The Journal fears that the great mass

which 1000 farmers of the Palouse coun-
try are reported to have been present, in
order 10 devise ways and means TO procure
extensions of credit, was an unfortunate

Several ofour exchanges seem to think
that Gov. McGraw will soon call q special
session OF the legislature TO try to elect
United States senator in the place of John
II Allen. whom the senate refused to seat.
The CouTiv heartily hopes that this is
not the case, as the last session of the leg
isiature demonstrated so fully the
composed. The people are already suf-
heientiy burdened without saddling upon
them the expense Of this extra session.
ROslya Courier.
The people don't want an extra session
TO select senator or TO enact q stay law.
The lawmakers fooled away the entire ses-
sion before; why give the politicians an
other chance TO trade and air themselves
The nation would be better of If legisla-
lures and congress only met once in ten
years: there would be less reformer. and
more land cleared off aud better roads
The question of the day would be " no

cattle or have the best ABRAMS ed factory or
mill, instead of who will be postmaster or
senator. The masses are going crazy over
politics. There are too many senators in
