TOO MUCH LEGISLATION.

Anent the beginning of the season of
egislation, state and national, it is the
want of the press of the country, and has
been for several years past, to comment
upon tn. disposition of American law
making bodies to legislate too
much, and that disposition has already
manifested itself anew in the very first
days of the present congress. This
prompts the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat to make the timely suggestion that
the referendum" system of Switzer-
land be considered by our legislative
bodies, which system may become a
great one in time.
The United States is affected with a
multiplicity of laws. We have too
many already, and they are being
ness that is simply appalling. a session
of congress means some twenty thouS-
and laws proposed, and a thousand or
more passed; and we have, besides it,
forty-eight legislatures, meeting, some
of them, annually and grinding out
new acts as fast as they can. The
total number of acts passed by these
forty-nine legislative bodies VIII well
exceed 10000 year, and may occasion
ally run up to ii, 600 or Is, GOO. 1t is I'M
necessary to say that large proportion
of such legislation is bad, faulty and I'M
constitutional, 1t is passed one year to
be repealed the next or ruled out by the
courts.
Everybody admits this, but the great
question is how TO bell the cat. How
are we going TO get rid of this excess of
legislation: Switzerland has solved it by
the referendum. which requires that
all general laws affecting the whole peo-
pie must be submitted to the popular
vote. This greatly reduces their num-
Der, and renders 1t an easy matter to kill
off bad legislation. The result of it is
that very few laws have been proposed
there, and majority of those proposed
have been rejected. And it has been
shown thay the country Is affected fav-
orably 10y this system. The plan has
teen pursued 10 some extent III this
country by the submission to the popular
votes IF amendments TO the constitution.
and some good results have been oh
tanned thereby. but this Is not all that Is
desired; and the question how to restrict
unnecessary and injurious legislation Is
stlli problem for the American People

BY DIFFERENT ROUTES.

! The number of Americans who have
gone to their deaths in the year Just
| ended by other than natural channels
shows unusually large, if not indeed
somewhat startling proportions, as we
learn from statistics compiled by the
Chicago Tribune:
During the last twelve months no few
er than 116 persons have left life by the
rope route, and by the electric method,
making 123 legal executions IN all, This
number is greater by 81 than the number
of executions the previous year, and is
also greater than the number executed
during any year in the decade. The ex-
ecutees were supplied by the different
states as follows: Alabama 3, Arkansas

a Kansas woman is going to take Il
trip to London free of charge and there
be introduced to large audiences. Last
year when little Annie Abbott, the strong
woman, was exhibiting at Kansas City, a
woman by the name of Price from small
town In Kansas, went upon the stage and
duplicated all Abbott's tricks She said
she did not know what her power was, but
she knew she could exercise il. Since
Anna Abbott has been all the rage in Lon
don, making $1,000 a night, SO unprece-
denied was her good fortune that she
broke her contract with the London man
ager. Now the manager for revenge, and
having heard Of Mrs. Price, has sent for
her to come to London, where she will
divide the profits with the Abbott woman.
The papers have been tossing little
item about from post to piller to the effect
that Mrs. PETER assisted at the White
House New Years dav Mrs PETER is a
plain, home little body with a pound of
good sense and motherly reserve OF
course. she is nobody in the tinted and gilt
circles of Washington. She is too plain for
that. But Mrs. Harrison, who is sneered at
by the 400 of New York, frowned on by the
perfumed matroons of Baltimore and to-
tally forgotten as too vulgarly democratic
by the upper tendon of Phi iladelphia, and
even laughed at in secret in Washington =,
Mrs. Harrison, who is glared upon by east
ern society as an intruder, is said to have
taken Mrs. PETER under her wing. The
wife of the president is a western woman
herself and must have in the
honesty of her spirit, been at
tracted to a womanly little woman like
Mrs. PETER. Social circles in Washington
are tight drawn: Big dinners; big balls;
arms and necks; of astute noblemen in
medal decorations; and bellies, decolette,
where the marriage bower is often robbed
of half its charms to decorate an open box;
or yellow gaslights and velvetv WiltOns :;
there is no place among these for the wife
On an Alliance senator. And Mrs. Harr-
son, if, as it is reported, she has taken
liking TO a PLAIN little Kansas woman,
seems TO have appreciated that fact.

GOVERNOR SEAY.

From the Guthrie Capital.
Judge Seay will suit the people. His
appointment ushers in q final regime of
home rule. In this President Harrison
has shown rare good sense.
From tine Oklahoma Iimes-Journal.
Judge Seay is a western man and can
appreciate western methods. He is in
touch with the people of the territory
and has lived long enough among us to
know our needs and desires.
From the Emporia Republican.
The president has appointed Abram j.
Seay to be governor of Oklahoma, and
the people of that country fondly hope
that he will go down in history as Okla
homa's last territorial governor.
From the Lawrence journal.
Oklahoma has new governor, and
what is much more to the point he is an
Oklahoma man. Both sides of the ter
ritory united in petition to the presi-
dent to appoint resident of the terri
tory, and two names were presented to
him, Judge Seay of the west and Acting
Governor Martin of the east, and the
president was assured that the appoint
ment of either would be satisfactory to
the people. The appointment is good
one, and will give universal satisfac-
ton.
From the st. Louis Gobe-Democrat.
The appointment of Judge Seay as
governor of Oklahoma will be approved
by all who know the gentleman thus
honored. Judge Seay has been for many
years recognized leader of the Repub-
lican party in Missouri. He is man of
fine intellectual attachments and of I'm
eXceptionable private character.

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the Kansas
State Board of Agriculture will meet
January 14th at Topeka for three days,
with three sessions each day. Some
twenty or more papers will be read and
addresses made by prominent politicians

A rate of one ana one-third fare has
been secured over all the leading rail
roads in Kansas, applicable to all points
in the state, including Kansas City and
st. Joseph, Mo.
Those purchasing tickets for the meet
ing must get certificate from the agent

The agreement between the United
States commissioners and representa-
tives of the Cherokee nation on the strip
question having been ratified by the
council of that nation, all that remains
TO be done precedent to the formal declar-
alton from the president that the lands
are open for settlement will be the ratiii-
cation of the treaty by the senate and
the passage of an act by congress pro-
viding for the payment of the lands in
question. This last will, no doubt be
had without delay, inasmuch as the pay
ment will be made in United States
bonds and will not call for the imme-
date payment of the stipulated amount,
in cash. There seems now nothing in
the way of the opening of the strip at an
early dav.

1t is said that Senator Palmer and Con-
gresham Springer were violently op-
posed to the appointment of Morrison TO

pressed themselves. That was as good
a thing as Presi lent Harrison wanted

similar to the appointment Of the Judge

Congressman Culberson of Texas was
pressed by his political friends and as
sociates. Upon the presentation of his

asked the senator what was the matter

KANSAS LEADS IN CONGRESS.

Our Alliance members are getting in
! their work having introduced an armful
of bills for the purpose of revolutionizing
matters in general. Topeka's milkman
Otis has introduced measure providing
for three billion dollars to loan to
farmers at 2 per cent, which the
farmers, OF course, can reloan to the
town fellows for . per cent. while the
farmer takes a rest. Simpson is in with
a measure combining the land loan and
subtreasury scheme, and then another to
establish a department Of finance and
commerce on the Alliance plan. Clover
contents himself with an unique free
coinage measure. Davis bill provides
way for the government to confscate all
the railroad property of the country and
to run it in connection with the post
office department, or something like
that. Senator PETER, our dear old Don
Quixote, has introduced a bill to IN
crease the circulating medium a billion
dollars or so, to be based on bullion. To
say that the measures are paralyzing
congress would be putting it mild. 1t
is Kansas against the balance of the
country with the balance utterly unable
to catch on.
