The present Legislature has been
one Of the most expensive Of any SEES
sion since the state was organized. We
believe. High handed fraud seems
to be rampant on every hand. Mum
erous and costly employees, hangers
on, etc., ETC., and a lot Of Unnecessary
help has been employed for the sole
purpose Of bleeding the state Of its
wealth. A "public treasury is a pub
lie trust" and not a public crib fol
the support Of every loafer in the
country. The standard Of the legis'
laturs should be raised, and designing
politicians and tools should be rele'
gated to the rear ranks, and a reward
put upon honesty and fidelity.

SAM JONES is not beauty, but he is
joy forever, just the same. Barnum
never had buffoOn in the days when
buffoons and clowns were in vogue,
who could hold a candle to Sam when
it came to entertaining an audience and
making the peoples sides and insides
ache with laughter. While he is an
amusing, he is also a versatile cuss.
His lingo is an odd mixture that defies
the commonest rules of grammar and
the most ordinary canons of good taste.
His discourse is captivating tumble
of pathos, humor, sarcasm, irony, and
often coarse, gross scurrility, all
couched in barbarous language. He
delights in abusing people, lawyers, ed
itors, young men and women, old men,
and old women, preachers, his audi
ence, and in fact everybody. AT the
close of a series of sermon, so-called, in
Los Angeles, California, some time
ago, he made a savage attack on the
newspaper men of the town, calling
one "a boiled-eyed drunkard," and an
other "a living example of total de-
pravity." A third unfortunate was
pleasantly referred to as a ''moral
leper.'' Such scurrility from anyone
else would be fatal to his popularity
and to his health also, but it is Sam g
stock in trade, and a most profitable
stock it is too.

IT is said by men who watched the
late session of the legislature through
its entire scandalous and venal course
that the members were completely in
the power of the corporations, blinded
and dazed by Doodle. There were a
few honorable exceptions, but not
many. The railroads boldly mounted
sentinels in the galleries to see that
their cattle on the floor did not go
astray. and placed diplomats in the lob
by to instruct their leaders how to act;
what bills to kill; what to amend, and
what to pass. The insurance ring was
equally conspicuous. The lobby en-
ployed by the Kansas City packers
went at the business of killing the
dressed beef bill as cowboys would herd
steers, cracking the whip, applying the
lash, and feeding literally from the
crib.-Atchison Globe.
