The most gifted orator on the Pop
ulist side Of the house is Douglas
Marion Barley of Elk county. He
/ has mastered the art, and when be
rises to speak the members turn in
their seats TO face him. His attacks
upon the Republicans are worth going
miles to hear. OratOry is not Bark
ley's only accomplishment. He is a
particularly clever politician, and his
hand is seen in much of the COM
mittee work.
Ed Hackney is not slow as an orator.
He learned to speak at the state uni.
versity and has kept pretty well In
practice. And then Oratory runs in
the Hackney family. Ed received
many congratulations upon his speech
In favor Of the university bill.
One OF the most f0rceful speakers
in the house is c. W. Fairchild OF
Kingman. He always has bis SUBJ
ject well IN hand, and hits from the
shoulder. Fairchild is the biggest
man in the house, with the possible
execution of Frank Armstrong OF
Wyandotte,
Armstrong is another man who hits
from the shoulder. He made the
speech in the caucus which disposed
of the Audsnn-Snow controversy.
The caucus was about to adjourn
when Representative Rothweller
moved that the state printing be
given to Snow. Armstrong said:
I'm getting tired of this fuss. 1t
isn't any of our business. Hudson and
Snow have on the gloves, and l am in
favor of standing back and letting
them fight it out. l move to table
the motion"
The caucus shouted its approval,
and the motion prevailed unani-
mOusly.
W. P. Trueblood, of Usage, does not
remain silent long at a time, and he
generally has something of interest
TO say. No man in the legislature is
a more tireless worker than True
blood.
Other men'vho are heard from are
JaQuius, of COwley; Keefer, of Leav-
enworth; DiDgus, of Linn; Weilup, of
Cherokee; Brown, of COwley; Smith,
of Sherman; Doyle, of Republic; Wal
tiers, Uf Labette, ard Taylor, of W..

are Lobdell, CubbisOn, Seaton, Botkin,
Finney and Grimes.

side the leaders are Hessin, Wallack,

Party lines are drawn more closely
in the senate than they are in the
house. Some question comes up every
day on which the Republicans in a
body take issue with the majority.

Impractical Lawmakers.

Clay Center Times.
There are few members of the
legislature who seem to think their
greatness will be measured by the
number of bills they introduce. The
friends of one state senator are boast
ing that he has already introduced
thirty bills aud by this time the num-
Der has no doubt reached forty. AS a
rule the more bills a man introduces
the less merit there is 10 them, and it
seems to apply in this case.

progress the Times. Herald has
frequently spoken, for there is scarcely

with more or less success. In the
great manufacturing industries Of iron
and cotton they are making marvellous
progress, bidding fair to rival if not
to Outstrip the northern states in
