The legislature convenes at Topeka
next Thursday and the populists vii
be in full control of the government
of Kansas in all its branches, eXecu
tive, legislative and judicial. If tn,
members from this county are any cri
teriOn to 60 by, the legislature will bt
conservative one. The reason the
moneyed people are afraid of the popu
lists, consists more in what they say
than in what they do. During politi
cal campaigns when people, from
various causes, find themselves in
hard luck, are demanding some easy
solution for their disorders and neg.
lect their work and ride for miles to
listen to their leaders expound the
populist doctrines, expect to be re,
warded with the promise of way out
if said party is victorious in the elect
ion, consequently they must not
be wholly ignored, as their votes will
be needed in the next election, there
fore numerous bills are introduced,
which if put into OBJECT would be
the means of giving these misled
fellows something for nothing. These
bills will not be passed as they are in
PRODUCED simply for buncomb and the
poor cuss who expects to have the leg
islature help reduce his Indebtedness
is in the soup once more. Eastern
people are the only ones who get fool
ed by this bait. 1t is true that mon
ey is close just at present and will
remain so till after the legislature
adjourns, when everything will go
along as usual. Talk is cheap and as
long as the populists were in the mi
nority, they could promise all kinds of
reforms" but now that they have
the responsibility of running affairs
Of Kansas, and having benefited by
the mistakes of the Lewelling admin
istration, we look to see them 90
along in a much more conservative
manner than their campaign speeches
would Indicate.

The school book question will come
up for adjustment by the present leg
islature. There Is one question on
which all agree, school books cost too
much money. Not only are the prices
of the books too high, but they are
mixed up by the different districts in
such a manner as to make it necessary
for a family to get new outfit of
books every time it moves from one
district to another, and as it is the
renter and poorer class of people who
move oftenest, it is they who suffer
most. Two plans of uniformity sug-
gest themselves as plausible, one is
for the state to print its own books
and furnish them to the school dis
trictS at cost and the other is to ap-
point a school book commissioner
whose duty it shall be to confer with
the different book concerns and make
the best possible contract for furnish
ing school books for the public schools
of Kansas. If one firm could get the
contract to furnish all the books for
the state they would do it at one half
the price paid now for the same books
This would be much better for the
bookseller as instead of carrying a ST.
900 stock of books in order to supply
all the different districts with their
different books, a small stock of one
kind of books could be carried and
sold at smaller margin. This ques-
ton will come up at this session of the
legislature and if you have any sug-
gestion to make on the subject. write
to Senator Farrelly or Representative
Jones, at Topeka, in regard to this
matter.

The legislature that convenes next
Tuesday will have a United States
Senator to elect, and as the populist
are in the majority they will elect a
populist. John W. Brldnthal the
present bank commissioner is a can
didate for the place. Mr.. B. is the
leader Of his party, is good business
man and one of the most careful and
painstaking bank commissioners Kan
sas has ever had, and if the populist
do not elect him to the Senate we
shall consider them very ungrateful
indeed. We believe that our populist
brethren are tired of a man whose
only CLAIM to reelection. is that he
has introduced more Crazy impossi-
BILE bills and made more idiotlc speech
es than anybody.

CONDEMN MORRILL,.
Temperance People of Kansas
Disguised With His Course.

Topeka, Kansas Jan. 4.-The Good
Templays begin series of temperance
revival meetings here tonight for the
purpose of arousing public sentiment
for the enforcement of the prohibitory
law. Major G. A. Bateman, of Law
renee, grand chief templar of the state
organization, will be here to assist.
Practically no effort is being made by
the officials to enforce the law here,
and as result liquor is openly sold.
The temperance people are very bitter
toward Governor Morrill, on account
of his vacillating course in prohibition
matters, and especially for his allow
ing liquor to be sold here under his
very nose, and it is said his admins
tration will be vigorously condemned.
The above is taken from Mondays
Kansas City World, not that there is
any reason in the course pursued by
the temperance people, but to show
their fallacy. In 1880 when the pres
ent prohibitory law was passed it was
championed by the republican party,
and on a prohibition platform st. John
was defeated for governor, Though NOM
mated and supported by his party, in
1882. The republicans still stuck to
prohibition and regained power in
1884, and at each legislative session
thereafter they did all in their power
to make the law stronger and provide
for its enforcement. The law itself is
not so bad, but the governor cannot be
at each town and see to its enforce
ment. Governor Morrill, is a temper
ance man, and during the first year of
his administration appointed assistant
attorney generals at different points |
in Kansas and caused a considerable |
sum of money to be spent in an at
tempt to enforce this law, but finally
he came to the conclusion that it was
an almost useless expenditure of mon
ey in the towns and communities
where the local sentiment was oppos-
ed to the enforcement of the Law, and,
on the other hand, where commune
ties favored the law they did uot need
any outside help, as this particular
law wat enforced on par with other
laws.
Mr.. Morrill, was frank about the
matter and stated his opinion open
and above board. Three-fourths of all
the people of the state agreed with
him, and yet small minority, who
want to rule or ruin and who can't
agree among themselves on anything,
come out under the name of Good
Templars and denounce the governor
of great state.
E. N. Morrill, is a temperance man,
pure and simple, and has done much
to enforce the present law, but finding
it impossible to do so, has quietly
turned the job over to the local au-
thorities, where it properly belongs.
If these gOody-goodies want odo any
thing, let them get after the local Off
GERS whom they have elected to en-
force all the laws alike and who have
held their right hand upward toward
God and sworn to do so.
These side-show organizations de-
feated Gov. Morrill, and the republican
party, and in so doing they defeated
the only party that ever agreed to or
tried to do anything for temperance
in Kansas.

One thing is certain: 1t will not do
to fool with a bad cold. No one can
tell what the end will be. Pneumo-
mia, catarrh, chrUEic bronchitis, if not
consumption, invariably result from
a neglected cold. 1t is surprising too,
that bad colds are so often neglected

at what a expense they may be
cured. Chamberlains Cough Remedy

WOMAN AND HOME.
ABOUT MRS. M'KINLEY.
Personality of the Coming Mistress of ths
WhIfa HOuap

Personality of the Coming Mistress of tho
White House.
The personality of the wife of the
president-elect becomes a matter of
wide public interest now that she is
destined to preside as mistress of the
white house for four years, beginning
March next. For the following facts
about her the New York Journal is in
debted to Maj. MclSinley's brother,
Abner Mckinley, who resides in that
city.
In the first place it should not be sup
posed that Mrs. Mckinley will be un-
able to attend to her social duties,
which will naturally be many.
"I wish to correct the absurd rumor
that she will not be able to preside as
mistress of the white house." said Mr..
Mckinley. "She is in better health
now than she has been in years, and
will fill her position ably. Mrs. McKin-
ley is well enough to attend to every
necessary duty in Washington, and
many that are not necessary. While
not n brilliant society woman in Il but
terhy sense, she has always moved in
the highest society, and always with
credit to herself. She is perfectly ca
pable Of holding her own in Washing
| ton.
"Mrs. Mckinley is a very charitable
woman. She is extremely liberal. She
gives often and freely without appar-
emily knowing any stint in her giving
She is an unselfish giver."
"What form does her charity take ?'
"She gives anything she has. Flow
ers, if she has them, fruits, money
kindness, anything she has at her dis.
! posal.
Mrs. Mckinley is not club woman
in the sense of strong-minded wcmen's
clubs. But she belongs to everything
organized for women, to fruit ano
flower societies, to missionary So
cieties, to sewing circles, and she iden
titles herself with fairs and donation
parties, and with all charitable and re
ligious enterprises having a good pur
pose to serve. do not believe that she
has any objection to political clubs fol
women, although she is not actively
identified with women's movement:
Us such.
Mrs. Mckinley is active in church
work. In Canton she attends the First
