Ought to be Retained.

Among those who have been hold
ing clerkships at Washington, accred-
tied to Kansas, is Mrs. NJ. f. Conway,
but we learn she has been recently re-
moved because "Kansas had more
clerks than she was entitled to-" 1t is
true that we have been charged with
more than we were entitled to, but the
most al them were bogus, and had no
more claim upon Kansas than upon
New York. Mrs. Conway is q genu-
inc Kansan, she is a worthy and de-
serving woman, and ought to be re-
ined.-Leapenworth Times.

It Means Business.

The presence Of the Russian fleet in
our waters is said 10 mean business,
not pleasure. They are ready TO
pounce upon English vessels should
they, otter declaration of war, go TO
carrying arms for Turkey. And while
the Dukes Alexis and Constantine are
taking dinners with HAYES and shoot
ing ducks about the bays OF New \ ork
they are watching what may prove
rich prizes. England acted SO dishon-
orable with The United States Govern
ment during The late war that should
she get her fingers badly burned no
one will cry on this side of the water.
