THE SUPREME! WEST, REV. THOMAS DBCOI$ JR., ON "THE PROPHECIES OF THE FAIR." The first of m Kew Series of Sermons by tbe Eloquent Mew York Divine-Dawn of the Day of Western Domination In America. NEW YOBS* Nov. 5.-r Rev? .Tilomas Dixon. Jr.. began a new series of ser? mons in Association ball this morning. Tae subject of the new series he gives as "The Prophecies of the World's Fair.** He will discuss in this the bearing of the great exposition upon tue questions of "The Supremacy of the West.*" "The Re ligion of the Future," "The "Futrare of the Sabbath In America** and -'The Kew Seligion of Industry," among other things. His theme for this morning's discourse waa "Western Supremacy.** He de? clared that the location of the fair at Chicago and its triumphant management by that city was one of the most signifi? cant events in our national history and was prophetic of a new era in our na? tional Ufe. The reasons for this success, he said, were due to the youth, strength, matchless enterprise and exhanstfess re? sources of the great west. He predicted that the west in the near future would surely dominate American life, political, social and economic. He urged the broadest patriotism in meeting this situ? ation, in anticipating the threatened dangers of sectionalism, materialism and ?theism. The text chosen was from Rev? elation Tri, 1, "And I saw a new earth.** The location of the great Columbian exposition at Chicago and its triumphant piarmfng- and management by her people is one of the most significant events in the history of America. Three years ago I spent the summer in Chicago and smiled with incredulity as I saw them fling across one of the great thoroughfares a banner on which w is in? scribed the audacious words, "Headquar? ters World's Columbian Exposition, Chi? cago, 1892.~ -I had just moved to New York. It seemed to me preposterous that any sane man could believe for a minute that this big, rude western town could get that fair, if New York, with *ier 3,000,000 people, the metropolis of the new world and gateway of two worlds, should but nod her majestic head and indicate a willingness to take it and manage it. SHE CAME, SAW AND CONQUERED. I did not know New York as well then asl know it now. While poor old Father Knickerbocker was nibbing his rheu? matic legs and powdering his wig and adjusting his spectacles to see what all tile foss was about, the young giantess of the west gathered Washington in her arms. She came, she saw, she conquered! And old Knickerbocker is still rubbing his legs and wondering how it ^ppened. The plain truth is the location of the ex position at Chicago and its marvelous success is the sure prophecy of a new America whose center of power can only be the west. And the reasons which make this prophecy a practical certainty are the same reasons that made its loca? tion a foregone conclusion from the day the lines of battle were first drawn. First-Youth. It is the old story of triumphant yoong manhood versus de crepid traditions. America isa young country, and yet, strange to say, the At- ; lanti c states are actually today bedridden with old world rheumatism. On all save the forms of government we not only make ourselves ridiculous in the effort to ape the life of the old world, but we .do more. In the effort to hitch on some? how, somewhere to the past, we make -oar life the junkshop of the old world, and treasure as a priceless inheritance ideas and traditions long ago cast off by 'the better part of the old world as worse than useless. The young west carries no such bag ?age Here is growing the real spirit of the America! nation. Here we find our seal weakness and real strength. The west is peopled with young men. It is managed by young men. All her men are yoong. They never grow old. They die yoong. ! Men with silvered hair move with the j boundless vitality of yooth. Traditions as traditions do not bind. Men do not ask what the fathers did. ; They simply ask. Is the thing a possible j human achievement? . THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH. They go at it. It's done. For the first time in the history of the j world a great people in a great country, j with laws incarnating their aspirations ; and flexible to their expansion, have j flung themselves into the gigantic strug- j gie of the race. The battles of the j world have all been fought by the > strength of youth. We behold in this j rising power yooth in all its audacity, its enthusiasm, its faiths, its power, plunge with defiant spirit into the thick? est of the world's battle with nature. It was this force with which the older sec? tions of the nation collided in the strug? gle for the exposition. The manner in which it was taken and handled after taken gives some idea as to the center of gravity of national life. And the fact is of greater importance for what it prom ins than what it is now. Second-Strength. Youth implies strength. It may be in the promise. It may be in the actual attainment. In ' this case we have the strength developed, j We have displayed here a matchless j physical prowess. Chicago, with her j 1,000,000 inhabitants, her wealth, power j and resources, is scarcely 50 years old, to I reckon from her earliest beginnings, to j say nothing of her baptism of fire and i her new birth into a cradle of charred [ timbers, with ashes for her covering, j This display she has made to the world is a miracle of strength. That there is j mingled with this a boundless "ctwek** ! goes without saying. *Bnt wha^ said of poSwsv Call & cheek, caU it assur aace||piiio^ it wfiS^o may, it is a power^gies most reckon in FldfrmWWWIIlWl m 1 iwipiragpf?s service by simple cheek, lt is said that themeda! the inscription: "To Cbateau-Renaud, from Larrie tine. Conrageoos service in the can: of order, 1848." Chatean-?enapd's service was this: J February, 1848, when the French cap tal was in the throes of revolution, mob surrounded the Hotel de Ville an menaced the deliberations of the assen bly, which was sitting within. At the Theater Historique, whei ?hateau-Renaud happened to be, i heard of the turmoil, and a brig! thought came to him. He put on tl costume of a Representative of thepe< p?e in the year 1793. Then he hunte up an old white horse, mounted it, an with a small crowd at his heels rod straight to tbe Hotel de Ville an through the mob which was shoutin about its doors. Dismounting he went into the hal where Lamartine was presiding. "Citizens." he shouted, "deliberate i peace! No one shall come in while I a; herer. He went out and remounted his whit horse, and no one did come in. On fantastically attired man, with a terribl 'countenance, had completely overawec the crowd, which probably would hav defied successfully a regiment of soldiers When to a matchless assurance ther is added the strength to back it np to th last, we have a resistless combination o forces. Nor is this strength in any sense ; matter of the imagination. It is a physi ological fact. The west is giving to the world for th first time the composite man. Here we have the mingling of all pee pies, races, kindred and tongues fron the uttermost limits of the earth in th fertile womb of Anglo-Saxon national ity. Out of this mingling, with the proc?s of time and culture, must come the im perial manhood of the twentieth cen tury. The west in the breadth of its human itarian spirit is already giving evidence of the world breathing into its nature, When faraway frozen Russia was starv ing, it was the young west that lifted first her keen eye and strained it across the seas, and turning with tears of sym? pathy sent flour and grain and meat on a mission of love as high as God an ! as broad as humanity. "THE BIGGEST THING OS EARTH." Third-Exhaustless resources. The vastness of the fair is symbolic not so much of the nation as of the west. It L> the inimitable incarnation of the west? ern ideal-"the biggest thing on earth." Conscious that they have the biggest and richest country on the globe, anything that stands for it must be the biggest. Their boast is not an idle one. It is a solemn reality. It may be a more sol? emn one to us in the future. Let ns turn just here to Dr. Strong's review of this western empire to refresh our minds upon the subject: Of the 22 states and territories west of the Mississippi only three are as small as all New England. Montana would stretch from Bos? ton on the east to Cleveland on tho west, and extend far enough south to include Richmond. Idaho, if laid down in the east, would touch Toronto on the north and Raleigh on the south, while its southern boundary line is long enough to stretch from Washington city to Columbus, 0., and California, if on our Atlan? tic seaboard, would extend from the southern line of Massachusetts to the lower part of South Carolina: or, in Enrope. it would extend from London across France and well ' into Spain. New Mexico is larger than the United Kingdom of Great . Britain and Ireland. The greatest measurement of Texas ls nearly equal to the distance from New Orleans to Chicago or from Chicago to Boston, Lay Tex? as on the face of Europe, and this giant, with his head resting on the mountains of Norway, directly east of the Orkney islands, with one palm covering London, the other Warsaw, would stretch himself down across the king? dom of Denmark, across the empires of Ger. many and Austria, across northern Italy, and lave his feet in the Mediterranean. Dakota might be carved Into a half dozen kiivdoms of Greece, or. if it were divided into 26 equal coun? ties, we might lay down the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel in each. Place the 50,000,000 inhabitants of the United States-in ISSU all in Texas, and the population would not be as dense as tliat of Germany. Put them in Dakota, and the population would not be aa den?e as that of England and Wales.' Placo them in New Mexico and the density pf population would not be as great as that of Belgium. Those 50,000,000 might all be com? fortably sustained in Texas. After allowing, say, 50,0M0 square miles for "desert," Texas could have produced all our food crops in 1879 -grown, as we have seen, on 164,215 square miles of land-could have raised the world's supply of cotton, 12,030,00!) bales, at one bale to the acre, on 19.000 square miles, and then have had remaining for a cattle range a territory larger than the state of New York. Accounting all of Minnesota and Louisiana west of the Mississippi, for convenience, we have, according to the census of 1880.2,115.135 square miles in the west and 851,865 in the east -that is, for every acre east of the Mississippi we have nearly 2?? west of it. THE WEST'S WONDERFUL WEALTH. The great deserts, so called, of the west have either proved a fiction or are being rapidly transformed by irrigation into some of the richest garden spots of the earth. Mr. Strong continues: Nor have we finished our inventory of west? ern wealth. Its mineral resources are simply inexhaustible. The precious metals have been found in most of the states and territories o. our western empire. From the discovery of gold to June 30, 1881, California has produced $1,170.000,OUU of that metal. The annual prod? uct is now from $18,000,000 to $25,000,00U. From | 1863 to 1880 Idaho produced ?90.000.uou of gold and silver, and Montana, from 1861 to 1879, not less than $162,000,000. In 2? years Nevada pro? duced $448.545,000 of the precious metals. The production of Colorado during the 24 years pre? ceding 1883 was $167,00O.0UU. Her output for 1882 was $27.000,000. In wealth producing power a single rich mine represents a great area ol' arable land. For in? stance, the Comstock lode in 1877 produced $37,062,252. Those 12 insignificant looking holes in the side of the mountain yielded more wealth that year than 3,890,0UU acres planted to . corn the same year-that is. those few squaro i rods on the surface in Nevada were as large as : all the cornfields of New England, New York, 1 Pennsylvania. Michigan, Wisconsin and Min? nesota collectively. Rocky mountain wealth, penetrating thousands of feet into the earth, compensates for large areas of barren surface. The agricultural resources of a country do not i now, as formerly, determine its possible popu- i latina. Today easy transportation makes regions j populous and wealthy which once were unin? habitable. Even if a blade of grass could not be made to grow in all the Rocky mountain , atajea that region could sustain 100,000,000souls, j pjojrided it has aufficieat mineral wealth toex chaoge for the produce of the Mississippi valley Quartz minas have been known in the Roc t?as tot ;rears which could not be worked without heavy machinery-' The Inner chambers ot Gal's gnat granite safe?, where ?? silver and tc& have been stored for age? to enrich thia : gration, are fastened with time locks set for the advent of the railway.

THE NEW MASTER OF AMERICA. What can limit the future of th young nation, with its coming imperil manhood, with its exhaustless resonrc< of mountain and plain? The precious metals are but one itei in the catalogue of the mineral treasure of a vast empire. Its agricultural pow? is beyond competition. Who can set limit to its achievement? The conclusion is simple. The west to dominate this continent. It is time that we recognized this fa< and faced it squarely. It should be re< ognized with the broadest patriotism an fraternal helpfulness. It is God's country. It is our com try. It is our nation. These are on people, our kindred and friends, ou brothers and sisters. It is not a subjec for bickering and jeal msy. It is a trun pet call to Christian citizenship. It i the trumpet call of God to his church t possess the land and save it in his name It is time for the Christian citizen t sing with a new and broader meaning: My country, 'tis of thee. Sweet land of liberty. Of thee I sing. It is an hour when we must guar against the curse of sectionalism by th cultivation of the broadest and mos helpful nationalism. And there is dar ger just now of narrow jealousy am petty hatreds based on sectional ?line obscuring our political horizon. Sucl issues cannot Uve. We are one. W are one, and the union was sealed wit] the blood of a half million heros. Th glories of the west should be the pridt of +he east. And with western patriot: we must, join our hands and hearts ant money to stamp out all provincialism all foreign traditionalism, that wouh seek through foreign tongue or broad ex pause to separate us. We are one. it i? the decree of nature. It is the voice o: God. It is the hope of humanity. THE DANGER OF MONEY MAKING. Let us pour our men and our monej into this looming western empire. Lei us build here the greatest institutions o: learning. Let us build here our strang est churches. We must stem the tide o) materialism that, through the very chai lenge of the abundance of nature's re sources, would obscure the* spirit of na? ture back of what we see. There is danger that the people of the west shall go mad with money making. This is the tendency. As they go, thc nation of the future goes. It is the trumpet call for the second iran, whom Carlyle said he called great: A second man I honor, and still more highly -him who is seen toiling for the spiritually in? dispensable, not for daily bread, but the bread of life. Is not he, too, in his dnty endeavoring toward inward harmony, revealing this by act or by word through all his outward endeavors, be they high or low-highest of all, when his outward and his inward endeavor are one, when we can name him artist, not earthly craftmen only, but inspired thinker, who with heaven made implement conquers heaven for us? If the poor and humble toil that we have food, must not the high and glorious toil for him in return that he have light, have guid? ance, freedom, immortality? These two in all their degrees I honor. All else is chaff and dust, which let the wind blow whither it list eth. Shall we not strive with the solemnest sense of responsibility to answer this call? Else we in turn must be crushed by the vastness of the empire we have al? lowed to grow without sympathy and help and guidance. THE ELEPHANT'S DEADLY FOOT. In India they used to have a curious form of execution, especially used for those who had committed the crime of treason. The condemned was executed by an elephant. One of these ponderous beasts was trained to place his giant foot upon the head of the victim, and spring? ing forward crush his skull like an egg? shell We can take our choice. With giant de? velopment grow giant vices. We must develop giant forces for good or be crushed iii the end. Dr. Strong's prophecy of western su? premacy in 1885 seemed to us then rath? er farfetched. He said: Beyond a peradventure the west 'is to domi? nate the east. When Texas is as densely peo? pled as Nev/ England, it is Jiardly to be sup? posed her millions will be content to sec the 62,000 square miles east of the Hudson send 12 senators to the seat of government, while her territory of 262,000 sends only two. The west will direct the policy of the government, and by virtue of her preponderating population and influence will determine our national charac? ter and. therefore, destiny. The world's scepter passed from Persia to Greece, from Greece to Italy, from Italy to Great Britain, and from Great Britain the scepter is today departing. It is passing on to "Greater Britain," to our mighty west, there to remain, for there is no further west; beyond is the orient. Like the star in the east which guided the three kines with their treasures westward until at length it stood still over the cradle of the young Christ, so the star of em? pire, rising in the east, has ever beckoned the wealth and power of the nations westward until today it stands still over the cradle of the young empire of the west, to which the nations are bringing their offerings. The west today is an infant, but shall one day Le a giant, in each of whose limbs shall unite the strength of many nations. These seemed very strong words in? deed then. But, standing before the triumphant arch of the great exposition at Chicago, we must recognize the fact that we are actually entering upon the dominion of that new kingdom. Murder Will Oat. Joseph Evans, a sailor, was arraigned in Liverpool last week on his own con? fession that he had murdered a shipmate of the name of Charles Boyle in New Or? leans five years ago. According to his story he and Boyle had a quarrel on board the ship Discovery at New Orle? ans, and he threw Boyle overboard. The body was subsequently found in the Mis? sissippi river, but there was no suspicion at the time that he had met his death by foul means, and the affair was forgotten until Evans confessed that it was he who had caused Boyle's death. Evans was remanded for trial.,-London Dispatch. Grand lake's Monster. A huge sea monster has been repeat? edly seen in Grand lake, Minnesota, a re? sort about 12'miles west of St. Cloud.
