A Hot Fight.

The red-hottest fight of the present
session of the legislature occurred last
Friday night over the reduction of the
state printers fees. The battle was
precipitated by Hon. w. j. Fitzgerald,
representative from Ford county, who
seems to have been the only man in the
House with nerve enough to tackle
''Fighting" Joe Hudson, as the passage
of the bill was about to 60 by default for
the lack of leader. Notwithstanding the
presence of Maj. Hudson and his friends
Mr.. Fitzgerald not only succeeded in
getting the bill before the House, but
held it there through all the parliament
airy variations, and with sledge-
hammer strokes drove the bill to final
passage.
In regard to this battle the Leaven-
worth Times dispatch, March 1st, COM
ments as follows:
After hard fight at 10 O'Clock to-
night. Mr.. Fitzgerald secured recog-
nitibn on his resolution advancing the
public printers fee substitute bill.

Frost VS.. Nenie.

In the L. 5. supreme court on Mon
day final decision was rendered in the
case of ID. NJ. Frost against Fred Wenie,
wherein was involved the title of the
land situate between Military avenue
and the Santa Fee railway in this city.
The case has been in the courts over ten
years, and several thousands of dollars
have been squandered by the litegants
in trying to settle the title in dispute
Mr.. Frost claimed the land by right of
settlement and homestead entry and Mr..
Wenle by preemption. Both were
residents and held large business in
terests in this city until few years ago.
Upon his appointment to the position of
Register of the U. 5. Land Office by
President Harrison, Mr.. Frost removed
to Garden City, where he still resides
devoting his time and labor to horti-
culture and irrigation. Mr.. Wenie has
lived in Kansas City during the several
years since he removed from this city,
and is the western manager of the
business of number of the leading in
surance companies of this country.
The case has been decided in MIR.
Wenie's favor by every court through
which it has passed, and the decision of
the Supreme Court places him in full
possession of the land.

struct the measure. Major Hudson was
at the reporters table as he has been for
several days. and his emissaries were
haunting the lobbies and waylaying talk
ing members from every point of van
tage in Post Office lobby as they went to
the closets and even at their seats on the
floor of the House. Every obstruction
was placed in the way of the bill, but
Mr.. Fitzgerald served notice that he
would stay with the directors all night.
and after hard fight secured further
hearing.
The minions of Major Hudson freely
scattered the printed resolutions of ''the
Topeka Typographical union," which
was not endorsed by the united unions
at all, but only by the few malcontents
who openly had resolved against 1.-The
Leavenworth Times, Kansas City Jour-
nal aud other rat papers, Every
obstacle has been placed in the way of
the bill, but as the opposition developed
the members awakened to the fact that
the good Majors following was of a
character needing watching and the
friends of the bill increased as the talks
proceeded.
The opposition were desperate, and at
midnight were frantically fighting
to have the committee ''rise." 1t was evi.
dent they would wear out the friends of
the bill if they could secure recognition.
At midnight the committee rose and the
public printer substitute was carried
midst cheers from victors, wry faces
from opposition. The vote was rs to
Is. This bill reduces the State Printer
fee by One-haf.
Just before noon Saturday, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, of Ford, after repeated efforts and
final demand, succeeded in getting the
substitute messaged to the senate, and
himself accompanied the chief clerk there
to take personal part in the fight. But
through the efforts of Major Hudson and
State Printer Snow and their friends the
bill was kept on the rack until after ten
o'clock Saturday night, when such pres
sure was brought 10 bear that it became
evident that a vote could not be avoided.
But during the wrangle which enslled
somebody had turned the clock hands
ahead an hour and twenty minutes. The
president of the senate looked at the clock
and declared that body adjourned, as by
concurrent resolution all legislation was
to cease at midnight. The bill was killed
and the state printer safe.
This was the only real reform measure
passed by either branch, and the member
from Ford has won the respect and admi-
ration of the whole state by the nerve and
executive ability shown in this fight.

Good For the Soldiers Home.

Topeka. March latter hard fight,
Representative Fitzgerald succeeded to-
night in getting his bill appropriating
s9l 900 for the State Soldiers Home at
Dodge City through the senate. II
originally carried an appropriation OF
SIZE, 900, but a reduction was necessary,
and as amended it passed. The fight
over this bill was one of the hardest OF
the session.
The above special was received at this
Office last Friday night few minutes
after the passage of the bill, and word
was passed along the line 1.-The Soldiers
Home is safe!'' Before ten O'Clock
Saturday morning the old veterans at the
Home knew what the legislature had
done, and the dependency which had
held sway in that institution for a week
gave way to general rejoicing. The first
action of the state senate on the bill had
given our people just cause for alarm,
and the liberal concessions allowed by
that body at Fridays conference came as
a big surprise.
While double this money could have
been advantageously used, the appropri-
alton made is considered sufficiently
large to meet all requirements. The
sum of $4,000 is to be used this year in
the construction of cottages, and if
wisely handled will be worth a thousand
times its face value to the cause for
which its use is provided.

CAPTAIN Sweeney Resigns.

Captain Sweeney has rendered to the
board of managers of the Fort Dodge
State Soldiers Home his resignation as
commaE liant of that institution. He was
solicited by the present board, comprised
wholly of populists, to take the position
upon the retirement Of Commandment
Reed. The board rendered him the ap-
pointment because they believed ihis for
mer experience would enable him to care
for the institution better than an inexper-
fenced man could do.
Captain Sweeney accepted the position
with the belief that it would be satisfac-
tory to western republicans and upon the
supposition that he would have at least the
moral support of the governor of the
state.
l; has developed, however, since the
appointment of Captain Sweeney that
Governor Morrill, has had this Office slated
for an Osborne county prOtege. Upon
learning that the governor would urge the
claims of the new man the present CON-
mandant promptly rendered his resigna-
ton. The board has used every argument
and offered every inducement to have the
Captain hold his position, but he makes
his -esignatian irrevOcable.
While he could have held the Office
twelve or eighteen months regardless of
the action of the governor, he considered

About Railroad Passes.

There is one act of Representative
Fitzgerald, as member of the legisla-
ture, which will commend him to all
citizens alike. We refer to the effort he
made last Saturday to get the House to
take up the Gardenhire anti-pass bill.
MIR. Fitzgerald's intimate friends know
that he was sincere in his attempt to
| force the measure Oh the House. and
though frustrated in his purpose the
position taken by our representative will
add largely to his meritoriOus service in
behalf of the masses.
The railroad pass business is worse
overdone in Kansas to-day than
calamity was four years ago. That is a
broad assertion, but the Santa Fe
officials statement that his road had
been held up for 5000 passes by the
present Legislature is the fact in evil
dence. That the railroads desire some
sort of an anti-pass law to Obviate the
burden that is biennially imposed upon
them is naturally inferred.
But the state is the principal sufferer.
As long as law maker can carry
pocket full of passes there is no likeli
hood of his taking very decided stand
for an equitable adjustment of railway
questions in the state. In accepting
favOrs at the hands of a corporation, if a
man, he must in measure feel morally
obligated to the donor.
The judiciary of Kansas is largely
bound to the railroads. by the same ties.
Last year all but three of the district
judges had free transportation over
Kansas roads. Though judge might
be incorruptible, as they all are supposed
to be by the electors who elevate them
to Office, yet it must be apparent to
ordinary intelligence that judge who
asks and is granted free passes must in
some degree feel under obligations to
the corporation. If he did not. he would
not be much of man. Whether or not
his relations with the railroads in this
respect affect the interests of the public
is question which must be left to the
reader for solution.
All the blame must not be attached
to railroad companies. just as long as
they will grant free passes the individ-
ual will ask for them. And just as long
as the law maker can get them he is not
going to show an active spirit in adjust
ing problems of traffic in way that will
conflict with the railroads wishes.
With these Facts before the reader. to-
gether with the knowledge that the rail-
roads had at the capital this session the
the ablest and most active set of lobbyists
ever sent there to prevent legislation in
imical to them. he cannot fail to appreci
ate and commend this one service due
the people attempted by Mr.. Fitzgerald
in the line of duty. And though his
effort failed. the people will feel none
the less kindly toward him.

Bartlett Appointed.

Geo. V. Bartlett received telegraphic
Information Monday of his appointment
by Governor Morrill, to the position of
state forestry commissioner, and will
take charge of the work next Monday
morning.
Mr.. Bartlett was superintendent of the
Dodge City station during the years of
its infancy, besides holding the state
commissionership for brief period
prior to the reign of the ''first peoples
party government on earth. The
manner in which he cared for the station
and his work i'm behalf of forestry was Il
credit to himself and benefit to western
Kansas.
Mr.. Bartlett is thoroughly educated in
this line of work, and his selection
means an honest and thorough develop
ment of a matter in which the people
here are deeply interested. The ap-
preparation secured by Mr.. Fitzgerald is
sufficient to carry out the commissioner
progressive ideas.
Joe E. Mellecker, who has for the
past year been in charge of the Dodge
City station, demonstrated under the
most adverse difficulties that he is a
practical and successful tree grower
Under his conscientious administration
the station has not suffered in the least.
IL.
publican appointed to the position Mr..
Mellecker would be the choice of the
people.
