,e a feature Of our state govern

Luz moAnSAo w AOt1CC III. a.
Chambers, the member from Sher-
idan county. He was a member
of the house two years ago. His
being continued in this one is not
only credit to his constituents, but
a splendid advertisement for them.
This winter he knew how to 60 to
work. The result was that hepush-
ed his bills through early and easily,
and is in proper plight for observing
the contortions of more unfortunate
members who, weighted with de-
preston, are destined to hear the last
fall Of the speakers gavel before the
passage Of any bill Of merit intro
duced by themselves. 1t is easy to
comprehend The vantage ground of
Mr.. Chambers and his constituents.
W. NJ. Rice, of Bourbon, is serv-
ing his first term in the house. He
FORCES well to the front, because he
has the energy and brains to place
him there.
J. P. Kenea, of Linn, is one of the
courteous and vigilant Of the house
members. He has been connected
with the LaCygne Journal for almost
nineteen years.
Street, of Decatur, is an old news
paper friend Of ours and a rustler.
He takes prominent rank in the
house.
Duval, Of the Norton Courier, is
an attentive working member. He
is just the kind Of a worker to
amend measure to his liking, and
see it run the various quantities. to
the executive department.
WaIrond, of Osborne, who was
the northwest's candidate for speak
er Of the house, has the courage Of
his convictions. These are always
based upon the purest Of motives.
Osborne county should be proud of
her representative.
Reeder, Of Ellis, is among the
Woodworking, able members of the
house. He stays by his knitting, to
use homely expression; and when
he sees any thing which needs doing,
he proceeds to do it or try vigor-
ously.
One Of the smooth-sailing men,
bers is Mcfarland, of Ness. He is
a good worker and very popular.
One of the able members of the
house is Sutton, of Ford. With
one end Of the same led pencil press
ed by each hand, and this combina-
ton moving gracefully from up to
down and back, like the ends of a
pair Of hand-car handles, he makes
a logical, forcible speech, which, for
terseness and ingenuity, would be
creditable to any of our Kansas Or
ators. Ford's representative lay at
home sick during the entire session
Of two years ago, but she is making
up handsomely this winter for lost
time.
There is a member of the house
whose speaking is theatrical, whose
ability to gain the speakers recogni-
ton is not open to question, and
whose general success as a legisla-
tor stamps him as one of the leading |
young men Of modern Kansas. His
name is Burton. You know, and it
would be useless for US to repeat it,
he halls from Dickinson.
Buffalo" Jones, Of Finney, is
Industrious and aspiring.
He is credit to his constituency.
The irrigation bill, in which he has
oeen SO vitality interested during this
session, is likely to become law. 1t
provides for the appointment Of an
irrigation commissioner, and is cal
to protect irrigating COM
oanies in the further building Of
litches. Mr.. Jones said to us that,
n the case of this bill becoming
aw, he expected to be up in Trego
county before long, to see what
could be done at irrigation along
,ur streams. We pressed it upon
lin not to forget the trip.
