THE GO-WEST POLICY
The following article is copied from the
Johnstown Daily Tribune, which embodies
our own views of the "Go-West Polley"
so fully that we transfer it to ourcolumns
with pleasure:
We sincerely hope that uoue of our
friends and subscribers who arc doing well
in good old Pennsylvania will suffer them
selves to be tempted to exchange their
present home for new homes in the Far
West. If any of these are now seriously
meditating such a change, we beg them to
give due weight to all that is daily being
said in the newspapers concerning the
hardships which those who lice toward
the setting sun have been called upon to
endure. We take up scarcely one live
newspaper, no matter where published,
which does not contain a more or less
elaborate reference to the present perplex
ed condition of the people of the West,
especially Western farmers. Indeed no
tepie of special interest has received more
thoughtful and absorbing. consideration
since the close of the late Presidential
campaign than the dispute between the
dissatisfied and ill-paid farmers of the
West and the transportation companies, in
which dispute all the hitherto imperfectly
understood facts of rural and town life on
the prairies have been fully made known.
It appears, first of all, that the much
praised homestead law, which embodies the
spirit of the old sou:, that "Uncle Sam is
rich enough to give ns all a farm," is net
an unmixed blessing to those who receive
its benefits, nor a blessing at all to the
country at large. It has unduly stimula-
ted the emigration from the Eastern States
of small farmers and tradesmen ambitious
to become farmers, whose efforts in devel- '
oping the agricultural resources of these
States were greatly needed, and it has
given to many of the Western States a
population almost exclusively composed of
farmers, who have devoted their energies
to the production of crops of wheat and
corn at distances so remote from consu
mers that they would not profitably bear
the cost of transportation. If the farmers
could have been enriched, or even made
moderately comfortable. by this policy of
over-production at the West, there could
not be much fault found with it; but when
it not only raises the cost of bread and
meat tothose in the East, who have to pay
for this needless transportation, but also
brings the farmers themselves face to face
for many a year with hard-handed poverty,
and pinching privations, it becomes an evil
and only an evil.
Yet there never would have been over
production at the West, nor under-produc
tion at the East, if the homestead law and
its twin companion, the land grant system,
had not been enaetcd. We do not say
that these two policies should not have
received governmental sanction, but they
should not have been permitted so wide
an application as they have met; they
should have been so framed that they
would have kept even pace with the heal
thy growth of the country, and only that.
But they were not so conceived, and the
result is that the Western farmer cannot
obtain needed clothing and other neeessa
ries which he does not produce, in exchange
for the agricultural staples he does pro
dace, while the Eastern mechanic and la
borer is compelled to pay two prices for
his bread and meat, because the farmers
who were once their neighbors have "gone
West." The Government has simply car
ried its liberal land policy too far. It has
made thousands of families "land poor"
upon Kansas and Minnesota prairies, who
would have fared better if they had re
mained in the East on one-tenth of the
number of acres.. The preponderance of
farmers in the West and the scarcity of
the same class in the East are shown in
the following figures which present the
proportion of the people is thirteen States
who are engaged in farming and other oc
cupations :

In live Eastern States there is an aver
age of seventeen and one-fourth per cent.
of the laboring population engaged in
firming, and in the eight Western States
an average of fifty-two and four-fifth per
cent. is thus employed. Could these ex
tremes have been approximately equalized
by a wiser land system than we have had,
Western farmers would never have been
compelled to hurts their corn as fuel be
cause they could not sell it at soy price.
Another fact brought prominently to
light by the "railroad war" is the absorb
ing attention given by Western flumers to
the production of two leading crops—coin
and wheat. The necessity of securing
speedy returns for the labor given to the
prairie farm, by growing crops which usu
ally have a marketable value as soon as
they arc produced, and the inability to
find a market for other crops which he
might produce, are the reasons which have
made this feature of Western farming so
prominent. In years like the present,
when corn sod wheat are a drug, Western
fitrraers would gladly change this feature
for something better, but how can they ?
They have not generally planted orchards,
nod, if they had, fruit-growing is exposed
to too many perils in most of the Western
States to wake it a source of substantial
income to those who embark in it. They
can not largely engage in butter-making,.
for this requires warm barns for its MC
tessful prosecution, and to build these re
quires money, which a majority of them
have not got. They can not to any extent
engage in poultry-raising, gardening, and
other minor occupations of the farm, for
these to be profitable must meet a demand
which does not exist in a cinnumnity coin
posed almost cxcle. - 4:703 - in , rs.

quires time and capital. It would seem
to be a difficult matter for the average
Western farmer to change his system of
farming, and if he can not"do this he will
be at the mercy of the railroads and fluc
tuating markets fur many years to come.
In the end, and gradually, he will be re
lieved by the establishment of manufac
tures, which will give him a home market
for everything that his farm will produce,
but this relief will not come in a day, and
in the meantime there will be further pri
vation and hardship.
The Pennsylvania farmer, even if his
farm be small and his- toil severe, is always
within reach of a good market, for every
load of grain or potatoes, for every barrel
of apples and head of cabbage, for every
blade of grass and pound of butter or doz
en of eggs his farm will produce. If his
winters are hard, those of the West are no
softer; if he has to contend with stumps
and rocks, better these than a treeless
plain without a rivulet thnt. would water a
goat. We would net .i* Weo,
for it has advantages that shoul.l
slightly considered, and all cannot live in
the original thirteen States, but just now
is a bad time for any person to go West
to engage in farming. There are too many
farmers there now. Nearly all branches
of business in the West are the reverse of
flourishing. Look before you leap.
SALARIES OF DELEGATES
Many of our contemporaries, in discuss
ing the action of the Constitutional Con
vention fixing the salary of delegates, labor
under the wrong impression that it raises
the sum in defiance of the law, which had
fixed it at 81,000. The inference of many
people in reading such comments is that
the convention assumed the right to fix
the salary of its delegates, annulling the
law on the subject, and therefore the harsh
reflection has been indulged that it is a
species of salary jobbing ecinal to that in
dulged in by Congress. This is a misap
prehension of the entire case. The gen
eral appropriation bill passed by the
Legislature of 1873 contains the following
section, which is full authority for what
the convention did, and which, on careful
reading, will enlighten onr cmtemporaries
ou the subject :
Sacrum 28. For the payment of the expenses
of the Constitutional Convention, including
the pay of the members, clerks, and officers
thereof, and the printing therefor, the sum of
$500,000, or so much thereof as may be neces
sary, to be settled by the Auditor General;
and the amount of the salaries of the members
and clerks, and the pay of the officers and em
ployes thereof, shall be fixed by the Constitn.,
tional Convention, and the money shall be paid
by the State Treasurer on the warrants of the
president of said convention, countersigned by
the chief clerk of the convention ; and any
statute inconsistent herewith be and the same
is hereby repealed.
- •
It will be seen by the above that the
convention was duly authorized to name
the amount of all salaries; that it was
necessary fty it to do so before a d.illar of
pay could be drawn by delegates, ofscers,
reporters, or subordinates. The suns of
$500,000 was placed at the disposal of the
convention, out of which to pay all its
expenses, and in accordance therewith it
zed all salaries, and thus authoritatively
opened the way for the disbursement of
this fend. I 4 doing this no attempt at
"salary jobbing" was essayed ; and in
fixing the pay of delegates at $OOO no
charge of excess can with justice be pre
ferred against that body, when we consider
the nature of the service rendered and the
length of time required to perform it pro
perly. But the main point we desire to
impress upon our contemporaries, led into
error on this subjeet, is that the amplest
authority exists for what the convention
did, and that in this business of salary it
acted precisely as the law directs. It had
to name a salary before any could be paid,
and in fixing the amount of pay it did not
exceed the value of the services render

The only notable builcPg destroyed by

I years ago, hal had a very curious and in
teresting Wstory. The building was 611-
j : shed is 1569. having been built by Messrs.
Alfred Cheney and Dexter H. Follet,
gentlemen of largo means and elevated
*tastes. The late - Jolla 11. Selwyn was se
lected as manager, and the new theatre
was styled simply "Selwyn's," in imitation
of "Wdlack's, the latter being taken as
a mold in all essential features. Theidea
was to run the establishment as a comedy
theatre with a stock company alone, and
a very 4rong company was secured, among
its leading members being
Mrs. E. S.
Chanfrau and Mr. Georgell. Griffiths.
But it was soon found that Boston was a
different place from New York and after
the first season the Wallack plan was
abandoned, resort being made to the star
system. The, late J. W. Wallack was
thereupon engaged as leading man; Mr.
Charles Fechter was made nominal mana
ger and the chief attraction; Mrs. Chan
frau was to continue as leading lady; and
the name was changed to the Globe thea
tre, Mr. Selwyn assuming the position of
stage manager. This new arrangment,
however lasted only a few weeks. Mr.
Feehter soon became embroiled in troubles
with Mr. Wallack and Mrs. Chatham
and after one of the most notable theatri
cal squabbles on record Mr. Fechter aban
doned all connection with the establish
ment. Mr. Selwyn, however, remained
stage manager until September, 1872,
being succeeded by William R. Floyd,
Mr. Cheney being meanwhile the sole pro
prietor and manager. At the time of its
destruction, the boards of the-Globe thea
tre were occupied by Wilkie Collins' play
"New Magdalen," in which Miss Carlottale
Clercq acted the leading part, the piece
, being very successful.

WASHINGTON, lowa, May 25.—1 t is
now possible to forui something like a con
nected and consistent account of the tor
nado which wrought so much destruction
of life and property in this county last
Thursday. It was not so at first, when
everybody who had suffered from it was at
his wits' end as tb what he should do
next, and in a very unfit state to give an
account of what he bad seen and clone du
ring the disaster. The witnesses generally
say that for some time before the storm
burst upon them they heard a loud noise,
which they describe as being like that of
distant thunder, the rumbling of a train of
ears, cannonading, and the like. The sky
was clear and clearing (for rain bad fallen
in the morning), and the people were sur
prised when shortly after hearing the
roar of the wind, they saw hail descend
ing in sheets, and each drop of enormous
circumference—as much as five inches in ,
some cases. As to the tornado itself, some
describe a huge black clued shaped like a
balloon and gyrating rapidly, which came
down from 100 to 200 feet in the air
where it was first seen, and as it went along
demolished or absorbed: all in its path.
Others saw two. clouds and others three,
which seemed to be playing and tumbling
about each other till they coalesced like
drops of.meroury merging into each other
and went on in their path of destruction;
but all agree in the balloon form, with its
pointed peak towards the earth. Claps of
thunder came from it frequently, but there
seems to have been very little lightning.
Its rate of speed in going from Ljayaville
to the Ohio river was about twenty-seven
miles an hour; there are no means of
measuring the velocity of its gyration, but
it must have been enormous, as from side
to side in its path huge timbers which,
had been sucked up were driven deep intli
the ground.
Mr. Marburg was standing within a
short distance of it when it passed, but
did not at first feel any violent wind. It
was hurrying toward the school house;
where his children were, and he ran after
it. Then he got within its draught and
was hurried along, so that in his running
- he sometimes went eight feet at a leap.
At times it would bound from the ground
and go up for two hundred feet, and again
descend within a quarter of a mile from
where it started, Sometimes it returned
4Pon its path, and at others separated into
two or three parts, one of which would go
in one direction and another in another;
but again all would come together. In
bee it was intensely black, and when it
descended upon an object completely hid
it from sight. So fur as I can learn the
-domestic animals showed no svmptoms of
fright (as in such instances they are corn.
monly reported to do) at the approach of
the storm, except those which may readily
be accounted for by the great noise and
the descent of the unusual hail and rain.
BURLINGTON; lowa. May 24.—Not far
from Washington town is the most acces
sible scene ot• disaster, Here the storm
swooped down upon some dozen houses,
the residence of wealthy farmers, and
swept them from the face of the earth, as
if with the bosom or destruction. Mr.
Cuuttiogitam's house and barn were
blown into splinters and carried away, but
the storm compensated for the theft by a
shower of shivered wood, boards and raf
. ters, which fell in the fields, and, sticking
there, made the firm look like a fretful
porcupine. There was but little imagina
tion required to make one believe that he
stood it Agincourt, Creey,•or Flodden, on
a battle-ground where the terrible cloth
yard shafts of the archers had fallen thick
as hail. Some of these fragments were
embedded in two feet of clay, sad defied
the strength of man to remove them. Old
farmers say that in some localities it will
be impossible to proceed with cultivation
until these cumberers of the ground shall
have rotted. Many of these rude darts
bore their billet, fbr hogs were found pier
ced in vital parts, and several fewls were
• fpund pinned to the ground by these shafts
• hot by the archers of the air. Some of
the fowls were found dead with hut few
feathers upon them, the feathers would be
chafed off while the birds were whirled
about in storm amid the myriads of abrad
ing substances.
There were four persons in the house—
women and children—who were only
slightly injured, thouck the wind took the
house away and sucked them out of the
cellar in which they-had taken refuge. To

of the trunk went one way; part of the
chest, the stomach end one arm another ;
the other arm and the head, neck and a
fragment of the bust. were found a long
distance from the other ghastly relics of
humanity... .
The total loss is variously estimated in
money at $175,000 to $300,000, including
thirty-five houses, 1,200 sheep, 2,500
hogs, 100 head of cattle, 40 horses, and

Captain Jack, The Modoc Murderer
a High-toned Native of Kentucky.
It is at this time currently reported in
this community, and by many believed,
that Capt. Jack, the celebrated Modoc
Chief, is a son Capt. Jack Chambers, a
native and formerly a well known citizen
of the western part of this county. In
support of this belief, the following facts
are given: About the year 1845-6 a party
of emigrants, made up of citizens of Frank
lin county and other parts of Kentucky,
went to California on a fortune-seeking ex
pedition. With this party went Capt.
Jack Chambers, a bold, daring man, who,
though a full-blooded white man, possess
ed many of the characteristics, physical as
well as me?tal and moral, of an Indian
brave. On reediting California, the party
gradually broke up and scattered, but it
was well known, and so reported by all
those who subsequently returned to Ken
tucky, that Capt Jack Chambers fell in
with Modocs Indians, married the daugh
tar of their head chief, at whose death he
(Capt. Chambers) succeeded to the chief
tainship by election, and so continued to
the day of his death, only a few years ago.
It is also said that, after living with the
Mottoes some years, lie became so much
like tho rest of the warriors of that tribe,
both in speech and general physique, that
the closest observer never suspected that
he was other than a full blooded Indian.
Besides, the Captain himself favored the
delusion ; and hence it is that we see it
stated in all the sketches of '•Capt. Jack,"
the present Modoe chief, that he is the
son of a full-blooded chief of that tribe.
In fact, this was the general belief of all
the Indian traders and agents who ever
came in contact with this tribe. At the
time of his joining the Modocs, Capt. Jack
Chambers was between thirty-five and forty
years of age. Previous to his emigration
to California, however, he had volunteer
ed in the war for the independence of
Texas, where lie 'distinguished himself as
a brave soldier and capital officer. It is
an interesting and remarkable fact in his
personal history that he was one of a flan
ily of twenty-four children—twenty-one
sons and three daughters—all of whom
grew to maturity, most of whom are still
living, and nearly all of whom were re
markable for physical qualities closely re
sembling those of the higher types of Amer
ican Indians.
A GREAT HOR DONE ORR AWAY
WlTlL—Bouse cleaning is a great horror
to nine men out of every ten. When that
time comes the "men folks," as a rule, give
the domestio hearth a "wide berth."
Oceans of suds—the product of tons of
snap—fairly gond every part of the house.
Thp woman, from the mistress down, la
bor as they never worked before, and what•
with the disoomfort, the smell of suds and
the dampness, and not unfrequently sick
ness, the product of colds and overwork,
matters are generally disagreeable. The
simple use of Sapolio instead of soap does
away with all this discomfort. It lightens
the labor a hundred per cent. becanse it
removes dirt, grease, stains and spots, with
hardly any labor, with but little water, and
in one tegth the usual time.
