EDITORS JoURNAL,-We see that sub
scriptions are being solicited for the
purpose of exploring for coal in this
vicinity, but notice more or less in
difference manifested towards the enter
prise, which, We think, ought to receive
the support OF every citizen OF Saline
Co. No one pretends to say that coal
in large bodies does exist, but it will
never be known until an effort is made
to find out. Small veins OF Ignite coal
have been found, but not OF sutiicien,
extent to DO profitable. II Is thought
that BY sinking shaft from 300 to 800
feet, coal may be discovered equal to
that found in eastern Kansas, and should
it be even at a greater depth it can be
mined and put IN the market at a cost
Of about one-fourth or one.third of its
present cost to the consumer. Surely
the public ought to bear the expense OF
the enterprise, as all will be benefited
thereby. 1t would not be more than
Just tor the county or the City of Salina
to give something. What is wanted Is,
for every business man to lend helping
hand in proportion to his means. $500
or $1,000 is u small matter tor this com
munity to raise, compared with the cost
of our present supply of coal, and
nothing will so stimulate the manuiac-
turing interest rs the discovery Of a
productive coal field. We trust every
citizen will at once assist in this matter,
and thus hasten results that may very
materially affect the general prosperity
of the whole community.

What is known as the Riggs Railroad
Commissioner bill was defeated in the
House of our Legislature by q vote OF
IS to 5l,-not receiving Constitutional
majority. Our member, Mr.. Faulk ner,
voted for the bill. As near as we can
learn, the bill was Objectionable in
many particulars, and yet it must have
answered the purpose of the people in
some respects, as there was q large
lobby of railroad men on hand, who
made strenuous efforts to defeat it. Ii
il not probable that any legislation
against railroads will DO effected this
winter, as the session is now nearly at
its close. However, the ball has been
put in motion, and the indications are
that VIC shall ere long have Legisla-
ture which will do something about
controlling the railroads.

In the French Chamber Of Deputies
the amnesty bill has been absorbing
their time and attention. Shall the
Communists be pardoned is tho ques-
ton. Some of the Deputies urge that
the amnesty should be plenary. The
example OF our Government ct the con-
clusion of the late war il quoted as the
rule which should govern them. 1t was
"magnanimous" for US to pardon those
who strove to tear our Government
asunder, and that magnanimity creates
wonder among governments which are
not Of the people. Under the present
regime, o French Communist can hardly
be regarded such traitor as it was
popular to consider Q rebel in our
country Is years ago, and hence a
Deputy thinks that if the United States
could afford to pardon such one. he
can certainly vote for an amnesty which
is plenary for the Communist.

The Advocate of last week, in heary
article, bombards US with the following
sentences:
Last week the Journal had a heavy
piece (three inches in length in favor
of Grant for next President, and dc
claring Hayes "policy" failure. How
odd! Let il look back through its old
files and see how II raked the Advocate
for, denonnling that same "policy" as
weak medicine.
We have looked carefully through our
files, and find in our paper no reference
whatever to the Advocates position
upon the Presidents policy. There is
not even an allusion to it in any number
of the JOURNAL. But while upon the
subject We would say this: The JOURNAL
always held that President Hayes was
honest in his endeavors to bring abou,
complete reconciliation. The JOURNAL
further believed that it was better to ex-
tend the olive branch, and try policy
which hsd been urged with so much
feeling and honesty by some of the best
men of the nation, and thus safety the
conservative feeling OF the country
which had grown to such large proper,
tons that it could not be ignored. II
the Farmers Advocate, Chicago Inter
Ocean, st. Louis Globe. and other lead.
ing papers of the country, had done
what they should have done to sustain
President Hayes and his policy, We
believe he might have had many more
chances for accomplishing that which
was desired BY ail-peace for oil time

Kansas.
At two o'clock p. m. on Friday, Feb
18th, the last meeting OF the Christian
Cooperation Society Of the Salina dis
trict commenced in Abilene. II cen
tinued over Lords day. There were
delegates present from 4bIlene, Man
haitian, Salina, Minneapolis and Wheat
land who gave encouraging accounts of
the progress OF the Masters cause
throughout the district. "a number OF
additions and large active member
ship"was the joy fui aud almost universal
report heard from the various churches
along the limo. which chImed in hsr-
mOniously with the hopeful tone OF the
entire meeting. Not one Encouraging
report was received. There are more
preachers in the district than ever be-
fore. Bros. David Husband, IF Salina,
and George J. Root, of Minneapolis,
were sent out as evangelIsts TO labor in
this secticn-each one half Of the time
during the coming FIX months. Bretheren
wishing meetings, or knowing OF de
sirabls places for holding them, are re
quested to notify these evangelisis.
The meeting was feast OF enjoy mcni
and made q bright preface for the pro-

A letter written from Leadville gives
some good advice to persons who think
OF going to that place. He says that
persons without money aud unaccus-
toned to hard work had better stay
away. Mechanics are in demand. La
borers in the mines can get $500 per
day, but it is hard work. The price OF
mines Is now very high. The purchase
of them is lottery business. Many of
them are "salted." Living is high, and
rents are enormous.

Kansas City, of course, wants the
Indian Territory opened up to settle
ment. Her trade interests will be bene-
flied by this. But the State of Kansas,
from one end to the other, decidedly
objects to the "opening." She is selfish
enough to wish for herself all the emf
grafton coming westward. Open up that
great and fertile territory, and it will be
bag which will never be filled. Facts
are stubborn things, you know; but il
does not do any harm to tell them once
in a while.

4 CHINESE WALL.

Mr.. Walker, who spent some years in
China, says he believes the Chinese
Embassy, while apparently opposed to
the anti-immigration bill, have been
secretly urging its passage. He says
the Pekin Government is scarcely aware
of the existance of Chinese element in
this country, and Its people in America
are never thought of in the consideration
of State affairs. Ever since the inva-
sion of Pekin by the allied European
forces the Chinese have steadily oppos-
ed concessions to foreigners. Instead
of troubling themselves about the intro
duction of Chinese with the United Sta
tes, they have been striving TO devise
means to exclude American ':foreign
devils" from China. Mr.. Walker SAYS
he was in Pekin about the time the
Burlingame treaty was under discussion
there, and it was with the greatest re-
luctance that it was accepted. If the
President fails to veto the bill, and it be-
comes Iaw,it will give the Chinese the
lever in their dealings with foreigners
for which they have been seeking for
twenty years. China, with its splendid
arsenals and trained military, will soon
be in q position to defy European IN
reference. In the meanwhile Ameri-
cans will be placed at disadvantage
with other traders. A market which
might take 500, 600, 900 worth of Amcri.
can products may be closed, the Pacific
Mail Steamship company will be obliged
to abandon its Asiatic branch, and San
Francisco itself will be the greatest sui.
ferer. Merchants of New York have ex.
pressed themselves decidedly opposed
to the measure as one which will ma.
terially affect the trade of that city.

During the summer of 1878, DR.. E.
Tourjee, of Boston, took an excursion
party Of some 800 persons to Europe.
The trip was in every sense magni6-
cent success, and tho excurslonists re-
turned to their homes enthusiastic, not
only over what they saw and enjoyed
in the Old World, but also over the
splendid plans made BY DR.. Tourjee for
their safety, comfort and pleasure.
There is to be another excursion under
his management next Summer. 1t is
to 60 far ahead of the other trip, being
several days longer and with many
extra advantages, though for the same
pricc-S400 and $500. Il is quite the
thing to spend ones summer vacation
IN Europe now. 1t is thought that thu
ocean voyages do far moro for thu
health than stay at the sea-shore; and
even the matter of expense is scarcely
an obstacle at these club rates.
