The condition Of tho crop is report
ed ms nearly mp to the average and
last year. The cultivation has been
timely and thorough, and it is report,
ed that there has rarely been II season
when grass and weeds have given SO
little trouble, due largely to the fact
that thc rainfall has nowhere been OK

of the plant. it is on the whole very
promising much better than either
last year or the year before at this
timc-nnd this is particularly true OF

Vrginia S New Eiectjon Law.

A new ballot law will go into effect
in Virginia on the LIST of July, and it
will be the means, it is expected, of
rcviving to some extent the Rcpubl-
can party in the Old Dominion Until
William Malone WAS dcfcnted bv Me-
Kinney by over 10000 majority in
1889, Virginia WAS regarded as one
of the close States, r"adjustcr move
ment taking many old-linc Democrats
into the Republican camp. In the
contest for President in 1884, Clcve-
land defeated Blaine in Virginia by
6, 100, and in 1883 the Cleveland cleo
toral ticket was actually in II
minority, though Clcvcland's plurality
over Harrison was 800 in poll of
800, 900. Outside of Richmond city.
which gave Democratic majority Of
1000, the Republicans carried the
State. They pollcd at that zine
$50, 900 votes. Malone could get
only 100000, and in 1892 the
Harrison total fell to 113,OOG
At last years election the Republicans
made no nomination. but let the con.
test go by default. They were with
out any representation in the last Vir-
ginin Legislature, which had 119 Dem
ocrats and II Populists members
There will be no election for United
States Senator in Virginia until March,
