LEGIsLATrRE.-This body is fast drawing to

report Of the Conference Committee ON the
railroad bill and another committee has been
appointed. There is also failure to agree on
the apportiOnment bill, but conference corr
mittee will doubtless fix that all right. The
Legislature should not adjourn without pass
ing an aPportionment bill IL SO, Kansas would
lose her entire representation in the Congress
two years hence. II will not do to rely upon
Gov. Clicks callirg an extra session for this
purpose, for the loss of seven Republican mem-
hers might he too important in deciding the
political complexion Of the House.
We are sorry TO see disposition in the Legs-
lature to extravagance and jobbery, and use
less appropriations. The appropriations gen.
orally are large; new offices being created,
to become heavy expense TO the State; aud
money is being expended in places where State
money should not be allowed TO go. There is
now n proposition before the Legislature, Civ

books, compelling the schools TO use such books,
and entailing loss of millions of dollars upon
the people, by rendering worthless the supplies
