Nasby,s Confession.

Nasty announces that his conscience
has been quickened to no inconsidera-
BILE purpose. He started for the Dem
ocratic Examining Committee with two
confessions in his pocket, one telling
what he did not do in Louisiana, and
the other telling what he aid do. When
his turn came to be presented to the
examiner, he offered his first document
and was asked; "Wat offs did the yoo-

and said: ave know you, Mr.. Nasty.

wheat yield is also said to be large, that
in the Willamette Valley turning out
forty bushels to the acre. Oregon is
the farmers paradise-the second crop
of wheat from the scattered grain is
nearly as good as the first. For fruit,
there is no better climate. The winters
are so mild that barDs are unnecessary
for stock. In February, the clover is
six inches high, aud indeed the pastur-
age is good all winter.

follows: "The dissipated animal is

its sinful course immensely. Gambri-

from the Otsego, (Kan.) independent
A steam thresher blew up at the
farm of l.. Harmon. one mile west OF
this city, last Monday morning. and
Elijah Wright was instantly killed. AID
Joe Ewers, Riley Davis, and A. Finley
were severely injured. Ewers was en-
gineer, aud was standing with his back
to the front OF the engine, when the
explosion occurred. and was blown
some forty yards. When picked up
there was a hole in his back as large as
an ordinary mans hat, and he was ter
ribly scalded. He lived about two
hours in terrible agony and death to
him was a sweet relief. Wright was
cutting bands on the separator. fifty
feet away, and the 'concussion of the
engine blowing out in front threw the
engine in an opposite direction, and 1t
seemed, as il struck Wright at a single
bound, that he never knew what hurt
him, but he fell down between the sep
arator and stack of wheat with the
engine on top of him, and, TO render
the scene all the more terrible, the
four stacks Of wheat caught fire and
burned to the ground. Two yokes Of

of Wright. the men rushed into the
fire aud thrust pitchforks into the
body and brought il out. 1t was ter
Nble sight to behold. He was burned
toN crisp. The back and top Of his
head was burned off, both legs were
burned off just below the knees, aud
the arms below the elbows. II per-
son had not known who it was, be
would never have recognized him.
Davis and Finley are getting along all
right, and will soon be able to be
around. Ewers and Wright were bur
led Monday afternoon, and a large
crowd attended the funeral. We pre-
sumo it is not definitely known, but the
story now generally believed is that
the engine has been in use some four
or five years, and was therefore worn
out. The separator and four stacks Of
wheat were burned, and the loss is es-
timated to be something rear $1,000.

There cannot be more CHASTITY satire
upon Wall-street than 10 speak Of its
bloated capitalists, when il is q charm
el-house full OF the skeletons Of the
dead corporations, while those that are
left are shrunken to skin aud bones. A
list of its bankruptcies will show that
there is not a spot on earth where the
| financial epidemic has slain such null
| titudes Of bankers, brokers. and specu-
lators. The feeling at the West against
creditors in the East will die out. as
every day shows more clearly that
these suffer most OF al from the finan-
cial crash Of 1879. When debtors fail.
creditors must 60 down with them.
The East suffered most. for the heavi-
est losses were in railroads. In the
main il held the bonds and the stock
which were lost, and the West has the
roads or other improvements. which
are in profitable use by it. The West
will recover from the financial shock
much sooner than the East. Popula-
tion is pouring into the States, giving
value TO its lands and a great increase
to it's productions, The wealth aud
the power of the country have moved
Westward. IL sells more than il buys.
il deals with the markets of the world,
aud il wants the standard of value used
by the commercial world. Imitation
cursed the West, for il made the cost
Of its routes for trade three-fold what
they should have been. The charge for
carrying their products kept them out
Of the markets of Europe.
THE WEST GROWING RICH.
Since the contraction of our curren-
CIV so that it has raised to the value of
coin, the West has grown rich faster
than il ever did before, and more rap
idly than any other part OF the Union.
The vast exports Of our country for the
past few years have been drawn from
the Western ields, and although they
have loaded down every channel OF
commerce, its grain and provisions
have been taken to the seaboard at less
than one-third of the cost which was
taxed upon il when our currency was
cheap transportation, but il has sold
vast amounts which could not only
have gone to Europe Oh the East under
former charges. The West has never
before sold so much, nor paid prices
so low for all that il has bought. Grain
has never been carried from Chicago TO
New York at seven cents per bushel,
aud other thing, at the same rates.
Formerly they paid nearly four times
as much. Initiation now would ruin
the West. The war in Europe Is end
ed. II must compete with the grain Of
the Black Sea and with the fields of
Europe for the markets Of Great Brit
ain. 1t can do this il il holds 10 a
sound currency, ana it will soon con-
troll the wealth OF the country as il now
does its political power. i am satisfied
after looking over the field of politics.
that what at first sight seems TO threat
en- confusion and disorder, in the end
will give us more sound views about
labor, government and finances.
