The Future Seat of Political Power.

Both New York and Indiana, after the
next census will lose much of that over
whelming political Importance which now
attaches to them, and the battle-ground will
be in the great west. 1t can scarcely come
in 1892, for it is virtually conceded that the
admission of the new states insures the elec-
tion of a republican president in that year
but in subsequent elections, when the parties
IN new states have become balanced, or
nearly so. it is possible that the interest of
an election may center in one or more of the
states west of the Missouri river, as it now
does about New York and Indiana.

THE fiat of the convention of street

Labor must go will not shake the irma-
ment or startle the world. These amia-
BILE high-salaried gentlemen, whose
hours are made to suit their conven- :
ience, declare their readiness TO "estab-
lish community of interest between
the employer and the employed" but
the latter must not murmur against
long hours or starvation pay, or unite
for mutual advancement. So long as
they bow to the corporate autocrats the
community of interest" will flourish
and fatten the dividends. 1t is all right
for the presidents and the corporations
to combine, but in their eyes similar
union of worltmon is crime. The

A NARROW AND SELFISH VIEW

A NARROW AND SELFISH VIEW.
1t was to be expected that there
would be opposition in the east to the
proposed plan OF government irrigation
for reclaiming the arid lands of the
west The farmers Of New England
and other portions of the east, who
charge the decline in the value of their
lands aud the prolitableness of agri-
culture there to the competition OF the
west, would naturally be hostile to ex-
tending this competition by making
available for agriculture a large area
in the west now practically worth
less. But no such narrow and
elfish sentiment was to have been
looked for from any portion of the peo-
pie of the west. Yet the platform
adopted by the late democratic conven-
tion of Nebraska declares:
We denounce and protest against appropri-
atoms to irrigate desert lands because the
farmers of the United States should not be
further taxed to create competition for their
farms and themselves. We have already
enough arabic land 10 glut home market
and put nearly all farm products below the
cost OF production.
Only the most arrant demagOg Y
could have prompted declaration Of
this kind, but it will fail of its obvious
purpose with the intelligent farmers OF
| Nebraska. They have no fear that the
| proposal to make valuable lands out OF
| now worthless region, capable under
the conditions which it is believed ir-
rigation will produce of sustaining a
population equal to that of the entire
country at present, and thereby add
ing enormously to the national
wealth, would diminish theirprosperity
