Australian Ballot Law Construed.

The committee on elections report
ed on the contest of W. NJ. Glenn VS..
c. E. Wightman from Greeley county,
yesterday and the decision Of the COM
mittee was unanimous in favor of
seating Mr.. Glenn. The contestant
claimed that two illegal votes were
cast against him and that five votes
were counted against him that, under
the Australian ballot law, should
have been rejected, as they were not
marked as provided in the statute.
The committee did not decide the
question of illegal votes as they say it
was not necessary to determination
of the contest, but recommended that
the five votes be rejected, thereby
electing Mr.. Glenn by three votes.
The report is based on recent de
cisiOns of the supreme courts of
Maine, Indiana, Iowa and Kansas, on
the Australian ballot laws and says
the statute is mandatory; the voter
must follow it strictly or his vote
should not be counted; that the prin-
ciple object Of the law is to secure
absolute secrecy, and il voter is per-
mitted to mark his ballot as he
pleases the object Of the law would be
thYarted, and such unauthorized

marks might be used as identifying
marks and for corrupt practices. The
fact that the two POpulist members
Messrs, Pancake and Nigswonder of
the committee agreed to the report
shows sthat no claim can be made
that the report was a partisan one.
The report shows clearly that Mr..
Glenn was fairly elected. Chairman
Miller made an able argument for the
report explaining the law and the
facts that had enabled the committee
to arrive at the decision rendered.
The report was adopted without an
opposition vote. Mr.. Glenn was
sworn in and will take his seat this
morning as Greeley county's repre-
sentative.-Capital, "a.

At Topeka.

The editor of the VOICE visited the
halls Of legislation st Topeka last
week. We found Senator FOrney
busy as a bee, and greatly interested
in accomplishing some good for the
people. He is one of the foremost
men in the Senate. He is consulted
by his colleagues on everything of i'm
pOrtance, and his judgment carries
great weight. He is proceeding on
the principle that whOsoever serves
his country best thereby serves party
best. Legislation is what is wanted
and be, with all our POpulist Senators,
are determined not only to put stone
in the way, but to help Republicans
do the people all the good they can.
If any good can come out Of Nazareth,
let it come.
We spent also very pleasant half
dayin the company Of Chaplin BOtkin,
and had our zeal for the cause of the
people renewed. Brother Botkin
spends all of his time at Topeka, edit
ing his paper from there. lie is max
ing good use of of his time, fortifying
himself with facts and logic for the
battle of the new redemption" and
we have an idea that the people of
Kansas will yet hear from his great
heart and wonderful power on the
platform.
Brother G. H. Fish is assistant
dOOrkeeper Of the Senate and has lost
none of his old time ardor in the cause.
He has for more than year been
making a study of optics and at the
close of the session will take a course
of lectures and locate at some place
yet undetermined as an Optician. His
son-in-law. W. D. McKinstry. and
Bruce Magee, who have just retired
from the State Treasurer's office, have
been making use Of their spare time
in the same direction, and both are
now away attending lectures. Mr..
McKinstry has determined,upon locat-
ing at Galveston, and Mr.. Magee at
Lincoln, Neb. They are all warm
friends Of the VOICE and we sincerely
hope they may be successful in their
new line of employment. We can
warmly recommend them to the peo-
pie wherever they may locate as good
citizens.
We met, also, Hon. R. T. Simons,
and found him industriously laboring
for what he COnceives to be for the
best interests of the people.
We saw Representative Spicknall
in his seat and heard him cast his
vote for Lucien Baker for the U. S.
Senate, but opportunity to consult

Legislative Notes.

Lucien Baker has little nest egg
Of something like a hundred thousand
dollars laid by where he can reach it
if his salary is not sufficient to keep
his family. He made the "wad" try
ing law suits.-Lawrencs Journal.
In the Kansas senate Tuesday a
resolution was adopted providing for
the submission to the voters at the
general election in 1896, for ltheir ap-
proyal or rejection, the question Of a
convention to revise the constitution
ofthe state.
The house committee on elections
today decided unanimously in favor
Of seating A. H. Lupfer, the Populist
member from Pawnee county. His
seat was contested by Henry Booth,
Republican. The committee did not
even wait to hear the arguments of
Lupfer's attorney.-Topeka Journal,
18th.
Senator O'Bryan has introduced an
act requiring all persons who desire
to take advantage Of the "Stay Law"
to give bond for the interest accruing
in the Is months, and to cover any
waste which they may commit. The
act also prohibits the renting out of
the property during the time that it
is held under this law.
Rev. j. D. BOtkin writes thus to his
paper from Topeka:
Northumberland TrOutman is a
good presiding officer and the business
of the senate is conducted with neat
ness and dispatch. There are some
strong men in this body. On the
pOphlist side DennisOn, King, Lands,
Leedy and Forney are probably the
most frequently spoken of, but many
Others are worthy of special mention.
Dennison has WOO distinction as a
safe interpreter of constitutional law.
And concerning the new United
States Senator as follows:
After all the republicans have nam
ed a man who should be but little
more acceptable to church people
than Burton. He is genuine type Of
a Leavenwo1th anti-prOhibitiOnist.
III the fall Of 1889 and during the fol-
lowing winter and spring Mr.. Baker
devoted his time largely to stumping
the state for resubmissiOn, and warm.
ly supported Charles Robinson, a
Democrat, for governor because Of his
resubmisSiOn views.

"Kansas Day" Exercises.

The superior ability of the pupils
of the Wellington schools to entertain
and instruct an audience was fully
demonstrated Tuesday afternoon and
evening. A large number of the
patrons attended the afternoon exer
CiseS which were given wholly by the
high school pupils. They were en-
tirely satisfactory and good example
of the regular semi-mOnthly' .rhetori-
Gals. The idea but two or three
lays ago dawned upon the instructors
10 consolidate their different pro-
grams and give public entertain
ment in the evening in Commemora-
tiOn of Kansas Day and in order to
show to the public true example of
their regular rhetOricals. The pro-
gram at night consisting of music,
oratiOns, deClamatiOns, papers and
exercises by the little folks, was one
OF the best ever given by the schools,
although no extra preparations had
been made. 1t would be impossible
to give any comprehensive description
of the work, as the program was SC
equally we'll rendered that to slight
one part would ba to slight it all. 1t
is wonderful, the early knowledge
and genius displayed by the little
first grade folks. Their part of the
program was always greeted with an
enthusiastic applause calling efor an
encore. Such display of early talent
is sufficient proof of the excellent
rhetorical drill now being given il
our schools. The older ones who
spoke last night showed the culture
they have received, in their graceful,
manner and easy delivery. The value
Of this great attribute to school worl
can not he over-estimated.

Wichita's representatives got left
after all in their attempts to be in the

over. They left Ady and went to
Burton because they thought him to
be the winner. A representative

always supporting the winning man
for senator or any other position.

NEW YORK. Feb. -. These are memo
rable days for the fastidious young Count
de Castellane. 1t Is not in the best form
perhaps for q count to be busy, especially
with commonplace business, but this count
Is very much occupied, very much IN de-
mand, very much sought atter--and all
because the richest young woman in the
world has chosen him for her lord and
loving husband.
The count has modest apartments over
French nodiste at 80 East Thirty-third
street, but spends much Of his time at the
Waldorf hotel All the callers after IL
O'Clock in the morning are told that tho
Count dc Castellane can be found ut the

II is very distastcful TO the count TO re-
ceivc any save his most intimate friends
in his apartments. He Is as iidgety as q
schoolgirl when n stranger enters, and a
reporter who met him there, almost by ac-
cident, as it were, felt strangely out OF
place, for it WAS evident that the count
was in mortal fear Of a newspaper writer
