BoltwoodSCapt. Adna G. Clarke, Capt.

Thomas Lowry Of Minneapolis is
in New York and in an interview in
the Tribune tells the old story Of pros
perity that has reached the east from
all sections Of the west. The inter-
view says; Business affairs never
looked better in Minnesota than to-
day. The spring wheat crop of the
three great wheat states, Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, will amount
to about two hundred million bushels.
One OF the best expert judges returned
to Minneapolis just before left there
and reported that after thorough
personal Investigate he estimated
the crop at 1877 zoo, 900 bushels. At
first it was feared the high winds
which have been prevailing recently
in the wheat producing areas would
greatly damage the crop, but they
are over now and the damage is not
nearly so great as anticipated. To
move this crop, | do not believe we
will have to borrow a dollar outside
capital, there is SO much money in
the three states at present =

But as neither of US had much
choice either in locality of birth or

It IS a question now pressing it

Of the acutest minds in all parties
as to the most effective method Of
destroying. controlling and pre-
venting pernicious trusts. Not
every aggregation of capital for
business purposes. is pernicious,
nor can all combination for BUSH
ness purposes be classed as trusts;
but when such aggregation and
combination assumes to controlpro-
duction below the normal for the
purpose of raising prices above
profit, then it becomes
an enemy to the body polite and
falls within the designation of
being contrarys to public policy.
Admitting this as aself evident fact
the question still perplexes the
Wisest as to framing legislation
that shall accomplish its purpose
l3of prevention and cure without in
bringing upon personal and prop
Ierty rights. To attempt to make a
political issue of such legislation is
absurd.
To inveigh against trusts in
party platforms IS the merest dem
iagogie clap trap. What the suffer
ling people want is relief in fact
anot mere platitudinous lot of
phrases.
There was in this city recently
a gentleman selling a line of goods
which were labeled Not Trust

practically up to the people for

week or two before the editorial

we think Mr. Hendryx is entitled
TO a very good piaee,and we would

secure one for him regardless Of

He ought really to have had the
place which Alvah holds,and Alvah
ought to have had better one.

We can understand how a learned
man like Mr.. Hendryx who has
trotted long and fast with Cicero
on the Appian Way should prefer
a cultured aristocrat like Mr.. Morris
to a plain and rude pIebeiar like
yourself, especially as both their
families come from the nobility OF
Virginia. But we still insist that
aside from all this, Mr.. Hendryx
being. a candidate for a good place
at the hands of MI. Morris, cannot
be deemed a wholly disinterested
person, and Mr.. Eastman does him
self an injustice, when he tries to
make II. So appear. We have no
fault to find with the appointees or
would-be appointees of Mr.: Morris,
but we insist that they are not dis
interested and that their opinions
will be considerably discounted in

genuine and fealthful mirth than
those of any other in the north

however, little out of his line,

whensoutside the lines Of his pc

NEEDS MORE MEN.
Not Enough to Pro-
perly Patrol the
City.
UNSAFE SECTIONS.
Chief brennan Thinks He
Can Use More Policemen
to a Good Advantage.

Charles f. Peck, superintendent OF
public buildings, and James M. Dren-
nan, chief of police, visited station 2
yesterday and together they looked
over the building, and Supt. Peck took
note of several radical changes in the
interior of the building, recommended
by the chief
The interior of the station, as 1t
stands, is not adapted to the wants of
the officers, as we'll as it should be, and
it is intended to have the ground floor
of the interior changed entirely so that
the guard room will be about twice as
large as it is at present. The tramp
room will be torn out and some new
closets erected for the use of the Off
GERS.
1t is probable that inside of a month
big changes will be made in the make
up of the force at station 2, and several
of the beats which are now travelled by
two men will be split up. At present
there are but two beats on Millbury
street, running from Vernon square to
Quinsigamond, and each is Travelled by
two men.
In other sections of station 2 terri
tory there are no men at all, while in
one section, where a number of shops
are situated the amount of territory
allotted to one man is so large that it
is next to impossible for man to give
anywhere near attention to the shop
district as it needs. If a fire should
originate in that district on a windy
night and get a good start before dis
covered, the damage would probably
be large, as the section includes most
ly tenement houses built of wood and
would easily get afire. 1t is contended
by the police officials that more men
should be used to cover that territory
but as the city has failed to appoint
patrolmen in sufficient numbers to
correspond to its growth, it is impos-
sible.
At station / the trouble is the same,
and some sections of the city are left
without police protection at certain
hours of the night.
- officer Bertram G. Dustin has been
taken from the night force at station
and will hereafter do mounted duty
during the day. 1t is expected also
that another patrolman will do mount
ed duty during the day in station
| territory.
AS soon as Capt. Matthews gets mat
| ters Strengthened out at station 2, a
| general shakeup will be in order, and
| it is expected that not a few of the
| policemen who have looked on station
| / as a home will find themselves sent
| to station for duty, while the station
men will have to report for duty at
| the central station.
The chief thinks he needs more men,
and the police officials who have a
good chance to see the city as it is pa
troled agree with him.
Monday night was the first evening
in years that tramps have been re-
fused lodging at station 2, and about
10 were turned away. Tuesday evening
but seven reported asking for a lodg-
ing. Thursday night not one knight of
the road turned up, and this satisfies
the police at that station that the
wandering Willies" have some kind
of wireless telegraphy which they use
to advantage, tipping each other off on
the situation.
