During the two cabinet sessions Of the
past week, Cuban matters were dis
cussed at much length. President Nc
Kinley is much alive to the situation
and is determined to do that which is
for the best for the people Of this coun-
try as we'll as Cuba. Mr.. Hanna, and a
few others, Mr.. Hale, of Maine, and
little Wellington, Of Maryland, stand
out strong for Spain; but it is not be-
lieved that their influence will swerve
the president from just, manly, course.
The country must not judge the action
of the president from the same stand
point that one would Judge an orator on
the stump. There are many things ex-
listing, some of which cannot be known
to the nation at large, whereby nations
are forced to be conservative. 1t is a
very serious matter to involve this coun-
try in war with Spain or any other ma
ton. The president is the head of this
nation and is obliged to take a wise and
conservative course and not permit
himself to be swerved from those lines
under any circumstances whatever.

Condition of Trade.

People are actually doing more bust
ness than they realize. They reckon
by values, but these are much lower
than in any previous year of prosperity
and leave little margin for profits In
quantity, there is almost as much bust
ness being done as in the years of great
est prosperity, and though the increase
in population would call for q material
expansion, the comparison is not dis
couraging. The reco very is slow, hest
tating and gradual, but more has been
done on the whole in May than in
April, while returns in April showed
the volume of business only 10 per cent.
smaller than that of the best year here
tofore. Yet hesitation is doing its work
every week, and multitudes are waiting,
because of possibilities at Washington
who ought to be swelling the demand
for labor and the products of labor
Exports of $2,300,000 gold cause no
alarm, as they are obviously the results
of the premium paid by Russia, and it
is we'll understood that goods imported
in May, thus far 81 per cent. larger than
last year, are supplying wants for months
to come, while exports of products, in
May thus far p per cent. larger than
last year, will much incl ease within two
months. The Treasury is doing we'll
and the money market has gained ST.
100000 from the interior during the
week, and has no apprehension. The
encouraging increase in the demand for
commercial loans still continues in vol
ume as large and in quality of paper
offered even better than last week.

National Appeal.

1t is estimated that the government
is losing three million dollars week in
revenue by the delay in the passage of
the tariff bill. The people are losing
ten times as much in work on account
of the delay. We earnestly ask every
one Of Our readers to Immediately write
a postal card to, at least, one member
of the United States senate at Washing
ton, urging and demanding an imme-
date passage Of protective tariff law
and such law as will give adequate
protection to American labor and Amer
lean industries. Address your postal
card to Hon. John G. Spooner U. S. S.,
Washington, D. G.

Weather Conditions.

Growing crops have made but little
progress during the past week on ac-
count of the continued low temperature
which has rendered rapid growth i'm
possible. The season thus far has been
very backward, but it is probably for
tunate circumstance, as freezing wealth
er occurred in nearly all parts Of the
state on the 25th and Goth. In many
places ice formed and grave fears were
entertained for fruit and other crops,
and had there been much new growth
exposed the damage would have been
decidedly greater. A special report on
the effect of the frost has been obtained
from correspondents, and the general
tone of these reports indicates that the
damage has been very much less than
could have reasonably been expected.
Only six correspondents represent the
damage as serious. Grapes appear to
have suffered most and the crop will be
somewhat reduced on this account.
Gardens were killed in many places
and apples and plums injured in a few
exposed localities. Oats and barley on
low ground show the effect of the frost.
Corn was generally not sufficiently ad
vanced to be injured.
The rainfall has been light and the
soil is becoming dry, but the greatest
need at present is warm weather.
Oats are in healthy condition, but
barley does not appear to be doing SO
well. Much ploughing for these crops
was done with the soil too wet, espec-
tally on heavy clay land, and where this
was the case the crops show the effect
of poor cultivation in a marked degree.
Spring whe at and rye are doing fairly
we'll. Winter rye is heading out in the
southern portion of the state and prom
Uses fair yield. Corn planting is prac-
tically completed and much Of the early
paintings is already up. Its progress
however has been slow and there is
more than the usual complaint of the
seed rotting in the ground. The week
closed with very cold weather and frost
again on Monday morning.

Is no reason why the cattle on the range

winter. They start in in the best possible
shape Feed on the range was never in bet
ter condition. and the late rains left enough
water in the streams and sloushs to furnish
water until the SHOWS come. The winter is
at least month later than last year, with
all indications of continuance OF the open
weather for some time yet. The deaths on
the ranges this season have been the lightest
ever known With plenty OF choice feed and
water the stock is getting in better shape to
stand winter storms every day, and there
Is no reason why they should not come out in
good shape In the spring.
