NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-With the
gathering Of the National League
clans in New York to-day, preliminary
TO the annual spring meeting, the
warfare between President Harry G..
Puiliam and Garry HERMANN, Of Gin
rInnati, owe the blacklist matter will
8be brought to a focus. Pulliam's
I Threatened resignation is not consid-
cred seriously at the present time, al
though there is an undercurent OF
feeling that the affairs of the league
are reaching critical stage and that
change in the presidency Will be
necessary soner or later to restore
harmony in the warning camps.
While the friends of Pulliam claim
4 to control the situation, HERMANN
VIII fight Just the same, it is said, be-
cause he believes that Pulliam has
attacked him without warrant. In
this contention he may stand alone.
yet IT will make no difference to the
Cincinnati man. At the same time
Herrimann is anxious to have Ban
johnson and the American League
men back him up in his opposition to
Pulllam's methods. and as Johnson is
inclined to lean in Pulliam's direction
there may be some interesting devel-
opments.
The blacklist matter, which caused
all the trouble, has been widely dis
cpssed, but the fact has been appa-
rently lost sight of that in demanding
the wiping out of the blacklist, con-
tract jumping will be encouraged
rather than suppressed. 1t Is under.

Emma Goldman was prevented from
speaking in Chicago, but yesterday
she managed to address a crowd in
Milwaukee with characteristic
harangue Conditions in this country,
she said, are Identical with those pre-
ceding the French revolution. Liberty
in this country she held to be vast
lie, she saw conspiracy in this coun-
try to hang every person connected
with anarchy and she ventured the
assertion that "There are not enough
cannon and soldiers in existence to
stop the tide of anarchy"
1t is not to Milwaukee's credit that
Goldman was permitted to find an
audience there when denied one in
Chicago. 1t is not the credit of any
city that it will permit speaker of
the Goldman type to make a direct at
tack on government in an appeal to
weak-minded. criminally-reckless fol-
lowing. If the immigration laws give
the government power to protect the
country by deportation from such in,
citers to crime, Emma Goldman should
be the first one. deported

WHAT, The FRUIT sAFE2.

Kansas City Journal-Though all
nature dimples in the first rosy blush
of a vernal awakening and the spicy
air of salubrious spring invigorates
the body and restores the soul, We are
haunted by brooding dread because
the fruit crop has not been killed. With
the essence of renewed life throbbing
in all the pulses of the outer world
retarding spirit of apprehension bids
us pause-as one starting upon a
pleasant journey, yet fearing a vague
and nameless terror. By all the signs
and portents spring it here, but-the
fruit crop has not been officially kill
ed?
Horticulturists are those we'll mean
ing gentlemen who fail to see the
beauties of nature because they are
always prowling behind the scenes,
scraping the paint off and grubbing
into noisome places. For the past
few days these Industrious investigat-
ors have been pinching buds and cut
ting twigs in an endeavor to kill the
fruit crop. But they announce with
a sigh of disappointment that the fruit
crop is all right. That is what Is
wrong. Heretofore since the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary
the peach and apple crops have been
nicely killed by this time, and then
we knew that the season of gladstone
ness was full upon us and that anon
the fish would be biting in the Blue
and the tulips be blooming in the
sunken gardens of the Paseo.
For a little time yet this community
must hold it's breath before leaping
forth with a whoop to meet the
nymphs of spring, for said nymphs
generally hold back for the killing
frost that withers the fruit and brings
joy to the heart of the market man.
If nothing happens within the next
two weeks Kansas City may then
know that it has witnessed a miracle
"a season that has not killed the
fruit.
