ard moved to amend the resolution to
read "at least two" Senators LEVEL
ling and Jumper engaged in q dis
cussion of the resolution, the former
advocating additional normal schools
and Senator Jumper opposing.
Senator LewelIing said the present
normal school is oVercrowded. One
third of the teachers of Kansas are
without proper normal school training
and one.thlrd Of the applicants for
certificates fail In their examinations.
This Is q time for retrenchment, Of
course, but the expenditure necessary
to establish new normal schools would
be very light; the tax for one normal
school would be about 5 cents on each
quarter section Of land in the state.
Senator Jumper: "WOuld you, If
this resolution fails, vote to increase
the capacity of the present normal
schoolP"
Senator Lewelling: 81 don't care to
prejudice my case by answering that
question at this time"
Senator Jumper denied being Op-
posed to education, but thought that
the people of Kansas are more inter-
ested just now in getting bread and
butter than in building more normal
schools. The students at these schools
do not come from the farms, but are
generally the children of people of
means and can afford to 60 out Of the
State, II necessary, to complete their
education. The gentlemen who are
advocating new institutions are sCtu'
sted by selfish motives, and are trying
to have schools established in their
particular localities. We must not
burden our people with more taxes
while corn is worth but II cents
bushal.
Senator Lewelllng thought 1t not
good policy to enlarge the Emporia
Normal School. New institutions
should be established where they
would be more accessible to the people
of other sections Of the State.
Senator Jumper moved to re-COmmit
the whole question back to the Com
mittee on Education. Senators Lupfer,
Crossan and Coleman opposed this mo-
tion. Senator King thought we should
pay off our State debts rather than es-
tablish new institutions which we are
not sure that we need. There is an
OveEproduction of teachers now. Part
of our State debt will soon be due. BY
proper economy we can pay off at
least 100000 of this, and this will be
the best possible answer to the charge
that the people of Kansas are SnarCh'
lists and repudiators.
The various amendments to the
original resolution were voted down
one by one and a vote finally taken on
the original resolution. Several Sens.
tors explained their votes. Senators
Harris and King voted no because
they were not convinced Of the need
OF more normal schools. Senators For
ney, Campbell and Titus voted no be-
cause OF the indeanltsneaa Of che EesO.

Three bills which had been preVi-
Ously recommended for passage In
Committee of the Whole were pass I'd
by the House and sent to the Senate.
These were the Botkin bill making
husband and wife competent to tes.
tify in divorce cases, the Merrill bill to
abolish Jury Commissioners and the
Jaquins bill to allow City Clerks to
administer oaths.
In Committee of the Whole the
House considered bills reported from
the Committee on Ways and Means
making appropriations for the State
Agricultural School. The Cubbison
bill for the holding of city elections
at the same time as the general fall
elections was then taken up and pro.
Voked q spirited debate. Mr.. Cubbi.
son advocated the bill on the ground
that It would make q great saving in
the expense Of elections. He thought
elections are held too frequently. Mr..
Barkley defended the bill and Messrs.
LaEimer, Wellep, Armstrong and Fair
child opposed it on the ground that it
would increase corruption in city cleo
tions. The measure was not brought
to q vote, further consideration being
postponed till the next day.
FRIDAY.
AT the morning session the Senate
took up the consideration of q resolu-
tion offered by Senator Campbell in.
gtructinR che Kansas Senators and
Representatives In Congress to offer
no factiOus opposition to such tariff
Liquidation as may be brought forward
by the Republicans, but to oppose Wig
Orously all efforts to retire the green
backs from circulation.
The Republican members killed time
by calling, one by one, for the reading
of the resolution. After the resolu.
tion had been read several times In re-
sponse to such calls, one Of the Senators
made q protest against such actions.
Senator Harris suggested that IL was
good reading for Republicans to hear,
and should be read as many times as
they wished.
Senator Lamb (Rep.) thought 1t i'm
proper to instruct Congressman, and
moved to amend by making the resOlu-
tion to read ''request" instead Of In
struct.
Senator Harris: "In view Of the
fact that our requests have always
gone unheeded, do you not think it
about time for us to cease to request
and begin to instructP"
Senator Lamb: "Most emphatiCally
no. Our representatives In Congress
were sent there by the votes of the
same people who sent us here, and we
have no right to dictate to them"

from the records of past Republican
Legislatures to show that they had

BtRntial cuts In the sums asked for by
these institutions. After some rather
heated debates the recommendations
Of the committee were agreed to. The
sum Of $4,000 was appropriated for
the State Normal School, as against
@4S,740 by the last Legislature. The
State University had asked for $780,
600 for running expenses and $lS5,OOO
for new buildings. The appropriation
for buildings was cut out entirely and
the amount allowed for running ex-
penses reduced to $l60,0OO. Messrs.
Trueblood and Barclay led the fight
for the committee report and MesSrs.
Hackney, Keefer, Flnney, Larimer
and Barker pleaded for the original
appropriation.
THURSDAY.
To-day the Senate in Committee Of
the Whole finished the Householder
charities bill and recommended 1t for
passage. Many attempts were made
to amend the bill but few Of them sue.
Ceeded. An especially hard fight was
made on the provision which makes
the Governor @ member Of the Board
OF Charities, but the effort to strike
out this provision was defeated by q
vote Of II to l6.
Among other bills recommended for
passage were were these:
The Armstrong bill to prevent the
docksge of hogs.
The Cooke bill authorizing the County
Commissioners Of Mitchell county to
invest the funds of the county In

A number of other bills Of local In
terest were recommended for passage.

favorsbly, and % many more rejected
