Two or three propositions have
been introduced to dispose of that
historical $1,000 which Pomeroy
gave York, and which is still in the
hands of ex-Lieutenant-GovernoI

AID FOR THE PEOPLE.
This subject is attracting atten-
ton. 1t ought TO, and the quicker
the better, because spring will soon
be upon as.
The house has had under consid-
Grafton a special relief bill for
Franklin county. 1t provides for
the issuance OF twenty thousand
dollars in bonds. running three
years. These bonds to be sold for
not less than ninety cents OH The
dollar, and to draw seven per cent.
Interest. With the proceeds of the
sale of these bonds, The county
commissioners are to purchase corn
and oats. Persons to secure eny of
this grain must make oath that
without such AID it will be impossi-
bic for them to winter their teams
and put in their spring crops, and
no person allowed to draw more
than fifty bushels of corn and fifteen
bushels of oats. One third of the
cash value, together with the inter-
est thereon, of grain thus issued to
be added to the tax of the person
drawing it, for three years, and the
taxes thus collected designated as
the sinking fund for the redemption
of the bonds. The bill was recon-
mitted to the committee, for the
purpose of making some changes,
and it Is thought that other counties
will be authorized TO issue bonds of
the same nature. The measure is
generally thought to be a good one.
Itseems to us this would be a good
measure, we'll guarded. for the State
at large, leaving the counties to ac-
cept or reject by vote of the peo-
pie. Most of our people, we are
glad to know, would rather help
themselves than ask for aid, if the
m cans 10 do so were placed in. their
hands. We hope something of this
kind will be done.

The present legislature seems to
be busy one. a great deal of work
is in progress of grinding" No
bill has been passed through all the
stages except the one appropriating
pay to the members. This always
is popular measure, and on this
occasion did not elicit an opposing
reward or a contrary vote. Even
the heightened, incompatible Demo-
Gratis voted for it without saying
"steal." A man soon gets strapped
in Topeka, and the passage Of this
bill is no new feature in legislation.
George w. Martin was reelected
State Printer last week, Tuesday.
George is a man of the strictest iu-
tegrity and has done TIE State hon.
est service in this capacity for two
years.
NEW COUNTIES.
1t is believed that some of the
new counties are illegally represent
ed. In response to q request of
the House of the Attorney-Gener
for his opinion as to the legality of
the members sitting for the coun-
ties of Wallace, Kingman, Norton,
Pratt, Pawnee, Edwards, Rocks,
Harper, Ford, Ness, Barbour and
Commanche, he submitted the fol-
lowing reply:
To tAe House Of Representatives. Of tie State IF
Kansas:
Amended section 2, article 3, of
the Constitution of the State of
Kansas, which was adopted by the
people at the general election held
Nov. 4 1873, is as follows: "The
number of Representatives and SEN
atOrs shall be regulated by law, but
shall never exceed I25 Representa-
tiyes and 40 Senators. From and
after the adoption of the:amendment
the House of Representatives shall
admit one member from each coun-
~ in which at least $50 legal votes
were cast at the next preceding ell
ection, and such organized counties
IN which less than two hundred
legal votes were cast at the next
proceeding general election shall
be attached to, and constitute a
part of, the representative district
of the county lying next adjacent to
it on the east. Next after the words
"two hundred" in the above Sec
ton, it seems that by an oversight
the words "and fifty" have been, or
whether the said sections should be
read and considered, as though it
contained the before mentioned
words, inserted as above inserted,
is an irrelevant inquiry in the pres
eEt cases. The language OF this
section of the Constitution is clear,
explicit and unambigeous. There
appears to be nothing therein which
requires the construction of that
part of the section applicable to the
present case, fixed a firm and inflex-
ible rule which absolutely refuses
to an organized couGty, wherein
less than $50 votes were cast at the
general election next proceeding the
meeting of the legislature, an extra
member of the House of Represen-
tatives, but which gives il the right
to be represented by, proved that it
shall be attached to and constitute a
part of, the representative district
lying next adjacent to it on the east.
In this dependent condition it will
remain until it has cast at q general
election, at least $50 legal votes. In
brief, my opinion is that the rep
from the counties above
named do not legally hold their
seats as members of your body. ;
Very respectfully,
AT L
