commendation to cheer them on for their
mertorious acts, and sent unscrupulous
foreigners abroad with diplomatic authority,
TO the disgrace Of the country.
The administration has deserted the broad
Union ground occupied by the Democracy

up, and that, the American party, the prin-

Poor Gov. Reedhr.

The Chicago Democratic Press touches
up this gentleman in this strain:
We are not surprised that several of our
cotemporaries Of the Nebraska stripe who
formerly denounced Gov. Reedcr, now laud
him for the sentiments avowed in his mes
sage. We now know that from the first he
never intended to take manly stand against
the introduction of slavery into Kansas
Indeed, he has occupied all along very
equivocal position. He seemed to be op-
posed to Atchison and his Clique, but his
course was not sufficiently decided 10 war
rant any one in in assuming that he cared
much which way the contest might be deci-
dcd.
For long time he absented himself from
the Territory, leaving its interests very
much at loose ends; and though during this
time he allowed himself to be represented
as a sort OF martyr to principle, he no soon
/ {. returns than he lraternizes in all essen
tial points with his supposed enemies.
From his speeches at the East, there could
be no other reference than that he believed
the rights OF the people OF Kansas had beer
trampled down by the Missourians, and tha
the election was at least in part illegal; bu
when the Legislative Assembly comes to b.
organized he does not even hint that Their
is anything out Of the way in the creden

Seed Wheat.

To the Editors ofthe louisville Journal
GESrLEMEN: Knowing you to feel deep
y interested in the prosperity Of that nu-
merouS class Of your subscribers to which
belong (the farners) J, | ask permission
through your columns to call their timely
attention 10 a subject interesting % US all
the procuring OF seed wheat suitable for
our climate.
Your cores Spondent i. thoroughly con-
vincel from long experience aud thorough
trial, that, TO raise wheat successfully in
Kentucky, we must sow wheat that will ri
pen between the 10Th and 25th of June--!f
it stands after the 25!h il is ALWAYS EXPOSED
10 rust.
Alter many and repeated trials with seed
from the North, have abandoned all hope
oi succeeding with any variety that has
been accImaled further north than our own
latitude, as it ripens too late; we must lool,
10 the South for a change OF seed, for it is .
fact that the produce OF seed brought from
warmer climate than ours will ripen much
earlier than tina, which is the produce Of
cur own soil
Could not our publc-sp:rited socdmcn
and agrculrura! warehouse men procure
tor Us at least few bushels Of the best
varieties from Tennessee or North Alaba-
ma, yearly, and thereby add greatly TO our
obligations TO them for the introduction Of
valuable seeds and agricultural instruments?
The cutivator of wheat has two enemies
to contend wilh-the fly and the rust. If
he sows early, and the .lall is dry aud warm.
he is sureto have his cropinjured by the fly;
add if he sows too late, he runs great risk
from rust. Hence the Importance of hav-
ing q variety that he can sow in this climate
after the Isl OF October and which will RI
pen by the 2O,h OF June following.
Do any OF my brother farmers wish to
know how TO raise that valu,ble grain (ryel J
successfully? Ii so, let them sow that
which is intended 10 be graZed the last u
August or first Of September and i! to =
bushels per acre, and that which it is IN

October, and from TO II bushels per acre

We make the following extracts from the
Sixteenth Annual Circular:
"The Adelphai College was organized on
small scale, in 1910, but with the fixed
determination Oh the part otits founder, that
no labor or pains should be spared to rem
der it in every respect, worthy OF public
confidence. His efforts thus far have been
crowned with abundant success. The pres
ent standing and prosperity of the Institution
have not been the result Of hot-bed pro-
cess Of electionecring, which may raise a
school into great notoriety one year, and al
low it to sink as deep in neglect and dis
grace the next; but the increase in public
confidence and support has been gradual,
though steady, from year to year, each term
numbering more students than the one pre-
cedlng it, and extending the circle Of patron
age more generally through the State and in
other States.
The aggregate number of studcnls that
have been connected with the Irsti,utioI,
since its organization, is eight hundred and
twenty-three Ofthese four hundred and
fCty-two have been boarding scholars from
this and neighboring States. The remain
ing three hundred and seventy one have
been day scholars from the city and its i'm
mediate vicinity. The average time of at
tendance OF the boarding scholars has been q
little less than one year and ahalf;whi!st some

The Progress Of Indiana.

A correspondent Of the Buffalo CONNER
eial gives the following statistics oflndiana:
This State contains, in round numbers,
four hundred thousand horses, mules and
asses; nearly million of cattle; larger
number of sheep, and three million swine.
1t yields eight million bushels Of wheat an
nually; three-tourths as much barley and
oats; two million bushels Of potatoes, and
forty-seven million bushels of corn. In
1874, the total amount of taxable property
was 81 ,237, ,965; last year it was $780,
4lS,l4s, showing an increase in ten years,
of $l74, 4,l8O,l83.
There are three benevolent institutions in
Indiana for which the fund OF $693 500 has
been paid during the last ten years. She
has a CO nmon school fund OF two and a-hali
millions, and the grand total in the State
Treasury for yearly distribution, is $685.,
824. The amount drawn out by County
Treasurers last year, was $3i4, ,79l.-
Among the annual disbursements are ais,
1922, ,497 for university purposes, and $751;
545 for township libraries. These figure,
may lock small beside those of the sam,
character in our great Empire STATE; bu
| New York had attained to manhood whey
Indiana was born. The latter became
State in 1916. Its present limits were de
fined, and it was erected into seperat
Territory, seven years earlier.

las the following in regard TO matters in
North Eastern Mexico:
Though TO actual fighting has yet occur

ed guard he passed at Las Cuevas, between
Camargo and Reynoso. The latter town is
the first one on the river above Matamoras,
some sixty miles distant There, we pre-
srme. the first battle will be fought, as the
Government troops are said to have fallen
back from Camargo upon Reynoso, on ac-
count Of It's strong natural position, which
they are still further strengthening by for

some SIX hundred regular troops, who are

STARVATION AT THE FIVE PoINTs,N. y.
The ladies of the home Mission in
New York have issued stirring appeal
on behalf Of the destitute poor at the Five
Points in that city. They say:
at is well known to those who are &C.
quainted with that locality that hundreds
of families have sold or pawned the last
article of furniture or apparel 10 procure
food, and are now left on the bare floor,
without bedding or fuel, and not know
ing where they may get the next mouthful
to eat. Persons in these circumstances
(many ofthem sober, industrious people,
are thronging the Mission-hOuse daily,
and from stern necessity many are denied
relief. This state of suffering is increas-
ing daily, and the Starring must be fed.
Ii will not require less than one thousand
loavas OF bread daily to keep the destitute
from suffering with hunger.

Lord Elgin explained, but all TO no pur-
pose, and, before he could find a person
to identify him, he was compelled to has

wheat at Chica go.

We understand, says the Chicago Tri-
bune, that there is large number Of per-
sons buying wheat in this market Tor
Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and
the Eastern States, and that the demand IS
rapidly increasing. 1t is not probable
under such circumstances, that any con-
siderable surplus can accumulate in our
warehouses between this and the opening
of navigation next spring. This opinion
is becoming very prevalent, and gives the
price of wheat an advancing tendency.
