THE ASSEMBLY SHAM.
THE effort to revive the political convention under the
name of "assembly" is made under pretense of uni
fying the republican party. As a matter of fact, the re
publican party, without political machines, is nearer unity
today than ever in its history, and the assembly is simply
a cloak to restore the political machine to power.
There never was a time during the regime of machine
rulo when the party was not split wide open with factional
fights. The Mitchell-Simon war is still fresh in tho pub
lic mind and the pages of the past reveal a succession of
party squabbles that continually landed democrats in
office.
The trouble with the politicians of the party is that
they will not accept the dictation of the republican ma
jority, and will vote for a democrat rather than for a re
publican not chosen by themselves. Even now the Orego
nian, prime mover and organ in chief for the assembly,
promises the knife for candidates chosen by the people, not

sick of that whole thing. Some of our good friends very
eminent and important in party ocuncils, do not realize
that. Nothing has surprised me more in 1113 short official
career than to find how remote from the public feeling are
those who assert it is their business to know.it."

FRUIT reports from all sections indicate a normal apple
crop in the far east, a partial crop in the middle west,
a practical failure in the southwest and a large yield on
the Pacific coast. The prospects indicate general short
age and good prices.
The outlook for apples is very poor in Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa and further west, irregular and
spotted in the southwest.
Michigan apple orchards escaped the havoc wrought
further west and southwest, and this is also true of some
other northern states. Yet Michigan, even though not
suffering very much from April frosts, caught it hard in
May.
Western New York has every prospect of a good crop,
no material damage by frost, a good set of fruit and bright
prospects.
Pennsylvania orchards which did not bear heavily last
year are promising, yet in some important counties the
set of fruit runs licht. In Maryland a few orchards situat
ed on low points were injured by frosts, but not enough to . JSVoTa Vir? J?,,..0 Zr-
