EDITOR JoURNAL:-On my way
East over the X. r., on the morning
of the 27th, I noticed that A. G..
Stacey, present editor and manager
of the Salina Herald, came into the
car and sat down with two ladies. One
of the ladies seemed to be very much
put out about some girl leaving her,
and she relieved herself by telling her
troubles to Stacey. He synlpathized
with her as only Stacey can. paid
no attention to the conversation until
my wife called my attention to 1t, as,
on account Of the talk being all abuse
Of foreigners, and Sweies in particu-
lar, she thought 1t was, perhaps, in
tended for Us. The lady insisted to
Stacey that the servant girls Of Salina
must be put down; that she had had
enough of them: that she would pre-
fer the Chinese to the Swedes, and
that the Swedes were q low people,
etc. Stacey answered: "fes, they
are q bad set. hate the whole tribe
Of them. but they are the controlling
element, and We have to endure them
until we can better ourselves" sit
ting across the aisle Of the car from Sta
cey. tapped him on the arm, and said ::
"The Swedes are had set, aint they,
St~cav ~, He answered .Hesv
asked him II he WAS any better than a
Swetie, aud he answered, ayes, a lit
tie" l remarked to him that In my
opinion he was lower than any Swede
I knew, and that defie,i him to prove
to the contrary. received no answer.
Stacey made few remarks TO the Ia
dies about tea-festivals and chOirs, and
then sneaked out Of the car. and was
seen no more there during the day.

THE great political contest between

THE great political contest between
Conkling and the administration.
which has been transferred from
Washington into every hamlet OF the
United States, is not raging with any
great amount Of fury just at present.
1t is the settled belief with q large
majority Of the Republicans that the
President has endeavOred to be fair,
and thus should be sustained; that q
war ON the administration will only
result in great injury to the party
that the caprices Of great but pettish
leader must not be made Of the para
mount importance which he desires.
No doubt the New York Senator Is
greatly chagrined that he is not re-
ceiving q more general Endorsement
from the country at large. He must
be fully satisfied by this time that all
the hopes Of the party are not centered
in him.

EVER since prohibition laws were

ton law was enacted by the legisla-
ture, but In the township on the Oppo-
site side Of the river the prohibition
does not prevail. The way the law
officers are euchered Is rs follows
Two ropes are stretched from the pro-
hibition side to the nOn-prOhibitiOn
side. Between the ropes q basket Is
suspended on slides with other ropes
attached to each side. When fellow
on the prohibition side wants drink
he goes down to the river and sounds
q cOnch horn kept there for the pur-
pose, and fellow on the opposite side
halls him and asks him what he will
have The order comes back for the
desired drink, which is generally for
plain whisky and a little ice. This Is
put In the basket on the other side,
and rapidly transferred to the prOhi-
bitiOn side before the ice has time to
melt, and the drink is taken out and
