SENATOR LOGAN died a comparative ly poor man an everlasting monument to his honesty. Having devoted his life to the nation unselfishly , his wife and family will not be forgotten by the people. NEARLY every county in Nebraska found the promise of a new railroad iu its Christmas stocking. It is to be a great year" for railroad building in Ne braska , and McCook will not be neg lected in the shuffle. A NEW YORK clergyman says there will be degrees of punishment hereaf ter ; that the man who sins the most will be punished the most , and vice- versa. According to this belief , the man who sends a long communication , written on both sides , to a newspaper for publication , won't get much vice- versa in his. Norristown Herald. GENERAL LOGAN ever remembered his comrades in arms. His last public speech was delivered at a QA. . li. camp-fire in Yougstown , O. . on Novem ber 18 , a little more than five weeks ago. In the course of his remarks he said : "I believe in pensioning every soldier living that went into the service either for a long or short term , who was wounded in serve or contracted disease , or has since , through no fault of his own , become disabled. I be lieve in pensioning every soldier that has arrived at the age of sixty-two. Pass that kind of a law and justice would be done. " THERE'S a great deal said in the pa pers just now about the "long haul" and the "short haul ; " but it's the big haul out of the people's pockets that they must object to. There is a good deal of that kind of hauling , and it's not all done by the railroads. And speaking of discrimination , it may be observed that all of us like it well enough when it's in our favor. When the other fellows get the benefit we kick and demand a change. Wherefore the wise man observeth. Verily we are all made from the same piece of cloth , though it's thinner iu spots , and cut a little more on a bias. Chicago Inter-Ocean. THE Commander in-chief of the French army , and Secretary of War- General Boulanger , will demand for the army budget , this year , it is reported , $80.000,000. How do you like that Uncle Samuel , for a nice little sum to keep an army on foot without any def inite perception of warlike operations ? France will , if this money is voted , raise the army pool in Europe this year. It has cost in recent yeare $2- 000,000 a day to keep on foot the armies of Europe. If the other nations keep the proportion thus established by France the rate will be about $3,000- 000 a day. In one year of peace Eu rope spends the price of a war.
