This is not the first granger legislature which the stato has scen, but. it is the fivst in which o majority of the members nave declared that both the old parties are hopelessly corrupt and that the welfave of the state demand & new government in which neither must have a voler, In the lower houss seventy of the 125 mem- bers are small farmers, whoso homesteads for the most part are heavily encunmbered with mortgages, They will come to Topeka de termined to legislate against corporations of all kinds and strike a death blow to trusts It has been the history of such legislatures in the past that corporations have fared well at their hands, Thero will bethree large corvuption funds for distribution, two of which are atready apparent.

The county officers-clect, whose salaries have all been recommended to be reduced to starvation wages by the revision committee, have orzanized to defeat the bill which been drafted.

If the panel runs short it can be filled by order of the court by the clerk. No person can serve on a jury more than once a year. There is also a provision to prevent officials from sum- moning bystanders, and other minor details, said by lawyers to make a good bill. The bill as it now reads refers to cities of 100,000 or more population. Mr. Snell, county attorney for Lancaster county, requested tiat the quired population ve ' reduced to 75,000, as in that case it would include his county.

Trouble, like & huge and ugly phantom, contiaes to pursue the inspector of plumb- ing. Yesterday he was of the opinion that hie was out of the difficulty which he brolight upon himself, but later developments indi- ente that such is not the case, Yest an employe of the comptrolier's office visited the court house basement, where the inspector nolds forth, for the purpose of checking up. He was informed that matter: were in the same condition as upon the pre ceding day; that a number of vouchers had been stolen' by Jobn Bolan. T'he comptroller’s clork did not press a settlement, but returned to bis oftice, receiving an assurance that the missing amounts would be turned over before the end of the day. During the aftérnoon a reporter visited the inspector and after recciving a cordial wel- come was requested to inspect a new desk that had just been put n place. After the sk had been completed, the inspector, with les and frowns playing hide and seek over his face, opened his batteries upon Bolun, an ex-inspoctor. Then the inspe silence for a by forth and remar himself in last broke d: “Yesterday it looked as though there might have beena small shortage in_my office uccounts. but I have just completed'a statement and turned the balance over to the comptroller.” The comptroller’s office was visited and upon the question beiug asked, “Has the plumbing inspector liquidated the hittle bill he owes the city £ the man behind the desk promptly responded, “No.” It was possible that the inspector had made istake, and had turned the money in to tor wi period ppod but at visited, vut not a cent had found its wa, theeity coffers by way of the plumbing in- spector's route, The ofiice record of the city official was dropped and again bis manner of doing busi- ness in the fleld was investigated. The threc story brick building ou the southwest coruer of Sixteenth and Howard streets is owned by Charles L. Wright, who oceupfes a portion of the sccond floor for ofice purposes The first loor is 1as a drug store and the basement as shop. About De- cember 1 last, Mr. Wright, at the request of the barber, put a bath tub 1 the basement and partitioned off a_part_of the room for a bath room. The work Lad been nearly com- pleted when, on Dec ¢ 4, the inspector happened to go into the basement, and noticing that some plumbiug was bomg vone, asked who owned the building. He was given the desired Information, and going to M. Wright's oftice, said; *1sce you arve doing some plumbing and you have ot taken out a permit.” He was informed that such was the case, the owner pleading that ke did not know that one was required. “Itis,” said the major, “and that work down in the basement does not comply with the requirements of the ordinance.™ “What is wrong " usked M. with it bath room,” replied the major, “must have a yent pipe passing to the roof of the building. This you have failed to put and all that you have douc is to make sey connections, without making any provisions for the escape of the gas.” “That is true” continued Mr. Wright, “but to do this would cost from §75 to $100." “Tdou't varve for that,” responded the - spector: “the work wust be performed i such a munner as to comply with the o dinances,’! . “Yes, that s /true, but can’t we fix this P said Mr. Wright, o major thought for a moment, and then dea popped into_his mind_aud, brighten- ing up, hesaid: “‘Pay me §2.50 and I will let it o, Mr. Wright was glad to settle upon this basis and at once drew a check on the United States National bank for the amount, at the srmo time asking for a receipt. “Yeu don’t meed any receipt,’ answered the inspector, “tor when this check comes i to you it will be evidence of payment." On December 4 the check passed through the clearing house and was returned to the malkor. Strange as it may scem, there is no re in'the office of thé plumbing inspector show that this amount was ever credited the city, nov was a duplicate received for the amount ever turned over to the comptroller, though the December report was handed in some time ugo. ‘The inspector hus proven himself to be as vigorous a politician as he is a skillful feo collector, During the ¢ity campaign in his employ he had an inspector named Johu rak. John was an expert plumber and had served faithfully under Robert Duncan o twao years, and had been lauded to the skies by the present incnmbent. Oue morning Jobn was called into the oftice and was asked if he was intending to work for D, H. Wheeler for the s'in the negative, and the ne 1 he was discharged.

The average yield por acre was 20.7 bushels and the supply for consumption per head of popu- lation 23 bushels, or 11 bushels less than last year. The rate of yield was lower in 1887 tnd 1881, years of very severe drought. The aggregaty wheat area is d6,087,154 acres, nearly the'same as in_ 18579, and the yield per acro,1.1 bushels.
