The Wichita Eagle recently published the following interesting interview with Mr. Geo. L. Douglass, speaker of the Kansas constitu- tional house of representatives. His views on the political situation in his state will be read with interest here, particularly as heis a former Washingtonian, a son of Commissioner Doug- lass: “The house of representatives,” said Mr. Douglass, “consists of 125 members; sixty- three being necessary to transact business. There are certificates issued to sixty-three straight republicans, ove independent republi- can and three democrats, making in all sixty- seven members supporting the regular house of representatives, of which Iam speaker, and fifty-eight populists constituting the other body. ‘This is the exact way the membership of both houses stands. “After the organization of the regular house of representatives last Tuesday the fifty-eight populists, under the instructions of a steering committee on the floor, got together and or- ganized what they call a house of representa- tives. As they had only a minority they sent for the official roll in the secretary of state's’ office, and Ben Rich, under the instructions of the steering committee, erased the names of ten republicans who had been regularly elected and who held certificates, and wrote in the names of ten populists who had been defeated at the polls, some of them by majorities from 500 to 1,000.” They then called the names from the forged roll, and the fifty-eight who were actually elected, with the ten outsiders who were not elected, organized what they calla house of representatives, and which the gover- nor and senators have ‘recognized.’ In the reconstruction period I doubt whether anything so absolutely rotten ae this was ever attempted. “It is crime against Kansas, against which every liberty-loving and law-abiding citizen will protest, The ‘recognition,’ however. can have no permanent effect upon the situation, for if this ramp legisiature should attempt to pass any bills they could never become laws my more than if the city council of Topeka or any other body were to pass a bill and ask the senate and governor to concur. If the theory upon which this rump house was organized should be sustained there is no use holding elec- expense. ‘The principle, if adopted, would put this state absolutely at the mercy of ‘any crowd of conspirators who could thrust themselves into the house of tepresentatives and or- ganize a legislature by making up a roll of members from a city. directory or any other repository of names. It is revolu- tion pure, simple and unadulterated, and no self-respecting man cognizant of the facts can ever countenance it or do other than de- nounce it, The democrats in the legislature and throughout the state stand side by side with the republicans in denouncmg the fraud and in demanding that the rightful and consti- tutional house of representatives shall stand firm for honor and principle and law. A large number of the people’s party members of this rump legislature are utterly disgusted with the proceedings and express themselves em- phatically to this effect in private con ersation, ‘They do not hesitate to suy, as several of them have said to me, that there can be but one house Of representatives and that the majority body is that house. The only thing that has pre- vented their coming out boldly and denouncing the fraud hasbeen the extraordinary efforts of a coterie of outside leaders to overawe and revent them from so doing. But I be- Fieve these leaders. are losing their grip and that the power of the individual conscience of the members will reassert itself; if it dées not do so it, of course, means a complete fail- ure of all legislation during the session, for the constitutional house cannot legislate ' without the concurrence of the senate and governor, and the minority body cannot legislate at all, even with such concurrence. The whole thin; has been brought about by a few political schemers in the party who are hopin, to be United States Senator. As matters stan in the two houses as actually elected. the three democrats in the house and the two in the sen- ate hold the bainnce of power in the election of state printer and Senator. In order to get rid of this democratic balance of power these plot- ters have been willing to violate the law and the constitution and to precipitate a recoiution in our system of government. That they will fail in the end is as certain as that a majority of the people of Kansas are’ believers in the sanc- tity of the law and the Constitution.” ——-+e- ___ The aynual meeting of the National Brick Manufacturers’ Association is in session in Louisville, Ky.

After a separation of twenty-five “years, dur- ing which they each thought the other dead, Geo. W. Davenport and his wife of Louisville \have become reunited through a letter from Pension Commissioner Raum. The story is a peculiar one and smacks of the | romantic. Davenport and bia wife wore married in Louisville on June 19, 1866, by the Rev. Law rence Bax, but a year anda half Inter the husband departed for the west tosceka fortune. Itseems that shortly after Davenport’s departure he re- ceived a letter from a friend conveying the news of his wife's death some time before and stating that the body had been buried by rela- tives, ‘The husband did not, of course, doubt the authenticity of his friend's announcement and as he had no near relatives in Louisville did not | return. ‘Mrs. Davenport, failing to hear from her hus- band, sought him “high and low” for several years aud then sorrowfully arrived at the con- | elnsion that he was no longer living. Davenport is a veteran of the civil war. He enlisted in company C of the eighteenth Mis- souri. At Shiloh he was badly wounded. After leaving Louisville he went to Texas. At Fort Worth he served as a deputy marshal for four years, He was a deputy sheriff of ‘Tarrant county for two years and served on the lice force of Fort Worth for three years. raring all this time he was receiving a soldier's | pension from the government, and to this is due the discovery of the fact that his wife was still living. Tn 1889 Mra, Davenport was per- maded by friends to apply for a widow's pon- sion. When the application was placed on file the pension commissioner discovered that the man she represented as her deceased husband was | not dead but still alive and drawing a pension. After an investigation the commissioner com- municated his discovery to the supposed widow. Mrs. Davenport was overjoyed and made an effort to communicate with her husband. He had in the meantime left the lone star state and had taken ups clam in Oklahoma territory, but Commissioner Raum finally succeeded reaching him by letter. Immediately upon re- ceipt of the good news Mr. Davenport sold bis claim and returned to Louisville, where he was met by his overjoyed wife.
