Next Adiutant General.

There is a well defined opinion among
the politicians that Sim Fox of Manhat-
tan who was adjutant general under
Governor Morrill, will get the place
from Governor Stanley. Fox is thor
oughly competent, so say his friends,
and is making an active campaign for
the place. The Republicans are anxious
to get control of the office so the expeE-
ditures in the military funds may be in
vestigated. The Populist officers in that
department recently expended $40O in
mastering some new companies Two
years ago Mr-Fox and his assistant Wis
tied the headquarters of every company
in the state and checked over all the
property. Their bill for travelling and
hotel expenses amounted to ST. The
Populists bill for similar work was S400.

REACHING FOR AN EVIL
That Has Been Great Source of An
noyance to Kansas

The annual unloading in Kansas of
hundreds of waits from the over-crowd-
ed cities of the east is crime against
the people of this state which the legis-
lature is asked to stop by passing a bill
introduced in the senate today by Major
Tom Anderson of Shawnee county.
In recent years it has been the prac-
tice of eastern societies of various
known and sometimes questionable pur-
poses to find homes for the pauper
children of the tenements and alleys of
the wealthy cities of the east. No one
pretends to take exception to the good
which these organizations accomplish,
but the people of Kansas as well as 9TH
er states have a right to object to the
indiscriminate bringing Of such classes
of people into the state. Hundreds of
children have been brought to Kansas
and have eventually drifted into the
penitentiary and reformatory.
This bill also prescribes punishments
for persons in adjoining states who shall
send paupers into this state.
Now it is the practice for the benev-
Olent agencies and police authorities in
Kansas City, the Indian Territory and
Colorado to furnish transportation for
paupers into this state. In this man
ner beggars are helped from town to
town and finally round up at the place
where they started only again to be
started on their rounds.
Senator AnderSOn'S bill makes either
of the above acts nisdemeanor,
punishable by heavy fine.

FILIPINOS GET A HEARING
File a Document While Secretary Hay
is Absent.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Senor Lopez
secretary to Agoncillo, the WASH
ington representative of Aguinaldos
called at the state department this af-
ternoon and lodged with the chief clerk
a communication, which, according to
the common expectation, marked the
critical stage in the Philippine question
This is the third attempt made by the
Filipino representative to secure official
recognition from the United States gov
ernment. Secretary Hay at the time the
communication was presented, was at
tending meeting of the cabinet at tn
White House, SO that all that Chiet
Clerk Michael could do under the cir
c11nstances was to receive the paper
as he would any other handed to him.
The advfces from Manila, which nave
reached the war department are far
from reassuring. 1t is understood that
General Otis reports an expectation on
his part that the insurgents are about
to force an issue and If this should be
so the result can not be foreseen. Ma
nila itself and not Iloilo, as might at
first be suspected, is regarded as the
danger point just now.

BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Contemplated by the Bill introduced
by Representative BurkhoIder.

Representative Burkholder has intro
duced two bills in the house which are
intended to better the public school
system. The first is with reference 10
taxation for school purposes. 1t Dro-
Vides for a state school tax of mills
and also a county tax of from 2 to <
mills, all to be distributed per capita.
according to the number of pupils of
school age in each district This prO-
vision is in accordance with the consti-
tuition, which states that all school
money shall be distributed per capita.
The theory of the state tax is that
the state makes education compulsory
ana the rich portions of the state should
nelp the less favored portions paw for
their schools.
The county tax is to rectify the in
equality in school tax assessments in
the same localities. For instance. a.
county or township votes bonds for a.
railroad. The entire county or town
snip has to pay the bonds, but under
the present law the railroad only paws
scnool taxes in the districts thro1Ieh

known where farmer has only paid z

CONVENTION OPENS
With the Annual Address of Presi-
dent Springer.

Denver, Jan. 24.-The second annual
convention of the National Livestock
association was called to order at the
Tabor Grand opera house by President
John w. Springer at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. There were nearly 1000 dele
gates in attendance from all the great
stock growing states of the west and
middle west.
After prayer by the Rev. H. Martyr
Hart, dean of ST. Johns cathedral, ad-
dresses of welcome were delivered by
Governor Charles S. Thomas and Mayor
Thomas S. McMurray, to which a re-
spOnse was made by Hon. A. P. Bush of
Texas. This was followed by roll call,
after which President Springer deliv-
cred his address.
Among other things he said:
''The first aim of our National Live
stock association should be to get as
active members every live stock asso-
States.
Our second aim should be to har-
monize all differences between conflict
ing interests growing out of the grazing
and selling of live stock.
''Our third aim should be to secure
uniform laws in all the states, regu-
lating brands, providing for bounties for
the killing of predatory animals, for
the prompt settlement for all live stock
killed by railways, for uniform inspec-
ton quarantine and sanitary regula-
tions, and for prohibiting the admission
of physically unsound breeding animals
into the United States.
ssOur fourth aim should be to aid the
department of agriculture of the United
States in every way, and to demand the
passage by congress of laws which di-
rect retaliation where foreign nations
are opposed to reciprocity, in order that
our meat products may not be driven
out of the foreign markets.
"Our fifth aim should be to secure
laws from congress which will cede to
the various western states the grazing
lands located in those states, in order
that they may deal with their own citi-
zens and pass just laws leasing these
great tracts of lands, and preventing
their acquisition by syndicates and cor
porations.
'.Our sixth aim should be to aid the
interstate commerce commission in alb
rogating the obnoxious 81 terminal
charge at Chicago, and to secure the re-
funding of this illegal tax to the ship

''From the almanacs of 1899 we learn
that one hundred and fifty-tWo trusts
are now In full blast in the United
States. The list begins with an alcohol
trust, a barbed wire trust, castor oil
trust, a Colorado coal combine, a fish
trust, whip trust, and so on to tomb

WORK OF THE SENATE.
It Makes a Small Advance Today,
Though Little Legislation
is TikeIv

Although the legislature makes no
pretensions towards passing anything
at this session, yet the near approach of
the consideration by the senate of pend
ing bills, has brought the lobbyists TO
the rescue of various measures
Among these are the normal school
and asylum bills, and the citizens of the
towns seeking recognition, along these
lines are coming on to push them. The
senate was thronged this morning, but
the prayer by the chaplain cleared the
lobbies and the ''pluggers'' went to the
house of Representatives.
There is now work outlined for the
opponents of the Hanna bill against
faith healers and creating a corner"
upon ministering to the sick, for the
benefit of doctors of the old school The
committee on public health. LeWelling
chairman, today recommended that the
bill be passed.
The same committee recommended
that the BARRIERS bill be referred to the
committee of the whole senate.

plant or to build a new water works
plant, as may seem best. The franchise
of the present company will expire two
years from next fall. The plant is then
worth simply what it would cost to
duplicate it, less the pipes and material
which might be useless and less the
difference between second hand and
new material and machinery. The
water works plant of this city some
years ago was sold at an enormous
profit to a firm of stock jobbers on Wall
street, who put in a few thousand dol
lars more, less than seventy five thous-
and we believe, and forthwith sold the
plant for more than double the sum
they paid. In other words, after buy
ing it at a large profit to the sellers to
them they turned around and bonded
or sold 1t to. another company and
showed a profit of one-half million dol
lars into their own pockets.
The trouble with the water works
company in Topeka today is that the
unfortunate people who are now "hold-
ing the SACK so to speak, have from
three to four times more money in the
plant than the plant is worth and are
actually afraid to do business with a

committee has promised to act as a
steering committee for the accomplish
ment of work that the experience of
the last year was shown to be neces-

Secretary Charles F. Martin read the
membership roll, comprising 46 associa-
tions, which represent 5000 persons,
about eight million head of stock and an
investment of $3.50, 100000. Secretary
Martin said:
''The association is now Of such power
as to command the respect of every as
Sociation, corporation and law-making
body on the continent and with proper
and judicious management can become
of inestimable benefit to its members
as well as one of the greatest and rich
est associations for mutual benefit that
exists on the globe at the present time -
The secretary suggested amendments
to the constitution and bylaws to
broaden the scope of the associations
