ATTEMPT TO ,1uzznE THE PRESS,


Senator Lodge has been very sue
cessful in keeping himself prominently
before the public ever since he be-
came a senator. Before that time he
managed to get a good deal of no
toriety by personally conducting his
senatorial campaign. When in Europe
! the past summer he was very bellicose
towards England. and his war-lil1e
/ talk was telegraphed across the At
lantic. But he has capped the climax
of all this by charging, in the Senate,
/ that Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer, the proprie-
/ tor of the New York World, had been
violating the statutes of the United
| States by ascertaining, as a matter
of news, the opinions of the Prince of
Wales and others on the Venezuelan
| boundary controversy, and the views
o European financiers on the new
| United States loan.
The provision of the revised sta
tutes with whose violation he is
charged, is section $685.. It prohibits
arr citizen of the United States. on
penalty of fine and Imprisonment,
be oil written. with any officer or
agent OF a foreign government, the
purpose of which is to influence ac-
ton in pending international Ms
.pute or to interf~re with "a meas.;re
of the United States"
Senator Lodge, who nothing if
not politician, declared these COM
munications were for the purpose of
forcing us from our position" and
making the country dependent upon a
syndicate Of bankers. The very op-
posite Of this was the desire of the
World. It urged the popular loan
idea, and to further it telegraphed all
the national banks of the country to
know what amount of such a loan
they would take. If that Is violating
United States statute. then let Mr..
Lodge make the most of it.
Behind all this there is still graver
and more important question. 1t is
the right Of the people to know what
is public opinion Cd a public measure.
They depend upon the daily press to
make known what that public opinion
is. When the day comes that the peo-
pie of the United States shall be for
hidden to know what public opinion
on any question is, whether it be the
opinion of the American people or of
foreign nations. and to express their
own opinions, an onslaught will have
been made upon their rights and
liberty. This country has free insti-
tutions, but when the day dawns that
the press shall be muzzled it win be
the birthday of tyranny. There can
be no free country without a free
press.
It is very much to be doubted
whether the interference with a meas
ure of the United States contemplated
by the statute could be made to in
clude any such thing as Mr.. Pulitzer
IS charged with. IF it does, then sec
ton 5355 of the revised statutes should
be repealed at once. Senator Lodges
position is almost too ridiculous for
condemnation. The people want and
will have the news. statutes or no
statutes to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.

FRUIT CROP is POOR.

WASHINGTON. July ls.-Generally

pies declined In condition from II to
$40 during June Prospects for ex-
cellent crops still continue in New
England, New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Iowa. Conditions are
also very fair in Nebraska and several
Of the mountain states. In other parts
or the country the condition Of the
crop is far below the average. being
lowest In the Atlantic coast states
where percentages are generally below
SO. In the Ohio Valley and certain of
the Western states not yet referred to
the figures are somewhat higher, but
nowhere above g. which Is the per-
centage returned for Illinois and Mis-

The peach crop promises to be of
medium proportions During the past
month a fall of 1873 points has taken
place. leaving the general average now
5l8. Good crops are expected in Della
ware, Maryland, Ohio, Michigan, IL
and Kansas. The crop has suffered
considerably in California as Is shown
by condition of IS, which is lower
than any July condition in that state
since 1890. In New Jersey the fruit is
falling badly. The Connecticut and
New York orchards promise very lit
tie fruit and in Pennsylvania the con-
ditions are no better than in con-
tiguous New Jersey, standing at 81.

GRAIN LOOMING UP.
Big Demand for Cereals the Cause
of Strength.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The Times-Her-
aid, in it's review of the grain trade will
tomorrow say: With everybody dis
tressed over the financial situation and
with prices of securities. good and bad
declining, wheat last week advanced &c.
and held most of it. There was no
room for doubt as to the reason of the
wheat strength in the midst Of SO much
surrounding weakness. There were
signs that the demand had overtaken
the supply and that the position of the
property was in the best sense sound.
The export demand attracted more at
tention than the other phase. From the
beginning to the close of the week there
were orders here direct from the other
side about at the market, and that
there was no pret6nse IN the matter was
shown by the BUSINESS accomplished on
each slight dip i'm the price. The ex-
port sales for the week aggregated
about 100000 bushels, and the best evil
dence of it's genuineness was the diver
sity of the inquiry. The business was
in all grades of wheat and from a great
many directions, indicating a general
and non-s speculative demand. While
this bushes wasogoing on in this par
ticuiar market theI -four men reported
improved bids, and that much other
business had BEEN already completed
without being exploited was shown by
clearances for the week. Of about g.
600, 900 bushels In addition to this help
to prices from the demand side, there
was also other help from the supply
direction The offerings of new wheat
were not UP to the expectation In the
cash crowd there was a sharp advance
in the relative prices Of the low grades
of winter wheat, and the bid price for
No. red went from lie. to 1 1-2c.
over September.
There were some sentimental bull
aids. The volume Of business showed
slight increase. There was a good deal
of talk about the desirability Of grain
as an investment SO long as there ex-
Used any uncertainty about the silver
programme of the country. While
this may seem fantastic, it will probab
ly develop that the grain markets will
logically get some benefit from the sill
yer fears. While there may be reasons
why spectators should hesitate about
buying with the silver controversy in
the balance, there is no reason why the
holder of grain should suffer in any
event. With all the silver fears real
lied and the worst results threatening,
the grain long would be the owner of
property easy to liquidate In just such
money as he chose to accept. The
same could, of course, be claimed OF
any property, but produce would be the
quickest iquidated.
