The WEST AND NORTHWEST.

The northwestern states are
growing as never before. The
new population is not gravita-
ting to the cities, but is absorb
ing the agricultural lands. Ida
hos population viii increase
100000 this year. 1t is the same
in Oregon and Washington; it
would be the same in Montana
if the water were ready to turn
upon the lands. The northwest
is swiftly becoming a greatgran-
airy and great fruit orchard. We
donotrealize the full significance
of this because we do not realize
the mighty area of the four
above named states. 1t is more
than seven time the area of all
New England, nearly four times
the area of the old middle states;
greater area than all the thir-
teen original colonies, and more
than all the areas of the Atlantic
coast states from Maine to Flor
ida. The west shore of our re-
public is beginning to come into
it's own. Each one Of its STATES
will soon be little empire in it.
self. After the next census their
representation will be greatly in
creased in congress. Then in
mineral wealth there is steady
advancement all over the west.
Formerly nearly all the profits
from western mines went east.
Now a great proportion remains
in the west, and the result can
not help but be the swifter and
swifter building up of both the
coast and interior of these states.
They will soon begin to be fac
tors in the worlds commerce
that will be in some respects con-
trolling. In the foregoing we
have not mentioned California,
the very greatest state of all, the
France OF our republic, and the
state wherein cluster more glories
than in any other state. Good

The offense of which Senator
Mitchell was convicted was not,
as is sometimes supposed, for
completely in land frauds, but
for receiving money from aclient
for using his services as a sena-
tor in matters of government
business. The nature of the
services rendered, whether to
secure title lawfully or unlawfuIly,
had nothing to do with the case
and was not a question that was
on trial. The crime specifically
charged aid proven was that
while receiving the salary of a
senator and thus obligating him
self to perform the duties of a
senator both to the government
and to the people, he received
another salary from private per-
sons to employ his official posi-
ton in their behalf. 1t was not
charged that this service was
given in the performance of a
fraud but if it should be proven
that it was so of course his Of
tense will be the more heinous.-
