COMING WEST.

The manager of one of the great
foundries that has been in operation in
Albany, N. Y, for a half-century or
more, in a newspaper interview indi-
Gates the reason why his establishment
will move West to an Illinois town. He
says: "Our coming West is not mere
within. 1t is significant Of q movement
which is bound to become more apparent
every year. The outlet in the West for
manufactured goods is growing to be
enormous, and in all lines of manufaet-
ure where freights cut large figure
factories will be forced to come West"
That is merely following the general
movement. The operation of the inter-
state commerce act tends to make long
hauls less desirable and bring the man
ufacturer nearer the source of his sup
plies. Cotton mills are going to the
cottOn-growing regions, and iron and
other manufactures are coming to the
regions where the raw materials are to
be had most cheaply, and nearer the
mass of the consumers. There are
large classes of manufactured articles
that can as we'll be produced in the
West as in the older sections. All the
agricultural implements used for many
hundred miles north and west could as
we'll be manufactured in the centers
that can profit by the low lake rate, and
the abundance of raw material fur
nished in the metals and timber of the
Northwest. The Albany incident is
illustrative. The industrial movement is
largely westward, and points so favora-
bly, situated as the Twin Cities cannot
be too alert to invite and encourage
seekers of new locations. The best en-
couragement is to relieve them of bur-
dens upon the essentials of their man
ufactureS.

and New York for CLEVELAND last
year. In spite of Gov. HILL, Demo-
cratic conventions are almost uniformly
declaring for the ballot reform, and
whatever motives opponents may attrib-
ute for this advocacy, the friends of
honest elections should be glad to sec
all parties on this advance line. 1t is
low grade view of any reform that 1t
affects this or that party, and the party
Of moral ideas or claims should rise
higher, whether the Democrats can or
not. 1t Is matter that lies near the
foundations Of honest government to
have pure and honest ballot. The most
interesting and complete trial of the
Australian system will be had in Massa-
chusetts next month, and there is ap-
prehension among the Republicans that
the results will not be entirely favor
able to them. But the reform is max
ing good Roadway.

THE BOYCOTT FAILED.

1t will be remembered that in New
Hampshire, Nebraska. and, perhaps,
one or two other states, local statutes
require fire insurance companies to pay
the face of the policies in place of the
value of the property destroyed only.
When this act was passed in New
Hampshire all the outside COM
panies formed a compact to boycott
that state until the law was re-
pealed. This, however, has proved in
effective, and there is no disposition to
do away with the law. Home companies
sprung up and took the business. The
fact that compact was requisite shows
that profitable business could be done
under the law, as otherwise every com
pany would have gone out to save itself
from loss. The Etna, of Hartford, has
now left the boycotters, which ends that
effort. The state can get along without
them, but it has business that they want.
A similar movement was threatened
against Nebraska, but failed. 1t is a
matter of cOngratulatiOn when any COM
bination against the general interest
comes to grief. BOycOtts are going out
of fashion.

THE SUMNER GIRL.

From the mountains and the beaches,
Where the rule of fashion reaches,
She's returning;
And our yearning
For her will be satisfied.
She is Drowned, and plump, and rosy,
Fairer than the fairest posy;
Beauty rarer,
Maiden fairer,
Lover never sought for bride.
Home she comes, her fascination
Doubled by her recreation,
And her beauty
Makes mans duty
Seem a thing of little worth.
Eager he to bow before her,
Tlatter, worship and adore her;
If she's lonely,
She has only
just to ask; she gets the earth.
She's tyrant gay, eoquettish,
Sometimes petnlant and pettish,
But we love her;
None above her
Ever so our hearts beguiled.
We will give her welcome gladly,
For we've missed her presence sadly;
She's the dearest
And the nearest
To our hearts; God bless the child
