amused them by singing songs and distributed
gifts among them, and gave them some whole

BLAINE BALKS.

Last week the WORLD stated the
existence Of strong rumors that
James g. Blaine had determined not
to be candidate for president IN
1883.
For once, these rumors had solid
foundation. Chairman Jones, OF the
National Republican Central Com
mite, has received from Mr.. Blaine,
who is in Italy, letter containing
the statement that his name will
not 60 before the Republican con-
vention as candidate for the presl-
Dental nomination.
The WORLD would like to regard
this edict of Mr.. Rlaine's as conclu-
sive in his case; because, as long as
he has Mr.. Conkling's mulishness to
contend with in York state, his
chances there are doubtful, to say
the least. But, in the light Of Mr..
Blaine's magnetic influence through
out the Republican legions, it occurs
to us that this declaration Of his will
have the effect Of uniting in columns
still more strongly serried his friends.
If his friends shall see fit to use his
name as a candidate for the nominal
ton, he will be powerless to prevent

MEET AFTER SEVEN YEARS.

Last Tuesday, at Beloit, we met for the
first time, in the flesh, that bright news
paper man and genial gentleman, Hon..
w. S. Tilton, of the Wa-Keeney World.
Every week, for the past seven years, we
have jerked his paper out of pile of ex-
changes and said to ourself, "Here is the
Wa-Keeney w orld, Tilton will say some
thing" And he has never failed us;
he has always said something and to the
point. He has proved himself news
paper man worthy the name Gaylord
Herald, FEB. 2.
We (two) met then, as friend
Headley says, for the first time, in
the flesh. We then took chairs at
one side Of the Avenue Hotel office,
and had visit. It was case Of
love at first sight. Among the OBJ
servations which came early was one
to the effect that the two visitors
were as well acquainted with each
other as if they had met continually
during the time in which they have
been exchanging papers. This at
tachment which so often develops
between newspaper men is one Of the
compensations Of the treadmill bust
ness. Mr.. Headley is a humorous,
versatile, strong writer; and we
would consider week we'll nigh
lost in which his Herald failed to
come to our table.

w. 81. Lee, county treasurer of Lane
county, has been in town since Wednes-
day noon. He has fallen under the ban
of Inspector Thomas, on the ground OF
claiming land which should revert to the
government. It is hard-we came near
using a harsher and really more appro-
pirate term-for a man who has braved
the hardships of buffalo-grass-covered
Lane county for nine years, and who
has good portion of that time
printed good newspaper remote from
any town or hamlet, to be sat upon for
trying to defraud Uncle Sam out OF a
piece of land. If the government were
to pension Mr.. Lee for the rest of his life,
it would not then repay him for the suf-
fering he has endured in the pioneer
work of placing western Kansas in con-
dition which enables government revenue
to be paid by her population.

Il NEW PAPER.

We acknowledge the receipt Of
Rohrer's Sunday Chronicle, whose
first appearance was made last Sun
day at Abilene. This new paper, as
may well be imagined from it's name,
is intended to fill the atmosphere
Kansas Division, Union Pacific rail-
way, with Rohrerism in politics,
Rohrerism in the method of dishing
up the home news, Rohrerism in
volubility Of general reading, and
Rohrerism in versatility, spice, vine
gar and the thousand other conde-
ments which must go toward the
fill-up on an eight-column, eight
page newspaper each week. We
know G. W. c. Rohrer. Last win
ter he reported Legislative proceed
ing for his then phenomenal daily,
the Abilene Gazette. Socially, he is
one of the best fellows of our ac-
quaintance; politically, he is true
blue Republican,
There is no doubt that Rohrer's
Chronicle will thrive. We
want to see it do so.

Last year it was April Ia. The

We suspect that ex-County Su

about. At any rate, he, a short
time ago, wrote to the governor, rec
ommending that Arbor day be placed
earlier than it had been in the past.
He received a reply from Governor
Martin to, the effect that his sug-
eestion would be considered.

In company with Mr.. Cyrus Monroe,
we drove out to the Ewalt peach and
apple orchard, short distance southwest
of town, Monday afternoon. Mr.. Monroe,
who is an experienced grower of peaches,
tested buds on a number of the peach
trees, showing some of them to us. They
are alive, and, in the absence of some I'M
foreseen calamity. there is bound to be a
heavy crop of peaches on this place this
year.
The World takes unalloyed pleasure
in sending this good news to central and
eastern Kansas, where, in many localities
newspapers have reported the peach buds
winter killed.

HENRY KERFUs, a 16-year-old Hays boy
the Sentinel announces, has been sent to
the county Jail for ten days on the charge
of stealing can of oysters. Presumably,
the can contained either fresh or cove
oysters. That paper neglects to state
which. But the reading of this item set
us to thinking of how long that Justice

stealing hundred-dollar horse. If that
boy stole cove oysters, the time would be
thirteen years. eight months and fifteen
days; if the stolen oysters were fresh. the

and twenty-five days in Jail.

The Russell Convention

Lee Monroe, W. S. McGinnis, Geo. j.
Shepard and w. S. Tilton went to Russell
Thursday morning to attend the conven-
ton of real estate and other business men
in that city.
The convention was largely attended,
comprising delegations from each county
along the q. P. from Dickinson to Wal
lace, inclusive, and from the counties of
Pottawatomie and Cowley.
Early in the deliberations of the meet
ing the fact became apparent that any
organization which could be effected at
Russell on that day would dip too far in
to eastern Kansas to make it advisable for
the western counties along the q. P to
be connected Herewith.
In the afternoon all the delegations
from the counties of Trego, Cove, Logan
and Wallace withdrew from the conven-
ton, with the understanding that the
people of these counties will meet at an
early day, and organize an immigration
association. Later on, it was determined
by these western delegates to call meet
ing for this purpose at Grainfeld on
Thursday, Feb. %, 1888. It was agreed
that the counties of Graham, Sheridan,
Thomas and Sherman be invited to CO.
operate in this movement with the other
four counties named.
Mr.. Maxwell, of the freight department
of the q. P, was at the Russell conven-
ton. He informed various delegates
from our western counties that he would
be pleased to attend the meeting at
Grainfield, and do all in his power in the
way of granting railroad concessions to
our people. The fact is, the cheap lands
along this line of road are in the few
western counties, and here is where an
immigration organization should be Or
ganized.
AS we we're going to remark concerning
the Russell convention, the counties of
Ellis and Russell controlled the meeting,
and refused to concede the presidency or
the secretaryship to any of the four west
ern counties. This was accomplished by
the convention tabling the report of the
Committee on Permanent Organization,
which had named H. Brady, of Abilene,
for president, and Lee Monroe, of Wa
Keeney, for secretary. The convention
then proceeded, among other selections,
to select A. L. Voorhis, of Russell, presi-
dent, and Mr.. DISTANT, of Hays City,
secretary.
For the kind treatment of the Russell
people, everybody at the convention was
bound to be thankful. This fact was
talked of freely by very many. The hos
pitality of the city in raising large fund
for the payment of the hotel fare of the
large body of men who were at the meet
ing, was given general praise. Among
the leaders in this kind treatment, we de-
sire to mention particularly the names of
Mr.. A. L. Voorhis, and Mr.. E. l.. S.
the editor of the Russell
Journal.
The western delegations came home in
b evening. The convention at Russell
llso finished its work late in the afternoon. |

Candidate for Postmaster.

The alleged editor of the thing in the
basement is reported to have in circula-
ton petition to have himself appointed
postmaster at Wa-Keeney. In this local
ity he stands less show of getting any in
huential support than a crippled wart
would stand of swimming ten miles to
save its life. But it is claimed that some
fellows abroad are working for him.
Therefore, meeting has been called at
Opera Hall at o'clock this Saturday
evening, to express the indignation of our
people at the proposed appointment of
such thing to such a position.
