The OrOps.

The weather conditions which have pre-
vailed here for now nearly two weeks, and
have been reported at times from over
large part of Minnesota and the adjacent
States and territory, are beginning to create
some uneasiness in business circle most de-
pendent upon good crops. But, after care
fnl inquiry yesterday ,as TO, weather apd
crop indications in all directions the GFoBE
is satisfied that there is as yet no serious
cause for uneasiness. The storms, though of
frequent occurrence, have been generally
local, and though in some limited districts
the crops have been damaged,
in all parts of Minnesota, north
ern Wisconsin, northern Iowa, and
Dakota-with few and small exceptions
young crops are looking better than ever
before at this time OF year. Some wheat
fields in Oimsted county, and others of the
southeastern counties of the State, have been
deluged with rain until the owners fear that
their grain has been water killed. But not
one in ten of the fields in that part Of the
State can have been thus submerged. In
the southwestern part OF the State there has
been good deal Of rain, and rain indica-
tons still prevailed yesterday, but the crop
indications are generally very favorable.
The same may be SAID Of the lower
and middle Minnesota valley. In
the upper Minnesota valley and in
the western border counties it is claimed
that no more rain has fallen than was need
ed and the crops are said to be growing
finely. The same may be said Of the upper
Mississippi country and all the central part
OF the State. Concerning the extreme
northwestern part of the State and, of the
Bed river county in Msnitoba, there were
reports some time ago Of overfows that
threatened to damage crops. Later sdvices
are to the effect that there have been no
overfows of the cultivated lands, but the
lowest lands of that region are submerged
and the uplands are said to be very wet.
Yet the wheat crop of that region is growing
spiendidly and keeps its brilliant color. OF
Northern Dakota, near the Red river
valley the same may be said, while west there
has not been an excessive rainfall. In short,
while all over this State, and, probably all
over the northwest, there has been good
deal Of rain, in some limited sections too
much rain, and here and there narrow strips
of country where storms or foods have dam
aged crops, the general condition of crops
is more than usually favorable. And it may
be we'll to bear in mind, while the rain and
storm season lasts, that all damages viii he
reported, but little be said about the un-
injured crops. 49,.

Moro Charges Against AldrIoh.

Additional charges have been received at the
war department against Sergeant Ossiau Aid
rich of the signal corps recently court-mar-
tIaled for desertion, and who has gained consid-
erablenotori ty from charge of bigamy made
against him. The latest chare involve his
official int gritty while stationed at Mobile,
Ala, and are to the effect that he got
vouchers for lho expenses Of his sta
tion signed and hen caused the
delivery Of a good share of the money to Miss
Lizzie Smith, young woman OF Mobile. The
charges are brought by persons who claim to
haye been swindled by him in this manner.
II is probable that another courL.martial will
be oraani2ed to investigate those charges, and
no action will be taken upon the findings
of the court.martial that recently tried him
until the second one has completed its work.

tanned an article In Wednesdays issue charg-
ing that four carpenters were discharged from
the postofIice department for refusing TO pay
their assessments. As In the case Of other
similar publications in the Post, the records
show that the statements in this article will
fully misropresentcd the facts The following
letter, which the editor Of the Post refused to
publish, gives n plain statement of the case,
and when compared with the publication In
the Post shows what remarkable taleut and
ingenuity are employed in constructing dem
ocratic campaign lies;

W. =, Siblcy, John II. Keenan,, Martin d. King and
