THE TEXT BOOK BILL.
House LabOring, with 1t, but Has
Made Almost No Prog
-. ress ns Yet.

~ ress as Yet.
Topeka, Kas.. March 3.-(Special) The
text book bin came up for consideration
in the house to-day on special order. The
bill provides for maximum prices for books
and optional district ownership. 1t has al
ready passed the senate.
The house did not get through with the
first section to-day. Representative Mar
tin, of Clay. wanted an amendment added
to prohibit any member Of the Legislature
from holding Il position on the proposed
text book board. This was lost.
Representative LobdeIl. of Lane, moved
that the state board of education consti-
ftute the. text book board instead of a spe-
ciai board of eight members. appointed by
the governor He said that this would keep
the schools out of politics, and that better
service would be secured. He also said it
would be in the interests OF economy. The
Populists voted the amendment down.
Representative Fairchild. of kfngman,
moved substitute for the entire meas
ure a bill providing for compulsory county
uniformity and district ownership. After
considerable discussion, the substitute was
lost.
The provision that not more than fve
of the eight members of the state text book
board shall. belong to one political party
was killed. Thus the bill. II it becomes Il
law. will enable the administration to make
the board political machine.
While section was still under considers-
ttion. the house adjourned The bill will
come up again Tomorrow afternoon.

Topeka. Kas, March 3.-(Speclal) The
house attempted to get up a sensation this
morning TO offset the one of the senate
yesterday. but while ii was quite breezy,
II was only q side show compared with
the Titus-Jumper expose. IT came mp on
the Trueblood motion 10 reconsider the vote
by which the anti-oleo bill was passed sew
eral days ago. The Usage county repre-
sentative explained that ne made the mo-
tion to revive the bill out of courtesy to
some who voted against II. and who
claimed they did not get a square deal. A
motion was promptly made to lay the mo-
tion TO reconsider on the table. Since the
defeat of the bill vast number of petit
lions have been received from various sec
lions of Kansas demanding that the bill
he passed. Johnson, of Labette, started
the bail by openly declaring that the peti-
dured the petition which purported to come
from his county and analyzed ii. He
showed that seven of the names We're those

not residents Of the county. He charged

A GREAT REMEDY
For sufferers From piles.

DIR. Redmond. a specialist in the study
and treatment of Piles and rectal diseases,
recently stated that the Pyramid Pile Cure.
the new discovery for the cure of piles,
was the most remarkable remedy he had
ever seen and tried in one respect; and
that was, the instant relief experienced in
all cases, no matter how severe. from the
moment the remedy was applied; this was
the more surprising to him, because he
had carefully analyzed the preparation and
no trace of opium, cocaine or similar poison
could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rap
idly taking the place of surgical operations
and because It is SO simple. so easily ap-
piled and contains no mineral or other poi
sons so commonly used in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
pile cure not only cures the various forms
of piles. but never fails to give immediate
relief on the first application. no matter
low severe the pain or discomfort may be
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often astonished at the instant

POP SENATORS As GHoULs.
Freight Rate Corpse, hut
score Failure.

Topeka, Kas March 3.-(Special.) The
Populist senators made an effort in caucus
tonight to resurrect the maximum freight
rate corpse, but found 1T slow work. The
caucus was called for the purpose of get
ting the Populist senators in line for more
vicious railroad legislation. After a pre-
liminary conference, motion not to con-
cur in the house amendments to the Harris
bill was carried by a vote of Is to 10. Then
Senator Helmick called attention to the
fact that it was now SO late in the session
that new bill or another conference would
be of little avail. He suggested reconsid-
Grafton of the action to non-concur, and
his motion carried. Then someone sug-
gested adding to the Harris bill the sched-
ule of rates fixed two years ago. All of
the members appeared to be for that prop
osition. but when vote was taken 1t was
I3 to 10 against II.
This left the senators footloose. and for
two hours there was an informal confer
ence. While no agreement was reached as
general understanding that the senate will
ultimately concur in the house amend
ments. An effort will be made to have a
joint caucus Thursday evening to agree on
notifications. The members who were
elected on railroad pledges say is the best
thing they can get. it
Senator W. A. Harris was very angry to-
day over the action of the house in utter
ing its loud protest against the Harris bill.
The bill to which the protest was addressed
was not the Harris bill, as Harris claimed.
Senator Harris called some of the men,
bers to account for their action and point
ed out that his bill contained the very
clause for which the house was contend
ing. He said the protest against his bill
was put QUITO hurt him with the people
of the state. He was promised by Speaker
Street and Chairman Brown that the wrong
would be corrected, but they were busy dis
cussing a hedge fence bill and no correc-
ton was made.

PETER YELLs TRAITORS"
Declares In His Paper That Some Pop.
uIIst Legislators Have BE-
truyed Their Coustituents.

Topeka, Kas, March 3.-tSpeciall Sena-
tor PETER editorially in his paper to-day
takes the Populist legislators to task Sc
yerely as follows:
.'The Pepulists of certain districts in
Kansas nave sent men to the legislature
who are more nearly Republicans than
Populists. They have sent some men who
vote with the Republicans on every ques-
ton in which the interests of corporations
are involved Readers can readily learn by
reading this weeks legislative report who
these men are. 1t is not necessary now for
the Advocate to do more than call atten-
ton to these mems records. The people are
in that frame of mind which will insure
their consignment TO an early political
grave No one can help but have supreme
contempt for men who wilfully betray the
very people who have entrusted them with
power. In justice to those who are trying
to do their duty. IL should be said that a
large majority of the Populists have been
faithful. but there are enough traitors to
block a great deal of good legislation.
AT the close of this session the Advo-
cate will publish in comprehensive form
a record of the vote of every legislator on
every question in which the party issues
were directly or Indirectly affected. 1t will
also unhesitatingly point out the traitors
who under the guise OF Populism fooled the
people into sending them to the legislature.
1t will also give due credit to every one
who has faithfully done his duty. 1t is time
that the people were adopting measures
which will effectually prevent men en-
trusted with power at their hands from
ignoring the interests of the whole people
and voting with corporations. The day
of reckoning Is near at hand and the peo-
pie should, as they doubtless will. hold
every one of their .traitorous members to a
strict accounting for betrayal OF their IN
terests
EARLY in the session rule should have
been adopted providing that Immediately
after the chaplain's prayer in each house
the P,pulist platform should be read every
day. TOO many members do not know
| what Is in IT." = %s-f-

HARD GRIND IN THE HOUSE.
Weary Members Labored with Appro-
priation Bills All Day-Immi-
grafton Veto Overridden.

Washington. March S.-The weary legis-
lators Of the house. after snatching few
hours sleep after the recess at 3 o'clock
this morning, met again at 10 o'clock and
continued the work of closing up the busi-
ness of the session. All day and all night
they labored. oblivious to the sightseers
who swarmed through the rotunda and
main corridors. making communication be-
tween the two houses almost impossible.
The crowds packed the galleries until the
occupants were hardly able to breathe.
The dreary grind of routine business was
almost uninteligible to them. but they
held their places tenaciously for hours.
The hall was filed with the indescribable
hum of their conversation. which made
dull background for the high pitched voice
of the reading clerk. Occasionally the
monotony was relieved by a snarp skirm-
ish, but the chairmen of the committees
i'm charge of the appropriation bills held
their own and step by step advanced their
bills to the final stages. Chairman Cam
non fought like a trojan during the day.
BY tremendous majority. the house vot-
ed 1893 to 81, to override the presidents
veto of the immigration bill.
a night session was held and reports re-
ceived and acted upon as they came from
conference committees. At $50 Thursday
morning the conference report on the sun
dry civil appropriation bill was agreed to
and the house took a recess for one hour.

him what he wanted. Senator Quay said
that he wanted the house TO refuse to ac-
cept the amendment and that those who
wanted other appropriation bills to pass
would get squeezed II there was no change
in the armor plate provision of the naval
bill
During the proceeding a clerk brought in
and laid upon Senator Quay's desk the
famous speech which he used in tariff de-
bate of 1894. but which was never wholly
delivered. 1t looked for a time as If the
two remaining appropriation bills. sundry
civil and deficiency, would be defeated, but
at 12:15 Senator Quay said that. as the
naval bill had passed, no good could be
accomplished by fighting the other bills
and he will not make any more opposition
to them.
The discussion of the labor commission
bill was then resumed. and was still in
progress at midnight. There were at that
hour no vacant seats in the gallery. which
had been crowded all the evening. as had
the corridors leading to them. There were
many representatives Of the diplomatic
corps in the diplomatic gallery during the
evening. and their interest in the proceed
ings did not appear to diminish with the
progress of time. Many of them were ac-
companied by their wives. and all the gen
tlemen in this gallery were In fun dress,
as were also some Of the senators and
many of the auditors in the senates pri-

QUAY TRIES FILIBUsTERING.
Threatened Two Appropriation Bills
for n Time, hut Finally
Subsided.

Washington. March 3.-This is practically
the last working day of the senate and
there was the usual hurry to carry various
measures to their final legislative state. Re
ports were received from time to time on
the pending conferences on appropriation
bills, seven of them still being in the bal
ance The postoffice and fertilization bills
were cleared out of the way early in the
day, but five remained uncompleted at 3
o'clock and two at midnight. number OF
minor bills were passed during the day
Late in the day Mr.. Chandler made an in
effectual effort to refer to committee the
credentials of Henry Heitfield: the new
senator from Idaho. This, foreshadowed
contest and had the credentials been re-
ferred some question might have arisen as
to Mr.. Heitield's being sworn In to-mor-
row..
shortly after the news reached the senate
tonight that the house had agreed to
amendments of the senate fixing the price
of armor plate at $500 per ton, Senator
Quay began u series of filibustering mo-

proceedings, such as the announcement Of

senator would make the point of no

OPT Azp BILL oHEArHnkE Of

Jefferson City, Mo-, March s.-(specisa)
A delegation of Kansas City officials. com.
posed of Mayor j. NJ, Jones, Superintend-
-ent of Buildings Wallace Love. Aldermen
P. 9. Brown, w. W. Morgan. l.. K. 'Wyne
and H. C. Morrison, and Chief of the FIRE
Department George C. Hale, arrived in this
city this morning. They came here to OPP
pose the senate bill creating the office OF
license commissioner in Kansas City and
St. Louis, SO far as its application TO Kan
sas City is concerned They talked with
nearly all the senators and showed them
that passage of the bill with the amend
ment made by Senator Young making 1t
apply TO Kansas City would be an injus-
tice.
After the house adjourned a conference
was held with the members from Kansas
City and Jackson county. at which the Wis
itors urged the passage of the Spoford bill
giving to Kansas City one-third of the
dramshop fund collected within the city
limits to be used in the construction and
maintenance of parks and boulevards.
County Counselor James A. Reed also ap-
peared before the committee. He said he
had been instructed by the county court to
come TO Jefferson City to oppose the Spot
ford bill. He argued that the bill would
not become law because it would result
N.'Under the present law" said Mr.. Reed.
"two-thfrds of the dramshop fund must be
expended upon the county roads. This bill
proposes to take the other one-third. which
is being used to help defray the expenses
of the county, out Of the general revenue
fund and give it to Kansas City. The coun-
ty is now behind somewhere between $4,000
and 100000 and this bill will take at least
$65, 900 away from it and thereby greatly
increase the deficit. If it is passed the as
sessment will have to be Increased in order
to raise the necessary funds to meet the
deficit. As most of the taxes are paid in
Kansas City, It will be as broad as 1t is
long. What is obtained from the dramshop
fund will have to be taken out Of the
pockets of the people in the shape of in
creased taxes" !.
After. a general discussion of the bill.
Colonel Crisp said that Mr.. Spofford was
absent in Kansas City, and that he would
oppose any action upon 1t until his return.
The visiting officials informed the members
of the Kansas City and Jackson county del
egation that the sentiment in Kansas City
upon the Spofford bill was almost unani-
nous in favor of its passage.
