DRIFT OF OPINION.

UBolivia possesses the richest silver
mines in the world, yet she is about to
adopt the gold standard. She has had
actual experience with silver, and facts
knock out theories every time.-Toledo
Blade.
GJDemocratic and populistic states
men and newspapers are predicting
ruin to business" if any Dingley tariff
becomes a law and fills the treasury to
overlooking. But the people don't seem
to be alarmed over such calamity.
They have tried the democratic plan of
closed workshops and depleted treas
ury and will welcome n change.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.
GThe so-called currency reformers
are impatient of delay and falsely ac-
cuse the administration and the repub-
Leans in congress with being Indifferent
to the currency question, alleging this to
he the chief reason for the hardness of
industrial and business recovery. Sec
rotary Gage refutes the accusation and
his assurance will be received by the
country with satisfaction and conf
dence.-Omaha Bee.
ETThosc who have been insisting that
the United States needs more money"
are puzzled to know how to explain the
fact that the great Lake Shore railway
recently refunded more than 100000
600 of bonds at 3H per cent. interest,
and found plenty of money to take them
at that price. If the country really
needed more money for general business
purposes that which it has would not
be looking for investment at 3H per
cent. per annum.-Toledo Blade.
DSecretary Gage in his Cincinnati
speech very strongly asserted that the
administration, 'in good time and In
proper ORDER" will address itself to the
subject of currency and banking re-
FORM" That statement is satisfactory
to all sensible American citizens who
know that the republican party prom
iscs and performs what il promises.
The democratic organs continue to howl
about the administrator broken
pledges"--as base falsehood as was
ever suggested by the devil; but the
public generally have taken the true
measure of these democratic reform"
organs.--Minneapolis Journal.

Reports ns tn Its Condition I'm This
state Conflict.

Detroit, June 5.-Reports from diff
ferent points in the state telling of
poor prospects for fruit carry more
weight this year than usual, because
of the unreasonable spring The only
fruit section of the state that has not
reported almost total failure is the
Grand Traverse region. Western Michi-
gan growers are extremely blue over
the outlook and prominent men in that
industry say they do not look for over
20 FER cent. of an average crop. Curls
are dropping off at an alarming rate
and the continued cold weather is do
ing more harm than could any frost
in the way of blasting buds. Port Aus
tin and Alpena, on the Huron shore,
report fruit in n bad way, and unless
there is a let-up in the temperature
the crop will be n failure. Western
Michigan railroad men do not take such
a pessimistic view of the situation, but
reports received by them indicate that
If summer warmth does not come quick
ly the output of all kinds of fruits will
be greatly curtailed.
Lansing, June 5.-Peach growers are
very much alarmed lest the continued
cold weather will have disastrous eff
feet upon the fruit by dwarfing the
growth of the trees and causing the
young fruit to fall off, although it is
too early to determine the extent of
the damage from this cause. The old
trees and many of the young ones suf-
fered from the open winter and will
bear very little fruit.
Grand Rapids. June 5.-The reports
on the peach crop are somewhat con-
flicting, but the most cheerful estimate
places the crop ut not to exceed one
half. Curl leaf is what is the matter
with the peaches, the result of the con-
tinued cold weather and lack of sun
shine, and the curled leaves are falling
so fast as to threaten to strip the trees.
The frost does not seem to have killed
the peaches, the damage being almost
wholly from curl leaf.
Holland, June 5.-At the Ottawa
County Fruit Growers association
meeting here reports were presented
giving crop prospects through the state.
On account of continued cold and wet
weather the expectation now is for only
half Il crop of apples, peaches and pears.
Small fruits and garden vegetables are
delayed at least two weeks.
