The Fruit Crop.
Thefrnit, crop has Still to run the
gauntletof a... good many dangers before
it is offeredfor sale in our city mar-
kets, but the later reports and common
observation unite to indicate that it is
not dead past resurrection yet.
The peach trees in the back yards
and in the gardens and orchards of the
surrounding country are in full, bloom
at present and furnish no indication of
having been injured by the late cold
wave. The fisame conditions exist as
to elerries and pears, and if these
a: rlier varieties of fruit have not been
injured by frost the apples have cer-'
: .inly escaped.
Reports from Delaware, New Jel soy
and other peach-growing sections coin-
cidewith what is very apparent in
Connecticut—that there is still a good
chance for a fair fruit crop, for all of
which the fruit-loving public
doubtless be very thankful.
The Army Bill.
Much can be said in favor of the army
\vill
bill prepared at the War Department .
and introduced in the Senate by Gen-
eral Hawley, a volunteer soldier of ex‘
perience and' judgment, says the Phil-
adelphia Times. From a purely mili-
tary standpoint it is thorough and ex-
cellent. But' 'it involves so complete a
centralization of military power that ,
the national traditions must have
changed very much if it can command
approval. i
_ Centralized power is of course very
necessary in the cenduct of a foreign
' war, but the soldiery of the several
in
uineteen-difierent- lengths will never
States must be the basis of any volun-
teer army, and it is neither necessary
nor altogether desirable that their
identity should beabsorbed and lost.
It is not merely State pride that will
object to this, but the common sense of
associated citizenship, and we should
think, that more would be lost than
gained: by too entire a subordination of
. State interest.
This is apart from that traditional
jealousy of military power that also is
likely to influence Congress; ‘so that we
expect a considerable modification in
some of the provisions Ofthis bill be-
fore it can become a law.

The fashion of greeting a person
with the left- hand instead of the right
