SENATOR srERNE's SPEECH.
The Shawnee Senator Says Very Litt1
But Does Much.

The Shawnee Senator Says Very Little
But Does Much.
A remarkable thing occurred in the
senate committee of the whole last night
Senator Sterne of Topeka made speech.
If the other senators devoted as little
time to lenghthy discourses and did as
much business as Senator Sterne there
would be no need of night sessions.
The following Is an accurate and au-
thentic report of the speech: "Mr. Pres
ident, l wish to have bill of mine, No.
116, advanced on the calendar and taken
up at this time. 1t is a bill that has
caused me more annoyance than all my
other bills put together. 1t is not an i'm
portant DILL, and l want to get it off my
hands / hope none of you senators will
object to it's consideration now"
Nobody objected and the committee of
the whole recommended the passage of
the bill 1t is one advanced by
the State kindergarten association.
1t enables cities of the first
class to establish and maintain
kindergartens at the expense of the gen
eral school fund, and instructs the state
| board of education to issue certificates
to principals of kindergarten training
schools.
Another bill by Senator Sterne, and one
| of much more importance was also pass
ed 1t is for the benefit of railroad COM
panies that are "hard up and is there
| fore in the interest of all of them.
The most important provision in the
| bill is this one:
SIN any contract for the sale of rail-
road or street railway equipment or roll
ing stock, it shall be lawful to agree that
the title to the property sold, although
possession thereof may be delivered i'm :
mediately, shall not vest in the purchas-
or until the purchase price shall be fully
paid, or that the seller shall have and re.
tain lien thereon for the unpaid pur.
chase money"
Among the other bills which the
committee recommended favorably was
one by Senator Smith s'for the destruction
of obnoxious weeds" which makes such
destruction compulsory.
Another bill provides that "The regents
of the university of Kansas are author
lied to erect hospital on the grounds
in Rosedale, Wyandotte county, given
for that purpose by DR.. Simeon B. Bell
The hospital is to be used by the medi-
cal school of the state university for the

MIR. sTROMQUIsT HEARD FROM.
Defends the Action of the Temperance
Committee of the House.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
In yesterdays JOURNAL you ask:
"What do they meant" Allow me to say,
that if your reporters wish to learn the
truth as to what the committee ''mean"
and its Intent" or what its determine
ton" to do is, he could have learned the
facts, had he not been too sublime TO IN
terview some one of the temperance
committee.
That would have saved many of the
readers of the JOURNAL much uneasiness
and the JOURNAL itself from doing in
justice to the committee.
Your reporter has not tried to learn,
and does not know, what is the commit
tees intent" As far as I know, and
judging from the expression of several
members of the committee at our meet
ings, feel safe to say that every MEM
Der is in favor of and will support the
cause of temperance, and that no one of
them will "play into the hands of the
whisky crowd" as you accuse US of
doing. We may differ from the JOUR-
NAILS opinion in regard to the best meth
DDS in order to promote the temperance
cause and enforce the prohibitory law,
honest as the JOURNAL.
We have tried to inform ourselves 10
to the best methods, and in accordance
to the views of those who have had the
most experience in the effort to enforce
the law, and have carefully considered
the same, but at the same time
we do not intend to be submits
sive servants to the views of
any single person or newspaper,
the JOURNAL not excepted. We will try
to do what in our judgment will best pro-
mote temperance and Enforcement of the
law.
It is true that the bill introduced by
the committee as it was typewriter and
is now printed, lacks the provisions the
committee had agreed to have put in
there as punishments for the second,
third and each subsequent offense against
the law, and had your reporter asked the
committee for explanation, he could have
had such to his satisfaction, believe.
l hope it will be plain to every fair
minded person that the committee intend
to do what is just and right, and that
every member of the committee is fully
as much in favor of temperance, and to
uphold the prohibition law as the editor
of the JOURNAL
As to the charges that "promises were
given before the election" 1 will ask the
editor to prove his statements, or excuse
me if l believe it to have been whisper
ed in his ears by a certain old person
known as "a slanderer from the begin
ming"
The committee does not feel scared
For sound, reasonable arguments and
good advice it will be thankful from
whomsoever it comes. Yours,
c. J. STRoMQUIsT,
Chairman of Temperance Committee.

The absence of any attempt toward rail-

comment even among the Republicans
The committee on railroads has itself az
Tar made no move at all to satisfy the de-
mand Of large part of the people of the
state for regulation of rates, and it has
shown no disposition to consider the bills
on that subject which have been refer
req to It It is probable the subject
would have been ignored altogether had
i ~ not been for the prodding of the Popu-
nsts who desire to put the majority on

It Goes Through Committee of the Whole
With q Rush.

It Goes Through Committee of the Whole
With a Rush.
The Populist senate is making a record
that cannot fail to satisfy the much ex-
acting or radical constituents, to say
nothing of the more conservative ele-
ment that wants merely anti-pass legis
lation.
The Jumper bill passed the senate
committee of the whole last night. 1t is
an anti-pass bill but unfortunately it has
coupled with it a maximum passenger
rate feature that insures its defeat in the
other branch. Why didn't MIR. Jumper
make two bills of his one awkward one?
The bill fixes a general passenger rate
OF two cents mile for adults and one
cent mile for children between three
and twelve years of age. The bill on
the pretense of enabling the roads to
make this rate with profit seeks to shut
off all passes or reduced transportation
except in the case of employees of the
road It makes fine to the company of
not more than $1,000 or not less than five
times the amount Of the rebate for vio-
lating the bill.
Senator Brown said, 81 am going to
surprise you all by voting for this bill,
and | hope it will become a law. Not
because l like the bill but because the
sooner we find out whether there is any
thing in this class of legislation or not,
the better. So far as the pass feature of
the bill is concerned, myself have an
anti-p pass bill Similar maximum rate
! bills to this one have been declared IN
constitutional in other states, but if they
will hold in Kansas we ought to know it. u
Besides this one, two other bills of the
Regulating" class also passed. One is
| by Senator Lands in relation to tele-
graph lines and charges, making the
maximum rate % cents for the first ten
words and one cent for each additional
word for points within 300 miles. Il
makes an even greater reduction in pres:
telegraph copy. A heavy penalty is pro
vided for refusal or failure to send any
| message, aud telegraph employees have
secrecy of contents of messages made
compulsory.
A bill to regulate express charges, alsC
by Senator Lands. was passed. 1t com
| pels the express companies to furnish
| statements of business done and list oil
employees and other expenses, and such
other statistics as will enable the board
of railroad commissioners to prepare al
equita Bile schedule of rates.
In addition to these the maximum
freight rate bill which reduces in gen
eral way freight charges by nearly 81
per cent, was passed last week and i
now in the house.
The Populist senators admit that thu
chances are that none of these bills will
pass, with the possible exception of tn,
Lands bills. But whether they do o
not, they have made record of reform
legislation, and record is about all tn
Populists have left to work for.

DID NOT ABUSE CHANCELLOR SNOW
Senator Lands Wants to be Set Right OIL
His Remarks.


The 100000 appropriation for general
expenses which occupied so much time
in the committee of the whole Wednes-
day night but was undisposed of, came
up last night and the committee of the
whole recommended the bill for passage
last night 1t was a victory for the more
liberal senators on both sides of the SEN
ate.
Senator Harry Lands, who was one of
those who led the fight on the increased
appropriation, regrets being quoted as
making the charges which were made
against Chancellor Snow. Me- Jumper
and several others who fought the appro-
priation said the unpleasant things re-
garding the chancellor. Senator Lands
said, "The wrong man was quoted
was opposed to the increased appropria-
ton because l think some of the salaries
could stand reduction. But regarding
Chancellor Snow, he is a man | admire
and revere, and it was another senator
who accused him of 'faring sumptuously
like prince every day."

Senator Leedy's bill to abolish the
state livestock sanitary commission came
up in the senate yesterday on third read
ing but action on it was deferred.
Senator Leedy, in supporting his bill,
did not overlook an opportunity to make
his remarks good and strong. He says
the commission is a "fake," composed, as
a rule, of men who don'r know CHAMBERS
from appendicitis. He related one in
stance where cattle were taken sick
from eating green rye, and the case was
pronounced a dangerous contagion.
Senator LeedY declared that the board
was expensive and no stockmen had ever
received dollars worth Of benefit from
it The fact was not overlooked that the
commission is going to take a junketing
