WEATHER AND CROPS.
Conditions That Figure Largely in

NEW YORK, June i6-Brad street's to-

of actual Distribution, but in their effect

cultural products, o majority of which

is wheat. which-has advanced on gov.

Real estate is usually the last to feel

Improvement in business conditions of the
last two years has not affected land val

exist. however. that must soon lead to in
creased activity and higher prices for real

financial columns of the Record yester-
day.
There Is a plethora of money seeking
investment. Stock speculation apparent
ly has almost reached the limit. Tho
demand for gilt-edged securities of all
kinds is so great as too keep the prices
very high. The average return on money
invested in good bonds at present prices
Is estimated to be from 295 to 3.5 per
cent. This Is considerably less than the
average return from real estate invest
ments. AS an inevitable consequence,
according to the laws that govern the
business world, seekers for the most at
tractive investments must turn to the
real estate field. The increased demand
for land must mean an early advance In

thing that clouds the future. They rise

POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS.

1t would doubtless be in some measure
a convenience to the business commune

farming communities could be given the
benefit of daily delivery of mail But
it is easy to overestimate the desirability
of such movement from the point of
view of those served
To the ordinary farmer who does not
maintain any form of correspondence
except that of purely social and per-
sonal kind, and who sends or receives a
letter only at brief intervals, the Pc

postoffice meets all the requirements of
his case, and is an event which he does
not care. particularly to have dispensed

There are number of improvements
that may be successfully made on our
postal system. Many, too, are being
made daily. With a younger generation
the need of a daily delivery of mail will
in time be much more desirable than it
is now. The postoffices of the country
are now pretty generally distributed. 1t
is rarely an Inconvenience, except. in the
busy seasons, for some one or othar
member of farmers family to visit the
postoff1ce, usually two or three miles
away, while doing other desirable err
rands at the same time. If such sys-

lively little cost, and there is anything
like general demand for 1t, it should
prevail. as being along the lines of the
improvement and perfection of the postal
system of the country
But there are many other advances
which might be made in this direction
for which there is a much stronger pop
ular demand. In the days when Mr..
Wanamaker was at the head of the de-
partment and daily announcements were
made of the great reforms that were in
contemplation. none, or few at least, of
which We're ever put in execution, there
was a belief prevalent that either or
both OF the two great requirements of a
telegraph postal service or a postal bank
system would be established. But moth
ing came of either demand, and presum-
ably nothing ever will come of such de-
mands under the present administration.
AS long as demands of this character
are so completely ignored by the party
in power there is little hope that such
improvements as that of free delivery
in sparsely settled districts will arouse
anything like a general interest.

HENNEPIN. AND RAMSEY REFORM


There are Republican reformers in
Hennepin county, as well as in Ramsey.
They are not perhaps just as devoted to
the cause of reform as are own beauti-
ful aggregation. Nor is 1T understood
that their pull is as strong In certain d.
rections. For instance they are not at all
the artists in the legislative way that
ours are. They may know just the cur
rent value in coin of the realm of a given
local political job and carry on their ne
gotiations as to the price at which If
shall be disposed of, Just as our own
crowd do from time to time, with lust

''peaching' on the others, but thew hava
not the business down at all to ANYTHING
like the fine art which prevails among
our gang.
Take the latest illustration Of how lit
tie relatively the Republican brethren of
minneapolis know. They go into the leg
islature and have a primary law passed.
and when they pass it they go to work
and get the court if possible to throw
it down. Our crowd of reformers work
differently. When they get a law passed
they know just what they are after.
They want the law. There is some
thing in it. and they want that, too.
There is never fear that they will apply
to the supreme court to hold the law
illegal Nothing of this kind ever hap
pens unless 1t hurts some particular re-
former who is willing to risk his coin
in the effort to hold on to his job. Our
gang have been fixing up laws for many
years past. all on the grating principle,
