CONFLICTING REPORTS.

The actual condition of affairs in
the Northwest with regard to the
need of harvest hands is somewhat
confused by conflicting reports from
dliIerent sections. Letters have been
received by the mayor of ST. Paul
and by the G l o e, stating the
urgent need of more farm help if the
splendid crop Of this year is to be
harvested without loss. Some of
these put the estimate of men re-
quired high in the thousands. so
that if a strong effort is not made
much grain will be wasted. Other
letters have been received by the
mayor and by the Globe which
not only take exactly the opposite
ground, but protest vociferousIy
against what the writer's claim to
be an imposition on labOring men.
These state that the country is al
ready full of men seeking work at
low wages, and that to send any
more at present is to subject them to
disappointment and loss.
1t is not difficult to reconcile these
differing opinions, assuming them
both to be honestly based upon their
writer's views of the situation. Diff
ferent conditions exist in different
parts of the Northwest. In some
the harvest is already we'll under
way, and farmers are shorthanded.
III others the grain will not be ready
to begin cutting for two weeks at
least, and in the meantime there is
no demand for employees. The truth
is, as we take it, that there will be
plenty of work from this time on
until cold weather begins for every
unemployed man in this part of
the country. There is a big crop to
be harvested, and it will need all
our surplus labor to take proper
care of it. The railroad companies
and the employment agencies are
pretty conversant with the needs
of the country, and are engaged
actively in placing labor where it is
wanted.
We wish to repeat once more with
emphasis that the most desirable
arrangement for keeping the supply
OF farm labor in the Northwest equal
to, and not in excess of, the de-
mand, is a more systematic organ
ization among the farmers them
selves. In no other way can their
wants be made known to the public.
There ought to be in each county,
at least, and in each township, if
possible, some sort of organization
acting under the direction of the
! farmers, to which could be sent early
in the season an estimate of the
| amount of help wanted, and from
which labor might be obtained. The
sort Of hit-Or-miss adjustment that
now governs either leaves the farm
er unable to obtain men that he
needs, or permits the country to be
oVer-run with a lot of unfortunate
seekers after labor when none is to
be found. City labor is so we'll or
gained that a competent man can
find the place where he will fit, if
there is such; and if not, he is able
to ascertain it, and look elsewhere
Country labor cannot be organized
as completely, but enough can be
done to adjust supply and demand
far better to the satisfaction of
| both parties than is possible under
the system Of guessing at the need
of farm help according to scattering
and not always reliable, reports OF
! the situation.

THE Willimantic bank sensation still bo

THE Willimantic bank sensation still continues the leading street and newspa- per topic. The assumption which seems to have been adopted, that the banks as- sets with the amount of assessable stock will not make good the amount of de- pOsits held, may not be true. It seems largely to be based on acceptatiOu of 8 theory that such things always grow worse as they develOp-nOt always 8 safe prediction. But the case is a very bad one. The bank is worse than wrecked, and two savings institutions suffer with it. The sad feature of the case is the ruined reputation. Young Risley's death was regarded as a public misfortune. Communities in which he was known mourned sadly, and most kindly things were said of him. Terrible is the awak- ening to the true state of the case. In most such instances there are mitigating circumstances. These seem lacking In this case. It is said that last fall Mr. Risley was told that he had Bright's dis ease, and could not live until June. The coincidence appears that most of the forged paper natures in June.
 THE state of Connecticut, through it's organized representatives, made a fair contract with the Berlin bridge company fol the construction of a bridge over the Connecticut river. The company is an honorable one, above suspicion of in- trigue. It contracted heavy expense tow ard fulfillment of it's contact. Now it is proposed to annul this contract, and pay the company $20OOO indemnity. The sum is insufficient, and in any case the whole action is questionable, either considered as a business policy, or as an above-board transaction.
 In the legislature of 1899 there was an act of disreputable lobbying. A fee of 5000 was paid to a law firm, presum- ably for werk done in securing passage of an act taking the buI den of the Hartford bridge from five towns and putting it upon the state. Now it is proposed to regard this act as a wrong Gas the bribing part undoubtedly was) and to right it, by per petratiOn of a greater wrong, making the towns of Hartford and East Hartford alone bear the burden, and also wrOnging the bridge company, which made fair con- tract with men authorized by the state to treat upon the subject. The legislature should reconsider.
