Governor Question settled.

The question rs to the election Of
Governor was finally settled yesterday, in
the Legislature. by the adoption of the
report Of the Committee on gubcrnatorial
votes declaring HARRIS NJ. PLAISTED
elected Governor.
In the Senate the subject was very ably
discussed, on the motion to substitute
the minority Tor the majority report, Sena-
tor Mortland Of Knox speaking in favor of
the motion, and Senators Berry. Walker.
Bisbee, Dudley and Emery against it. The
debate, though earnest. was conducted
without the least acrimony. and was ex-
ceedingly crcdtable to the Senate for the
good temper and ability in debate display
ed. The vote in the Senate was u
against. TO 3 in favor Of the minority re-
port. This was the test vote. In the
stood I29 against. and in favor of the
substitution.
Thus was settled a question which has
occasioned great deal of discussion. and
one upon which republicans honestly
differed. II has been settled in favor of Mr.
Piaisted, because that seemed to very
large majority OF the Legislature to be the
right thing to do. 1t is an example of
honest intent and dealing in politics. in
striking contrast to the course OF Garcclon
and his Council last winter.
The census of 1890, the last revision of
which Gen. Walker is now engaged upon,
has been taken with greater care and ac-
curacy than any other of its predecessors.
In 1870 only 5000 enumerators were en-
ployed; in 1880 the number was 3l.2G5.

LETTER FROM JAMES q. CLARK.

EDITOR OF CHIEF:-Let me thank YOU for the copy
of the Chief of january eOth mailed to me at White
Cloud, and containing the mention Of your 5Oth
birthday. Your modest announcement of the fact
contains reference those early and terrible ays
In the history Of Kansas, in which your strong ring
ing editorials pealed ont like trumpet calls across
the borders bidding defiance to the foes of freedom
and Justice; but every intelligent reader Of the rec
ords of your State knows that ..Sol Milers- "gray
hairs are honorable" and were changed from
" raven to silver in q fiery erucibe through
which their owner passed without finehing They
are like silver coin of certain dates-worth far more
than their weight in yellow gold.
You have fought and worked for your success.
The best evidence of your political harvest lies in
the simple fact that the Congressional District Of
which you are the oldest editor, gave the Republi-
can candidate . 900 majority, in the last Presden-
tal election.
Your harvest in journalism is the "Chief among
ten thousand" !" counting papers that have seen in
my travels, for the past quarter of n century, 'and
the one altogether superior to any other journal of
its class in the land Its column of select poetry is
string of gems, and is, alone, worth the price of
subscription for preservation in Mark Twain's
Scrap Book
send you 300 for birthday present, but in re-
turn, desire you to send the Chief to my boy
James. g. Clark, Jr., Minneapolis, Mnn.-as | am
of the opinion that mo family should be without it,
also enclose you a 5Oth birthday poem, written
for my own 5oth birthday, (which occurred on the
18th of last june and published in the New York
Tribune Hoping that it may apply equally well to
your anniversary, add it my closing benedicton
to the editor of the Chief Always your friend,

Ought to Have Something.

We have thought, for long time, that the
Second Congressional District of this State ought
TO have some favors in order TO aid and encour-
age its Republicans to their utmost efforts to
prevent the District from falling into the hands
Of the Democracy. Fort last five or six years,
that District has come up begging for the Office
of Governor, as auxiliary in saving the Dis
triet. For the last two terms, they have got the
Governor. They also have the United States
Marshal, the United States District Attorney,
and the United States Collector of Internal Rev.
enue, which, we believe, comprise all the Feder-
al offices for the entire State, except the United
States District Judge, which is a life Office, or
they would have had that changed ere this, TO
aid them in carrying the District. During the
late campaign, the State Central Committee ran
the canvass very economically. They got through
with the small sum of only 5000 for the great
State of Kansas, which sum includes the neees-
sary Office fixtures, rent, clerk hire, postage,
freight, expressage, and other necessary expend-
itures; and yet not less than 1900 of this sum
was expended in the Second District, TO keep it
out of the hands of the Democrats and Green
hackers. And now, after the election is over,
and the District saved, here comes a man and
takes in the Office of State Printer, as a reward
for his hercuean and valuable efforts to save the
Second District.
The fact is, something must be done for that
District to save il. The Republican Congress
man had only bare majority of little more
than 2 900 over the combined opposition. In
any Eastern State, District with 2 900 majority
over the united opposition would be considered
such an immense thing, that the Republicans

literary matter and the most beautiful engrayings

London Times said: ut is u really magnificent tri-

The English publisher of Seribner has telegraphed
for IL 900 copies of the present number-an advance
of 5000 upon his orders last year, and the largest
edition of an American Magazine ever sent to Eng
landin fact it is said be larger than the sales of
any English magazine. The American edition of
Seribner has grown, during 1880 about 10000 copies.
A delightful feature Of the magazine this year is

instead Of n serial story. "a Fair Barbarian" the
story of piquant American girl in England, by Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett begins in this February
number with twenty-five page instalment, and
will run through three issues. Since the death of
George Eliot it may be said that Mrs. Burnett
mands larger Englishspeaking audience than any
other woman. Her novelette, will he followed by

DowN TO THE BOTToM.-Peter B. Lee, tramp
printer, has got down to the lowest level. He
started out as eccentric tramp, beating his way
by small assessments upon printers, and keeping
his hide full of whiskey. For a time he was a
novelty, and printers rather liked for him occa-
slonally to put in an appearance. But he was
getting to be bore, and now he has come down
to the inevitable. The other day he was put in
jail, at Versailles, Mo-, for stealing an overcoat
He got down to such petty thefts, some time ago.
On one of his last tramps through Northern Kan
sas, he stole an overcoat from a printer at Sene-
ca. He has worn out his welcome among print
ers, and has found the inside of jail He yet
has a good constitution and might reform, and
make decent man of himself But we are
afraid the disposition to do so is gone, and it is
easy to predict his future course

AProRTIoSMEST. "A Topeka correspondent
complains because the Speaker, in appointing
the committees, selected the bulk of all the
AppOrtionment Committees from the Third Con-
gressiOnal District. 1t may show partiality, but
in the end it amounts to but little. The COM
mittees have an advantage in framing or report
ing bill, but soon rs it comes before the
House, it is out of their hands, and if it is unsat-
isfaetory, they are powerless. If the Committee
should report bill extending undue favors to the
Third District, or to any particular portion of
the State, the members from the other Districts
could make common cause, and knock the stuff
ing out Of it in short order. Sad havoc is fire.

from Committee; and if any of these Apportion-
ment Committees should undertake an unfair
game, their bill would be so badly jerked that
