This rank has recent- dy been conferred only on Generals Sheridan and Sherman, and is the fighest in this country. The Kansas legislature i is having a hard time finding a suitable man &> represent the state in the U.S. @enate. There are a half a dozen candidates before the caucus, but weither has sufficient strength to gain the coveted prize, and it seems dark Lorse will have to be led into dhe pasture. After spending a week in balloting for a United States senator, the Kan- @as fegistature discarded the promi- peat candidates and the caucus wominate Lucien Baker, of Leaven- worth. a dark horse, on the forty- | sixth ballot.

In speaking of the number of uewspaper men in the present legis- lature the Democrat has Bates coun- ty represented by a republican, Joseph T. Davison This is not only an error on the part of the Democrat, but a blunder the editor should be ashamed of. By way of correction we will inform the sentative is a rock ribbed democrat, a practicing physiciau and a farmer and was never in any capacity con- this is his second term in the gener- al assembly from this county. Joseph T. Davison referred to hails from Poplar Bluffs, Butler county, and isan editor, lawyer and republi can. Mr. Tubbs, of Osage county, seems to be a troublesome spirit in the Missouri House of Representa- tives. He and Speaker Russell and a few other members gave their con- sent to hang an oil painting of Gen. Lyon back of the Speaker’s chair. When they began putting the pic- ture in place it was discovered that there was not sufficient space unless they removed the picture of Benton which has hung immediately back Tubbs & Co., ordered Benton takeu down and removed to some of the rubbish rooms, and there was a gen- eral howl among the decent members of the body. There was such a noisy demonstration of ETAT wrath that Benton's picture was put | back in its accustomed place. And now Tubbs, Speaker Russell and the rest of them are trying to shift the responsibility off of their own shoulders onto the men who were doing the work.—Ex. Here is Feit hanes Hill, of New York, said in a letter to Clark How- ell,editor of the Atlanta Constitution in July 1893, the publication of which to day is authorized by Mr. Hill as the keynote of the democratic campaign in 1896: “I do not believe in the Bland bill or any other measure which guarantees anything less than un- restricted coinage of gold and silver alike as pledged in the democratic national platform. We should con tinue to hold out free coinage as & goal which the country must ulti- mately reach.” This to be taken to mean that he favors free coinage under an inter- national agreement, if possible, ‘‘and if not possible, then for independent bimetallism ” He says he favors Ten Feet of Snow.

Committees | from both houses were appointed to |attended the remains to Dewit. A | special election has been ordered by | the Governor to elect a successor to Mr. Richards. Four hundred House bills have and twenty five Senate bills. The most interesting debate in the House | which occurred during the week was over the bill to regulate the fees of | coal oil inspectors, introduced by} Tubbs of Osage. The bill provides that the receipts of the coal oil in spector in excess of a fixed salary shall be returned to the State ‘lreas ury. The fees received by inspectors in large cities are from 12,000 to 14- 000 dollars per annum. Out of this sum,rent and a deputy’s salary must be paid but it is claimed that the in spectors receive for their salaries several thousand dollars in excegs of the salary received by any executiye officer of the state not even except ing the governor. An amendment, to include gasoline in the inspection will be offered and if adopted and the bill passed it will increase the revenue of the state from 50.000 to 60,000 dollars. House bill No. 395 entitled Saving Banks, requires banks to make a statement of their financial condition to the secretary of State when call ed upon by that official to do so and requires at least three of the Board | | of Directors to make oath that they have examined the affeirs of the bauk | and certify as the result of their ex amination Eight or ten bills seeking to regu late criminal costs are pending in both branches of the assembly and it is expected that an effective measure will be framed by the committee in- corporating the best portion of each bill.

Bull Cook at Fort Smith. Fort Smith, Ark., January 20.— Thousands of persons anxious to see and talk with the famous Bill Cook visited the Federal Jail to day. Cook arrived at the Frisco depot at lo’clock this morning, in company with T. D. Lowe, Sheriff of Bowie County, Tex.; C. C. Perry, a New) Mexico officer; Y. D. McMurray, Sheriff of Mitchell County, Tex., and H. S. Sisk, an ex-Sheriff of the samo State. In less than ten minutes after his arrival he was behind the bars. Cook to day admitted that he was implicated in the Red Fork train robbery. ‘How about your connec- tion with the Mr. Dermott store rob bery?” was asked. After a slight) hesitation, Cook admitted that he was connected with that robbery also. These are the hold-ups for which Judge Parker sentenced troit Penitentiary. Speaking of his capture, Cook said: “They came, upon me by surprise. Iwas going out to water my horse when they Cook occuvies the cell When a reporter called at the jail he was engaged in a game of poker, but stopped long enough to answer a few questions. John V.
