the following discourse 10 found 10
the last number Of the SalIua Usi0n.
This paper has Of late secured the
valuable ~ services Of . STAFF con-
tributor. He claims to be Q Rspub.
iican. His principal claim 10 fame
is the length Of his whiskers. The
fines. Of his afiliation with that
crowd IL therefore apparent. He
may have inspired this paragraph
which appeared In the local calamity
organ last week:
Mr. MohIer, Il 10 claimed, 10 csus-
ing u commotion by bis exposition
OF the alliance Legislation by proving
from official figures that the House
bills give larger rates to salaries of
county officers and railroad rates
than the Republican senate bills.
Mr.. Mohier by his ability at Jug.
giing figures may prove this TO the
satisfaction OF some, but here sre
facts that he cannot Jungle. The sp-
propristions Of the previous legis
isiure, all republican but four Oh
joint ballot, was "a. e0o, 600. The APP
preparations of the last legislature,
having on Joint ballot 81 peoples
party, WAS 81 6O0O, 900, . saving To
the state OF Kansas Of one million
dollars. These figures are taken
from the records. Tue appropriA
tion- made by the last legislature,
although one million dollars less
than those of Its precrdessor. in-
ciudrd the expense OF impeachiux .
republican judge, Boikiu. As q
J comparison OF rcnnomy between the
Senate aud House, we submit the
fact that the Senate with 10 mem
bers had lis employees on its pay
roll, while the House, with . mem
h-r-hip oi l25. had only 81, making

certainly must suppo-e their hearers

Before proceeding with the mai.
ter OF expenditures. or q comparison
Of the last two legislatures let US re-
member that the Union does not, be
cause IL cannot drny that the"Msxi

house, raised freight rates In mum
berless instances.
Anoth-r thing the Union failed TO
mention was the fact that near the
close OF the session the house sent
10 the senate fOi q dozen experienced
clerks t. help out on Its work. H.
its zeal TO "econSmizs" IL overdue
IL, and then could not do Its work.
