In the House of Representatives of our
Legislature last Saturday the resolution
instructing the committee on state affairs
to investigate the management of the
office of secretary of state under the late
secretary was considered. Pending the
consideration, upon the assertion of Mr..
Buchan that the resolution was the in.
spiration Of the Kansas City Times, Mr..
Pangborn, the representative of that
paper, who was sitting at the reporters
table, remarked to Mr.. Buchan, at is a

This remark prompted the following
resolutions by NJ. Legate.

of the Kansas City Times, be expelled
from all privileges of the house or the

The resolution was adopted and the

The Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Journal of Commerce gives
some interesting facts, with figures, rela-
tive to the cost of running the State
government of Kansas under a Republi.
Gun administration and that of Missouri
under Democratic one. Among the
items of expenses enumerated, we find
the following in reference to the Cover
nor's mansion in the latter State, during
the year 1884: For improvements in
the Governors mansion, $500; for
stationery, $9,0l6; for gas $3.50; for cur
rent expenses sS,9S3; for furnishing this
mansion, s4,439; for lightning rods
$500. An, expensive institution that, the
Governors mansion of Missouri. If the
Kansas City Tines was not so wholly
engrosscd in its important work of "re-
forming" Kansas it might find in the
administration OF its own State affairs
many things needing investigation.

The Supreme Court of the United
States is urged by Mrs. Virginia L. Min.
or, of St. Louis, to decide that she is q
citizen of the United States, and that
said citizenship guarantees to her the
right to vote. From the treatment
of her petition it is evident that the
decision of the Court will be adverse to
her prayer. 1t is said, however, that the
Fourteenth Amendment is SO worded
that when (if ever the right to vote is
conferred on the women it will not be
necessary, in order to leaalize this right,
to change a word in the constitution.

openings of Wisconsin; but it is ''moral
strategy" to annually scatter three thou
sand obnoxious ''iron-cIad orphans "
juvenile criminals, among the peace full
homes and in the Giiiet ncighborhoods of
the State.
The good work and prayers of the peo-
pie of Wisconsin are decidedly weak if
they cannot overcome the evil and mis-
chief spread by one of these little waits.
We apprchend that this Board of Chart
ties and Reforms favors an amendment
to the Constitution supporting their
misunderstanding and religion. Their
opposition to ''iron-clad orphans" would
indicate that they are among those who
are just awakening to the fact that our
Constitution would do very we'll for a
nation of MohammedaDs.

Senator ingalls,.

The Kansas people are justly proud Of
the record Senator Ingalls, is making in
Washington. lie has attained unusual
standing and influence for new senator,
and is recognized as one of the best par
liamentarians in the senate. He is near
ly always called to preside over the sen.
ate when in committee Of the whole, and
much more than half the time while set
ting as a senate when the president pro
tenn is absent. In view of this fact, and
the fact that Mr.. Carpenter, who is now
president pro tenn, retires on the first of
March, he has been suggested for that
position after that time. He would
make an excellent officer, and the senate
cannot do better than to elect him, which
it is hoped they will do.-Ha.sas City

A LAW levying tax on dogs is much
needed in ourState; it would raise quite
a revenue and rid the State of large
number of pests. In the January report
of the Department of Agriculture at
Washington it is shown that the direct
loss from ravages committed by dogs
upon the sheep throughout the country
amounts to a million of dollars annually.
The Kansas returns had been received
from only eleven counties. but in these
counties out of 23,467 sheep raised last
year 900 were killed by dogs. A tax on
dogs of one dollar per head would raise a
fund large enough to pay for the sheep
killed by them, and would greatly en-
courage the raising of sheep.

IL Pennsylvania the temperance men
helped to elect Democratic legislators for

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation (;
which is due to merit alene. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard !;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
