Topska, May 24. The resubmission convention that has been advertised for some weeks met yesterday, with some three hundred delegates present All larger cities of the state were represented exceot Kansas City. They were of all shades of politics. The meeting was called to order by president Allen, who has been the leader of the movement In his address to the convention he announced the purpose of the gathering to be to Induce the governor to call a special, session of the legislature to submit to the people a proposition to repeal the prohibitory constitutional amendment He declared that the resubmission republicans of the state have determined td Call a halt and will hereafter vote for no man or party committed to prohibition. A committee was appointed to escort Governor Humphrey to the hall, but after a half hour's waiting the committee returned and Marsh Murdock of Wichita reported that there seemed to be a misapprehension; tbe governor would meet them as individuals, but not as a committee.

He wculd receive a committee with a memorial 8nd reply to it Another committee was then appointed, which soon returned and reported. The governor still declined to attend, but repeated that he Would receive a memorial and give it attention. Lucien Baker, the prominent attorney of Leavenworth, said the time had come when the people must arise above party lines and organize a state central committee. A memorial was read, and a vote taken that it should not be presented to the governor. The memorial claims that prohibition does not prohibit and declares that resubmlsslonists in the republican party will no longer support any man or party committed to prohibition.

A series of resolutions was adopted reciting the complaints ot the resubmission-ists at great length, and a motion was made to proceed to organize a party to carry out the purposes of the convention. This aroused opposition on the part of Mr. Douglass, who said he was a republican out and out and nothing could drive him from the party. Any movement for organization must be strictly confined to the party. Murdock endorsed the declaration and Lucien Baker opposed it, but finally a committee of fifteen was appointed to define the purposes of the proposed organization.

Original Package Legislation. Washington May 20. The Senate to-day took up tho bill referred from the judiciary committee, subjecting imported liquors to the provisions of tne laws ot the several states. Senator Wilson, of Iowa, who had introduced the bill in the first instance, and had afterward reported it back, addressed the senate in explanation and advocacy of it Senator Vest said congress could delegate a power vested in it by the constitution to any state or any number of states. He believed that it could not To do so would be to destroy the interstate clause of the constitution and all purposes for which it was enacted.

So far from having any unf ormity, there would be, in that case, diversity and hostility. Missouri would shut out one article of interstate commerce, Kansas another, Iowa another and South Carolina another, and so on until there would be chaos from one end of the Union to the other.

Loans on Farm Lands. Washington, May 21. Senator Stanford introduced a bill for loans on lands and said that he would hereafter address the senate on the subject. It provides for the establishment of a land loan bureau in tbe treasury department. The chief and deputy chief shall be appointed by the president, with salaries of $6,000 and $5,000 respectively.

The secretary of the treasury is authorized to prepare, ready for issue, United States circulating notes of the denominations of $10, $i0, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000, to the amounts as they become necessary, to be placed to the credit of the land loan bureau. These notes shall be full legal tender for public and private debts, except for interest on the public debt or for redemption of the national currency. Any citizen of the United States or any person who has declared his intention to become such, who owns unincumbered agricultural land, may apply to the land loan bureau for a loan, to be secure by lien on such land, the loan not to exceed half the assessed value of the land.

TnE general public needs encouragement, not to borrow, but to expend their labor and care as to earn a little more year by year. As a rule a man can improve his circumstances more rapidly by earning one per cent more this year than he did last than by borrowing money at one per cent. Nobody needs an extra inducement to borrow by making borrowing easy.

The Scotch ship Highlander reports seeing a 6hark basking in the Indian Ocean that was eixty-fivo feet long, and with a mouth large enough to take in a pork barrel, and there is no need of any other sailor trying to beat the story, That shark is long enough, and has got mouth enough for any business that is likely to be assigned to him, and there no call for a bigger one. All superstitions are contrary to reason. A man is no more likely to die within a year if he dines with twelve others than if he dines by himself. Perhaps he is less likely to die so soon, because good company aids digestion, and good digestion tends to the prolongation of life. Yet very sensible and hardheaded people dislike to dine with thirteen at the table, if they chance to make the count.

Public poliey should determine what kind, of punishment should be inflicted on murderers. The leading object of it should be to lessen the frequency of the crime of taking human life. The question is not one of sentiment, but of expediency. Most porsons who have carefully studied tbe matter have come to the conclusion that fear of the death penalty docs prevent many from taking the life of another. A writer in the Naturalist tells how he tames scorpions and centi-podes.

Like many other feats of magic, the thing is easy enough when you know how it is done. Our scientist just nips off the tip of the scorpion's sting and the poisoned hooks of the centipede's jaws. After this has been done, he says, the insects can be handled with perfect impunity. But who wants to handle scorpions or centipedes, anyway? Schooling alone will not make a good doctor. He must be a man with natural apitude for his work, and with the education which comes from practical experience as well as that which is gained in schools.

But without the latter he is apt to bs a bungler, unless he is a genius of uncommon brilliancy, and even in that case scientific knowledge acquired in the usual way will greatly faciliate his progress and increase his usefulness. ted on a telegram from Secretary Blaine i sent into Kansas and sold there, said that a bottle of beer cannot ueing iaia Deiore tne czar, instructing Consul Wurtz to leave tho rnnntrv nnlAsn th The Tariff Bill Passed.
