THAT MORTGAGE LAW.
The Constitutiona1fty of the REDEEM ptiou
Clause to BE Settled by the Supreme
Court.

The Constitutiona1ity of the REDEEM ption
Clause to Be Settled by the Supreme
Court.
An important case was argued in the
state supreme court this morning. It is
a suit taken up from this county to test
the constitutionality of the mortgage re-
demption law as applied to contracts
made before the law was passed. The
legislature of 1898 passed law giving
the mortgagor eighteen months after
the sale in which to redeem the prop
erty.
In February of last year the mortgage
on the farm of John l. Beverly who
lived near Rossville was foreclosed. His
attorney claimed that the redemption
law applied and that he could not be de-
prived of the possession Of his farm until
eighteen months had expired
Judge Hazen held that the law is I'M
constitutional as far as it applies to prior
contracts, and that Beverly could not re-
deem or hold his farm. The case was
then appealed aud advanced on account
of the Importance Of the question in
volved.
There is the same kind of case ap-
pealed from Harper county, where the
Populist Judge Mckay decided that the
law applied to all contracts, exactly con-
trary to the decision of Judge Hazen.

CAUSE OF THE DELAY.
Why the Two Houses Did Not
Adjourn Sooner.
WRANGLING OYER THE JOBS
OF the Board OF Public WOrks-OSher
Legislative Matters.

OF the Board OF Public WOrks-OGher
Legislative Matters.
The cause of the legislature being held
so long past the expected time of adjourn
ment, is the disagreement between the
two houses on appropriation bills, and
the backwardness of the miscellaneous
appropriation bill. The senate considered
the house miscellaneous bill last night,
and added its miscellaneous bill carry
ing about $2S. 900 as an amendment This
will have to go to the house, which will
in all probability unconcur in the amend
ments and it will go to conference COM
mittee today.
The trouble with the other appropria-
ton bills in the conference committees
is all over the board of public works.
The house made an appropriation of 81, ;
400 for this board and gave the board of
health no money at all.
The senate wishes just the reverse of
this to be done and carries the fight
against the board of public W orks into
! the appropriation bills which give it
the supervision of the construction of
new buildings
The senate amended the Beloit, Win
field and Osdwatomie bills by taking the
expenditure of money for new buildings
from under the direction of the board of
public works and putting it in the con-
troll of the board of charities.
This the house conferrees strenuously
object to and some of the representa-
tives say they are in favor of staying till
Sunday if the senate won't give in.
The construction of the new building
at the Orphans home at Atchison has
been left under the direction of the
board of public works but the senate
| doesn't propose to allow it to extend any
further.
The Populists of the senate are OPP
posed to the board of public works, they
say because it is expensive and ineffi-
cient, but another and perhaps more
patent cause of the hostility is. that the
| abolition of the board would throw three
| Republicans out, or rather prevent three
Republicans from getting into office.
A suggested solution of the difficulty
is, that the appropriations for both the
board of public works and the board of
health be inserted in the executive ap-
preparation bill. If the Populists could
gain this concession for the board of
| health in the executive appropriation
bill, they might be induced to waive
their objections to the board of public
works provision in the other bills. On
account of this disagreement the time
for consideration of appropriation bills
has been extended half dozen times by
resolution, the last time being set at IL
o'clock today. On an adjustment of this
difference the time of adjournment de-
| Dends.

FROM MODJEsKA

Trouble In Poland.

To Her Son In Chicago, Relating to Her
Trouble In Poland.
CHICAGO, March 6-Ralph Modjeska,
SOB of the celebrated actress. has re-
ceived letter from his mother in rela-
ton to the closing of the Warsaw theater
against her, because of her address on
Poland at the Worlds fair. The letter
was written before the prohibition of her
performance WAS made, but the letter
foreshadows it.
In the letter which Ralph Modjesk q
received his mother says:
''The Russian government is forbid
eng me to play In Poland. l must tell
you how this happened When / was in
Posen a proposition was made to me to
give two performances in Kalish.
Tickets were sold to the amount of 800
roubIes before the bills were posted It
was benefit for Polish political prison
ers. On the day before the performance
was to have been given the manager of
/ the theater was notified that the police
had orders to prohibit the appearances of
Mime. Modjeska-
Now this only serves to make me
more determined than ever to go to
| Warsaw itself and make plans for a per
| Torrance there. In regard to Kalish, it
could be said that the prohibition was

| prohibition must be inspired from St
Petersburg, and must be carried out by
I the governor. Yourko was more bitter
/ and extreme against our people than Is

WICHITA Is THANKFUL.
Marsh Murdoch Returns Thanks TOT
Small Favors Received.

Small Favors Received.
The Wichita Eagle says:
Wichita has failed to realize much OF
anything but snubs and ignorings from
the last legislature, and from the present
administration. Wichita is too far away
from Topeka. Politically there is moth
ing in the state outside of the northeast
eighth, which Just includes Manhattan
and Emporia within its lines. Topeka
is in the ceuter of the northeast eighth.
It was rumored that Wichita was to have
one of her citizens named as a regent OF
ono of the half dozen new normal schools
but the normal failed, as did her promise
of railroad commissioner She is too
far away from the Missouri river and
Topeka ever to expect such thing.
For awhile it seemed almost certain
that we had cinch on the state COW doc
torship, but the COW must have been too
sick to get we'll, and SO that cinch turned
out to be less than a crupper. There
were a dozen other places held out
to Wichita strongly enough to hold her
candidates at the Copeland long enoug a
to stick them for round board bills, in
Guiding the bills of the lobby of distin
guished statesmen who fingered around
for fifty days offering the state univer-
sity which cost $165,000
A term of the appellate court was as
signed her on condition she 1urnisneo
the state an acceptable court room, free
gratis. Wichita is gratifed that she was
not required to board the bench and its
iackleg lawyers, But we will not be
unjust to the legislature, nor to Governor
Morrill,. either, if he will but sign the
/ bill. We allude to the pension granted
one Convey, who was disabled in the To
peka rebellion, two years ago. He was
only accidently shot, however. 1t will
be remembered that that was Pop war.
under dwellings administration, and
Lewelling was Wichita man.
For the sake of the connection Wichita
is not glad that Covey was hurt. Wichita
is no migrate, and therefore in the name
of her good people the Eagle offers
profuse thanks, very many thanks, much
thanks. If by any possible chance some
thing should happen to come this way
or if it shouldn't, the thanks aforesaid
may be considered as unrecalled

paternalism and what he considers it
to be.
The message ssys: at seems to be the
intention of the bill to enable a munich
pal township to go into the milling bust
ness Counties, townships and other
political subdivisions of the state were
not organized, nor was it ever intended
they should be organized for such
purposes l regard such legislation as
vicious and a step in the wrong direc-
ton. If township or city is to go into
the milling business l see no reason
why municipal organizations cannot en-
gage in divers kinds of enterprises COM
ing into direct competition with indi-
vidual enterprises and all tending in the
direction of the state owning and con-
trolling all manner of private business.
Ii is contrary to the very spirit of our
constitution and direct step toward
paternalism and against good govern
mente
The governor then states his other rea-
sons for not approving the bill which are
the faults in the construction of the bill,
that it makes no provision for anyone to
take charge of the proceeds of the sale
of the bonds and no provision as to how
the mill should be operated when built,
and other defects of a like character.
The governor also returned without
his approval two other bills, one for the
relief of the city of Leoti, Wichita
county, the other authorizing the county
commissioners of Wilson county to with
draw money from the sinking fund to
build poor house, county jail and make
other Improvements The grounds for
the veto of these bills were unconstitu-
tionality. None of the bills were passed
over the veto.
