WESTERN MAN FOR PRES7-

DENT.

IN population the north and east no longer dominate the west and south,
 and. consequently no longer possess a prepond ance of power in either branch of congress.
 Westward the course of empire takes its way" Ind790 the centre of gravity of the population of the United States was near Baltimore. Each de .ccnnial period since our fitst census has marked the course of empire west ward, the center of population moving about fifty miles every ten years and substantially along the 39tli parallel. It has crossed thesOhio river, is now in Indiana.

 IGNORANCE OF LAW.

Our state constitution should be so amended as to9prohibit any law from taking effect sooner than sixty orisine- ty days after the adjournment of the legislature, except said act should con- tain clause expressing an emergency why and declaring that it.should take effect earlier. There cannot we'll be greater oppression than to hold people responsible for the violation of law when they do not and cannot know of the existence of such laws. An illus tration of this is in1the act of 1887, " hich changed the mode of conveying homesteads in this State. After the passage of that law ,and before it was or could have been known by the peo- pie of the state, many conveyances were made which were imperative.
 Ignorance of law excuses no man." Therefore eevery man should have an opportunity to know what the law is before he shall be judged by it.-Boone Banner
