II If there was any dolbt of the justice of
Fitz John Porter's sentence, and of his treason,
there can be little doubt of it now. The Rebel
Brigadiers in Congress are his champions in the
fight for his reinstatement, which will include
robbery of the Treasury in the shape of back
pay. Those Rebel Brigadiers are certainly no:
anxious to reward him for LOYALTY.

u The last outrage of the Democratic Con-
gress, is the unseatiug of washbirn, Republican,
who was elected by 5000 majority, and giving
the seat to his Democratic contestant. The only
reason for this is, that it gives the Democrats
majority Of Congressman FROM Minnesota, aud
secures them that State, in case the Presidential
election goes to the House. There is but little
use in elections by the people, when the result
stands in the way of Democratic designs. Grant
crow would taste delicious, compared with such
Democratic dishes

THE Best PAPER.-The best news paper in the
West is the Chicago Tribune. 1t has more new $
and miscellaneous reading, got up in better
shape, than any other paper. This political
year, it will be especially valuable. We can
still furnish the Weekly Tribune for 81 a year
But the way paper is going up, and publishers
raising their subscription prices, we do not
know how long it will coutinue at that price,

n Ii is said that E. G. Ross, of Lawrence,
has bought the Leavenworth Press, and will
turn it into Democratic paper. Ross will be
remembered as an accidental Republican United
States Senator from Kansas, who betrayed his
party, and sold out to Andy johnson. He felt
so mean after it, that he turned Democrat, and
has been trying to stiae his conscience by say
ing meaner things of the party he betrayed than
its lifelong enemies can say.

II John Morton, son of the late Senator Nor
ton, of Indiana, has been rejected as Collector
of Revenue for the San Francisco District. The
people of the District objected to him, and he
was not permanent resident He is man of
small ability, his only recommendation being
that he is q son Of Gov. Morton. Because a man
happens to be a sou of some big gun, it gives him
no better right to Office than any other man.
Office holding is not hereditary in this country
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1880-02-19

PRINTING PAPER.-Tbe price of white printing
paper has gone up to go high a figure, that
even the large city papers are squealing. 1t
takes good deal to affect these wealthy estab-
lshments, but when they do begin to squirm,
it may be regarded as certain that the pressure
is heavy. The city papers are increasing their
subscription price, and those country papers
that undertook to lower their price are putting
it up again. The price Of paper has almost
doubled in four months, and not much prospect
of its coming down soon. The disadvantage of
country paper is that i; is poor, and has to de-
pend upon its weekly receipts to keep it going.
1t has no large reserve in bank to draw upon.
Those who insist that paper like the Chief
should come down to sl.50 year, because large
city papers are cheap, do not know what an in
justice they are doing the home paper. If they
did know, but very few of them would complain
of the price; for the great majority of the peo.
pie want to do what is fair and just.
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1880-02-19

EATING CROw.-Itis said by Grants supporters,
that his opponents in the Republican party will
have to '-eat crow" if he is nominated. Perhaps
that includes us. Tie CROW business doesn't
bother US a particle. We are oppose l 10 Grants
nomination, and won!d regret to Sc. it, and
think it would be bad policy; but if he shoali be
nominated by the Republican Convention, sup-
porting him in preference to The Democratic
candidate will not be enough crow 10 hurt us
badly. Much as We object to Grant, his admin
istra.ion would be controlled by Republican pol.
icy, and that alone would make it preferable to
Democratic Administration. The country eau
not afford to go into Democratic hands, and
eny Republican will be preferable to a Demo-
crat. Much as we may object to the plundering
rings that fourishei under Grant, the expert
ence of years has proven that Democratic plum
der can beat Republican plunder SO far as to
make the latter ashamed of its littleaes,. When
ever the Democratic party gets into power,
great or small, wholesale plumber follows, aad
outrageous fraud is resorted to, to perpetaa.e
their power Witness the South, and Maine,
and the unseating of Republican Congre ssmen.
We are for Blaine, and against Grant; bat if
Grant is nominated, if that's crow, we'll take
crow in ours.
SPREADrSG IT OS.-There are now employed in
the Governors Office five men. three than have
been employed under any former administration
During the last session Of the Legislature appro-
praton was made for the pay of three, namely pri-
vate secretary, executive clerk and acting adjutant
general, and clerk This deemed sufficient cler-
zeal force to run that department, being one moro
than formerly employed; The employmen of the
present force may be highly essential but just how
the two extras get their pay is question, unle it
il taken from the contingent fund. If this be true
then it to the Governor is spreading it on
rather thick. The Secretary of States Office only
employs four men, where it is supposed the greater
number is always needed.-Osage Independent
You must be regular whiskey guzzler, to OBJ
ject to the State paying men to do the Govern
or's work, while he is off delivering temperance
lectures. 1t could well afford to hire another
man still, to serve as Governor during his ab-
seace. The people of Kansas are rich, and their
taxes are light. They afford to pay the
travelling agent of the State Temperance Asso-
citation $1,000 year, and hire twice as many
men as are needed in the Governors office be.
sides. Two men in that Office beside the Gov
ernor, are sufficient to do all the work, if he
would stay at his post and do it. The people
are paying him 5000 or $1,000 year extra, as
q temperance lecturer.
