Morton has given another proof OF his submis'
sion to the orders of Mr. Platt

Some strong points against the constitution
atty of the Raines law were presented 10 the
Court Of Appeals yesterday by Mr.. Choate lie
contended that the Legislature had no right 10
ignore the classification of cities made by the
new Constitution, as it did in providing differ
ent tax in each of the cities of New-York, Brook
lyn and Buffalo and held that the bill should
have been submitted to the Mayor of every city
affected by IT, Another of Mr.. Choates argu-
ments was that the Legislature had no power
to divert public moneys except by two-thlrds
vote. He also denounced the inequality OF the
tax levied in different parts Of the State. what
Mr.. Choate said apparently made deep I'M
preston on the Judges. Their decision on this
important law will be awaited with an I'M
usual degree Of interest.

The woman question was promptly forced on
tbe attention of the Methodist General Confer
ence which opened in Cleveland yesterday, and
IN the preliminary struggle the women won an
advantage. The names of four were on the roll
as law delegates with properly attested creden-
tails and Bishop Bowman, who presided, ruled
that they were rightly there until the organiza-
ton of the Conference was completed Later
the general subject was referred 10 Commit

on Monday Whatever the decision of the COM
mittee. the question will then be thrown open
for debate and an animated discussion will be

win this year. but when the next Conference
meets, in 1900, they will undoubtedly have ma

with the purchase OF the franchise that stands IN

That Mouth Of Dick Blues.

Dick Blue, who represents the
whole State Of Kansas" was quite
anxious to have Governor Smith of the
Soldiers Home at LeaVenworth re-
moved. His attempts to get the Board
Of Managers to remove him were un-
successful, and he then directed his
efforts to getting the personnel of the
board changed. Manager Frsnklln's,
one of the members, term is about to
expire, and Blue opened his fight on
him. He was successful to the extent
that he got the House committee in
charge of the matter to report against
the resppointment by vote Of to 4.
Blue was jubilant and referred to his
connection with the matter In very
bosstful spirit, although not in very
elegant language. In fact, he swore
quite violently in speaking of Smith
and Franklin, and was very profsne In
his references to those who were sup
porting them. His language became
so offensive and boisterous that it was
necessary to request him to retire from
the floor Of the House to the cloak
room.
This action on Blues part 80 In.
censed the friends Of the present man
sgement Of the home that they at once
set to work In a quiet way to undo
what had been done, and they sue
ceeded. The next day the committee
met, reconsidered their former action,
and recommended the resppointment
of Gen. Franklin. Blue fell down on
his own scheme by allowing his mouth
to 60 off before the proper time ar
rived. This is a fair sample of the
judgment and ability of the bombsstic,
loud.mouthed redeemer who preteDds
to represent Kansas and who sue.

political prestige. The Mayor would
then gladly assist the telephone people
in getting new, and to them, salts
factory franchise. This may not work,
but it is q sample of how things are
done In old party circles.
Two Douglas county farmers are
under arrest for securing money under
false pretenses. They would haul
corn to town, sell it to buyer, have it
weighed on the city scales, and after
getting the Weigher's check would
take the corn to another buyer to sell
it. Later the weigh check given by
the city weighmaster would be pre-
sented to the first buyer, and they
would again receive pay for the same
load.
The Republican papers are printing
a story about Mrs. Tucker of Ottawa
county, who wrote Goodbye. Old
Party, Goodbye" tying her husband
to tree, severely whipping him and
leaving him to half freeze. 1t is not
within the knowledge of the ADvo'
GATE whether an Ottawa county
woman did participate in such an
affair, but it does know that, If 1t is
true, it is not the Mrs. G. Ingersoll
Tucker who has been identified with
Populist politics
The Capital gives the following as
guess on the State ticket by prOmi-
nent Populist who is travelling over the
State: Chief Justice, r, A. Ssnkey,

ticket. The convention will, however,

GOOD THING TO HAVE.
There Are Many Reasons Why Cart
Should BE on Every Farm.

rhere Are Many Reasons Why n Car,
Should BE on Every Farm.
There are very few farms in this
country where Il cart may be found,
and yet one of these vehicles is very
handy thing to have about many times
in a year. There is some sort of a
prejudice against cart, that has no
good foundation. A cart with cart
harness and sober horse will often
take the place of team and wagon, and
Mt any time of the year when small
load is to be hauled one horse can do
the work, If cart is ut hand, instead of
going 10 the trouble of hitching up two
horses.
For hauling seed to the field, or ma
nure, where little is needed, or for any
other light work, n cart is better than
double team. For hauling in such
crops as potatoes, for hauling feed TO
and fro for the stock, and for many
other purposes, a cart may be used
to save using double team and a two
horse wagon. This makes it a matter
oil economy, and there is hardly farm
in the country where cart would not
pay for itself many times over.
A cart that has the bed so arranged
that the load can be dumped is the
handiest form to have it made in, us
the load can be dropped, whether it be
potatoes or cordwood or coal, by simply
tipping it out. If the cart be made with
wide tires, it can be taken over places
with good load on it where an ordi-
nary wagon could hardly be hauled by
two horses.
The writer knows from experience
how much labor and wear and tear of
team and wagon is saved by having
cart to hitch to when light loads are to
be hauled, and knows that they arc
economical in time, tools and labor
