le, and rapid means of communication, and until these are provided the development of our trade with the states lying south of us is impossible. Our pension laws should give more adequate and discriminating relief to the Union soldiers and sailors and to their widows and orphans. Such occasions as this should remind us that we owe everything to their valor and sacrifice. It is a subject of congratulation that there is a near prospect of the admission into the Union of the Dakotas and Montana and Washington Territories. This act of justice has been unreasonably deplayed in the case of some of them.

Heaps of slack mark the mouths of the old coal banks in Pennsylvania and central Ohio; but ever-widening coalfields are opened up in Illinois, in the Indian Territory, in the Dakotas, and in Montana.

The abundance of God's gifts of fuel has brought about one of the weakest elements in Western character—the indifference to the filth and squalor of a smokeladen atmosphere. The first condition of health and decency is cleanliness, and nobody can keep clean in any Western city. As a question of
