The East and West.

THE question OF the rivalry of the East
| and West, said gentleman recently to the
| Nashingt on correspondent al the Cleveland
| Leader, grows more important every year.
| The Atlantic seacoast with New York az il
head centre becomes more and more antag-
| onist to the interests of the West, and il IN
only n question Of time when there will be u
great party of the East opposed to one of
| the West and South. The elements for such
parties are forming, and il seems { o me when
| they crystalline that the reign of New York
will he for the time over, and that the great
West will rule. Mhe West has now the ma
lor part al the voting population of the
United States and it il in the infancy of it's
growth, while the East is far advanced"
Might such a state Of affairs lead to the
moving of the national capital to the West
or center of the country"
mo. Washington City will continue to
he the capital of the United states as long
as the union lasts. The railroad and tele-
graph have made all parts of the country
| near to each other, and there is not the rea-
son for central capital as in the past If
you will look over the world you will find
that the great capitals are seldom in the
center of the populations over which they
govern. London IL in a cOrnOr of Great
Britain, Paris is in the north of France, Pc
kin is in the east of China Berlin i'm the north
of the German empire ana st. Petersburg il
away off on one side of Russia Then there
is too much money invested in Washington
both by politicians and the people, to ever
allow a change ofthe capital. The senator
and representatives now own private prop
erty in Washington running high into the
millions, and there will always be large in
dividual interests owned by men who con-
troll such movements. The government
buildings are worth at least 500 900 OCO
and the parks are worth many millions
more. Then there are the historical associ-
atoms Of nearly a hundred years of our
government. No, don't think the capital
can ever be moved, and / don't think it
should be-"

Reading a Dime Novel.

A chap of boot-black who had made
his stake for the day sat down in the
shade on the Postoffice steps the other
day and pulled dime novel from his
pocket with a grin of satisfaction. 1t was
novel about a terrible Western desper.
ado. who was pictured on the cover
with his hands full of revolvers and his
mouth filled with bowie-knives. The
boy was thrilled by the sight of the
wood cut and he made haste to begin
his reading. He read only half page,
holding the book in his left hand, when
he suddenly elenched his right fist. The
medicine was beginning to work.
He read to the bottom of the page
and look of exultation crept over his
face. The hero had probably killed a
couple of men and barricaded himself
i'm n saloon.
During the reading of the next page
the boy passed from perfect satisfaction
to the deepest anxiety, and he couldn't
keep his feet still. The was being hero
surrounded by the tOwnspeople, who
meant to send up the mercury for him.
Page third was so exciting that the
boy began to breathe hard and grow
pale and chew on his quid of gum for
all that he was worth. The hero was
probably loading up his weapon, filling
up with benzine, and getting ready to
perish or die.
rage fourth was q screamer. The
boy got up and sat down three different
times, and half way down the page he
swallowed his quid slick and clean. At
the end of the page it was painfully
evident that his collar-band choked
him, for his neck was growing very
red.
Page five related how the hero shot
down four or five men and made dash
out OF the town, firing over his Shout
ders as he ran. The boy slapped his
leg and grinned as if he had found
dollar.
Being afraid that the hero would sinh
MS toe and be overtaken, the bow skip
pea the next seven or eight pages and
caught the hero at bay in the presence
OF dozen Indians. His ewes began IN
bulge out and the sweat to appear. and
II was evident that he expected the fur
TO fly.
The next page was full of bullets and
warwhoops. The boy held up his right
arm as if sighting a revolver, dodged
three arrows and a tomahawk, and
was Just painting for breath when the
indians, or AS many of them as were
left alive, kindly consented to with
draw and 60 off after some other sort
of mutton.
Again the boy turned over half a
dozen leaves, and as he settled down
again he gave start of surprise. The
hero had just leaped off 2OO-foot prec-
ipice and landed safely on his cheek.
Then came look of proud satifaction
as the desperate knitted a couble of
grizzlies and kicked panther into in
sensibilitv.
The next page was a corker. 1t was
made up of avalanches. cyclones, rattle.
snakes. mountain lions, redskins, road
agents. Danites and chain-lightninp.
and after suppressing three yeils, four
groans. and seven shivers of horror.
the boy sprang up. pocketed the novel,
ana muttered to himself as he wiped
his damp brow on his elbow:

He Was 'Scused.

Down in the woods OF the Chickamauga
battle fields rabbits skurry from one brush
heap to another, and the squirrels chatter
as they look from their perches at men wa n
dering from point To point in the openings.
We were skirting Snodgrass Hill when we
heard a gun go off, followed by a series of
wells and whoops. Pushing into the woods
few rods we came upon an old darkey seat
ed upon a log with one pant-leg rolled up.
There were Tour or five tiny streams of blood
running down, and it was plain enough that
some scattering shot had struck him.
As we watched him a colored boy about
16 years old came out of the brush with a
light shot gun in his hands, and the old man
looked up and said:

He had been cutting green limb as he
talked, and when he finished he took the
boy by the collar and played the bud to
him until the young man jumped two feet
high and sung out like a Salvation Army

prevent further punishment, and the old
man held the boy off and asked:

THEY NEVER SPEAK.
How the Soldiers Regard the
Horn Il overs.

| Since the 4th of July, the Rene
Guard band and the soldiers of the
Reno military company never
speak. The cause of the coolaess
arises from the fact that the band had
a row with the company, or the com
pany had row with the band, it's
hard to find out which, and the
band were informed by the com
pany that it could not go to Carson
on the Fourth. Well, the band
went to Carson, and when it got
off the cars it marched up the
street playing, But We Got There
Just the Same"
This incensed the Reno military
men, and they vote the band col
lection of boorlsh horn blowers.
But this reminds US Of a story
illustrating the contempt of the
military men for the musical men.
Some years ago in Salt Lake.
about | o'clock in the morning, the
writer saw man Juggling away at
another vino was lying on the side
walk. A nearer approach revealed
the we'll known Gen. Agramontc
trying to get man on his feet,
whom he had found on the pave
ment.
The man on the walk proved to
be a soldier who had been beaten
almost to death in a saloon row.
Agramonte was afraid the Nor
mon police would find the man and
make matters still worse for his
head.
We got him in a wagon, threw
buffalo robe over him, and started
for Camp Douglass.
The guards came cut with tie
challenge, and we're informed that
the wagon contained soldier who
was almost dead from loss OF blood.
Poor fellow" said one of the
guards, as he approached the wagon,
much obliged for bringing him in
this bad night"
He lifted the robe and flashed |
his lantern in the soldiers face.
It'll" he exclaimed IN deep
