We are glad to see that a concurrent
resolution has been introduced into ouY
Legislature in reference to the destitu-
ton in the western counties. The
Legislature should have this matter
promptly investigated, and if people
are needing aid take further measures
for their relief by our own State and
people. Our State has not only been
injured, but it has been disgraced by
irresponsible chronic beggars who have
been making false representations and
soliciting aid in Eastern States. 1.-THE
Legislature will take the necessary
steps to ascertain just the amonnt of
aid that lie needed-if any we believe
the people of the olde: settled counties
IN the State will promptly furnish IT..

The Legislature has gone to work in
earnest now, and there seems to be a
disposition not to leave everything
to be done the last few days of the
session, as is too often the case. On
Tuesday the Senate and House met in
joint session and elected T. Dwight
Thatcher State Printer, he having re-
ceived the nomination of the Repub-
lican caucus the night before. 1t viii

range and report on the bills that have
been referred to them, a. in some
instances there are quite q number OH

We presume it would not require the
oldest inhabitant the past week to tell
whether the back bone of winter was
broke yet or not; but on the other hand
some Of the oldest settlers say that last
Thursday morning the mercury was
lower than they had seen it in twenty
three years, it being Is below zero.

There has been no announcement Of
a s'change" in the management of the
editorial page of the Humboldt Inter
State, but an article was published as
an editorial in that paper last week,
making an unoalled for attack on Mr..
Long, of that city, one of our County
Commissioners, that it is evident was
never written by Judge GOodin, the
former editor of that paper. The arti-
Gle is headed tan outrage" and the
outrage complained of is simply that
the Interstate was not given any of
the county printing, for which Mr..
Long is claimed to be solely response
BILE. Such a statement is absurd, as
well as untrue. No one member of the
Board of Commissioners control. the
other two. But even if Mr.. LoL did,
as the article states, prevent the In
ter-Stdte from earning any Of the
county money" we think an init
mate acquaintance with the present
management of that paper would con-
vince his constituents that he acted
wisely in the matter. Mr.. Long has
been member of the Board of County
Commissioners for several years, and
being man of good judgment and
more than average financial ability,
he has made one of the best Commits
sioners the county has ever had. And
if he desires to be reelected to that po-
sition next fall, and thorough knowl-
edge of the duties Of that Office is any
recommendation, and faithful dis
charge of his duties in the past is any
guarantee for the future. the people of
the lst District will do well to keep
him in that position for years to come.

The Governors Message.

The message is a clear and compre-
hensive document, embOdies a highly
satisfactory showing 80 far as the
growth of Kansas IN the past 10 regard
ed, and contains many suggestions
which can he adopted with signal
profit to the future prosperity and de-
velOpment of the State.-Emporia
NeW.s
The Governors message is conceded
by all who have read it to he an emil
nently plain, practical and business
like document. The recommendations
are such as will undoubtedly commend
themselves to the people of Kansas, as
well as the legislators assembled. The
Governor has again sustained the ex-
pectations of his friends and disappoint-
ed his Topeka Cnpitdt.
The reader will peruse with pleasure
the clear and ably written message
of the Governor to the Legislature,
presented in full in this issue of the
Commonwealth. The message, it will
be seen, congratulates the Legislative
body and the people On the peaceful
and prosperous condition of the COM
monwealth the exalted position of
its credit, its growing facilities for
transportation, and its rapidly increas-
ing population, now amounting to
almost a million of happy, prosperous
people.-ComMonsDeaLth.
Gov. st. Johns message to the Kan
sas Legislature ia document remark
able principally for Its plain, unvar-
nished statemenG of facts and figures.
The Journal heartily commends this
exhibition of good Judgment. Theo-
rizing, mOralizing aud plagiarizing
should have no place in such docu-
ments. The legislature is supposed to
be convened for business, and the
communication of the executive should
always be business-like, and conse-
quedtly brief. In this respect the
message Of Gov. St. John pay be ia
ken as a model. 1t is concise, pointed
and plain, and thus it is forcible, able
and sound.-Kansas City Journal
The Times presents its readers this
morning with Governor st. Johns mes
sage, delivered to the legislature yes
terday. 1t 10 concise and pointed-the
most business like state paper any
Kansas Governor has produced in years,
and might well be model for Govern
OTIS everywhere. 1t shows the state in
situations to be prosperous, and Kan
sas to be enjoying a substantial growth
that is pre- eminently gratifying. The
message is 80 short and 50 pointed that
it should be read by all and Governor
st. John deserves to be thanked for the
peecedent he has established, of send
ing out such brief, business-like pap
er.-Le0vensOOrth Times.

A Short scold.

Fellow teachers, we lack interest!
The Educational Association of Allen
County should show more of animation
than it does, but why? Whose fault is
it? know you will think I am harsh
when I say yours, but is it not a fact?
Think Of it: A county meeting for
county teachers and dozen present!
1t seems strange that, In States where
twenty-five instead of twenty, days
constitute q school month and teachers
are paid twenty to thirty dollars, n
meeting Of the county association finds
scores of teachers present, while here
system of "don't care" seems to be
thoroughly established. I cannot but
believe it must be extremely mortify-
ing to an officer to preside over meet
ings of this kind when the hollow
walls send back the echo of his calmest
tones. And again, when such excel
lent papers as the one by Prof. Scott
are prepared for the benefit of teachers
is it not lamentable to think how few
are profited thereby. That teacher is
poorly prepared to make himself useful
outside his own walls who knows not,
or cares not, when teachers meetings
are held.
Let there be radical change in this
respect in Allen county Immediately
and the reward will come.

Picked Pork.-If you have good
cool cellar in which to keep your pork
barrels, there need be no difficulty about
preserving picked pork. But if the eel
lar becomes hot in summer, or the pork
Is set in some out-building where the
temperature will range from 60 to 100
degrees in summer, the brine will GER
tainly turn sour and the pork become
rancid. All that is necessary is an
abundance of good clean salt, and water
added sufficient to cover the pork in the
barrel. Some persons add n little salt
petre. but it is unnecessary for the pres
ervation of the meat. We have published
several recipes for sailing pork and hams
within the past month or two. but to
keep the pork cool is quite important, as
we'll as difficult in hot climates.
