LOGAN'S WORK
The following article appeared inline
Washington ' Critic, : of January 10th,
which pays a nigh tribute to-the abili
ty and f wisdom of Hon. John A. Lo
gan, United States Senator from Illi
nois. General Logan has taken rank
among American statesmen, as an im
portant actor in the politics of this
Touniry, He is a logical easoner
shrewd debater, and among the hard
est worked Of all public men for the
benefit of the whole country. He takes
broad and, liberal views on all import
ant national measures which are brought
:before congress, and "is always found I
zealously; battling for that which he
conceives to be jagt.and proper for the
whole country:. ,
"When the name of a public man
becomes conspicuous, his acts and char
acter afej the legitimate objects of either
praise or condemnation. . It is not gen
erally supposed that Gen. John A. t o-.
gan is a devotee at tho shria of sci
ence, yet he is a liberal reader and
thinker,' and a man of great practical
wisdom.! It .is a curious fact that aci
entists, theorists, philosophers nd book
worms are always preceded in practical
discoveries by unlettered students in
science and close observers of nature's
laws. 'Gen. Logan's home was at Car
' bondale, in the centre ot the great coal
belt of southern Illinois. As a student

" -' "Its toil, and wonderful discoveries
and results' are especially valued in
"Europe. Mr, lid ward Hull, director
of the geological survey of Ireland,
says in an official paper that the 'sur
veys made under the auspices of, the
. United States government reflect infi
hite credit upon the intelligence of
American law-givers.' . Lieut-General
Richard Strachey, of the.Royal British
Engineers, London, England, writes:
The work of the surveyors is most
honorable to the United States -government
and to the men of science
who have been the agents in carrying
it out. In truth it is. I . believe, the
only scientific survey of a great coun
try ever entered npon.' Professor L.
De Konick, at the'University of Leige,
Belgium, expressed himself in the fol
lowing manner; 'It is an eternal honor

to your country to have been able to
keep alive the torch of science in the
midst of its political preoccupations,
and not to. have let its flames go out in
the most violent crisis that you have
passed. You have.understoqd that this
flame, more than any other, is destined
henceforth to illumine , tfe world. It
would be a shame to let this fUme go
out at the very moment when it pro
duces iUTbest.results.' '.',;
"The present geological survey Is the
result of the consolidation of several
surveys which sprung from the popular
impetus given to such enterprises by
the Logan amendment "to the sundry
civilbill in the fortieth congress; the
discoveries of valuable minerals, sur
veys of rivers, lakes mountain, plains
and the great canons of the west, have
been of priceless value to the .people
of this an other countries.' This sur-
Ivey iaklestincd to become the'most im-
portant organization in its scientific at
tainmejLts and researches in the world.
General Logan, without ever anticipa
ting or imagiog the magnitude of the
great, work he inaugurated through his
wise judgment, discovered his most fit
ting and choicest monument in the
memory and hearts if the American
people and the bck world in ihe
formation of the bisc.pkich he foun
ded. What wasbjjnesterd ay,a hehjr

gulf, and along the Mexican border.
"The bureau of ethnology is an inci
dent of i-hat which sprung from Gen.
Logan's keen interest in practical geo
logical - studies. A knowledge of the
history and peculiarities of the differ
ent races which at different periods in
the world's history have occupied this
continent Las been acquired through
the 'intervention of this bufeau as re

Shooting Aflair at Rockiugliam.
. Last Saturday night an ugly shoot
ing affair occurred at Rockinghanf be
tween two saloon-keepers Bird and
Sot Gay iri which GaY was ther suf-t
ferer. The Shot-would have: proved
fatal but; for the. singular manner Tin
which Gay's arm warded off the bullet.
Just as,the pistol fired Gay threw up
his .arari 4 and Hhef bujfefc;; striking it,
broke the bone ahd gancing upward

culty grew out of a dispute about a
matter of rent. Gay had rented a house
in which Bird lived, and Bird refusing
to give it up, a qnarrel ensued, with the
result statea. iJiid has not been seen

In December " the tariff divided the
Democrats into two parties In Janu
ary it makes-three parties of Ihem
and the session is not yet near its end.
The Carlisle men were understood to
favor "a thorough overhauling of the
tariff," because of its alleged "abombi
nations." The Ranlali men were op
posed to such overhauling until after
the Presidential election. . But no rv we
have a third party, which1 perceiving
that the party will stultify itself if it re
fuses to amend what it declares "abomi
nable," and trusting that the voters
will riot have sense , enough to distin
guish a mere f dodge from a radical
change, proposes to make a horizontal
reduction of a certain per cent on alt
duties and fie a to boast that the party
has "roformed the tariff." '
But, men arid brethren, this is not a
good year for dodges. Dull business
and scanty employment sharpen the,
minds of voters. Probably there never
was deeper interest in the tariff ques
tidn than now, and. the millions who
live by wages comprehend the matter
well from a Saturdanight point of.
view Protection, the millions' see,
stimulates production; induces 'more
people to put brains and money into
manufactures. That, the millions say,
insures better wages. , If that system li
to baJandoned or c iauged, the mil
lionfrant to know wliy. The Demo
crafThaye ben saying "Because the in
famous systerii robs everybody else for
the benefit of those engaged in tho pro
tected manufactures."! ' Now" the . mil
lions reply "If you really belieye that,
you will repeal the duties which favor
certain industries, and will doso at your
peril if disaster comes. If you do not
believe it, and so do not repeal such du
ties, you have been lying to us, and de
serve no confidence." To get rid of the
dilemma, ihe Democratic dolt proposes
to leave the discriminations relatively
a they are, but to cut downfall duties
alike. And he really fancies ?that the
millions will not detect the fraud.
It was the discrimination , which tlie
Democrats denounced as robbery. A
thousand times they have said "If the
tariff were so arranged that e very body
would be benefitted just as much as he
was burdened, nobody would be 'hurt
by it, and nobody would want it."
