1t is time to reverse the advice which Horace
Greeley made famous by the phrase, go West,
young man." and which the newspaper he left be-
hind him continues to urge upon people Of discon-
tented disposition. The advice il no longer sound,
unless limited and modified. The heterogeneous and
aimless food Of emigration to tho West, simply be-
cause IL is western in direction, and including people
who are doing well enough where they are, has en-
tailed much individual suffering. Experience has
proved that agricultural pursuits cannot be prota-
bly,, or even safely undertaken anywhere west Of
the ninety ynnth degree of longitude in any Of the
vast territory south of Dakota. The drought and
the grrsshoppers the plaques of that region.
Even irrigation, expensive il is under all crcun-
stances, has been found impracticabe. for want Of
water outside the immediate valleys of the Platte
and Arkansas rivers. None Of the other streams
drain from the SHOWS of the Rocky Mountains, but
dry just when their waters needed for irrga
tion. Thousands of families that moved beyond the
line of 99 striving to homes further east
and find them more costly now than when they
abandoned them. The State of Illinois lost in its
agricultural population So 200 families during the
last decade, when il should have gained rs many.
There but 5000 900 people in this State includ-
ing all the cities and towns which will support twice
that population comfortably and without the least
crowding. The people who are located anywhere in
the States Of Ohio Indiana, Minnesota and the east
half of Kansas and Nebraska, upon terms that are
not absolutely oppressive, will do better to remain
than to risk ills they know not Of in remote territory
of uncertain yield.-Chioayo Tribune.

The editor of Washington newspaper which, un
der all its recent changes of management, has bee
the consistent Apologist for official rascality and
public plundcr, seems to have taken Brady's last
sub-contract in the shape of an rrecment to the
weapons Of the black guard against all who dare tC
question his employers honesty. IL this service il
paid for in proportion TO It's eopiousness ought tO
make serious inroads even the reputed wealth Of
Gen. Brady; if it is valued by its effect Brady,
character, is he who ought TO be recompensed, no,
his employee.
While the abuse of u newspaper once controlled
by Murtash, and now owned by Brady, and edited by
Gorhan, would seem to be of very little Importance
TO anybody the fact that the Republicans Senator
have selected its editor for the highest office within
their gift gives its opinions prominence which they
certainly do not deserve Gorham has, through the
Senate struggle over organization, become sort OF
personal issue in Republican politics. and the fore
most representatives Of the party have assumed q
certain responsibility for his character And yet
day after day, the publishes in the newspaper
which he directs the most scurrilous inuendoes in
regard to the President of the United States, and
the most vanton abuse of all who are helping the
President to discover the amount Of the steal which
by the eonnvance Of Gen. Brady, has been perpetrz
ted on the Government of the United States. One
day the inquiry into the Star Route contracts ID
called an 'infamous vitriol throwing enterprise,
and il is zsked whether the President Postmaster
General deserves the credit for it, On another the
Administration is charged with being under the in
huenee of 1iden, of supplying the polecats Of the
press )" with a festival and much more to the same
purpose Would it not be well to have it understood
that the Republican Senators of the United States
cannot afford to be responsible for unscrupulou,

A few weeks since, note was made Of the organ
ization of another of these innumerable mining COM
panies. The particular one alluded to- boasted for
its President the Governor of Kansas, with capital
stock of millions We have forgotten the amount,
but no matter. We suggested, however, the proba-
overburdencd with wealth. Some of Gov St. Johns
editors flew all TO sticks the squib, deyoting
much space to the defense of the Governors honor,
and in condemnation of our obliluity.
Well, our item, in the first place, was given ss .

been gratutOus. but dout believe it. 1t was hon.

the location, the more eItravagant the promise and
brag. Thousands upon thousands of honest, hard
earned dollars going ont of Kansas in the way Of
assessments to develop humbug enterprises in the
mining regions of Colorado and Mexico, from which
no returns. save disappointment, can ever come.
These sycophantic defenders of Gov. st. Johns fair
fame, honesty and integrity would accomplish more
by trying their blattering some one who has had

We didn't say il before but say it now, that any
who ventures his or her honest dollars with any
mining company, organized in Kansas or elsewhere,
with Gov. st. John Governor any one else Mt its
head is taking the widest possible chances to which
would prefer the fOrlorn expedient Of beating the
string game or three-card monte. The investment
of money in the stocks of thoroughly developed

SfRle Making.

This question is an important one In more
than q political The restrictions put upon
Ststemaking during antibellum days, no longer

the progress of the Territories The day has passed,
never to return when n Western Territory remains
for many years upon the outer verge of civilized

equal to the States and their citizens not aliens
nor paupers They are integral commonwealth,
fully endowed with all the gigantic material inter
ests of old States. Dakota has within her borders
nearly 600 miles Of completed railroad. Her min
ing interests immense; also her agricultural.
The same is true Of Utah, Washington, Montana,
etc. The question of population is not, or should
not be regarded vital the protection of all the
interests of that populaton-as fsaerfeing people,
deserving the best which nation do for them.
Compare the importance of sueh States as Florida,
Delaware, Rhode Island, ETC., with the growing
wealth and power of remaining Territories Tho
practice of requiring Territory to have given
population, constantly increasing with each census,
is unjust. There Is no gocd reason why Territory
should not be admitted to the Union, today with o
like number of inhabitants Illinois and Ohio. The
reasons why Territories should be made States
more pressing than when Illinois admitted. IL
is necessary that the poor settlers Of the Terrific

the States already in the Union They will never be
poorer and less able to support schools than now.
Under the present system. = Territory must become
