The REGrsrER has been at considerable
pains TO yet an exact and comprehensive
summary of the state Of the various crops
in Wsst Virginia For this purpose We
have sent queries to every portion Of The
state and 10 Western Pennsylvania and

which are given elsewhere. They cover
the State fairly, and present q more

forth the richest blessings Mother EHth
can bes.ow upon mankind. The only
rerious drawback has been the exceedingly
wet weather. From every section Of The
State come the same complaint from The
farmers Of too much rain. Floods no
i.oiated cases have destroyed crops, but
luckily the instances are few.
Hay is reported exceptionally good
everywhere. and IL problbly the finest
crop of all OATS however, pushes hay

where the crop is damaged by rust b. Is

ARLrNr PREAcHER.

TIE editor Of the 1rtmsgs 0ueinm
takes a gloomy view Of the religious situ-
alton.
The Ctwcimm declares that our NOR
ship OF Mammon is az real and vicious as
ever engaged the pagan devotion Of any
people, and says tba. a period Of spiritual
eclipse, Of terribly apostasy, threatens
Christsndom
Although our contemporary firmly be-
Eevos that the csuse o. CHRIST viii ult-
mately triumph, still i. recognizes the fact
that it is possible for nation to turn
away FROM Con. and suGer on the bitter
conssq uences Of aposlasy.
There are other unpleasant things thst
embi,ter the Hf. Of this editor. His plain
way Of calling attention TO the dangers of
the aes has made him enemies, and be has
been warned TO beware Of sssassination.
We canaol imsgine q more unhappy
man than an easnest Christian who be-
Hsves that the churches have apostatzad,
and that ihe world again needs The shed
ding of martyrs blood TO shock nominal
Christians into a realization Of the hideous
nature Of modern paganism.
It must be admitted that there is good
deal of ihil sort Of talk these days. Asa
rule. 10 comes from the oouniry-the big
Sl0Oo0a-year metropolitan preachers do
net take such a blue view of the situation.
There ia something in all this worth think.
ing about. Perhaps lei a good sign. Toe
country ia, as it always has bsen, power
fal moral factor, and the city churches viii
never dare to stray very far from the simple
faith aud the practices solidly upheld by
the country churches. The cities may fall
into cratic ways, but sooner or later The
country will straighten them out

Statehood at Last.

1t was while the Herald was being
printed last week that the bill authoriz-
ing the territories of Washington, Mon
tana, North and South Dakota to pre-
pare for immediate admission to the
union of states, was signed by President
Cleveland. 1t goes without saying that
there was universal rejoicing in the
commonwealth affected, and that the
steps requisite to becoming states will
be promptly taken.
Under the provisions OF the bill we
shall have an election on May II, next,
to choose members of a convention which
is to assemble on July 4th to prepare a
state constitution. This instrument
will be submitted to the popular vote on
9th of October, and if it shall be ap-
proved, the territory will be admitted by
executive proclamation. On the same
date an election may be held for state
officers, member of Congress and for
members of the legislature; and for the
election by the last-named body of two
United States senators who viii take
seats upon the assembling of Congress in
December.
Just at present, Washington's popu-
lation is allowed two senators and but
one representative-Mon and North
Dakota the same South Dakota, by
virtue OF superior numbers, will have
two of each. We now take pleasure in
nominating Hon. JOHN B. ALLEN for
the position of representative. Do we
hear " second"?
