thot tho senate committee on patents all
through tho forty-oighth congress hayo
done great injustice to patent bills that
have received the approval Of the patent

chairman or that committees to so report
approved bills up to this late day, whom
nothing further can bo done, will work
very great hardship in q number Of in.

THE BEST IN THE STATE.

In noting the splendid showing
made for Sedgwick county in the an
nual report of the state auditor, which
report shows Sedgwick county to bs
the soundest financially of any other
county in the state in a very marked
degree, we gave the entire indebted
ness of the county together with its
total valuation of property. 1t has
been suggested by the board of coun-
ty commissioners, now in session, that
while the EAGLES articls makes a
splendid showing yet it might m.slead
the average reader. We stated the
entire assessed valuation of the county
to be 81, 137, 77792 and that the total
Indebtedness was $95,410 These last
figures cover not only the county's
Indebtedness as a county but the in
debtedness as to townships, school
districts and other corporate munich
palities, SO far as have been reported
10 the auditor. Of this $43,975.OO Is
school district Indebtedness.
But we reiterate that in taking the
total valuation returned by the asses
sors and the total Indebtedness as
shown by bonds outstanding that no
other county in the state, old or new,
can, within hundreds of thousands of
iellars show so favorable a condition
either as to prosperity or for the in
lividual taxpayer, an actual indebted
ness of but little over one aud one
quarter per cent on the dollar of prop
,rty assessed, or about four and one
lalf mills on the actual valuation, for
I is but fair to ssate that a full valua-
len would be abo ut go, O00. 900.

GOVERNOR MARTINS MESSAGE

The first annual message of Governor
Martin, which We lay before the readers of
the EAGLE this morning in its entirety, is
just such document as we would have ex-
pected from man who had been daily
studying Kansas and its affairs ever since it
was state. In q practical, common sense
way he talks about every vital interest of
the state, pointing out wherein any enact
ment heretofore passed upon has failed to
meet the expectations of the people, con-
demning the failures and commencing the
successes. No startling innovations are rec
commended, nor any straining to make that
appear which really has no existence. 1t is
document that calls for no explanation, as
it is its own interpreter throughout We
had hoped to see a recommendation for
either constitutional convention or re-
submission of the prohibitory amendment
as the quickest and most satisfactory way Of
settling mooted question, but he leaves all
that with the legisture. As to his views on
assessments and taxation, railway legislation
and the enforcement of all laws found on
the statute books, the governor is eminently
sound.
Every man in Kansas should not only
read the message carefully, but the legisla-
ture should not fail TO act upon its wise sug.
! ,astinpe

THE TRUTH.

When the EAGLE intimated Just after the
close of the campaign, that st. John had
sold out, it had little idea of all that was to
follow. The source of the most interesting
part of the information confided to us has
never yet materialized in print. and it was
more directly to the point than anything
yet given. Our suggestions were based up
on words employed by ST. John himself
confidently, to friend in distant city sew
eral weeks before the close of the campaign.
He did not. at that time, admit that any
money had passed, but referred to negotia-
tons pending. If the matter ever gets into
the courts we are satisfied that the par.icu-
lar conversation and the admission then
made by st. John will be brought out. We
are not only ready TO be summoned as q
witness but ready to be compelled to give
names and dates and location.
