likely to be reported during the week, but
will probably not be pushed to the front
for consideration unless the unfinished
measures already pending are disposed Of
earlier than seems likely TO be the case.
The North Dakota bin still awaits favor
able opportunity for discussion, but can
be mentioned only as possibility for the
coming week. Considerable time is likely
TO be spent in secret session, first upon the
Chinese treaty, and when that measure is
disposed OF, upon the fisheries treaty.

THE FARMERS REVIEW
Reports the Condition Of Crops-Notes
From Washington,

From Washington,
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 6.--The Farmers
Rerie,r, in its crop review this week, will
say: The drought, which at the time Of our
last report had become quite a serious
matter, has, since then, fortunately been
broken by nearly general rains Of sufficient
abundance to start the stagnated grass into
life again, and materially assist the strug.
Cling wheat plants. More time, however,
must elapse before reports from the coun-
try indicate the amount OF benefit TO the
grass and wheat fields from these rains,
and this week our correspondents only In
q few instances refer TO improvement in
the condition Of crops rs occasional show
ers. In Illinois the outlook for the winter
wheat crop is still gloomy, and add to the
insects have begun TO make their appear
ances. Good progress has been made with
corn planting, and grain seeding is finished
In many places tho oat crop since the
rain fell has commenced 10 come up nicely.
Indiana still makes bad report on the
condition OF tho winter wheat crop, the
entire country reports improvement
corn planting is not generally begun.
Prospects at present are fair. Our reports
seem TO indicate that Ohio will not have
much in excess OF half crop of winter
wheat unless the rains have brought about
change in the condition of affairs, OF
which as yet we have no information. The
seeding season has been later than usual
and corn planting has not begun. Fruit
prospects are good.
The winter wheat crop In Kentucky Is
good as compared with other States
Small grain seeding il about finished.
Fruit prospects arc very fair.
In Missouri the condition Of the winter
wheat crop is fairly good, but insects have
begun their work, and moro rain il need
ed. Seeding done and corn planting is well
forward. Fruit prospects are very favor
able, except for peaches, Rain is needed
for pastures. Kansas makes the best re-
port on winter wheat crop. Farming opcr-
ntions are going on rapidly. Good progress
in spring seeding has been made in the
other western States, although the season
is somewhat backward and pastures bare
as n rule, warm rains being much needed.

On the main question the lNTELLIGEN-
GER agrees with the Rev. L. L. Stewart,
of Moundsville. A preacher has as
much right in politics as lawyer, ply
stefan, grocer or a tailor. 1t is the com
mon right OF all American citizens to be-
long to the party which suits them best,
to speak for that party, to vote for it and
to take part in its councils,
Some times the question OF propriety,
or, to use the word in a good sense, OF
policy is involved. II by his active par
ticipation in politics preacher were in
juring his influence in the pulpit, it
would be for him to decide whether he
would get out OF politics or get out of
the pulpit. We do not apply this to Mr..
Stewart any more than to any other min
lister OF the gospel; for we do not know
that he is any less influential in the pull
pit because he takes an active part in
politics.
We should be very sorry to know that
a preacher lad been put under the ban
for supporting the Prohibition party, for
that the preacher has a right to do. But
another man has the same right not to
support the Prohibition party, and not
to support The prohibitory amendment,
and for exercising one or both OF these
rights some fairly respectable citizens Of
West Virginia have been denounced by
Prohibitionists as being controlled by
the rum power" Bought up by the
whisky influence" and more OF the same

Having Hard Time with Free Wool.
In the Register Of Thursday appears
the following alleged statements OF fact:
John Woods, on the Cadiz and Mar,
tins Ferry pike, has paid from 20 to Is
cents per pound for number Of clips oil
wool. Mr.. Patton, OF Richland town
ship, Belmont county, has refused ~
cents for his wool, and thinks 1t will so
higher. He feels confident he will get
as much, il not more, than he got last
year. This looks like the Mills bill
would bring up the price OF wool.
We have notyet heard from Mr. Pat
ton, but We have from Mr.. Woods, who
authorizes the statement that he has not
bought a pound OF wool this year; from
which it appears to be untrue that "hi
has paid from 90 to 2S cents per pound
for lumber of clips Of wool"
Mr.. Woods says further that he knows
OF but one sale of wool above % cents,
and that was at q cents, and the DOCK
arc was SO great that the price was
brought down to 2Sor "a cents. To Dor
row and slightly amend the Register''
own peculiar English, "this does not
look like the Mills bill would bring up
the price OF WOOL"
We beg to assure our Free Trade
friends that the trouble in which they
find themselves by reason Of their effort
to put wool on the free list, is only q
slight forctastc OF the trouble that is
ahead for them. They won't live long
enough to convince the American wool
grover that is better for him to let into
this country free the cheaply grown
woods OF South America and Australia
And while we are on this subject, per
haps we can induce some Free Trader tc
explain little matter. Ii free WOO
would be good for the American wool
grover, why would not free rice be goo(
for the American rice-grower?

TIE IxrELLloENoER is in receipt OF
many expressions approving its sugges-
tons with regard to the Republican
nomination for Congress in the First
District. The party likes the idea that
it shall have chance, instead of being
confined to choice between gentlemen
who have stirred up the bushes in their
own behalf. There is no discredit in
pursuing that course, but since it was
altogether optional, the party does not
owe either one of them nomination
because he "went in and made fight"
The greater and more important fight is
to come after the nomination, and the
party may prefer to choose its ownleader
from among those who have not sought
to beplaced in that responsible position.
