Major Logan and Six Others.

The cabled accounts of the death OF
Major John A. Logan in the far-off
philippines and the American news
paper comment upon the tragic fate
that befel him with his face to the foe,
have done full justice to the soldierly
fidelity and fearless fighting spirit of
this son of distinguished father. AS
bne correspondent puts it, "Young Lo-
gan died hero, and in his death re-
deemed his life"
The Free Press would take nothing
from the generous eulogy of this ex-
ample of heroic devotion and daring;
but we would suggest that the praise
ful sentiments which it has inspired
might be broadened to take in the
unknown and untitled heroes who
went down to death with Ma jor Logan
pm the sharp engagement at San
Jacinto-the six privates killed." as
'he dispatch from Manila puts it, with
but hint Of the names they bore, the
homes they came from or the hearts
that will be broken when the casualty
lists come.
We expect the official advices to DO
particularly terse and Unconditional in
dealing with the fate OF the brave
fellows in the ranks; but let us take
hare that our tributes to the nations
fallen soldiers are not determined by
The rank or influence or station of the
slain.
Mr.. Mckinley FASTENED to wire the
Pereaved young widow a tender ex-
preston of his sympathy. "His splen-
hid qualities as q soldier and high
courage on the firing line has given
him place among the heroic men Of
The war; the president telegraphed,
"and 1t will be some consolation to
,ou to know that he died for his coun-
Try on the field of honor"
