MAYS METEOROLOGICAL MARvELs.

The frosts of the last few nights have inflicted
grave damage on fruit and truck in the region to
which Washington looks for its immediate supplies.
There is reason to expect that fruit especially, will
be scarce and expensive this season, and that vege
tables will be late and dear.
! May has beaten all March records for mercuial
character 1t has presented us with the hottest May
weather in many years. the coldest May weather in the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant and the drest
dry spell that has been known in q number Of
seasons, at least, in May. Moreover, the drought
comes at a most inopportune time, and is producing
disastrous effects in retarding development of every
thing that the cold is not injuring.

NOTHING WILL TAKE ITS PLACE.

The trouble is ! haven't had home for many,
many years have been sent from one school to
another school and then to another one; but none
was home What have wanted SO badly is home
lust a homeland have not had 1t.
These words, coming with the ring of simple
truth from Ramona Borden, the poor little rich
girl" in whose flight from restraint the country has
been interested in the last week, are the appeal of
many hearts besides hers.
One State after another has been passing bills
to pension widowed or deserted mothers in order to
keep the home together. The future of the country
depends upon its citizens, and the home is their
best training school. Nothing can take its place
not even wealth such as the Borden heress possesses
Even if some of the new legislation on the SUBJ
ject of mothers pensions is not in the best shape to
accomplish its object it is healthy sign OF normal
national viewpoint that persists in spite OF many
influences At work to undermine il.

THE GREATEST DREADNoUCHT.

Whether single dreadnought of 10000 tons is
better than two of 10000 tons each seems as yet to
be a subject for argument. There are eminent
authorities on both Sides 1t is but very few years
since the 2OOO0-ton battleship was itself huge
that naval experts shook their ileads and doubted it
was good business Now battleshp of 10000 tons
is undersized.
The navy general board is going to ask SIC, ,O00,-
600 this year. to build just one monster vessel OF 49,,
600 tons. 1t appears that the money will be asked in
this FORM because of the feeling that Congress would
be unwilling appropriate for more than one battle
Ship but it wouldn't much mind the size! So the naval
authorities have in mind to get just much money,
only they will put it into ship instead of two!
That sounds good deal like pure idiocy. The
one and only question that ought to determine the
tonnage of bateships is the question of utility.
What is the best size, and speed, and armament?
II OOOO-ton monster is really the best investmen,
for S2OOOOO0O it ought to be built but it certainly
ought not to be built merely as a means to getting
the money out of Congress.
Neither Congress nor the department can afford
to be childish about such a serious matter this.
A 4Ooo0ton battleship would be too fast to maneu-
yer at full speed with the rest of the fleet; so it must
te assumed that to order one of that type would be
merely the beginning toward a new squadron, at
least How many harbors on our coasts would admit
and accommodate that Sort of a vessel? How would
il fit the Panama canal and harbors? Where are the
drydocks to receive IT?
. These questions need answer. If the answers are
satisfactory and the vessel really is the one the navy
should have 20 ahead But don't start such tre-
mendous proposition out of mere pettishness.

THE MELTING POTS CAPACITY.

Despite that crops have been and promise to be
large, that business generally is active and LABOR well
employed, there is striking measure OF labor dis.
turbance throughout the country The railroad
employees have been steadily winning their conten-
tions thus far, and winning without disturbance OF
industry or discomfort to the public Their powerful
organizations, long and frankly recognized by the
corporations, have negotiated adjustments IN which
employer and employe, in effect, agree to get along
together and let the public pay the bills.
But in many industrial centers, and in widely
varying lines of activity strikes, with accompaniment
Of riots, have been remarkably frequent. Organized
and persistent agencies of agitation are at work.
What does it all signify?
Seemingly, that our great melting pot of national
tiles and is failing to absorb the elements that
are poured into it, fast enough to keep conditions
stable. The immigrants come at the rate OF more
than million year, and are put at work doing the
labor of the country They willing to work at the
task that offers, for the wage that may be had; what
ever the task or the wage, they find their condition
at least better than it in the country they left
They are satisfed-at first.
But it takes not many years for the process OF
assimilation to invest these newcomers with new
equipment of interests, tastes ambitions. They see
the American way of living; they send their children
to schools; they acquire desires for better and more
expensive things. They discover that, in country
in which even the workingman is not necessarily
barred from enjoying some of the better things Of
life, they not getting much as they could COM
fortaby enjoy. They are surroupded and uncon-
sciousy Influenced by the American disposition to
reach out constantly for better estate in life.
Wonderment is succeeded by inquiry, inquiry by rest
lessness resessness by agitation, organization, and
at length the overt acts of demand and protest.
These things are inevitable. So long as alien
workers come to us, to find that the country offers
the possibilities of better conditions; long as the
spirit of democracy is in the air. sunimoning every
man to look out for mis- own interest and to insist
on his sharejust so long there will be friction and
disorder and difficulty as accompaniments to the
process Of assimilating the newer elements to our
selves That is what the labor disturbances mean
