had been the subject Of discussion in
nearly every county for the past four
years, and there was no excuse for MEM
bers not being poSted on it.
Mr.. Greenlee said he thought such a
law would prevent the Populists from
carrying his (the seventh) district, to
which Lobdell agreed, and the Populist
members with one accord said they were
quite willing to chance it.
Hoch's motion lost by vote OF 60 to
81 The bill did not pass, however, un.
til several attempts had been made to
kill it with amendments. On this, as
we'll as on the mortgage redemption bill,
the republicans were simply outgener-
sled. One plan Of the Populists was to
get weak republicans to vote for inn
portant reform measures by agreeing to
vote on other pet bills Of minor impor-
tRnce.
Saturday night, while the house was
waiting for appropriation bills to come
from committees and the senate, a gen.
eral hurrah was INDUCED in, and some Of
the most sedatG members took part in
the hilarity. The man whose head did
not come in contact with paper ball, q
book, or an ink bottle, or who could 90
through the aisles without being tripped
up, was in luck. Even the speaker was
not exempt from assault. Somehow or
other the hands of the clock made slow
progress, and when they marked the
time as 11:45, the members and visitors
could see by their watches that it was
nearly 2 o'clock.
The few members who remained over
Sunday did 80 by agreement to act upon
messages from the governor and from
the other house.

THE SENATE.

The senate was made sick by the
trifing Of the house, 80 sick il suddenly
adjourned once or twice and threatened
to suspend operations indefinitely. Con-
ference committees were appointed on
bill after bill, the house even refusing in
some cases to stand by it's own confer
ence committees.
The great struggles have been over the
railroad bill and the legislative Rppro-
priation bill The house has refused to
pass any railroad legislation that meant
business, and in consequence the people
must suffer the present extortion for two
years more. The appropriation bill was
for time in doubt, the struggle being
over paying the employees Of the house
which 30 respected the courts that even
when they exceeded their powers they
gave up life itself and let the bastard or
ganization take it's place Yet for the
sake OF maintaining the state institu-
tions the senate has yielded to this
Douglass house again and again, giving
up its own superior bills for inferior
house bills just because the house would
sacrifice the public good 10 got the glory
Of having the bills become law.
As the session drew near its close the

the contract to the contrary notwith-
standing" It will take effect at once.
Other important bills passed both
houses are for a miners screen law,
weekly payment Of wages, anti -Pinker-
ton law, to prevent bribery at elections,
t0provide for railroad scales throughout
the state, and to compel insurance COM
panies to pay the face Of policies. All
these will become laws, besides the nu-
merous local measures, appropriation
bills and those Of minor importance. 1t
cannot be said that the Legislature was
idle the last ten days, but it is true that
much more would have been accom-
plished had not the supreme court inter
tered with the Dunsmore house.
Among the important bills which
failed were those providing for maxi
mum railroad rates, free and uniform
school text books, and one relating to
alien ownership Of land. The house OBJ
jected to the senate railroad bill, which
was practically the one that passed the
Populigt house, and the senate could see
no good in Greenlee's house railroad
bill. AS late as Saturday night before
the adjournment, conference committees
were considering these bills, but finally
disagreed.
A very large number Of bills which
were important to the localities for which
they were intended never saw the light
Of day.
A great deal Of contention grew out of
the legislative appropriation bill. The
senate insisted on a provision for the
payment Of the officers and employees Of
the Dunsmore house, while the republi-
cans Of the house opposed it, The bill
went back and forth between house, SEN
ate and conference committees untilSat-
urday night or rather Sunday morning,
when the republicans agreed to the pay
ment Of all the Populists except Chief
Clerk Rich, and with this much Of con-
ceesion on the part CT Rich's friends the
bill was passed.

THE HOUSE.

Early last week the house passed q
concurrent resolution to adjourn Friday
night. The time was afterward extended
to Saturday night, then to Monday, and
then to Tuesday. More than the usual
amount Of buncombe speeches were to be
unloaded by the republicans, and then
they had bills which they had promised
somebody to pass, and which they had
put of till the last for fear the bills
might not pass the other house. Local
bills were sent through by the hopperful
and still many Of them were left out in
the cold. Saddest Of ell was the death
Of numerous county salary bills
Mr.. Hoch's motion to postpone con-
ideration OF the Australian ballot bill
until an extra session brought on fierce
discussion. He.ssid the members we're
mot sufficiently well poatsd TO act intoIli-
gently on II Mr.. Green said this law
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-15

work became more and more confined to
conference committees between the two
houses, and in these committees the con-
tests were severe. The railroad bill
failed utterly. The second conference
committee requested by the senate found
no disposition on the part Of the house
to do anything but make political
capital.
The appellate court bill was house
plan for an enormously expensive sys.
tenn Of six courts with expenses equal 70
tho supreme court. The senate confer
ence committee could get no modiica-
ton Of the republican house scheme and
consequently rejected the whole bust
ness.
After much conference a legislative
appropriation bill was agreed on, and
everybody looked happier after the state
treasurer had divided up"
The senate bills to prohibit lotteries
and gambling were killed by the repub-
lican house, which don't look as If the
Capitals $4,000 Of Doodle had been used
on the governor but on the republicans
Of the house and senate who defeated
and fought the bill.
Among the weeks appropriations were
$65,000 for the worlds fair, $4,000 for
the state university, $4,000 for the state
normal and 100000 for the state univer-
sity for building purposes in addition to
the usual appropriations for this pur-
pose. No legislature has dealt more
literally than this with the educational
institutions; and yet the total sppropria-
tions are less than heretofore, thanks to
the faithful oh-dog of the treasury,
Senator Rodgers, chairman Of the senate
ways and means committee. The Doug
lass house refused to make any appro-
pristions for the executive department
unless the senate would appropriate
81, 400 for grub furnished the representa-
tives by the Copeland hotel, and IS to
pay for the spoons stolen from the Dut-
ton house lunchbssket by the represent
ativss (H) Of the people, and $500 for
Mrs. Wilson, after her claim had been
demonstrated to be bogus and rejected
by the senate almost unanimously, aud
other steals of like character. The sem
ate had to accede to these and other
robberies Of the state or call an extra
session with it's expense. No such
schemes originated in the senate.
Senator Leedy, speaking to a question
of personal privilege, fred q shot clear
through the supreme court. He pre-
sented summary Of the cases in which
the Santa Fe and other railroads had
been in the supreme court. These cases
are covered by the 3lst, 32d, SD, 34th,
35th, 36th, 37th, s8th, 39th, 4Oth, 41st
and AID supreme, court reports. The
Santa Fe had during this time ia cases
before the court, and seventy-fve had
been decided in favor Of the company.

THE LEGIsLATURE.

What was left Of the Kansas legisla-
ture adjourned on Tuesday Of this week;
and while there may have been ques-
ton in some minds as to the Rdvissbility
Of the members remaining in session so
long it now appears that most Of the
good legislation was accomplished dur
ing the last two weeks of the session.
And while it is fact that both political
sides Of each branch have laid them
selves open to criticism it cannot be de-
MED that ell the best measures that
were passed originated with the POpu-
lists, and that the republicans havemade
pitiful effort trying to steal Populist
thunder and get away with it.
At last Kansas has reform ballot law
on the Australian plan. The senate sub
Stitute bill which was passed last week
is similar in its intents and purposes to
the one adopted by the house Of two
years ago and was throttled by the
senate. It's object is to guarantee So
crecy to the voter, to avoid bribery and
intimidation and to provide for distribu-
tion of ballots at public expense.
The mortgage redemption act is to
regulate the sale Of real estate under
execution, order Of sale or other judicial
process, and providing for the redemp-
tion Of such real estate from sale. The
bill as recommended by the republican
house committee contained o clause
which permitted the waving Of rsdemp-
tion. This was taken out and several
other important changes made by the
Populists in conference committee. It
provides that the owner Of land shall
have twelve months after sale in which
to redeem his land, provided the land is
occupied. II not occupied, six months.
After the twelve months other creditors
than the plaintiff who foreclosed shall
have three months more in which to file
their claims, and then the owner may
have three months more in which to re-
deem and recover title by paying these
claims (if they are valid) in addition to
the amount for which the property sold,
and costs. After this, according to the
provisions of the act, the property will
be clear regardless Of any other claims.
This was the best the Populists could do
with the conference committee on this
measure, and it was by smooth piece
Of work on the part of the Populists in
the house catching the obstructionists
off their guard that it get through that
body at all.
Mr.. Green's ''mode Of payment" bill is
short but to the point. 1t provides "thst
from and after the passage Of this act all
obligations of debt, judgments or execu-
tions, stated in terms Of dollars, and to
be paid in money, ii not dlschargable In |
United States legal tender notes, shall |
be payable in either the standard silver |
or gold coins authorized by the cunRreeg
