xaE KANSAS REVOLUTION ENDED.

THE Populist 'mob" legislature have at
lsst concluded to submit to the decision OF
We state courts, which have decided that
t!.e Republican house 10 the legal body.
She Populists elected the governor and .
u.ajority of the senate last November.
.vhcn the legislature assembled certif-
Gates OF election to the house were held by
~ Republicans. 81 Populists. 3 Democrats
end 1 Independent Republican.
!: The majority of the legally elected men,
sers of the house organised in due form BY
.:he election Of Republican speaker. Not
4aly was there in tho body thus organized
/ clear majority Of all members having
certificates of election. but the Democratic
taembers also recognized tho Republican
souse as the only legal organization and
kcted as members Of it. The minority of
:s'opulists. never having quorum of the
members holding certificates or legally
elected. pretended to organize as q sepa-
rate body by the election of speaker. In
isrder to make mp quorum this illegally
constituted body proceeded to declare cor
Rain Populists duly elected in place Of
Republicans who held regular certificates
:and were sitting a. members Of the lawful
:house.
The governor recognized this unlawfully
constituted body Is the only lawful house.
The "mob" legislature during all its pre-.
.tendcd session since January never VEN
etured to pass any bill which could be
made the basis of civil proceedings until
the middle of this month, when they pre-
tended to pass bill appropriating money
for salaries. On the 18th ins:. Judge Z. T..
Hazen, Of the district court, sustained the
iaotion OF the Republican house for .
:: permanent injunction restraining the
=, state treasurer from paying any warrants
J issued by authority Of the legislative ap-

:. house. The supreme court of Kansas
! have since confirmed this decision, and
the Kansas revolutionary proceedings are
!. virtually extinguished by the courts.

: state TO tho verge of civil war rests on tho
: governor, who recognized the mob" leg

:; refer the controversy to the courts. The
I; governor is a law breaker and an anarch-
: ist by intent. and is unworthy Of his high
: station. Had the governor been q law
u: abiding citizen Kansas might have been
saved all this disgrace. The courts would
: have settled the title Of the legislature the
first week in January had they been per-
mi,ted 20 do SO, but the governor lent
, himself to the perpetration Of revolu-
sionary proceedings and disgraced his
station and his state.

The Colored Encampment.

General Mabry is expecting the
same trouble with the colored en-.
campment as he met with in the gath
ering of the white troops, viz: The
lack of free railroad transportation
and the shortage of his appropriation.
He stated to a STATESMAN reporter
yesterday that the railroads of the
state would charge at the rate OF 4c
per mile for transportation, at which
rate it would cost about $1,000 to get
the troops to and from their homes.
He further said unless the railroads
made much lower rate, when he
called the encampment it would be
with the understanding that the
troops paid their own fare; that he
did not think Austin cared particu-
larly for the camp to be held here, and
as the troops were extremely anxious
for it to be held in San Antonio he
thought it probable that he would
grant their wish, they having agreed
to pay the freight on the tents, ETC.,
from Austin to San Antonio and re.
turn. If the camp is held it will be
about the 25th inst, and the order
will be issued In few days.

ness, and the express, with that cour-
tesy which hath ever been its distin-
gushing characteristic, declines to crit.
icize. 1t is not of his excellency's
Houston "bust" that we here speak.
1t is of the one that now adorns the
Texas building at the Worlds Fair.
Many people have mourned that the
largest state in the onion should have
no exhibit at the great exposition to
attract the worlds attention to her
wonderful resources. Even The Ex-
press, the sunny optimist of Southern
journalism, has lamented somewhat,
not ostentatiously, but sincerely.
Ever and anon as it would think of
Texas lonesOmeness in the exhibit
line a pearly tear would come Oozing
up and fall with pathetic PUNK up
on its fulfilled shirt front and lie glis-
tening there like dewdrop in the
sensuous heart of rose. And now we
learn that all these long months of
blighting agony has been needless;
that Texas has an exhibit second to
none where all are excellent. There
are no specimens Of her cereals or her
fibres, nothing from her forests and
her mines-not even bottle of life
giving ozone from San Atomic, the
natural sanitarium of the world.
There's no gigantic corn or snowy cot
ton bale with cloth of silver and hoops
of gold; but there's bust of Governor
Jim Hogg, ljfe.size, and what more
would you?
To add to such an exhibit were like
painting the lily or garnishing a
striped watermelon's great red heart
with schooner of keg beer. If there
were other Texas products the en-"
tranced visitors would not see them.
People of all lands and chimes, the
crowned heads and the ragged hoi
polloi, push and crowd to get
glimpse of that glorious bust of Texas
governor. Standing before it with
uncovered craniums they whisper
with bated breath, "That's Jim; that's
Jim Hogg, governor of Texas" Then
they tiptoe out of the awful presence
and for days and weeks dream of the
country that produces Hoggs. We do
not know whether the bust is before
or after taking protrait of his great
ness, with flowing whiskers as in the
olden time, or with billy goat beard
as in the glorious now. We only
know that Jim Hogg's bust is in the
Texas building and that the eager
eye OF the great, glad world is glued
to it with an awe-struck stare and

Denver Banks to Reopen.

DENVER, Aug. 1.-THE bank ex-

for the comptroller Of the treasury of
all banks except the German National,
and they are at work at that bank to-.
day. About Sl,5O0,000 deposits have
been signed for under agreement. The
effect of obtaining enough signatures
will be to put into circulation nearly
$4,000, 900, now locked in banks. The
certificates, when issued, will be readi.
ly negotiable and practically the same
as money, as they will draw per cent
interest. The examiners express the
opinion that the six banks will De
