CROPS IN NEBRASKA.

1nere Is a broad smile on the face Of
nearly every farmer in Nebraska, be-
cause OF the satisfactory crop condi-
tions in that remarkable state. In tho
northwest drouth has seriously injured
the wheat yield. In the south again
there has been more or less damage,
but in Nebraska they have had sea-
s9pable, heavy rains, and not too much
ofthem.
A full crop Of oats and wheat will,
from present indications, be followed
Ny bumper crop Of corn. During the
est week heavy rains all over the
late have put this crop in fine condi-
ton. and 1t may break the record.
The expectation is that great num-
bers OF people will go to Nebraska
this fall. when the cheap harvest ex-
cursion rates are in effect. to investi-
gate the country and confirm by actual
experience the stories of prosperity SO
often heard. The tendency is on thu
part of renters, everywhere in the east
to seek homes beyond the Missouri
river, where land is cheap ad so very
productive.

DISCl SSING THE PRICE.
Navy Department Officials Satisfied
With the Holland

If pending negotiations are successful the
submarine torpedo boat Holland will soon
be added TO the United States navy. The
recent tests of that strange craft have sat
lShed the naval officials of her desirab ilitv
as an engine of destruction, and the oniy
thing that remains to be settled for her
transfer to the navy is an agreement be-
tween her owners and the Secretary of the
Navy on the question of price. Offers and
counter offers have been made but with
out result so far. But there is reason to
believe that an agreement win be reached
within few days. 1t is understood that
the Navy Department is willing to pay
about $lij.NO for the vessel. If the nego-
uationS are successful Congress will be
asked to appropriate the necessary amount.
In case of her requirement the Holland will
be utilized as an inner line of defense, OPP
Grating in a harbor, in connection with tor
pedoes and mines. against an invading fleet
The purchase of the Holland would indi-
cate that the department favors such craft
and would probably add to their number
for harbOr defense. The negotiations for
the Holland are understood to be coupled
with an understanding that the company
will expedite the construction of the Plung-
er, which was recently transferred from
Baltimore to the Frigg shipyard at Rich
mond. which vessel was built on the same
general lines as the Holland.

Since twelve years ago. when on April
s. 1SsS. DIR. Crafts made his first address
TO committee Of Congress, the writer has
known and valued his work In behalf Of
moral reforms. and particularly during the
five years since ne organized the reform
bureau at the nations capital.
For the year ending with this month I
have examined the correspondence files of
the bureau. and note the following specific
achievements of the year:
/. The bureaus legislative work has in
clUded an influential part in the exclusion
of Brigham Roberts, the polygamst In Con-
gress. DR.. Crafts from the first advocated
the method finally adopted, namely, rejec-
ton rather than expulsion. The bureau
also had part in the hearing before the
House judiciary committee on the anti
polygamy amendment, and is following up
the Roberts victory with a hopeful cam
paign for divorce reform, first in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the territories in
which the cooperation of the justices Of
the District Supreme Court and the APP
proVal of the attorney for the District and
Of numerous bishops has been secured The
bureau is also seeking to improve the d.
Vorce laws in the pending Alaska code.
Hearings before committees of Congress
have been granted 10 the bureau on can
teens and saloons in our new islands
9. The bureaus correspondence depart
ment has also been effective. Churches
and societies, especially the w. c. T. U.
and the Young Peoples Societies have been
in constant and cordial cooperation. Let
tiers show that the bureau has been instru-
mental repeatedly in inaugurating the cur
few by correspondence. A dozen letters from
presidents of great railroad systems that
have been cleaned OF certain foul period
fcals at the suggestion of the bureaus SUI
perintendent are especially worthy of no.
tee.
g. AS for the literature department the
bureau has been abundantly represented in
the press-in the religious press by numer-
Gus syndicate articles and special contribu-
tons. In the daily press by numerous and
extended reports of lectures and In both
by numerous Communications of the blI-
reau's work. with fewer criticisms than
gress!Ve reforms. The bureaus own peri
odicals and leaflets have been improved
both in quantity and quality, though a
much larger issue could have been used to
advantage.
4. The superintendent's lecture tours, the
letters show. have been not only appre-
ciated but fruitful in specific local reforms
such as cleaning local news rooms bill
boards, mutascopes and driving out gam
bling slot machines. In Pittsburg the work
has been particularly effective. local
auxiliary, composed Of young men from
young peoples societies officially appointed
has been organized. and local branch
office has been opened. The co-operatIon
OF the press and of the police, as well az
OF the preachers, has been secured 1t was
the result of an appeal to the mayor start
ed by the bureau. that Mrs. Langtry's en-
gagement TO play Thu Degenerates'' was
Cancelled In Pittsburg. One lecture tour
