The Western Spirit, published at
Paoia, Kan, contains some statistics OF
the growth of that State, which shows
astonishing results. Twenty -four new
counties have been organized since 1870,
containing last year $4,000 people, ac.
cording to the compilation of the State
Board of Agriculture. Sedgwick, Sum-
ner, Cowley, Harvey and Reno Counties,
which five years ago were unrecognized,
and had hardly settler in their limits,
now have an aggregate of $4,000 popula-
ton. In 1869 there were no people in
the Arkansas Valley. Now it has twelve
organized counties and a large popula-
ton. The total population of Kansas in
1860 was 1905; in 1870 it was 364, ,899 I;
and in 1878 it was COS, ,063. At this ratio,
when the national census is taken in 1880,
Kansas will count over 1000, 900 people.

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

The President has transmitted to Con-
gfess the report of the Civil Service Com
mission. +t.''9
The Commissioners give the following
as the effects arising from Civil Service
Rules f+'t@ -
. !. They have on an average, where
examinations apply, given persons Of su-
perlor capacity and character to the ser
vice Of the government, and have tended
to exclude unworthy applicants.
2. They have developed more energy
in the discharge of duty, and more ambi-
ton to acquire information connected
with official functions, on the part of those
in the service. aft..T .a
8. They have diminishen the unrea-
sonable so licitation and pressure which
numerous applicants, and their. friends,
competing for the appointments, have ue-
fore brought to bear upon the depart
meats IN the shape of favoritism aa f.
4. They have, especially where com

to dismiss from the service those who
came In under the civil service exam1na-

sons who had been introduced into the

THE VETO MESSAGE.

The Presidents veto message took
the people by surprise, as it was gen
orally thought he would sign the
bill. The message has developed the
Presidents position in relation to the
finances. He is opposed to the in.
crease of the currency, and to free
banking until specie payment is re-
stored or on the way ,of restoration.
The friends of the bill will not re-
Igret the veto as much as they would
If the amendment of Senotor Scott OF
Pennsylvania in relation to the re-
serves had not been embodied in the
bill. The amendment in relation to
the reserve was liable to Frender the
bill one of contraction rather than OF
expansion, o9oA 1a eanit18or
The President says that "paper
money, Is nothing more than promises
70 pay" In this there are three err
rors. Money never promises. Mon
ey is representation of value-a me-
dunn of exchange. And, there is no
paper money. Again, it is question
abe whether a treasury note or bank
note promises to pay. There is a
time, and the time may be never.
The whole system of promises to
pay eth er at an indefinite or definite
sine, being used as currency, is vic
ious and should be abandoned,
Congress should In accordance
with the requirement of the
constitution, coin money for the use
of the people. And all Treasury notes
and bank notes should be Withdrawn
from circulation. Let them be re-
deemed in gold if good faith requires.
And, as they are Withdrawn, let an
equal or sufficient amount Of money
coined by the United States take
their place. ss eE#4

The MAYORS FRIENDs-We were
informed as we passed along Main
street on Sunday afternoon,
that the Mayors friends had got
into riot at the Nearing House a.
bout IL o'clock the night before, and
that the Sheriff had arrested five OF
them and committed them to Jail.
On inquiry why they were the May
or's friends, the reply was that the
Mayor was in favor Of putting the
license fee at low rate so as to ac-
comodate the more of his friends in
the greaternumberof licenses grant
ed and the greater number of places
where they could obtain Intoxicating
liquors. The Mayors range for re-
tail license was from $45 to $65.

SOMETHING FOR THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY. y

In common with publishers we often re-
-ceivo orders for advertising lotteries, gift
concerts, AND gift sales. We know that
lotteries are prohibited by law. Aud we
know that courts hold that gift concerts
and gift sales, the gifts to be drawn for.
or depending upon chance, are lotteries
But we have not always known that ad
vertising lotteries, gift concerts and gift
sales was prohibited by law. Some years
ago, receiving many orders for adyerts-
ing gift concerts and gift sales, we deems
ed it advisable to get the opinion of. the
District Attorney whether the Insertion
of such advertisements came within the
prohibition Of law. In the opinion of the
District Attorney such advertisements
came clearly within the prohibition ard
publisher by inserting them laid him
6 lfsubject to the penalty of the law.
And further, If II intended to keep my
self on the safe side, it would be best to
exclude all such advertisements Beliey-
ing such to be the correct exposition of
the law and the course of safety, we have
from that time since excluded al! such
advertisements.
While we have been steadily and per-
sistently excluding such advertisements
the Ken0sba Union admits them. See
"GRAND GIFT En- rERPRIsE! at Belle City
Hall, Racine Wis.," in the last issue of
that paper. Now, as the publisher Of the
UnGon is County Judge of Kenosha Coun-
~, whose duty it IS to administer law
rather than incur its penalty, the question
arises whether the District Attorney was
not mistaken as to the exposition of the
law and the course Of safety which he
gave. for our guidance. Surely the Dis
trlct Attorney must have been mistaken,
or there must be something in the office
of County Judge or some other official
position which renders the law inapplica-
BILE to the publisher of the U:aion and ex-
empts him from its penalties. And we
should like to know, ara think the pub
l'c would like to know, which it is. If
the District Attorney was mistaken that
is the end of it. 1t he was right, then it
would be very desirable to know what
particular office or function of
office il IS that renders the law
inapplicable to the publisher of the
Union. Is it the office of County Judge
in the administration of Justice in the or
dinary duties of that office? Or is it the
office Of County Judge in the a6ministrs-
ton of estates IA Probate? Or IS 1t some
ether Office and the administration Of its
duties and functions?
Knowing the erudition and legal abili-
~ of the District Attorney we have felt
the less reluctance to present the subject
for his consideration. And knowing the
ease and facility with which he can en-
Tighten the public, ourself among the
number, we shall expect the subject to
be made clear to the comprehension Of all
