4 SCHEME KILLED.

The supreme court of Kansas has
just killed a scheme to re-elect Ingalls,.
c. l.. Lobdell, of Lane county, was
elected delegate TO the legislature by
the republicans. In pursuance of the
Ingalls, plan he demanded of the state
board of canvassers certificate of cleo
ton as member of the legislature on
the ground that Lane county had cast
more than $50 votes, the number re-
quired by the constitution to entitle an
organized county to representation. AS
the constitution limited the member
ship of the house TO l25, and as the en-
tire number was provided tor by the reg
ular apportionment, the board declined
to consider Mr.. Lobdell's demand, and
the matter was taken to the supreme
court. Had Lobdell succeeded, at least
fifteen other delegates stood ready to
make similar demands. This would
have increased the membership of the
lower house to al, or Is more than is
permissible by the constitution.
If by any means sIxteen regularly
elected members from the more popu-
lous districts could haye been dropped
to make room for the delegates, the
Ingalls, men figured that they would
gain sufficient to make certain his cleo
ton. But for the purpose of contest
they did not care what disposition was
made of the knotty problem. If the
delegates were admitted and the total
membership of the house increased to
l4l, they would have gone before the

United States senate and insisted that
the legislature was an unconstitutional
body because its members exceeded 125.
They have been foiled in this at least
and the Legislature Will stand as origin
ally announced, with only the number of
members prescribed by the apportiOn-
ment.
Another plan was In case the dele
gates were denied full membership to
make contest on the claim that the
constitution entitled them to seats,
and that if they had been admitted In
gals would surely have been elected.
And if 1t had been possible to admit
them and drop enough other members
to keep the number within the consti-
tutiOnal requirements they would still
claim the indulgence of the senate on
the plea that sixteen regularly elected
members had been unlawfully denied
the right to perform the duties of the
Office to which they had been chosen by
the people. Thus they were prepared
for either horn of the dilema. But the
supreme court denied the writ, and
squelches that part of the programme.

The National convention of the ALI
ance is In session at Ocala, Florida.
The delegates from Kansas seem to be
leaders in the movement. But the ses-
sion is a secret one, and only such mat.
ter is given out for publication as the
official reporter and the secretary see
proper to give. Many things of great
interest have perhaps transpired of
which the outside world knows nothing.
1t looks as though third party ticket
would be in the field in 1892, and just
now both old parties are trying to guess
what the result will be.

The cold weather of the past few days re-
minds us that winter is here, and it has caused
the stove to occupy its old time place.
Benz. Lasswell, who lives nile and hale
south of town, has been In very poor health
for some time. and It was doubted whether he
would recover; but am happy to say that he
is now convalesciug, and expresses hope to
live to see the peoples party victorious in the
campaign of 1892. Mr.. Lasswell came here
from Iowa, about years ago, and by industry
and economy, has improved his farm until he
has one of the best places in this valley. The
past season he succeeded in raising good av-
erage yield of corn, which is not true of many
farmers in this valley. He is adding a nice
addition to his house. greatly improving its
appearance. His house is well sheltered on
the north by splendid grove of trees. He
has pair of fox squirrels inhabiting his
grove. Mr. Lasswell was formerly a gresn-
hacker. having voted for Peter Cooper, and
each succeeding presidential candidate to
and including A. j. Streeter. He is whole
soued alliance man, and having been so long
in sympathy with the minority in past political
struggles, he rejoices greatly in our partial
success in 1890.
Mr.. Trice has started a meat market here,
and is filling longfelt want in this place.

The action of the national convention
of the farmers alliance in passing a
resolution in opposition to the force bill
has infurIated the republicans in con.
gress. Senator HOar, when he read the
resolutions denounced the farmers of
the United States generally as lot of
ranting demagogues and chronic kick
ers. Spooner, OF Wisconsin, was equal
ly emphatic; in fact nearly all the firm
advocates of the force bill In congress
had something to say disparaging about
the farmers. On the other hand, sena-
tors like Plumb, Davis, of Minnesota,
Teller and Wolcott, of Colorado and
others from agricultural states,look up
on the action of the alliance very seri-
ously, and have been limiting to their
associates that it would be very bad
politics for awestern senator togo direct
IL against any reasonable request of the
alliance. Republican members of the
house from Reed down have been ac-
cnsing the farmers alliance of imperti-
hence for pretending to interfere in the
legislation of congress. The alliance
has been very generally denounced by.
republican leaders as an ally of democ-
racy. Mr.. Lodge elevated his nose
when the action of the alliance was
called to his attention, and declared
with much disdain that the farmers
were ignorant and did not know what
they were doing. and that their resolu-
tion would have no effect upon the
country.

ton both Mr.. B. H. Goddard and Mr.. Rams
ford Smith, minority of the retiring
board, we heartily approve of the policy
heretofore adopted by them, and Mr.. John
Watson, school trustees of the city, and
that we recommend to the new board the
adoption of policy which will eliminate
from the interests of religion all ques-
tions of politics and education" The reso-
luton was enthusiastically adopted and the
speeches made by William Driver, F.. STRAIT
ford, H. H. Rolapp and other gentlemen,
were soul-stirring and met with hearty re-
sponces from the meeting. The resolutions
adopted by the other wards breathed the
same spirit of fairness and devotion to edu-
cational interests.
