IN SPEGLIL NESSmN

Both branches of the legislature met
at noon OH the 18th inst, and immedi-
ately notified the governor of their or
ganization. The governors message
was read 10 the senate and house. The
message is very long containing about
COCO words. The following is a sum-
mary Of ITS points: The governor called
attention To the constitutional provision
requiring the legislature to take new
apportiOnment every five years. begin
ming in 1885. And the apportiOnment
this year TO be based on the enumera-
tion under the secretary of the agricul-
tural board in 1885.
No provisions were made for the cuI-
rent expenses of the reform school for
the year ending June 1856. The COVER
nor says the executive council gave its
own notes to keep the reform school
running. He recites the great value of
the labor bureau and the bureau of sta
tistics, and urges provision for the pay
meut of secretary Betton. The same
recommendation is made for the expen-
ditures OF the state board of health.
Clark and Meade counties require
courts which they do not now have He
urges the attachment of the unUrgan-
lied counties TO others for judicial pur-
poses.
lie speaks of the Importance of appro-
priatiOns for eXtTaditiOn purposes.
The governor details the account of
the Missouri Pacific strike. and says:
My experience in connection with this
labor trouble, and the invest igation |
have since given the subject, convince
me that provision should be made 10y
law for the settlement of such difficult
ties by arbitration lie earnestly
recommended arbitration laws as vital
to the peace and prosperity of both cap
ital and labor.
He urges that Decoration day be made
a legal holiday.
lie advises that the word white" be
stricken from the constitution.
That the government be requested to
establish a military post on the border
in view of Indian depredations and
scares: also that the government disarm
/ the Indians.
He advises close economy in expendi-
lures this session on account of public
buildings requiring SO much money.
Attention is directed 10 the stock san
itary laws, and he says that Kansas lost
S2.O00,O0 by hog cholera.
lie says that if the session is to take
up general legislation, he repeats the
recommendations of last year.
/ lie advocates that the Price raid
Claims be paid.
/ On the temperance question he urges
that the general workings of the pres
ent laws have been favorable and organ
/ lied opposition is fast disappearing and
popular favor is positive toward obedi-
ence to the amendment. He says that
/ a year ago there were saloons in thirty
/ towns and now in only two, and they
are almost suppressed.

SentatiVes to work for bill tO make

each year of not less than three weeks

us is absolutely necessary in order TO

tition for district made up of those
two counties solely which would require

examination of the election returns will

been for these two counties, the district
would have had To put up with an in
ferior lawyer on the bench. Had we
not wanted Judge Ilerrick we would
hAye voted for Judge Reed. We had
particular use for an industrious. pains
taking and upright judge. for our court
docket waserolvded, there were old and
knotty cases to he disposed Of, and we
wanted q man Of patience who would
come and camp with us until the docket
was cleared. Harper county was ION

gave Judge 1errick amajurity of seven!
Sumner cdGnty went against him
strongly. Barber county voted yes by

The cancellations occurred mainly i'm

Nothing is said as to whether some of
these cancellations may beIfhe result
of too great zeal on the part of the
special agents. The office is trying TO

An Indian territory special saws that
the discovery has been made that nearly
all the bills passed 10y the recent Chero-
kee legislature are imperative from the
fact that they were drafted in such u
Way as to obscure their meaning and
intent. About twenty clerks were en-
ployed ut considerable expense, and TO
them were cnulided through outlines of
the various measures which the legis-
nature wished TO discuss and adopt.
The clerical employees, it appears. were
unable To get the bills in proper shape.
the result being mass of words devoid
Of ideas. Chief Bushyhead expressed
a wish in u message To both houses that
two competent persons be chosen to
draft laws out OF the conclusions of the
special committees, but most OF the
Legislators resented the suggestion as
an impertnence and refused to be
guided 10y il. Hence the work of the
session has proven nearly,,if not alto
gether, fruitless.

school for fraud in the building and re-

by the persons who gave us the infor-
