settlement or THE GREAT PLAINS.

To the Editor qf The Chicago Tr70une:
SIN: Tho nottlement OF What hago been
famiarly known as 'tho Circuit Plains," but
which term is, In reality, misnomer, has. up to
within 1ate period. been considered doubtful,
but is now rapidly becoming un .fais accompli;
aud, for 800 miles west Of tho Missouri River. on
either aldo Of the line Of the Kansas Pacific
Railway, which has its course through Central
Kansas aud Eastorn: Colorado, ,land owns bolt Of
fertile land 40 n,ilos In width tho country Is
comparatively we'll Hottled. The incroaee Of
taxable woalth and national power derived from
tho settlement Of over 5000 900 OF acros OF pas
toral, agricultural, and IMMORAL lands, and tho
value conferred upon Government lands hitherto
lying idlo aud unproductivo, Is naturally mat
ter, OF the greatest importance to uB aa people,
and to tho City Of Chicago, which Is now tho
chief mart Of supplies for that great Western
country.
Ono Of the greatest " liftn that has been
given to the rapid colonization Of that country
Ia the enterprise Of lr. George Grant, Of Lon
don, England, who, it will be remembered some
two months Bnce. purchased from the Kansas
Pacific Railway Company upwards Of 90, 600 acres
.of their lands, In tic vicinity of Fort Hays,
Kansas. Subsequent to making the purchase,
1Ir. Grant proceeded to Canada, whero he made
largo purchases OF bloodod stock Of all kinds
from Mr. Stone. Of Guelph, tho well~known
short-horn breeder, and others. Ho then went
to England, aud advlcea havo boen received from
| him Within the last week, that he will shortly
leayo again for this country, with q large. com
| pany, oomprining tenantry aud experienced Eng
lish and scotol, Iordere und stocli-ralsora. raie
looks like business. Ono Of Mr.. Grants chief
aims will bo to develop tho fact that the socali-
cd Plains" are -eminontly adapted to tho ras,

sheep "rnna" Of Australia have ylslted this
region, and Expressed their opinion tint tt was
immcasurably superior In oYery respect. Tht
grass Of Australia is poor and ooarso, and tue
country Ia liable to aoyoro droughts; while, or
tlo otlior hand. tho short "curleu meaquit," Of
buffalo.grass, Of the Plains, is extremely sucou

productive. A herring six or sever

productive. A herring six or seven
| ounces In weight is provided with about
30 600 ovaria.
After making all reasonable allowances
for the destruction of eggs and the young,
it has been calculated that in three years
single pair of behring's would produce
154 900. Button said that if pair of her.
rings were left to breed and multiply I'M
disturbed for period of twenty years,
they would yield fish bulk equal to the
whole of the globe on which we live.
The cod far surpasses the herring In fe-
cundity. Nothing can compare with the
prolific power of fish in any other species
of animals, except. perhaps, the white
ant, which produces eggs at the rate of
fifty per minute, and goes on laying for a
period of unknown duration. Tie COM
mon domestic bug, against which pOpu-
lar prejudice is SO strongly pronounced,
has great reproductive powers, as it is
said to become a grandmother in twenty
four hours. 1t is nothing, however, to
10, OOO, 900 Of eggs in season, or the little
aphides Of the garden, one Of which pro-
ducea JOG, 0OO, 600 of young.
In the case of one OF our cod that yields
$500, 600 of eggs in a season, Of course,
vast numbers never come to life at all,
either from the want of fructifying power
or from being devoured BY enemies. Then
lated that ninety per cent. Of the young
fsh perish before they are six months old.
We're 1t not for this destruction of life,
fish would so multiply that it would be
impossible for boat to move in the sea.
Fish prey extensively upon each other !;

move is, in q sense, great mass of living

What Civil Oflces United States ON.
Gals can Hold.

The President, In an official order
issued through the State Department, says
the executive order of December IL, relat-
ing to the holding of state and municipal
Offices by federal officers. applies to the
Offices of Alderman and Councllmen, and
ernments, with or without salary or COM
pensatien. On the contrary, positions on
Boards of Education, School Commission
ers, public libraries, religious or eleemO-
synary institutions, Incorporated, estab-
hshed or sustained by state or municipal
authorities, and professorships in colleges
are not REGARDED as Offices within the. con-
temptation of the executive order. Off
GERS of the Federal Government may
therefore engage in such services, pro-
vided the attention required by such en-
plOyment does not interfere with the reg
ular and efficient discharge Of the duties
of their offices under the Federal Govern
ment. The head of the department un-
der whom Federal Office is held will, in
ali cases, be the sole judge whether or
not employment does thus interfere.
The executive order of the 18th of JAN
uary is not considered as prohibiting Fed
eral officers from being officers of militia
i'm States and Territories, and unpaid SER
vice in local or municipal fire departments
is not regarded as an Office within the
ner rSs pb bv Federal oieers provided It
does not interfere with the regular and
efficient discharge of the duties of the
Federal Office. Employment by the day
rs mechanics or labOrers in armories, ar
<enals, navy yards, ETC., does not consti-
tute Office Of any kind, and those thus
are not within the contempla-
ton Of the executive order. Master work.
men and others who hold appointments
from the Government or from any de-
partment, whether for fixed time or at
the pleasure of the appointing power, ale
embraced within the operation of this
order.
