CROP CONDITIONS.
The Report of the Weather Bureau fo,
the Week Ending Moudav.

The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.
There were showers in different
parts OF the State, and on almost everv
day OF the week. The weekly amounts
we're greatest in Clay, Becker, Hub
bard and Douglas counties, and in
parts OF the southwest, and least in the
Red River valley north of Clay county,.
in the extreme southeast and in parts
OF the middle west. The middle and
latter parts of the week we're very
warm, the thermometer being above
9Oo IN all the southern half of the
State on the 18th and 10Th. The cut
ting of all the small grains, except
hax. is practically finished in the State,
though there are some areas of wheat
that have been abandoned because the
ground was too wet for the operation
OF binders till the grain was too ripe,
Shock threshing is begun in Kittson
county, and it is fairly we'll advanced
further south, though the week has
not been a favorable one for either
threshing or stacking. Considerable
grain that has been threshed since the
heavy rains of the previous week is
damp, and where shocks were wet
they have been opened to dry before
the grain was put in stack. 1t is said
that the shocks are drying out nicely,
and that with dry weather threshing
will go on rapidly. The wheat that
was threshed before the rains is excel
lent IN quality, and in nearly all parts
OF the State the yields are very much
better than was thought possible some:
weeks ago: Considerable flax has been
cut, and that still standing is in all
stages from the blossom to maturity,
Corn is growing rapidly, and in most
nelds there are ripe stocks, but owing
TO the irregular termination of the,
seed, the fields are very uneven. Con-
siderable wild hay has been cut re!
Gently, but a good deal has been
spoiled by rain. Minnetonka grapes

A Prosperous Section of Mile Laos County
Good Roads and Prosperity Go Hand
In Hand.
For the first time in ten years the
writer made trip through the French
settlement in Greenbush to the Benton
county line, on Monday. 10 say that
we were surprised at the remarkable
development of that section of Mile
Laos county is putting it mild. The
road is lined with comfortable and in
many instances pretentious farm
houses and spacious and neat appear
ing barns and granaries. Little patches
OF clearings dotted with stumps have
given place to large, well-kept fields.
bearing luxuriant crops of wheat, oats.
corn, timothy and potatoes. In pas
lures can be seen herds Of sleek-look-
ing cattle and many hocks of high
grade sheep. On every hand there is
evidence of thriftiness and prosperity.
But the most noticeable and agreeable
change is in the condition of the high.
ways. A few years ago the roads lead
ing west from Princeton were in a
deplorable condition; the first four
miles from the center of the village
the sand in the main travelled thor
oughfare was almost knee-deep and be-
yond that the road was rough and un-
even-a succession of corduroys, ruts
and stumps Now there is a good
smooth hard road from one mile west
of the village through to the Benton
county line and beyond. There is not
twenty rods of what could be- termed
poor travelling in the entire distance
The poor road lies within the VILLAGE
limits and immedia tely west of the
same. This road is one of the main
business arteries of Princeton. A
lady residing west of town informed
the writer that one day last fall she
counted 25O teams going into town
over that road, and quite number
probably escaped her attention. The
business mon of Princeton should feel
ashamed of themselves every day the
continuation of the Greenbush road
into Princeton is left in its present
condition.
Imagine the feelings of farmer
who starts from eastern Benton county
with a load of wheat or potatoes and
traverses good roads for distance of
ten or fifteen miles, until he gets
within sight of the village of Prince
ton, and then strikes a Sahara of sand
and finally reaches the warehouse or
elevator with his team completely ex-
hausted. Princeton could draw large
amount Of trade that is naturally tribu-
Iary to St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids and
Becker, if a few hundred dollars were
udiciously expended on the roads lead
ng west from town.
Glendorado is fast forging to the
ront as the banner farming g town of
3enton county. Under the able man
lgement of Louis Madison the Glendo-
ado creamery still maintains the
eputation of being the ideal creamery
II this section of the State. The in
erior of the creamery is model of
eatness and cleanliness. No offensive
dors greet the. nostrils either within

1 the Glendorado creamery is first

owing to an oversight on the part of
the editor, what purported to be call
for a Democratic judicial convention
appeared in last weeks issue of the
UNION. The purported call is signed
by self-constituted committee who do
not represent even a respectable mi
norlty OF the Democrats of the Seventh
judicial district. A handful of pin
headed politicians of both the Repub-
llcan and Democratic parties are trv-
ing their best to create disturbance
IN this judicial district, but thew will
not succeed. Judges Baxter and Searle
nave the respect and confidence Of the
people of the district. In 1886 the
level-headed, intelligent people of the
dlstrlct decreed that there should be a.
divorce between the judiciary and
partisan politics, and several times
since the voters have reaffirmed that
decree until it has been recongnized
that the divorce is permanent. The
aslnlne efforts of the little gang of
political marplots who are endeavor-
ing to stir up opposition to Hon. D. B:
Searle will come to naught. He will
be reelected judge by a practically
unanimous vote next November. And

who are opposing Judge searle are
also opposed to Judge Baxter.

IN speech, delivered four years
ago, Mr.. Bryan says: IF you throw a
stone in the air, you know it will come
down. Why? Because it is drawn
towards the center Of the earth. The
law upon which we base our fight is as
sure as the law Of gravitation. If we
have gold standard, prices are as
certain to fall as a stone thrown in the
air." Any man who would make such
prediction as that and witness its
total non-fulfllment within the short
space of four years must be admitted a
false prophet and q poor Judge of po-
lltlcal conditions. Instead of going
down like stone that is thrown in the
air, prices have gone up like the
balloon that is inflated. Everything
that Bryan predicted in 1896 has been
fulfilled" in exactly the same wav as
his predictions as to prices. Wages.
which he also predicted would 90 down
with the adoption of the gold standard,
have gone up correspondingly with
prices; and wheat, which he declared
TO be the twin of silver, has been
permanently divorced from it's mate.
going up while silver was going down.
The country will have little use for a
nan whose judgment has been shown

n PHILADELPHIA Democratic paper
asks: "Why should Republicans seek
ito galvanize tho dead silver issue when
its own advocates have abandoned it?'
Republicans are not seeking to GAL
vanize the silve r issue; the Democrats
did that when they devoted two days
to the discussion of it in their national
convention, and finally adopted a
specific declaration for free coinage at
16-to-l. Republicans have all along
declared that it was dead issue and
they believe to-day that it is a dead
issue and will be deader than ever
after November; they cannot ignore
the fact, however, that it is danger

of those kind Of corpses which, like
Rudyard kipling's Fuzzy Wuzzy, is

1t is dangerous issue as long as any
national party has the temerity to ad-
vocate its adoption, and the danger of
1t is only removed when the man who
continues to advocate it is removed as
a presidential possibility. The final
removal will be made next fall. and
one of the reasons why it will be made
is, that a national candidate who con-
tinues to advocate such an issue will
be regarded as an unsafe man.
