Prof. Snow reports April warm and
cloudy, with frequent rainfall, al
though the total precipitation was
slightly below the average. The hard

buds. The last light frost of spring
occurred on the tenth. The wind We
lOcity.was a little above the normal.
y few snow flakes appeared OIL the

month was highly favorable to crops.
We believe if those who have been
inclined to criticise Mr.. Funston for
his course on the pension question will
read his speech printed on our last
page, they will find their criticism dis
armed. Mr.. Funston made hard
fight for a service pei: Jon, but finding
the odds against him, he supports the
Morrill, bill as the next best thing. We
do not see how any reasonable fault
en- be found with him for so doing.

this same gentleman discussing an ar
