The Report OF Bh0 WeAGnor SerVtce Ouul-
married. Briefly.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 24.-The week
ly weather-crop bulletin of the Kan
sab weather service for the week ended
tho 29d says; The temperature fell be-
low the normal during the first days OF
the week and light frosts formed over
the state, but the warm days follow
ing have carried the temperature above
the normal and at the close of the
week there was an accumulated excess
of about 20 degrees. The rainfall,
however, remains deficient, except In
Grant, Trego, Ness, Elk and the north
eastern counties, though fairly good
rains have fallen in the northern coun-
ties.
In the eastern division farming op'
erations are being vigorously pushed
Corn planting is well along in the cen
trail counties and has begun in the
northern. Corn is coming up as fai
north as the Kaw river, while in the
extreme south farmers have begun cul
tivating it. The greatest advance
however, is in the fruit trees and grass
the orchards are full of bloom and the
prairies are carpeted with green
Wheat and oats are looking fine
though rain is much needed generally
In the middle division the orchards
are giving fine promise now; muct
corn is going in; wheat still improvin
some; oats doing well, and garden
nicely. The sand and dirt storm thu
first of the week was probably un
precedented. 1t did some damage by
blowing away loose dirt. A good rail
is greatly needed.
In the western division the sever
wind the first of the week filled the al
with the dry sand and caused consider
able damage to growing crops an
fruit blossoms Wheat does not we
give much promise and some fields ar
being put into other grains. Oats
barley and grass are making goo
Roadway, and much stock feed is bein
put in in the shape Of Katfir and Jeru
salem corn. Fruit here, as elsewhere
gives abundant promise.

A CRUSADE.
The New York Reform Club win
Fight Free SilVerites.
THE SIXTEEN TO ONE IDEA,
What rs Told at Washington About tho
Spread of the silver Sentiment In the
West-wiplng Out Old POlIt'
icaI Lines.

NEW YORK, April 24.--An important
crusade against the free coinage OF sill
yer will be inaugurated in the metrop-
oils at once. A series of editorial ar
ticles will appear regularly in nearly
1000 newspapers all over the country,
beginning this week, attacking the fall
lacies of the free silver advocates, The
head and center of the metropolitan
movement is the Reform club, of New
York, which numbers nearly 1000 of
the most representative men of the
metropolis, and twice as many more
who are scattered all over the union.
The club has been working quiz
city for some months past, but
now that all indications point to
presidential campaign next year,
in which the leading issue will be the
free coinage of silver, they feel that an
aggressive crusade is necessary.
Former Secretary Fairchild, the presi-
dent of the Reform club, is enthusiasts
tic over the outlook, and when asked
about the matter he said: "We are
greatly interested in the Memphis
sound money convention, and feel de-
cidedly encouraged. We certainly
shall cooperate with that body in ad'
vocating correct principles of finance.
The currency question is bound to play
an important part in the coming presi'
Dental campaign, and the friends OF
recommendation cannot enter the lists
too soon against the silver fanaticism
that abounds in many parts of the
country. 1t is in the west that we
shall have the hardest work, and 1t is
for this reason that we have organized
our forces to combat false theories OF
finance. If this country is to prosper
it must be established on firm 6nal
cial footing, and not on the shiftin?
sands of silver free coinage. OF course
if we get international bimetallisIn that
is another thing"

of the editor of the Portland Oregon

free and unlimited coinage o
silver at the ratio of 16 to !
It is everywhere manifest, and
absolutely wipes out old politica
lines. The reception given to exon
gresham Sibley and Gen. A. j. Warner
