The Australian states are just har-
yesting an enormous wheat crop-es-
timated at 100000 bushels, COM
pared with previous high record OF
43,000,000 The republican party has
had good deal of luck in getting the
mullet heads to believe that it had
the power to make good times, be-
cause there has Leen shortage in
some of the crops every year of late
in foreign countries But when the
great crops of wheat in Australia and
the Argentine republic come upon the
market the leaders of the party will
have a somewhat more diiicult propo-
sltion to face. How will they keep
up the price of wheat then?

Assemblyman Morris at Home.

Assmblyman Morris came up from
Madison last Friday and spent day
or two in this city, returning Satur-
day evening. He says that the leg
islature is now getting down to
work and the indications are that
much of the important Legislation
will be disposed of with all possible
dispatch. He believes that in the
Assembly the railway tax bill and
primary election bill will meet with
but little opposition, but what the
fate of these bills will be in the SEN
ate he would not venture to predict.
There seems to be a general DISPOSE
ton, he says, to carry out the party
pledges and he can see but little evil
dence of friction existing between
the governor and the legislative
branch of the state government.
When asked as to whether or not
the lobbyists were on hand, Mr..
Morris said: Eyes you may bank or
that; they are there in full force, but
just what they will be able to accom-
plish is hard to say. I cannot speak
for the other house but as for the
Assembly they seem to have given
it up as bad job. They are royal
good fellows IN their way-they
would not be there if they were not,
and exceeding gracious and hospit-
able i Mr.. Morris believes the ses-
sion will not be as long as usual
