Doe oil the best and most successful news
papers in the State, is the Courier, publish

Millington Il Sons. The COuisr has cir
cula.ion OF seventeen hundred and ffty-two
copies weekly, which we take for granted is
about as large as the best can boast Of D..

1t was rumored some time ago that Gov.
Anthony intended to move to Chicago as
soon as his term of Office expired. The
Atchison Champion called attention to
this rumor in four line editorial, which
has raised the ire OF our Governor, and he
has responded, in letter to the Common
peaLli, with language that is beneath the
dignity OF his Office; aud all because Col.
Martin, editor of the Champion, had aspIr-
ed for the nomination of Governor
before the Republican convention. The
rest OF the newspapers fraternity of Kan
sas could have said what they pleased of
His Excellenoy, but it don't do for Col.
Martin to mention his name.

ADVANTAGE OF THE DAILY Pa.
PERS.

The New York OSerreT cites the case Of
an intelligent Kentucky Presbyterian min
lister who in his PRAYER on Monday morn
ing reminded the Lord that Thou hast
seen by the morning papers how the Sab
bath was desscraied yesterday" Another
evidence of the value of the daily papers.
The story reminds a friend at our elbow Of
a gentleman who was always referring to
his visit to Europe. Being asked to pray
on one occasion, he began with 80 Lord,
Thou knowest that when We were in Eu-
rope" and 40 forth.

The Treasurer calls attention TO the large
balance of general revenue in hand at the
end of the year, and attributes it mainly tc
the fact that there was no session of the
legislature in 1873. Here is shown one Of
the advantages OF biennial sessions OF the
legislature.
Statements are made in the report at
great length, showing the transactions OF
the Treasurer's Office in respect to each OF
the State funds, and exhibiting their con
dition at the close OF the fiscal year.
The report gives in detail the recei pts OF
the permanent school fund, amounting dur
ing the year fiscal year ending June 30th,
last, to 1851. Gel so.
The following is the statement of the
sources from which derived

The items of S102, S9015 received on
school land sales, and s., 1882 on sales of
Z. S. public lands, are an actual increase of
this fund in those amounts The fund had
an uninvested balance on the 30th Of June
of S30,2l491. This We understand has
since been nearly all invested.
The annual school fund receipts are
given item by item through the whole
period covered by the report. The total
receipts for the year ending June so, were
S3l2,3351S. This with the balance on
hand at the beginning OF the year gave a
total of S4l3,77767. The treasurer gives
the following statement Of the sources from
which this sum was derived:

There are thirty-one tabula;ed statements
in the report, made 30 full and clear that
any one desiring to do SO can become ia
miliar with every detail OF the condition OF
the State finances. Every item of receipts
Of taxes is shown, the condition of the
sinking and interest funds, the insurance
military, penitentiary and asylum funds
etc. The State bonded Indebtedness is,
shown in table which gives the history of
all outstanding State bonds, the total
amour, being sl,isl,9S. But Sof this
amount it is explained that all the bonds
are held BY the State in the permanent
school fund, the sinking fund and the Uni
versity and Normol School funds except the
amount of s46s, $50. which are outstanding |
in the hands of individuals and corpora
tons. As Kansas has ma floating debt, this |
makes good showing of the financial con-
dition of the State As far Is its public debt
Ia concerned
