mills, OF Texas, has introduced a
bill which places on the free list
many articles heretofore protected.
MIR. Randall submits Il measure
which proposes protection 20 nu-
mcrous articles which Mills desires
to be let free.
The question of Tariff Reform is
not political in the sense that party
lines are drawn.
All intelligent men agree that
the existing war tariff should be
modified to suit the changed condi-
fion of the peaceful times in which
we now live.
Among Democrats, and Re
phblicans. there Is a difference of
opi,:ion as 10 how best ID rearrange
the Tariff sch edule so thatFthe best
interests of the country may be
promoted.
The Randall plan meets with
much encouragement from leading
Democrats, and although his meas
ures may not be altogether adopted,
his views will have influence and
largely mould the modification of
the tariff proposed.
In recent issue of q eote.,sora-
ry which echoes Republican drivel.
the following was said of Randall ::
This Bill (refcrring to Randalls
BIlD condemns MIR. Randall as
more knave than statesman. And
he is even more knave than fool to

Jacob Weaver for Mayor.

The nomination of Jacob Wcav-
er for Mayor by a handsome major
lily over his competitors. and on an
unusually large vote, is an indica
ton that he is the proper man for
the place, and the people will see to
it that his nomination is ratified at
the polls on election day.
Mr.. Weaver made no special per-
sonal effort to secure his nomination.
This IS true also of the other can
didates against him. His nomina-
ton came as gift offering to a
good citizen, reliable Democrat
and man with judgment and hon.
esty TO fill The important Office of
Mayor,
Mr.. Weaver made one of the best
officers our county ever possessed.
Always at his post of duty; always
kind, generous and accommodating.
he Is a man of the people. A
working man himself, he is associ-
ated and identified with tho men
who work for a living and earn
bread by the sweat of their brows
and by busters on their hands.
In sickness and distress, in the
times when the heart moves the
man to generous acts, Jake Weav-
er is a foremost one among the
good people Of Logan.
He is deservedly popular with all
classes because he is faithful to du
ty, fair and honest and kind to all
with whom be has any business re-
lation.
He is an old soldier, and is not
any longer stout and stalwart and
able to encounter the hard physical
work in order to make a living be-
cause of the wounds received in he
roic battle for his country, and from
infrmities resulting from The prl-
vations in the prison pen at Ander-
sonvilIe,
As we said in the start, he is a
man of good sense and judgment.
ii, this he is qualified for the Office.
He is advanced In years and no
longer stout and strong because of
his sacrifices for his country.
The Office of Mayor Will be a po-
sition he will fill with honor to our
city. and his election will be a
graceful and deserving tribute to a
known Democrat, gallant soldier
and a good citizen.
