the Investigations now gong on in
Topeka may throw some light on the
subject. The pops had the power,
to pass any law they wanted to, but
failed on the railroad matter to do as
they agreed, and for such failure
are most certainly to be censured.

Germany to exclude all American hog

The first two steps will be especially
serious to Kansas, and indeed the

American wheat will be excluded

which future elections in this state

was demanded. Last fall some coun-

ing the ballot in the newspapers, and
outrageous prices for the official bal

platform fer 1896:
I'm the interest Of the people OF
Kansas we demand that our senator's
and representatives in Congrass use
their best endeavors to secure such
amendments to the Interstate Com
merce Act IS will enable the Inter.
state Commerce Commission TO pre.
scribe and enforce reasonable trans
portstIon charges upon Interstate
commerce and we further demand
that the legislature OF Kansas make
such changes in the present laws OF
the state as may be necessary TO in
crease the power of the Board of
Railroad Commissioners by making
their findings, conclusions and orders
under the act OF their creation prims
facie evidence Of their correctness and
providing for a speedy review thereof
by the courts when questioned and a
summary enforcement thereof IL sus-
tanned, as recommended by the Board

We commend the efforts Of the

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, March 10.

There was an unusually large attend
ance of Senators at the opening OF to-
days session. Ex-senator Ransom, of
North Carolina, now Minister to Mexi-
CO, was on the floor, and was cordially
greeted by his former associates.
The Vice President laid before the
Senate communication from Governor
Bradley, of Kentucky, setting forth
that he had appointed Andrew 7.
Wood, OF Montgomery county, KY, as
Senator from that State to supply a
vacancy which had happened during
the recess of the Legislature-that body
not being in session-the appointment
to be in force until the next meeting of
the Legislature and until the election
of Senator.
The communication having been
cad, motion was made by Mr.. Hoar
that Mr.. Wood be now admitted to
take the oath.
Mr.. Gorman.-The Senator, of
course, understands the question in
| volved in this matter. | move, as a
substitute, that the communication and
credentials be referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections.
Mr.. Hoar.-Under present circum-
stance do not expect to antagonize
the motion of the Senator from Mary.
land.
Mr.. Gorman's substitute was agreed
to; and Mr.. Woods credentials were
referred to the committee on privileges
and elections.
Mr.. Hoar gave notice of motion to
amend the rules in relation to calls OF
the Senate; so that, if suggestion be
made of the absence of quorum
the presiding officer Gnstead of
instantly ordering call to be
made) shall determine the matter
and report whether there is or
is not quorum present. If there is,
the business shall proceed; and, if not,
the roll is to be called.
The purpose of the change is stated
to be ito prevent the interruption of
business by unnecessary calling of the
roll"
Mr.. Shoup presented memorial
from the legislature of Idaho asking for
the annexation of portions of Wyoming
to that State.
Mr.. Warren referred to the memorial
as an attempt to have portion of a
good and fertile State added to some
what dry and barren one, and init
mated that opposition to it would be
made in proper time.
The Senate then proceeded to execu-
tive business and at 1910 adjonrne d

MADE TO RESTORE THE RUGS.-As
stated yesterday, a case came up in the
Police Court Monday night which is OF
interest to persons who buy household
or other articles on the instalment plan.
A. l.. Brodie, an agent of g. Washing
ton house, has been doing business in
this city for some time by selling GER
tain household essentials on the install
ment plan. An ironclad contract is
drawn up ~ which the seller places
himself in the position of renter of
the articles until all payments are
made, and then upon receipt Of one
cent transfers the articles to the per-
sons who have been paying certain
stipulated sums. An article of the
agreement is that the proprietor of the
house or his agent can enter the resi-.
dence OF the purchaser Tor renter, as
they are pleased to term him or her,
and remove the goods upon default of
any one OF the payments. Mrs. Harri-
son, widow lady in this city, had pur-
chased two rugs from Brodie on the in.
stalment plan. The rugs were valued
at 81 so each, and the lady had paid
81, or within fifty cents of the price of
one. Recently she was taken sick and
was unable to meet the demands of the
agent, and day or two ago, while
Mrs. Harrison was away from home,
Brodie, it was alleged. went to her
house and being unable to open the
door, broke latch and took possession
of both rugs. 4 warrant was sworn out
for his arrest charging him with lar

turn affairs had taken, delivered him.
self up TO the authorities in Washing
ton, and Lieutenant Smith and Consta-
BILE Webster went to that city yesterday
and brought him here. The case was
called at o'clock. The prisoner was
represented by Mr.. S. G. Brent aud the
prosecution by Commemorative Attor-
new Leonard Marbury. After the wit
nesses had been examined and argu-
ment heard the Mayor dismissed the
charge OF larceny, but ordered Brodie
to restore the rugs, the court taking
the ground that the contract was in
reality that OF sale, not rental, and
that in default of payment the seller
would be compelled to restore his goods
under due process Of law. The costs OF
the procedure were assessed against
Brodie 1t has always been held by
the agents of the instalment houses that
they have right to enter houses and
take possession of articles upon which
balances are due, and compel the pur
chasers to forfeit all they have paid on
them, but the right has not been sus-
tanned when the issue has been brought
before the courts.
