and trusts, and it's pretended protection
to the hard toiling masses, after due de-
liberation, has said to the 10000 Kansas
farmers, Your petition we spurn, your
remonStranceS we abhor; toll on, you
are only worthy the place of serfS. while
We grant our more worthy citizens, oIeo
manufacturers, to live in luxury; there
fore be it
Resolved, Not that we resurrect the
anti-oleo bill, but that we consign it to
peaceful slumbers until other days when
other men shall guide the reinS of state:
therefore, be it further
Resolved, That the Kansas City re-
porterS were a little loony when they
said no anti-oleomargarine bill had ever
been adversely reported by the agri-
cultural committee, for none that went
thereto ever came out alive; and be it
further
Resolved, That the distinguished
gentleman from CowIey county Iabored
under a misrepresentation when he de-
clared that it was an insult to the COM
mittee, as they had already reported
one bill adversely, when the facts are
they cholIed the life out of every one
of the bills in the committee room; and
be it further
Resolved that a copy of these reso-
lutfons be spread upon the ia BILE of each
and every one of the 10000 Kansas
farmers, anti-oleo petitioners, as a
token of our regard for them, and as a
memento of plighted confidence"
The resolutions will not be adopted,
but they have been read in the house
and will appear in the record unless the
Republican clerks freeze" them out
Mr. McKeever added an amendment
to include the Populist house of 1897
with the Republican house in the
