MONTHLY CROP REPORT.
The outlook for the farmer at the
beginning of last winter was not very
eDcouraging-the long drouth had, in
many places, ruined his prospect tor .
crop, and the continued dry weather
made it almost impossible until very
late to SOW his small grain for another
year, consequently the plant WAS very
small and tender to encounter q long,
hard winter. They were most all
overlooked with all kinds Of farm
stock, and it was questionable matter
with them, on account Of the low
price, as TO whethey they would buy
feed for them or sallcw them to rough

write that there have been some hors

Of stock and farm produ,ts are brigh-
tening, and the farmers are feeling
better. The crop Of small grain has
come through the winter much better
than was expected; the demand has
increased, prices have advanced, and
the indications are that the price will
be better this harvest than last. Cat
tie, hogs and sheep are all in demand
and at remunerative prices. As to
the present condition Of wheat, near

Pension Fund Excursi0n.
The police laid aside their police equip

where they entertained nearly 1900 people,
who patronized the excursion given for the

ranged that nearly every policeman on the

the river, If only for a short time. and the
affair was a success in every particular.

WOMEN ON THE SCHOOL BoArD.

The bill presented by Representative
Larrabee, providing for the appointment
of three women on the school board,
furnishes a simple and effective way of
giving effect to sentiment which I'M
doubtedly prevails to a considerab BILE ex-
tent in this city iii favor of school
committee composed of both sexes.
There are good many EN- barrassme
in the way Of electing woman to the
board. Unless the woman is nominated
at party caucus, the Australian ballot
system puts the elector to good deal of
trou bic to vote for her, and il her name
is presented to party caucus when her
opponent is a man, as is likely to be
the case, situation is created which is
very unpleasant for both, and very un-
pleasant for the electors as we'll There
is no good reason why the qualifications
of woman who presents herself for a
public position should not be as freely
discussed as those of a man. A woman
unqualified will make no better school
cor m1ttee than man unqualified. Yet
we ara unused to discussing women as
we do men, and in the present state of
the public mind it would PROBABLY be
looked upon as ungracious and ungallant
to do so. A man who would not hest
tate to rise in caucus or public meet
ing and point out the short comings of
a candidate who belonged to the male
sex, or do it through newspaper, would
be very reluctant to do the same thing
when the candidate was woman.
Hence it might come about, and verv
likely would, that woman would be
nominated simply because she was a
woman. 1t would happen sometimes,
also that the name of more than one
woman would be presented at a caucus,
and the rather delicate duty of deciding
between them would devolve entirely
on men. In heated can paign a very un-
pleasant contest might thus be precipita-
ted. But the law suggested by Mr.. Lar
rabee does away with all these trou bles.
As it makes it imperative that the Mayor
select women, there will not be the disa-
greeable dilemma of deciding whether
his appointees sh all he male or female.
hS ofsh Liako Inquiry as 10 us quallnca-
lions OF the diff erent women presented
10 him without the danger of precipitat-
ing a disagreeabl public discussion. and
women in general will be likely to have
II greater voice in the selection of the
| women memb ers of the board than they
would have il the choice were left to
party caucuses, in which the partici-
pants are men only. By this method
everything will be accomplished that
could be by electing women, and all the
disagreeable features of the latter pro
cess avoided. If there is a sea timent in
favor of putting women Oh the school
board, this is the way to put them there.
