DEATH OF GENERAL LOGAN.
Another eminent leader in the conn-
cils of the republic has passed away.
The announcement of the death of
General John A. Logan is a surprise as
ad as it is startling. In the prime of life
a brilliant career is suddenly closed , on
the very threshold of still greater emi-
noncy. Among the galaxy of great
Soldiers and statesmen whose death the
country has mourned during the pastj j
decade few have been nearer and dearer |
to the hearts of their countrymen , and
especially to the Union veterans , than
John A. Logan. No man in or out of
congress was more entitled to the grat-
Itude of the maimed and disabled sur-
vivors of the war. Few men who have
eerved their country for thirty years in
positions of great responsibility and
trust , have made a clearer record. As
a soldier , John A. Logan won his first
luurela during the Mexican war , where
to fought gallantly in the volunteer
ranks. As a commander in the war of
tho rebellion , he ranked among the
ablest of our generals. , In the national
legislature , as on the tented field , John
A. Logan was always at thn front ,
fighting for what he believed for the
best interests of the nation which he
hnd helped save and re-unite.
Without that culture which wealth
and collegiate education afford , Gener
al Logan was pre-eminently one of the
8elf-inade men of our times. In all the
glory and eminence which fell to his
lot he never lost his head. A positive
man , with intense likes and dislikes ,
General Logan was naturally a warm
friend or a bitter eneui } ' . Starting out
in his early life as a democrat , he was
converted to republican principles and
free-soil ideas when he found the great
mass of his old political associates ar
rayed against the union and the Amer
ican Sag.
The war made him not only a repub
lican , but a stalwart among stalwarts.
General Grant was his ideal of republi
can leadership , and he fought for
Grant in 1880 with more zeal than he
did for himself in SS4.
As ft candidate-'lir P * the second high-
cst office within thegift of the nation ,
General Logan bore himself with a dig
nity which commanded the respect of
men of all parties. lie took his de
feat with that sublime resignation
which marks the man of heroic type.
A brave , manly man , General Logan
was a kind and devoted husband and
father , whose conduct in private life
has been exemplar } ' . In his death the
republican party loses a gallant leader ,
and tho country loses a patriot , whose
memory will Jong be cherished. Oma

TIIE Senate bill for the allotment of
lands in severally to Indians was pass
ed by the House recently , with amend
ments recommended by the Committee
on Indian Affairs. It provides for the
allotment of reservation lands in sever
ally to the Indians located thereon , on
their application , in quantities as fol
lows : To each head of : t family , one
quarter of a section ; to each single per
son over eighteen years of age , one-
eighth of a section ; to each orphan
child under eighteen years , one-eighth
of a section ; to each other person un
der eighteen years one-sixteenth of a
section. If there is not sufficient land
on the-reservation to allot to each indi
vidual the quantity as provided , then
the land shall be alloted to each indi
vidual pro rnta. The bill prohibits for
the period of twenty-five years the con
veyance of any such alloted land ; makes
the allotces subject to Slate and Tcrri-
torial law , and prohibits any Territory
from passing any law denying to any
such Indian within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the law , The rights
and privileges of citizenship are con
ferred upon every Indian born within
the territorial limits of tho United
StateSi to whom allotments have boon
y made , and upon every Indian who has
voluntarily taken up his residence
fr. apart from .my tribe of Indians and
adopted the habits of civilized life *
The bills docs not apply to the civil-
izcd tribes in the Indian Territory , to
the Seneca Nation of New York , nor to
the strip of Nebraska adjoining the
Sioux nation/
THE Holdrege Republican has an in-
teresting libel suit on hand , a fact the
editor thereof announces with a great
flourish of trumpets through the medi
um erf Jl ' 'special. " The Republican's
cup of joy and earthly renown can be
safely rated as "slopping over. " A
softer snap never falls to the average
journalist's lot.

in the rock , where water falls constant

King is still undergoing the process.
