The Kansas legislature meets January 10th. It is thought that Kansas" will Lave seven congrestmen under the new Special Announcement. We taka pleasure in announcing that we have made arrangements with the publisher of the Chicago Weekly News which enable us to club that paper with the Sentinel at the' very low price of $2 per year, a trifle over the regular price of the Sentinel alone. This i beyond question the first time that a metropolitan weekly has been brought within the reach of subscribers at bo small an additional price. For this comparatively small amount our readers can plaee themselves in com DIVIDING LYON COUNTY.

A great many rumors are afloatre-garding the formation of a new county from a part of Lyon and Greenwood counties. Such a scheme can only find lodgement in the brains of parties who have personal interests to gratify by some speculation or another. No disinterested taxpayer of either county can look upon such a echeme with favor, the consummation of which would increase the already enormous tex two fold. A proposition to cut off a part of Lyon county if submitted to a vote of the people would be overwhelmingly voted down, and we cannot believe that such a scheme will be carried out in defianee of the will of the people; yet, as tha will of the people has been ignored in other matters equaily a3 important, there is no telling what may not be accomplished by those who assume tc control the county. But wo shall see what we shall sse.

The silver dollar if, itself, the standard for measuring other coins; the United States eagle, that Mr. Sherman mentions with such admiration, was made equal to ten of these silver dollars; the half eagle was made equal to five of them: the double eale was made equal to twenty of them the gold dollar was made equal in value to one, and, in short, all our gold coins were made to conform to the standard of thi-j silver dollar, and when Mr.

Hayes tells the country that the silver dollar is worth only eighty-eight and a half cents, he puts things wrong end foremost and violates both reason and language. If he wants to state the truth iu a fair and lawful way, he ought to say that the gold dollar is worth 112 cents. Mr. Hayes tells us that "sound financial principles and our best interests require that the country should have as its legal-tender money both gold and silver coin of- an intrinsic value as bullion, equivalent to that wLieh, upon its face, it purports to possess." Yes; but we have this already our silver and gold coins have an intrinsic bullion value equivalent to their nominal value and a lit tie over tho silver dollar being worth 100 cents and the gold one 112 cents. He tells us further; "The constitution in express terms recognizes both gold and silver as the only true legal-tender money." J.

dpst indeed; but Mr. Hayes forgot the important fact when he vetoed the silver bill and thereby became a arty to the scheme for depriving the people of silver money and limiting them to gold alone in violation of the very constitution which he now invokes. Gold end silver are the lawful money of the United States not one by itself nor the other by itself, but both together, so as to give to debtors the choice of which they will pay their obligations in, and when the gold tricksters in 1873 stopped the coinage of one of these metajs and thereby demonetized it, it was an act of lawlessness and injustice whichprichly deserved the congressional and. popular condensation it subsequently received.

The time of year is near when the board of county commissioners of the different counties throughout the state usually let the county printing to the lowest fe3pomsiBle bidder. For some years, past the commissionsra of this county, for reasons best known to themselves, have not so much as offered to receive bids for doing the county printing, but have made one paper a privileged organ and given it the county printing at the highest legal rates, when it would have been done at half the price paid by any other paper, thus making the cost to the suffering tax-payer just one-half less than he was compelled to pay.

The question now presents itself whether the board of county commissioners are going to continue this business as heretofore, ear whether they will do this- business of the county in the same manner as if it were their own, and let it by contract to the paper which will do it at the lowest rates. By letting it to the lowest bidder a saving of many hundreds of dollars can be made to the tax -payers of Lyon county. If this be true, and the board can verify it by trial, no member of the board has any more right to pay more than what it will be done for than they have to give away Lhe property of an individual. The amount paid oyer and above the lowest rate the printing wou'd be done for is just so much of a deliberate steal from A Deceptive Planet If we may credit the astronomers, upiter is once more behaving in a highly mysterious and reprehensible manner.

If it were not the occupant of the august office of the American presidency who uses those words we should be inclined to point to them as an exhibition of immeasurable effrontery.

"What does Mr. Hayes mean by the word "dollar?" Does he knot know that its original, ancient and present meaning is the very silver coin which he attempts to disparage? That coin is worth just 100 cents by the laws of the land and by universal popular and he has no more right to say that its value is only eighty-eight and a half cents, than justers."
