LETTER FROM SALINA. Topics of Interest in the Big Town of Western Kansas. Salina, March 9.-The independent tone of the JOURNAL is appreciated by its readers in this news center. We will endeavor to give a small budget of this week's happenings and gossip. An economic club, so-called, has been organized for the purpose of giving popular instructions upon the subject of free and unlimited coinage of silver, and the relations of railroads to the public. The first meeting of the club for special instruction is to be held on the evening of the 17th inst. On that occasion the Hon. A. P. Collins will lecture one hour upon silver. The number of silver tongued orators has increased most prodigiously within the last few years, and in this section Mr. Collins is regarded as standing well up in the front rank. We are always thankful here for small favors of a political nature and large ones in proportion, and therefore grateful to the present executive for reappointing Dr. J. W. Jenney a member of the state board of health. The doctor has displayed good political sagacity, as he was first appointed as a Republican, but is now a good Populist. The change in political feeling and complexion continues the honor to Salina of having a representative upon 8 very important state board. Editor Bristow of the Daily Republican is not to be found at present in his sanctum. He is out looking up his chances for the Republican nomination as congressman for the Fifth distsict. Ex-consul to St. Johns, M. D. Sampson now smiles pleasantly as editor in charge. Mr. Sampson for many years successfully conducted the Journal here which is now merged into the Republican and published as the Weekly Republican Journal. Mr. Bristow is displaying much energy as a rustler for the nomination. He belongs to the "young crowd." The Brookville State bank of this county is now in the hands of a receiver appointed by Judge Pattee of the Probate court. We are patiently awaiting three things here to revive business. Rain, sale of last two year's wheat crop and a liberal issue of money by the government at Washington. There is but little interest tal in the tariff question as money is generally regarded the leading and absorbing issue before the people, A socio-religious problem is now causing a little agitation. We do not know exactly what to do with our church members who seem to be infatuated with the game of whist. Is it irreligious to play "progressive whist?" This is the question.
