The death Of Senator Plumb gives
chance for another squabble among
the Republicans, as to who shall
step into his shoes About score
of aspirants have already bobbed up,
hoping that lightning will strike
them, and the Lord only knows how
many more are locking longingly
that way. 1t is limited that Gov.
Humphrey will resign his office, and
that the acknowledgement who
would then occupy tho gubernato-
rial chair) will appoint Humphrey
to rattle around in the dead senat-
or's shoes. Other aspirants are
Geo. r. Peck, attorney for the Santa
Fe railroad Geo. T. Anthony, the
worst anarchist in the state-not
excepting G. A. Henrie, tho Coffey-
vile dynamlter Billy buchan, one
of the rottenest political shysters
that ever went unhung; j. r. Bur-
ton, who, it is said, conducted a
bawdy-house near the state capitol,
for the benefit of his brethren in the
legislature. And there's a long
string of the same kind of cattle,
whose palms itch for the salary and
the "psrquisites" that go with a
senatorial Office. Senator Plumb
would certainly turn over in his
coffin, in agony and shame, should
any one of that dirty gang pollute
his seat in the senate with his foul
touch and presence.

T Col. I'll. M. GREENE has given up
the editorial control Of the Law
renee Record He says he proposes
to rest and write a novel, and that
some people with whom he is &C
ouainted will be Sin it," We shall
impatiently await the publication OF
that novel, for we know it will be
intensely interesting We are sor-
ry to see Col. Greene drop out OF
the editorial circle, for, although he
is Republican, his editorials had
the ring of true metal. He calls a
spade spade, and his sarcasm cuts
to the "quick." lie has no use for
the gang that is running the affairs
of state in Kansas, and the way he
"skins" the outfit is a caution to
evil-doers. We cannot help think
ing that, sooner or later, he will
give up all hope of reforming his
party, and will join the ranks of the
true reformers.

LAST Saturdays Topeka Capital

LAST Saturdays Topeka Capital
contained dirty and unwarranted
attack upon S. M. Scott, Alliance
state lecturer, charging him with
having beaten certain parties out OF
$50, and trying to mix Mr.. Scott
and State Printer Snow up in a
scheme to fleece somebody else.
Having mislaid the paper referred to,
we cannot give the exact words of
the Capital, but will have more to
say about it later. In converse
ton with Mr. Scott, yesterday, he
said the Capitals story was a lie
made out of whole cloth, and that
he courts investigation.

the report of the subcommittee APP
pointed to investigate the authority
the state Of Washington may exercise, and
the rights it may confer on the state Of
Oregon in regard to the construc-
ton of railways within the state
of Washington. This committee decided
that the state of Washington cannot con-
fer on the state of Oregon the right
to exercise within the former the
right Of eminent domain; that Wash
ington can pass no law for
opening highway within the state unless
the same extends into more than one
county, and that the term highway
includes railroads; that the state
Of Washington cannot appropriate
improvements beyond her Jurisdiction,
and that the state Of Washington
cannot become jointly associated with
the state of Oregon in the construction OF
railroad and cannot loan sr extend its
credit thereto. This settles the ques-
ton of taking joint legisla-
tive action for the relief of the
commerce Of Eastern Washington and
Oregon. The committee will report to the
respective legislatures Monday that moth.
ing can be done.
