Crop Bulletin.

The Minnesota weather bureau
makes the following report for the
central section of the state for the
week ending Monday, July %:
The rains the past week have done
some damage, but on the whole did
much more good than harm. The
grain is generally heavy and has
lodged very badly; much will come
up again with favorable weather,
but yet there will remain great
deal that will be exceedingly difficult
to cut. Wheat and oats are. filling
out we'll and in some places their
harvest is begun. Rye and barley
are nearly all cut and the rye is
mostly stacked. Corn and potatoes
are growing finely and the rains
have removed all danger of drouth,
except in a few counties in the west
portion of the section. The hayrrop
is small but there will be plenty OF
straw. All vegetables are doing
finely. No damage OF consequence
has been reported from bugs or in
sects. Pastnrage is much improved.
The maximum temperatures ranged
between $50 and $50 and the min
ipum between 40 and $50.

There is some discussion as to
whether the city council would have
a right to reconsider their action on
the petition to vacate the streets.
The aldermen had about two
months in which to think about the
matter, and they probably acted
according to their Judgment. If any
OF them displayed poor Judgment, it
will impress on them the ACCESSIBILITY
Of hereafter voting as they mean.

A little discussion was aroused in
the council Saturday evening over
the suggestion of a property owner
that the city should either fill the
street or build trestle work for a
sidewalk, at his property. The city
has no moral or legal right to spend
public money in making extensive
street improvements for the benefit
of abutting property. Villages
usually do SO, and thousands OF
dollars have been spent in Little
Falls to fill in low streets, where the
Improvement was clearly OF the
greatest benefit to abutting prop
erty. Since the city organization
was perfected the old system has
been followed, but sooner or later it
must be abandoned, as the principle
is wrong, and such use OF public
money is unjust.

School Meeting.

The annual school meeting for
the Little Falls district was
held Saturday afternoon and
evening from to O'Clock. The
reports OF the officers n were
submitted, and the other business to
transact will he the election of two
members of the board Of education
the terms of F. Hoffman and l.. E.
Richard expiring at this time. Both
gentlemen are valuable members of
the board, staunch friends OF the
schools, and we'll informed as to the
needs of the institutions. Mr..
Richard was selected only few
months ago to fill Il vacancy caused
by the resignation OF DR.. Fortier.
aud his selection by the board evil
IDENTITY gave entire satisfaction to the
community. Mr.. HOffnlan's services
have certainly been OF value to the
schools, and he il one of the most
active and efficient members OF the
board. ANY contests in the past
have been based on some action
regarding employing teachers, or
business rivalry-both questions
entering into the election last year.
This year we know of no complaints
about teachers employed or not EN-
ployed. and certainly no business
interests are involved. The Demo-
crat says, regarding Mr.. Hoffman's
successor lit is generally admitted
that he should come from the Second
ward" On some questions ward
lines DO cut quite figure, but the
public will be surprised to learn that
locality is an important qualifica-
ton for a member of the school
board. Equal facilities have always
been given for education In all parts
of the city. and n" complaints are
known on that score.
The city is to be congratulated on
the excellent condition of the public
schools at this time az evinced by the
rapid and substantial progress made
by the pupils, and the good will In
which the public holds the corps Of
teachers and the board.

see another bond issue to make good the

any reason why accounts of their goings

Senator Frye is recognized as one OF the
ablest 10 say the least, of the men on the
committee OF foreign relations. This fact
alone were it not that he is one OF the
most entertaining speakers in the country
made his remarks before the Portland
club. Mondsy evening, on the subject OF
ou- foreign policy Of unusual interest
and ,isnIficance His review Of the
foreign policy of President Cleveland
administration was as mastery as it was
scathing. Mr.. Frye was willing to start
upon the premise that Mr.. Cleveland was
honest and intended to be patriotic, but
his knowledge of public affairs Is exceed
ingly limited. and his self conceit is with
ont anv Limitation whatever. And be-
cause Of this self conceit his knowledge OF
foreign affairs was just as great when
he was first elected as it is now. But
Mr.. Cleveland has allowed this self con
ceit to dominate his party. He has
listened to none Of the leaders Of the
Democratic party, some of whom would
have taught him better Isolated and
fortified within this egotism he has
tbwarted Americanism at every hand ;
turn. Mr. Frye pointed out how the
President in defeating the Nicaragua
clnal project and pocketlng the treaty hifi
wrought more injury than could be offset
by his good deeds Mr. Bayard had scared
the Democratic senators by haunting III
tt cir faces the Bulwer-Clayton treaty
which Mr.. Frye said had been as deao us
Julius Caesar for thirty years. The
speaker also referred TO the excellent
claims against the Canadians on account
of infringement upon American privileges
in fishery matters and how Messrs. Bay
ard and Cleveland negotiated treaty
that DESTROYED every valid claim we had;
how they attempted to frame an cxtradi-
tlon treaty, which but for the Senate
would have surrendered the rights of
paturalized citizens. He also clearly
showed how the President and his secre-
tary of state had played into the hands
of England and Germany in the Samoan
question, how his Hawaiian policy twas
as outrageous As man can conceive" AS
to this talk about Oiney enforcing the
Monroe doctrine the senator said, Il say
Olney won if the President won Mt AS
to the demands of Canada for part Of
Alaska Mr.. Frye said, 'if they hurry up
they will get it just us sure as fate The
arraignment consisted in summary of
facts which all in any way acquainted
with the matters discussed must admit
if only to themselves. 1t is significant,
that so far as argument goes one may
presume in the premises that Grover
Cleveland possesses all the personal
virtues described in the decalogue and
approved in modern ethics and yet to
state actual occurrences, to lay before the
average audience simply the records of
his public acts and utterances, is oonclu
sive enough that he Is not as chief ex
