We believe that all good citizens of
Salina no matter what may have
been their former belief with reference
to licensing saloons or the amend
ment, are united in the determination
to use all their power to have the
amendment strictly enforced and the
whiskey traffic put down. Hence, on
and after the LIST Of May, there will
be no encouragement given to dealers
in liquors, and steps will be taken to
have the laws now ON our statute
book pertaining to the trafYlc fully and
strictly enforced. The question as to
whether the sale Of liquor should be
barred in our State has been fully
tested by vote Of the people, and all
lovers Of law and order are determined
that the law shall be enforced. 1t
Is but simple justice that it should
be. All officers whose duty II IL to
enforce the laws should be called to Q
strict account for any failure to do
their duty. 1t Is desirable to test ,the
efficiency of these enactments, TO see
whether they will do the good that
was expected Of them; to ascertain
whether they are defective In any Of
their provisions, that subsequent
amendments and changes may remedy
the defects. All this can b iound out
only by . strict enforcement Of the
laws.

The good news comes from Morris
county that bonds In aid Of the TOpe.
ka, Salina 4 Western railroad were
carried i'm four of the Ave townships,
last Monday, by good majorities. In
the fifth township there were only
about IS voters, and most of these
were stock growers and owners Of
large tracts Of land-in fact about one
half the land In the township - the
balance of II belonging to spectators.
Their argument was, that II the road
should be built, the emigration would
be heavy, and the remaining land
would be divided into small farms,
which would interfere with their
grazing privileges. They had the
power to defeat the proposition and
consequently did 1t. Last Saturday
the bonds were carried in one town
ship Of Wabaunsee, and next Satur-
day the second and only remaining
township votes upon the proposition.
Thus the voting Of bonds for the road
will be completed next Saturday. The
bonds have not been lost In any place
along the proposed line except In the
township above noted. The pre-
dictions of the X. p. strikers are thus
knocked into a cooked hat.

On Tuesday we visited the marble
yard of Palmer & Guild, to view q
beautiful family monument which
has been ordered by Mr.. A. c. Sloan,
late Of this city, but now of New
Mexico. The monument when placed
I'm the cemetery, will be next In size
to the Powers monument, and one Of
the most elegant in design and finish
in this State. As compared with the
ordinary marble work we see In this
country. this shaft Is matchless. The
marble is the finest, the finish without
blenish. the lettering and figures
harmonious, the general style artistic.
1t Is q credit to the sculptor And q
grand advertisement for the Salina
Marble Yards. We notice, also, that
Mr. Sloan has a fine three-inch slab
for his brothers grave - the lamented
w. c. Sloan, late county clerk. The
monument referred to will be set up In
the cemetery next week and we would
advise our friends who desire to see
some very meritOrious work that when
they visit the cemetery they will ex-
anime this beautiful marble work.

A correspondent from Garden City,
this county, writing to the st. Paul
Dispatch says:
Our county is suffering very much
with wet weather, but We have one
thing to cheer us up in these dark days
The Republican doctrine seems to be in
thriving condition in Blue Earth
county. We shall probably elect our
entire Republican ticket on the 9Th of
November, which is thing to be thank.
full for. Please abolish the Office OF
railroad commissioner, so say we all,
Five thousand dollars is too much to
throw away.
Noah is also little ahead. The farmers
can't plow, can't thresh, can't husk corn,
can't do much of anything. Many
farmers have not plOwed furrow.
Much of the wheat is damaged in the
stack. Twenty water mills in Blue
Earth county are idle to-day. The dams
were taken out last spring, and the water
has been too high to repair them. Only
two or three are running.
This correspondents prediction as re-
CARDS election, corresponds with the
opinion of the majority of the voters in
the county, but how will General Baker,
the candidate for railroad commissioner,
and a resident of Garden City township
take the opinion of his own townsman
as to the adjustment of the Office.
Methinks the General will search out
that correspondent and administer to
him a rebuke.

He says
I wish to appeal to the good sense and
humanity of all interested for the aboli-
ton of the senseless practice of driving
at slow walk at funerals. 1t is the liv-
ing that are to be considered, not the
dead /; and comfort and health are often
imperiled by senseless adherence to a
mere custom. There are circumstances
which should, however, govern the mat
ter, but in all cases the comfort primari.
ly of the afflicted and, as is often the
case, care-worn and health-impaired
friends of the deceased should be first
considered.

Ii. c. Howard has recently been out
into Dakota, near WatertOwn, and re-
ports an immense congregation of wild
game there, especially geese and ducks.
He says that wild geese on the wheat
stubblc in Dakota were as thick rs
black birds in this country, and relates
one instance of their rapacity. A farm
er had field Of corn, and to keep the
geese from eating it all up had to
have it constantly guarded, and when
he got the corn cut and put in stocks
and attempted to haul it home Il flock
alightcd on stock and dcvOured il
before they could be driven off. II. C.
says the wheat stubble up there are
like hazel brush and "A man falling
upon them is likely TO be killed. This
Dakota is a wonderful country. Now
you must not think these exaggerations
are Mr.. Towards, for they are not, but
actual realities. Mr.. Howard, every one
knows is not Christopher Longbow
man.
