THE PEACH CROP.

We ala not place much confidence in
the reports that we're 50 generally circu-
lated during TIE first and second weeks
Of JuEe that TIE peach crop vas ruined
Indeed. We took occasion to say that
hile the rains that prevailed at tha,
time might DO some harm % zae peaches
might cause an Increase o. what Is
known as the brown rot-there was very
Ittle danger Of running the crop. x turns
cut Just IS ne expected There VIII Be
as many peaches Shipped from the state
this year as n any previous year. IN all
prObab lihy. Il g true that the yield n
the Oh orchards Biil not Be 50 large. but
the fact that there are many thousands
81 young trees must be taken into consld-
Grafton. And the reason Of the falling Of
in the yield OF the older trees is rot due
er conditions which prevailed earlier in
the season.
There wiI not only be large crop, but
the Indications are that the peaches VIII
be finer than If the trees carried a heay-
Ter burden When the trees are OverOur-
DNAr4 tAeE EdlA4DL DAAtS - Pc ANlLASa4 a
very large percentage Of the fruit upon
them Consequently the greater part Of
the fruit is small and not fully matured
This will not be the case this year.
Not only will the crop be fully Up to
the average, but the peaches will be bet
ter than for number Of years; and it IS
a safe prediction that the prices which
the growers viii receive will be very sat
isfactory. The thought is being thrown
out by enc of the largest Of the Fort Val
icy growers that the reports OF a very
short crop will have tendency TO keep
GOWN prices, for the reason that those
who have been accustomed 10 psddle
peaches through the streets Of the cities
during the season will turn their atten-
ton to some other occupation, believing
that there will be but few peaches to dis
tribute
It f. doubtful II there is much in this
view. The peach peddlers are quick to
understand the actual situation. Before
the peaches begin 10 come to market in
quantities they will be on hand to assist
in distributing them The season is going
to be good one for the owners Of peach
orchards.

NORMAN MISSIONARIES SUCCESS


The success Of Mormon missionaries In
converting two women-one a young girl
and the other widow-residents Of the
upper part OF New York City, TO the
Mormon faith has had the effect OF stir
ring up a good deal OF feeling In that city
against Mormonism and missionaries OF
che Mormon Church. Mormon mission
aries have been at work In and about
New York City. for more than year. and
have made a good many converts. 1t is
said that they have congrega ton of sew
eral hundred people at Williamsburg.
These converts are chiefly factory peo-
pie, and most OF them are without much
education. 1t IS not thought to be sur
prising therefore that Mormon mission
aries were successful In making converts
among them.
But the two women in the upper part
OF the city of New York belong to a diff
ferent class. They are well educated and
have ample means for their support. Be-
fore beooming allied with the Mormons
they we're very active In Christian church
work. 1t IL therefore regarded as strange
that they should attach themselves to the
Mormon Church.
1t seems that they had some trouble
with the pastor OF their church, which
was one OF the Congregational Churches
OF Harlem. and he told them that they
did not act like Christians. This remark
offended chem. and they were induced
by a Mormon elder. who was a boarder
at the house where one OF them was stay
ing, 10 attend his meetings. They ac-
cepted his invitation and became con-
verted TO Mormonism.
1t does seem a little strange that while
Christian Churches are sending mission
aries to China and other countries whose
Inhabitants are regarded as heathens,
Mormon missionaries should make con-
verts within the shadow OF the finest
Christian Churches. Their success is due
wholly 10 their zeal The Mormon Church
sends out young men. as q rule. as mis-
sionaries. and they are ready to give up
their lives for their religion.
II such spurious doctrines as those Of
Mormonism can make headway in any
tian Churches TO take more energetic
measures to warn the people OF their dan
ger. The success OF Christian Science,
however, proves beyond question OF a
doubt that there are people all over this
country. and perhaps OF every other
Christian country. who are ready to en-
brace any new religion that is presented
10 them.
II was thought that Mormonisn would
die out when polygamy was prohibited.
II presents no sign OF decay. however
Indeed, II seems 20 he more vigorous than
ever. Doubtless the Mormons hope the
time will come when they will be strong
enough 10 practice polygamy in this coun-
try again. That they have given up
polygamy finally ana forever there are
many reasons for doubling

Mr.. pEpEw AND A THIRD TERN.

Judging from Mr. Depew's letter to
Gen. Grovesnor OF Ohio. in which he
chldes him for SO quickly abandoning the
position he took on the third term ques-
ton, he doesn't like to be considered the
only third term man in the United States
that Is, the only third term man of
prominence. He seems to be apprehen-
sive that he will become known as sena-
tor Third Term Depew.
There is not a great deal in his letter
to Gen Grosvenor that is likely to call
forth comment. The chief point he
makes Is that from "the acquisition of
Louisiana by jefferson against his
opinion OF its constltutlonality and on his
Judgment that the necessity OF the terri
tory to the safety OF the republic made
different Interpretation patriotic, down to
the cession OF Porto Rico and the Philip
pines by the treaty OF Paris and their
government by the President and Con-
gress, we have done what the majority
thought the Constitution meant ana the
Supreme Court has just sustained that
view"
Hence he argues that there is nothing
in the Constitution and no tradition
against n third term. Therefore the time
will come when the majority will favor
giving some man a third term. Then II
will be found that the third term doctrine
is all right. But Mr.. Depew should take
notice that the time for a third term has
not yet come. and there is no probability
that he will have the distinction OF lead
ing the country to abandon It's position
against it.
