ulist members of the House held a
caucus last night and mapped out their
work for the session. The following,
with exception of the first, were adopted
without opposition:
Resolved, That 1t Is the sense of this

the civil service with partisans

and will resist all efforts to destroy our
greenbacks and treasury notes, whether
1t be by direct legislation or by the sub

except in exchange for gold.

any scheme Of enlarging the powers Of
national banks. That we oppose the
comforting of power to issue notes de-
signed to have the same functions as
money to any bank, corporation or In
dividual
Resolved, That we favor the early
consideration and passage Of a joint
resolution recognizing the independence
of the Cuban Republic.
Resolved, That we are in favor of

SHAWNEE TO BE SAVED.
Desperate Effort to be Made to Keep It in
the Republican Column,

What Is Charlie McCabe going to do
when his term as County Clerk expiresY
Is a question that has been asked Ia
Shawnee county almost as often as the
number of times the Kansas City papers
have discussed the probability Of an
extra session. To some persons outside
of Shawnee county 1t may be necessary
to explain that Mr. McCabe is the pres
ent County Clerk, that he Is known to
large majority Of the citizens OF the
county as Charlie" which means that
he can secure large vote locally; that
he Is young man who has been active
In the county politics for some years,
and that this term will soon expire.
Naturally, of course, great many
persons want to know what Charlie Nc
Cabe Ia going to do. II you go down. TO
the court house and ask, Mr.. McCabe will
whistle softly, 'Just tell them that you
saw me, and they will know the rest,
which Is part Of popular air, and popu-
lar airs never mean anything. The ADJ
vocate and News reporter has not seen
Mr.. McCabe, but he does know the rest
Charlie McCabe Is to receive the Re-
publican nomination for State Auditor
The above Is not intended for publica-
ton, but 1t has all been arranged. II
comes from leading Republican poll
tician of this county, who did not, how
ever, state 1t to an Advocate and News
reporter. He said, in the reporters
hearing, not knowing the reporter to be
a fact, that 1t had all been arranged by
the powers that be,
This is important as showing very
significant political fact. 1t means that
the Republicans are determined to make
strong effort to save Shawnee once
the banner Republican county Of the
banner Republican State in the union
from the ever-tlghtening cluthches Of
Populist majority Shawnee has been
content with the Lieutenant Governor
ship, but the nomination OK Charlie Nc
Cabe for State Auditor would be more
substantial recognition which would not
be antagOnl2ed by the other counties,
and surely no better qualified Moses
could be found than Mr.. McCabe. This
fixing of the matter at so early a date is
tribute to the Populist strength which
should make glad the adherents to that
party.

Unjust Discrimination Charged.

Mayor Loomis, of Winfield, has filed
complaint with the Board of Railroad
Commissioners in which IL Is charged
that the Santa Fe discriminates against
that city in freight charges. The com
plant sets forth that the rate on wheat
from Winfield to Galveston is q cents
per bushel, while the rate from Kansas
City to Galveston is only Is cents. It
is also set forth that the rate from Win
field to Perry, Okla, is "a cents per
hundred on first-class freight, while the
rate from Arkansas City is but 20 cents.
This, Of course, relates to interstate
commerce, and the board will simply
call the attention Of the management
of the road to the complaint. II nothing
is done about the matter by the COM
pany then the matter will be referred
to the Interstate Commerce Commission.

TraveIera Assets WIN Re Eramined.

Superintendent McNall has decided to
make an investigation Of the Kansas.
assets OF the Travellers Insurance Com
pany. He has reason to believe that
Its Kansas holdings of real estate and
mortgages are overvalued and that its,
responsibility is thereby impaired The
Union Pacific hotel at Abilene, which is
owned by this company, is valued at
100000 In the reports, but is really worth
no such amount. Conservative esti-
mates place the actual value at about
$4,000 This company's report shows
that about one-fourth of its real estate
is in Kansas and large per cent. OF
its mortgages are on Kansas property.
II is therefore matter Of Importance
to know whether all of it's Kansas assets
are Overvalued as in the Abilene and
other cases.

With respect to railroad and hotel
rates the following statements are
made:
''It is expected that the Kansas rail-
roads will grant the usual reduced rates
for these meetings, from all points in
the State and also from Kansas City

Rates at Topeka hotels will, as usual,

pensive boarding houses suited to all
purposes.
On the back of the program is given
ex-senator Ingalls, article on grass 1t
is as follows:
Next in Importance to the divine
profusion of water, light and air, those
three great physical facts which rem
der existence possible, may be reck
oned the universal beneficence of grass.
"As he reflected on the brevity Of
human life, grass has been the favorite
symbol of the moralist, the chosen
theme of the philosopher. All flesh
is grass, said the prophet. My days
are as the grass sighed the troubled
patriarch; and the penslve Nebuchad-
nezzar in his penitential mood, ex-
ceeded even these, and, as the sacred
historian informs us, did eat grass like
an OK.
Grass is the forgiveness of nature
her constant benediction. Fields tram
pied with battle, saturated with blood,
torn with the ruts of cannon, grow
green again with grass, and carnage
Is forgotten. Streets abandoned by
traffic become grass-grown, like rural
lanes, and are obliterated. Forests de-
cay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, but
grass Is immortal. Beleaguered by the
sullen hosts of winter, 1t withdraws
into the impregnable fortress Of its
subterranean vitality, and emerges upon
the first solicitation of spring. Sown
by the winds, by wandering birds, prop
agated by the subtle horticulture Of the
elements, which are its ministers and |
servants, 1t softens the rude outlines Of
the world. It's tenacious fibers hold the
earth in its place and prevent It's solu-
BILE components from washing into the |
sea. 1t invades the solitude of deserts, |
climbs the inaccessible slopes and for
bidding pinnacIes Of mountains, mod
ifies climates, and determines the his
tory, character and destiny Of nations.

tai vigor and aggression. Banished
