THE State officials of Kansas, from
the top story to the bottom of the cap
itOl building, had better take a few
more lessons in housekeeping. OF all
the dirty rooms-dustier and more
unkempt than an ordinary country
court house-those of the State capt.
tol of Kansas can take the premium.
If things don't improve with new and
additional quarters, cleanliness" will
have to be one of the qualifications
for the State officer hereafter. When
the quarters of State officer become
more filthy than an editors sanctum,
we have a right to get up and howl.

THE postal note bill which passed

of a dollar, at a trifling expense three

transmitting small sums by mail. as
they have done since the fractional

The present state of officials. with
the exception of Treasurer and Audi
tor, were re-nominated. The "thiri
term spectre" is dreadfully bruised
concern. 1t was but IL shadow in
this campaign and will not even be
that in future campaigns. The third
term precedent is well enough estab-
lished now and cannot even:create ade-
cent fright i'm its advocacy for the IN
ure. We believe that even Grant
would now receive an endorsement
for third term fromKansas. St.John
and Smith, both third termers. have
been re-nominated. but Francis and
Bonebrake respectively did not re-
ceive a nomination for the fourth
term. Hence the third term is the
ultima thule i'm Kansas politics.

Why Was Ne Appointed ?

f. w. Ayers, formerly of Kansas"
but for several years past the correspon-
dent ofthe Kansas City Times, has been
appointed, by Commissioner Loring,
AS n special agent of the Agricultural
Bureas, and ordered to Colorado for
duty. The salary il about 81 500 per
year, and expenses.
Ayers was rebel soldier during the
war. He came to Kansas after the
rebellion. and located in Saline coun-
ty. While In this State, he assumed
to he a Republican, and was an appli-
cant for several official positions. He
then went tn Washington, and turned
up, next, rs o Democratic officer of
the Senate. He was bounced from
that position for maliciously abusing
Republican Senators. In his letters
TO the Times he has persistentsy as
sailed and viciously abused the Re-
publican party and very many Of its
prominent members.
Why Ayers should have such .
place, we cannot imagine. There are
thousands Of faithful and deserving
Republicans in Kansas who wonld be
glad 10 have it-men too, who served
during the whole war in the ranks
Of the Union army, while Ayers was
fighting against the flag. And II. As
alleged, one Of the Congressnen from
this State recommended Ayers, we
think an explanation is In order

The nomination of McCabe, the col

to take well with the Republicans of
this county. We Believe he will run
little, if any, behind his ticket. In
as'nuch rs he is fully competent for
the place, all Republicans are dis
posed to give him their cordial ell
dorsement Ridiculous indeed would
II be for Republicans to give only u cold
support TO one whom our party has
claimed for twenty-five years has the
same political rights rs the white man,
among which are the right TO vote,

A. b. CORNELL, editor Of Of the
Russell HdUkeye. and well-knOwn In
Salina, seems To have got himself
into trouble. He has been arrested
and taken TO Topeka The Common
sceaith speaks Of the matter - follows:
Special Agent Crowell, Of the p. o.
department, and w. H. Dewey, sheF-
III of Russell county, brought In yes
terday from Russell county, ~ prison
ers, A. b. Cornell, q prominent man
Of that county, and at one time a
member of the legislature but ut pree-
ent editing the Hdpkeye, Greenback
paper ut Russell; also &. c. WychOff,
. notary public of Russell county, and
+. 3. &. Foster, p. NJ. at Paradise, in
Russell county. Ii seems that Cornell
figures q great deal ~ q mail cOntrac-
tor He put in bids for route from
SaE Antonio to B0ndefa, Texas, one
from San Antonio TO Helena, Texas,
and one from Bondefa to Rio FRO,
Texas. The proposals were put In in
the name of one Lipscomb. and John
p. Waller and Samuel =. Smith were
his bOndsmen. The affidavits the
bondsmen made were prepared to he
sworn to before Wychoff, ~ notary
public, and the name Of o. d. Hyde Is
down as q witness to the signature.
For some reason, probably because the
bids were too low, LipscOmb, the bid
der, did not take the mails to carry as
per contract, although the contract
was awarded TO him. The pOstOffice
then began To hunt up the
matter to know why the mails had
not been carried. An examination
showed that there were no such per.
sOns as LipscOmb, Walter smith or
Hyde.
We should have stated that Foster.
the postmaster at Paradise, certified
that the bOndsmen were good. Mr..
Wychof. the notary public, confesses
that no one came before him but Cor
ing Of the oath by the bOndsmen, who
were not before him and who were
persons, at the request OF
Cornell. Foster says that he certified
to the security Mt the request of Cor
nell, who stated to him that IL was a
mere matter Of form. WychOf and
Foster are young men and have prOba-
bly, been led into these acts by Cornell.
An examination will be had at 9 n. m.
this morning before Commissioner
IL il understood that Wychoff
and Foster will make confessions and
then throw themselves OH the mercy
Of the court.
Cornell is one of those virtuous char
acters in whose eyes the Republican
party has become too corrupt" for
his being Unidentified with it any long
er. Consequently he slid offinto that
holy organization called the Green
back and Reform party. He seems to
have reformed" with vengeance.
