POP SENATORS POLITE.

They Listened to Gov. Morrill's Message
Instead of Rushing to the Cloak Rooms.
At 8: So yesterday the reading of Gov
ernor MOrrilPs message was commenced
in the senate. The reading was done by
three clerks in turn. The clerks have
improved considerably, for although
Governor Morrill's message was larger
by several hundred words than Mr.. Lew
elling's. its reading ocucpied ten minutes
less, being completed at 4:50 The mes
sage was listened to not only by the Re-
publicans but the Populists as well with
the closest attention. This was in marked
contrast to the manner in which many
Republican senators treated Gov. Lew
elling's message.
There was no applause during its read
ing however, even at its close. which was
in marked contrast to the enthusiasm
which it received in the house.
The resolution was referred to the com
mittees most appropriate to its various
sections.

TOO PROUD TO BEG.
Kansas Senators Don't Want Any Charity
From Sister States.

The resolution to reject offers from
Wyoming to aid suffering people in
western Kansas failed to be adopted in
the senate yesterday. It was referred to
the committee on state affairs. The
Populists said the resolution was senti-
mental and showed a false pride, while
the Republicans said they were tired of
having everybody on earth feel sorry for
Kansas, especially when she is abund-
antly able to take care of herself. The
legitimate result of the ashamed of
Kansas" idiocy popular among a certain
class of silly partisans lately, no doubt is
responsible for good deal of the 'sorry
for Kansas" feeling in other states.
Senator Brown said Kansas did not
need help from anyone. Senator Will
cockson who lives farther west than any
other senator. thought the telegram came
to Kansas by mistake. 1t must have been
intended for the governor of Nebraska
Senator Taylor was opposed to Kansas
having the name of requiring help
when her people are as well off as
those of any other state.
Senator Shearer of Marshall county.
was opposed to the resolution. He said
people in western Kansas are starving
and needed fuel besides. All those who
were able have gone back to "the ir
wives relatives" in the east already, he
said.
Senator Sem said the question of
whether or not people in western Kan :
sas were able to take care of themselves
cut no figure. 1t is a question of wheth-
er or not they do take care of them
selves. He expressed regret that so
much money was sent out of Kansas ev-
cry year for missionary purposes while
there is restitution at home
Senator Brown said if there were peo-
pie in Kansas who failed to make
enough to eat it was because they were
too shiftless and lazy to make living.

it is beginning to bo the solitary tourist
who is conspicuous. A novel woman's
club illustrating this tendency TO travel
on tho mutual benefit plan has existed
an an interior city since last July. 1t is
composed of eight members and meets
twice q month. The itinerary of travel
has been carefully made up, and tho
meetings are for II thorough study of tho
places which arc included in il. They
are also for the important purpose Of
raising tho necessary funds. Each mem
Der pays an assessment at each meeting.
and it is expected that the necessary
amount will be forthcoming by May,
when the party will sail. Rates Of trav.
eel and living abroad are carefully in
quired into and compared, and the min

health considered, is hoped to be
achieved on the journey. Next year,
after tho return, it is proposed to con-
