Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1895-12-13

; slWAsHrNoroN, Dec. 7.-Senatol
PETER. has embodied in a bill, which
he has presented to the senate,
plan to take the government into
the railroad pooling business. The
scheme: 10 not that the government
shall buy all the railroads in the
country, but that all the railroads,
big and little, in every part of the
country, be consolidated into one
big pool or system to the extent Of
allowing the government to fix the
charges. This will be done by a
board created for the purpose.
Senator PETER would have the
charge on the Same article tho same
to any part of tho country. He
cites the postal system to show how
it would work.
Another bill of Mr.. PETERS is
aimed at the comptroller OF the
treasury, Mr.. Bowler, who, OF him
self declared the law passed
by congress compromising sugar
growers for the loss of bounty, un'
constitutional. The purpose OF the
bill is entirely explained in the
title, which is "to prevent officials
of the United States from refusing
to pay out moneys appropriated by
congress-"
The bill seems ludicrous, but
Comptroller Bowler, by his action
previously referred to, has apparent
ly created the necessity for such
measure.

Arlower show in the Senate.

To the throngs in the galleries OF
the Washington capitol it was a
pretty race to see which senator
would get the biggest bouquet on
Monday. On just one.third OF the
desks lay ribbon-tied nosegays, but
Senator Peffer's expanse OF ma
hogany was the first to be com
plstely covered by roses Then
Senator Mitchell of Oregon shot
ahead with a towering pile OF
chrysanthemums, and, on the Dem
ooratic side, the desk of Senator
Smith suddenly blossomed forth
with the gay flowers of the season.
Next Senator Blackburn scored
with colors of yellow and white,
which latter We'd with his red neck
scarf to produce stunning effect.
Two baskets with ceiling.piercing
handles lowered from Senator Gal
,,inper's new seat in the front row,
and Senator Davis revelled in a
bank of pink roses. 1t was reserv-
ed for Senator Sewell, however, TO
be literally crowded out of his seat
in the last row by a profusion OF
chrysanthemums, roses, pinks and
lilies of the valley. So conspicuous
was his array of offerings that his
innate modesty forced him to retire
the more elaborate pieces and to
reserve only simple glass Of
roses, Senator Shoup's more prac'
tical admirers sent him basket OF
fruit..-New York Sun.

We are told by the plutocrats
that the distress of the people can
not be relieved by legislation. II
this is true why do they want legis-
lation? Why did they ask to be
relieved from the income tax Why
did they ask for the characterization
of silver? Why do they ask to be
free from taxation Oh their bonds ?
Why do they ask the exclusive
privilege of issuing paper money .?
Why do they ask for franchises
worth millions of dollars !? Why
do they keep horde of paid lob
byists at our national and state
legislatures to influence legislation?
But we might sum the whole thing
up in one question. Why do they
lie ?-Denver Road.

You people are sleeping on your
rights You are, you think, too
poor to spend few dimes or dol
lars to defend your cause in propa-
ganda work. Yes, you are poor
but you are rich now in comparison
with what you will be, if the pres
ent system continues. You are
afraid to spend money in propa-
ganda work, are you !? Afraid you
will lose your home. If the ques-

at the ballot.box, you may be called
away, never to return to home and

him BY brandishing a poker In his face
she induced him to go away. She believed
that she would nuf be molested by him
again, but an hour and a half later.
while she was in the yard hanging out
clothes, she heard a noise and Fan in the
house Just in time to see the tramp GO

gets off his horse his knees tremble un-
der him and he walks from choice at
broad gauge gait. When he sits down to
his dinner the board benches seem to be
full OF Jumps, spots become sore, anu
for week he Is in a frame OF mind to
prefer hot griddle, for the benches
seem harder than he ever noticed them
TO be before. He is experiencing some
of the delights of soldering, but ne still
has little pluck left. The second day
was worse than the first. and he loses
small portions of skin from the constant
rubbing OF the saddle. He cannot stop,
however. for he has set out to be a
soldier, and a soldier he will be II his
flesh and bones hold out.
Before he is fairly accustomed to the
use of his feet in the stirrups, and Just
when he is beginning to catch the knack
of supporting himself upon them ana
relieving the terrible humping. his saoer
and carbine are given him, and ne is In
structed in their use, mounted.
q That is the last straw. He has no use
of his hands to help balance himself, and
he gets worse pounding than ever.
But all good times must have an end,
and within few weeks he rides fairly
we'll in the riding hall, and the period OF
CALLING unpleasantnesssis at an end. His
education in riding, the use of saber,
carbine and pistol progress rapidly, and
eventually, say at a period averaging
about 60 days from his arrival at Fort
Riley, he finds himself in his troop, an
instructed recruit, ready for any SER
vice which the troop may be called upon
to perform. But he still has that odious
name clinging to him and will have it
until another detachment of recruits
come to join the troop. Then he will be
called cavalryman, and the newcomers
will be recruits until the next detach-
ment comes.
