Concerning the Jonesey.

From the Chicago Herald.
1t is evident that Maj. Jones, of the
st. Louis Republic, is an officious
and meddlesome person whose en-
trance upon journalism in the west
was most disas trous to the democracy.
Before he introduced his peculiarly
fiippant and aIligatorish democracy
in st. Louis it was possible to elect
democratic congressman In that city.
Now there is q large and elegant
assortment of republic congress
men from that town and its vicin-
unity. When the mayors Semi
mole and Everglade democracy was
unknown in st. Louis democrat got
local Office there occasionally. Now
democrat In office In st Louis is as
rare q sight as crocodile IN Dakota.
When Major Jones was yet among the
unreconstructed Confederates of
Florida and his Billy Bowlegs jour-
nalism was unheard Of in the north,
Missouri was certainly democratic
state. Now any republican can come
within an ace Of carrying it.

The compromise IS as follows: The peo-
pie of Salisbury have been given in
Memphis good lots and without cost to
them of moving. The business men are
now moving, and IT is thought that every
one will accept the terms, as all are
offered tho same. If such should be

perity. 1t Is hoped that this Is the end

goun, chairman of the Atchison board Of

ports of the Atlantic and Pacific survey,

Since last une fifty-one railroad schemes

company, and laid upon the shelf, where
they will probably rest for some time.
The Atchisou does not need to build to

tected., Traffic from the Atchison' S vast

crossed the Atlantic and landed in the
far-famed city of Liverpool. From here
we visited the iormer homes Of some Of
England's great mon, among them
Coleridge, Wordsworth, Scott and
'Southey. His description made vivid
to us the Falls of Ladoa, Kesric lead
pencil factory and Druidical circle.
We then proceeded in mind to the
homes Of Carlyle, Mary Queen Of Scots
and Bobbie Burns. We took a peep
into the top room from which Tam
O'Shanter started on his famous ride
with the witches after him, and fol-
lowed him to the middle of the bridge.
We visited the famous cathedral Of
Glasgow, and the cities Of Clyde and
Dunbar. We closed our trip with a
tramp over the Grampian Hills. The
speakers enthusiasm and method Of
statement held the close attention Of
his audience. The subjects themselves
Interesting received an additional
