LIE PROSPEROUS WEsT.

Only = decade ago the farmers Of the
great West depended upon Eastern
capital to keep them going, Money
was at premium, paying ten per cent.
interest in certain States, and in others
as high as twelve. Millions Of dollars
went from the East in return for Kan
sas mortgages, and there came a time
when many such investments sIumped
dreadfully. because Kansas farming
did not pay.
But mighty change has taken place.
1t began right after the election OF
Mckinley. Whether that event had
anything to do with 1t we do not pre-
tend 70 say, but certainly Western
prosperity has been coincidept with
Republican administrations. A vast
percentage OF these mortgages have
been paid off. and the premium on
money is no greater than it is in Dela-
ware.

When Dexter made a mile in 2.40 on

Il vumt" II was regarded as the
acme Of speed for trotting horses. But
the record dropped peg by peg until
Goidsmiths Maid made it in 214, and
then it was thought that the limit had
been reached. About this time we be-
gan TO measure the quarter seconds
and to regard anything above that as
beyond the realm OF modern speed
records. Rarus reduced it by clipping
on three quarters of a second, and
was followed by Maud s.. who reduced
81 to 2.OsH. And so the contest has
gone on until yesterday Lou Dillon
made it in two minutes nat knocking
~ seconds OFF Of the fastest previous
record.
For several years there has been a
feeling that some day there would be
wonderful horse that would strike
the two minute gait and it has been
done. Whether it Is possible under
modern methods of breeding to hold
20 that gait, is question, but in all
such things we have way of going
forward. But certainly this is almost
the limit for there must be limit in
such matters. We have reached it in
the speed Of our railway trains, in our
steamships, and We have also probably
reached 1t on the track. 1t may ba
possible that a second or two may yet
be clipped on. but it is safe to say
that substantially the limit for trotting
horses has been reached.

fellows and quail before the possibility
of having the word ''scab' hurled after
them. with the result that they quit
their employment, possibly never to be
re-instated.
For the average working man to 80
on a strike requires a high order Of
courage or a degree of fooi-hardiness.
II he has no family ties IT is not so Sc
rious. but with number OF hungry
mouths for which he must provide food,
it is a serious thing. We have read Of
cases where the wives OF the men have
been the first to demand strike, and
the last to advise return to work. and
this has been regarded as an example
for applause
On the other hand, we have heard
the story Of one woman who, when her
husband came home from the mill an
nouncing that he had gone on strike,
said that he was on strike most Of
the time. and that she was going on a
strike to keep him company sym

fused to cook his meals or to perform
any OF the household duties for a few
days, when her husband declared his
strike of.
The point is that while mans du-
ties may be conflicting. his paramount
duty is to his family. 1t is for him to
make his labor count but any man with
a spark Of manliness in his nature will
work for a pittance, and at any kind
OF labor. rather than see them suffer.
and the working man, whether he be-
long TO union or not, must make this
his chief concern. The Philadelphia
papers tell us Of sad tale Of a woman
whose husband was on a strike. Her
children were starving and there was
no prospect of better conditions. So
she gathered them into her room and
turned on the gas. Two Of them died,
and the mother and the other two were
saved. Now she win have to face a
murder charge. Who is to blame? The
law win say that woman is the guilty
person. Others viii declare that the
fault lies with the man who left his
employment and thus cut off the means
Of providing for his family. Then there
are those who viii attribute the whole
