Much has been said about the cele
brated Warehouse bill which was before
the Legislature last winter, by the pro-
vision of which the Elevator Companies
were restricted 10 the amount OF their
charges for receiving aud storing wheat.
The Attorney General, Mr.. Sloan, gave
an opinion adverse to the constitutional
iiy of the bill, upon which the Milodu-
kee Sentinel took his "generalship" to
task in a very severe manner. w here
upon Mr.. Attorney General sued the
Sentinel for libel, laying his damages
at only one hundred thousand dollars.
But this fact has nothing whatever to
do with the merits of the bill.
Lesser lights than the Sentinel and
the Attorney General have also been
ventilating this subject, and among
them are the True Republican, the
Star e Times and the Democrat. For
wonder the True Republican, and the
Star Dc Times ara well nigh agreed
this time, but the latter draws it very
mildly. The Democrat is sour, bitter,
caustic-very. The True Republican
retorts, calling the editor Of the Demo.
crdt that ''great legal lumipary," etc.
Nor do these facts have any thing to
do with the merits of the bill. Yet
they are matter Of political history,
hence we note them.
We are of the opinion that the bill
possessed intrinsic merit, and ought t.
have become law. We are also of
the opinion that 1t is the business Of
the Supreme Court to pass upon the
constitution'lity of the law, aud not
that Of the Attorney General. But We
see 10 use IN quarreling over dead
issue The people must endure the
eKtortion of the Elevator Comp,nles
till suchtime as legislature can be con-
vened that will como to their relief.

success i'm Life.

Nothing is more common than to
hear men complain that the chances of
success lessen every day; that every
avenue of bushes is over-crowded, and
unless man be perfect Hercules of
taleat, he is elbowed out OF the way aud
prevented from getting on" in life, to
langnish IN obscurity aud pine in neg.
lect, TO grow old, in short, before his
time. and die at last Of disappointment
and heart sickness. Undoubtedly there
are many instances in which society is
to blame, many5sad instances of capaci-
~ o. erlooked, and talents slighted; but
the complaint, as a general thing, is
falls ADD foolish, and the evil is in the
CON. Amer and not in the society.
Men often miscaIcuiate their own pow
ers and mistake their line The speech

he made his money, iu the answer to
all such railerS against society. Sir
said he, II understood my business aud
attended to it. aud if l were poor again
Tomorrow, | could commence as an ash
man and make a fortune if God spared
me life and health to work" A knowl-
edge of our own capacities, and fixed
and steady aim, in short, steadiuess of

the conditions OF success, aud almost in
variably demand it.
