Mr.. WILSON HAS

Cabinet reconstruction has once more
been brought into prominence as the re
suit of the persistent reports that Sec
retary Wilson Will retire soon after the
crop report troubles are settled.
one of the charges made against the
veteran Secretary. who is both IN years
and service the Nestor of the Admin
istration, Is that he is a better scicn-
list than dIscipIinartan
1t is alleged in particular that he
has failed TO systematic the organiza-
ton and management of the big estab-
lishment over which he presides. This
weakness i, held responsible for the IT.
Irregularities that have lately developed
there
The difficulty about organizing the
Agricultural Department is a funda-
mental one" sand a scientist IN one of
the departments. You know we scien-
fists are pretty generally regarded as
cranks. and the estimate isn't very far
from wrong. II is a difficult matter TO
organize this class of workers. investi-
gators. and eXperimenters, into an ef-
fectiVe machine.

The Anacostia and Potomac River
Railroad Company has issued a notice
to their employees calling attention to

This regulation provides no car shall

greater than four miles per hour. and.
further, that no car shall cross the

TO pick flaws in the companies with
which George ]. Gould is most proIni-

taken up being the Western Union. As
a matter of fact this IS rather less a

lumber OF big men not belonging TO
the Could party on its directorate. The
criticism / made that the company has

that is evidently reflected in the mar

years the CCmpany'S gross earnings have
Increased from So, ,2I8. 900 10 $29. 249. 600.
while the annual surplus over charges
and the regular per cent dividend has
increased from $40 000 to approximately
81, coo, ,000. 1t Is conceded that these are
not imposing increases. but one OF the
chief reasons why the stock is patiently
held year after year by investors IS
that its gross income Is comparatively
little affected In periods OF business de-
preston.
A hot weather Jest was that the de-

Needs Bigger Salary.

70 secure the services of such a man
for $500 is recognized as Impossible. It
is thought that for 5000 the proper sort
o. official can be had, although ii Is
recognized that even at this figure the
man who takes the place will probably
be forced To make some financial sac
rifce
Among the names that have been the
subject OF gossip in connection with
the position are Legrande Powers, Of
Minnesota; B. ". Snow, Of the Orange
Judd-Farmer Company. OF Chicago, and
Victor Olmstead. now assistant chief
It can be said, however, that the au-
thorities that viii have the making of
the appointment are giving no consid-
Grafton TO any mans claims or qualifi-
cations at present, because OF the con-
V-ction that the man who is wanted
cannot be had until the position shall
pay better salary. It is therefore very
possible that Assistant Eecretary Hays
may be fo- a good share of a year in
charge OF the work.
That there viii be at least one further
resignation from the division that has
had charge OF the crop reports is ex-
pected, though 1t is stated that no
has as yet been placed in the hands of
Secretary Wilson. There is, however,
one emplOye who has been the subject
OF some runlors, and whose resignation
though ii is not understood to have
been requested, may be received a any
time, and doubtless would be accepted
whenever received.
The Washington times., 1905-07-19
Olmstead Is Vindicated.

Concerning the reports that Victor
Olmstead, now assistant chief of the
division has been objected 10 because
of some stock market operations In
which he engaged some time ago, it is
explained that Mr. OImsteads transac-
tions have been explained to the Secret
Service men who had charge Of the re-
cent investigation, and that they were
so entirely convinced of his innocence
that he was not mentioned, or this de-
partment of the inquiry alluded TO. in
the reports then made.
The Washington times., 1905-07-19
One Case in Point.

For instance I recall one case that
illustrates this difficulty as it is eX-
perienced IN the Department of Agri-
culture. There IS a bureau of soil study
or something OF that sort. which has
done good work The Secretary dis
covered man over in Maryland who
had accomplished some excellent results
in this direction by different methods,
and wanted him.
After some effort he induced the Mary
lander to join the department; but II
was only on condition that he should
be the head of a bureau. So the bureau
OF AGRICULTURAL soils, l think ii is called
was established for his accommodation.
The idea of having two such bureaus
is. OF course all nonsense; but il was
necessary in order to satisfy the man
whose services promised much real ac-
ccmpIishmcnt"
This is typical it is said. of conditions
Ia the department. That the oTSauIHa-
tiUn il lCOse and uuDusineSslike has been
alleged fer 4 long time; it is also well
known that 10 perfect 4 closer ana more

very likely have a demOraliZuE effect

All Sorts of Suggestions.

There have been all sorts OF sugees-
tions. from the abolition of the crop re-
ports to transferring them To the De
partment of Commerce and Labor. 1t
can be said however, that nothing Of
the kind Is likely TO take place for !he
reason that the Congressional Commit
tees on agriculture are very friendls, to
Secretary Wilson.
Senator DOllVcr. who. like Secretary
Wilson is an lCWuH. and thoroughly
loyal friend to The Secretary, is slated
for head Of the upper house Committoe

A SCANT FRUIT YEAR.

Ii now seems evident that this is to
be year of fruit scarcity in the east
ern section of the United States, unless
California comes to the rescue and ships
the needed supplies clear across the
Continent. The Georgia peach crop.
which is now practically at the finish.
was less than half as large as the crop
of last year. In Eastern Maryland and
Southern Delaware few peach orchards
are in bearing this year. and this penir-
sula crop of the luscious fruit, which us
ually stocks the markets from Baltimore
TO Boston. and as far West as Buffalo.
will be almost entirely missing. In iso-
lated instances. where growers can
gather a few scattering baskets from
their orchards. they will be able to Sc
cure fancy prices. Other kinds of au-
tumnal fruit are not in the usual abun-
dance. Grapes are retailing at unus-
usually high prices. and good apples are
selling at figures not known before in
many years. Even lemons. which. dur
ing many previous seasons. have been
remarkable for their cheapness, are
now retailing at fancy prices.
The United States is so varied in soil
and climate that universal fruit fail
ure is of rare occurrence. There is not.
of course, a universal fruit failure this
year. there have been fruits in market
continuously since January There
seems to be such general shortage
this year. however. that the fresh fruit
supply has moved into the classification
of luxuries from being the cheap sum-
mer commodity which it usually is. In
modern times fruits have come into use
as an article of diet to an extent that
vastly exceeds the consumption of fifty
or sixty years ago.
Fruitgrowing in certain territories
has become a staple industry. There
are apple, pear and peach orchards that
cover hundreds of acres. and straw
berries and grapes are grown in like
profusion and shipped to the city
markets in carload lots. In this coun-
try especially have the arts of horticul-
ture been developed and expanded.
Fruits are not only supplied in abun-
dance for fresh consumption to the
cities, but they are extensively canned.
preserved and evaporated, and in such
forms they enter largely into the ex
port commodities that are sold abroad.
A general fruit failure is not quite so
serious as an extensive shortage in
wheat or in cotton. but it is matter of
serious moment. even when fruits are
so scarce as to be high-priced and not
cheap, as they usually are. in this coun-
try. If it should happen that We must
import considerable portion of our
malic acid supply this year, that will be
an unusual and somewhat deplorable
circumstance Phila Record
