Turbulent Scenes at the Closing Session
of the House.
KANSAS CITY, March 11.-[Special]-
Special from Topeka, Kan, says tho
assembly chamber was the scene of
great excitement last evening during
the final session of the house.
The report of the committe that in
vestigated the metropolitan police sys-
tenn created for the purpose of enforc-
ing the prohibition law stated that the
law had been failure SO far as it ap-
piled to the cities of Kansas and recon
mended that the Governor withdraw
the State police from such cities. Tho
report was amended making the with
drawal of the police discretionary with
the Governor ana then adopted.
The question arose on the adoption of
the report of the committee investigat-
ing the conduct of the State House com
missioners. Several Republicans de-
nounced the committee and the Farm
ers' Alliance in bitter terms. Rice Gre
publican) rose to speak, when Elder do
manded tho previous question. Rice
, protested against this action and termed
it 'damnable disgrace" Speaker
Elder became exceeding angry, and
said that tho Farmers Alliance was
running the house and Republicans
must submit, whether right or wrong.
Then the excitement began. The gal
leries Missed, the Farmers Alliance
men cheered and the Republicans
groaned. Speaker Elder demanded
that the Hobbies and galleries be
cleared. The Kissing, shouting and
grooming continued, and the chair being
unable to restore order, said he would
give up the chamber to the voice of the
mob.
The sergeant-at-arms and doorl1eepers
attempted to clear the Hobbies, and
several lively encounters took place.
Several senators who were witnesses to
to the proceedings were unceremoni-
ously hustled out of the chamber A
general riot became imminent, but
finally Speaker Elder resumed the chair,
quiet being restored

COOPERATION TIE CURE.

The news that the Kansas alliance
Will forego politics to engage in a
system of cooperation for its mutual
benefit VIII be received with satisfac-
ton by those who honestly seek to
better the condition of the farmer. If
it shall be possible for the farmers to
adopt plan whereby they will escape
the determinations OF the commercial
agencies it will prove godsend, the
which political interference will never
secure to them. The remedy for the
farmers ills is not IN political power.
All the evils which grind and oppress
them do lot flow from legislation. The
source is elsewhere. It's IN the farmer
himself. He has bowed before the rail-
ways and the spectators both of which
have robbed him, while he has stood in
innocent anticipation Of fair treatment.
The one saddle, upon him taxation IN
the form of interest bearing bonds
issued in aid of construction and then
turns around and discriminates against
him in the transportation OF his
products. The other stands at his
gates ready to manipulate the price OF
his gram, fruit and vegetable for his
own profit. The pulse of the market
is held in his grasp and it beats either
fas. or slow IN response to his own sell
FISH Vaccinations. The farmer needs to
throttle the one and discard the other.
He can do this best in the line of COM
mercial exchange. Legislation may re-
strain the exactions of the one and cur
tail the evil power OF the other, but
legislation cannot extermiSate either.
II the farmers shall cooperate. unity,
and stand together in protecting them
selves, the political end of the alliance
will have little influence in shaping the
avenues TO relief. The Justification for
cooperation Is in the tendency towards
monopoly. The monopoly Of the rail
roads and the spectators. Monopoly
j. impossible in cooperation. The weak
ness of this scheme u in the immense
power intrusted To- the managers aud
the difficulty of providing safeguards
against incompetency or dishonesty.
The damage that can be done by
manager VINO IL either negligent or
dishonest may to so great as 10 prove
toe rock on which the project will ul,i-
nssely % 10 wreck. But II should have
a fair trial.

"The Charity Bail" drew an excellent
attendance at Powers last evening.
This play so sweet for its pure dramatic
coloring, so consistent and plausible in
motive and SO humane in Its characters

pulse of humanity as 1T exists IN the
refined circles of these times. The story
told IN 1.-The Charity Ball" IS doubtless
acted DER III many communities every
day. Such II play, which truly holds
the mirror up to nature, and "The
Charity Bail cannot be played too often

bility must feel good for having seen II.
1t reaches to the heart and awakens the
gentler nature IN man and woman, and
its impression on the young is as valu-
able AS the ioftiest moral preCept. The

son. Boyd Putnam still plays the Rev.
John Van Buren,, and constant repe-
tition has made his personation more
reposed and dignified. 1t could not be
bettered. Edythe Chapman was soul
full and delightful Ann Cruger. The
cast would indeed be hard to improve
on.

PoRTENTlous POLITICAL PLoTTIN


There is certain namcless law,
which some call fate that brings great
men togeather in an unaccountable
manner at most opportune moments.
Great projects which had no previous
existence even IN embryo, sometimes
spring from these meetings and the re-
suits are momentous IN the affairs Of
state.
In the deepest recesses of the super
ior court room pair OF Statesmen as
sembled yesterday afternoon. One of
them was the Hon. At. s. White, the
other was his Grace, the Duke of Kent.
Thar conversation was conducted IN
low whispers and punctuated knowing
mods. The doorway darkened and \
vest front of dome-like rotundity en-
tered. 1t was followed shortly after by
a crop of luxurious whiskers and Sup
ervlsor Simon Sullivan. At his back
came In solemn procession the demo-
cratic contingent OF the board OF super
visors and Maurice Shanahan. Their e
was a general consultation all in whis-
pers, the only audible portion of which
was to the effect that something
wouldn't do" They eyed every cor
ner of the room suspiciously and then
gathered in Clerk Fyfe's private office.
"This won't do at all, said one of the
group, "there's one of them dog gone
reporters out there swoopin' around
and he'll get onto u.s." They eyed the
reporter with appealing eyes, but he
did not seem to catch on. The super
Tor court room was then invaded and
the doors closed and guarded, but so
momentous was the great purpose OF
the meeting that even this place would
not do. Deputy Sheriff Murphy was
consulted and the party was ushered
into the jury room, where their awful
council was conducted with closed and
guarded doors. Whether the purpose
of the meeting was to devise some plan
by which Uutchins, the peoples party
candidate, could be sidetracked IN or
der to let the Lawrence train have full
right of way, or some other deep LAID
plot was hatched III this secret meeting
will not be known for several days, but
the crowd came out after an hours ses-
sIon, smiling like a man who has been
asked to take something. The develop
ment will be watched with considerable
interest.
