it, and doubtless those congressman who
pride themselves on their financial

studying it. Whether it will be adopted

adds that he may at a later day send in

Corn husking is nearly over and the

Of corn to the top and the drive ways

Had Gerard and Decker waited a

over the use of a moving outfit under

averted, as the trucks are now broken
down and the building stands on the

Should it remain so located long enough
no doubt some senator-elect together

The influence OF o good man 10 fell
long years after his departure from
scenes OF earth, not only by the record
in printed words that he has left, but in
the influence upon the living with whom
he came in contact, and in the never
ending impress made upon character and
thus transmitted to future generations
Many young persons, readers OF Tn
JOURNAL, will remember W. p. Jones
late Of the Normal school at Fremont
ss one OF their best teachers, and among
the most genial Of men. He carried
with him always, the halo OF intelligence
seeking to. benefit mankind. In the
Evanston Nll.) Press OF the 7th, VI no
tice q partial sketch OF his life, which
contains q passage worth reproducing
It will be remembered thet Mr.. Jones
was founder and for many years presi.
dent OF the Northwestern female college
at Evanston, now an annex OF the great
university at that place. He was sent
in 1852, a. consul to China by President
Lincoln:
ut VA during his residence in the
celestial kingdom that the old Chinese
wall, which prohibited intercourse with
portals Of the ancient empire opened and
the wealth OF early civilization blended
with the progress and thought Oi
modern times. While in China Mr..
Jones was sent on q special mission ia
Pekin. which resulted in q settlement oil
the difficulty growing out Of the opium
war and the destruction OF American
property in Canton. Rev. DR.. Tai.
mage once said Of Mr.. Jones' work as
consul at Canton: No account of his life
in China, and effort to do good to these
people would be complete without a
record OF his efforts to have the surplus
Of the indemnity paid by China to the
United States repaid to China in the way
that would render to her the greatest
and most permanent advantage
Returning to this country, MI. Jones
connected himself with the Chicago
press; but longing for his chosen voca-
ton, that OF q teacher, he assumed the
presidency OF the Fremont Normal
school, Fremont, Neb., where, in the
midst Of his years Of usefulness, he re-
ceived the final summons, leaving the
precious memory of life devoted to the
elevation and betterment Of his kind"
In the spirit Of his educational work,
MI. Jones always reminded us Of Horace
Mann. the justly celebrated president Of
Antioch COLLEGE and a great moral force
wherever he appeared. We think il Mr..
Jones could have had his health, he
would have done untold good for the
youth OF Nebraska.

Washington Letter.

Postmaster General Wanamaker pro.
poses to use all Of the influence ut his
command to assist Senator Paddock in
getting his bill passed, which provides
for relieving the railway mail service
from the operation Of the civil service
law. The bill which has already been
introduced in the senate, stands q good
show Of passing, and some people think
that Senator Vanceis bill for the repeal
Of the entire civil service law may also
be passed. Speaking Of the civil service
law Senator Paddock says: II look upon
the system as q humbug, which in its
operation perverts the main idea Of q
republican form of government" Sena-
tor Vance says on the same subject: ut
is losing strength in both parties, he
cause it has given no results that are
creditable."
The first week Of it's existence congress
did little else but organize, and there ia
little probability that it will get fairly
down to business until after tho Christ
mas recess Very little can be done in
the house before all the committees are
appointed, but Speaker Reed announcing
some Of them before the holidays has
done well-better than the most of his
predecessors.
The biggest sort Of q sensation was
created at the capitol last Thursday by
the announcement that c. e. Silcott,
cashier OF the sergeant-at-arms Office of
the house Of representatives, had alb
sconded with something like $4,000. It
was particularly embarrassing to Mr..
Leedom, the retiring sergeant-at-arms,
who wa just preparing to turn the Office
over to his newly-elected successor, Mr..
Holmes. The money taken was the sal
aries Of members Of the house, and Just
who will have to lose it is not yet SET
tied, owing to the slip-shod way this
Office has conducted it's business for
years. A committee of the house, as
sisted by several expert accountants
from the treasury department, are en-
gagged in making q thorough investiga-
ton Of the sergeant-at-arms Office, and
their report, which il expected early this
week, il anxiously looked for. Nj. Sill
colt was brought here from Ohio by Mr..
Leedom nix years ego, and since that
time it II estimated that 1t least $780,
have passed through his hands.

and even in addressing q letter to
q friend who is held in any sort of esti-
nation the term "Illustrious Senior" is
frequently employed. This lisa gracious
feature Of the Latin races, notably of
those which are grouped under the
Italian or Spanish branches of the grand
old stock, and it is done on the principle
that you can catch more flies with
molasses than vinegar. The sensible
portion of the American people will
watch with great curiosity for some
practical outcome of the Congress. That
Mr.. Blaine will make courtly and &C.
ceptable President of that body can
scarcely be doubted by those who know
anything of the finesse and courtesy Of
the Secretary Of State, but as long as the
French, English and Germans can under.
sell the manufacturers Of the United
States they will probably continue to con-
troll the markets of Central and South
America. The American taxpayers, in
stead of being unduly excited by the
polite speeches Of the Spanish American
press, are looking around anxiously for
that era of prosperity and plenty which
the administration of Harrison was to
inaugurate Immediately, if not sooner.
Until the gloom at least partially lifts
from this country they cannot be excited
to a great pitch of enthusiasm by the
iridescent hues which are made to flash
from South and Central American skies.

FACTORIES AT Lawrence ana Lowell
Inspected.
BosToN, October THE delegates to
the Pan-American Congress left here this
morning for visit to Lawrence and Lo-
we'll.
At Lawrence the delegates inspected
the Pacific cotton mills and Russell 3 pa
per mills. They evinced deep interest
In the workings. The party started for
Lowell at l 80 p. m.
They returned here in the early even
ing. They visited three concerns in Lo-
we'll and saw 5000 operators at work.
The day has been the first one of the
solid business lines upon and within
which the International Congress is pro-
jected. The foreigners, in several
instances have placed themselves
in closer relation with the manufactur.
ing interests they have visited. They
have carefully and shrewdly observed
what they have seen. They have talked
of prices, terms and business methods
with the heads of the establishments Wis.
tied. Mexico, for instance, indicated in
terest in carpets, and Costa RIGA has
scrutinized prints with business purposes.
The party dined aboard the train while
returning to Boston from Lowell, and
upon their arrival here were driven to
the theater, where the evening was
spent.
VIM. E. Curtis, who, under direction
of the State Department, is in charge of
the expedition, has received q great
number Of kilograms from cities which
are importunate that the train and it's
occupants shall stop for inspection and
entertainment. Curtis desires, through
