The star Of the west is fast rising in
the political armament never to set;
and after the year 1900 the east must
ask us: Whom will you have for pres
ident?" On that day of its power the
wild and woody west" will be both
generous and just. Its ambition, bound
less as the universe, will be only for the
welfare of our common country and the
honor of the nations flag. The ancients
believed in an Arcadian realm, toward
which those happy mortals, favored of
the gods, might sail on summer seas;
and where the sunset kissed the ocean
waves they saw its golden strand. This
is that land; the centuries have given
it to the human race. Have given it,
that on its peaceful shores earth's toll
ing millions might find rest and hope.
Have given it, that those enslayed in
other climes may here be free. Have
given it, for the upbuilding and perpet,
uation of a government in which all
men are equal before the law. Have
given it, that its sheltering valleys may
abound in pleasant homes, and its eter
nal hilltops glorify the goodness OF
Almighty God.

THE GREAT WEST.

The Hon. j. NJ. Thurston, Of Ne
braska, in his address upon the occasion
of the formal opening of the Corn Pal
ace at Sioux City, last Monday evening,
accorded great honors to the prosperous
and growing west. The resources, con-
ditions and future Of the great territory
were intelligently discussed, and the
orators deductions will stimulate pride
and contentment among our people.
Thurston is the Depew of the West. He
is eloquent, conversant with the ques-
lions discussed, and all who heard or
shall read his mastery Grafton will be
the richer in knowledge of the West.
We append a few extracts, shorn of in
Productions and connections, on account
of time and space.
Asa people we are fortunate in being
located in : the American corn belt.
Iowa, Nebraska, southern Dakota and
northern Kansas produce corn in its
greatest perfection. Wherever it will
successfully grow it is by far the best
paying crop that can be extensively
raised. 1t does not impoverish the soil
like wheat, and although it cannot well
pay the cost of long transportation to a
distant market, yet the pork and beef it
fattens can. maintain, without fear
of successful contradiction, that the
corn growers west of the Mississippi
river have been, and are now, accumu-
lating wealth faster than any other class
of people in the world. know there is |
no royal road to fortune through the
corn field or across the farm. No man
can grow suddenly rich or accumulate
from filling the soil. The agri-
culturist has no opportunity to speculate
upon the misfortunes of his neighbors,
nor can he rob them of their hard earn |
ings by questionable methods or legal
lied chicanery. But no man can show
100000 people, engaged in one pursuit,
on any portion of the globe, who have
gained so rapidly in material possessions
as have the farmers of this great corn
region.

TO DRIVE OUT NEGROES.
Race Troubles Expected in u Town In
Missouri.

CAIRo, ILL.,, Sept 13.-There are symptoms
OF race war in Missouri at Dexter, town
about forty-two miles down the Iron Mountain
road. The people in that section have for
years excluded all negroes from among them.
A short time ago a man named Williams settled
on farm near there and engaged a dozen
negroes to work for him. Fifty armed white
men waited upon him this week and told him
he must get rid Of the negroes. He said they
might kill him first. The armed men returned
to town, where they circulated paper pledg-
ing the signers to stand by the regulators
About 500 men signed the paper out of 700 in
the town. There are about SO men who side
with Williams, among them a hardware mer-
chant, who has imported Winchesters and am
munition sufficient to arm his side. Further
trouble is expected in the next ten days if the
negroes remain.

'Well, that is a hard question to answer until

that he has been accused Of exceeding his au-
thority as pension commissioner If he has
done so am sure it was unintentional. I do
not believe he would do any dishonorable act,
but owing to a lack of business capacity he
may have made serious mistakes in his conduct
of the Office.

pened, but at present it is a matter entirely
between the President, the Secretary of the
Interior and Mr.. Tanner. In fact il is no
business Of anybody's except the officials in

Bussey and Mr.. Tanner both sought my advice.
urged them to bury their differences and pull
together harmoniously, but it seems they could

about it, said Gen. Alger, in conclusion, ''but
under the circumstances they have no feeling
except one Of regret. They will have no
opinion to express until the facts come out.
