Topeka, Kansas.
Wednesday, 2S.-This is my second
letter. AS | wuZ sayin' last week
Pm agin the railroad bill. 1t makes
me think of what the Niger sed of
Sivvel Rites Bill: There's s'pervi-
sions" in it: bred and butter, and
bakin and meal-fer the Cheef Mogul.
I've heard that Baly Wagner is sat
isfied with the bill and that's
nuther reason I'm agin it. 1t looks
spishus.
There is only one good thing about
the bill: 1t lays it onto the Yunited
Stats Supreem Court which VIII new
er be in it with this Court of Visissy-
TODD, which is we'll, seem as how the
y. S. supreem court treated our COVER
nor in the Nebrassky Maximum Rats
case. There can be no appel to the
v. $. courts aud the Y. S. constitution
will be a back number. The y. S.
conrt and constitution have been in
our way ever senst our party was or
ganiZed. Pm agin the bill but I'm
bound to give credit fer its good feet
ureS.
vote for the bill. I'm agin it.
The bill pervides fer a Court of Wis
issytood, composed of three lawyers
and an attorney solicitus who will be
Cheef Mogul and git on the pay of the
rail roads. Our party has had enuff
of legal visisSytood and if it pervides
fer Il Cheef Mogul it will become a
latfin-stalk and a reeproach and a buy
word.
If our governor appintS a Cheef
Mogul his reppvtashun might suffer.
(I mean the governors reppytashun.) J
I'm agin it. We SHOULD be keerful of
our governors reppytashun-
If our governor don't appint the
court then he will lose some OF his
hard-earned patronage which will go
to the attorney solicitus-onless a
amikable and a ekitable arrangement
can be made. | think I'm agin the
bill. (Until l hear from the COVER
nor.)
I'm agin the bill on general princi-
Piles. Il don't like the idea Of walkin'
home.
Thursday, 29.-I motifs some of the
old experinced members have eX-
changed their mail boldly guards fer
feemail pertecters, bein' more congo
nial and edifyin perhaps, beside bein'
useful as clerks and amanuensisses.
/ jest must hev me boldly gard-of
some kind.
Senatur Housejumper and Mr..
Lambsquarter had little tilt the
other day about amendin' the rules.
Lambs is pesky sheep-a hard
headed old bell-weather-but we got
the rules changed. We had to do it.
Some of our fellers who have high no
tions about being decent had it in
their power to jine the opposition
and spill the fat into the fire-(which
is figgerativel.
BY the. change of rules the minority
is throttied and gagged-a calamity
is averted and the objeck of our noble
governor in callin' this extra oncom-
mon ordinary seshun may be reelized.
CT mean the reel obieck.
Thursday p- m.-We passed the
rail road bill thru the house to-day
We make record fer ekcnomy by
passin' it at the rait of one section
per minnit- There is no sense in
wastin' the peoples time and money
in useless discussion of the pervisions
of bill.
The people sed two yeers ago that
they was willin' fer our party to make
their laws and we are holdin' -em to
IL It's our last chance.
Friday. 30.-The pesky Republicans
are meddlin' with our own party at
fairs To-day they tride to get our
Doodle Investigatin' Committy to
make report. Blast 'em. that Doodle
affair is our bizness not theirs. They
ort to hev more manners but they jist
will keep a bringin. it up 1t wuz our
party that furnished the charges and
the culprits and the committy and
