CONGRESS manifests a disposition t.
put an end to the abuse of extending
patents. Those holding patents on many
valuable inventions have made immense
fortunes during the seven years Of mo.
nopOly given them by their patents, with
which they should be satisfied, and the
PEOPLE should he allowed these articles
by paying a profit on the manufacture.
1t was stated before the committee on
patents that articles that could be sold
for twenty dollars-the cost of manufac-
ture being about twelve dollars-are
now sold for fifty and sixty dollars. A
wealth patent monopoly is now working
for the extension of patents which ii
granted will be cause for future inves-
LEGATIONS, the result of which will doubt
less be similar to that of the Pacific Mail
subsidy investigation.

Destitution.

Senator Ingalls, has written letter to
the Secretary Of the Kansas Central Re
lief Committee, in which he dwells at
length on the suffering in Kansas, and
the means which have been resorted to
in order to obtain aid from the East.
The following is an extract from the
letter:
81 regret to say that many disreputa-
bic imp0sters are specializing upon our
Affections in the Middle and Eastern
States, soliciting contributions from the
charitable, which never reach the objects
of this compassion. These professional
mendicants infiict great injury upon our
people. They degrade the State by rep
resenting its condition as worse than it
actually is. Many of them have never
seen its borders, and are entire strangers
to its citizens. Some of them are equip
ped with forged testimonials, through
which they impose upon the benevolent.

A bill has. been introduced providing
for q registration of voters in elections
for the locstion or relocation OF county
seats. This is q much needed provision,
as no other question has caused 80 much
contention and dissatisfaction a. this
county seat question. There is scarcely
a week but in some county of the State
there is in progress county seat war, "
and not unusually elections for locating
or re- locating county seats are the mere
est farces, 80 far as getting an expression

than they have Inhabitants
Much time has been devoted to the
consideration of PROPOSITIONS for relief
to grasshopper sufferers. The question
as to the constitutionality of the measure
seems to give trouble. Some "relief bill"
will probably be adopted.
The Senate has refused to sanction the
adjustment Of capital punishment.
A joint resolution has been passed re-
questing Gov. Osborn to forward to the
Senators and Representatives in Congress
a list of claims allowed by the commits
sion appointed in 1872 with instructions
to take steps to have bill passed autho-
rizing the Withholding of s44,S74SO
from the annuities of the Cherokee In
dams, the amount of said claims, arising
from depredations by this tribe of Indians
in the year 1861.
Joint resolutions were passed instruc-
ting the Attorney General to bring to
trial parties guilty of selling fraudulent
county and school district bonds, and
tp bring suit for interest due on school
district bonds held by the State as per-
manent school fund.
On the End inst. the resolutions sus-
tanning President Grant and General
Sheridan were taken up in the Senate
and passed by vote OF IL to 10; five
Senator's being absent. These resolutions
were passed without discussion, some of
the members making short speeches ex-
planning their votes.
The House has passed bill appropria-
ting $4,000 to the Kansas Central Relief
Committee for the purpose Of paying
freight on the goods received for the des-
titute.
The introduction of bills continues,
but as yet very few Of them have been
passed by both branches Of tie Lesisla-
ture. Up till Thursday there had been
over three hundred bills introduced i'll

FROM recent report of the Kansa.
relief committee we learn that this CON
mittee has received and distributed aiG
to the amount of sllO, 900, at an expens.
of only three hundred and ninety two
dollars. This shows the utter falsity ol
the charges of corruption and dishonesty
on the part of the committee. If man
has any political aspirations he should
avoid having anything to do with this
relief business. Every one seems To de-
eide what they would do in case they
had charge of the relief supplies, and
then attribute just such actions TO our
relief committees. This great cry OF
corruption and of committees appropri-
ating relief supplies TO their personal use.
as Il rule, does not come from men noted
for tfeir sympathy with suffering hui
manity.

WE take the following extract from a
letter to Mr.. G. NJ. Brown. written by A.
]. Mccall, of Bath, N. Y. In speaking
of the persons who are begging for the
destitute in Kansas, Mr.. Mccall says:
"There are chronic beggars everywhere
who are only too glad to find an occasion
to seek aid from the more provident and
thrifty. The country is now swarming
with mendicants mailing from Kansas
seeking aid. There was ore in the
Office the other day who stated that the
Kansas relief committee was made up of
rebels who refused aid to northern men.
And so it goes. Immense sums of money
have been raised, but it is very question
able whether any very large amount
will reach the suffering. think as you
do, that the State will suffer more than
she will make up by the begging ap-
peals."

has been used - . political machine to
advance the interests Of its officers and
their friends. The Society hes published
its list Of premiums and never paid them,
thus bringing disgrace upon the State.
It has done little practical good. The
present off cers have been governed in
their official acts by their personal hates
and prejudices. They. have paid debts
to political friends, while they have re-
fused to pay similar debts due personal
enemies. With these facts staring him
in the face, it would seem that no pru,
dent man would vote for a bill 50 loose
in its provisions, and evidently gotten up
and intended for the benefit Of certain in
politicians.-Leovesworth Times.

Our Constitution would probably be the
better for some additional amendments,

of the cause these men represent is not
advanced by legal enactments. but by

FROM the numerous letters Congress
men are receiving from their constitu
ents requesting them to oppose the ad
ditional revenue tax on tea and coffee
We infer that the mecsure is rather un
popular with the people. If it be true
as is claimed, that tea and coffee are
antidotes, or preyentives Of the use Of
strong drinks, then by all means let u.
have these articles as free from duty ~
possible. The strongest objection how.
ever, to heavy duty on tea and coffee
is thar it is tax not in proportion "
means, as it falls about equally upon the
poor and the rich.

Reckless Legislation.

We understand that proposition is
before our Legislature to vote one hun
dred thousand dollars aid to the desti-
tute in Kansas, and to make the Kansas
State Agricultural Society the agents to
disburse the same. This proposition is
PROFESSIONALLY the basis for the biggest
steal ever attempted in Kansas. The
passage of such q bill would effectually
damn the men who voted for it, and will
do immense injury to the Republican
party. while the officials would make q
handsome thing out If thy placing
the funds where they "would do the most
good"
We remember that only few years
ago the State voted $1,000 for the pur-
pose Of promoting immigration to Kan
sas, and one of the officials above referred
to disbIrsed the fund, without benefit to
the State or profit to any one, unless to
himself

State Agricultural Society. under its
present management. has cost the State

A Word with kaaSas.

Since some Of the Kansas papers ap-
pear to misunderstood the nature vi tile
| request recently sent to the legislature OF
that state by Tie board of trade of this
city relative to the Texas and Pacific
railroad bill, it may not he inappropriate
to publish more definite statement con
corning it taan has heretofore been
deemed necessary.
The Kansas legislature has not been
asked by the board of trade to indUrsc
the proposition AS u whole; that is ID
matter which the board of TRACE, what
ever may he its own feelings, does not
wish to interfere with. What it did ask
of the Kansas legislature was the indorse-
ment of AN amendment to the bill prOyi-
ding for a branch of that road from
Memphis to Springfield, which KANSAS
and Missouri could Use rs a Southern
outlet while the people of the Central
Southern states would find it their only
connection with the trans continental.
line.
We have on the north of us the Union
Pacific line, and still further north the
Northern Pacific, and now it seems prob
able that the bill will pass authorizing Il
Southern Pacific. And while all this is
going on, and all the balance of the cOun-
try is being provided for, what are We
getting? 1t is true We have got the
Kansas Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, one of which has no
Western connections, and the other Of
which might as well not have. These do
not give US share in the trans CONT
mental business, and they do not help us
to an adequate market for our surplus
products. The improvement of the con-
nections of the one with the Union
Pacific, and the extension of the other to
the Pacific ocean would, it is true, give
us our share of trans continental bust
ness, but it would not still help US to a
market. And this is the great end for
which we must strive. and which We
must secure before we hope for return
of prosperity. The Texas Pacific will be
of benefit to US in developing the South
west, and creating more of a market
there for our products. but that benefit
will not be adequate to need. We want
better Southern outlet, and with Men,
phis branch we will secure it, and that
outlet. in addition to the benefits of the
Texas Pacific, will provide for US for all
time.
The question with us is not whether
we will have the Texas and Pacific, but
it is whether we will avail ourselves Of
its prestige to get q road of immensely
greater benefit TO US. Shall we lie still
and let railroads be built all around us
on government aid, and get nothing for
ourselves when we can have equal ad-
vantages by the asking? That certainly
does not seem to be good policy. It is
hoped that the Kansas legislature will
soon indorse this proposed amendment
to the end that, if the bill does pass, that
state and its neighbors may be placed
in q position to participate in the ben
efits.-Kansas City Journal ?f Commerce.
