A prominent citizen of English Prai-
RE passed hastily through the village
Tuesday morning on the way to his
| Illinois home. He came directly from
Salem, where he had been engaged in
strictly professional work, collaborating
with series of protracted meetings in
an endeavor to improve the standard
of morals prevailing there. His hands
gave forth an Odor of tar and feathers
scattered over his clothing. 1t is
understood that his work at Salem is
not yet completed and that he left only
to attend to pressing business else
where. As soon as the rush is over he
will return and carry out the remainder
of his contract. There are still several
delinquents who are slated for coat of
whitewash. 1t is said that no offenders
i will escape; not even those who are so
indiscreet as TO eat pie with a knife; an
alarming habit which we are assured
obtains extensively among the breezy
Salemites.

Republican Chances.

The silverite bolt in the ST. Louis
convention, and the practical certainty
that the Chicago assemblage will de-
clare for free coinage, will make new
partisan division among the states and
renders the old alignments and calcu-
lations obsolete. Some of the states
heretofore deemed safe for the repub-
licans will now be lost to them, while
several which the democrats have car
ried hitherto are likely to go repub-
lean this year. 1t is safe, however,
under the new conditions, to class these
eighteen states as surely republican:

EX-GOVERNOR jones FUNERAL.

A good man has departed" was the
general sentiment in Carson Wednesday
last, when the last sad honors were paid
to Ex-Governor John L. Jones. From
all parts of the State representatives
came to cherish his memory and repeat
to one another, "He was my friend"
The cold, the wind, and at intervals the
falling snow did not keep back the hun
dreds who wished to show the universal
esteem for the dexd. The State showed
its appreciation OF his services by flags
at half mast, and military display. The
University through its officers and Ca
diets showed its appreciation of the act
i've interest he took in its welfare. The
members of the Orphans Home were out
to attend the funeral of him who had
been a second father to them--a true
friend of the fatherless. Members OF
Masonic fraternity from every lodge in
the State came to assist at the burial of
brother to consign his body to moth
or earth in the hope OF glorious i'm
mortality. The Ex-Governor was a
Past Grand Master of Nevada, and the
Grand Lodge took charge Of the funeral
ceremonies.
The principal services took place in
thesCapitol building. After the impres.
sive service of the Masonic ritual was
concluded, President of the Univerity
delivered an eloquent eulogy upon the
character of the deceased, as states
man, citizen and man. A true heart
finding expression for its native good
ness in every circumstance Of life. One
of the most beautiful tributes to the
general love for the deceased was the
presence of the several clergymen OF the
city. The Roman Catholic and Episco-
pal ministers, clad in their official gar
ments stood side by side with their Pres
byterian brother and at the call of Grand
Master of Masons, in we'll chosen words
each bore witness to the noble life ol
him whom they all delighted to honor
Several pieces of music were sung by
well trained voices. The names we
never learned, but the pleasant, solemn
sounds still linger in our ears blending
in harmonies accord with a services not
soon to be forgotten. The services at
the grave were conducted by Grand
Master Strother and were most impress
sive. For little while the sun shone
out from tiny circle of blue AZ if to
show that a loving hope may brighten
all our sorrows and that its kindly ray,
may enter into the grave itself. Our
tenderest sympathies are extended to
the wife bereaved of SO good husband
and the children bereaved Of SO good a
father. t

MORE CIVIL SERVICE.

The following copy of letter from
the Commissioner OF Indian Affairs fully
explains itself. Perhaps the perusal of
its contents will be relished by the
readers of the DISPATCH. The order,
coming as it does in the eve of politi-

some Of our political friends, but they
will have to grin and bear it, and sub
nit to the inevitable:
"By direction OF the President Of the
United States and in accordance with
the 3rd clause of section 8 of the Act
entitled "An Act to regulate and i'm
prove the civil service of the United
States" approved January is, 1888, the
Honorable Secretary of the Interior is

1895, amending the classification of the

gratulate him and we congratulate the
