AN EXTRA SESSION RUMOR.
from the Topeka Capital.

from the Topeka Capital.
We see that Representative Rice has
written to ask Speaker Elder whether
his party will agree to consider nothing
else than the worlds fair bill if an extra
session is called.
If an extra session is called the legisla-
ture may sit thirty days at cost of $780,
600 to the state and legislate upon any
subject under heaven. They may resur-
rect bills stolen, as Ben Rich charges, by
Elder and run them through. They may
agitate all kinds of wild-eyed financial
schemes and again put the state to
shame and imperil its credit. In short,
they may do anything but grant an ap-
preparation for the fair. The only thing
the state could have to depend upon as
against these possibilities would be
Elders agreement not to take up any
thing but the special business. Mr.. Rice
may count on Elders being fair in the
matter, but a good many other people
will recall the speakers celebrated utter
ance:
II care nothing about fairness. have
the power"

Atchison Patriot: &C Wood Davis.
Kansas City's authority on-wheat. makes
the prediction that within four years the
United States in place of being the great
est seller of wheat to the markets of Eu-
ropean and tropical countries will itself
become a buyer. Mr.. Davis estimates
from the statistics in his possession that
the probable American wheat crop in
1895 will not exceed 400. 500 600 bushels.
while the certain American demand will
be 407 100000 bushels, requiring prob
able importation of $4,000 bushels. "
We quote the foregoing to correct a
wrong impression it is calculated to make
upon the reader. The statement as To
the figures, etc, has been quoted in
these columns, but the mistake is in
crediting Mr.. Davis to kansa CITY. or
that his estimates Were made for that
place. That that place as a grain and
produce market finds it expedient To
quote Mr.. Davis is compliment 10 him.
but he will hardly appreciate as a COM
pliment the effort TO remove him from
his Sedgwick county farm-home to a
city III another state.

Fxnir;nc sumr,er's soft and ssddened sigh
Sweers nournfuliy. asd lions homeless halls
Hurl to and fro the seasons drea-. death cry.
Cold from the dying summer gods broad

The breath that bore that last. sad sigh wa

And chilled throughout the halls Of Heavenly

And 10 the scented, balmy air discomfort

Each seraph then the dirge Of summer softly
sings;
Each angel closer clasps his robes Of mYky

And from the multi-milliou shapely. shiveriuy

Chaste clouds of pearly plumage take their

Down through the soundless, quaking vo.ds
they go,
To fall upon the quivering earth afar. As
