Smith thinks and dreams OF little
else but hls desire to succeed Cor

Verify, politics Is an uncertain
game. This is constantly being
brought to Maud, but there has
been no more striking reminder
of it than the assertion made here
this week by ex-senator Sanders
Of Montana, that the republicans
Of Montana were IN favor of the
nomination Of John Sherman for
President. 1t would not have

tor Hill declared in favor OF a
third term for Mr.. Cleveland, or
the latter gentleman IN favor OF
/ the nomination Of the former.

DISGRACE TO THE SEX.

Insulting Treatment of Colorado Women
Legislators by Men.
DENVER, Colo, March 1.-The wo.
men representatives in the tenth gen.
eral assembly are having a rough time
of it because Of their sex, and the male
members are not bit diffident about
making matters more unpleasant
whenever they get a chance.
Recently, when the age of consent bill
was under discussion, the argument be-
came so pointed that the galleries were
cleared, but Saturday western schivalry"
had an inning that put to blush all pre-
vious records and caused stampede
from the floor of the wearers of skirts.
The subject was the question for pro-
viding for the accommodation of men
and women on the juries of the upper
courts The jerks bill asked for special
provision for women who were called
upon to perform jury service. Mr.. Harper
moved to strike out that part of the
measure, and his remarks led Mrs. Klock
to say, with very red face: II protest
against entertaining such talk on the
every woman in Colorado" The chair
man raped for order and closed the re-
marks of the woman, but allowed Mr.
Whittier to continue.
His coarse innuendo which followed
put the house in an uproar, and during
the next half hour the three women rep
resentatives were kept in furious blush
without any attempt on the part of the
speaker pro tenn to protect them. The
bill was defeated by vote of % to 10.

TODD HAS GONE OUT.
He Today Turns Over the Labor
Commissioners Office
TO VI. G. BIRD OF KANSAS CITY.
Mr.. Bird is a Cousin OF w. A. =. Bird
of Topeka and a w Orkingman.

Mr.. Bird is a Cousin OF w. A. =. Bird
OF Topeka and a Workinsman.
J. F. Todd is no longer state labor com
missioner. He today turned his Office
over to his successor, MIR. W. G. Bird OF
Kansas City, Kas., who was recently ap-
pointed by Governor Morrill,.
The new labor commissioner is native
Kansan, having been born on a farm in
Linn county thirty-o years ago. His
father was killed by bushwhackers near
Fort Scott during the war and
young Bird never saw any of his
relatives on his fathers side of the house
until few months ago, when transacting
some besiness with w. A. s. Bird, the
we'll known Topeka lawyer, the new
labor commissioner discovered that he
was talking to a cousin.
Commissioner Bird said to a JOURNAL
reporter that Scott Bird was the only re-
lative on his fathers side of the house he
had ever seen.
The Kansas City newspapers glory in
the fact that the new labor Commissioner
once was a Kansas City bootblack and
newsboy. Mr.. Bird is now a machinist
and electrician, and is the proprietor of
lock shop in Kansas City, Kan. He has
a wife and two children, but they will
not come to Topeka, as Mr.. Bird intends
to live in Kansas City during his official
term.
Commissioner Bird has appointed Miss
Augusta NJ. Hayes, of Kansas City, Kan
sas, as his stenographer. There are
about forty applicants for the clerkship
in this Office, but no appointment has yet
been made.
Ex-Labor- Commissioner Todd will
leave Topeka for his home in Eldorado
some time this week. He says he ex-
poets to go onto stock ranch as soon as
he gets his business affairs arranged. He
says he has a ranch in eastern Oklahoma
but does not expect to make his resi-
dence outside of the state, as he is now
happy, with all of his enemies either
dead or disheartened.

Argument With a GrOceryman.

Some few days ago little girl was
sent shopping to purchase few articles.
Among them she was to get can of
baking powder and bottle of catsup.
After the groceryman had prepared the
bundle, the little one asked him "What
kind of baking powder did you give
me?" "Why," asked the groceryman,
sis there any particular kind you
wanted?" "Yes," answered the little
girl, "my mamma wants the Gypsy
Queen Baking Powder "Why not
take some other kind?" asked the
groceryman. Because" answered the
little girl, ''my mamma says Gypsy
Queen Baking Powder is the best, and
besides she always gives me the Silk
Handkerchief which we are sure to find

Congress has Done Away with the Enroll
ing Clerks and for the Better.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Much Of the
trouble that was occasioned by reason of
the errors and mistakes which occurred
in the engrossment and enrolment of
congressional measures by hand, will, it
is believed be obviated hereafter by the
new method of having that work done
by print This change is the outcome of
one of the recommendations of the
Dockery joint commission and was put
into practical effect during the last con-
gress. An excerpt from the report Of
the commission on this subject sets forth
the report that in nearly every instance
the errors were directly traceable to the
clerical force engaged in the work of en-
crossing and enrolling the measures.
AS far back as 1849 the British parlia-
ment abandoned this method and adopt
ed that of printing. 1t was found how
ever, that the new arrangement was soon
productive of economy, convenience and
dispatch and tended to lessen the chance
Of errors.

KANSAS MEMBERS WORK.
What Our Kansas Congressman Are
Doing in Washington, Now.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Represen-
tative Broderick, whose persistency made
the anti-lottery bill law, is still here,
closing up departmental business for his
district, and will not leave for Kansas
until next Tuesday. He is discussing
with interior department officials plans
for the opening of the remnant of the
Kickapoo and Pottawatomie reserva-
tious. 1t has been decided to appoint
appraisers as soon as the willingness of
the Indians to accept the provisions of
the act has been certified to the interior
department No fears are entertained
that the Indians will refuse consent.
1t is reported that they thoroughly I'M
derstand the conditions attached to the
opening, and practically gave their con-
sent in advance of the introduction Of
the original bill
MIR. Curtis is on his way back to Kan
sas. Mr.. Simpsons successor, Mr. Long.
will remain an indefinite period. He
and Mr.. Calderhead are familiarizing
themselves with the routine department
tai work which Kansas constituencies re-
quire of their congressman in extraordi-
nary measure. Representatives from
large cities or from old settled communi-
ties are comparatively free from de-
mands of this character-so much SO
that it is even probable that Curtis or
Simpson alone had more of them than
the entire delegation from New York. A
Kansas congressman who pretends to
keep even with his constituency works a
little over thirty-six hours day.
For a new member Mr.. Long has an I'M
usually difficult piece of work on hand.
in seeing to it that the sugar made in the
big Seventh last year gets its proper
share of the five million dollars the sun
dry civil bill gave to make up
for the repealed bounty. The adj
publication of these claims will re-
quire months. 1t is probable that not
one of them will be paid until all have
been adjusted, for if the gross amount
established exceeds the appropriation,
payments can only be made of proper
tional percentages, as the millions are
not elastic.
Mr.. Simpson returned home last night
and thus babe Washingto good bye in
an interview published yesterday in a
local paper: 81 will go back to my Kan
sas home with pleasant recollections of
the people of Washington. l have been
treated with kindness and courtesy by
all, and what ridicule l have been sub
jected to does not bother me in the least
1t occurs to me that the nation has not
suffered any by my presence in the halls
of congress, and if l have accomplished
anything the records alone will show.

to be thankful for"

How the State Is Robbed of Property by

now the STATE Is RODDoO OF property by
Legislative Hangers On.
Twenty thousand lead pencils were
purchased for the use of the two houses
of the legislature just one week before
they adjourned and at the end of the
week there wasn't one left They were
carried off mostly by clerks. pages, house
and senate assistants, friends of mem
bers, lobbyists and hangers on generally
about the state house. This kind of a
raid is made at the end of every session.
Persons that wouldn't think of enter

THE GIRLS REBELLED.
Inmates of Illinois House of Correction
Won't Stand Cruelty.

Won't Stand Cruelty.
CHICAGO, NJ arch 11.-Riot broke loose
in the Illinois State Home for juvenile
female offenders at 3I14 Indiana avenue
tonight Thirty four girls, ranging in
wears from 10 to IS, rose in rebellion
against the matron, Mrs. A M. Dayton.
Mrs. Dayton and her assistants were
powerless to control their charges, and
were assaulted and compelled to shut
themselves in rooms to escape their al
most frenzied assailants, while the girls
went through the house breaking furni-
ture and windows and smashing crock
cry. and everything they could lay their
hands on.
The police were summoned and re-
stored order which was no easy matter
as the ringleaders fought desperately.
Four of the girls supposed to be ring
leaders, were arrested.
The trouble arose because of the pun
ishment given by Matron Dayton to
Mamie Davis, Is years old, who IS said
by the attendants at the home to be the
one among the inmates most hard to
manage. According to the girls, how
ever. the punishment melted out to the
Davis girl served only as a pretext
for an uprising which had been
gathering for some time, and
was due to great dissatis-
faction among the girls over their treat
ment in general aud particularly because
of system of punishment which in.
cluded imprisonment in dark room, 10
by ~ feet in size, the culprit being
chained to the floor with heavy chain.
and also a system of dieting In which
the offender was not allowed meat and
was half starved for time determined
by the nature of the offense charged
against her.

"A Card From H1r. TilIotson.

To the Republican Voters of Topeka:
My opponents for the nomination for
city attorney are urging as a reason for
their preferment that each of them is
ready, willing and able to care for the
city's interest in the sewer case in the
supreme court without assistance. The
reason these gentlemen are so anxious to
represent the city in this case without
assistance may be inferred from the
facts.
Mr.. NJ. T. Campbell is one of the at
torneys against the city in this case and
as such has entered his appearance in
the supreme court. Mr.. w. a. S. Bird
was voluntary witness against the city
in the trial court, and both myself and
Mr.. Isenhart rely upon his evidence
being one of the errors in this case.
Mr.. Bird first sought to be employed in
this case by the city and failed. He then
informed our opponents of how he could
help them as witness, but never in
formed the city. He twice went into
Douglas county for the purpose of be-
ing subpoenaed as a witness against us,
and went on the witness stand and testi-
fed as to matters he claimed to have
learned while he was city attorney.
do not ask any one to simply take
nv word for this. / have the docum ents
and evidence in my possession and will
show them to any person who wishes to
