ture, while young Mr.. Phelps is now doing
the same thing. This hereditary Predisposi /.
ton to assist in making laws, extending back
in this case through six generations, does not
often exist 1t would seem to follow that the
present Mr.. Phelps should be peculiarly well
fitted for his work. Though wisdom itself can

the best wisdom is acquired in a compare.

stronger with successive generations. II
this is the case the Connecticut Legislature is

A Parliamentary SHARP"

Washington Cor Boston Traveller.
At the end Of the line Of clerks directly in
front Of the Speakers desk in the House Of
Representatives, sits a short, stubby, round
faced gentleman whogrequen,ly grabs large
black mous,ache with his hand, looks ner-
vously around at the presiding officer, and
then cares calmly upon the seething Congress
sional eoquence and wisdom below him.
This gentleman is Mr.. Harry Smith, the
Journal Clerk Of the House, who came in
with the Forty first Congress, and is liable to
remain where he is just as long as he chooses.
The cob Of the Republican and the flow Of
the Democratic majorides sweep other officials
out into the cold. cold world. but he alone re.
mains an uncoucerned observer Of the fights
Of factions and the bitter controversies of
parties.
He has made place Of his own, and |, is
no idle statement to say that there is not
a man in the country to-day who could fill Il,
should he retire. Mr.. Smith is retained in his
position to prompt the Speaker on all ques-
tons Of parliamentary law and practice. In
the midst Of q squabble, while both sides are
doing their best to carry a point either one
way or the other, the Speaker may lose his
head, and in the scores Of precedents thrown
at him may for the moment be thoroughly
"ra,tled" II is then that Mr.. Smith proves
himself master Of the situation. Hastily seiz-
ing his manual he will rapidly turn to the
exac, place which will solve the question be-
yond shadow Of q doubt, and then he takes
a position directly in front Of the Speakers
desk and hastily arms the presiding officer with
a formidable array OF rules and prac-
tice which almost invariably tumbles over
the pretty structures Of mingled fancy and
logic, which the members have been building
about them. Speaker Carlisle relies upon his
judgment and knowledge implicitly, as did
also Speaker Keller, and it is probable that
portion OF the long line of Speakers to come
will do the same thing. whether they be
Republicans or Democrats. Mr.. Smith re-
ceives $1,000 a year as Journal Clerk and
$1,000 for his preparation Of the digest, which
is compiled during the recess OF Congress.
Personally he is one Of the most genial and
affable Of men His value in the prompt dis
patch oil the business OF the House of Repre-
seniatives can not be estimated. Mr.. Smith
is native OF New York. but served with dis
tinction in the war of the rebellion in one Of
the Michigan regiments.

RAILROAD TAXES.

TaX-paying with railroads in Kansas has
closed for the year. In Colorado the Santa
Fe has between SO, 900 and s6O, 900 to pay,
but the time is not up until the end of the
year. As to the railroad commission
tax in this State, the Union Pacific has paid
theirs, aggregatlng some s3,O65. The Mis-.
souri, Pacific paid theirs under protest to
the State treasurer, and the Santa Fe have
refused to pay at all. The amount Of enc
istter's tax for this purpose was essSOo' Tne
missouri faciac was ,mn.s to pay theirl
10 the State treasurer, from the fact that
they had not time to go under protest in
each county. State Treasurer Rowe mott.
fed the county treasurers that the money
was deposited to their credit, and they re.
ceipted to the tax commissioner, MIR. High.
ieyman, for the amount. In q few instances
where the Santa Fe company had sent Its
checks, the treasurers in view of the con-
troversy regarding this tax refused TO rec.
ognize them as legal tender. Accordingly,
on last Thursday, the 10th, the last day OF
grace. q special train was furnished Mr..
Edward T. Cartilage, the chief tax clerk,
and with S63, 900 In cash he started for the
Southwest. The last tender was made
about O'Clock In the evening at yelling
ton, Sumner county. In every instance
where the cash was offered the checks were
recognized and accepted as tender within
the meaning of the law. Mr.. Edward Will
der, treasurer of the company, also went on
a like mission to johnson and Douglas
counties. Butler and Harvey are the only
counties in the State which finally refused
to accept any portion Of the tax from the
railway companies without the whole of it
was paid

sovereign OF a squatter, and who passed
through hardships and excitements Of the
early settlement OF Kansas, lies upon our

Of the men, women and times when 1t took

lGssr from the pen OF Ex-Governor Charles
ubbiusou:
LAWRENCE, December 81, 1888
M. Mary A. Humphrey:
DEAR MADAM have just finished read
ing your "Squatter Sovereign" and permit
n to say, though personally a stranger, il
d better than had anticipated, which is
osying much. You were most fortunate In
sslecting your characters from the squatters
- claims, rather than the settlers in towns.
No settlers were so much exposed to hard.
sAAp and danger as the isolated sqratters,
nd they were the genuine heroes OF the
sssfiict.
Your pictures are not overdrawn Of their
psivafions, exposures and brutal treatment.
For weeks and months many of these dwell
en- on the prairie retired at night uncertain
whether they would awake in this world or
sone othea. II gives me more pleasure than
! can express to see by your book that the
rsai heroes aud saviors, the squatters, have
been discovered and recognized at last.
Your subject Is one Of thrilling interest
y every old settler as well as to the new,
81 the story is charmingly told. 1t gives q
mere vivid and life-lke picture than is pos
slble In q formal and literal narrative OF
events, aud Is far more interesting.
( Thanking you for the service YOU have
'Asae In picturing for the new squatters the
No and trials OF the old, am yours very

AP0LITIcAL FIRM.

Old newspaper readers will remember the
letter written by Horace Greeley, in which
he announced the dissolution Of the politi.
cal firm of "seward, Weed & Greeley" by
the withdrawal of the junior partner. Mr..
Greeley asserted that the work Of the firm
had largely devolved on him, while its hon.
ors and emoluments had been absorbed by
the senior members.
This old letter is recalled by an article
published In the FL Dorado Republican for
the current week The editor of that pa
per says that about fifteen years ago, when
be came to Butler county, somebody init
mated that there was a new political organ
ixation formed in the great southwest, the
members Of the firm being ME, Marsh and
jake" "Me" stood for the editor Of the
Republican Marsh was the Wichita EA-
GLE man, and Jake was the Emporia
Hses editor. The outcome Of this c0mbl-
uation, the Republican says, was that
"Marsh'' and "Jake" each froze onto a
postofiice, and strange TO say, have been
holding tight ever since, leaving him to
hold the bag or suck the hind teat rs IL
were, aud have never offered to "diyide."
TIE .'politicai combination was fiction,
u the partners to il have rarely agreed.
But we think the senior members might
spool their issues" now, and urge the APP
pointment of the junior member as Rail-
road Commissioner.-Atehi Champion.
.sMarsh" cannot speak for the 'Jake"
part Of the combination, but he has found
Mttie else than 'cussin', faultfinding and
threats to divide" The fore teat may
have doomed up more prominently, but its
contents has proved little else than gall and
Bitterness. The hind tea., at least, seems
70 have contained no little wind from the
noise its sucker. "Me," makes. But, Of
course, we are ready TO pool and urge the
Executive Council TO appoint me" who
we are convinced is not only well qualified
for the place, as much SO as any man in the
State, but who would make very satisfac.
tory and level-headec commissioner.

CLOSED UP.

The last saloon in Topeka succumbed to
the demands Of the law on Friday, and,
three days before the last saloon in Law.
renee closed. A dispatch from Lawrence
says the saloon keepers gave up the fight,
closing front and back doors. The three
saloons in Topeka holding out were notif'
I'd by the sheriff that he would place
deputy in each to watch the sales until cases
were made, when the owners announced
that ft was no use and shut up.
So farss the open saloon is concerned, that
win be the logic Of the situation. Open "a.
looms must 80, or the law must go. How.
ever public sentiment In such places as To
peka, Lawrence, Leavenworth and Wichita
seems to favor open saloons. and however
ssten and persistently officers may be elect
ed that are opposed TO its enforcement, the
great majority OF the law-abiding citizens
win not rest quietly under its continual
.,f~lstion
