~ The papers all over the State are snarling
because, as is stated, the Commonwealth received
500 for publishing the official State canvass.
II the Commonwealth did receive that amount, it
was according to law, and the fees fixed by law.
There is a good deal of the Ishnaelite, or the
dog in the manger, some other extinct animal,
ip The Kansas press. After all the trouble they
have had in saving their fees from being ruined,
and all the iirst-class howling they have indulg-
ed in as to their rights, they ready TO cry out
against brother publisher who happens to
strike good job. The result will he. the public
will regard the bill as extortionatc, and another
raid will be made upen printers wages. A big
job costs big pile of money; and we can see no
more sense or justice in crying out against a
paper for receiving 800 for 500 worth of work,
than in kicking because it received 81 for 81
worth of work

One Good Turn Deserves Another

We notice that the St. Joseph Herald comes
out ia favor of T. Dwight Thacher for State
Printer. Looking over Kansas State document
now in our possession, we arc led to the concu-
sion that Web. Wilder is paying Tacher for a
former kindness TO himself. This document is
the Report of the Joint Committee on Insurance,
made TO the Legislature, February 24th, ls75.
ID. w. Wilder, then Auditor of State, in his annu-
al Report, had made serious charges against the
Insurance Department, charging it with COM
plicity in frauds upon the people of the State,
and advising that the Department be abolished.
A joint committee of the two Houses was raised to
investigate the charges. They did investigate
(or pretended TO investigate and made a re-
port ''stting down on" Wilder very hard-ac-
accused him of Misrepresentation, and declared
that his charges had no foundation in truth.
This report was written by an ex-Superintend-
ent of Insurance, one fthe very men accused by
Auditor Wilder, and of course entirely disinter-
ested in branding him falsifer; but the report
NO written by this ex-onicer was taken by T.
Dwight Thacher, member of the Committee
who was sworn TO make a thorough investiga-
tion ard render true and impartial report, and
was by him adopted as his own, and as such sub
mtted TO the Legislature. But the report was
printed by George W. Martin, State Printer.
We presume this makes the oiiense Martins and
relieves Thaeher of all responsibility.

Tne / $50 Assessme"tFrs

One Of the strongest points in favor
of Jadge Houston in his oontest against
Martin for the seat in the Forty-5ev
snth Congress istheplsin, palpable, in.
dispu.abls fact that there were over 4oc
persons Illegally assessed from this city
alone. These 400 persons, Democrats,
had been returned by the collectors, as
delinquent tax payers to the Levy
Court in March, 1879. The Law re-
auired that they should be dropped
from the assessment at that session
Of the court and they were SO dropped
The law further required that they
should mot be rs.assesssd until the ex-
piration Of enc year trOm the time that
they were dropped from the list This
provision OF the law was never carried
out by the assessors and the Levy
Court. When the assessors had pre-
tended to complete their aSseHSm snts
ON the 18th OfJanuary, 1880, and had
posted their lists in each ward, all the
names that had been dropped en- the
March previous were on the assessms It
list again, though only nine and half
months had expired since they were
dropped. These names remained upon
the lists, the Levy Court refusing to
strike them of Though their a!tor
ney had .counselsd them ana
decided that names Illegally assessed
could and should be strickea from the
lists. They wers not stricken of. Thoss
nen iIlegelly assessed voted and they
nearly all voted for Martin, the Demo.
cratic candidate. These AGO names be.
longsd exclusively to WILMINGTON, bat
there were some 800 more in the rural
hundreds Of the same kind Illegally as,
sssssd in the same manner. This would
make 100 illegal votes from illegally
assessed Democrats. This number
alone Is sufficient to wips out the G3O
majority that Martin got with 10 to
spare. This is the strongest spoke in
Judge Houstons whesl. The next
strongest Is the hundreds OF Dsm ocrats
who were not assessed at all but who,
nevertheless, voted on tax recsip.s fur
niShed them by collectors, police officers
and other Democratic henchmen. Some

II Senator Bayard did use such lar
q uage, IL devolves upon him to with
draw it or to furnish proof thatwhat he
says is true.
II Senator Bayard did not use such
language it dsvolves upon him to make
an explicit denial tina. he ever said

II Senator Baysrd admits that he
