Possponcment Of the Tax Penalty.

Postnoncment Of the Tax Penalty.
1t is proposed, in consequence Of the hard times,
TO ask the Legislature to postpone the 10 per cent
penalty on unpaid taxes until April or May.
While the times are unIuestionably very hard, yet
the same complaint and the same request of the
Lepislature has been made almost every Winter
sipce Kansas has been State and has never been
succsssful compliance with the request once,
IL was argued would result in no taxes being paid
by the 10th of January, the following year, with
tn, xxpcctation that the time would be extended
again.
Those who have the care Of the financial con-
Germs Of the State, look with much disfavOr upon
these attempts to extend the time for tax paying.
Interest on bonds, State, County, municipal, and
other kinds, is constantly falling due; and any
extension Of tax paying, would be damaging to
the public credit. In fact, it is contended that
snch an act would be unconstitutional The
Constitution provides that taxes shall annually
be levied for certain purposes, which taxes shall
in no case be diminished postponed. An ex-
tension of the time for the 10 per cent. penalty,
it is argued, would he virtually a postponmcnt of
the taxes.
Another argument used is, that large propor-
tion Of the people have already paid their taxes,
aud postponement now would he an unfair dis
elimination against those who have promptly de-
vissd means to meet the demands of the public
service. And still, again, it is asserted that
large proportion Of those who are dilitory, are
nonresident landowners, who would bc chiefly
benefited by the postponemcnt.
Some of these arguments arc good, and some OF
hut little force; but We think that it is useless
tviook for relief Of this kind from the Legislature.

How THE COUNTY Is FLExCEn--The heaviest
expense to the people of this County, is the sup
mort of paupers We have = County Poor House,
but that 10 very small portion of the expense.
It seems that whenever professional man or
tradesman in the County gets bad case on bis
hands, with no prospect ofpay, he presents bill
for three times the amount to the County Beard,
for assistance rendered to paupers.
A fair illustration has recently come to our no
tice A worthless, rufianly negro in the northern
part of the County, was shot, last Summer, but
unfortunately not killed. He was stout, hearty
brute, able to do the work of three ordinary men.
In October, he was fit for work again, and farm
er solicited him to 20 the country with him, to
help him with his work. But certain men in the
town, who wanted to vote him at the election,
and to have him assist them in bullying the other
negroes into their interest, persuaded him that it
WAS not yet safe for him to 60 to work; and they
advised him to remain, agreeing to board him,
and take good care of him. He remained, and
did their work. They have since presented their
bill to the County for keeping that negro, as q
psuper, and have been paid! We are prepared
to give names, if necessary.
We hereby notify delinquent snlscibers. that
II tncy 10 not pay u TcoSouaoic eiiho,
we will present their accounts to the County
Board and collsct them from the pauper fund!
ABOUT KICKING.-The Solomon City Newspaper
endorses what we said of DR.. C. A. Logan in con-
nection with the Senatorship; but says that, in
stead Sf Logan being elected in place of Pomeroy,
Caldwell should lie kicked ont, and the DIR. chosen
in his place. Will the Nerspaper tell MS ~hy
Caldwell shonld be kicked QUIT He was duly
elected, and is entitled to his seat for more than
four years yet to come. If it is bribery and cor
ruption in the election that the editor of the
Newspaper refers to, he is the man they want just
now at Washington. The corruption business is
just now being investigated, and every man who
knows anything aiout it ID wanted to testify. If
tho editor does not know anything about it, why
10 he % clamorous to have man kicked out upon
the say-ss sf snm~hnay elsei There is q chance
now for all those fellows who have boon bowling
about the Caldwell corruption, to 80 and tell
what they know, or pruve themselves liars. If
they fail to do So their future bowling will be
mere waste Of idle wind.

THE Wing pirates like an antediluvian.
1t claims to have escaped, with the rest OF
terrified Cavalierdom, from terrible ca
lamity by the defeat of Hughes and the
election of the Kemper ticket. This sort
of thing was tolerable enough, while the
campaign was progressing, for gulls flew
very low about that time and could be
easily winged in; but its continuance after
election is intolerable, and must create a
universal nausea among sensible men.
Because politicians can play the fool with
approval during grand political carnival,
there is no reason why they should wear
the cap and bells forever and day after
wards. Motley may be the wear on ALL
Fools Day, but continual dropping Q
folly will wear away the endurance OF
milestone.

HOW TT WORKS.

We have been assured of circumstance
which might have been easily enough pre-
dicted before election, If men had soberly
reflected on what was probable to occur.
and not gone off on q grand NEGRO
scare" after the fashion of last Tuesdays
stampede into the Kemper hole" 1t is
this: Three Northern gentlemen in this
city were intending to invest one hun
dred thousand dollars in the erection of
buildings in this city, and had taken
the preliminary steps to go about their work
at once after election. But the Tuesdays,
farce Of running the Richmond ballot-boxes
has determined them on different course.
The leading business man and chief
capitalist among them, who has already
nut ND several houses in the city, has
decided to pull up stakes and 60 to
Ohio. The prospect Of even a heavier
taxation than now burdens his city
property is threatened, and he no doubt
thinks he has invested all the capital hi
wants to under the present tax-burdenint
regime.
| In view of the hard times before us thi
winter, this large amount Of capital woul'
have fed many a poor family, and give
employment to hundreds who are now idle
with no immediate prospect of remuneri
tive labor before them.

ACCORDING to The Times account, the
fall of gold to 107 day before yesterday,
was not occasioned by any bearish manipu-
lations, but, on the contrary, in the face OF
a strong bull movement. There was no
cause but the dead weight of the article to
account for the fall. The Times says that
''the evidence is every day accommodating
that the time has come when what has
hitherto been the hidden path of specie re-
sumption will be open before us, and we
shall be forced to enter upon it. If at this
jancture the country could perceive that the
secretary of the treasury understood the
tendency of events, and was prepared
to yield to it or to anticipate it, there
would be better feeling than there is
now"

THE Chicago Tribune, like its New
York namesake, takes great deal of
credit to itself for anticipating the result of
the recent elections. 1t talks of the "as-
tonshing Generalization of the Republic
can partyu as if it were occasioned by its
own Cansandra-like predictions, or sprang
from its hostility to the unwise measures
which have lately sgnalized the action of
its party. The "elder Tribune" philoso-
phizes pretty much in the same strain,
although living at the present time
somewhat abstemiously on the Greeley
diet of four years ago. The only differ
ence is that the younger Tribune"
which is just now enjoying excellent
Grange fare, is the more vigorous journal
of the two, and comes nearer to being a
straight White mans paper. Horace"
always did insist that the best single line
he ever wrote in his life was that commence
ing I" obi profanum uulgus," etc.

The New York World is in state of
double-leaded ecstacy. 1t is almost as
much delighted as the boy was who drew
pewter milestone at Wyman's last gift
entertainment. 1t is SO much elated over
its temporary success that it wants to go
right straight out doors and play
marbles" against the universal juvenile
world. 1t claims to have won its bag
full of agates in such an unexampled run
of good luck that nothing short of Bay
of Funday tide can stop it from bagging all
political creation four years from this
time. Well, we have seen very jubilant
boys before. We were once very highly
elated ourselves over drawing q broken
bladed jackniie. But it was many years
ago, and before Marbles ''lttle world''
was spoken into existence.

THE present situation in France seems
to be about this: The supremacy OF the
Right, which favors the prolongation OF
Marshal MacMahon's power for ten years,
hangs on about eight or ten votes. A
plebiscite to decide the form Of government,
is advocated by the Bonapartists and the
Republicans, and violently opposed by the
Monarchical party. The proposition Of the
Right seems to have this small majority IN
its favor, but it only requires slight turn
of the political kaleidoscope to change the
whole face of events.
Later dispatches show that the Depu
ties of the Right carried the motion
of prolongation yesterday, upon
question of urgency, and that Mr.
Buffet was unanimously reelected Presi
dent of the Assembly. A new motion,
is said, will be introduced for plebiscit
on the form of government, which will b
supported by many Republicans.
