PLAIN KANSAS PEOPLE
Thev Want no Low Necked and
Swallow Tailed balls.


ToPEKA, Kan, Dec. 9.-lt had been
proposed by the people here to have an
inaugural ball when Gov-elect Lewclling
was placed in Office, but the Governor
opposed it. and mass meeting of Popu-
lists called to decide upon the inaugural
ceremonies adopted these resolutions
last night:
Resolved, That the recent political vic
tory was won by the plain people oi
Kansas and was victory against man.
mon worship i'll all it's forms; was, in
| truth, but one battle in the irrepressible
conflict between the people and all that
greed which finds it's most Turing expo
nent in society, with its ostentatious dis
play of power to spend money for tritles,
while those who have earned it starve;
inaugural ceremonies carried on by the
fashionable society and under its ostcn-
tation of dress and expense would be ex-
ceedingly inappropriate and highly dis
tasteful to all friends of genuine social
and political reform and further
Resolved, That the plain people OF
Kansas, who elected the new State Off
GERS, cannot look but with anxiety upon
any indication that the officers have
submitted to the allurements of that
fashionable society, which represents all
the enemies of the common people, and
based upon wealth gained by monopoly
constitutes dangerous lobby about the
official it may secure in its meshcs; there
fore,
Resolved. That we are opposed to any
ball as part of the ceremonies OF inaug-
uration.

gers over that structure, by spending a
few months in jail.
Mclaughlin, after being given the reg
ular bridge jumpers treatment at the
Chambers street hospital, was removed
to the insane pavilion at Bellevue hos
pital last night, prisoner. He spent
the night there quietly sleeping some, and
being perfectly conscious in his waking
moments. DR., Douglass will make an
examination as to his sanity today but it
is not believed that ANYTHING worse than
an oversupply of strong drink allied him
when he made his fearful leap.
The only remark of any real signii
canoe that Mclaughlin made was wher
he was told that lie had $50 in his hanG
when rescued.
"My Cod he exclaimed, was that
all ?" and then relapsed into silence. The
statement made by Mclaughlin that his
wife was in the city at No. "a East 10th
street is false, as that address is a coaI
ward.

COTTON FACTORY STOCK
They Jump Upwards Along with
the Fleecy Staple.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 9-Thcre is a large
advance in cotton factory stocks in Au-
gusta. Some OF the securities have ad.
vanced as much as twenty dollars a
share in the last two weeks. The big
boom in cotton, which is now bringing
remarkably good prices, is attributed as
the cause of the advance of stock, be-
cause the high price value of the feecv
staple has ntcessitatcd an increase in the
price OF manufactured cotton goods
Augusta factory stock has jumped from
75l2 to 9l, and still going up. King
aud Sibley stocks are both up and very

CRESPO'S TRIUMPH.
The Government Of Venezuela 0YerthrOwn
by the ReVOlutiOniStS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE Navy De-
partment to-day received three dispatches
from Rear-Admiral Walker, commanding
the United States squadron in Venezuelan
waters. These dispatches officially confirm
the reported victory of the revolutionists
under Crespo, and the complete overthrow
OF the Government forces. The first dis
patch received was sent by Admiral Walker
on Wednesday, but was detained some
where 1t read: at is reported that en-
gagementS have taken place resulting in
the total defeat Of the Government and the
capture of the Venezuelan commander-in-
chief near Caracas. Revolutionists will
occupy Caracas on Thursday"
Soon afterward the following dispatch
dated yesterday was received: 1.-THE Presi-
dent and the Venezuelan Ministry have
abandoned Venezuela. Revolutionlsts are
successful"
The officials at the Navy Department de-
cline to state whether or not any instruc-
tlons have been forwarded to Admiral
Walker but it is said message was imme-
diateiy sent him 10 remain at La GuayTa,
and 10 order the Concord. now at Colon,
back to Venezuela, should he think the oc-
casl0n warranted her presence. No dis
patches have been received lately bv the
State Department from Venezuela. 1t is
probable that the next step will be the
formation of new Government with

The State Grange Calls Upon the officers
TO Sustain the Laws.

SAN JOSE. Oct. AT the session of the
State Grange to-day reports were made
upon resolutions, which recommended that
the Legislature vote an appropriation OF
$1,000 for the establishment of an expert
mental station for rance culture on the
grounds formerly occupied by the home for
fee minded children at Santa Clara. A
majority report was in favor Of the resolu-
tions, but a minority report opposed It on
the grounds that q fostered Industry Is
never thrifty one. that the land mentioned
is not adapted to rance culture, and that
similar enterprises have been undertaken
and have failed. The intention was that
| the executive committee have charge OF the
station. and after the industry became self.
sustaining all profits would be divided
| among the growers. Some of the delegates
were opposed to the project as being im-
| practicable, because all industries sustained
| by the State would be operated by it. The
| minority report as adopted.
The recommendation was then made that
| the State experimental station was the
| proper place for experiments In rance pro-
dUcton.
A resolution was passed which requests
the Legislature to increase the approprla-
tion nude for the State Board of Horti-
culture, in order that it may be able to dis
seminate q greater amount OF knowledge
concerning the markets for orchard rrod-
uets and all incidental information. If
done this would be of great material ad-
vantage to producers.
The following resolutions were discussed

New Voters in the State Whose Political
Preferences Are Unknown.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

BOISE, Idaho. Oct. IA special to the
Statesman from HALEY says that Judge
Stockslager of the Fourth District Court
has declared the Idaho test oath law uncon-
stitutional. The case was brought by a
Mormon. whom the Registrar of Cassia
County had refused to register because he
refused to subscribe to the test oath.
The Idaho constitution provides that no
person belonging 10 an organization that
teaches or encourages polygamy shall exer-
else the elective franchise. 1t also author
ICES the Legislature TO prescribe other quail
fcations necessary to make this provision
operative. Under this clause the Leglsla-
ture at its first session provided test oath,
one feature OF which is that the elector
must swear that he has not. since January
l, 1886. belonged to any organization which
teaches or has taught, encourages or has
encouraged polygamy. Since the Mormon
Church renounced polygamy many of its
members have been qualified TO subscribe
to the constitutional provisions, but they
cannot take the legislative test oath.
Judge Stockslager holds that the legisla-
tive enactment abri2ges right guaranteed
BY the constitution, that is, that it is retro
active, ex post factO and, therefore, void.
A similar case will be heard in the Su-
preme Court next week. Ii that body rules
as Stockslager has done, it will increase the
vote of the State $500. and introduce a new
element into the election, the political CON-
plexion of which cannot be accurately de-
