The calamity hOwlers are holding a
jubilee over the acquittal of Henry o.
Havemeyer, president Of the Sugar
Trust Their cause of rejoicing is not
in any remote degree associated with
any sympathy with Mr.. Havemeyer.
1t arises solely from the ostensible
opportunity for scandal, a chance to
heap obloquy upon men who have
regulations in high standing-in
Congress. the courts, and business
circles. These disreputable cormo-
rants corresponding for the sensation
al press are eternally nosing around
for an offensive smell, and are never
so happy as when they can bring a
piece Of scandal to smirch the reputa-
tions of eminent men. In showing
up case against men in authority
they will endeavor to make noun
tain OF mole-hill, elaborate upon
trifie, exaggerate the facts, and manu-
facture lie. They would like to
make it appear that the Sugar Trust
controlled Congress and corrupted the
courts of law. bought political parties
and stole the ''llvery of the court of
heaven" The simple facts in the
case give no occasion for fear that the
conscience OF the nation is being cor
rupted.
Mr.. Hayemeyer was asked in the
Senate investigation Of the methods
OF the Sugar Trust to state the sums
contributed by the Trust to the polit-
ical campaign in 1892. He declined
to answer the question, because he
could not, and the question was an
Irrelevant one. The court says he
was right. That is all there is to it.

6iadstone's Protest.

The protest of William +. Glad
stone against the recognition of the
proxy of the Sultan of Turkey in
the diamond jubilee in honor of
Queen Victoria, even though UNI
awaiting, was credit to the great ex-
Premier. 1t seems, however, that
the protest was disregarded by Lord
Salisbury whose practical adherence
to the unholy cause of the barbarous
Turk is somewhat marvellous.
While Gladstone's protest should
meet a responsive echo in every
Christian land, had he occupied the
position held by Lord Salisbury at
the time he made the protest, ii
might never have been uttered. A
great statesman and diplomat upon
the retired list will sometimes give
utterance to sentiments which as the
head of a ministerial cabinet he
would through policy" feel con-
strained to repress. While this
observation need not necessarily be
construed as a reflection upon Mr..
Gladstone, it is a charitable view of
the case so far as Mr.. Salisbury is
concerned, as the Turks were Sin
it" at the great jubilee.
The people of Superior are boiling
over with patriotic fervor and are
perfecting arrangements for observ-
ing Independence Day upon very
elaborate scale. A grand barbecue
in which oxen, sheep and porkers
will be roasted whole, will be an
interesting feature of the occasion
from which we infer that the
stomach as well as the patriotic
impulses of visitors are to be provid
ed for. a great variety OF sports
including bicycle races, for which
| liberal purses have been furnished
will form part of the entertainment
and arrangements have been made
for taking care of a large number Q
strangers expected to avail them
selves of this opportunity to visit th'
head of Lake Superior upon reduced
rates of railroad fare. The celebra-
ton takes place on Monday, July 9th
With all due Difference to tn,
enterprise and wisdom of the people
of Milwaukee, who imagined tina
the Cream City's great staple-lagel
beer-was a necessary adjunct, TO
the success of the State Fairs, it hai
been given out that the State Agri
cultural Society has gone into thu
hands Of a receiver, and that as
consequence the Society will be un
able to give an exhibition the pres
emit year at Milwaukee, notwith
standing the fact that the sale 0
beer upon the fair grounds was per
mitted last year, in obedience to th
demands of the brewing interests o
Wisconson's metropolis, who insiste'
that beer was the only prescription
that would save their agriculture
friends from going to the de-dog:
and carrying their pumpkin sho'
with them. The sequel hes showl
that even Milwaukee's fayorit
beverage wouldn't save them.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weather conditions during the
week have been very favorable for
growth, and the backward condition
of crops generally has been largely
overcome.
The mean temperature for the week
was slightly lower than that OF the
week previous, but not sufficiently
low to cause any decided check TO the
rapid growth of vegetation.
The highest daily temperature
ranged generally from 75o to 900 but
the nights were moderately cool. In
few exposed places in the northern
counties light frosts occurred on the
morning of the 10Th but the damage
was very slight.
The rainfall during the week was
generally liberal, and in some localities
heavy. especiallyin some of the CEN
trial and southern counties. Local
storms Of more or less severity oc-
CURED generally throughout the State
on Wednesday, furnishing sufficient
moisture for present needs. Corn has
made marked advancement during
the week, which, added to the excel
lent growth OF the week previous,
makes the outlook very encouraging,
considering the adverse condition of
Of the crop two weeks ago. 1t is still
in need of warm weather and sun
shine. The stand is somewhat un-
even, on account of the second plant
ing, and in some localities cultivation
has been retarded by wet weather.
Oats are heading in the central and
southern counties, and while the crop
is considered very good, the straw is
reported as unusually short. Winter
rye and wheat are ripening, but the
crop is very poor. Spring wheat and
rye are making good progress and
promise well. Clover cutting has
begun in the southern counties. The
crop is generally light, as are all hay
crops. Barley is doing fairly well.
There is some complaint Of fruit
failing, but the outlook for fair crop
is good
