Upon every one of the applications for expediting and increasing the service on these routes I think it will be found that my name is entered as approving. indorsing. and urging the Department to do what has been done. I went day after day at the demand of my constituents. believing I was discharging a duty that I owed to them and to the country. and urged this expedited service and theseinoreases of trips. and I propose. so far as I am concerned. to take the fullresponsibility of it. and I believe it has been (lone not jn violation of law. but in perfect accordance with the law. and demanded by the necessities and the wants of the people. There has been an emigration to the West withinthe last two years. within the last year indeed. unusual. Awitness before this committee the other day said that the emigration into the mining regions of the West has been more in the last year and a half than in the preceding ten years altogether. Is no provision to be made for those people? Who are they. and from whence have they come I They are from New England and from New York and from the South. from all portions of the country who go out there to make a home and to build up States. and they have lost none of their rights because they haver been. unfortunately perhaps. compelled to leave the endearments of home and the luxuries of the East and go out in the West to rough it.
