CROP PROSPECTS.
Condition of All the Wheat-Growing Sec
tions Except California.

New YORK, April 22.-The Tribune to-day
publishes lengthy article on the condition
of all the wheas-growing sections of the
United States except California. 'These re-
ports" says the Tribune "are not merely
estimates made at a single point of observa-
ton In each State or Territory, but are COM
prehensive reviews, based on exact and spe-
ciic reports from the various counties or
towns. They thus afford the most complete
survey of the wheat country which has been
published anywhere this year. Great care
has been taken to have the reports not only
comprehensive but entirely accurate. They
contain the observations and estimates, not
of grain-dealers and spectators, but of dis
interested investigators, who have sought
only to give the facts without color of any
klnd. These reports show that the outlook
is good for an average crop of wheat this
year. The reports of the damage from tho
severe cold prove to have been unfounded in
nearly all cases. From Minnesota, Nebraska,
Indiana, Illipois, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri,
Iowa, and Dakota, the reports are all favor
able for fair average crop, and in some cases
Tor an increase over that of last year. There
VIII be slight falling-of the product of
Minnesota. The falling off in that State,
however, will be more than counterbalanced
by the increased acreage in the newer wheat
growing sections like Dakota, which will
almost double its acreage, and possibly
double its yield. Some of the comparatively
older States are also increasing their &C Seage.
Wisconsin will increase hers no less than 20
per cent, Missouri from 10 to Is per cent,
Kentucky 10 per cent, ard SO on, the great
est falling off will be in Ohio. But even
Ohio prospects have frightened visibly
during the last week or more, and it is be-
lieved that the yield will not be more than a
third smaller than that of last year. The Trb-
une says in its summary: 1.-The prospect
to-day is good for an average yield. 1t may
not be as great as that of last year, but that,
with the exception of the tremendous yield
in 1880, was the largest the country has ever
produced. Both winter and spring wheat
crops will have favorable start, and it is
not surprising, in view of this encouraging
fact, to see the prophets of short crop re-
vising their estimates. A month ago they
were sure the crop would fall below an aver
age yield anywhere from 10 to 30 per cent.
Now they admit that the shortage will not
exceed 15 per cent, and may fall as low as
per cent. Conservative judges, who have all
along claimed fair crop to be the most
probable outcome, are strengthened in their
view and are inclined to claim a slight ad.
vance over an average yield. Judging from
present data their estimate seems entirely
reasonable. This estimate includes the Cali
fornia crop, which is now generally conceded
to be in good condition, and to promise an
average yield in all save few limited acres

JOHN YOUNG BROWN, Kentucky's greatest ora
tor, is a valiant man, man tho can't be walked
over with impunity The impulses of his elO-
quent spirit are too noble to quietly submit to
any indignity. Only the other day, at Hender.
son, his proud spirit burst forth with unre-
strained fury and as o simeon OF wrath he
swept over his plebeIan adversary. 1t appears
that the person who had been in the habit OF
fnrnishinG The yiands that graood tho gteat
statesman's table had failed TO please him as TO
quality The honorable Brown thereupon
deigned to enter the laboratory of this man and
to inform him, as only Brown could,
tnat If he didn't furnish better meat,
he need not furnish meat at all.
1t so happened that the stock on hand was ex-
actly like that sent to the Brown mansion on the
day before, so Mr.. Butcher concluded to send
none. This ruffled Brown very much indeed,
and be paid a second visit to the butcher, and
demanded bill OF particulars. 1t was given as
above. This SO enraged him that he took
steak from the counter and hurled it at the
offending butcher, but luckily missed him. He
then followed this up by drawing revolver and
firing three shoots, all of which went wide of the
mark, though but the width OF a counter inter-
vened. Meanwhile the meat vendor was not
idle, but, picking up scale weight, he
fired away at Brown and hit him on the left side
of the head. Friends of both parties then inter
fered, and the deadly conflict ceased. An ac-
count says: "Of course, as soon as Mr.. Browns
attention called to the act he was commit
ting, he regretted it." 1t is little curious that
his attention had be called to the fact that he
had been peppering away with a revolver at
man, but it is reassuring to know that he regret
ted something. Perhaps if he had confined him
self to hurling steaks, the butcher would eventu-
ally have been hoist with his own petard. Some
law should be framed by which enraged states
men may be prevented from knocking down
butchers with steaks or bits of liver. 1t doesn't
make much difference with regard to revovers
