The Promise of a Fruitful Season
Has Never Been Better

Huron, April 26.-W. Glenn, director
Of the government weather bureau
here, In the first crop bulletin for this
season, says During the week end
ng April II the temperature was about
aormal, with light rains and considera-
bic cloudy weather. Low lands contin-
ued either submerged ~ too wet to
work, but higher ground had been dry

and blowing in the central southern
and southeastern counties. The first

higher ground seeding Of wheat, oats
and barley is quite general. Some ear
ly gardening has been done, also in the
southern counties. The soil generally
is 50 moist that with seasonable tenn
perature seed will terminate n grow

thoroughly saturated with moisture
since the spring of 1881 and In this par

son has never been more f1attering.
The buds of trees are beginning to swell

A Failure,

The first Peoples party Legislature
of Kansas has adjourned after a ses-
sion that has been a great disappoint-
ment to those radical and rabid re-
formers who have thought the over
throw of the Republicans would be a
good thing for the State. But the So
called Populist victory Of last fall was
based mainly on fusion of diverse ele-
ments, and when the Legislature got
together il was found that while the
Republicans were in a minority, yet
there was such sharp division OF senti-
ment among the so-called Populists
that 1t was impossible to carry out the
promises made during the campaign,
and the legislators have gone home to

Law as to the Meeting of the Com
mIssioners Is Obscure,

Pierre. April 26.-Since the governor
has appointed the state brand commits
sioners, there will probably be a large
number Of brands filed in the secre-
.ary's office. The law in regard TO the
time when the commission shall meet
to pass upon brands is rather obscure.
1t first provides for two meetings each
year, but sets no time for meeting be-
fore January, 1898, when the secretary
5 authorized to call them together. I'm
Gil the time OF the first meeting OF the
commission the brands which are sent
n will be simply filed in the secretary's
)ilice, but not registered until they
have been passed upon by the commits
sion at its first meeting. Quite a num-
Der of brands have been filed, most OF
hem so far having been sent from Pen
1ington county, and a few have come in
rom Stanley county. The stockmen
Viii undoubtedly take full advantage of
he law as soon as ii is in full opera
ion, and some of the best posted among
hem estimate that at least 1000 differ
ent brands will be filed and registered.

MAYHEW'S RULING QUESTIONED
Supreme Court viii Pass Upon His
Decision,

Pierre, April 26.-At the beginning of
Auditor Mayhew's term he issued an or
Ter that no expense vouchers would be
audited unless the same We're accompa-
nied by receipts for all moneys expend-
ed. This has caused a great deal Of
dissatisfaction, as the state officers hold
that an itemized account of expendi-
lures, supported by affidavits is all
that is required.
The first open objection to this ruling
comes from the railroad commission
ers, who appeared before the supreme
court yesterday morning by their attor-
neys asking for an order to show cause
why their expense vouchers should not
be audited without being accompanied
by receipts. The order has been grant
ed, and is made returnable Thursday
the 29th.

lion, of Mitchell, has filed articles with

THE DINGLEY TARIFF.

Com mendation from Republicans and
Response To Democratic Criticism.
The Democratic contemporaries that
refer to the as a poorly di.
gested piece of legislation DO not point
out that the Ways and Means Commit.

fully three months before the bill was
reported. They forget, also, to state
that during it's consideration by that
committee everybody sufficiently inter
ested to seek a hearing on the subject

and that the long period from the time
the committee began Its work until II
reported was one Of practically contin.

In Germany, a leading Berlin Journal
says:
"If this bill becomes a law Europe,
especially Germany, must feel It to be
an intentional blow In the face. A large
part Of our exports are thereby prohib.
tied and another part are rendered ex.
tremely difficult. Many Of our indus.
tries will be forced to reorganize com
pletely their system Of production,
raise the quality Of their goods and
specialize. This will require a period
Of experiments and delays. In the
meanwhile much of the commerce and
industry will be lost.
This Is pitiful, indeed. from a German
standpoint, although 1t does not much

Protection to Shipping.

Gradually we excluded foreign ships
from our coastwise trade by prohibit
tive tonnage dues and finally in 1917
we absolutely prohibited, by law, for
eign vessels from engaging in any
trade between American ports. The
consequence of this more than century
old prohibitive protection of our domes-
tic shipping is that we have the largest
domestic water-borne commerce In the
whole world, our freight charges for
inland water-borne transportation are
lower than anywhere else in the world,
and the magnitude Of u shipping is
only eQualed by its utility, its safety
and Its beauty. Why not do as well by
our foreign shipping?

Bradstreet's Review.
W York. April 26.-Bradstreet's

New York. April 26.-Bradstreet's
says:
The change in conditions underlying
general trade, while slight this week,
has been In the direction of improve
ment. The depression in iron and steel
continues, and Bessemer pig and steel
billets have reacted another 25 cents a
ton.
The outlook favors ar increase in la
Dor disturbances to resist midsummer
wage reductions. The bituminous coal
mining industry Is worse off han the
anthracite, with rumors Of strikes
which promise to have an unfavorable
influence in other than the iron and
steel industries. Trade In wool Is quiet
err. There Is less life in the wholesale
dry goods trade, and little relief has
been experienced, Notwithstanding the
large auction sale Of cotton goods last
week, buyers continuing TO supply i'm
mediate needs only.
The tendency toward more settled
weather has stimulated retail demand,
more particularly at the northwest,
notably for dry goods. hardware and
millinery. The general tendency of tho
Mississippi floods to subside has cre-
ated a better feeling, but not even the
recent agricultural department ISL
records all the damage done. Country
roadways have begun to improve, which
benefits interior merchants.
The only large cities reporting an In.
crease in the movement Of merchandise
are st. Paul, Minneapolis, milwaukee,
and Kansas City. At almost all other
large centers there has been no ma.
terial gain In Industrial or commercial
lines. New Orleans reports that tho
sugar lands have escaped overflow thus
far.
Exports Of wheat flour included as

States and from st. Johns, N. b. this

against 1928. 900 bushels In the third

corn amount to 4,769. 315 bushels this
week, against 1888, 900 last week. less
than 1000. 900 bushels in the same week

Such Ia, however, the fact. The value
Of the imports and exports Of the Uni
