THE devious paths and ways pur-
sued by the sly old premier of the
English government are past finding
out. Now that the claims to
Behring sea by this country and
England are satisfactory arranged
for arbitration, Lord Salisbury re-
fuses to cooperate with this country
in keeping the sea closed and the
seals protected until the matter has
been settled. As 1t will require sew
ersl years to settle the matter the
seals would be all killed off IL they
were not protected, and by the time
the results Of the arbitration board
are made known there will be moth
ing left to arbitrate. Secretary Blaine
has informed the English govern
ment that this government intends
to police the sea witha strong
fleet, and in case poschers are
found the vessels will be forfeit
ed, notwithstanding the protests Of
the governments to which the
poachers claim allegiance. 1t will
be done, too, aud it is not improb-
able that this seal question In
Behring sea will play no small part
In the approaching presidential elec.
ton.

SENATOR HILL refuses pay for the
ten months he did not serve In the
United States Senate. IL this
amount goes into the conscience
fund" 1t will not necessarily indicate
that the modern Tweed is possessed
of conscience. Mr.. Hill is evident
ly laboring under the hsllucinst
that this little act OF bumcombe, on
his part, will cover up some Of his
dishonest doings in the state of New
York. A man who does not hesitate
to steal q whole county's election re-
turns is entitled to little credit for
refusing few dollars salary as an
officer.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Ii Is with pleasure that the Jour-
NAL this week announces the candi-
dacy of T. +. Carver, of this city, for
the ONCE of Attorney General. He
has been considered for some time
past as a possible candidate, and as
such has received the endorsement
of many OF the best men in Kansas,
and such earnest support has been
rendered him from all parts Of the
State that he has been induced to en-
ter the field.
Mr.. Carver is a lawyer of recog-
nized ability, and with him as Attor-
ney General Of this State the duties
Of that Office would be intelligently
discharged. 1t is men like Mr.. Gar
yer that should be put forward for
every office on the State ticket. and
then when a fight is made, and VIC
tory won, We have accomplished
something. With a ticket made up
from top to bottom, with men Of
ability, character and standing, the
people Of Kansas will not again go
wrong.
Mr.. Carver was born and raised in
Franklin county, Pa, living on the
farm until he entered school. He
graduated from Pennsylvania Col
lege at Gettysburg, in 1867, and from
the Albany Law School in 1869. He
came to Kansas in 1871. and has since
March 1872, been resident Of Sail
na, and one of our most respected
citizens. His law practice has stead
lily grown as diligent years have
multiplied. until at this time Il was
aguestiou with his friends whether
he scould afford To leave il for this
office. The esteem i'm which he is
held by the members of his chosen
profession throughout the State was
demonstrated last January when he
was unanimously chosen President
OF the State Bar Association, to sue
coed Justice ID. NJ. Valentine.
Mr.. Carver is just in the prime Of
life-46 years of age-snd his most
fruitful years are yet before him,
and we cannot see how the State
convention can refuse to accept such
men, when they offer their services.

The delegation that went from Sa-
linz to Lesvenworth to secure the
Democratic state convention for this
city Was successful, and the date has
been fixed for Wednesday April 20.
At this convention six delegates 81
large will be chosen to represent
Kansas In the National Democratic
convention, which meets in Chi
cago, June u. A large amount OF
other business will be transacted
at this gathering Of the faithful.
which will bring together all the
most prominent Democrats Of the
state.
This Ii no time to allow preferences
and prejudices to rule our feelings.
We should throw open our hearts and
arms and our pocket-books. and turn
loose our brass bands and p@ns Of
welcome. No man must be permit
ted to leave Salina with an excuse
for saying aught against our hospi-
tality, our federation or our ability
to take care Of the largest state
gatherings.
To do this will require three
things. First, money; second, q
little more money: third, q little
more money still. When the COM
mittee comes around to you don't be
afraid Of subscribing literally. 1t
will be as bread cast upon the waters,
returning after many days. The
Democrats Of Salina have q heavy
responsibility In this matter. 1t IL
our duty to help them to bear that
burden. They number some OF the
most public spirited, enterprising
and industrious OF our population.
Men who ever stand up for our city's
welfare, and who never hesitate to
testify Of their faith in our city by
giving OF their means Us substantial
proof offering Of their loyalty and
faith.
1t Is not alone a matter of the De-
mocrats, but the whole city, as we'll.
There Is no doubt but wha. the re-
cePtion will be q satisfactory one.
but let US make that reception
hearty and honest. their entertain
ment royal, and their impression Of
our attainments, prospects and pos
sibilities grand. Let every man,
woman and child do his duty.
Every Democratic committeeman
OF the Fifth district acted in har-
mony in securing the convention,
backed by the counties OF Leaven-
worth and Atchison, and most of the
committee from the sixth district.
This assured the thing,-clinched 1t
as IL were. Wichita was there with
a large offering to the god Bacchus,
but 1t wouldn't go, because Neptune
had too strong q pull.

ABUSING SENATOR INGALLS,.

The speech Of Senator Ingslls at
the recent state meeting Of the Re-
publican league seems to have
awakened the echoes all around.
Even some OF the parasite echoes
and those who lay upon their own
shoulders the task Of shaping politi-
cal sentiment In this state have
vibrated to such an extent since the
senator sat down as to indicate .
feeling of fear that the people Of the
state are going to do little thinking
for themselves. The great frog echo,
the Topeka Capital, the self-appoint-
ed mouthpiece, divinity and law
giver of the Republican party Of the
state, has undertaken the task,
probably at the instigation and un-
der the auspices OF some Of the
parasites, Of turning down Mr..
Ingalls,. 1t seems to have been hit
in q tender spot by the senator, for 1t
set up q most incontinent howl the
very next morning, and 1t shows no
signs of choking off at this hour.
An individual named w. e. Lans-
don, or something similar, whose
residence and claims to considers
ton are unknown outside Of the
precinct in which he votes (also IN
KNOWN lie so aggrieved at the speech
that he pours out his soul In over q
column Of solid BREWER, In the Capt.
tai one day last week. Mr.. Lans-
don, or whatever his name Is, admits
that he has reached the ripe old age Of
IS, and il therefore competent to pass
judgment upon the lives Of men who
have lived 50 or 90 years. His stock
In trade consists Of the same amuni-
ton as that used by the Capital, and
its half dozen satellites, viz: Mere
personal abuse.
III these fellows for q moment
think they can destroy the influence
OF Senator Ingalls,, or poison his
friends against him, or injure him
in anyway by the course they are at
present pursuing, they are only fit
subjects for the insanity commission,
and the officers ought in mercy to
them dispose OF their cases at once.
Mr.. Ingalls, has committed some
grave errors in his time, and SO have
his critics,-these men who pre-
sume to be the censors Of the Repub-
lican party in this STATE. 1t is more
than probable that their errors and
sins, happily hidden in their obscur-
ity, are greater than those Of the man
they attempt to malign.
There is one thing that can be said
Of Mr.. Ingalls,, and it can be said of
no man among his enemies in this
state. He represented Kansas, and
his state was honored and respected
whenever he stood up to speak, no
matter where 1t was. Take the
whole band OF his enemies and
would-be detractors, add together all
their goodness, sll their honor, all
the homage Of respect ever paid
them, and the aggregate sum would
be SO far beneath the name Of In
gals Ms to be literally out Of sight.
These fellows claim they are In
for harmony. So be 1t. Mr.. Ingalls,
and his friends will assist In every
possible way to promote harmony but
there are lengths to which they will
not go, for instance, the sacrifice Of
self-respect or endure the dirty,
mud-slinging actions Of mere hand
full Of base marplots, in order to &C.
complish that result.
