the girls down them for hours at a

Up on the top of the slide, which is
decked at the sides by evergreens and

The Late John Looney.
St Louis Evening Chronicle.

st Louis Evening Chronicle.
According to the popular idea ot
Mr.. John Looney, deceased the rule
of nothing but good of the dead
would make his obituary and epicede
of the briefest. Yet Looney had
friends and his friends say he had
VIRTUES. For the sake of human
nature LET us not disbelieve them.
He was the Billy McGlory of St
Louis. or rather to give him his due,
McGIory was almot the Jack Looney
of New York.
As a prize-fighter, a dancehouse-
keeper, the intimate associate of
shelves and prostitutes, Looney was
well known. but we knew him best as
a product of modern politics.
Could his life be written truthfullv,
what a sermon it would be--what a
commentary on republican institutions
as they prevail liz The large cities of
the United States
He had long been power in this
city. Men who would blush to be
seen with him ON the street for the
sake of their eminent responsibility
have not blushed to be closeted with
him on the eve of elections. 1t Was un-
pleasant maybe. but it was necessary
He gave the Fasces. and took away

brother. -
He is dead now, and vet he speak
eth. He lives in our politics and will
live until the corruption in them
undermines the barriers and draws
down the inevitable catacIysm. One
of the dragons teeth, he is covered
with earth but that a hundred of his
kind may spring from the soil above
him armed at all points and menac-
ing.
A vampire of the republic, we can
not keep him down with any stake.
