II has even been sung in the
church. There L. an instance, said 70 be
wellattested, Of an ambitious and trreyer-
ent leaderSof'a church choir who had o
selection from uPiiafore' adapted 70 m
opening piece for q Sunday morning ser.
vice, and who was very properly dismiss
ed therefor. The effect Of allthis upon
both the church and the world has been
disastrous. The church has been IN no
condition TO labor for Christ, and the
world has drowned It's cares and sins In 0
laugh. And 30, instead Of q revival In 70.
llgion, we have d revival ola comic opera,
"Pinatore,N takes the place OF piety. The
theatre sthe better OF the church.
OF course I do not attempt TO c%riticise
"Pinatore' Itself. II may be all It's admir-
ers claim for tia harmless and innocent
little musical satire upon society and its
ways. Ispeak now Amply OF its effects,
These l fear, are negatively, at least, bad
and tend To neutralize, as, perhaps, moth
Ing has done for years, the influence Of the
Gospel. Alas, the Christian people will
turn aside fot a laugh from tie great work
Of saving their fellowmenl Alas, thai
men out Of Christ are 40 willing to forget
in the strains Of comic opera the present
needs and eternal destinies Of their i'm
mortal soulal
Commenting on the above, Rev. Mr.
Swing proceeds to make the following OBJ
seryations: iN,G
The effect OF such letters, 80 far as they
are read, Is very bad. One such letteI
from a supposed Christian, against such
play as "Pfnafore,n would harm religion
more than the inidel lectures from an In
gersoll, because such letters make the
young feel that the Church Is no place fol
Them, and makes the actsrs on the stagt
feel that they must not attempt TO adap'
the stage to moral people, and 10 the hu'
mOrous sentiment. but must look for sup
port only to the baser forms Of society
A Christian who believes 10 q God BIZ
makes Him repulsive differs not much
from the Atheist who denies the existence
OF a Deity, for the idea Of no God Is no
p~erceptibly worse in effect than the ide,
Of a God whom no thinking mind car
admire.
What the world needs Is both a purt
and true religion, and pure and oft.return
ing amusements. Our world all came from
one God, and He who made man able Il
weep made him able to laugh. He wht
made logic made also wit. He who madI
Paul and Wesley made Homer, and Ger
yantes, and Shakespeare, and " mus
listen to the solemn words OF Paul, ant
must laugh over the Don Qnixote or thu
Two Dromios. Let the good ship ''Pina
fore" sail on and sail around. Her crew
Is indeed not made up Of philosophers, o.
preachers, or statesmen, but It Is also truI
that a daisy is not an oak, aud a happ!
robin Is never an eagle.

The condition of the Crop. IN The we.l

The Condition OF The Crops ia West,
The crop correspondent OF the New
York Bulletin, who has his headquarters at
Chicago and from that point keeps the
Bulletin very fully advised OF the crop out
look in the West, sends an interesting
summary as to prospects to Saturdays
issue of that paper. Speaking OF the pros.
pect for winter wheat, he Essays that the situa.
ton OF the crop In Kansas has caused con.
siderable anxiety owing to the severe
weather in March and thus far in April.
In Southern Illinois the prospect Is much
better. III central Illinois the farmers are
very much buck with their spring work,
aud but very little blowing for corn has
been done thus far. In regard to corn, the
only Suite in the Northwest where any
progress has been made is Kansas. The
ground Is mostly ploughed and planting
we'll along, but the same conditions which
have operated against the winter wheat
have also been uatAvor4bIe to the corn.
Kansas must have rain and plenty of 1t to
insure good crops.
GENERAL REVIEW.
Dakota The wheat tspring) is about all
IN, but the ground Is very dry aud good
rains are needed.
Mtnnso;a. Seeding is not over and the
farmers Will be very busy all this week.
The early sown wheat Is Just beginning to
Come up, but it is too o o 10 determine az
to the stand.
Iouq.-Farmers are all done sowing and
the grain coming up. Some complaint offs
poor stand, but not enough ~ make II gem

opinion HIS " the true situation.
Mbrdaea.-rhe grain is all sown. The
same untavOrable cOnditiOnsare also Affect

hear no really u~ufavoable symptoms. vet
1t Is very evident there is a feeling Of I'm.
certainty with regald 10 the results Of the
spring seeding,
W'cOnSin is very backward with her
work aud IN many localities not a kernel OF
grain has been sOwn.
THE CONCLUSION
at which we arrive after a general review
81 the crop situation in the Northwest Is
this: Avery dry, cold, backward spring:
materially injuring the winter wheat IN
Kansas and threatening still further dam.

Increased. The present stock on hand

Governor in the cases Of Commissioners Erhardt

being held by the Mayor until he could decide
upon a successor for Gen. Smith. The Gov

TO RE TETOED.
Mr.. Hayes will Prevent the Army BIN from
becoming n Law.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-It is said tonight,
upon the authority Of one OF Hayes's connden-
tial advisers that he will veto the Army Appro-
priation bill. and that the veto message is al
ready partly prepared. The principal obiec-
tion which Hayes finds against the bill is that
1t limits his powers. Tho intention to coerce
him. he thinks was openly implied and speci-
fed in the recent debates in the House and
Senate pending the passage OF the bill. No at
tempt will be made to defend the use OF troops
at the polls Hayes is on record against mill
tary interference with elections. He IS simply
too great a coward 10 resist the demands OF Re-
publican Congressmcn for a veto. Hayes has
been plainly informed that II no approves
either Of the Appropriation bills he will be LETT
where Andrew Johnson was in 1861 without a
party behind him. The veto message will be
sent to Congress early next week probably on
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The probability OF a veto was indicated In the
House this afternoon by Garfield. While the
debate on the Legislative Appropriation bill
wns in progress II was announced thAt the
Army bill had passed the Senate. There was a
clapping Of hands among Democrats, but Gar
field spoke up. saying significantly: He
