The Supreme Court of Kapsas Declares
Their House of Representatives to Bo
the Legal One--Poprlists Inclined to
Give Up the Fight.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 27.-The contest
between the dual houses is over and
the republicans are victors. The SUI
preme court has decided that the re-
publican house is the legal body.
Three weeks ago Bender (rep.)
commenced contest for the seat
of Humphrey (pop.) from La
bette county. i. c. Gum was
subpenaed as witness for Bender
by the republican house elections
committee. He refused to give
testimony and was arrested on
warrant from the republican
speaker. Gum applied to the
supreme court for writ of habeas
corpus, claiming that the republican
speaker did not have authority to ar
rest and hold him because he was not
speaker of the legal house. This
brought the question of house legality
squarely before the court, which
on Saturday decided that the repub-
lican house is the legal body. The two
republican justices, Horton and John
ston, decided against the populists and
Justice Allen decided that the court
had no jurisdiction. Allen is popu.
list.
Immediately after the decision of the
supreme court sustaining the repub-
lican house as the legal body the pop
ulists went into caucus to de-
eide what course they were to
pursue. The meeting lasted into
the night and was addressed by
Clemens, Webb, Doster and other pop
ulist leaders. Clemens and Webb were
for disregarding the mandate of the
court and maintaining the populist
house organization by force il
necessary, but Doster spoke in q
more temperate vein and ad'
vised acquiescence in the decision.
The meeting finally appointed O
committee of three members OF
the house to call on Gov. Lewelling and
ascertain his views, the committee tc
report at 9 o'clock this morning. Nc
matter what the house as body de-
cides to do it is settled that number
of the members will take their seats il
the republican house to-day.
The present session of the legisla
ture ends March s, when it is expected
that the governor will call an extra
session. The pay of members for al
extra session is limited to 500, which
limits the session to thirty days. Thi.
is more than enough time for the leg.
islature to pass needed laws.

who has been for several days at Lake.
wood, N. j., and during that time has
had conferences with President-elect
Cleveland, writes his paper as follows:
"Grover Cleveland's inaugural address as
president OF the United States for four years
from March 4 next will contain about 700
words and be more general than specific in
character. Mr. Cleveland has carefully written
out what he desires to say, but will speak at
the Inauguration without manuscript, only
referring TO topical notes to refresh
his memory. The address will ex.
press Mr.. Cleveland's profound gratitude
70 the people for the honor thus second time
conferred upon him as q mark OF conf dence
in him and their belief in the principles upon
which he was elected His utterapces upon the
financial policy, tariff and economy OF admins
tration will be decisive and frank. Confidence
in democratic principles able to deal with
the problems OF labor and capital, sectional
divisions, and political unrest will be ex-
pressed. The abolition OF federal interfere noe
with elections in the states will, II is said, be
treated as recognized decision OF the people.
The pension department, the new navy, a rig
orous quarantine and the regulation OF i'm mi
grafton will probably receive attention. The
president may not refer openly TO the question
of the annexation of Hawaii, but will take
conservative stand on the subject and not 20
hastily"

THURSTON GIVES UP.

The Hawaiian Commissioner Abandons
Hope of Ratification of the Annexation
Treaty Until the New Administration
Takes Hold.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-The chances
of anneXing Hawaii during the present
session of congress are at an end.
This can be announced on the
authority of Commissioner Thurston,
who is at the head Of the Hawaiian
delegation. Mr.. Thurston was seen
by correspondent with view to as
certaining what steps would be taken
during the coming week to push the
treaty to confirmation.
For the first time Mr.. Thurston ad-
mitted that all hope of confirming the
treaty had been abandoned. Said he:
mo further steps will be taken until Presi
dent Cleveland's administration has begun. 1t
will be useless to push the subject further dur.
ing the present administration, the effort
would have fallen short OF securing n contrma-
tion Of the treaty, and 1t might have in
creased certain antagonismS There is reason
to believe that some of the opposition is due to
n feeling that q subject of this magnitude ought
not TO be undertaken by an administration on
the eve of its retirement. This opposition is
not against the treaty itself. For that reason
II is best to let the matter rest until after Mr.
Cleveland's administration begins as II will
dissolve the opposition"
Commissioner Castle was with Mr..
Thurston at the time the foregoing
statement was made, and fully coin
cided with it. They made it clear,
also, that they were not express
ing mere opinion as to what
would be done, but were speak
ing from positive information as to
programme fully agreed upon. Un-
| der the new arrangement the entire
subject goes over to President Cleve-
land and his secretary of state. 1t is
probable that the treaty will lie
withdrawn and the subject presented to
congress anew by Secretary Gresham,
| as the senate would no longer be
subject to the recommendations of a
| president who is out of Office. This
course would be pursued even though
the views of Mr.. Cleveland and Judge
Gresham We're known to be the same
as those expressed in the communica-
tions already laid before the senate.
The treaty itself will probably be re-
executed, in order to give it the ad-
ditional prestige of an act wholly per-
formed by Mr.. Cleveland's administra-

THEY YIELD.
Kansas Populists Decide to Give Up Their
House Organization.


House Organization.
TOPEKA, Kan. Feb. 2S.-After heat
ed caucus discussion lasting from $50
Monday morning until o'clock p. m.
the populist members of the leg
islature decided to go into the
republican house, which the SUI
preme court had declared to
be the legal body. The governor
visited the members of the caucus and
pledged himself to abide by the caucus
decision. The populists will enter rep
resentative hall in body this morning
and qualify. The only legislation that
will now be attempted during the few
days of the session remaining will be
the passing of appropriation bills, thus
preventing an extra session. The ap-
peal against the decision of the SUI
preme court will be made at the gen.
eral election two years hence. In go
ing into the house the populists have
asked no concessions and the republic
ans have granted none.
There is talk among republican mem
bers of the legislature of filing articles
of impeachment against Gov. Level
ling. This movement did not assume
definite shape until Monday afternoon.
Should the house prefer the charges it
is not contemplated that the senate
would convict. The governor will be
charged with high crimes and misde-
meanors in Office by the usurpation of
powers that belonged to the peace of
ficers of the county and with the un-
lawful use of troops.

Indian Corn.

1t is n quite common saving that corn is
king. and SO far as the cereals are con.
cerned no exception eau be taken to this
appeliation. In this country it stands "a,
the head of all the grains for fattening ami
mails and enters largely into the diet of thu
human family. Strangely enough as i;
seems to us, for this latter purpose it is a,
vet held in small estimation in Europe. and
even crop failures TO the point of destitutior
of their Ordinary food supply over larg.
districts seem insufficient to make it pop.
ular article of food as it is in this country
Our soil and climate are so well adapted
TO the growth of this grain that our ablii,
to produce ii in vast quantities seems onl,
limited by the demand for its use both Al
home and abroad. While considerable ha.
been said about the excellence of poIl
where other substances have entered l1rg,.-
iy into the fattening process, il is nevertli.-
less true that no one of them. nor indeed
the whole combined. can he used as sub.
stitutc for Indian corn in the production O
pork on large aud profitable scale. as it is
carried on in the principal corn CROWN
states.
In this connection the efforts of the gov,

corn for human food cannot he other thu,
interesting. So long as Indian corn wa-
used in Europe exclusively as cattle feed
its export from this country depended en-
tirelv upon the abundance of the crop an.
a price which made it cheap for that pur-
pose only. Whenever from any cause thi.
price became high, corn exports practically
ceased
If We succeed in popularizing it as AZ,
