Bad Legislation.

We sometimes think that legislatures
come very near to being nuisances. In
many respects the one which has just
closed its session at Topeka was above
any that has proceeded i: in this State;
but il did some inexcusable and almost
objectionable things; as for instance,
the appropriation of between $4,000
and $4,000 10 purchase Daily papers
for the personal and private use and
distribution of lis members. This was
an outrage upon the people-a robbery
OF the treasury.
Alter committing this bold depreda-
ZION upon the public funds for their
own benefit. sudden 6t of economy
seized the Honorabies ~ and they
must make up enough off of somebody
else TO balance their own accounts:
and as printers had TO pay about doub e
prices tor nearly every thing used ia
conducting their business, they were
selected out as the victims from whom
10 take enough 10 make up the other
page of the ledger. and SO the prices
FOR publishing the Delinquent list were
cat down from 10 cts. and e5 CTS. to 5
and 10 cents-bareiy enough TO cover
actual expenses Thus the printers
ara sw,ndledz TO make up for the rob
berry psrpetraled for the selfish purposes
of the members. A; any rate, if this
was 10, the design-if the two were
not associated thus together in the
minds of the Legislators, the fact
amounts 10 the same, and We app.e-
bend the people will make the applica
ton as seemeth them good All we
wish 10 add now is. that the two put
together make out firs.-class outr age
upon the people first and the printers
subsequently,.
