Growth Of Western Cities.

The Superior wisconsin, Times is much
exercised at the prospect that its rival, Duluth,
at the head Of Lake Superior, will become a
great city at the expense of the trade of New
York. Rather, in consequence of that trade,
neighbor; for whatever contributes to the
extension of the business prosperity of the
metropolis is sure to benefit every new and
enterprising city in the West. New York has
position that commands the foreign trade
with the world, and all efforts to deprive her
of that supremacy by envious sister cities are
idle and will prove abortive. Let the youth
full city of Duluth, and all other new cities in
the West, have chance. Duluth has daily
paper already-rather small, to be sure but
newspapers, like men, generally ''creep before
they walk"
Touching the subject of Western cities and
the rapidity of their growth, we have some
interesting statistics in regard to Kansas City,
Mo. The census returns show that no other
city in the country of population exceeding
twenty thousand has grown as rapidly within
the last decade as Kansas City. In 1860 its
population was 4,72l, and in 1870 it was
80, 2s6, the ratio of increase being 633 per cent
Kansas City owes her prosperity to energy and
enterprise in the management and completion
of railroad connections. Five and one-half
years ago she had not single railroad; now
she has eight prosperous Ones
1t is pie ASSURE for us to chronicle these evil
dences of the unconquerabe enterprise of our
Western people, and no railroad or other per-
sonal interests should be allowed to impede the
march of the West to magnificent future.

The AMERICANS A READING PEOPLE. The
st. Stephen IN. b. Courier, after calling at
tention to the enterprise of the New YORK
HERALD in publishing such extended cable
reports Of the war in Europe, causing lavish
expenditure of money, says the Americans are
indeed ''readng people" So they are. But
they are not only reading people, but an

people, who are always ready to appreciate

in the future. But not less significant
is the advance of the West. Cities,
towns and villages, thronged with indus
trious snd enterprising inhabitants, have
sprung into existence in remote places
where, In 1860, were but boundless for
ests or nnbroken prairies and plains !;
whilst the growth of such cities as st.
Louis and Chicago as matter of wonder
even to the most hopeful and enthusias-
tic. The growth of the States and Ter
ritories Of the West has not been less
wonderful. The increase of the rural
populatiyn follows fast on that of the
cities Towns, developing the rich re-
sources Of the soil and adding to the ag-
gregate wealth of the nation. One of
the meat important features of our pro-
gress--an enterprise which illustrates
fitly the genius and indomitable spirit
and ehefgy of our people--is the Union
Paci6 ) Railroad. which furnishes an un-
profcl path way from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and insures continuance Of the
remarkable growth of the West. To
this Highway will be added others, and
ere another decade passes away the H.
limitable domain beyond the Mississippi
will present network of railways dis
tributing the tide of population and bear
ing off the teeming products of the soil.
Then tn, West will be the seat of en-
pire indeed. 1t will not then be COM
PEELED to submit to oppressive exactions
to enrich Eastern manufacturers, but will
hold the balance of power, and exact
Justice at the hands of the Federal Gov
ernmenl.
The totals of the census show how
foolish have been the spprehensions OF
those who have felt alarmed at the in
fux of foreigners into the country.
The census tables place our native popu-
lation at 80, ,9s9, ,437; foreign population
at s, SGT, ,466. Thus, the native popula
ton is seven to one, and that majority
will increase rather than decrease. Let
US, therefore, renounce all restrictions
upon emigration, all invidious distinctions
against naturalized citizens, and abandon
all systems of social, political and re-
ligious persecution. Emigration gives
US some of our most vigorous sinews-
thousands of our best citizeDs-whose
influence is felt for good in all the de-
partments of the arts, science, commerce,
agriculture and education; to discourage
it is to do the whole country incalculable
injury.
With the facts above before Us, we have
every reason to be satisfied with the pro
gress of the last decade. And, further
more, we may feel we'll assured that oui
destiny is onward; that we will continue
to grow in strength and greatness with {
rspiIlty unknown TO other nations, what
ever Instructions may be placed in ou
path by those who may be called to rule
over US.

Chief Justice Pryor.

On yesterday Governor Leslie ap-
pointed and commissioned Hon. w. s.
Pryor, Circuit Judge, of the 11th Ju-
dicial District, as the successor Of Chief
Justice Robertson. By virtue of the
constitutional provisions which pre-
scribes, "that the judge having the
shortest time to serve shall be styled
the Chief Justice of Kentucky" Judge
Pryor succeeds not only to the unepired
term of Judge Robertson, but also to
his title, and will be the Chief Justice of
Kentucky for one year, when the term
for which Judge Robertson was elected
will expire, and J. udge Hardin will be-
come Chief Justice. Thus is illustrated
the singular effect of constitutional pro-
vision, which was evidently intended to
confer the title of Chief Justice upon
the member of the court who had served
longest, but which being construed lit
orally, in this case as in others hereto
fore, the junior member coming for the
first time to the august bench, becomes
at once the presiding officer of the court
and ranks his seniors in the dignity
which is usually supposed to come from
long service. Happily in this case the
recipient of the honor is recognized as a
worthy successor of the distinguished
and venerable Chief Justice whose man.
tie he has been called upon to assume.
Though but few years past forty, he
early won prominence at the bar of this
district, and nearly ten years ago was
conceded to be well qualified for the
circuit judeeship. Owing to the exis-
tence of military rule in Kentucky at
the August election of 1862, Judge Pty-
or, although selected as the Democratic
candidate with singular unanimity, was
not permitted to run for Office, but was
arrested, held in various military prisons
for nearly a year, and then banished
north of the Ohio during the war.
Ia 1868 be was elected without hav-
ing any opponent, either of his own or
the opposite party. In the three years
in which he has served as circuit judge
in this district he has not only come up
fully to the expectations of his friends,
but be has won the good opinion of all
parties by the ability with which he has
filed the position.-Frankfot Yeoman.

A Model Love Letter-A Breach
OF Promise Case.

Myres vs.. Harris. This was one OF
those rare and peculiar cases-breach OF
promise of marriage-and occupied the
greater part of the forenoon. From the
evidence, it appears that the parties both
live in or near Onondago; that Harris
had been frequent visitor for about
two years and half at the house of the
plaintiff widow woman nearly thirty
years of age, with three children. 1t
seems to have been the opinion of the
friends Of the plaintiff (and no doubt she
thought herself) that Harris would
marry her; but he, (Harris,) from some
unaccouutable cause few months ago,
suddenly discovered that he loved an
other young lady better, and verified this
belief short time since by marrying
that other lady. Hence this action was
brought by the plaintiff to recover DANA
ges to apply as salve to her wounded
affections. The following tender epistle,
sent by the loving swain, will interest
our readers, and we recommend it as q
model love letter:
any DEAR Mas. NJ: Every time
1 think of you, my heart fops up and
down like q churn -dasher. Sensations
of unutterable JOY caper over it like
young goats on a stable roof, and thrill
through it like Spanish needles through
a pair of tow linen trowsers. AS o gos-
ling swimmeth with delight in a mud
Visions Of ecstatic rapture, thicker than
the hairs ola blacking- brush, and bright
er than the hues of a humming birds

borne on their invisible wings, your i'm
age stands before me, and / reach out to
grasp it, like q pointer swapping at
blue bottle fly. When / first beheld
your angelic projections, l was bewilder-
ed, and my brain whirled round like a
bumble-b bee under a glass tumbler. My
eyes stood open like cellar doors in a
country town, and / lifted up my ears to
catch the silvery accents of your voice.
Ny tongue refused to wag, and in silent
alteration drank in the sweet infection
ef love as thirsty man swalloweth

lift myself up by my boot straps to the
top of the church steeple, and pull the
bell-rope for singing school. Day and
night you are in my thoughts. When
Aurora, blushing like bride, rises from
her saffoon- -colored couch; when the jay
bird pipes his tuneful lay in the apple
tree by the spring house; when the chan
ticleer's shrill clarion heraids the coming
morn; whom the awakening pig arises
from his bed and grunteth, and goeth for
his mornings refreshments; when the
drowsy beetle wheels to droning fight at
sultry noontide; and when the lowing
herds come home at milking time, /
think of thee; and like piece of gum
elastic, my heart seems stretched clear
across my bosom. Your hair is like the
mane of sorrel horse powdered with
gold, and the brass pins skewered
through your waterfall fill me with un-
awe. Your forehead is smooth
er than the elbows Of an old coat. Your

ed
Prom the Springfield Republican.


General Butler is said to allege, in ex-
cuse for some of his foulness last week,
that the Republican charged him with
being the son of man who was hanged.
Of course we did no such thing, but We
should have been as forgetful as Butler
himself. if We had omitted 20 state that
there was an opinion that Captain But
ler, of Deer6eld, New Hampshire, was
hanged, and this opinion is still current
among the New Hampshire people. We
do not assume it to be true, but it is
worth mentioning, that Colonel Joseph
Ciiley, soldier of 1912, q Senator in
Congress in 1916, and cousin of the
Buffers, told an acquaintance ten or
twelve years since, that Captain Butler
was generally thought to have been
hanged for piracy in the West Indies.
1t is we'll known that for several years
the Gulf of Mexico and the waters Of
Cuba we're infested with pirates, some OF
whom were Americans, and who were
not broken up till Commodore Porter's
expedition in 1913. Il is among these
buccaneers that tradition puts General
Buffers father; but upon what evidence
the tradition rests we have never heard,
aud do not regard the matter as OF much
importance. Inasmuch, however, as
Butler expects to be chosen Governor on
the strength Of having changed q rebef'
it may be as we'll for him to show that
there we're no hangings in his own fami-
ly in the first half of the century.

The Lesson of the Last Census.

From the Nashville Banner.
The increase of the population of the
United States, during the last decade,
has been very great, although the census
returns do not come up to what might
have been expected. This is owing to
the fact that the stream of emigration
was narrowed whilst the civil war, which
will render the years of its inception and
progress ever memorable in the history
of the republic, demanded its vast multi
tudes of victims, and that since the clash
of arms ceased, unwise legislation has
placed clogs upon the wheels OF progress,
checked the current of national prosperi-
ty and fettered individaui enterprise.
We have realized some of the evils OF
oppressive taxation which have for GEN.
turies been blight and mildew upon the
great masses of the people in the old
world, and which have driven SO many to
seek relief under the @gis of our govern
ment But, as the census returns show,
we are growing people, and, in defiance
of oppressive laws and maladministraton
of public affairs. we take no step back
ward. The nation is young and yigor'
Gus, and we may confidently expect that
it will not be many years before the bur-
dens under which it staggers will be
greatly iightened if not entirely removed.
The general total of the census OF
1870 discloses the encouraging fact that,
Notwithstanding all impediments to pro-
gress, the population of the nation falls
little short of 1000, 600 of souls. This
is an increase since 1860 of 7.112,662 !;
an immense growth, significant as show
ing by the past what our possibilities are
