this was the most expensive Kansas
legislature ever known" Their subse-
quent actions proved this to be only too
true. The republican members had not
yet left Topeka on their way home be-
fore they commenced making the charge.
From the way all Of the state depart
ments are running, there will be very
few or no deficiency bills for the next
legislature to take care OF.

by the Populist administration for 1898

GENERAL REMARKS.

The ftty-four P0pulist assistant SER
gesnts- alarms who accepted pay, cost
s64S; the 66S republican assistant SER
gesnts-st arms cost S6,012, besides
81, AGO 20 for sandwiches, etc. There are
yet about 100 republican assistant SER
gesnts alarms unpaid, most OF whom it
is suppc ssd will accept pay. The calling
out Of the militia cost nearly $4,000. The
court-msrtisl trial OF Colonel ]. W.T.
Hughes republican, for characterization
and disobeying bis commsnder-in- chief,
cost in round numbers s1,75O.
The above figures show that the cost
Of the legislative war on the republican
side is at lesst 5000 more than on the
Populist side. They also show that the
total cost q ihs war is about $4,000.
The legislative war was q bad thing,
surpassed only by the present extra ses-
sion Of our national congress. And
while the Populists are unanimously
firm in their convictions that the course
pursued by the Populists is right, the
msjority Of republicans think the Popu-
lists we're wrong. 1t should be noted in
this connection, however, that the chair.

Ask Your Conscience
Who Were the RevoIutionists
in the Kansas Legislative
Trouble of 1893.

In view Of the fact that the legislative
trouble Of last winter is the only tissue"
to which republican speakers are paying
attention this campaign, the people de-
sire enlightenment Oh that subject from
both sides Of the question. The follow
ing article, reviewing the main points in
the matter, was written by Fred J. Close
for publication in the Atchison Globe:
When the legislature assembled on
January 10, 1893, the Populist members
had no pre- arrangement TO organize the
house separate from the other members
elected, and when the secretary Of state,
who had always since the organic ation
Of the state called the house to order
and presided until the temporary officers
were elected, was refused recognition by
the republican members and was OBJ
cted to by them, some one was obliged
to call the house to order and the first
one to do 80 was M. Ssnpls, the mem
Der from Franklin county. And under
all parliamentary rules he was entitled
TO act in that capacity for the purpose
Of electing temporary officsrs, but the
republicans came there prepared TO or.
ganize, whether parliamentary or other
wise, and 30 republican jumped up on
his seat, pulled gavel out Of his pocket,
and called for vote for temporary and
permanent officers, and without being
able TO tell who or how many voted, be
announced such officers elected. AS
none Of the Populists, democrats or the
independent republican, Mr.. Wilson,
voted on such occasion, they only had
sixty.three votes, even if all we're pres
emit on their side according to their own
count, and in that sixty three they in
cluded Mr.. Chrismsn, Of Cnsutsuqua
tounty, who had been aud then was a
resident OF Oklahoma Territory, as is
shown by the following sffidsvits of Mr..
Chrisman himself:

SUMMARY.

Notwithstanding the growing de-
msnds OF the state each succeeding year,
and Notwithstanding the fact that
considerable money was appropriated at
the legislative session OF 1893, which
would not have been done but for the
stubbornnees Of the republicans, yet |
have the very great pleasure Of snnounc-
ing to the people Of the state Of Kansas
that the Peoples party has and will save
TO them by the expiration Of their pres
emit terms Of Office the sum Of s66l, 769.03
on the items above mentioned, to which
should be added all the savings made
by other state officers and state institu-
tons, an amount large enough to in
crease that sum to 100000.
The results OF the labor necessary to
compile the above statistics are no more
astonishing to you, dear reader, than it
is gratifying to me. 1 am also aston
ished that the comparison has resulted
so very fsvorably to the Peoples party,
Of which L am proud to be an humble
member.

There has been quite saving on the
engrossing and enrolling forces Of the
legislature since the demand for re-
trenchment by the Popullsts, but as the
records on this point do not appear to
be complete it is difficult to obtain the
exact figures. Suffice it to say that
it amounts TO several thousand dollars
saved to the state. There are also saw
ings being made by almost all Of the
state institutions which are too numer-
GUS to mention.
Auditor Van Prsther has also made q
large saving over former years by re-
ducing claims for fees made by sheriffs
for taking prisoners to the psnitentlsry.
For example: II sheriff was away
from home forty eight hours, he would
formerly charge per diem for six days,
which was allowed; but for this he is
now allowed only two days. Also allow
sncss have been made for roundabout
trips TO the penitentiary, while now the
auditor takes the map and counts up a
direct route to Lansing, for which pay
is allowed only.
