A Newsy Letter From the Nation’s

THE STATE OF UTAH.
The Territory of I'tah has at last
heen admitted to the sisterhood of
States.
This art of Congress. approvt*il hy
tlie sicnattire of the president, calls
to mind the hrief history of .Mormon-
ism in its rise and struj'j'lt.jt, modili-
cations, failures and successes. Its
adherents in their continuous strug-
”les acainst earncsi protestsand op
position on every hand were driven
from "pillow to post until at last
they <nu_dd what they thought was
to he a ipiiet retreat in the secluded
valley between the Kocky and Sierra
Ne\ada ranges of the West. Here
they endeavored to establish a Re
public independent of the I nited
State- The issue was hardly raised
before it was settled by armed troops
beine sent within her borders.
Submit 1 in*' to the inevitable, the
Mormons went to work on the lines
of internal improvements (which are
always safe lines of iahor). and by
thrift, economy and a wise foresight
change the face of nature in making
the wildcruc-s to blossom. I’erhaps

There was less rain than during
the week previous although showers
were numerous and in some instances
heavy, and well distributed over the
ent ire State. It should he borne in
mind tluit the rainfall has not been
exeessive over the entire State, there
being many loealities in the central
and western enmities that have not
had tlie normal July rainfall and t<>
sueh loealities the adverse ajmrts
due to too nuieli rain do not apply.
These loealities are numerous hut of
too limited areas to specify each by
itself; I heir aggregate extent is, how
ever. large, and in these places all
crops are in a most encouraging and
promising condition. In fact, the
crops are good over the entire State
with the exception of cot ton, and
possibly peas.
Cotton on sandy soil has turned,

the plant is growing too mtu-h to
