bouts within the next twenty years: They say that
they will have it, not to give Importance to any par
tcular city or locality, but emblem that the
seat of empire is in the Mississippi Valley. The cap
tal they hold will to them naturally and nev-
tably in the of few years. The East is not
growing; the West is gaining power in Congress year
y through the formation of new States and Con-
gressiona districts When all these vast praries of
the richest land filled up with the population they
capable of supporting the wealth and population
will be preponderan here that the seat of Govern
ment will necessarily gravtae to the point where it
will be in harmony with and exponent of the ma
tional heart This is the Western idea, and it is
worth our while in Washington to prepare to meet it
by making our city so cosy and agreeable as place
of residence and resort that members will be unwil-
ling to leave 1t to seek quarters of doubtful healthful
ness ON the banks of the muddy Mississippi.
