The Presidents message has been

in it some indication Of help from the

known that Mr.. Cleveland's financial
policy was a sound and safe one, and
the statement Of his opinions in this
message win do much to retain that
confidence in him which the people Of
the country have shown. His message
is short and to the point. 1t is really

eneago was the point farthest west
ward by water carriage in the temperate
zone during the greatest historic migra-
ton of the human race. IL the emigrant
desired to reach a region westward of
Lake Michigan, the journey as far as
Chicago would be the easier and least
expensive part of it. A city smade
not by itself, but by its surroundings;
not by those who stay, but by those who
pass through. The entry of steam power
into the affairs of men only increased
the advantages of Chicago. That city
could Offer TO a railroad the most freight
and the greHtest number of passengers.
Fort Dear5orn was built in 1903. It
became untenable during the British
war Of 1912 on account of Indian hostil-
tiles. The garrison, with women and
children, marched out on Aug. 10,
1919, and on reaching tree which now
stands dead at Eighteenth street and the
lake massacre began which finished
with the escape of only few of the
whites.
With the advent of the civil war Chi
cago, as railroad center, rendezvous
and news distributing point, became the
cynosure OF the west. Its press carried
the news of battle and made the daily
newspaper a necessity. AS battles were
not everyday events, the local affairs of
the young city were ceaselessly pressed
upon the attention of the people, and a
skating rink, a murder, q horse race. an
artesian well or baseball tournament
served to fill western Americans with
the never ceasing idea that in some way
Chicago was the most wonderful spot
on the globe.
The young men of Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, increasing
the wonder and curiosity of their elders,
looked steadfastly on Chicago for in
spiration and good fortune. 1t was at
this date-war times-that the New
York Tribune and Moore's Rural New
Yorker lost their supremacy in western
minds. The western star Of empire rose
clearly into the armament Of history.
The reader must recall the fact that
these people were pioneers. They had
built log houses in the forests. Wells
had been dug and curbed, baskets had
been made, brooms had been made.
shakes (shingles) had been split, fences
had been built, and the tools were but

$4,000 souls, with stone fronted palaces

On the night of Oct. and the whole

burned. The loss was reckoned in the
hundreds Of millions. Chicago had
been. 1t was no more. Chicago was
like dream. These tidings-the most
frightening that the world had heard

the western states with paralyzing
force.
