II Gov. St. John has refused to accede to the
petition, numerously signed, to pardon Maj. E.
p. Bancroft from the penitentiary. Maj. Ban
croft was man of high character, who, in an
evil hour, when pressed financially, committed
violation of the law, thinking be could replace
the funds misplaced before they were called for.
He is not the kind of man for the Governor to
pardon, and is not backed by the right kind of
petition. Now, if some miserable brute who
had murdered his wife and children was about
to be strung up, and good, sized country Sun
day school, headed by the Superintendent and
teachers, were to come around him, singing aud
offering up prayers, and asking for mercy for
the criminal, the Governor would melt at their
feet, and they might dip him up aud use him for
whatever they chose,

r The price of printing paper has advanced
one-half, since the first of October and is still
going up. A bundle of paper that cost s6 then,
costs 3 now. Yet many people think newspa-
pers cost too much. We shall not increase our
price Of subscription account of the rise. We
did not do it during the hi gh prices of the war
But as We assume the loss, when printing goods
30 up, We hope oE subscribers v ill not begrudge
us the benefit, when material is low. 1t may be
as we'll to state the fact, that all goods used by
printers are among the first to 20 up, when pric-
es increase, and are the very last to come down,
when low prices rule.

u The wyandotte Herald expresses its pref
erence for Tilden and Randall for President and
Vice-President. Its reason for prefering Ran
dali is, that he has saved the Government $780,
100000 by his economy. This is complimentary
to the balance of the Democratic Congress, even
ifthe assertion were true-which it is not. That
so-called economy will yet prove to have been
heavy expense. But the strangest thing of all
is, that the Herald seems to have as little use
for q Southern man on the ticket as the Repub-
licans have.

D The st. Joseph Herald says that Capt

GRANT AND BLAINE.-A number of the Kan
sas editors, who responded to Col Anthony's
circular asking for an expression upon the Pres
idential question, named Grant and Blaine as
their favorites for President aud Vice President.
They might as well have said Blaine and Grant;
for it is just as likely that Grant would accept
the tail end of the ticket as that Blaine would
The Vice-Presidency is too Insignificant thing
to waste such a man as Blaine upon, and chuck
him away for four years, to be forgotten. The
Vice-Presidency would be . desirable place for
a great man only if it were certain that the
President would die; but the Republicans do
not want to elect man with prospect of that
contingency.

LAW NEEDED-Kansas very much needs a
law, or, if she has it, needs its strict enforce
ment, to wit: In criminal cases, which are not
ready for trial at the term set, or which are con-
tinued until a subsequent term, for any reason,
the prosecuting witness, or the principal wit
nesses for the State, should be required to give
substantial bail for their appearance at the ap-
pointed time-something stronger than personal
recognizance. 1t has come to be common prac-
tice for persons under criminal charges to buy
off the prosecuting witness, and have them ab-
sent at the critical time, or the witnesses strag-
gle of, taking no interest in the case. This
thing has been a heavy expense to Doniphan
County. Men have been arrested, and kept in
Jail for months, or have postponed their trial, at
a heavy cost to the County; and when the time
for trial finally came, the whole thing had to be
dismissed, and perhaps witnesses and officers
deprived Of their fees, because the prosecuting
witnesses have been got out of the way.
