HITTING THE NEWSPAPERS.

What Kansas would have been but
for her newspapers is a conundrum.
Probably a Missouri or an Arkansas so
far as fame prOgressiveness or enter
prise are concerned. But every few
weeks an attempt is made by some
demagogue member of the legislature
to depress newspapers and discourage
publishers by endeayOrS to franchise
their business. In Ballinger's fee and
salary bill is a section which reduces
legal rates for printing fully one-half.
There is no excuse offered for the cut,
nor any claim that the present law is
exhorbitant. The principal fees receiv-
ed by printer from the county is for
the delinquent tax list This list is not
paid by the county, but comes out of
the pocket of the individual delinquent
who must pay for the publication of
and his legal notification the sum of p
cents for a quarter section or less of
land, and 10 cents for town lot. The
list is printed five weeks. The amount
paid is small enough for any newspaper
that is of general circulation. OF course
there are little inexpensive patent
sheets without readers found in almost
every county, whose publishers could
afford the necessary space for about
any sum that would pay for the simple
typesetting, but the aim of the law is
for publication in papers of general
circulation, for which kind the present
pay is in no sense too much.

Level OF tho Gulf Rising.

According to the engineers OK the
photographic bureau the level of the
Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher than
It was in 1859, and, of course, the en-
croachment on the surrounding coasts
has been greater or less, depending on
their character. In some places, where
the marginal lands are composed OF
some high rocky bluffs, this change Of
level has gone on from year to year
without attracting attention On the
other hand, many low-lying points
(sone that were once inhabited by the
primitive inhabitants or by the pioneer
while settlers) are entirely submerged.
The cause of this change of level has not
rs yet been ascertained, but it Is reason
ably certain that it is the result Of
either settling of the dry land or Of a
general and uniform rising or uphesval
in the gulf bed On the contrary,
there isn't the least doubt but that
there is much less However this may
be, if this aqueous encroaehment Ia

Among reverses of fortune perhaps
the strangest is that of the duch-
ess SantonDa, who has just died in
Madrid in the greatest poverty. Eight
years ago she possessed fortune Of
four million dollars A number of law
suits were commenced against her By
her relatives, absorbing large part OF
this. Another large amount went in
charity, and the remainder went trying
to place the Bourbon family on the
throne. A story IS told of the duchess
which illustrates her kindness of heart
Hearing that a lady, a member Of a
very old Spanish family. was in great
need, and wished to sell iewelry to the
amount of two hundred thousand dol
lars, Duchess de Santonna sent her
check for that amount. When the jew

she did not want it and was glad to

LIGHTNING LIABLE TO STRIKE

The appointment of George Z. An

ed 4 great disappointment to about
twenty other fellows who We're after
the place, as also a surprise generally
to the politicians of the state. The CUES
ton now arizes, may not the governor
have some other appointments in store
which will prove disappointment. The
barnacles have fellows picked out for
all the places, including bank commits
siOner, coal oil inspector, penitentiary
warden and so on, but might not the
governor fool them. They had the rail
road commissioner down pat yet that
fact may prove misleading as to all the
other positions. If the governor should
strike out with his official lightning he
might smash several other states with
great profit to the party. However SO
many good men would in such an event
be kept laying awake at nights in ex-
pectation of commission that, after all
it might not be best. For instance, for
one, we don't want to lose any more
sleep. OF course lightning is liable to
get away and do some unexpected hit
ting, still as the United States senator
ship and the state partnership and the
railroad commissioners have all been
disposed of there is no necessity of

pating. For one we shall stop lodging

three hundred other deserving fellows
to calm themselves and not be misled
by the Lucien Baker and the George T.

PROPOSED LEGAL RELIEF.

The Kansas legislature is being urged
to enact a law providing that where
real estate is accepted as security by
the creditor, upon loan or what not,
that such real estate upon foreclosure
of the mortgage shall pay the indebted
ness in full For one we can see no
objection to such a law. The realty in
security by the money loaner or other
wise he would not have loaned the
money on it. The loaner of money is
no better nor is he entitled to any more
consideration than the borrower. But
as all laws have a trend in the direction
of the interest Of the wealthy, it is true
in practice that a rich man is better
that poor man. Still he isn't in fact
One of the principal reasons for the de-
mand for bankrupt law come of the
fact that the rich loaner after he has
swiped all that his debtor has proceeds
under the law TO hang a sword over his
defenselesS head in the shape of court
judgment. 1t is these judgments which
discourage the unfortunate and often
finally brushes them. The security pro-
perry, once taken, should satisfy the
debt for which it is taken, and in full,
giving the debtor another chance in the
world. OF course a law now passed
could reach back in an ex-post facto
fashion, but such a law would relieve
thousands of Kansans Immediately
and not work any injuries to the hold
ers of that class of judgments, who
will never get anything in any event,
probably. We even doubt if any par
ticular objection would be urged to the
passage of such an act by the money
loanerS themselves.
