TO CALL EXTRA SESSION
THE GOVERNOR OF NEBRASKA WILL CON-
VENE THE LEGISLATURE.
PopuIist State Administration is Hot Over
Railroad Decision-- The United States
Supreme Court Scored.

Topeka. Kan. March 10.-Ihc Popu-
list administration OF the Statc Of Kan
sas gave out a public address today,
bristling with severe criticism OF the
recent decision of the United States
Supreme court in the Nebraska maxi
mum freight rate case. The address Is
particularly significant in that Governor
Leedy has already taken steps prelimin-
AIRY to the calling of the State Legisla-
turc in special session with the especial
purpose cnacting a maximum freight
rate law. While the address, liz given
out over the signature Of The governor
it had first been approved by Chief JUS
ticc Doster. Of the State Supreme court
and other prominent PoDullst6.
The governor begins his address with
the statement that for Il year the press
dispatches have said that the opinion
in the Nebraska case would be adverse
to the State. and he inSinuates that
these forecasts were put out i'll al
vance by persons connected with the
court in order to feel the public pulse.
Then he says:
The opinion has been handed down
and the dispatches say that it Is a clean
victory for the railroads.. On the con
trary it is an un-clean victory i'll every
aspect Of the case, showing that, no mat
ter bow carefully the robes Of justice
are folded about the personnel Of the
Supreme court. these robes can no long
or conceal the cloven hoOf Of official
~mal-feaSancc and usurpation.'
The governor declares that the con-
stitution Of Nebraska gives the IL gls-
lature power to establish maximum
charges for transportation. and that
the Supreme cour has tried to abro-
gate it. He challenges Justice Harlan's
declaration that a corporation IS a per
son under the fourteenth amendment
to the Federal constitution. which he
quotes, adding:
Nobody but Il slave or n knave will
yield assent to the hideous distortion Of
meaning which Judge Harlan gives to
the word person" as used IN the
fourteenth amendment. and upon which
he bottoms his infamous decision, and
which shows to what depths Of lnlquity
the Supreme court Of the United States
has descended
In conclusion Governor L~cdy states
that his maximum rate bill VIII be pre-
scented to the Kansas Legislature in
such shape that to decide against 1T the
court must reverse its decision in the
Nebraska case, and he states that If
the court still pursues the corrupt and
by changing its decisions TO suit the
shifting interests Of the railroad cor
porationS.' the remedy Will be with the
people in their dealings with the courts,
or in building railroads Of their own

IN TIME OF STORM.

We know not what the hour
May bring to us-What wrecks may
Strew the strand.
But the brave flag still ripples a white
shower
OF stars DER all the land.
We know not when the storm
With all its lishtnings from the blue
may break;
But Honor shines a shield for freedoms
Though carth's foundations shake.
We only know the sod
Is sacred with the blood that heroes
gave,
And the sun circling in the smile OF God
Shines not upon a slave.
We know that on the hills,
Or where the storm winds OF the
oceans roam.
THIS thought alone the patriots bosom
thrills
One heart-onc hope-onc home.

Extent of Damage Much More Than

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 19.-Details
OF the hurricane are constantly coming
In which show the disaster to have been
Infinitely worse than was at first re-
ported. The destruction at Barbados
was fully equal to that at st. Vincent.
while st. Lucia also suffered consider
ably. The island of Barbados present.
ing practically fiat surface, was COM
pletely swept by the vortex of the cy-
clone, the result being that the entire
area OF cultivation was obliterated,
while majority of the residences and
other buildings were destroyed, and
two-thirds of the dense population of
100 to the square mile were rendered
homeless.
The population was seeking shelter at
Bridgetown and other centers, only to
find them little more than masses of
ruins. The consequent distress is I'M
paralleled in the history of the West
indies, and the governor has cabled
that instant and continuous outside re-
lief is absolutely necessary in order to
avert widespread famine and, possibly,
a resultant pestilence.
The actual extent Of the fatalities has
not yet been ascertained, owing to the
extent Of the ruin wrought throughout
the island.
Apparently the damage in st. Lucia
was comparatively less enormous, al
though very serious. Many plantations
and houses were destroyed, temporarily
paralyzing industry. The loss of life
in st. Lucia was comparatively small
No estimate of the shipping casual

Some Famous Prayers.

Two prayers parallel each other in
quaintness Of thought and speech. The
first is that Of La Hire, Joan Of Arcs
choice ruffian, but, according to Mon
strelet, no worse than any other of his
time:
"Fair Sir God, I pray thee do to La
Hire as he would do to thee vert thou
La Hire and he were God. I"
A curious parallel this with:
Here leth Martin Elginbrod;
Have mercy on his soul, God,
As he would have if he were God
And thou vert Martin Elginbrod.
Quoted from memory, on the authori-
ty of George Macdonald, an epitaph. l
think, in an Aberdeen burial ground.
But nobler prayer, paralleled by
some passages in our own Bible. is that
of Socrates in the Ph@do:
80 beloved Pan and all ye other
gods Of this place, grant me to become
beautiful in the inner man and that
whatever things have may be at peace
with those within. May deem the
wise man rich, and may have such a
portion of gold as none but a prudent
man can either bear or employ"
Is this SO very unlike that lovely
prayer of Agur where he says, "Give
me neither poverty nor riches, and is
the one holy and tho other not?-Tem-
pie Bar. ...

Washington, Sept. 19.-The public will
greatly appreciate the convenience af-
.forded through an order issued by First
Assistant Postmaster General Heath,
which authorizes postmasters to issue
money orders payable at their own Off
ces. This practice has not been hereto
fore followed and the new departure
will be an accommodation to a great
number of people, who. not. having ac-
count at a bank, desire to follow this
economical and absolutely safe method
in payment of bills, etc. These money
orders may now be used, for illustration,
in payment of gas bills, merchants and
grocers' bills, etc. In smaller places the
person indebted to farmer may have
an order drawn in favor of the latter,
payable to him at any time, and sent to
him by neighbor who obtains and de-
livers the mail for the neighborhood
