The Growth of the Western states.

The Eastern papers are alarmed lest
the growing importance of the great West
will outstrip the East. not only as po-
Itical factor. but in growth of commercial
interests. The tide of emigration for the
last two decades has been steadily west
ward, and within that time, short as it is.
the territory west of Ohio has rapidly
augmented in. population, while the manu-
features and industries of the West have
long since ranked equal to and in some
branches, largely in excess of the East II
used to be that emigration from the old
world seldom went further than New 7 ork
the emigrants finding employment in
the great metropolis, or seeking agricui-
tural pursuits in the Eastern or middle
states. But now it is reversed. and
though emigration to this country has,
within the last ten years largely increased,
it nearly all finds permanent residence in
the west, either Ia the larger towns and
cities, or as farmers in new states and ter
ritories west of the Mississippi. The New
York Herald concluding an article on the
danger to Eastern business interests and
the loss of political power says:-
at is evident that the sceptre is rapidly
passing from the seaboard states, and even
from the central states between the great
lakes and the Mississippi. The geograph-
ical centre of the Union long since crossed
che Mississippi, and the centre OF poDula-
ton is rapidly approaching it. Under
these circumstances it behooves the citl-
zeus of the Eastern states seriously to
mediate upon the probable consequences
of the impending redistribution of political
power. OF course the national growth in
population and wealth is matter for con-
graduation rather than apprehension, AMI
ie the present national institutions should
prove to be too strait garment for the
young Western giant there is no fear that
the wisdom of the present generation,
trained in the practice of Republican
institutions, will not prove fully equal to
that of their ancestors of 1887, who had
been trained only in the restricted colonial
FORUM"
The Herald sees danger ahead and fears
for the perpetuity of the trade of the
Eastern states, and especially New York
1t does not seem such long while ago,
when,it was considered almost a necessity
TO order stock of foe goods from New
York-it was not thought possible to be
able to secure as good stock elsewhere
indeed, so firmly rooted was this habit of
going East to purchase a heavy bill OF
merchandise, that New York merchants
had a monopoly of the Western trade
Soon Chicago, Cleveland. St. Louis and
other cities began to reach for the centre
of the Western trade, until now, New
York. instead of monopolizing it has to
figure closely to get even a portion of it.
So much for Western enterprise. The
Herald may we'll feel alarmed, for as ii
says, "the sceptre is rapidly passing from
the seaboard states. and that "the geo.
graphical centre of the Union long since
crossed tire Mississippi, and the centre Of
population is rapidly approaching it.

we were between the shores of Sandy

feet. However, large or small, | knew it
would be curiosity 20 my passengers
Nobody on board had noticed it but my
self; so. after had pointed it out to my

The whale continued to spout at inter-

threw his body half out of the water, and
