Progressive Associated Press Movement
in the Further West.
The Lawrence (Kansas) Tribune Of the
10th instant contains an interesting account
of meeting of the Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska Press Association. These
States are among those in what Is called the
''further West" after leaving Illinois. Still
they are not what are called the States Of the
''far West" which comprise the region bor-
dered only by the Pacific coast. The States
above named contained In 1860 q population
of about two millions. To-day they number
at least five or six millions, perhaps more
At the meeting referred to there were news
paper men present from o large number Of
papers, representing, as 1t was stated, "a
scope of country and people of more import
ance In extent and growing wealth and influ-
ence than any similar portion Of the country"
This Is q remarkable movement and exhibits
tho wonderful progress Of the press In this
country within the last fourteen or fifteen
years, The further West is becoming the
''young giant" Of Western progress, while
the more Eastern States OF the Western Sec
ton of the country-such as Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois-are becoming almost AZ old
fogyish as the States of New England. We
wish success to this Independent press organ
ization in the four 1ourishing Western States

portraits by Huntington, the President OF the Acade-

liberality, almost the monopoly OF the places OF

All the signs of the times indicate that
sweeping revolution must come ut no distant

barricades or at the point Of the bayonet for
that is unnecessary here, where the people
have the power to accomplish II through their
votes, but revolution, nevertheless, as thor
ough and complete, through the ballot box.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, and the
American people have been vainly hoping for
o change In the administration Of the govern
ment, which has become In every department
Che most corrupt and extravagant one on the
face Of the earth. They were patient during
the war, though II was well known the cor
rupt rings and shoddy contractors were then
robbing the government Of hundreds Of mil
lions a year, because the greater question Of
putting down the rebellion and preserving the
Union at any cost overwhelmed all other ques-
lions. Then, again, during Mr.. Johnson's
administration they still bore patiently the
,frightful extravaganza, corruption and mis-
management In the government, for they said
