Crop Talk.

When the year gets half way thru
the month of May people begin to look
around the country little more and to
talk about the crops. The northwest
is so big, presents such great differ
ences of soil, climate, and moisture dis
tribution, and is so subject to local in
fuences that hasten or delay, that there
never is any uniformity in spring farm
work. While seeding is just starting
in some localities it often follows that
the grain is already several inches
above ground in others. It is long
stretch from southern Minnesota and
southern South Dakota to the Canadian
line, and from the Mississippi river to
the Missouri slope of North Dakota.
May Is may be said to mark the di-
vide between interest in preliminary
work and solicitude over the outcome.
By that time seeding has usually been
completed in the counties farthest be-
hind and the more advanced localities
are already sending in reports of how
the infant plant looks.
Elsewhere in The urnal ap-
pears short summary covering Mime
sofa, North Dakota and South Dakota
Conditions are very promising. Grain
men of long experience say that little
more could be desired, and that it is
doubtful if general northwest crop con
ditions were ever better at cores
ponding date.
This is the sort of thing that inspires
,, confidence in the farmer, and encour
ages the country merchant to stock W
and get ready for good business later
that makes the country banker liberia
in his views, and spreads pleasan
prospect before the city jobber ant
manufacturer, who can see in the prom
Use Of good crops a great chance TO-
fall business.

Thugoery Should be Rebuked.

The courts are inclined to tolerate
what is called "peaceful picketing'';
that is, the right of strikers to reason
with other men who have taken their
Jobs, and persuade them to desist from
labor or to Join the union, or both.
But the occurrence in Minneapolis yes
terday, when two linemen working for
the Northwestern Telephone company
were assaulted with missiles and
brought in terror of their lives, had
little resemblance to anything but riot
and the spirit of murder. One Of the
assaulted men drew a revolver and
fred in self-defense, and, firing in self
defense, inflicted a wound in the leg
of one Of his tormentors.
The Journal does not presume
to exercise any judgment upon the
merits of the linemen's strike. That
is not the question. The question is
of the peace and order of the commu'
nifty. If men take the jobs vacated by
strikers, and if they cannot be per
suaded to give them up, the picketine
has failed and the matter is settled as
far as those men are concerned. The
law Of the land upholds their right tc
work. It extends over them the pro
lection of the state. They will be pro
tected, and those who. by assault OF
illegal intimidation, attempt to dete1
them, do it at their own risk.
The police appear to have beer
promptly on the ground in this case
and to have successfully rescued thu
men who were being beaten to death b,
thugs. It is pity they did not secur
the persons Of more members Of tn
assaulting gang. There must have bee1
a dozen cowardly participants in thi
attempt to do two unoffending men t.
death, and yet there was only on
arrest.

Potter Of Minneapolis, professor Of liter
allure in the University of Minnesota,
made a spirited reply. in which she
pointed out that the traditional jealousy
of woman for woman is entirely lacking
in America. 'In America" she IS re-
ported to have said, when one woman
succeeds. she helps all her sex; when
she fails, her failure reflects on all the
others Mrs. Potter explained that the
increase of women wage-earners In Amer

home or maternity, but indicates their
unwillingness to subject their lives to the
many chances Of marriage.

effort have some permanent machinery.
Unless they are watched and continu-

habits.
The league is not contented with
cleaning up the city; it has some other
ideas which it wishes to see carried out
and which it can advance only by per-
sistent effort. The city contains two

Two other matters Of more immedi-
ate Importance to which the league is
committed are the construction of a
water filtration plant and the accept
ance of some such proposition as was
made by the SEQ railroad for the re.
moval Of garbage and waste. The fl
tration plant is inevitable. It cannot
be long deferred, as our source of water
supply is not only becoming subject to
greater pollution from year to year:
it is not now at any time free from the
deadly germs of typhoid, and yet moth
ing else is available for the great major
ity of the population. The acceptance OF
Mr.. Lowry's offer Of land pledges the
city to the construction Of a filtration

der for whose accomm odation this cross

School children who take the same car
each day are almost daily forced to wait
fifteen minutes at one intersection and
frequently at both, when a glance by the
conductor or motorman would suffice to
see the waving of books and hurried exit
in order to catch the other car.
Why cannot the conductors have a set
of signals arranged for them whereby
they may give notice to the car at each
intersection to walt for passengers who
desire to transfer?
1t Is manifestly unjust to the travelling
public to force the passengers to depend
entirely upon the good will and courtesy
Of the individual conductors and motor
men. Some plan should be devised to re-
lieve them of the long and unnecessary
delays at transfer points on this cross

The House-Moving Nuisance.

The house moving season seems to
have arrived again, and we shall be
annoyed by distractions in the streets
the entire summer unless the council
takes steps to prevent such use of the
public highways, But the mere matter
Of obstruction is not the most serious
phase Of this house-moving business. 1t
is the usual destruction of shade trees.
People on Lyndale avenue N have been
obliged this week to defend their shade
trees with shotguns. 1885,.
A good deal of indignation was ex-
pressed yesterday when it was known
that man who cut down shade tree
in connection with this house-moving
had been fined So in the municipal
court. Of course, So as a penalty for
an offense Of that kind is ridiculous
and simply means encouragement to it's
repetition. It appears, however, that
in this case the person arrested was a
boy who was obeying instructions of
his employer, and that the tree cut
down was not Of great value. We are
sure that the court will have no mercy
on principals charged with that offense
| when tried before it, and that this case
is no precedent. That the offense was
not more serious, however, was only
because the residents of the district
armed themselves with shotguns anc
stood guard. -.
The remedy for the whole thing lies
in preventing the moving of old shack:
thru the streets. The little private ad
vantage to be gained by transferring
an old shell of house from one part
of the city to another is no iustifica
tion for the inconvenience to the public
and the almost inevitable damage t,
other property. When Minneapolis wa

an imposition upon the public coul'
be tolerated, but it ought not to b.
longer submitted to in this city.
