THE dispatches inform us that the

that the election cuts no figure in

my fear Of what might come from the
fight made by them that for over a
year we have been carrying hundreds
of men on the Missouri Pacific nav
roll for whom we really had no need.
We were paying them their wages
only because we were apprehensive Of
an extreme emergency to follow the
strike by the Knights Of Labor. Now |
we hnd that the money spent in this |
way was practically wasted. We can

Topeka, Kas., April 5.-Secrelary
Sims, OF the state board Of agriculture
has furnished the following summary
OF his crop report for the month end
| ing the 3lst inst:
The light yield and unsatisfactory
price Of winter wheat for 1885, toReth-
eF with the unfavorable conditions at
seeding time, caused a reduction in
the area sOwn last fall, as compared
with 1884, Of about 10 per cent. The
greater part Of this loss is found to be
In the heavy wheat growing district
In the central portion Of the state,
known as 1.-THE wheat belt" The
counties Of Dickinson, Saline. Nc
PhersOn, Marion, SedgWick and Sum.
ner, six Of the largest wheat producing
counties OF the state, show . loss, as
compared with their areas soWn In
1884, OF 10000 acres while all the
other counties lying within the belt,
with the exception Of Russell, Ellis
worth, Rush and Ottawa, have lost
heavily.
The eastern third Of the state, less
noted for wheat culture has also redue-
ed its area materially I; but the loss, as
compared With that shown by the
reports from the central belt, is not
very important.
In the west an increased area has |
been sown. Reports from the section |
where the acreage has been aud still /
remains small shows the area sown /
last fall to be largely In excess Of any
Iormer period. AS rule farmers de-
Isyed seeding last fall much beyond
he usual period. The seed RerminRt-
ID well, however, but late, and while
he plant grew well in November and
December, IL was too feeble at the be-
thinning Of winter to Withstand the
Unusual cold weather OF January and
February. Early sown fields In some

ave been seriously injured by the
1essian fly.
A summrry Of reports from $50 cor
espondents, representing every organ
Eed county and some Of the unorRan-
led, showing the crop April Let,
leariy indicates that at least forty per
ent Of the wheat sOWn in Kansas last
al has been killed. The loss Ia the
entral part Of the state, where the
reater part of the wheat is grown is
cry heavy, ranging in the different
1unties from twenty 10 thirty per &
mt, and in the western from i've 10 =
n per cent.
The reports also show the condition
live plants to be twenty per cent o
low the vitality and growth Of aver
'e years at the period under eOnsid-
alton.

CONTRARY 70 all expectations th e
strike instead Of being brought to a
satisfactory termination last week.
continues as fer as the Irons manage
ment" is concerned, with undated
rigor. POwderly himself has been
confined for 3 number Of DAYS to a
bed OF sickness, being In a critical
condition, and his conservative voice
IL no longer heard. The extremists
seem to be masters Of the situation.
The peaceful" terms Of the agree
ment between PoWderly, Gould and
HOXie seem to have been misinter-
preted, or ct least misunderstood by
the parties thereto, and as q conse-
quence the strike was continued.
Missouri Pacific freight trains in large
numbers have been sent out from st
Louis, Sedalia, Parsons, and points In
Texas where the blockade was ia ex-
istence, but these movements were
not made by the willing consent Of
the strikers. By the hostile address
published elsewhere) issued by the
Knights Of Labor, we are TO infer that
the end will not be reached until the
Missouri Pacific management accedes
fully 10 the terms proposed by the
strikers.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Lntsr-Oceaa says that
there is q great demand among the
Democratic Congressmen for copies of
the speech which Senator Ingalls, de-
livered last week on the Edmunds
resolutions, and several hundred
Thousands copies have already been
subscribed for by Senators and Rep
resentatives for general circulation.
A Wisconsin Democrat says that the
speech will be distributed extensively
throughout the Northwest TO show
Democrats Of that section, who are al.
ready very much dissatisfied with the
tardiness Of the administration In
turning out Republicans and appoint
Ing men Of his own party, that the
Republican Senators have no Objec-
ton to the removal Of their party
friends. Large numbers Of copies are
also to be sent into the South by
Democrats for the same purpose.
The Democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives In Congress do not dare
themselves attack the administration
for fear they hsy cut of what little
prospect they have Of securing offices
for their friends, but they are per-
fectly willing to enjoy hearing Re
publicans show up the Presidents In.
and the manner in which
they have commended Senator In
gals speech, and that delivered by
Senator SpOOner as q eulOgy upon the
late Vice President Hendricks, shows
that they are anxious to secure a
vide reading for the attacks that the
Republicans are making upon him.
