II the editor Of the Capital was in
the habit Of answering civil questions
that are aaked him, someof those now
being asked by bis old party asSOCi-
ates would be very embarrassing. For
instance Mr.. Easley, Of the HutChin-
son NetOs, asks what planks of the
Republican platform Of 1880 were in-
serted as an expression Of the primer
pies OF the party, and what for bun

feature OK this case is chat Mr.. Eas-
ley insists chat Hudson, who was

Hudson, of course will not do this,

embarrassing and not calculated TO

the cid Republican atalwarts. Mr..

lican action vindicated" "tho record
OF the last Legislature truthfully re-
viewed" !" and all this under the sign
manual OF "William j. BuchaD, chair
man Senate ways and means commit
tee." IL would do no harm for Sena-
tor BuChan to have a realizing sense
OF his inability to pose before the sol
id yeomanry OF Kansas as a legisla-
tor making haste 10 save the peoples
money, in view Of the fact chat he for
80 long a time has been on the ways
and means committee and most will
ingly allowed a monstrous claim
smuggled through the closing hours
after Legislation had ceased--to
which reference is made in the fol-
lowing brief expose.
Under a resolution offered by Hon.
Charles A. Kimball, occupying the
seat Of a Senator from Labette cOun-
ty in the Kansas Legislature Of 1883, |
known as "No. o." which was adopt |
ed in the closing Of that session; to
cover the expenses growing out of the
same, item eighty-seven in the mis-
cellaneous appropriation bill OF that
session, approved March A, 1889, be-
came a part Of said bill, which reads
az follows:
TO pay the per diem and mileage Of Senate /
committee 10 revise and COdliy laws governing /
and defining tho powers and duties OF the sev- /
eTal departments Of the state government ap.
pointed under Senate resolution No. Oi, and 70 /
pay clerk hire for the committee, fifteen hun
dred dollars.
When il is remembered that this
appropriation OF Sl,5OO is but q per
cent Of the amount really taken out
Of the state treasury by this Senate
revision committee OF five, the in
quiry quite naturally arises, in what
class Of public peculatiOn would such
an absorption Of public funds be re-
ally assigned7
Here is q self constituted revision
committee formed who limit the val
ne OF their service expressly by stat
ute, in this case definitely made and
provided, and then in addition to
what they had allowed themselves
they made q demand with the boldsst
eifrOntery Of nearly $4,000. Gan any
one tell whore the precedent exists
for such a kind Of Legislative steal,
approved and sanctioned by this
notorious saver, VIM. J. BuchanH

The Senate record on this matter,
in the journal Of January 30, is as

ItWillbenoticed thatthe agitationon
this matter had probably caused sever
al Senators to take the second sober
thought even on this reduced steal,
so that it finally had but one more
than a constitutional majority to pass

benefciaries Messrs. Hardness, Kel-
ly of Crawford, Kimball, Moody and
MurdOCk, necessarily being present
TO vote for this bill, in which they
had direct immediate, personal in

The House thereupon promptly re-
ceived the following message from
the Senate:

10 inform the House that the Senate has passed
Senate bill No. l54, making Legislative apprOpria
tions, az amended by conference committee
Said bill and the report Of the conference there
on are transmitted herewith

When the House took up this Sem

Thus at the ending of January che
members Of the Legislature and it's
employees were enabled to obtain a
part of their pay for their services

due to this worse than "sslary-grab-

HOUSE..

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The Democratic
section of the house this morning was
early filed with members, upon whose
faces there was look of anxious expect
ancy and curiosity. little groups were
gathered here and there discussing the
probabilities and possibilities of committee
composition. Although a great deal of
credence was placed in the predictions
heretofore made by the press, there WAS a
general feeling of uncertainty, which
could be dispelled only by the official an
nouncement of the speaker. That gentle
man was late in arriving at the capitol,
being evidently desirous of escaping from
the pressure for favorable assignments,
which might be brought to bear upon him
even il the eleventh hour.
Precisely at noon the speaker called the
wearied by the arduous task which he had
just completed. In his prayer the chap
lain eloquently referred to the death of
Senator Plumb of Kansas
The speaker then announced the ap-
pointment of the various committees of
the house authorized under the rule
agreed to Saturday last. The reading of
the assignments was listened to attentive
ly, but without any manifestations OF ap-
proval or disapproval.
Mr.. Rusk of Maryland offered resolu-
ton directing the committee on accounts
to designate the committees to which
clerks should be allowed.
Mr.. MeridIth of Virginia announced the
death of his predecessor, w. II. +. Lee,
and as a mark of respect, the house ad
