But since the eulogy has been 'sfranked''
to us, we must give our readers the benefit OF
few "elegant extracta;'
The State OF Iowa VII, at the expiration
Of the present session OF Congress, recali
from her service in the United States Scnate
one of the most aborious, faithful, and eth :
Gent public servants that have ever repre-
sented any people in any government-den.
George w. Jones.
General Jones is not high-sounding or
afor. He has made but few speeches in the
senate, and never has he spoken unless I'M
PEELED by political necessity; but his speech
es have been always terse, able ana appro-
pirate. Ne man better than he understands
tho true purposes Of language, the exact I'M
port of words, and the happiest modes OF
expression, either in public speech or In pri-
vate conversation.
General Jones is not a great priter; he
has never burdened the shelves Of the book
seller with unsold political trash he has new
err hired himself out by the night as a star
lecturer. He makes no preiensions to that
extraordinary power which entrances the gal
leries. He ia as unobtrusive upon the atten-
ton of the Senate as honest Nathaniel Ma
con.
Rich in the gratitude of a free people, he
will retire with clustering honors gathering
around his quiet home, and there ENJOY the
grateful consolation that he has held office
only to discharge it's duties; and that not he,
but his constituents, suffer IN the change.

A s,orrupt Court.

The character of Buchanan's Royal Court
and the influences which prevail to corrupt
the entire administration of government are
indicated not only by the reports OF investl-
eating committees in their developments OF
fraud, bribery and corruption, but are clear
ly indicated by the general reputation Of
Buchanan's Office holders. Douglas, in
speech made by him in the Senate, set forth
the character Of the government oihciais IN
coors all shading into the blackness Of dark
ness, and tho character drawn by this master
hand for the officials Of Illinois, will answer
with slight adaptations, for the Federal ap
poinsees in other States. With some honor
able exceptions, they are reckless politicians
of the worst character, many Of them sots,
and many moro devoid of single trait OF
character to commend them to the confidence
OF the public.
By the recent tragic event in Washington
it is made the duty Of Mr.. Buchanan to ap-
point n successor to the District Attorney
who has just suffered the fatal penalty OF
his own crime. 1t will be the duty Of that
appointee to prosecute Mr.. Buchanan'i
friond, Sicsles, for the murder Of that offices
OF the law whose duty it was to prosecute
other criminals. 1t is to be hoped that thu
President will 20 beyond the immediate
circle of his own familiar friends in order Il
secure the services Of some oae whose char
acter and reputation will be accepted as
guarantee to the public of honesty and puri

ALKxAspRrA, August 8, 1889.
3 hey n, Greenawsy, pastor Of the Methodist
Pfotetant chnrch, d ,livered yesterday his eighth
seri.l sermon, on the sezt. What think ye Of
Chrin,n Matthew, xxii, 40. His theme was on
tho redemption ~ the world, founded upon the
moral government OF God. In his erordium he
observed: ssfhe lsw by which our first parents
were governed was evidently in full force up TO
the time IL was transgressed, and the law having
been broken, IL became absolutely necessary that
the penalty should he forthwith executed, or an
atoIement made" In the further prosecution Of
his subject he observed that q cd could not forgive
sin upon mere personal prerogative. .On this point
he observed that the fact thai the world has been
redeemed by the death Of Christ furnishes strong
Prcsunptiye evidence that IL not the oAly waV,- il
was the best way that the world could be re
deemed. A careful study of the Sacred Scri ptures
cannot fail to impress with the fsctfhat holiness
la God is much more than a mere absence Of moral
evil, more than approval of moral goodness, and
more than simple aversion to the contrary. with
respect 10 the justice Of God he remarked that this
attribute OF the Divine nature lies ut the very foun
dalton of the Christian doctrine of aionement In
referring to this subject the sperker offered
pointed arguments in vindication OF the Divine
justice. After anmadverting upon the evils Of the
leading thought which was that God could not
pardon offence upon mere repentance. This, he
remarked, was evident from the fact that we find
no lntnation in the Scripture that the penalty Of
the law is not to be executed in Of repentance.
There was none given in the law TO Adam, none
in the Decalogue, none in the Old or New Tesla
ment. He claimed, furthermore, that repentance
did not change the legal relation Of the guilty be-
fore God. Penitent they NAV be- but offenders
they must be- No man has right to expect a re-
mission of his crimes because he is penitent

Upon seeing that he was observed he made a
