Some times it strains the public imag-
ination to see just what injury the sep
aration of the races could work the
colored people, but every time a bill
to that end is exhibited a bunch of lob
byists appear, and sometimes lend dig
nifty to the occasion by Kissing the
speakers
When Mr.. ALBANIAN of Atchison in
troduced a bill to prohibit the inter
marriage of the races, a howl arose,
and the bill faded away. Just why the
prominent negroes objected to the bill
no one seems to know. Why they
should object to having their children
educated in separate schools is an
other mystery.
The dark-skinned brother seems to
think that the only way to progress
is to mix pronliscuously with the pale
faces, and it never occurs to him that
he might get along faster at his own
peculiar gait.
When a man has two fast horses,
and desires to train them for the race
track, he does not hitch them up to-
gether because he knows that their
best speed is to be obtained by driv-
ing them singly. And when one
chances to be a trotter and the other
q PAGER. it is a giIded cinch that he
win not hang double harness on them.

APPEAL TO HOCH.
Negroes Ask Him to Veto the Sepa-
rate School Bill.

A delegation of negroes called on
Governor Hoch today and held his I'M
divided attention for over an hour
The delegation made speeches with
the governor for an audience They
urged him to veto the Kansas City
school bill, and made vague threats and
promises While he was listening to
their side of the question, the tete-a-
tete was frequently interrupted by Sec
rotary McNeal who would dodge in
with an arm load of kilograms from
Kansas City white people urging him to
sign the bill and make it a law. The
governor was released and allowed to
go to lunch about 1890, and the delega-
ton came out of his office seemingly
well pleased with the interview. The
delegation. about twenty-five negroes,
was composed almost entirely of local
talent. Topeka negroes who are not af
fected by the Kansas City bill.
While the negroes were holding the
attention of the governor, Professor Nc
Closkey. principal of the Kansas City,
Kansas, high school, the bone of con-
tention which has kept the town on
the ragged edge of a race war for some
time, was waiting to see the governor.
IF white men could do any Sood
might have brought a delegation of them
along said Prof. McC1oskey. The peo-
pie of Kansas City are greatly excited
over this bill, and if the governor vetoeS
it race war is among the possibilities
for the near future. The feeling is in
tense. In the high school the white pupils
refuse to recognize or even notice the col
ored pupils, and they are always on the
verge of an outbreak. 1t is the only solu-
ton of the race problem in that town. .
DR.. GIasscock came into Secretary Nc
Meals office while the colored delegation
was interviewing the governor, and said:
IF the colored people succeed in getting
the governor to veto that bill it will work
against their interests. They are asking
for large appropriations for the fnainte-
nance of race schools. and their argument
is spoiled. They are not consistent in
their demands, and they must either get
on one side or the other. am for the
colored university appropriation, but the
house will not stand for any -tampering
on their part; they had better drop it,

WONT WITHDRAW LAND
House Votes That school Property
May Still Be Sold.

Kansas school lands viii not be
withdrawn from the market just yet.
IhiS Is the decision of the house of
Representatives after a long debate
this morning in committee of the
whole, on the Pringle bill and the
Mead bill. both of which are based on
the theory that the state should with
draw the school lands from the mar
ket.
All of the members from the west
ern part of the state lined up solidly
against the proposed measures. They
said 1T would interfere with the settle
ment of that part of the state; that
the eastern part of the state had
taken advantage of the free land
proposition to induce immigration, and
the western part should be allowed to
do the same.
Simmons of Lane presented a very
long amendment to Pringle's bill, re-
placing the section which prohibited
the sale of the lands. The Simmons
amendment looked a little too formid-
able to the house, and it was decided
to refer the whole school land propo-
sition to the committee on state affairs
to be put into shape.
Mr.. Prfngle's bill is considerably
longer and more elaborate than that
of Mr.. Mead. Pringle, in his bill, pro-
vfdes for a state school land commits
Sioner, with two assistants. The COM
missioner is allowed a salary of $4,000,
and the assistants $1,S00 each.
Mead's bill simply withdraws the
school lands from the market and
gives the county clerk and county
treasurer charge of the work of leas-
ing lands, collecting rents, etc., on
the school lands of each county. The
proceeds of the rentals of school land
goes into the state school fund.

TRIALS OF SMALL BOY.
They are Discussed in the Senate
Today.

Senator Belts bill for the protection
OF street and suburban RAILWAYS was
pefore the senate committee on the
Whole to-day and it stirred up a good
deal OF discussion about the small boy.
Section z was aimed at the small
boys who jump on street cars and pro-
vlded that any person jumping on a
car to steal ride ssupon conviction
thereof shall be punished by impris-
onment in the county Jail for period
not exceeding thirty days, or by q
tine OF not more than twenty-five dol
prisonment."
Senator Benedict came to the de-
Iense OF the small boy, he referred
TO the eight-page bill which makes
everything from whiting a trolly pole
to Wrecking a street car unlawful and
life.
This bill is a stem winder," said
senator Benedict. This bill is very
on street car to ride a block that
he shall go to jail for thirty days.
Ihats ridiculous. I move to strike out
this entire section"
Senator Belts said, This bill is for
the protection of the small boys to
keep them from being killed.
Senator Young came to side of the
small boy and said a boy who jumps
on a car does not do it with criminal
intent.
''The best thing to do would be to
spank the boys" said Senator Bene-
dict.
The senate committee Of the whole de-
cided to change the word t.shall' be sent
to jail to may be sentenced and fined.
Senator Porter, of Crawford, went after
section 8, which would make every en-
ploye of a street car company a police
man, and the section was stricken out
The committee of the whole then struck
out the section making it unlawful tres
pass for persons to go upon the private
right of way of street car and suburban
lines.
Senator Griffin then went after the sec
ton providing that anyone who shall
throw. stones, wood, clods or other mis-
sizes into any moving or standing street
car, or street car building, station. barn,
or office; or who shall shoot into any
moving or standing street car or street
car building, station, barn, or office, shall
on conviction thereof be punished by con-
hnement at hard labor in the penitentiary
not less than one nor more than three
years. Senator Griffin said: II viii not
vote to send a boy who throws a. clod into
a street car to the penitentiary and con-
hnement at hard labor" This provision |
was stricken out of the bill.
senator Dolley moved to change the fine |
Tor jumping on cars to not more than IS. |
Senator Belts wished the fine to remain |
at SO. The committee of the whole de- |
cided to make the fine not over S.

The end of the session now approach
eth on the gum-shoe of Time, and it
is up to the legislature to hold night
sessions. The principal impediment in
the night session is the elusive quorum
In days of old, when the speaker of
the house or the president OF the sem
ate desired to hold a meeting by night,
they sent forth a royal ukase and
closed the poker parlors. Having moth
ing else to 20, the legislators would
then flock to the halls of law and work.
Now is different from then. The bosses
who desire to grind will have to invent
something else. Instead of poker play
ing legislators we now have a body of
good Oldrural snoozers who are addicted
to the sleep habit. They get up early,
and therefore go to bed early. They
desire to legislate, but would rather do
it by daylight.

Bringing in the Members.

There is one expedient left for Gov
ernOr Hoch and Car Stubs. BY
acting upon these simple suggestions
they may secure a quorum at any
time after p. m Hire a couple of
husky, gum-shod burglars. Introduce
them to the hotel clerks, and give
them pass keys to all the legislative
sleeping apartments. Instruct them
to carry out the legislator, bed and all,
and bear him gently but firmly to the
state house. Check his trousers and
stack them in the cloak room under
guard, and at the proper moment,
when a quorum of members are snor-
ing in a quorum of different keys, let
them be awakened and put to work.
They cannot escape from the building
until the speaker is ready to close up
shop and distribute the trouser
checks. AS some of the legislators
wear pants instead of trousers, it
would be well to eliminate the fine line
between these garments in carrying
out this program. for, if trousers only
were retained, the painted members
would escape and leave the legislature
in the hands of the trousered aristo-
cracy.
