New York, and came TO this city with
her husband about thirty years ago.
Mrs. Kay was consistent member of
the Presbyterian Church. and Of which
her late husband was n kuling Elder.
She was quiet, unostentatious woman,
devoted and Jealous worker in church
affairs, aud her christian character no
one ever questioned or doubted. Her
own life work is her best eulogy. Her
funeral took place from her late resi-
dence yesterday afternoon; the Rev

clared that it was their own fault.

The time for the meeting of the
Democratic nominating convention be-
ing fixed on June 9Th, makes it two
weeks before the Republican conyen-
ton meets This date was not agreed
upon without a struggle, for there is
an element in the party, which though
small and rapidly diminishing, still be-
lieves in waiting for the Republicans
TO make the issue. The majority Of
the party, however, think that the is
sue has already been fully set forth by
the Presidents message TO Congress
and that no other platform is needed to
make the fight on This is the apgres-
sive element, those who carry the cleo
tions; and the present aggressive con-
dition of the party will rouse their
enthusiasm TO an unusual pitch, will
make them think Of the many national
victories won by the party in ante-bel-
lum days. The selection Of the great
metropolis Of the southwest, St. Louis,
as the place Of meeting was the very
best that could have been made.

OuR good friend, Milford Gibson,
has stirred the western people up. In
another column we publish n letter
from gentleman in Miles, Washing
ton Territory, who says Mr.. Gibson 8
description Of the west is not an accu-
rate one. 1t occurs to us the only adj
vantage the west has over our State is
in forming, and if our farmers would
go to work and cultivate their farms
use a little fertilizer-we have our Sc
rious doubts if the west could boast of
any advantage in this respect. As for
pure air, healthful climate, incxhaust-
IDLE mines of mineral of every variety
and value, pure water, forests of tim
Der, iron, salt, oil, friedrich clay, nat
ural gas, etc, there is no comparison
between the west and this State. We
can give the west ten points to one and
beat her. But Ono Who Knows falls
into the same mistaken idea the Repub-
lican Valley Echo has fallen into, viz.
that Mr.. G.. is trying TO run down
the west. This was the fartherest from
his thought. His description of the
west was that which the western peo-
pie gave him, coupled with his obser-
walton. The associated press reports
of the terrible suffering in the west
confirms what Mr.. Gibson said. Who
ever heard of the thermometer drop
ping down 500 below zero in the east
ern States 4?
We have no doubt One Who knows
gives the west the benefit of partiality,
and we fail to see where he is able to
claim advantage for the west over the
east, only in a farming sense, and
when we remember the failure of crops
and the grassboppers in the west we are
constrained to believe we can excel the
west in farming if our people will cul-
tiyate their farms Our land, while it
is underlaid with all kind of minerals.
is frst-class for farming and grazing
an advantage we have over the Penn
sylvania coal fields.
The young lady whom One Who
Knows says has such a fine orchard is
surely to be congratulated, but an al
most every farmer in this State raises
more fruit than be can dispose Of, it is
not necessary to haue such large or
chards. Our farmers, as a general rule.
give away more fruit each year, and
more fruit lie on the ground and actu-
ally rot than the young lady raises in
several years.
We would inform the western peo-
pie that our State is On a boom now.
and we would gladly welcome them if
they would come and live among us.
and We feel confident they would never
regret the exchange. Our boom il
one that will not explode. It is a
boom that many man in after years
will regaet that he did not take adyan-

Quite number of Republican pa
pcrs have been foolish enough to
charge Pension Commissioner Black
with having shown favoritism in allow
ing the amounts of pensions to soldiers
living in Democratic States. A table
has been issued by the Pension Office
showing the average pension paid each
soldier in each State and Territory. 1t
shows that the largest average amounts
are paid to soldiers who arc residents
of the States and Territories which
have always given Republican MAORI
ties. Bring in another Republican
canard.
