Gov. OsborR's message, which we
laid before our readers in a supple
ment last week, is plain and COM
presensive exhibit of the condition
of our State. 1t is we'll written, and
is in every way a creditable paper
to the executive and to the State. II
is an admirable Immigration docu-
ment, and should be sent East in
large numbers, We clip the follow
ing notice of it from the st. Louis
lobe-Democrat:
''Not = great many governors can
exhibit the favorable showing for
their States that the governor OF
Kansas in his annual message did
for his. The increase of cultivated
acreage is l,0S0,l3l acres, which is q
wonderful growth. This, however,
sinks into comparative insignifi-
canoe when the value of farm pro-
ducts for 1874 and 1875 is taken.
For the former year, this was &c.,
920,73I; for the latter, S43,97O, 494
an increase of A,059, $50. The IN
crease in wheat grown is not quite
so marked, being only $3G, 328, 02C
bushels, but the corn increase is
very remarkable. In 1874, the corn
product was l5,699,07S bushels; in
1876, it was 80,79S, 769, an increase
of $685. 9l bushels. of course
owing to the grasshoppers and other
misfortunes, the yield in 1874 was
very far below the average product
but the returns of last year were sc
much above the usual yield that the
sturdy grangers Of our neighborine
State need fear no famine"

The latest chapter in the Lappin
case is that on Tuesday, at Topeka,
Mr.. Lappin was arrested on a new
complaint from County Attorney
Ryan, the first count charging him
with obtaining the signature of the
commissioners OF the school fund
to an order on the State treasury, by
means of a forged bond OF school
district No. 10, Jewell county; and
the second count alleging an embez-
element of $3,7SS.74 from the State
treasury. Mr.. Lappin was taken
before Justice johnson. His coun-
sci, John Martin and Geo. S. Brown,
were with him, and Mr.. Ryan and
Acknowledgement Randolph were
present on behalf of the State. Mr..
Ryan said that they would also add
81 more counts based on 81 more
forged school bonds, aud a charge
that Lappin had forged the endorse
ments in the vouchers. They also
had evidence that Lsppin and his
partner, Scra1ford, intended to seek
refuge in South America. He said
that the complaint upon which Mr..
Lappin was arrested in Chicago, and
had given $1,000 bail, had him dis
missed, to make way for these new
charges.
Justice Johnson fixed the bail at
$4,000, which, in addition to the
$4,000 previously given, makes
SIS, 900 bail in all. Lappin, not be-
ing able 10 furnish the $4,000 bail
bond; was taken to and is now con-
fined in the Shawnee county Jail.

The Republican National
Convention

Cincinnati has been selected as
the place for holding the National
Republican Convention. The con-
test, SO far as Philadelphia was con-
cerned, seemed 10 be conducted be-
tween the friends of Morton and
Bristow on the one hand, and those
of Blaine on the other. Blaine wan
ted Philadelphia Morton and Bris-
tow wanted Cincinnati. Curiously
enough the friends of the latter
candidates also regarded the atmos-
phere of Chicago as favorable to
Blaine, and so they were for Gin
c1nnati first, last, and all the time.
1t appears, therefore, that the selec-
ton of the place for holding the
convention is victory for Morton,
assuming that he is stronger than
Bristow. That is the opinion OF
his friends that he is stronger than
Bristow is evident from the bare
fact of the coalition, since the ad-
vantages of the place sought by
both will inevitably inure to the
strongest. Doubtless Mr. Morton
counts much upon the influence OF
the Indiana lobby, which will as
semble in great force at Cincinnati,
owing to the close proximity to
that city of the Senator's strong
hold-Indianapolis. Many politici
ans attribute the nomination of Lin
coin in 1860 to the presence, in and
about the wigwam, of great num-
bers of enthusiastic admirers from
his own State. Since that memo
rable time this view has ripened in.
to tradition to the effect that the
first strategic point of the candi-
date is to secure the place of hol-
ding the convention at which the
greatest number of his friends are
likely to assemble. That there is
something in this cannot be denied
but it is equally. true that the gain
to the candidate is a loss to the lie.

The Lawrence Journal makes the
following compendium of Auditor
Wilder's report.
Auditor Wilder's report is, as one
would expect, minute, pains-taking,
exhaustive (and the rows on rows
of figures in its 40 pages look ex-
haueting). The Treasury had on
the first of December $l23, 745, (S9O-
900 less than at the last report),
having paid out, during the year,
81 ,043,309 The amount of taxes
unpaid in fourteen years is $4I6'-
275, of which $124,2 belong to the
memorable grassherper year-lS74.
In our opinion, however, the next
report will show a worse Delinquent
cy, owing to the very uuwise tax
law of 1874, which must be altered
next year, if it shall not be done
this. That law might properly have
been entitled "An act to retard and
prevent the payment of taxes"
