TIMELY Rain
SAVED CROPS
There Are Now Fine Pros.
poets Of Plenty Of Fruit
and Vegetables

For the week just ended the Climate
and Crop Service has issued the fol-
lowing reports:
The hot dry weather early in the
week added to the injurious effects al
ready sustained, and crops were, with
out exception, in bad condition until
relieved by the abundant moisture of
Friday night and Saturday. Since then
all growth has greatly revived, but It
is feared that timothy and clover yields
will be lightened because ofthe drought,
and that cereals will show a shortage
Of straw at harvest time for the same
reason. Flowing was delayed during
tie dry weather, and could not be re-
sumed at once after the rains owing to
the thoroughly soaked condition Of
the soil. The great benefits derived
more than compensate for such minor
drawbacks, however. Seed that has lain
dormant for several weeks is now
sprouting and the growth above
ground now shows wonderful improve
ment
WHEAT IS ALL RIGHT.
Wheat held up well under the trying
conditions in the fore part of the week.
although it was beginning to look bad
ly in places before the rains. 1t is
now coming into head over much ol
the section. with a stalk shorter than
the average in a number of localities.
The general outlook continues good foT
satisfactory grain yield, although Il
is thought the straw viii be lighter
than expected earlier in the season.
/ Timothy and crimson clover suffered
appreciably during the long dry spell
and the hay yield will undoubtedly be
reduced. Reports from some districts
are to the effect that an average hay
crop is out OF the question. while in
others the revlving effects of the rains
have called forth more hopeful pre-.
dlctions. Glover is now in full bloom
and will soon be ready to cut in Anne
Arundel Oats suffered considerably
until the rains. but now shows mark
ed improvement. Rye is reported in
fair to excellent condition, although
like wheat, IL is generally heading low
Pastures have revived in all sections
Corn in the ground for the past three
weeks is just beginning to terminate
In some fields the prolonged dry spell
hardened the soil into thick, impen.
erable crust, and in such cases mucl
replanting will be necessary. The early
corn that came up before the dry
weather is now growing nicely.
FRUIT OUTLOOK UNCHANGED.
The fruit outlook continues prac
tically unchanged. The dry wealth
er caused some drop in Washington
county, but not enough to prove o.
material consequence. The peach crol
is very promising in all except the ex
treme west. where late frosts did lit
tie damage. Apples, while not mucl
hurt by the drought, are not quite s,
promising as other fruits and in Charles
county the twigs are being killed OF

usuRERs a ZANE.

There was an exciting time in and about
the Offices of the comptroller and treas
urer of Chicago on the last Gey CT Aug
ust The money sharks were around as
usual to file their assignments of salary,
which they had secured from city en-
ployes, but the treasurer tried to keep
cut of the way of service, and the comp
troller absolutely refused to deal with the
men holding assignments. In an I'M
guarded moment the treasurer exposed
himself and his pockets were Immediately
stuffed full Of the paper But the comp
troller simply put en- his fighting raiment
and defied the cormorants to come near
him. Said he to reporter: Diplomatic
relations have been broken off forever
between the sharks and this Office. They
are an intolerable nuisance and we won't
stand It,"
The fact that the sharks are a nuisance
is not the only reason why they should Se.
turned down by all public officials bearing
the duty of paying wages. The money
lenders who exact assignments of salary
are engaged in an unlawful business, no
matter if they do slkillfullly cover up
their lawbreaking by introducing false
statements in the notes with respect to
interest charged 1t is known to all men
who are intelligent enough to eat when
hungry that the money lender is never
satisfied with the legal rate. In fact the

the inspiration of the whole loan bust
ness which runs to salary assignment and
kindred security. If the fact that a man
is in the business is not In itself suf-
f1cient evidence to satisfy court Of the
illegal nature Of his transactions, it ought
to be enough to make his paper exceed
ingly unpopular at all business offices,
including those in the public service. Al
ready many Of the largest commercial
houses make it rule to instantly dis
charge an employee who allows an assign
ment of his salary to be filed. This theory
upon which the rule is based is that such
an employee is either extravagant or has
mighty poor business Judgment, and con-

This Indictment may be correct, but in
many cases no doubt the undesirable
characteristics in young man are de-
veloped by opportunity afforded by this
illegal business Of the money sharks. The
development CT the characteristics leads
to neglect Of obligations in the direction
Of family support causing want and
privation among innocent women and
children. Anything that strikes at family
comfort and welfare is contrary to
general public policy, and it is upon this
broad ground that all legislation against
usury Is based. With the usurer stand
ing in such light before the law, it seems
mockery that he can still use the
forms Of law and promote his business
by serving legal papers on employers.
In only a very few states is the law
drastic enough to prevent evasion, and
wherever it is not, the stand taken by
Chicago's city comptroller ought to be
copied in the public service, at least.

many is with the minority, and Valdez
see is a German.
Then comes the question of evacuat-
Ing Pekn. The same powers that are
willing to trust themselves in dealing
with Ii are in favor of Withdrawing
from the capital, while England is non
committal and Germany is stubbornly in
favor Of camping right at the palace
gates and splitting buckets of gore, If
necessary. If the majority should decide
would have less than 5000 troops to up-
hold their cause in Pekin, an insufficient
number and consequently the minority
would be forced to trail along in the re-
treat. In this case Count Waldersee's
own troops would do the trailing, and
the movement would be contrary to the
wishes of his imperial master.
Unity in action in all movements was
the theory upon which Waldersees COM
mand was accepted, and it is presumed
that the same theory governed the tender
of his services by the emperor of Germa-
ny. 1t is possible to imagine degree of
conceit in Emperor William which led
him to believe that there would be no dis
agreement with his plans and policy on
the part of the others and that the cam
paign would be one glad, sweet song Of
harmony, with a German general-in chief
directing the international forces in the
paths of German policy.
But that does ret seem to be possible.
AS events already show, there can hardly
be any progress unless the majority is
to dictate, and Germany is more than
likely to be in the minority nearly al the
time. If Waldersee himself cannot die
tate military movements, he will not be
much of a commander-in-chief. At least,
1t will not be the position which he and
his emperor have had in mind, for if he
must take his orders from majority OF
the governments he will not only be their
servant, but will have to order German
troops along lines d:sapproyed by En-
peror William. In short, unless there
shall develop perfect unity CT action, Wal
dersee cannot be coramander-in-chief and
a loyal subject of Emperor William at
the same time, nor can he execute com
mands from Berlin regardless of orders
from other capitals without being dispos-
ed of at once as commander-in-chief.
This prospect is not exactly a pleasant
one for Waldersee but it is probably the
best he has in sight, for if the majority
is not going to dictate when there hap
pens to be disagreement like that over
the evacuation of Pekin, there will be
no use for a commander-in-cbief, and
Waldersee will have to content himself
with the command over the German
troops alone until the powers get togeth-
er. Should disa agreement become hopeless
with respect to movements against China,
Waldersees ambition would not be real
lied at all
It seems that universal consent, given
In advance of formation of plans, and cut
of courtesy to the German emperor, does
not quite make commander-in-chief in
this instance.

A great deal of feeling antagonistic to
in complaints made by soldiers widows
in regard to the treatment their claims
receive. Considered Of little Importance in
their respective localities, these COM
plants are magnifed as they spread, and
they have helped cause the general i'm
preston that the pension office is with
holding just compensation.
The G ! o b e does not believe there is
an instance of an old soldiers widow,
who was a companion to her husband
from youth to old age, or for a reasonable
length of time, who is not receiving a
pension, or who does not have her APP
plication properly attended to. But there
is another class of widows who dc not
deserve pensions at all, and congress
has passed a law which seeks to debar
them from pension benefits In numer-
Gus cases old soldiers who were not ex
peeted to live more than few weeks or
months have been married to young girls,
the latter being led into the alliance
solely by their desire to get on the pen
sion rolls for life. They care nothing
for their old husbands, and in many in
stances refuse to live with them or COM
fort them in theig Old age. When they
are at last freed by death, they look for
the widows pension, and having secured
that marry again to men fully able to
support them.
This sort of business became a crying
| evil, and congress decided that it must
stop. The commissioner of pensions is
| only cbeying the law when he turns down
this class of applicants, or hangs up their
| claims for careful investigation. There
are now about 14,Cee applications for PEN
sions on file which have not been decided
and large proportion of them are of the
class just described.
A few hundred Of these disappointed
young girls can raise big cutlery and
cause it to be taken up in increasing voi-
ume by strangers who do not understand
the circumstances. 1t is difficult to say
to what extent they are responsible for
the feeling against the pension commits
siener, but they certainly have a great
! deal to do with it, and SO far as Mr..
Evans is being condemned by this class
he should not only be acquitted by public
sentiment, but encouraged to continue in
strict enforcement of the law.

ABUSE PROVES A BOOMERANG.
Gov. Lind VIII Profit by the Work
of Republican Papers.
West ST. Paul Broad Ike:

of Republican Papers.
West ST. Paul Broad Ike:
A good many of the Republican organs
and Republican politicians seem to find
an unaccountable satisfaction in abuse Of
the Swedish voters, because Of the very
general support which they have given
their distinguished countryman, John
Lind. They assume without the slightest
reason in fact that this element voted for
Mr.. Lind on the ground Of nationality
alone. While the incident of nationality
has doubtless and very naturally cut
some figure in determining an intelligent
and discerning class Of voters to give
support to Mr.. Lind, just as Senator Nell
son has profited By SIMILAR accident,
they, in common with the great mass of
their fellow citizens whose suffrages
made Mr.. Lind governor, were influenced
by the demand which Mr.. Linds ability
as public man. his proved probity in all
positions of public trust and responsible
ity, his conscientiou fidelity to the rights
and interests of the common people ana
his antagonism to political cabals and
corporate influences, made upon their
respect and confidence. The result has
established that their faith was well plac-
ed. Mr.. Lind's record at the head of the
state government under peculiarly diff
cult circumstances is beyond the reach
barrsssments placed in his way by I'M
sympathetic associates he has been able
to demonstrate In an efficient and prac-
teal way, and by results which neither
malice nor envy can cepreciate, that tho
chief executive OF the state can exercise
the duties of his office to the direct sd-
vantage and benefit OF the taxpayers;
and while it is reasonably certain that
practically the wholo vote cast for him
in the last election will go for him this
year with enthusiasm, should he accept
nomination, It is equally certain that
numbers who opposed him in 1893 will,
convinced by what he has Accomplished
and the ends which he advocates, be
numbered this fall among his supporters.
Some of the more sensible of the Repuk-
lican journals are beginning to reatize
that the foolish 1ibes and sneerS Of their
confreres at the Swedish voters in rsal-
ity doing good service for Mr.. Lind. AS
for example the st. Peter Free Press,
which thus rsbukes its scurrilous aSs5ci-
ates:
"The Republicans have every reason to
look for the election of their entire ticket
by good-sized majority, but it cannot BE-
accomplished by unfortunately abusing
the Swedes, and 1t had better be stepped
at once.
The public opinion which demands Mr..
Linds nomination. and which insures his
reelection, is not based upon any adj
vantage that may be gained from the
sympathy of citizens of the same origin,
but upon the higher and more effective
ground of the benefits which are to bs
secured to the state by retaining the
services of an official who has SO well
end wisely demonstrated his integrity,
his independence from influences that an
tagonize the welfare of the people. and
his high capacity for public usefulness.
