Looking Westward.

The growth Of the west since the
war has been the boast OF the nation
aud marvel of the world.
History affords no parallel to its
increase in population, development
in agriculture. advance in material
prosperity, magic rise of great cities
and addition of new states.
Ir 1870, when the first federal
census after the war was taken, there
were, properly speaking. twelve
western states. To day there are
nineteen.
Then the aggregate population OF
the west, including the territories,
was 100000, or about third Of
total population of the country. Now
it is more than 25,O00,e 900. or nearly
half Of the whole.
II is true that the east aud south
have more electoral votes than they
had in:1S63 But it is not less true
that the west has gained far more
largely than any other part Of tho
country in electoral representation.
and consequently in political pow
.r.
These facts and figures are preg-
uant with signiication TO the demo.
Gratis. They show where the balance
Of political power has been looming

Rescued From Dire Peril.

Southampton, Dec. 22-The North
German Lloyd steamer Spree, with
the passengers and crew of the
the burned steamer Abyssinia on
board, arrived here mt n late hour to-
night. The passengers aboard the
Abyssinia first heard of the fire last
Friday afternoon. The steamer was
then on fire at both ends Three
hours later the steamer Spree was
sighted and she was asked to take
off the Abyssinia's passengers and
crew. The Spree Immediately sent
her boats to the rescue and all on
board were safely transferred to the
Spree with the exception of one sea
man, who jumped overheard aud was
drowned.
As there was then not the slight.
est chance Of saving the Abyssinia
she was abandoned and the spree
proceeded on her voyage.
Perfect discipling was maintained
aboard the Ably ssiuia and there was
no excitement among the passengers
on the discovery of the fire.
The rescued passengers are full OF
gratitude for the kindness with which
they were treated by the captain Of
the spree, TO whom they have pre-
sented testimonial.
The fire was discovered by the Of
fcers at noon on Friday. The flames
had then gained such headway that
they soon spread over the whole ves-
sci. The origin of the fire is un-
known, but it is attributed to spon-
taneous combustion in the cargo of
cotton. All of the Abyssinia's pas
sengers We're landed here.

For the past few nights there has
been unwonted activity aboard the
Chilian war ships in this harbor.
The crews have been reused from
their quarters, electric lights have
been thrown into the forts and the
sailors have all been armed with
Mannlicher rifles. Extra vigilance
has been shown also in guarding the
arsenal. All these things have been
! done as matter of precaution and
to prevent any attempt at row
when President Montt is inaugural
ed tomorrow. The formation OF
the new cabinet by Ramon Barros
Lucos is regarded with the greatest
favor. 1t is believed that the tinan
cial scheme of the bankers will pro.
pose the payment of customs duties
in silver after June l, 1892.

speech made when receiving the
Chilian ministers produced sD ex-
cellent impression here except as re.

done despite knowledge OF the ef-
forts of the refugees at the American
legislation to create disturbance.

Crawfordyille, Ind, Dec. 22.-The
tusk of a huge masto1on has been
discovered at Darlingto ten miles
north Of tho city. The find proves
to be much better than was at first
thought, and promises to be one of
the finest ever made in this country.
The tusk was discovered in digging
a well at the residence of George
Lynch. The tusk was struck by the
drill, and 50 perfect did the ivory
seem to be that they decided that t
had commercial value and conclud-
ed to dig it up. They dug down to
it, about twelve feet under ground,
and found tba. the tusk that they
had struck was at least twelve
inches in diameter, and even on the
outside was almost perfectly pre-
served. The men have already un
earthed about four feet Of the tusk
ard have found no sign of an end
either way. Judging from that al
ready il view, the tusk is about
fourteen feet i'll length, and the
finders are confident IN their belief

party were en- route to Butler last
night a mob of Choctaw county men
orerpowerel the posse and hanged
the three men, Bob Sims, Tom Say
age and Young Savage. 1t is report
Ell that another of the Savage boys
! WAS hanged at the same time. This
IS III addition to john Savage, who
was hanged on Christmas eve.
! Sims had agreed to surrender on
condition that they be protected
ana carried to Butler jul, The sher-
II promised the best protection that
he could give under the circum
, stances. Sims selected TWENTY-FIVE
men ana the sheriff twenty-five and
started with them to Butler. About
one mile from Sims house a body
OF men from one to two hundred
strong took them from the guard
and hanged them all three to a tree.
Sins expressed fears that lie would
never reach the jail dead or alive.
When he was placed in the buggy
for the fatal ride he refused to be
bliudfolded. He held out his hands
and asked them to feel of his pulse.to
see if he was frightened and said he
was going TO heaven. Young Savage
said: IF you think enough Of me
to bury me, put me by side Of Sims;
We are fighting tor the same cause"
The women were turned loose.
All is quiet now. The names Of the
Slmsites hung are Bob Sims, Tom
Savage, Con Savage and his two
grown sons.
Thus ends the defiance of the
United States, the state Of Alabama
and IN fact all laws, of notorious
Bob Sims and four of his followers.
TWO MORE OF SIMS SET HANGED.
