THE RATLRO1D pROBLEN

As will be seen by reference to ouI
advices from Topeka, committee oil
conference, composed of members OF the
house and senate has been appointed &c
harmonizc, if possible, the antagonism
existing between those two bodies on
the question OF railroad legislation, and
to agree upon some feasible measure
for the regulation of the abuses
which have been practiced in the past
by the common carriers of the state
There are som very radical points OF
difference between the house and SEN
ate bills, and the supporters of each
have intimated that they will, under nc
conditions, recede from the positions
which they have taken This is as good
thing AS the railroads could desire,
and it Is to be hoped Tor the interests OF
the people of the state, not to speak OF
the welfare of the Republican party, that
the gentlemen composing the committee
OF conference may agree upon u measure
which will embody the best features OF
both bills and that such measure may
pass the Legislature anil become a law.
We have favored the Kelley bill
passed by the senate, because we knew
II to be almost an exact transcript of the
Iowa railroad law, which has been tested
and found, in the main, satisfactory, and
for the reason that we felt persuaded that
its author had given the most careful at
tention to the question of railroad legis-
lation, and is gentleman who cannot
be approached or corrupted by the cor.
pOrations or influenced by their bland
ishments. We have regarded his bill as
good, tenable starting point at least,
in the direction ot reform
OF the abuses with which the railroads
stand convicted, and we have seen no
reason TO change our views on this que s.
ton.
We do not regard the house bill as
feasible as the senate measure, though
1t possesses some good points which
might be incorporated in the Kelley
bill without detriment 10 the latter
measure. 1t is very apparent that the
advocates of both measures will have
to yield somewhat to each other, and
the members of the present legislature
will prove recreant TO their highest duty
If they permit their pride of opinion
and logged persistence IN their own
personal views to defeat the end for the
attainment of which they have been
laboring for weeks.
This paper has said, and We are will.
ing TO stand by the prediction, that a
failure to pass an equitable railroad law
at this session of the Legislature will
give the next legislature to the Demo-
Gratis, reflect Governor Click and send
Democrat to the L. ). senate from
Kansas in 1885. The importance of
forestalling such political revolution
should be apparent II every member of
the Kansas legislature who has sniff
cient intelligence to appreciate The I'M
mutability of the law of cause and
effect

THE CONFERENCE Co.UvlrrEJ

THE CONF.ERENCE COMMITTEE.
Topeka Capital: At last a committee
OF conference of the two branches of the
legislature-thrce members of the senate
and five of the house-has been ap-
pointed to consider and adjust the pre-
vailing difficulties on the railroad qucs-
ton. There are at least two of the
house portion of the committee who are
exceedingly radical upon the subject OF
railroad regulation and control, and who
may be expected to contend strenuous
ly, though we think not stubbornly, for
maximum rates aud there is ono of the
senate portion of the committee who
mildly favors maximum rates, but is
not inclined, it is understood, ITO make
that point an ultimatum. The other
two senate members of the committee
will insist upon the Kelley bill, it is
said, and two OF the house members are
counted the same way, while the fifth
house member is claimed by both sides.
What the result will be, it is difficult
10 conjecture, of course The drift of
opinion seems to be, however, that the
Kelley bill will be taken us the basis of
compromise, one side maintaining
that the Sluss amendment will be added.
giving the commissioners power - fix
reasonable rates." while the other
looks TO see the bill made more stringent
in some respects, but without any at
tempt TO regulate rates. There is IA
possibility, to be sure, that there may be
deadlock in the committee, four
standing for maximum rates, and four
againsti AMI 1t Is also possible that in
case oil an agreement, one or the other
OF the houses may refuse To approve the
report, and so defeat the result of the
conference. We think it more likely,
however, that the committee will come
TO an understanding which will give
reasonable satisfaction TO all parties, and
thus solve this perplexing problem in a
manner that cannot be seriously criti-
ciZed.

The public will readily accept as au-
thentic the statement that Topeka was
easily captured by Minnie Hank, when
they learn, upon the authority of the
press of that city, that the distinguished
cantatrice "made her flashing and bril-.
liant appearance for her first number,
ROBBED in a peculiar dress of royal rcd,
trimmed with Valenciennes lace-made
by Worth, of Paris-with diamonds
flashing every where, pearl necklace
encircling her fair throat, about her
head vertible crown containing five
large diamand stars--a present from the
Empress of Russla-large solitaire
earrings sending forth their dazzling
CLEANS, and diamond bracelet very
rare and valuable, enclosing long, tan
colored gloves, reaching 10 the elbows"
The aesthetic thinner of this bewilder-
ing toilet, by very grave oversight,
leaves the public mind in the zimmerman
gloom of hopeless conjecture regarding
the prlma donna's shoes and the pecu-
liar shade and texture of the hose at
fected by the diva, and, what is persum.
ably of less consequence t. votaries of
the lyric art at Topeka, employs nota-
bic brevity in connection with Miss
Hauk's vocal attalnments and her dram
| attic power. A high tribute to her art
however, stands confessed in the an
nouncement that two years of her in
fancy were speat in Eas tern Kansas
and we are assured that she not Only
seated herself TO a knabe piano with H.
comparable grace, but that she is richly
lowered by those attributes that "neveI
fail to catch musical and refined
audience"
Minnie sang u few evenings since al
Leavenworth, and the radical difference
between the structures of the papers Of
that city in relation to tLis mooted lady
and the cncomiums of the Topeka press
justlfles the inference that the people Of
the first-hamed town are mournfully
dead to the glitter of precious gems; ir
responsive to the subtitle influence!
which radiste from terra Gotta gloves
aud are withal utterly insensible to those
agreeable effects of color and expression!
Of ;esthelicism which invest the artistic
female toilet and seem so deeply pc
tent t. excite popular enthusiasm at the
state capital.
