The anti-option bill which has monopol
ICED almost the whole time of the senate
latter the morning hour during the present
sessi II and which is expected to reach its
final vote tomorrow was debated for nearly
three hours and then went over without
action. Sweeping denunciations of the
measure were made by Senator Hoar, Vest
and Plat as being in utter contravention
of the constitution of the United States and
in violation Of the rights of the state. Mr..
Plat yielded to many Interruptions and was
therefore unable to finish his argument to-
day.
The McGarrahan bill received it's death
blow for this session Of the senate to-day,
the affirmation vote falling eight short Of
the constitutional majority.
The session of the house to-day was an
interesting one. Work was mapped out for
the remainder of the week, and for Tues
day and Wednesday of next week, but be-
yond this little was done. A few private
measures We're passed and the committee
IN the judiciary having under a prior or
der, the right of way. called up some bills
Of secondary importance. The one ofths
most public interests was that providing for
the punishment of offensive passengers on
the high seas, which was passed.

4 Parody on Brutus' Speech and a Clever
Retcrt Excused Even Poacher.
A strolling player was once caught
performing the part of poacher, says
the Million, and the implacable game
keeper took him before the magistrates.
One of the country landlords sitting on
the bench asked him what right he
had to kill hare, when the actor re-
piled in the following parody on Bru-
tus' speech to the Romans in defense of
his killing Cesar;
'BrltOns, hungry men and eplcureS

RECRUITING THE VOCABULARY.

1t is fact, perhaps not generally un-
derstood, that number of words and
phrases in common use have their origin
in the name or action Of some person
who is usually given notoriety thereby.
The colioquial seance that occurred be-
tween the president and Delegate Raw
Inns of Utah over the dispensing of fed
eral patronage in that territory, furn-
ishes fresh instance in point. Until
the notorious episode mentioned which
was followed by the resignation of the
testy delegate there was no one single
word to describe the course of a man
who resigns and then says he did not re-
sign, who backs and fills, who bluffs and
then calls himself down, who says that
a man would do certain thing is moth
ing but a lick-spttle and then breaks his
neck to do that certain thing, who
brag5 of his manly independence and
then allows his nose to be twisted by the
local bosses of his party; but hereafter
such course of conduct in Utah may
be aptly, if not elegantly, described by
the single word, Rawlinsism.

THE GEARY Law.
rom the Newton RenrhIican.

From the Newton Republican
Thomas j. Geary. the author % the
Chinese exclusion act, is Democratic
congressman from Santa Rosa, Cal, the
home of Allen B. Lennon, a former
owner OF the Republican. The bill is
Democratic measure in every particular;
1t was framed by Democrat, was rec
commended by Democratic committee
OF Democratic house and was first
passed by a Democratic house Ii is true
the bill was signed by Republican
president, but that does not make the
republican party nor Mr.. Harrison
responsible for the law as it now
stands. The bill was origin
ated and passed ~ "a Democratic
house for campaign purposes. 1t was
hoped that the passage of such bill
would force President Harrison to veto
the action of congress and thus throw
the Pacific states-ali of them-into the
Democratic Column. But an all-wise
creator guarded the destinieS of the Re
publican party and the bill was signed
and made law. Whether it is good
or bad law Is matter of personal opin-
ion, but one thing is sure and that is
that the Democratic party is and must
be held responsible for the result of heir
conspiracy to drive the western states
over to Democracy.

ONE DEMOCRATS IDEA OF REFORM

Mr.. Henry Watterson, poetic as ever,
has taken the Democratic party and the
public generally into his confidence as
10 the proper method Of providing a
decent quantity of revenue and of tariff
reform for the government and the peo-
pie. lie says:
In round numbers the expenses OF gov
ernmeat ought to be brought within $780,
000 600. One hundred and twenty. five
millions of this we get in round numbers
from the internal revenue tax. Fifty
millions more can be got out of an income
tax, which would be felt by nobody The
remaining SID 100000 can be raised by a
tariff 50 simple that children might I'M
derstand it; IA tariff so plain that rogues
could not manipulate nor protectionsts
confuse; tariff, in short, on fifty items
as far as possible laid on articles not pro-
duced in the United States: tea, sugar and
coffee, OF course no schedules: no ciassi-
tications; no free list, everything, not
taxed, free; and no more chance for
Misunderstanding anywhere, or by any body
How easy it seems as Mr. Waterson
outlines 1t. Lean on internal revenue
and on non-competitive imported arti-
cles. Give horue manufactures over
bodily to foreign competition, without
haSgling about their safety or their
needs arising from long-established arti-
fetal conditions. Put n big, booming
tax on the nations breakfast table and
expect every one to Wear face wreath
ed in patriotic smiles. Ask every man
how much money he has in his pockets:
if he heSitatPS in his renly turn his ,,ocl-
cts inside ont and then tax him. He
will not feel this and will be very happy
during the process.
But, seriously, it is useless for Mr..
Waterson OF any other Democrat TO dis
cuss the tariff or auy other economic
question from the standpoint of party
expediency or platform obligations with
out first ascertaining the views and
wishes of Boss Grover, who will dictate
what shall and shall not be done along
that line.

of the state senate in 72'13 and after

United States senate. He delivered the

The only way ont Of the dilemma into
which the new eight-hour law seems to
have thrown the manufacturers and
contractors for public work in this state
will lie for proposals for mate
Eials ana supplies to restrict such bids to
the productions of the state. In this
way alone can the interests of our own
people be protected. IL materials are re-
quired that are not produced in Kansas,
for public buildings or other public en-
terprises, the restriction would not apply
and there would be no competition from
without the state with our labor and III

manufacturer or producer. in this state

No. Never Do. Never Do.

From the Lawrence journal.
Last year when Marsh Murdoch was
candidate for governor it was urged
against him that he had opposed prohi-
bition with such effect that he could not
be elected. Now comes the declaration
that it will never do for him to run next
year because woman suffrage will be an
issue, ard he has opposed that SO siren
uously that he could not be elected.
Colonel Murdoch may not even be can
didate, but that is a mighty poor argu-
ment for any one who is in favor of
woman suffrage to advance against him.
A cause that is going TO have a battle
for its life can hardly begin work by
debating terms to its friends.

MORE CLEVELAND LIrqLENEss,

Another glazing instance in point TO
the fact that the present is a strictly and
exclusively personal administration is
shown in the case of BasCom Myrick Of
Americas, Ga, who was favored by
Speaker Crisp for the appointment as
consul general at Berlin. At the speak
er's special instance Cleveland had
agreed 10 bestow this valuable Office
upon the Georgia editor, but Hoke Smith
claimed that Myrick was an anti-Cleve-
land man and that his paper had made
statement previous to Cleveland's last
nomination, that the then eX-president
was Democrat on the tariff and was a
Republican on all other questions; that
in fact he was mugwump. Files of Mr..
Myrick'S paper, the Americas Times
Record, were sent for and were search
ingly perused through long series of
weeks by men employed in the depart
ment of state to do the legitimate work
of this country. The frightful charge
was sustained by their testimony, and
Speaker Crisp was notified by President
Cleveland that Mr.. Myrick could not
have the office as he had made himself
personally offensive to Cleveland.
A more fragrant exhibition of little
ness was never made by any man hold
ing high public office.
