The spectacle of Arthur Sewall going
before the voters of the United States
on a platform that declares against
trusts and for free silver is indeed a
peculiar one. Sewall was at one time
president of and is now a large owner
in one of the most grinding railroad
corporations in the Eastern States. He
is a millionaire and has made his money
by keeping hand in hand with the
wall street gold bugs" against whom
the people of the West declare in strong
terms. He had always been Cleve-
land Democrat up to the time of his
election as a delegate to the Chicago
convention. To all appearances he is
the kind of politician who believes in
getting in out of the wet" UndOubt
eddy he was nominated with the hope
of pacifying the gold wing of the party
but unfortunately for him the fight
this year is for principles and not indi-
Viduals. Unless the Eastern men under
go a wonderful change of heart, Sew
alI's name on the Democratic ticket will
help to make McKinIey's election sure.

SENATOR ALLEN ON WESTERN
SENTIMENT.

Since the Democratic party has cham
pioned an issue that will test the
strength of the Eastern States against
the West, it is interesting to note the
remarks of Senator William V. Allen
of Nebraska in an article. Western
Feeling Toward the East" written for
the North American Review of May.
The article was called forth by an ar
ticle written by II. r. West, in which
the statement was made that the time
may come when the West will see that
its highest development depends upon
the management of its own affairs.
Senator Allen maintains that among
the general run of Western people
there is no disaffection. He is inclined
to put the boot on the other leg and
say that the East is dissatisfied with the
West He holds that there is a change
of feeling from former days when
nearly every public man in the West
spoke of his birthplace as in an Eastern
State Those men have passed from
the scene of action, and their children,
born in the West, succeed them. The
Eastern thought, energy and sympathy
has given way to spirit distinctively
Western. In fact the people of the West
know comparatively little of the East
ern section, their dealings being al
most entirely of a business character
Notwithstanding that Eastern capt.
Western cities, Senator Allen main
tains that the people of the latter feel
that Eastern capitalists are endeavor-
ing to drain Western industry of its
profits. Being a silverite and a free
trader, he cites the protective tariff
and the continuance of the gold stand
ard as items in the general plan of ex-
tOrtion. He also states that it is felt
that Eastern capitalists, by attempting
to control Western newspapers, have
endeavored to create false sentiment
on the tariff, financial and transporta-
ton questions. Furthermore, the ten
dency of the Eastern papers to speak of
the rotten Western boroughs, West /
ern ignorance etc, does not serve to /
strengthen the bond OF brotherly love
between the two sections.
After reviewing these matters of diff
ference, Senator Allen comes down TO /
the foundation of the discussion as fol-
lows:
But it must be understood that after
all these evils viii correct themselves
by intelligent and conservative agita-
ton and at the ballot box. The West
ern people are neither selfish nor dis
loyal. They are, on the contrary, ex-
tremely generous and intensely Ameri-
can. They believe in the union of the
States and the sacredness of the Con-
stitution, and they will not listen 10
the advocacy of anything that looks
like secession. Suggestions that have
appeared in the Eastern press that a
sentiment OF discomfort bordering on
disunion exists among the people of the
West are untrue and do very great in
justice to hundreds of thousands of
splendid men who, in the hour of ma
fonal danger, offered their lives as a
sacrifice on the altar of their country.
and in the interest of national peace {
and the truth of history such statements {
should not be made
"The possibility OF secession or dis '
lnion cannot be admitted. The United

THE PACIFIC

One of the interesting features Of the
San Francisco Examiners endorsement
OF the Democratic platform is the care
full manner in which reference to the
silver issue is avoided. Such half
hearted support from the leading Dem
ocratic paper OF California, together
with the wholesale bolt of Democratic
newspapers east of the Mississippi
river, will give an opportunity for the
people Of the United States TO come to
a realization of the power of the press.

Any utenSil or flat iron may

1t is impossible to turn the
wick too high, thus insuring

The most positive proof of
the success of this stove is
