The article which appeared in the Journal.
yesterday, in reference to the unsuitableness of
Tomlinson Hall for concerts, lectures, etc., is
timely. The sooner the deiusion and misleading
impression is dispelled, that the hall is suitable
for anything else than dance hall, the better it
will be for our city. A hall that is 195x92 feet,
and the floor level and twenty-five feet from the
ground, and stage that will not admit of more
than one person passing through the door at an
time, is certainly not suitable for public pur-
poses. Those who had seats at the festival will re-
member theinconvenience they were subjected to
by reason Of being unable to see the stage. The
five essential points necessary in large public
hall are wanting in the Tomlinson Hall. The
interior of the hall looks like barn, and the
terror like a country corner grocery. 1t would
hardly be possible to erect building moro IN
suitable for the purpose. AS an architectural
work. it is beneath criticism; it is simply mon
strosity, and should never have been permitted
to be built in city of culture and refinement.
large amount of the peoples money has been
squandered in a building unsuitable for any pur-
pose and it will remain for all time standing adj
vertisement of the bad taste of the authors The
building has been compared to some of the nota-
BILE buildings in Europe. Ye gods! It is to be
hoped that public criticism will call attention to
these abuses of public trust and it may be the
means of improving the architecture of our city,
especially OF our public buildings. The crit
icism which appeared in the Journal several
months ago has done good in calling attention
to bad architecture in private houses, and 1t is
to be hoped such course will be continued until
we shall be proud of our works of architecture.

The organization Of Western writer's recently

The one thing most needful for the up building
of American literature, not onlyin the West, but
In the East as well, is combined effort for the
taolishlng of an international copyright which
will protect American authors from foreign in

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Literature of the West.


To the Editor OF the indianapolis Jou rnal:
We are undoubtedly at the dawn Of new era
in literature in America. This is evident to any
profusion in the greater number of our weekly
periodicals. And, in striking contrast with the
order few years ago. many OF the books now
published are writteen by men and women out
side of New England, and even west of the
Allegheny mountains And why should this not
be so? The Ohio and. Mississippi valleys are vast
empires of prosperity and growth, affording
facilities for education and culture unsurpassed
in the United States.
Great minds, whose luster has dazzled the
world, have here been developed, of whom we
ingersol Hendricks Prentice and many
others. Some of these have already
become famous in letters. and many
are making rapid strides in their wake.
With affairs in this condition the time is not far
distant when a distinct class of Western authors
will give form and color to the literature of
America. Already Western writer's are included
in guild, organized in the East to urge upon
Congress the passing of an international copy
right law. Thus Western genius is coming TO
the front and being recognized by Eastern RI
walls that cannot dispute its claims.
Boston had been the recognized literary GEN.
ter, even since America boasted literature, I'M
til New York came forward and demanded the
recognition Since then Boston's claim has been
questioned For many years Boston and
Massachusetts claimed the model school
system of the United States, but has gracefully
relinquished that claim to Indiana and to-day
she stands pre-eminent in educational affairs.
May not Boston and Massachusetts do the same
in regard to her literaturel Why may not In
dianapolis be literary center as well as q rail-
road centerl Indiana is rich in material. as are
also the States which cluster all around it.
Our Western periodicals and magazines are
eminent factors in bringing our literary products

There is no reason why the green-pea season
on the farm should be confined to two or
three weeks at furthest. Like that of sweet
corn. it can be prolonged by successive planting.
The only drawback to late grown peas is their
liability to mdew. But this can be guarded
against in part by seeding thinly in the rows
and giving good brushing. so as to keep them
