The Kansas railroad lawyers
are getting ready to send passes
to the members of the Legis-
lature. 1t is said that all will
receive the pasteboards except
those who have previously for
feited their rights by lending or
swapping their passes to friends.
Three old members, it is report
ed, will be denied the courtesyo of
the railroads. Last summer a
man very drunk was put off the
train in Topeka because he
wouldn't pay fare. He flashed
the pass of well known short
grass statesman, but the con-
ductor happened to know the
statesman, and would not stand
for it. The conductor turned
the pass in, and the statesman is
still walking.-Topeka Herald.

ment adopted at the election
recently implied that the terms
of county commissioners should
be six years, the attorney gen.
eral, in anopinionrendered today,
holds that tits necessary for the
1egislatuse to fix the terms next

county clerk asking if he. should
give the newly elected county
commissioner a commission for
six years. In reply, the attorney
general told him to make out the
commission without putting an
expiration date on it. He said
that the legislature could make
the'terms two years, four years,
and six years in length. Ifmade
two years, all three commission
ers must be chosen at the same
election; if four years, two must
be elected at one election andon
at the next; if six years, one can
be elected every two years.

A GENERAL DIsPENsARY BILL.
Such a Measure will Be introduced in
the LEGISLATURE.

Late advices from the state capital
say that those who believe that the
insertion of local option plank in the
platform of the democratic party in
the last campaign would put an end to
efforts to pass a general dispensary
bill will be disappointed. At least two
members of the present house have
general dispensary bills that they pro-
pose to introduce, and the introduction
of either will bring on greas contest
before the house and senate, too, if the
measure passes the lower house.
Governor Gambler vetoed general
dispensary bill last yeLr after it had
passed both the house and senate and
it is not improbable that Governor
Terrell may have the same proposition
presented to him. Ii it seems that the
bill of the member from Spalding has
any chance of becoming a law, the
contest over it will develop into the
most bitter fight to come before the
general Assem- bly, at this session.
