few accounts from the growing wheat crop,
but from what We have seen We are led to b.
ieve thst the crop this year will be larger than
any previous year. In III sections Of the State
the crop looks remarkably fine, and gives
promise Of an abundant yield. The Glasgow
Ffee Ptess says thst the crop IL Barren county
in Wayne, Clinton and Cumberland counties,

There is nothing in the fact that good
! houses will be In demand this spring that
| should deter landlords from seeking to retain
good tenants By attention to those little details
every housckeeperprizes, but which to very
extensive degree the tenant world in Chicago
| have always lacEed- Probably in no city in the
United States have tenements Of the lower tt,
| medium grades for season after season mai.l-
taincd standard 80 wretched. Leaky roofs,
shaky floors, ricketfy doors, shabby windows,
cheap and dilapidated paper, miserable out
buildings, no wa:sr within doors (except
through the roof, no gas-tnese all have been
the rule rather than the exception in our Chi
cago tenements Of the range Of rents between
one hundred and two hundred and fly dol
lars. We fear the good time coming for ten
ants is not yet, but the symptoms certainly
seem to look that way. Landlords begin to
prize good tenants, and tenants arc finding eli
improved intelligence and iberality in The
consideration Of Their Claims for comfort and
deCency in the appointments Of home even if
it be In ! hired house,
There is, however, q still large margin Of dn-
ference between Chicago and other cities in
this respect, to decrease of course every year
as ourB becomes more nearly like those Of
older sections. Who is the Chicago capitalist,
or the capitalist who, in Chicago, SHALL inaugu-
rate plan and realization Of cheap, lealthfn1,
airy and wellappoIa:fd ID homes for the hum
bier classes.

ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GosE,-We regret

engaged in tile mercantile business. He sefy-
ed IS Alderman Of our city and also in other
Offices Of trust. He was always considered ell
upright and honorable man mud was much es-
teemed md respected. Mr. Bolles removed
from this city o~Philadelpl.ia short lime
since, and was engaged with others in an asso-
ciatiye manufacturing establishment in that
place. He leaves wife and daughter, well
known and highly esteemed in this city, to
