THE LEGISLATURE ADD NEWSPAPERS. Commenting on the course pursued by a majority of the members ot the present legislature relative to the Grubb libel law, the publication of sample ballots, etc., the New Albany 2'ribune says: "The unjnst abuse showered upon the editors by these industrious statesmen has aroused a feeling among the brethren of the press which hus already borne fruit. They evince now a determination to be heard and to look out for themselves as other people do. Nearly all classes of people, scores of different kinds of associations, have moved on the legislature at each Bession, while the journalists and publishers alone have made no attempt to influence legislation. It may be confidently stated that there will be a change hereafter. So much has it come to be the case for the newspaper to be regarded as a pack mule to carry evervbody's burdens that the State through its legislators, has fallen into the same notion. In this matter of the publication of the tickets, the law directing it to be done prescribed condi tions that made it expensive to any newspaper to publish it, and then, when the work was done, the able statesman indulged in a lot of ribald abuse because the legal pay was asked for doing what the law required to be done. It is quite time the editorial fraternity should stand up and be counted. It is quite time the newspapers of Indiana should ask to be treated as well as those of Illinois aud

Ohfo. They have been contributing to parties and committees, towns and cities and townships and counties and the State, expending a thonsanJ dollars where an hundred is received, and their reward is abase and contumely and slander. All official business, the acts of township truetees, allowances of county commissioners, proceedings of city councils, school, road and tax laws passed by the legislature ought to be authoritatively published in two newspapers in each county, one of each leading party. And this work ought to be paid for at fair rates. If the acts of township trustees wore published in the newspapers, many a township in Indiana would have escnped robberie3 of many thousands of dollars There are two sides to this •publication question. Publication more in the interest o" the people than of the newspapers. If the newspapers in genera! looked out more for their own interests, and were a little less public spirited, less devoted to public interests, there would be fewer editors standing on the ragged edge of pauperism. If they will serve themselves as faithfully as they have served their party and the

State and every public interest, they will not in their age be left so naked to their enemies." .c/:

THE TOEKENS SYSTEM.

The Legislature of Illinois has under consideration the proposition of what is known as the Torrens system of land transfer. Two years ago Governor Fiter appointed a committee to examine into the subject ot land transfer reform and report to the Legislature. The commission has reported in favor of theTorrenB system. The Bar Association of Illinois and the Chicago Real Estate Board are both strongly in favor of the proposed reform. Under the proposed plan the history ot each piece of land is to be made and kept in the books of the

County Recorder. When a pieco of property is sold the transaction is added on the books and the history thus kept complete. Then when the sale is completed the seller and buyer go to the connty office and the former executes a certificate to the latter to the effect that hiB pioperty has been transferred. The certificate is taken up by the county officer and anew one iB issued. The certificate costs only a dollar or two and anp-vers the place of an expensive abstract, running back to the time when the land waB conveyed from the Government. These abstracts cost from $20 to $200, according to the number of transfers that have been made, and it is esti mated that 810,000,000 might be saved the people of Illinois alone each year, much of it to poor people who can ill afford to pay for long abstracts. The system has been in successful operation io South Australia and Now South

Wales for over thirty years, has been adopted in nine British colonies, includ ing British Columbia, Bnd even in con servative England, and is said to give the best satibfaction. This is a subject for the people of Indiana to think about.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel is etill chewing the rag over Judge Baker's de cision involving the right of a pauper to vote in the precinct where the poor house is located. The Judge holds that because he is an inmate and kept at the expense of the State he has not acquired a domicile and therefore not entitled to vote. As the paupers generally vote the Democratic ticket tho Sentinel howls at the decision. The Sentinel is not anything if it is not narrowly aad meanly partisan.

TR0M BLEFDING KANSAS.

Mr. Durham Gives a Ulear and Concise Be-

sumo of the State of Affairs.

To tho Editor The Journal. TOPKKA, K»n.. Feb. 28, '98.—The decision of the Supreme Court in favor ot the Republican House! Such was the announcement that, startled the l'opulists over the State of Kansas. It was 9 o'clock last Saturday morning that Chief Justice Horton ot the Supreme Court ot Kan-as gave out his decision thereby settling beyond doubt the legality of the Douglass House. The decision was sustained by Chief Justice Horton and Associate Justice Johnson, and the newly elected Populist Associate Justice Allen dissenting. The facts leading to the case beiug thrown into the court are these: L. C. Gunn, a Populist, was subpeened to appear as a witness before the committee of elections to testify in an investigation instituted by that committee. When the sergeant atarms of the now legal House arrested-

Gunn for refusing to Bppear before this committee Gunn said that the sergeant-at-arms of the so called legal House had no authority to carry out such an order as t.liis was not the legal House. Gunn filed a petition in the Supreme Court Biking to be relieved from this arrest on those grounds. The sergeant at-arms then filed a return stating that he was acting under tho orders of a legal House. These proceedings were simply made to throw the matter as to which was :he legally organized House of Representatives, the Populist or Republican organization. Justice Horton in stating tiie

opinion of the court Baid that the ques tion in controversey was not one bearing upon the liberty of a citizen but was whether this House ordering the arrest of this man had the authority to do so. The decision settled beyond doubt that the House presided over by George L. Douglass was the legal House of Representatives. Justice Allen, the dissenting Justice, in a very able address set forth the views that the Supreme Court had no power whatever in such a case as this, that the Governor and Senate were the only ones who could determine such a question. Stormy scenes immediately followed the rendering of the decision in fie Populist quarters. The State ofli ciftls said they would not abide with the decision as also did the Sen Cat after due consideration the Populists arrived at a point where they said they would submit to tho decision under pro test. So to-day at 10 o'clock the Populist members of the legal House of Rep resentatives bearing au Ame-ican flag at the head of the column marched in body to Representative hall. There was no applHuse or jeering but perfect order reigned. The roll was called, the

Popnlists answering to their names for the first time called by the P.cr" Hcan clerk. The Populists say they will no place on the committees and will pass no bills bnt the necessary appropriation bills. Tho Populists all say that they will abide with this as a temporary decision, the final decision to be made by the people of the State of Kansas at the next election. It generally conceded that John Martin's election as U. S. Senator will stand the way it now is and no one will be elected to succeed him. The Populist Adjutant General, Artz, is now busy organizing and drilling men in the necessary mili tary dicipline who will "obey the com mauds of the Governor of the State and who will protect the State's property.'

Remarking on the work done by the de ceased rump House, but 19 'important' ills were passed. Many amusing inci dents occurred during the time the two Houses were trying to organize. The Popnlists Chaplain, W. G. Todd, one morning delivered a rounding prayer to the Creator after this fashion: "And we beseech Thee, Almighty, to guide this House in the performance of its duties, and to divide the sheep (with a motion of his bund to the left, occupied by the Populists) from the goats" (motioning toward the Republican side.) The Chaplain kept up these one sided beseechings throughout the sessions of the rump House and all his prayers were delivered with an oratorical fervor. Considerable time was occupied in the rump House with the question ot removing the State Capital and it was generally agreed to by the

Popnlists that Topeka was not deserving of such an honor as to have the State Capital situated as it was in the midst of the "rebels." Kansas, who has always been before the public in her many startling reforms and strange laws and her exciting scenes, still keeps up her role and ever will, but we will all hope that the coming changes in her history will all be for the better. Thooe facts above quoted are the statements made with as unprejuciced a view as possible, by one of THE JOUK.NAI.'S

Kansas friends. FRED H. DUJUIAM
