SENATOR sLuss, ELL.

Senator Sluss' bill to establish State land
Office and to provide for the appointment Of
a commissioner, Is one Of the most impor-
tant measures ever presented to the Lesisla-
ture. As matters stand now no one has any
idea whatever as to the amount OF common
school land in the State. and this bill creates
a custodian therefor and makes arrangement
for the sale Of the lands after appraisement.
No school land can now be sold unless TWEEN.
ty land owners in the vicinity shall give their
consent, and in the majority Of cares no con.
sent can be obtained becaure the land hold
ers of the vicinity want the land for grazing
and other purposes. Should the common
school lands OF the state be soid At any price
whatever, it is estimated that what they
would bring, together with interest, would,
at the end Of ten years, amount to about $i4,.
OK, 900. There is about $2.000,0O0 In the
school fund now and Of course this will grow
SO it can be easily seen that II the State Of
Kansas shall take any sort Of care whatever
Of its school lands and get any sort Of price
for them, in ten years the State permanent
SCHOOL fund would amount TO over oil, 00O,.
900, by far the largest in the United States,
though Texas claims that her school fund,
when all her school lands are cold, will
amount to $40 900. The great need at
the present time is that the State shall At
least find out what lands she really does pos.
sess, and make the most she can out Of them.
The bill should pass the House. I'D will, il
is rigbtfullly Acknowledgement ,Neps..

PAINS OF PARqugIrroN.

The Kansas Legislature is going through a
profuse sweat this week. The case seems
one Of triplcts, which, whether ever success
fully delivered or not. have long since been
named. Railroad. Apportionment. and Pro-
hibiiion make up an aggregated bufthen the
contemplation Of which causes the knees OF
the average legislator to suddenly give out,
as 1t were. The agonizei wish that there
had never been an election day does not re-
lieye them from the stern command coming
up from their constituents to ''face the mt
Sic" These dear representatives have our
sympathy. but we can do nothing for them.
III in the matter of railroads they pass law
SO extreme that II will not stand the racket
OF the supreme court or the light of the COZ
stitution; or IL in the matter Of apportion-
ment they should gerrymander in the inter-
est Of personal aspiring friends; or If in the
matter Of Prohibition they do any thing or do
nothing. they can confidently count on no
end OF trouble when they get home. Indi-
vidual lodging won't do, and any sickness
must be certified to by physician in good
standing.
It's lots of fun to 60 to the Legislature.

TIE JUDGESHIP.

Charley Hatton, Joe. Houston, II. G.
Ruggles, Judge. Campbell and Frank Dale
went TO Topeka, Saturday, to help the Gov
ernor appoint the judge Of the 18th judicial
district. There are number of aspirants,
including Mr.. Sluss and Judge Harris, OF
Wichita; Mr.. Leland, of Eljorado, and Mr..
George Orner, of Barbour. Mr.. Sluss is the
choice of the Republican, and MIR. Harris OF
Democratic members of the bar. The latter
is the choice of the entire bar, If Mr.. Sluss
is not appointed.-Beaeon. ~.
Correct in the main. As to Mr.. Sluss being
an aspirant We have only this TO say. He
has not by act or word intimated that he
wanted the place. He has never mentioned
the matter to either the Governor nor bis
own friends. If he should be appointed, he
no doubt would accept.

TARIFF REVISION.

The Emporia Mars. level headed, most
pronounced Republican newspaper, says:
We are Of the opinion that the free list
could be largely and properly extended.
There is no doubt that the abolition OF
duties on many law materials would be OF
great advantage TO numerous Industries, and
to consumers as well, and we feel quite sure
that the reduction Of the surplus revenue
by reduction Of duties, instead of cxtray-
agant expenditures, would give more salts
faction 10 the people than the continuance
of taxes on a war footing. The country is
not ready for free trade. and we think that
congress is not disposed to make any serious
of business interests by extreme

Of opinion from Republican newspapers OF
the West, il viii be found parallel to the
views expressed in the above.

1t looks very much as If substantially the
Kelly railroad bill would become law.
Brother Kelly is q granger, and ought to
know about what IL needed on this question.
He is practical, level headed man. and one
of the earliest settlers in Kansas. The people
will be disposed to look with considerable
favor upon any bill introduced by Mr.. Kelly,
especially upon this question. He undoubtly
seeks justice between the people and the
railroads. There is class Of shysters and
demagogues that don't care anything about
the real interests OF the people in the mat
ter, or the railroads. They simply want to
ride upon the crested waves Of froth an
foam. They seek to take advantage Of pop
ular passion for their own personal gain.
They are frauds OF the.6r water. The
temperate, conservative men of the lcgisla-
ture should set down on them very audibly.

TOO MANY STATE BURTHENs.

The annual levy for State purposes is rub
bling million dollars, close. That is heap
of money to be raised by young State not
one-quarter developed. When such coun-
ties as Sedgwick, which is not yet dozen
years old, 10 called on for an annual contri-
button Of twenfy-one thousand dollars, one
commences to wonder what becomes of such
vast sums. Not satisfied with building and
maintaining all of the necessary and ordi.
nary State institutions, Kansas is duplicat-
ing up on some. Not only that, but the
present legislature shows q strong DISPOSE
ton to create several new ones. A halt had
better be called, and as no one else seems
inclined to shoulder the responsibility, we
will do it. IL the first place the members
OF the present legislature should understand
that the property Of every good or worthy
town in the State cannot be supplemented
by a State institution. We said years ago
that the annual appropriations being made
to private institutions at Leavcnworth. and
other points, would eventually saddle such
institutions upon the State. Three charita.
BILE institutions located Mt the latter place,
are expecting the peoples money for another
two years. A library at Parsons is asking a
slice of the States money. Besides bills
have been introduced for the establishment
Of another Normal school at Concordia,
kind OF Penitentiary annex at Clay Center,
another smaller annex at Winfield, and so |
on. Taking them together with a half u |
dozen new officers and departments in pro-
cess Of creation by the present Legislature,
and the chances are that the people will |
sweat for it.
Now our idea in a few words would be to |
have new constitution cutting off over half
OF our present officers, and very greatly |
simplifying our town, district and city gov
ernmcnts. But in the absence Of anew con-
stitution let the law making power keep
strictly within the contemplation OF the old

THE KELLY BILL.

The more extreme members of the House
don't seem to take kindly TO Senator Keliy's
bill, il we may judge of the reports in the
Topeka papers. The Senate committee was
almost unanimous in Its favor, and the House
cannot afford to antagonize it unless certain
of the passage OF better bill. IL won't do
to come home and say that the Kelly bill
wasn't good enough, unless something bet
ter passes. In other words, the House can't
afford, by quarreliDg over the matter 10 de-
feat all legislation. The railroads are keep
ing their hands off thereby asserting TO the
demand for legislative control, and there re-
mains no reason why the legislature should
not meet and dispose of the issue in spirit
Of fairness. The Kelly bill is almost word
for word The Iowa law. A majority of the
leading papers of the State, which led off in
the demanding OF railroad legislation, de-
clare their satisfaction with the Kelley bill,
and EXTREMISTS should not be allowed to de-
feat the measure.

| Men who have spent years in the Indian
Territory are at loss to account for the
Oklahoma craze Outside OF the reserva-
lions there is little else than grazing lands

THE OKLAHOMA INVASION.

ST. LOUIS, February Ga Little Rocl
special says: Advices from the Indian Terri
tory are to the effect that the Indians are
greatly excited aud stirred up in regrad t.
the threatened invasion at Oklahoma by
Payne and his followers. They fear Payne'i
persistence will ultimately force the govern
ment TO compromise or settlement OF that
part Of the Territory. Opinion is divided
among the leaders as to whether the expul
sion Of invaders ought to be left wholly to
the government or whether the Indians ought
not to assist In driving them out. Should
the latter be decided upon, the probabilities
are that blood will be spilled. Gen. POpe's
troops are guarding the border, but SO far NO
captures are reported nor does it seem to be
known whether any movement has yet been
made on the Territory.

are, upon their face, unconstitutional, and

Is low down as Austin and San Antonio il
