Republican House Attempt to Get

Republican House Attempt to Get
Into Court
The republican house of representatives at
Topeka was in session and the other branch
was not: but there were numbers of popu-
list members on their side of the hall.
Speaker pro tenn Hoch offered a resolution
detailing the fact that Ben Rich had persist
emily and continuously interrupted the pro-
ceedings of the house by loud language, pre-
tended roll calls. etc. and directing Speaker
Douglass to order the arrest of Rich for con-
tempt of the house.
This action was taken for the purpose of
getting hearing IN court; not for the pur.
pose OF Furnishing Rich.
Three assistant sergeants- alarms went out
to lind Rich, and found him with his wife in
their room et the Dutton house. They stated
their errand and then accepted an invit alton
by Mrs. Rich to go down with them to din
ner. This they did; but by the tims dinner
was over and the party came out of the din
ing room, the hotel and surrounding space
was filled with popuis.s, assembled to rescue
their chief clerk. The three officers and Mr..
and Mrs. Rich started for the state house,
but were separated several times on the way,
BY the mob. under the lead of Breidenthal.
Yet. it seemed that Rich and his wife would
again speedily get in company with the OIL
GERS. This running. pushing. noisy process
continued until the party were several blocks
up the avenue when, in repetition of the
separating scramble. Officer ClOgston and
Representative Ryan had a scuffle and Clog
ston was Knocked down.
Meantime Rich. and party, went to the
state house. where Rich soon called the roll
of his house as though nothing mad hap
pene1.
And so the farce goes on.

Besieged and Hungry.

During the siege at the Kansas state house
there was great difficulty in getting provi-
sions to the hungry people inside. The pro-
visions went up the side of the state house
in baskets and were received through the
windows with cheers by the republicans. In
the morning the military guards were placed
around the state house square and no one
with baskets of provisions was allowed to
pass the lines even with pass from the gov
ernor. The republicans did not allow this
to stop them, however, and about o'clock
two sturdy carriers of the Topeka postal ser
vice. with their mail sacks over their should
ers and carrying baskets with few news
papers on top and sandwiches underneath in
one hand and a steaming boiler OF coffee IN
the other, marched through the lines, bound
for representative hall.
United States Marshal Dick Walker and
United States District Attorney j. w. Ady
stood near by watching the proceedings to
see that Uncle Sans mail and sandwich
service was not blockaded oy the soldiers.

Discussion Which Interests Kansas

Discussion Which Interests Kansas.
WASHINGTON. d. G., February 22-The
question whether the governors of the states
which have chosen no senators within tho
time allowed by law can proceed to fill the
vacancies, if they exist, after March 4, has
been informally discussed by a number Of
the members of the senate committee on
elections, and their opinion is that the gov
errors have the power.
The question has not been considered fully,
but the senators who have expressed their
opinion say that a ruling ought TO be made
in the case, which would not deprive a state
of its equal representation N the senate.
The vacancy will not really exist until
March, and the governor canno. we'll appoint
until the vacancy occurs, but 1t is believed
that he can then designate senator to act
until choice Is made ut some subsequent
ting of the legislature.
This will enable the republican governors
of Washington and Montana to appoint re-
publican senators. while the democratic
governor of Wyoming will be able to desig-
nate democratic senator 1t will not
change materially the complexion of the
senate to have the senators named by the
governor, and they Will not be present when
the senate meets in March TO take part in
the organization.
There is reported to be a growing feeling
among the democratic senators thtt IL is not
worth while to attempt the organization of
the senate at the present session. The vice
president will preside and it will not be of
importance whether pre'ideut pro TEN Is
chosen unless the democratic senators desire
TO keep Judge Gresham one degree further
from the presidential succession.
The democrats have now chosen forty
three senator's including Judge Martin of
Kansas. without counting any of the popu-
lists. If four vacancies exist On March 4,
the senate will stand: Democrats, 43; popu-
lists, 4; republicans, 81.
The republicans cannot by any combine
ton of circumstances obtain the majority in
the senate. even if Stewart and PETER act
with them.
One more democratic senator will give
that party complete control of the senate,
even when it IS full. and the forty-three SEN
ators already chosen make clear majority
of two if four seats are vacant.
The democratic leaders may decide to 60
ahead with the work of recognizing the
committees and choosing new officers, but
SOM of them are disposed to wait until De-
ceInber. They will then know their exact
strength, the senate will he full and there
will be no trouble in adjusting committee
places for the new senators who afterward
come In.

HE DoETH ALL THINGS WELL.
BY REV. DIR. s. F. Smith.

We are ali blind ones, cropping in the dark-we
cannot see;
The lives we here are living are full of mys-
How the plans of God are working we strive in
vain to tell,
But faith can safely trust him, for he doeth all
things well,
His Providence leads wisely, like the pillard
cloud and flame,
And so on every milestone we record his
blessed name;
All the happy Ebenezers his love and praises
tell;
His arm has never failed us; he doeth all
things well.
If the keen, sharp eye can see him as sees the
soaring lark,
If blinded through his wisdom we only trace
him in the dark,
In the s.a glowing glorious noontide or in the
We will trust him, we will love him, for he doeth
all things well.
If the blessed light is darkened, if the eye is
dull and blind,
Ills ordered by a Father who is ever good and
kind.
His purpose is in mercy, though his plan he
does not tell;
Wait till the seal is broken-he doeth all things
well.
There's world where all that tried us shall be
made diyinely clear,
The eye no more be sightless, no longer deaf the
ear;
The day shall rise in glory, why should the
heart rebel?
God sees-and we shall see him, for he doeth
all things well.
