The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1872-1881, 1881-01-21

We, the culoiNu ltVpit VI N'ht"NNli
have heretofore demonstrated our ca.
paciiy to raise he'll, and all peace Low.
sng people are requested to aid US in
raising the funds necessary for raising
some more hell The incendiary tone
and false allegations contained in the
resolutions and address will prevent
many from lending that aid to the os.
tensible objects Of the meeting that
they would otherwise have given.
The reform that is sought must be OBJ
tanned by reasonable aud regular
methods. IL can not be obtained
through bravado, falsehood or revolu-
ton. Some very iniudicious adviser
must have squatted behind the Chair
man of the Stanford meeting" THE
INTERIOR Journal has, on several
occasions, urged the unjust discrimi-
nation made against the negroes 10
taxes and school money, but We are
sure they have made bad move to
obtain redress. We do not believe
that the meeting understood the true
meaning Of the address, else il
would not have sent out one so in
iiammatory and false. A little cooler
demand would have answered much
better purpose.
We HAVE it from good authority
that the report that Col. A. NJ. Swope
is to be bounced from the Collector
ship of the Seventh (Ky.) District;
and that Judge Sneed, Of Frankfort,
is to succeed him, is wholly without
foundation. This will he gratifying
news to the Colonel's friends all over
the State, especially here where he
was born and raised. While dis.
pising Col. Swope politically, We have
always felt proud of the good reports
that Government officials have made
Of the business like and correct man
ner in which he conducts the affairs Of
his office. His accounts have always
squared to a cent, and we doubt if
better official is in the service, or
one more polite and accommodating.
We are for the Colonel to retain his
position for life on good behavior, if
Republicans are always to rule this
country, which, Of course, we hope and
believe God will forbid.
"A METHODIST takes Us to taw' on
the outside of this issue, because we
remarked sometime ago that there
was"a moral and religious tendency in
the Drama" or words to that effect
Each one of the dramatizations. as
performed by decent companies, al
ways ends in the triumph Of the vir.
tuous and good and in the punishment
of the wicked, and no one who wit.
nesses them can but feel the better,
and have a greater respect for virtue.
Morality is necessary adjunct
to religion, if it is not religion itself,
and il is in this sense that we think it
reverts TO the cause Of good. Yes,
Brother Methodist, we can ask
blessing ON every performance that
we intend shall be given in the new
Opera House.
GAIN has been searching the rec
ords, aud has found that Jay Gould
was the most magnificent giver to the
Republican fund in the late contest.
At first he refused to contribute at
all, owing to the bad treatment by the
party, but he got in good humor
before the Indiana and Ohio elections,
when he sent the National Committee
a check for 100000. Afterwards
when assured that more funds were
absolutely needed, he planked down
$40, 900 more. If Jay Gould contin-
ues TO grow into power as he has
heretofore, for the next four years, all
that will be necessary will be for him
to name his candidate for President,
in 1884, and then buy him into the
White House.
