1t was proclaimed pretty much all over
the country, and particularly this part of
it, all along through the spring months
that the fruit crop was safe and would
be unprecedentedly large. From the
price at which all fruits are held up to
the present hour one would be forced to
the conclusion that the orchards had
yielded their average short crops. One
of three things is very evident: The
fruit crop is short, it is not ready for the
market, or it is being marketed some
where else. If not the owners of orch
ards are finding very bonanza in them
this season.

administration, while from Missouri
twenty-six persons and span Of chest

1t was freely predicted by the opposi-

not remain there longer than it should

would not be permitted to dominate the

prophets have had him at variance with

From the expressions of fraternal feel
ings between the European members of
the international labor congress in Paris.
particularly on the part of the French
and German members, it would seem
that the expenditure of something like
ten million dollars, or any other large
sum, by France for war preparations is a
needless piece of extravaganza. Unfor-
tunately, however, the wishes Of the
common people are not consulted by
those who manipulate the affairs of state
over there.

The theory of the electrical expert in
New York, in substance that a person
who is apparently killed by coming in
contact with an electric current may be
resuscitated by the body being stripped
and laid upon the damp ground, was
pretty thoroughly demonstrated in Ev-
ansville, Indiana, Monday, when num-
Der of persons who it was thought had
been killed by electricity in that city
were restored without serious harm by
being laid upon the ground.

AN UNREASONABLE SCARE.

The township assessors claim that they
found it very difficult matter to secure
crop statistics from the farmers this year,
especially of small grains, the farmers
claiming that the statistics were used by
spectators TO bear the market. The
wrong that they work their own county
and therefore their own interests by such
a course is much greater than any bene-
fit that might possibly be derived from
the other course. As is shown by the
number of acres under cultivation and
the number of acres in fruits and in gar
dens. etc, 1t is very clear that less than
seventy per cent of the wheat and corn
were returned. There was two hundred
and seventy thousand five hundred and
fifty-one acres of small grains returned.
The following is the acreage of the diff
ferent small grains as estimated from the
returns made as above indicated.

Every congressman when interviewed
says he is opposed to the civil service
law. Every senator who makes politi-
cal speech denounces it. These two
classes having the power, and the power
alone, to do away with the law, the
question is, why don't they DO it? They
either lie or otherwise fail to vote their
convictions, and are therefore false in
both attitudes
