Our laws now in a wretched condition. The same
laws in force in counties in the State The
system FIRST commenced by exemptng certain counties
from the operation of certain general laws and it has
even been extended townships. All laws should be
uniform in their operation throughout the State the peo-
pie then understand and will respect them Com
Panes should be Incorporated with special privileges

The rights and of minors should not be left
the mercy Of local legislation.
We hold that roads may be made churches built, man.

laws, of which all may avail themselves without let
hindrance. Equal rights and equal Justice should be
the aim and end of all legislation. The people want
few, plain, and simple laws and those laws faithfully ad
ministered.

Magic cesius, wondrops spell,
Winning, wildsring, witching Love.
Hope and Memory. fear and thought,
Joy AMI sorrow, care and pain,
AL mysterously inwroughi
Are the linklets of thy chain.
Strong as life, and strong as death,
Yet as fragile flower,
Zen a word, a look, breath,
May forever break thy power.
OF thy presence none may know,
Till the fetier of thy wings
wakcns music, soft and low,
From the hearis most silent strings.
Syren fair, for thee, erewhile,
Deeds Of valor have been done;
For the the guerdon of thy smile
empires have been lost and won
ThraIled by thee, the angels fell
From the bright Eiysian bowers,
Ftom the plains Of Heaven to dwell
In this dreary world OF ours.
With thy soui-enchairing arts
Thou dost lead Us willing slaves;
Slaves, with letters ON our hearts,
From our cradles to our graves.
Slaves, that sigh not TO be free
Slaves, that pine when thou hast flown;
For this werld, unclaimed by thee,
Is desert, dark and lone.
