UnaduIterated Greatness.

Livingston (Mont.) Enterprise.
A late exchange contains a compile list of
those who will compose the excursion party
to view the formal com letion of the North
ern Pacific. 1t is the most remarkable aggre-
grafton of unauthorized greatness that we
have ever seen-greatness dependent upon
intellect, wealth or title. The American di-
vision comprises two members of the cabinet
Teller and Brewster-fve resident minis
tiers of foreign courts, United States senators
in large numbers, members of Congress al
most incompatible, generals ad libitum, a
sprinkling of Governors and ex-Governors,
mayors of all the great cities, a
fair showing of eminent journalists,
railroad owners and officers from the ends of
the earth, national and State officials of high
degree presidents of boards of trade and
enough moneyed private citizens to balance
the list California, Oregon and Washington
Territory have been frequently remembered
in the selection, bnt Maginnis and Crosby
Will go it alone" for Montana. The party
of over thirty German guests is made up of
celebrities, none of whom seem to occupy a
lower position in the scale of greatness than
that of privy councillor, except it be the
artist and newspaper correspondents, who
are probably intended for use rather than
ornament. On the English list earls, lords,
honorabes, lord chief-justices, members of
Parliament, professors and merchant kings
vie with each other for first place.

Lounrine in Circle Park.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
Some one signing himself Ky" in your
paper of Saturday. objects to your article
about the use of the Circle park. Now l
want to object to both of your objections.
You both say there should be no lounging
permitted on the seats or on the grass in the
park. You say ''drunks should no longer be
allowed to use the grass plot as couches upon
which to sleep off the effects of their deep
rotations" That sounds very nice, but
L want to ask if it is fair to shut
out the poor fellow who has taken
little too much ale or beer and has become
too drowsy to keep awake, and compel him
to take his nap on some stone doorstep or in
a filthy alley The beer drowsy man is a
quiet, unoffending creature who has helped
the saloon-keeper to pay the license that we
are so glad to have in our city treasury. The
saloon-keepers, it is said, do more than any
other class to fill up the treasury and reduce
our taxes" and if they do it, it is because of
the patronage of these sleepy fellows who
lounge sometimes in the park. The saloon
keeper is not allowed to harbor
go, if not upon some of the city's
property? He does not always have home
to go to, and it would not be safe, perhaps,
for him to go there if he had one l reason
this way: The drunken man has helped the
saloon-keeper to pay his big license fee, to
support the eitys expenses; therefore the
city ought to be good to him and make a
com Portable place for him in the park while
in his unfortunate condition of temporary
stupor; and some would say that the city
ought to provide some other conveniences
for his comfort.
Another consideration is that it
would be good training for some
about to stroll in there occasionally
and make an arrest, when they found fellow
TOO sleepy to make much resistance. 1t
would sort O. get their hands in, and encour-
age them to tackle a young housebreaker,
perhaps after while, so that you would not
have to publish always, after your notices of
burgiaries, the unpleaant comment, mo
arrests" JONES

How Much wheat-seed Per Acre.

American Agrlculturist for September.
Where wheat is not at all crowded, in
rich, mellow soil, and the tillering is not i'm
peded, the average number of stems for each
plant is about sixteen. Each one produces
a head or ear, con tanning on an average, UNI
der reasonably favorable conditions, fifty
grains. Thus one grain yields eight hun
bred grains. At this rate, the man who
sows two bushels to the acre would harvest
sixteen hundred bushels per acre, or else
much of the seed is lost. The average WELD
OF the country, however, is less than fifteen
bushels per acre. A bushel of wheat con-
tains, ordinarily, 1850 900 grains; two bushels,
100000 grains. An acre of land contains
slightly above 100000 square inches So
| that each plant has four square inches from
which to derive sustenance. Measure thai
on the ground and see how small it is. Can
you expect the plant to make vigorous
growth on four square inches? Can you
expect it to tiller and produce sixteen
stems? Can you expect it to mature sixteen
full heads? The result of this crowding is
plain. The plants cannot gain nutriment
when growing so densely. Some must die
| that the others may live. The strong
triumph and the weak succumb. This strug-
gle for life begins as soon as the plants APP
pear above ground. As the plants grow
larger. they require more room, and others
must give way, and very few, if any, attain
a full growth. All are cramped and starved.
Tillering is impeded; many plants do not TIL
Ter at all. and those that do, tiller inner
fectly. The same is true of caring. Full
ears, can not be expected. An acre OF wheat
| contains about eight hundred thousand
heads. 1t is safe to say that, on account of
tillering, these are produced by three hun
dred thousand plants. Consequently, only
one-ffth of the grains sown produce mature
plants; these plants produce less than one
| fifth of the proper number of stems by til
| lering, and these produce imperfect heads
This is almost entirely caused by crowdng.
Two quarts of seed sown on an acre have
produced fifty bushels of wheat. Where all
the conditions are favorable, the American
farmer should not SOW more than half a
bushel per acre. But agricultural reforms
are never sweeping; therefore let the wheat
grower try one bushel per acre.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Mr.. Herbert and the Earl of Kenmore.
To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
In to-day's Journal you copy article on
the reported betrothal OF Mr.. Herbert, of
Muckross, Ireland, to an American heiress
To many Americans the thought will arise
that Mr.. Herbert is so we'll pleased with the
toll he has exacted for yeats of travellers
through every gate and gap OF his estate-he
has concluded to take a wholesale grade
and perhaps cease his annoying retail pick
ings. Fortunately he does not own all the
lakes of Killarney as stated in the article
named. That truly noble and liberal man,
the Earl of Kenmore, possesses a beautiful
estate, including large portion, if not all
of Tough Leane," in which is the classic
isle Innisfallen. All gates of his are free to
travellers who are simply requested not to
pluck the leaves and flowers. Long live
Kenmore. +.
