mhe Legislature.

j The fifty days for which members
Of the legislature can draw pay are
drawing to close and so far nothing
Of any Importance has been done. All
kinds of ''reform" measures have been
introduced, amended, sent from one
committee to another and rehashed,
only to go through the same routine
second time. All kinds of bills rela-
tive mortgages and interest have come
up for discussion, but so far none of
them have seemed satisfactory. There
is one thing gentlemen, you must bear
in mind, and that is you cannot help
the debtor class of people by the enact
ment of laws that makes the collection
of debts more difficult and complex.
The simplest and easiest Way to reduce
interest is to remove the exemption
laws and make collections easier and
more certain. When man loans his
money, he figures on the amount of in
terest he is to receive, also the amount
of trouble and expense he may be put
to, to collect his money when it be-
comes due, hence the cast of chattel
mortgages and other liens. AS it is
now, a man who is considered good"
gets money at 10 per cent on his per-
sonal note, while his neighbor who has
but 100 acres of land and small
amount of stock, pays from Is to "a
per cent, besides going to the expense
of paying notary public for drawing
up a chattel mortgage.

mrouble in the House.

i Wednesday, the populist majority
in the lower house of the legislature
undertook to appoint committee
with power to revise the calender so as
to put all the pet reform bills at the
top in such manner as prevent any
action on bills introduced by republic
cans. AS ii takes a two thirds vote to
change the house rules, and as the
pops had not the necessary votes to do
this, the republicans proceeded to
check them in their nefarious scheme
by demanding roll call. For awhile
trouble seemed imminent, but Senator
Harris and Others of the more SEN
sible pop members of the legislature
appeared on the scene and succeeded
in convincing Representative Weilup
who was in the chair that the republic
cans were right in their demands and
the reformers releculantly gave in.

have placed at the head Of great edu-
cational institution a man who, les
than two years ago was publicly dis
charged from the same place by le-
gally constituted tribunal because Of
his drunkenness and immortality, inn
peached because Of his evil and vicious
example. You have given this man
place and power whom you know to be
ignorant, Incorporate and irreliglous;
obscene, vulgar and immoral; profane
uneducated, and intolerant. You
have with autocratic power, and an
archistic disregard for the forms of law
which, with uplifted hand you swore
to protect, set them at defiance, tram
pied upon the verdict and judgment
of regularly constituted court, taught
the doctrine of disregard for law and
the judgment of courts and rendered
yourself the subject of contempt from
the people whose sovereign ruler you
have proven yourself unworthy to be.
There is no honest excuse for your con-
duct. You did it knowingly, willfully
and purposley. You have by this act
merited the condemnation your con-
duct will receive. Within and among
the files of your office is the abundant
record of this mans unftness. You
knew it from the records when you
made the appointment; you. knew it
from the numerous protests you re-
ceived from reputable Populists from
his own county; you knew it as part
of the history of the state, and yet,
with total disregard for the welfare Of
the state and her institutions, you de-
fled public opinion, ignored the inter-
ests of an outraged but deceived and
intelligent constituency, OVERRIDE the
law, trampled upon morals and COM
mon decency and invited criticism if
not aroused suspicion as to the motive
which prompted you to so far forget
your manhood and your position, You
have exhibited such an aversion for
decency as to forfeit all respect for
mothers who have sons to educate, all
fathers who have vote to cast and all
citizens who have pride in our insti-
buttons, and convince the most con-
firmed skeptic that there is something
in the doc Urine of total depavity when
applied to an accidental Governor of
Kansas. You will hear from the peo-
pie of Washington, whose feelings you
nave outraged and whose respect you
nave forfeited later.
With great respect for wrOnged
people and with many regrets for our
lssasinated educational institutions, l |

no ReSubmiSSiOn.

~ None of the political parties dared
monkey with the prohibition question
in their platforms last fall. The ques-
tion of resubmitting the matter to the
people at the general election in 1898,
came up one day this week, and the
vote showed 81 for and 81 against;
as it requires two-thirds vote of both
houses to resubmit tie question this
would indicate that the only way to
get this law off the statutes at present,
is by calling a constitutional conven-
tion, and the Indications are this will
not be done by the present legislature.

another Shot at Leedy.

Ia Railroad commissioner j. G. Lowe
democrat, who supported the fusion
ticket during the late campaign wrote
an open letter of Gov. Leedy under
date of February 18th, and amongst
other things has the following to say
to the fellow who quit farming, and.
in fact everything else, except poll
tics because che couldn't make a living
at it," as regards the appointment
VIM. Rogers as Regent of the State
University:
Gin your message you spoke earnest
ly, yes, almost affectionately, of our
great and growing public educational
institutions. You succeeded in i'm
pressing the people of the state that,
come what would those great institu-
tions would have a friend to protect
them during your incumbency. These
institutions are the pride of every Kan
san. Money is almost lavishly appro-
priated for their support and upbuild-
ing and they are made the basis Of all
prophecy as to our future greatness.
Kansas recognized that the true meas
ure of greanesss comes from properly
educated and directed intellects and
hence with what jealous care they
guard those places of learning where
their children are to receive those in
structions fitting them for the respon-
sibilities of an active and useful life.
They look to you as the guardian of the
character and morals of these schools
of learning. They have right to ex-
pect Of you, yes to demand, torequire,
to exact of you faithful, honest, impair
tial nonpartisan guardianship, and
were you but the smallest fraction OF
the man your position would indicate,
their expectations would not be in
vain. Your recent action in appoint
ing VIM. Rogers as regent of the state
university however stamped all your
utterances with the ineffaceable brand
of insincerity and falsehood. In such
action you threw off the hypocrtsical
mask of honesty you have been wear
ing and show yourself to be the verit-
able wolf of dishonesty, wholly I'M
mindful of the welfare of this great in
stitution of learning. In this appoint
ment you have done violence to your
oath, you have outraged decency, for
feited all claims to honesty and fair
ness, insulted the intelligence of the
people, and assasinated the greatest
educational interest of the state. You

business Depression.

- The general falling off Of bust
ness during tbs past few years has
been hard on business men as well as
on farmers. 1t is true, farmers are
making little or nothing, and it is
equally true of the man in business.
Business buildings as well as farm
property have deprecated in value.
The thing to do is to economize and try
and bridge over. We almost always
have good crop following wet win
ter, and it is to be hoped this year
will prove no exception to the rule.
Already money is getting easier in the
east, and if the legislature will repeal
the 'fool" law passed four years ago,
by the Populists, with the aid of the
Republicans, with reference to the
foreclosure of mortgages, farmers will
be enabled to renew their mortgages
at lower rate of interest, and many
of them will pull through and save
their farms. A legislature can make
the collection of debts difficult, but
can not compel a man to loan his
money. If farmers did not already
have their farms mortgaged, it would
make no difference, as no new loans are
being made, but many of our best far
mers have mortgages and at present
democratic prices are unable to pay
them off and must renew the mortgage
or lose the farm. Any law making the
recovery of money at law more difficult,
hurts the borrower and increases his
rate of interest.

Economy and reform"are the watch
Words at Topeka now, and the way
the legislature exemplified them the
other day was to cut the wages of the
teamster at one of the charitable insti-
buttons from $25 month to 800. 1t is
only fair to say that this great saving
to the tax payers was accomplished
solely by the Populists, as every Re-
publican voted to rob the people by
paying the man the full $25.-Iola
Register.

A CHASTITY FIND.
DecOmpOSed Remains of u White Man
Found in n Thicket.
They Were Identified a. Those of Travis
Boyd, of Lynnyille, Giles County,
Tennessee,

Last Friday about noon some men
blowing on the farm of Leonhard q
NOss. about p miles from Columbia
Oh the Pulaski pike, had their
attention attracted to small
thicket nearby by strong odor,
which they supposed came from the
dead body of some animal.
Investigation disclosed the re-
mains of a white man, in horrible
state of decomposition; he had
probably been dead about three or
four days. The coroner was notified
and went to the scene, but, as no
marks of violence could be found on
the body of the dead man, no inquest
was held, and an empty package
labeled "morphine," found lying by
his side, told the story of suicide. His
pockets were searched, but nothing
that would lead to his identity was
found. The only articles on his per-
son were a half loaf of bread, a green
apple, comb, handkerchief, buck
eye and box of matches. All at
tempts to identity him proving
futile, the coroner ordered that his
remains be inferred in the pOtter's
field, supposing him to be a tramp.
Saturday morning DR.. w. T. Rich
ardson, of this city, came in from a
trip to Lynnville, and hearing a
description of the dead man, thought
possibly that he might be one
Travis Boyd. who had mysteriously
disappeared from his home in Lynn
vile on Sunday, June 20. DIR. Rich
ardsOn sent for Boyd's brother, and
Saturday evening he and his
brother in-law, John Lavender,
came to town and had the remains
disinterred and identified them as
those of his brother.
Boyd was about 20 years of age,
and his family, though poor people,
are much respected in the COM
munity where they live. He at
tempted suicide once before about
5years ago, by taking morphine
His mind had been unbalanced for
several years, but it was thought
for a while before his death he was
getting all right. He married some
time during last April, and several
weeks ago his wife became danger
ously ill and he was told that she
could not possibly recover, He was
very attentive to her wants, and on
Sunday, June 20, after giving her
medicine and watching over her
bedside until midnight, he told his
mother-in-law that he was going out
and would be back in a few min
utes. He failed to return, however,
and the family becoming alarmed
over the fact that a bottle of NOR
phlne and a razor had disappeared
at the same time that Boyd did, had
the woods searched the two days
following, but no trace of him could
be found and nothing was heard of
him until last Saturday. His wife
died on Friday, June %.

Bill Got His Gun.

William Pratt-cOmmonly known
by the abbreviation of Bill-created
quite a commOtion on East Seventh
street last Saturday afternoon by
filling the air with balls discharged
from a 22-calibre rifle. A crowd of
negro boys had been rocking a flock
of geese in which Bill had an inter-
est, when he became angry and
tried to stop them. Bruce Gray,
one of the boys, showed fight, and
then Bill went after his gun and for
awhile kept things quite lively, but
fortunately he had imbibed a little
too freely to take good aim, and so
no one was hurt. Both contestants
were arrested and Bill was arraigned
for trial before Judge Erwin Monday
morning, and fined $2l.
