COUNTY PRINTING.-TLe annual breeze about
County printing is now agtating the Kansas
newspapers. We notice th at a number of them
assert that Attorney General Davis has decided
that the County Commissioners have no control
over the delinquent tax-lists but that the Coun-
ty Treasurer controls this business. If the At
torney General has made such a decision, we
have not seen it. His opinion, given several
years ago, was that the County Boards had no
right to let the work for less than legal rates
that the law specifically fixed the price that the
printer shall recsive for the work, and the Coun-
ty Board has no right to make him take less,
either by bids or otherwise. If he has decided
that County Boards have no control over dein-
quent tax-lists, he has decided squarely against
the express language of the law, which says that
"the Boards of County Com missioners of the
several Counties of this State shall have exclu-
sive control of all exp enditures accruing, either
in the publication of delinquent tax-lsts, Treas
urer's notices, County printing, or any other
County expenditures" This gives County
Boards exclusive control of the work, but does
not empower them to cut down the printers
fees for doing it.

ILLEGAL SCHOOL TAX.-A late Topeka des-
patch conYeys the following information


TIE Judges of the Supreme Court filed with the
clerk to-day the opinion of the Court in the ease of
the State of Kansas upon the relation of the Attorney
General, against the County Clerk of Lyon county,
determining the right to levy the mill tax for the
State annual school tax. The Court holds in the
opinion filed, that section T. of chapter l49, of the
laws of 1879, page go, works by an implication a
repeal of all prior enactments providing for the levy
of the mill for the State annual school fund.
And the Court further holds that said section four is
invalid by Of conflict with section l6, ar
ticle ., of the State Constitution. The opinion was
prepared by Mr.. Justice Brewer Under this opinion
no legal levy of this mill tax has can be made,
and therefore this alleged mill tax for the State
annual school fund cannot be collected in those
counties where it has been entered the tax books
According to this, Kansas people will have
their taxes reduced by the above amount, and
those who have already paid will have it refund
ed. In what way the blunder has been made
We do not understand but presume that our
wise Legislature, sparing some little time from
the hunt for fraud, ende avored to do something
unusually bright, and spoilt the whole thing
repealed the former law, wit hout legally enact
ing new one If the Supreme Court keeps on
deciding, and the learned Attorney General
keeps on delivering opinions, we shall soon find
that we have neither laws nor Constitution.

Tur "GRANr Boon.r-We presume there /.

THE "GRANT BooN."-we presume there is
no Doubt that the Invitations being extended to
Grant all over the country, and the hurrahs got
mp on these occasions, are engineered by the
persons who are pushing Grant for third term,
and for the purpose of engaging the masses in
the "boom," by means Of the excitement attend
ant upon them. Thousands of men are taking
up the Grant cry simply because they think it
is the winning thing and they want to be in
the front rank of poularity. Orr position upon
this question, We believe, is that of thousands,
and tens of thousands, aud hundreds of thou
sands of Republicans, who are making no noise,
but who have their opinions still If Grant is
nominated, We shall heartily support him, and
we believe lie will he elected. But we do not
think that be is the only man whom the Repub-
licans can elect, who can save the country.
We have no fears of the cry Of Dictator, Caesar,
Tyrant, and all that sort of thing; but we do
not think that another term would add any to
Grants honors, but rather that it would be to
his dsady vantage. We believe that Blaine would
create as much enthusiasm, and receive as many
votes, if not more than Grant; and that he
would lie as safe, as firm and as true President
as Grant could be. There are several large and
influential classes of Republicans that will not
support Grant, under any consideration, al
though they are not making themselves heard
during the prevalence of the "boom." This
country got along very well during the two years
and more that Grant was abroad. They circum-
vented the Rebel Brigadiers, and got up the
tidal wave that swept the whole North this fall.
They did all this without the help of Grant, and
they can save the country with some other man
in the White House.
Much is said about the popularity Of Grant at
the South. Neither Grant nor any other Repub-
lcan will carry single Southern State, unless
there is some way devised to have fair elections,
not yet contrived. The popularity of Grant at
the South will amount to about this: the South
ern States will send up solid delegation to the
Republican National Convention for Grant, and
insure his nomination; but when it comes to
voting, they cannot give a single Electoral vote
to the Republican party.
This "boomD is liable to react, if kept at too
high a pressure. When it comes to voting, it
will be found that the fellows who yell them
selves hoarse aud stuff themselves full at the
Grant banquets do not have all the influence,
and in fact will not all support him. At all
events, the American people should allow them
selves room to hope that if Grant should die be-
fore the Presidential election, the country might
possibly be saved after all.

- If horse-stealing cannot be prevented by re.
forming mems principles, it is not fanatcal to pass
laws putting it beyond the power of thieves to do the
wickedness that is in their hearts.-Hd,cdthd hd Dis
patch.
Keep on your own ground, and do not jump our
claim. That's exactly what we have advocated
Punish the thief; and punish the man who gets
drunk, if it is thought to be sufficient offence
But when man steals horse, you do not pro-
pose to punish the rightful owner or raiser Of
the animal. The prohibit tion philosophy would
suppress horse-stealing, by prohibiting the
breeding and selling of horses.

The INGERsOLL CoNvESTIoN.-Col. Bob Inger-
soil should have confined his efforts at dethron-
ing God and demolishing the charches to his lec-
lures. He had gained a certain fame, which
drew him crowded houses, made him money, and
kept him famous. But by undertaking to or
ganize political party on his platform, he has
exhibited woful lack Of shrewdness, and kick
ed over the pail. He has formed nucleus for
shysters and demagoues to gather around, and
has insured the running of the whole machine
into the ground. 1t has said that the bulk Of
his assemblage was composed Of communists, So
cialists spirtualists, free lovers and all the rag
tag and bobtail el ements that seek for liberty
to make beasts and fools of themselves; and
that these elements ran his Convention, and en-
grated their beliefs into the PLATFORM If men
wish to disbelieve the Bible, or in God, it is
their right; but there should be consistency
even in that. For instance, the spiritualstc
portion hoot the miracles and wonders related
in the Bible, as having been performed by living
men and by the Lord, pronouncing them hum
bugs and impossibilities; yet they firmly believe
that the spirits of dead people can cavOrt around,
tipping tables, and performing foolish tricks
without any sense or object, and will get on
their ears if others pronounce this humbug.
We arc afraid that Col Bob has got party or
ganized that will sour on his hands.

II Old Peter Cooper, the Greenback lawgiv-

in the interest of Tilden. If Robinson had been
elected, it would have insured the nomination
of Tilden, the hardest of hard money men, for
President by the Democrats; and Peter Cooper
cast his vote in that direction. Yet Republican
Greenbackers still allow themselves to be duped
by such leaders.
