DUTY or PoPULIsTs AND DEMOCRATS
Al today's session OF the lower house
enal action will be taken on house bill
las, relating 10 school lands II IS i'm
perStive that every member Of the
house fully considers this measure be-
fore casting his final vote. House bill
i4s, IS amended and engrossed, is want
ing in many particulars; in other re-
spects il ia sensible and practicable
The two most Objectionable features
Of the measure are the FIRST section,
providing for the management OF
leases and care of the school fund; the
other is that section relating To the
appraisement OF school lands by town.
ship assessors. The appointment OF
three directors, at salary OF 81, zoo
each per Annum, will inevitably lead
70 discord, while on the other hand q
non-partisan board OF appeals, supple
mented with a commissioner OF school
lands. would be step in the right di-
reetion The recommendation OF the
Joint conference committee respecting
this feature is the only practical solu-
tion OF school land management
Its adoption means good politics and
the preservation OF the school fund
1t means also that Democrats and
Populists would still figure under q
Republican administration and protect
the fund from Republican politicians
who will attempt 10 use it for cam
pAign purposes. The joint-committee's
report on appraisement of lands is
also the best for the school fund and
lessees and should be substituted for
the section recommended IN Doyle's
bill.
IL is a we'll known fact that the
strongest lobby in the city today is
that inspired ostensiblY by school
land lessees 1t is also well-known
that certain Republicans, headed by
w. 4. Walker, ct al are behind THE
lobby, The Republicans have not al
heart the preservation OF the school
fund, Their aim is to prevent school
land legislation, in order that they
may step in and gobble the school
land affices and the fund shortly after
Mckinley is inaugurated II is their
keenest desire that house bill las NAV
be made so Objectionable to the eoun-
ell that hght win arise, resulting in
no legislation at all
No legislation means pie for Repub-
leans
Let the members OF the house get
together, be temperate and conserva-
tIve in their views and relax trihe.
Any other course means death TO
coalition and the utter route Of both
Democrats and Populists

The first legislature lRepublicau)
was in session three months befU a
measure Of Importance was passed.
The third legislature Unanimously
Republican, was in session sixty days,
aud finally adjourned without accom-
plishing anything worthy Of mention.
rhe costs OF those sessions were
heayier far than the present body, and
should the present session fail to enact
another law, it would be fully as
great as any Republican body that has
vet assembled in Oklahoma -Oklaho-
ma City Oklahoman.

ED JEwErr AND CT LELAND
They Meet Casually In Kansas City and
Have TAX.

The Kansas City Journal yesterday
had the following:
There was a meeting Of prominent
Kansas Republicans at the Blossom
house yesterday morning. OF course. It
was all purely accidental" but every
thing CHANGED to fl.
Cy Leland came down with three car
leads of cattle. The cattle took break
fast at the stock yards, together with
great many other cattle. while Leland
had his breakfast az the Union Depot
hotel, accompanied by z. r. Jewett,
Harry Bone. Lit Crum and Newt Try.
Judge Jevett is now being referred to
as the Southwestern Kansas candidate
for collector of internal revenue. OF
course. he CHANGED 10 meet Leland here,
and was not looking after his chances
for that appointment. The judge has
taken all sorts of post graduate courses
in Sedgwick county politics and has had
a hand in state entanglements 10 some
extent. He claims To have the geog-
raphy of the situation; cannot believe
that the eastern half of the state will be
gwen everything, and in the event the
theory pans out ne thinks he has a show
to win. He has an eve and liking for
politics and this quality may be discov-
cred by the parties who have much 10
say Of politics at this time.
Harry Bone was putting in a few
whispers for assistant United States at
torney. He has been something of a
plugger for years for other fellows and
has concluded to plug just a little for
himself. He is trying TO break into the
Ike Lambert cart ana If he does viii

to catch some sound about United
States marshal. He IS not as certain
about il as he would like TO be, but fair

mister, would you be kind enough TO
give me couple Of bananas" said
ragged looking but very polite lad as he
walked up TO a North Main street fruit
stand.
Where are you going?" said the fruit
man as he handed the boy two of the
incest bananas in the bunch.
MY sister and 1 have started 10 Har-
risburg, III. 1 think we'll make it,
though it will take us long time
We've been on the road two months"
With this he thanked the fruit man and
taking his little sister by the hand ne
went on in a RAPID walk.
Becoming interested by the spright-
~, straightforward manner of the little
folks reporter accosted them.
Whats your name, boy?"
Robbie Doris. and this is my sister

Again the reporter tried 10 find out
something about the little fellows faith
er, but his voice would tremble a little
as he tried 10 answer without telling
anything.
He had his pony picketed out on the
grass some where south of town letting
him eat and get ready for the after
Moons journey.
How far do you travel il a day."
Seven or eight miles. Some times
more"
But he was ANXIOUS to get away and
as they walked down the street Robbie
kept pulling the torn places of his waist
together 10 protect himself from the
moi sun.

General NJ Clark. who knows more
soldiers than any other man in the Unit
ed States, and who is the last Of Grants
adjutant generals of the army Of Ten
nessee, is in the city. He began with
Grant al Belmont and stayed out four
years and eleven months. After the
war General Clark was a member OF
congress for four years. from Texas.
He now lives at Denver, but has head
quarters in Topeka as manager Of the
coal interests of the Santa Fe railroad
in Kansas.
When seen last night at his room in
the Carey and asked 20 tell some Of his
experiences where he served and when
he went out, he said.
Long before you were born, my boy,
in 81 I went out just as the other boys
went into that black fight. 1 stayed till
il was finished. It's influences financi-
ally and politically are projected into
this time, and already have cast their
shadows beyond the next generation"
General, do you think there is any
thing the matter with Kansas"
kansas? Its the best place in the
world fnacialIy and every other way.
But I'll tell you. l want the time 70
come when it Will be a crime for east
-ern capitalists to come in here and loan
money. An eastern capitalist or any
other, we want them TO stay out. II
was the fashion here once for a man 70
borrow money and have a mortgage on
his farm, and that's the curse OF this
country These fellows belabored the
state because it went for free silver and
said we were regulators and all that,
and now they are sneaking in here again
wanting TO loan money. ! am a Repub-
lican, but we don't need these money
lenders in Kansas. We are all right"
do you, as Republican, think Kan
sas needs any protection"
Yes, sir. When Hancock said that
tariff is a local issue, he spoke great
truth. But speaking about politics, the
big sugar trust has got this administra
ton by the neck. The end Of the cen
fury will bring another crisis. We have
one at the end of every hundred years.
At the close of the seventeenth Century
Charles Second had TO have his head cut
off. Az the end of the eighteenth there
was the French revolution, and at the
end of the nineteenth we'll have 10 wipe
out some OF the trusts"
Speaking about the coal interests Of
the state ne said that the Santa Fe paid
out about 5000 per month TO laborers
in the coal industry.
.Kansas miners are in better shape
than the miners of any other country in
the world"
