1othe Editor Of The Tribune.
JAMESTOWN, Feb. 12.--Ever since the
new management of the paper took hold
of your paper, have not agreed with the
views of your paper. When Lounsberry
ran the paper, we used to get a different
sort Of paper, but since he did the wrong
thing and sold out the paper we have had
a different sort of a paper don't like
your politics and don't like your style.
You live only on one side Of The fence in
your paper instead of on top of it. Besides
that you are sensational about what is GO
ing on Instead of telling what ought to go
on SO as to make people go on towards the
great center of the northwest. There is a
great many men as intelligent as one who
wants to see a paper tai e the part Of a pa
per, while you don't do anything but Dem
ocratic politics and go for big items just
because you get a chance to write big
items. .fs @
What we want is items telling about
the country so as to draw men here with
money to spend and when you don't do
that but only print what the people is act.
vlally doing you don't do me and the other
men who has invested in Jimtown jus.
tite z
Now, you don't run your paper right
and-you had better keep close to the line
or you will lose your Jimtown circulation
and we will use our influence against you
don't want this published and you will
find enclosed $3.50 for one years subscrip.
tion, and if you will only show up this
part Of the country and give the Alert and
Foster a good setting up, you will make
some money. JAMES BAIRD.

Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The fol-
lowing is a continuation Of report of
the proceedings of the senate in ses-
sion last night:
The question was then taken on the
amendment of Mr.. Shields to pension
the Mexican veterans as amended on
the motion of Mr.. Hoar, and it was
disagreed to by vote of yeas 20, and
nays %. The bill then passed-yeas
A nays 3.
Mr.. Allison made report from the
committee on legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, that
they we're unable to agree. He said
the committee could agree upon every
question in the bill except the politi-
cal questions. 1t might as we'll be
understood that the question of an
extra session depends on the political
questions involved in two or three of
the bills; that if it was the intention
Of the gentlemen to insist on that
legislation, and there could be agree
ment, there must be an extra session.
On his motion another committee of
conference was ordered, on which
Messrs. Hill, Window, Allison and
Beck were appointed.
On motion of Mr.. Ferry the senate
bill exclusively establishing post routes
in various parts of the States passed
Mr.. Allison made the report

After free consideration they fine

Matthews to be true, and that he haC

any corrupt conduct in any of tn,

TEXAS grOans over the number of
its thieves, murdercrs and scoundrels.
There are now in the State, it is said,
an average of four murders per diem,
while the government is so weak hat
it does not try to protect its own wit
nesses on the stand Lately State S
witness in a murder case was knocked
down and stabbed in the streets Of
Palestine by half dozen friends of
the murderer. In other counties
shooting and assassination of State s
witnesses is now of almost weekly oc-
currence. Great fault is found with
the ineficiency of Governor Roberts
administration. 1t started out by re-
voking all rewards for the apprehen-
sion of murderers offered by its pre-
decessor, and openly declared that it
is not its policy to spend any money
to bring back into Texas fugitives
from justice.

SENATOR Logan is member of the
Methodist church, though you would
not have thought it. He used to be
Catholic, as his father, an Irish doc
tor and horse trader, with too thick a
brogue to be cut with a knife, was
before him. When the senator was
known at Murphysboro, down in Jack
son county, Illinois, as Jack" he
passed for a regular daisy" on race
course, and could play the fiddle better
than any other violinist in the West.
The present Mrs. Logan, who is really
the senatorial part of John, was Mary
Cunningham, an Irish girl, as beauti-
fql as Hebe and as smart as chain
lightning.

THE example of Thomas j. Jarvis.
recently inaugurated as governor Of
North Carolina, is of interest to young
Americas. Governor Jarvis told, in
his inaugural address, that when he
labored and toiled a poor boy on lit
tie farm near the sea, he read about
the governor of North Carolina, and
his young mind imagined the position
to be the highest on earth. He won
dercd as he delyed and hoed whether
it was possible for him to ever attain
such an exalted station. The pros
pect seemed gloomy, but" he added,
II have to-day reached the goal of my
youthful ambition" Unlike Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, Governor Jarvis can
hold his Office with the consciousness
that he was elected.

A noted revolution has Just been
accomplished-but be not alarmed,

cuss French politics or the aspects of

| speak is whollya pacific one, yet il
will be marked in its effects, inasmuch
as its tendency is to make our pretty

allude to the sudden and marked
change that has passed over the heads
Of the female society leaders of Paris
in the matter of arranging their hair.
The old Puritan preacher who took
for his text, "Topnot come down -
e. Let him that is upon the housetop
not come down would surely have
felt satisfied with the new fashion.
All pufis and bows and braids
and fussifioations on the top of
the female head have vanished
into thin air. The Parisian
bellies now wear their hair simply
parted in front and either waved or
crimped, as best suits the style of the
face, and coiled at the back in a
braided knot placed rather low A
single large flower placed at the side
of the knot and dropping on the neck
is the only ornament that fashion now
sanctions. This new coiffure is not
only simple and natural, but it is won
derfully becoming, the beautiful shape
illness Of the feminine head coming
fully into view for the first time in
many years. The suddenness as well
as the universal way in which this
new style has been adopted is very re-
markable.
