equally by all the Other nations so that in the

do not believe lCglSl latvc functions should be
surrendered in this way. 1t might be a dam

who believed in protection itwould be all
right, but in case of a free trade president, it
would be Il Very different matter. No, the
president can now make reel ciprOcity treaties
by and with the advice and consent of the
senate and there is no nee essity to depart
from that regular order. For that reason do
not think the house will add the amendments

TUELOGM MONUMENT.
General Algcrs reference to the Logan
mOnumentin his speech before the Grand
Army cnampnent yesterday recalls the
fact that an appropriation OF $4,000 was
mademOre than eighteen months ago for the
erection ola pedes tai in Iowa circle upon the
ass umnce that $4,000 would be rails ed i'm
mediately for the monument. A similar APP
proprlation was made fora PEDESTAL for Cen
eral HancOck's monument at the same time,
but until now only Sl2,OOO has been raised for
the Logan monument and nothing whatever
for that for Hancock so far as is known
here, The Logan fund was to
be raised by the Grand Army of
by the Societyof the Army of the Potomac,
Generals Sewel of New Jersey, Bingham of
| Pennsy lVania and Park of the regular army
| rctired) being the committee. General AL
ger suggests that congress may be induced to
| allow cheaper PEDESTAL and give aportiOn of
| the appropriation toward the statue but this
is very doubtful. There would be decided
| opposition to any such suggest tons. The
stat of Generals Thomas, McP herson,
| Garfield and others Were erected upon the
same plan andunleSs the ad mirers of Gener.
ais Logan and Hancock raise the funds and
erect the statues the appropriation for the
PEDESTAL will 60 back into the treasury.
GoRMAN HAS A SCHEME.
Senator Goman of Maryland, chairman of
the democratic caucus, has been busly en-
gagged allday in trying to induce his demo
cratic colleagues to adopt plan that has
been hatchedin his fertile brain. He advo-
Gates total indifference on the part of the
democratic senators in regard to the election
bill and says that more capital can be made
for that party if they will abs tain from de
bate upon the election bin and permit the
republicans to do all the talking. Mr.. Hoar
of MasSachu settS will Omen the discussion on
the republican side and Sen atorS Reagan and
Berry are loaded with mate rial for speeches
which they promise to use in case they are
drawn into debate anot no AMOUNT OF argu-
ment by German could draw promise from
them to remain silent when the election bill
is before the senate 1t is thou ght, however,
that thedemocrats, with one or two excep.
tions, will abstain from debate
