Some newspaprrs-the Kansas City Times
among them-are fond of saying that the pres
ent House of Representatives is the sOundest the
State has ever had. Ii doing fool things, and
bringing infamy and disgrace upon the State
proves such fact, then yield that the pres
ent House gets away with anything ever seen
anywhere.
The motion of Sam. Wood to cut down the pay
of newspapers for publishing the Constitutional
Amendments, outrage gross that 1t IL
unlike anything other than Sam Wood. The
State prescribes by law what the price shall be
for such advertising, and the advertising was
done under that law /; but because Sam Wood has
not single friend among the newspapers of tho
State-ali down on him because of his inherent
snealling meanness-he. revenges himself upon
them a Legislator, and strange as it may seem,
the House sustained his infamous motion. If
that is craftsmanship, then the present House is
composed of fstatesnen.-70pekd Blade.

SLAP AT FIDDLER BILL."-Johnny Gilmore,
of the Wilson County Citizen, is generally sound,
and he puts about much good sense into the
following article readily he contained in
the same space:
"The annual wrangle over the County print
ing by the local papers, has just been gone
through in many counties, and i'll some instances
has been fierce and senseless. AS usual the pub
Usher who happened TO be left ont has rante,l
and raved like idiOt, and filed up the col
umns of his paper TO let of virtuous Indignation
because the 'other fellow got the printing, when
his patriotic regard for economy and the well
fare of u 'taxburdened people intense
that he offered to do the work for nothing-after
aseertaning that the Commissioners intended
awarding it to some other publisher-for the
purpose Of claiming right to assail the Com
missiouers 'swindlers. Because this class of
growlers fail to obtain the official printing, they
are willing that no one should derive benefit
from it, and then enact the humiiating spec; a.
Gle of lending their influence to ruin the busi-
ness they are engaged in. If they could get the
work at full and reasonable rates, it would be
all right but failing in this, they establish a
precedent calculated TO disgrace legitimate
business, the evil effects of which oft times re-
coil OH their own heads within year, when an
honorable and cOmmon-sense course at the start
would ultimately, rebound to their advantage"

For an officer sworn to do his duty and to act
upon full knowledge and facts, it will strike the
reader that Smallwood, in this affair, did a deal
of suppOsng it was all right, taking it for grant
ed that it was SO, and relying upon the say-so of
some one whom he supposed to be the agent of
somebody else who was probably legal officer.
And he sspposed, too, that Commanche County
was properly organized. He was the officer
so or not. The whole proceeding should have
been on record in his Office. This confession that
he is too careless, incompetent or dishonest to
fill one office properly, is made while no is at
Washington bumming for another Office
