Yea, What About the West.

N. Y. World. We find in Scribner’s Magazine for August a poem beginning with this passionate inquiry: out of the West what word. What word out of the West? Such a wild thirst for Western news ought to be gratified, but the West has been very quiet since'the mercury stood at 120 in the Bhade. The second stanza of the poem begins with the lines: Out of the West this word. This word out of the West. Then follows some rather uninteresting information which cannot properly rank aa news. However, the West, which la yawning for a Presidential visit, is a good subject for~ poetry if properly worked up.
