The experiment will cer tainly increase the circulation of that P FT P ER - * IT is believed that in the choice of a successor to Senator Logan Mrs. Lo gan will have her say and that her in fluence will go a great way in the se lection of one of the Illinois statesmen for the U. S. Senate. THE legislature of Pennsylvania had its first session on Tuesday and the halls of the cnpitol wcro crowded by eager witnesses. Both houses at onco proceeded with tho work of or ganization. In the Senate Geo. ITan dj Smith, of Philadelphia, was elect ed president pro tern. In the house Henry K. Boyer, of Philadelphia, re ceived tho highest vote for speaker, and upon taking the chair delivered his inaugural address in plain and simple language. AUDITOR GENERAL NTLES has ad dressed a letter to all the county com missioners in the state in which he fur nishes aset of rules and instructions to be giveh to the mercantile appraisers in the different counties before enter ing upon their duties. The most im portant part ot the communication is its la3t paragraph where that ofiiccr announces that according to a recent decision in the supreme court the pub lication of the appraiser's list will be disposed with, until the legislature makes further provision- tor such pub lication. This order will cause a con siderable decrease in the yearly re ceipts of some of the newspaper offices. VOLUME 61 of the JOURNAL begins with this our first issue iu the new year. Since we assumed sole editorial control of the paper about fonr years ago it was our chief aim to make the JOURNAL a spicy, readable and punc tual weekly local newspaper* That our labor was not in vain is evident when we glance at our increased list of subscribers, of whom quite a num ber are politically On the opposite side. We have made it a point to issue a purely democratic journal,but we nev er have been or will be addicted to blackguardism or abuse. We shall endeavor to improve the paper as we continue in our work, and we ask our patrons to support us in the new year by renewing their subscriptions. QOVERNOR Pattison's message to the legislature is a document full of in terest to those concerned about vital questions of the state government. It smacks very much of reform and the only thing to be regretted i 3 that the reform measures recommended in his able, straightforward message will hardly receive the attention which they deserve under the changed and highly republican administration. lie discusses the financial condition of the state; the reforms in the policy con trolling the sinking funds ; the proper enforcement of the tax laws; the irreg ularities in the assessment of taxes ; the need of revision of the license system. He clearly points out the neglect of former legislatures to fairly apportiou the state and urges the maniiest duty to do so upon the pres ent legislature. The whole paper is composed in the Governor's fearless and decisive manner.. SENATOR LOGAN'S death which oc curred last week &Dd a fuller account of which may be found on our first page cast a deep gloom over political and military circles and the funeral ceremonies on Friday, December 31st were attended by a large number of statesmen, military organizations and veterans of the late war. Washing ton was draped in black and the ser vices were yery impressive. The re mains were interred in Rock Creek Cemetery. Everyone near the wid ow wept, not only for the dead man but in sympathy for the lonely wo man. Senator Logan died a poor man, but the services which the de ceased statesman and soldier rendered his country are not forgotten by his friends, which are legioD, and a fund of nearly $50,000 has already been raised for the support of his sorrowing widow. THE OLD YEAR has gone and wthi it many of this country's illustrious men, such as Seymour, Tilden, Hancock, Arthur, Adams, Davis, Kelly and Lo gan. Many changes have been wrought in national affairs, in state governments, in business and in our homes and families. The new year has come freighted with new hopes and aspirations, with prospects of in creased trade and larger enterprises, and many who are spared to live through 1887 enter the battles of this world with renewed energy and cour age, while others who are less san guine and confident tremble at the pos sible embarrassments and troubles which the New Year may have in store for them. We trust the class first mentioned is by far iq the major ity. Let us all look at the_bright sido of the future and not foster unneces sary doubts and fears about events to come. Begin the year 1887 with the firm determination to do your best in whatever channel of life you may find yourself find success Is half assured. Swindling tho Soldiers. Tho Pension Sharks at Work on a Now Plan. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—A number of Representatives, since tho meeting of Congress, have received letters from their constituents, calling attention to certain Washington so-called pension attorneys, who have been sending out blank forms to so'diersannouncing that for the sum of s2o they will have a bill introduced giving them a pension at the highest rate of their claimed disa bility. It is the impression of Repre sentatives that these attorneys have had access in some way to the list of rejected cases in the Pension OtUee, as the circulars are sent only to that class of claimants. The attention of Gener al Black has been called to the niattter in a quiet way, in order to enable him to tako steps to ferret out tho persons in the otlice who may have been guilty of such a breach of olVicial confidence. Tho members of Congress are indig nant, as the circulars of these rascally attorneys lead to tho inferrencc that it is necessary to pay a fee to them for in troducing a bill. Any soldier having a claim to pension can have his bill in troduced by his representative without charge. Therefore any one responding to these circulars may consider himself as another victim to the ingenuity of fraud practiced by sharpers upon the unsuspecting soldiers of the late war. A Logan Memorial. Tho Letters of Sympathy to bo Col loctod in a Volume. WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—Acting on the advice of her family and nearest friends, Mrs. Logan has decided to per mit the letters and messages of condo lence sent her upon the death of her husband to uecollected into a memorial volume. These letters are some hun dreds in number. They come from church societies and ministers, from banking associations and bankers, Grand Army Posts and old soldiers, from law associations, law firms and lawyers. Statesmen, generals and di plomats, dropping the formalities of their customary utterance, speak in the same sentence of their own and the country's loss, and long-time ac quaintances describe last visits or ever to-be-remembered occurrences in which the dead bore apart. Many are upon dainty sheets bearing the monograms in gilt and color of cultured writers, and more are the homelier cflusions of humbler friends, who filled so large a space in the dead general's heart. Among the letters not yet published is that from Mrs. Cleveland,who wrote : "We are greatly shocked to hear of the terrible grief which has come to you so suddenly. Words are but poor com forters in a trouble like this, but we wish you to know that our hearts are filled with the deepest sympathy for you. My husband, who is ill in bed, joins me most earnestly in my message of condolence, and begs me to say that added to his sympathy for you in your great affliction, is his own grief at the loss of an honored and esteemed friend." WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our oorrespoiuU-nt.) WASHINGTON, J;.N. 3, ISST. The great annual levee at (!;e While House last Saturday passedoff pleasant ly to both host and guests. Legislators and ollicials, judiciary and diplomates, soldiers and sailors, veterans and civil ians, old age and youth, wealth and poverty, fame and obscurity, aristocra cy and democracy, came, iis usual, to pay respect and express good wishes to the Chief Magistrate. As the President was just recovering from another rheumatic attack which had kept him prisoner for more than a week, it \yis thought'he would not be able to endure the whole oideal of the tlnee hours of handshaking, hut would be compelled to retire from fa tigue before the reception was over. His condition was the cause of much solicitude on the part of Mrs. Cleveland and the Cabinet otlicers, who wanted him to remain seated during the inter vals between the reception of the var ious bodies, lie would not yield to their wishes, however, but stood up to his task bravely until flic last, though he was very tired. After the ollicials had passed through the public was received, and \ Liters theu came in, frgrn actual count, at the rate of 300 to every ten minutes. The throng soon became druse inside the Mansion. The jßue Room, in which the receiving party stood, bepamesuffo catingly warm and the perspiration rolled from the President's face in streams. The corridors were choked with people, and before the police could induce them to move into the Past, ltoom, some ladies fainted. This was the first time since ISSI when a president's wife lias appeared at a New Year's reception in the White House, and the first in thirty years since a Democratic President's wife has presided there, 1867 being the last year that President and Mrs. Pierce were at the Executive Mansion. Con sequently the pleasure expressed at baying so young a lady as Airs. Cleve land there is not a matter of surprise. One member of the Corps Diplomatique tells a story about another enthusiastic diplomat wpo was so delighted with Mrs. Cleveland, that, alter shaking bands with her, he testified Ids admira.- tion by kissing the inside of his own hand which had touched hers. Cong'ess will convene again to-mor row. Since it adjourned for the holi days, General Logan's death lias made the Illinois Senatprship i\ subject of in teresting speculation", ft L regarded as a matter of considerable political im portance, for the reason that whoever receives the complimentary vote of the Democratic Members of the Illinois Legislature, naturally become a conspicuous figure ol' his party two years hence, in case the Democrats i should then control the Legislature. It is too early to gay what elfect the death of General Logan will haye upon his party, but the opinion is freely ex pressed here that the Republican or ganization of Illinois wi'l he seriously broken by the loss of its trusted leader, so much so as to render the capture of the state by the Democrats, at i lie next election, more than probable, lJy that time it will he thirty years since an Ill inois Democrat was elected to the United fcycates Senate and the scramble for the place, with the slightest chances Qf success, would be unprecedented.

MICHIGAN Crry, Lid,, Jan. 2 —The present storm on the railroads is the worst in this locality in live years. For tunately the weather is not yery cold, or the roads would be unable to move a train. There is over five feet of . now on a level in the exposed places, while in the ravines it is some six feet deep. The Michigan Central had lo abandon several of their passenger trains, one at Nib's, going west, and two east-bound trains here. Three west-bound passen ger trains became stalled in drifts IIv.• miles east of here and it required near ly all day, with five locomotives, to bring them on to this city. E st-bonnd trains had another had lime last night. The New York fast express became caught near New Ruffulo and the Grand Rapids train following crashed into the reasgd,imaging a Wagner sleep ing car and injuring the fireman,named King, besides the porter. No freight trains are running on this line. On the Wabash loid much the same trouble is being experienced. Thine engines were required to take cut the regular day train, which had not reach ed Indianapolis after twenty-four horns' hard lighting with enow. The Louisville, New Albany and Chicago fared the best,but they had a great deal of trouble. To-night the weather is getting colder and bids fair to make railroading well n:gh impossible to* morrow. At Laporte, lud., the storm that commenced on Friday evening did not cease until about 0 o'clock this morn ing, The cgupw tlpge feet deep in tho city and immediate vicinity, but ten miles west 1!. is from four to live in depth. No mail has been received over the Chicago and W.st Michigan lload Friday night and last night a Wabash train \yas some three hours coming from the city limits to the La portp deppt, p distance of jess than one half mile. Trains on the Lake teluue Road arc all belated and other travel lias been generally suspended. —THE GREAT ZINGAKI. For too.h ache and neuralgia ha..- nui qu.il. War- ! ranted.
