THE opposition 10 St John on third
term" grounds is not nearly SO great
- 1t was. The principal opposition
now Is in the shape of an appeal to the
prejudices Of those opposed to prohib-
ition. But when II comes to that, the
question is raised why should johnson
be upported-who declares himself .
prohibitionist, and who was st. Johns
man for speaker and did as much rs
any man In the State TO place the tenn
perance law upon the statute book.
Gay the anti-prohibitionists, st. John
may be . temperance saint but he's q
shrewd one, and we would rather trust
him than q man who attempted to
play In the role of temperance saints,
and now comes trucking after our
votes. There Is really nothing in the
opposition-with johnson as the figure
head. The anti-prohibitionist may not
admire st. Johns course in most re-
spects, but he can't help give him
credit for his courage. his consistency,
and recognized ability throughout the
{. land. He would much rather be found
aghting In the ranks ofst. John. than
Be giving aid and encouragement to q

We noticed in YESTERDAYS Topeks

We noticed in yesterdays Topeka
Commonwealth dispatch from Fort
Scott to the effect that q report pre-
vailed there Of q combination having
been formed between Hanback,, Nor.
rill, Peters and Perkins. As far as
the first named gentleman is concerned
we believe we tell the truth when we
state that he has formed q combination
with no one. While the four named
gentlemen are all strong candidates,
we do not believe there Is any under
standing between them with regard
to any sort of a combination, and that
it has not even been talked Of by them.
This report probably originated with
some person who is eager to create q
sensation. 1t is only one Of many Of
the kind we shall now hear of until
the convention has closed its labors.

ONE year ego Blaine-was Secretary
Of State. and Conkling had resigned
his seat In the Senate, and was being
voted for at Albany for reelection.
The President, wearied by the cares
and perplexities Of his position, was
thinking Of the pleasure he should
take In enjoying the commencement
exercises Of his alma mater, unmind-
full Of the great trAgedy SO soon to
happen. The three men were then
the most prominent figures of the Ma
ton. A cruel death removed the one,
and the Others have stepped down
from their exalted positions into pri-
vate life, In obedience to the DEGREES
Of our political system, which are
sometimes rs memorable and relent-
less as death itself. Another race
Of politicians are the prominent men
now. But amid all the changes the
Government is prospecting rs well
now Is then. There was no revolu-
ton and no guillotine, when one ruler
went down and another went up.
Peace reign in all our borders. The
new Ministry" Is as able in most
particulars as the old. The feuds of
one year ago are forgotten in the new
issues of to-day. But no one can
tell what changes may take place
i'm another year. Conkling and
Blaine may be as prominent in official
life then, as they were one year ago.
Conkling's prospects i'm this direction
may he the most brilliant at present,
but no one can tell what fortune may
do IN twelve months to again place
Blaine as prominently IA ever before
the country.

THE STRIKES VIRTUALLY OVER.

The dispatches the past few days,
and especially this morning, indicate
that the strikes which have for several

fiuence upon many branches of bust
ness, are virtually over The in
| stances IN which the strikers have

tween, and where there IL an appar-
ent victory IL Is SO barren I'm its results,
when all things are considered, that
II cannot be set down as such. 1t has,
In reality, been o costly lesson to the
strikers, but II remains to be seen
whether or not they will profit there
by. or be lead away in the future by
the demagogues who generally head
such movements from purely selfish
motives. The proper way to settle
these troubles il by honorable arbitra-
ton, and until the labOrers cease their
efforts to bulldoze their employers
through the medium Of strikes they
will have little sympathy from the
general public. An honest, manly
course will always secure them the
good wishes Of the community; at
tempts to force matters and resorts to
lawlessness insure them the ill-will of
all.-LearenworM Times.

We brought two hives Of the CON.
mon black honey bee here four year
EGO. and although they have sent Cd
about i've swarms for u there still
remains only two hives. I think there
are four reasons for this bad success
FsrA-Bees too small. We should
have brought the strong, large italian
bees on account Of the strong wind and
absence Of nowen.
Sec0Wd-Lack Of knowledge. A
kind friend persuaded % he could take
out one Of our queen bees for bis
queenless hive and our hive would
make another queen. But l guess they
didn't, for they all died.
7hird-To be truthful I must add,
carelessness. Several hives were
smothered by snow or froze One or
two hives died Of diarrhea apparent
ly).
Fourth-Not sowing buckwheat, at
least only one little patch, which .
luckless hail storm destroyed. So far
we have found the honey not 30 good.
nor 30 plentiful - It was In ILL.,.
their former State. 1t mostly
tastes very strongly Of smart weed. I
shouldn't wonder but what Q small
field of buck wheat would set them all
to rights. l think they are the pioneers
of Saline county, and We must try to
encourage them all we can. RIP.
