he emperor's approaching visit 70 Blu
dapesr. where he will confer with other
Hungarian leaders. viii do much ID
help find the solution.
Herr Kossuth declared that he came
hope of convincing the emperor that no
party exists in Hungary. desiring TO
separate the interests of Hungary from
those of the House of HapsbuTg; that
the independence party is most loyal,
and that Hungary Will become the
strongest prop Of the dynasty If ii
were permitted 10 have free and un-
trammeled development. He says fur
Their that when the independence par
tvs programme is realized all differ
enceS between Austria and Hungary
will disappear The development and
strengthening of Hungary as a nation
would. he said, increase the security Of
the kings throne and in future the fate
of Hungary and the House of Hapsburg
would be closely interviewer through
mutual understanding.
= Herr X osSuth's interview with En-
perOr Francis Joseph is regarded in
Austria and Hungary as an historical
event. because it is believed it will ac-
tually lead to closer relations between
the House of Hapsburg and those Hun
gaTians who have been opposed TO the
existing double form Of government.
The prospects of the successful de
velopnent of the independence party's
programme are now brighter than they
have been for thirty years past, and
it is hoped that the near future nay
see the establishment Of a system OF
international life between Austria and
Hungary which ultimately viii lead 20
relations similar 10 those exciting be-
tw cen Norway and Sweden. In sub
stance. the Independence party's pro-
gTamme is the complete Independence
of Hungary from Austria as a nation
but Hungary's continuance under The
personal sovereignty under the head of
the house of Hapsburg and mutual
protective unity between the Two ma
tiOns.
Herr Kossuth declares that this pol
icy is in no sense anti-dynastical, and
refers 10 the fact that it was first
enumerated by Emperor Charles in 1f23.
Made a Good Impression.
The Hungarian parliament which was
elected on Jan. % should hold its open
ing session on Feb. Il, but in the
event that no cabinet shall have been
appointed by that time the session nee
essarily viii be postponed Herr Kos
suth's explanations have made good
impression in Vienna, and particularly

were entertained regarding supposed
revolutionary tendencies of the indie

RESULT.

IEIENNA, Feb. 12-Francis kos
suth. the leader of the in
dependence party in the Hun
garian parliament was received
ey the emperOr-king and dis
cussed with his majesty the political
situation and cabinet crisis in Hun
gary arising from the coalition of the
various minor parties in Hungary with
the independence party and the sweep
ing victory at the polls in Hungary on
Jan %. which has resulted IN the unit
ed opposition parties being placed in
control Of the lower house of the Hun
garian parliament. Herr Kossuth has
declared that it is impossible now to
govern Hungary without the united Op-
position party. Herr Kossuth was with
his majesty nearly an hour and was
treated with great distinction. He eX-
pressed his views and his party's views
The emperor listened attentively but
did not make any reply affecting the
situation. If KOssuth stands fast for
his majesty's programme his position
is a strong one and it is believed that
he will do so

Refinery Bill Passes

The state oil refinery bill passed
the senate committee of the whole
Wednesday afternoon practically
without opposition. 1t was planned
to declare an emergency and put it
on its final passage at once, but
cog slipped somewhere, and the SEN
ate tired and, doubtless aggravated
by a debate which had lasted all day
refused to call it up under the emer-
gency clause by vote of az to Is.
Opposition to the refinery bill melt
ed away like an Apiil snow when it
came up for discussion in the COM
mittee of the whole. At least three
Senators who had been opposed to
the measure changed front between
Monday evening and Tuesday morn
ing. Those who had been on the
fence got down on the refinery side.
And the measure had such a clean
working majority when it was reach
ed at 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
that there was no direct opposition
to its main provisions. 1t looked
once as though it would go through
without an attempt to amend it, but
Smith of Franklin cut into the first
section with proposition to locate
the refinery on the Standard pipeline
and not more than IS miles from
Kansas City and started discussion
which never stopped. But the bill
finally passed about as it stood.
This made the complete list of oil
and gas measures recommended for
passage yesterday by the senate COM
mittee of the whole as follows:
Senator Samuel Porter's bill to
regulate the transporting of natural
gas.
Senator Fitzpatrick's bill to estab-
lish maximum rates for the transpor.
tation of oil.
Senator F. Dumont Smiths bill
making pipelines common carrier.

More About fhe County
PPinfinS.

In our issue of0last week we gave
the amounts of our bills against
Meade county for last year, includ-
ing stationery for the various Offices,
tax lists and also the printing of the
ballots amounted to about S744.
Of this amount Sl56 was election
printing, which will not be an ex-
pense this year. This would leave
about S5SS for stationery and legal
printing; the stationery amounted to
about Saoo, leaving about S388 for
legal notices, which includes COM
missioners proceedings, county
superintendent's reports, treasurer's
statements, tax levies, road notices
and delinquent tax lists and final
redemption notices. The delin-
quent tax list amounted to about
S7S and the final redemption notice
amounted to about $50, making SI14
for the tax lists, The law provides
that printers shall have IS cents per
description for land descriptions
and 10 cents per town lot. 1t also
provides that these charges are
charged against the property and
when redeemed the purchaser pays
the printing charge. In these cases
they are nearly always redeemed by
some one; so take the SI14 from
$38S and we have Sz74, the amount
Meade County was actually out in
cash last year for printing legal
notices. Now, these figures are
taken from our books in rounded
numbers. We appeal to all sensible
people of Meade County, and ask
you if you think Meade county was
robbed very much on county print
ing?
The manner in which Messrs
Marshall and Boyer wrote their ar
ticles it would appear that Meade
county was paying $40, 900 per year
for county printing.
We have published these figures
so that the citizens of Meade county
would not be misled, by any of the
articles written by the above named
gentlemen. We do not intend to in
fer that they would purposely try to
.mislead the people, but humanity is
liable 10 be mistaken and these gen.
tlemen are no exceptions to the rule.
We hope that no one will get the
idea that Meade county is getting
robbed when it pays out about Sa75
per year for legal notices. We do
not believe that there is man in
Meade county who thinks it is too
high. Mr.. Boyer would say that we
ought to get it done for half He
would also say we can get county
clerk or county treasurer for half
the present salary. This is no az
gument. You have to have compe-
tent officials and you have to pay
them good wages for it. You can
hire man for SO cents per day, but
the chances are that if you give even
the same man SI.5o per day, he
would do four times as much work
and of much better quality. You
have to pay for competency in all
these affairs and not traffic them
away to the man who will do it the
cheapest.
