F0LITICAL IXTIGUIXG.
Toi'EKA, Kas., Jan. 15. Hudson has
nursed his wrath and kept it warm over
the slate printer content. The old Hud
sonian howl is heard in the land. The
more they think about it the madder the
old boys get over the defeat of "Wilder,
Stotler and Timelier, and the election (next
Tuesday) of Cliff Baker as state printer.
They see in it a renewal and intensification
of the old fight of the factions. Hudson
charges that the fine Italian hand of Ingalls
is seen in the contest. Too late by many
days, now in agony of soul he
cries out, "excuse us if you
please, we have no glucose for this occa
sion," and proceeds to wade into Iugalls in
pure Iludsonian style. It is a sight lovelv
to look upon. It pleases the angels and
adds nielodv to the sweet music of the
spheres. It pushes John
the front, says one faction,
A. Anderson to
It gives the
wet the next governor.
It is now openly charged and publicly
proclaimed that Senator Iugalls from
Washington directed and controlled the
contest for state printer: that he threw his
whole force iu behalf of the Bakery.
Baker's forces were
Joe "Wilson, Iugalls'
at the cupitol. and
led b
lieutenant
a slicker
politician never breathed the pure air of
Kansas. He has completely outgeneraled
Ben Simpson and relegated him to the rear
as a lobbvist. Wilson has dethroned the
king of the lobby and pushed the pride of
wire-pullers, Ben Simpson, aside.
TIIE MOXAKCII OF KANSAS POLITICS
In the future (if Iugalls is to control) is Joe
Wilsoi. Ben Simpson's occupation is
gone for Iugalls' fine Italian baud must
lose its cunning and cease its work in Kan
sas politics. There is only one way out of
the disaster and turn defeat into victory.
This is to deprive
printing office of its
and stupendous raids
the Mate
monumental
on the
state treasury. Everybody knows that the
public printing costs thousands of dollars
more than it should, that the great mass of
stuff printed is of absolutely no yalue and
no use, that
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
Can just as well be saved as not by a
sensible and jut state printer's act regulat
ing the price to be charged for work arid
restricting and preventing the printing of
useless matter. On this point I beg to call
the attention of members of the legislature
to the governor's message. "What he
savs about the public printing is
the weightiest portion of his message and
it comes from a practical printer and an
old editor. If members of the legislature
will examine the report of the state printer
and get the cost of public printing ami
carefully consider what the governor says
on the subject they will gladly welcome
some scheme to prevent the state from be
ing further bilked to bolster up the decay
ing foituuo of some political protege
That can be accomplished in various wn s;
one would be for the state to do its own
printing and simply have a competent
superintendent at a fair salary, say
.1,000 per year, to superintend the work.
That would be a very reasonable compeii
satiou for the young man who has just
been cho-cn in caucus. If the state did its
own prin'ing it could save in the single
matter of publishing school books hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the farmers and
poor people of this state. The United
States government has its pr nting hoti-e
and does its own priming, with a .-late
printer to superintend the work, appealed
by the president upon a salary of $4,000 per
year, I believe. Why should not the
state adopt a similar system ? The matter
is being talked o-er by good. pactial
business men of the senate ami Itouse ami
it is not improbable that something bene
ficial to the state may come from it.
About $50,000 jkt year is appropriated for
printing. There is a pront oft this of from
$15,000 to $-30,000.
But the state printing need not cost over
one-half what it does. It easts double the
whole amount appropriated to run the
state government.

How does it strike the average granger
that a stale printer should receive as per-1
quNites and profits as much as the entire
salaries of all the state otficers and supreme
judges?
THE CONVENTIONS
For the week are adjourned, but more are
coming next week.The State Historical So
ciety meeting.the meeting of county clerks,
e:c. The Equal Suff age association has
had a ven enthusiastic and largely attended
session. Their meetings were crowded.
They are making a big fight for municipal
suffrage. If hard and persistent work and
petitions and prayers of public meetings
count, this legislature "Wll. be very apt to
grant the request of the fair suffragists.
THE STATE AGRICULTURAL MEETING
Has been well attended. One of the most
interesting papers read was that of Hon.
Mimurn Mohler, on the relative merits of
v ire and hedge fences. His conclusions
are as follows: "The difference iu favor of
the hedge fence is JS5, and is further magni
fied when we consider the cash outlay .thus
making the hedge the poor man's fence by
a big majority, to maue a mile oi wire
fence that will turn hogs as well as cattle,
costs $170 ; and to make a mile of hedge
fence that will turn all kinds of stock.costs
only $G0, a difference of $110 m favor of
the hedge. Therefore judge ye; remem
bering that the hedge fence does not maim
and cripple stock, while barbed wirj is, in
deed, very barbarious to the annimal king
dom that alone condemning it. The value
of stock lost by coming in contact with
birb wire fences would build and keep a
hedge fence iu good trim on every farm in
Kansas for a long time."

Kinsley. Kan. Jan. 15. We still grow
and boom, perhaps more than Wichita, as
Kinsley almost doubled in 1SSG. and will
nearly double again this year. When you
can double in a single year you can talk
about booming, blooming, etc.
The ice men are now packing large
quantities of ice, which is of number 1
quality, from ten to twelve inches Uick.
When we can have direct communication
by rail with Wichita we will be truly
happy, and I hope to have something to re
port to you about the Wichita & Colora
do railroad in a few days that will be in
teresting to Wichita. Kinsley wants the
Wichita & Colorado must have it. You
puih on that eud and ve will pull on this
end.
We arc having nice winter weather and
health is very good.
The Indiana Muddle.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 15. In the
circuit court this morning argument was
continued in the iujuuctiou proceedings of
Senator Smith against Lieut -Gov-.
Robertson. Judge Turpie's argument
occupied nearly two and a half hours. At
it's conclusion Judge Alex C. Ayres said
he would withhold decision until Monday
morning at 9 The cbief point made by
Turpie was that the constitution only pro
vided for the election of governor and
lieutenant-governor every four year-, and
that in case of death the office should Ik
tilled by succession; th.it these four year
terms were in the nature of a reign, and
that vacancies could not be supplied at a
bienual election. lie held strongly that
there had for this reason been no election
of lieutenant governor. Judge Ayres de
cision will be followed by an immediate
appeal to the supreme court and final
ruling mav be hauded down Tuesday.
"So License for Spies.
Chicago, Jan. 15. I will not grant the
marriage license to Mis Vaudersmt to
marry Spies, said Eugene Zeigler, the mar
riage licen-e clerk. The fact of one of the
parties being convicted of felony is declared
by statute to be a sufficient ground for di
vorce, Mr. Zeigler went on to say. and I
think it certaiu they should bar a marriage.
Hi-re is a man with his head in a halter; I
do not think he may lawfully contract anil
be joined iu marriage. However, preced
ents are very rare and a court might com
pel me to grant the licen-e, but until quo
w.-.rr.mto proceedings are instituted I will
