An Abundance of Judalici Timber.
Ness City Ne7vs, -.

<stSS NtJ AVce$Sg
The bill recently introduced into the
state legislature creating the twenty-sec-
ond judicial district, comprising the coun-
ties of Ellis, Rush, Ness, Trego, and the
territory lying west to the state line, has
developed wonderful amount of judicial
timber. In fact about every man in the
proposed district who can buy, borrow or
beg copy Of Blackstone-or even dis
carded copy of the statutes-is lin the
hands of his friends" seeking the appoint
ment to the prospective "bench." Our
waste basket is already full of epistles
from would-be judges, and in order to
put a stop to the further burdening Of
the mails with such matter, we would say
that We are likewise casting sidewise
glance at that little $1,000 year, and can
not consistently promise our support to
more than half dozen of the gentlemen
for whose individual benefit the new dis
trict has been created.

The Plainville Rocks county,
Times, after copying our article en-
treating Stockton, Kirwin and Smith
Center to wake up, throws in this
healthy comment:
How now, citizens of Plainville, Twin
Mound, Greenfield, Medicine and Low
ell townships, are you awake? do You
want this road to pass Is miles west of
Plainville and thus leave Stockton your
nearest railroad station? Never! The
thought of it should nerve every voter to
cast his ballot for the bonds. You now
have an opportunity to bring railroad
to your very door. Take the advice of
the WORLD, given to other parties, and
wake to your interest.

TAKE 1T BACK.

The settlers In western Kansas are in q
bad fix. They find it impossible to get
their local papers TO come out and show
the injustice of Commissioner Sparks
rulings, because OF the fact that these pa
pers are dependent on the publication Of
the land Office notices for 8 considerable
part Of their revenue. Should the news
papers take the settlers part, the result
would be that the land Office pap" would
be cut Of Leaven~orth Times, H.
Colonel Anthony, take that back,
won't you?
You certainly have made these as
sertions inadvertently. You ought
to know-we presume you do-that
the patronage of the 'local papers, y
for the present at least, could hard
ly be changed from the papers which
are now receiving it. At each Of
the land Offices at Kirwin, Oberlin
and Wa-Keeney, q Republican reg
lister yet holds forth. He can, in
every case, declare which paper, in
any county, i entitled to all final
proof publications affecting the land,
no matter in what county, which
lies nearer where that paper is pub
l;shed than to the publication place
of some otbsr paper. It i the usual
custom for the contestant in each
case to mama the paper in the coun-
~ where the land .lies--;n which be
prefers that his notice be published.

PLAIN FACTS.

Inc WORLD mas commenced rcSu-
larly that the plain spirit of the
Kansas constitution is that at each
superintendent a surplus of members
of the house, within the one hum
dred and twenty-five allowed by that
instrument, should be created to the
end that any county organized pre-
ceding the next apportionment would
have a representative to start with.
This theory, we have further insist
ed, has been given expression in
every apportionment law which was
passed in this state prior to that Of
1881. In all Of them express pro-
vision was made for the admission
of representatives from such new
counties as should be organized prior
to the next apportionment.
To pit against this com mon theory
that taxation should be accompanied
with representation, there is moth
ing, except that the older settled por-
tons of the state, for the purposes
of controlling legislation on appro-
priation bills for the state house,
insane asylum, state normal schools,
penitentiary, and so on all located
in eastern Kansas-do not want to
lose their prestige, even if by the
moral route Of giving away mem
Der from each of few counties with
two or three representatives for as
many western members. But the
side of right is so plain in this case
that those who are in favor of Gre
ating a surplus Of membership for
new western counties are not con-
fined to this section of the state.
We believe that a long pull, strong
pull, by the western members on
this one question would have devel-
oped them as conquerors. 1t is now
too late.
Here is the opinion of the supreme
court of Kansas in the matter of
surplus members of the house, as
expressed in the case Of the state vs..
John Francis, state treasurer, to pre-
vent his paying the fish commission
er, on the ground that the bill pro-
viding for the appropriation was
passed by ''coyote" members:
The amendment must stand, whatever
else may be overturned by it. But moth
ing else need be overturned by it If the
legislature act wisely and prudently. II
the legislature were to fix one hundred
and twenty-fi or any less number, as
the maximum number of the house of
and they should provide
that out Of this number, the number of
fifteen or twenty should be reserved for
members from subsequently organized
counties casting at least two hundred
and fifty votes, then there could
be no trouble, and every part and portion
Of the constitution and every provision of
law could have full force and operation.
Possibly, however, it would still be better
for the legislature at the time of making
the apportionment to fix the number Of
at some definite number
from fifteen to twenty less than one hun
dred and twenty-five, and to make this
definite number correspond exactly with
the number OF representative districts
created and defined by law; and then at
each session sfterward 80 amend the ap-
law a. to increase the aggre-
gate number Of the house OF representa-
lives and 20 a. to admit mpmbers from
III new counties casting at least two hun
dred and fifty votes.
