eight to twenty-four hours ahead of the
Chicago papers; because in all the essen
tial requirements of a First Glass News

local wants and intcretts of the Upper

confines them to newspapers of the first
class.

eight-pagep paper in the West which has
its leaves cut and pasted by machinery
a feature which adds greatly to the con
venience of the readcf, and the value OF
the inside pages.

No intelligent family in Minnesota or
in the Northwest, which does not take
the Daily, can afford to do without the
WEEKLY PIONEER PRESS. No
other Weekly in the State
with it in the extent, completeness. va
riety and interest of its news and read
ing matter, and no Weekly published
outside OF the State is adapted like tho
Pioneer Press to the local wants and in
terests of Minnesota and adjacent States
and Territories.
In addition to the general features of
a newspaper and family journal, its full
and accurate MARKET reports Of st. Paul.
Minneapolis. Milwaukee, Chicago. and
all great grain and produce centres, and
its FARM and SrocK department, edited
by a leading agricultural writer of long

The Work in Congress.

Our branch of Congress- as the House
Of REPRESENTATIVES. is popularity known
with the people, has, for the first time
in years, begun that which Buckle tells
us is the only good work legislators ever
do, to repeal the bad laws enactr" 'y
the predecessors in office.
THE silver bill and the repeal of the
RESUMPTION Act are the topics Of lrg>la-
tion which now engroSs attention, not
ONLY in the Halls of Congress, but III
every village and hamlet in the Ian"
The bin dr1nonctizng silver passed IN
der the gag law in the Republican Con-
rrrss of 1873. was one of the most out
rarcous and fragrant violations OF the
r;rhts of the masses ever prrprtrat'd;
and was 80 clearly in the interests OF the
! RIM of bond holders, as to have met III
every election since, the most stubborn
and emphatic Remuneration OF the rc'-
u)c. This hill the Democratic House
true to constituents and pledges. have
repealed by a vote Of l6S to a. 1t is
before the the Senate for their concur
rance, with every hope of their doing So
In the meantime, the money power
comes to Washington from New York
Boston, and other Eastern cities to rro-
test ayaint a measure not one OF them
can say is not Of vital benefit to tn" PEI"

are moving heaven and earth to defeat
the will of the masses. 1t seems that
President Hayes has not given then
that attention which they have h'ret"
fore commanded and we have every
assurance of the final success OF thu
measure.
The repeal of the Resumption Act l.
now under discussion, and will pass thu

These twin measures, with new ant

of great benefit to the entire country
and there consequences will he ut once

Standing armies are standing menac"s
to popular liberty, and they are totally
inconsistent with republican ideas. 1t
makes no difference about the size of the
army, it is the principle ofth thing that
is incompatible with our views of ~ Re-
public. We remember that last year, a
single regiment qnartered by Grant at
the Capitol, ovcrawel tie whole Ameri-
can people, who were sufficient in mum
bers, it is true, to have destroyed the
regiment.
English liberty as now exercised and
boosted of, was secured long before the
DAYS of her standing army. Had it been
in existance when Hampdcn, Pylnm, and
Cromwell, made their successful effort.
"English liberty" would not be a thing OF
pride as it is to-day. France gains and
then loses her liberties as she puts down
and builds mp her National Guard. When
these citizen soldiers are replaced by
regulars a comp detat follows certain, and
some one rides to power on the bayonets
of the standing army, and upon the ruins
of the liberties Of Frenchmen.
America wants no standing army she
wants none at all. Her State Militia is
far better, both as a principl', and as
soldiers. The "frontier protection" why
Indian forays and Mexican raids are
simply augmented by United States
troops who, on the frontiers, are tho
laughing stock of both Indians, Mexicans
Dcspcrados aud the Rangers. An Indian
cares no more for q regular soldier thar
for a wooden man; it's only the frontier
Ranger and Indian hunter that he breads
Let the government pay the frontier
States to protect their frontiers, and there
will DO no more Indian wars. Disban'
the army and encourage pride i'll STATE
Militia organizations, that will not onl!
protect us from foreign foes, but from a,
enemy more to be dreaded, the home
ambitious tyrant.

A Coed Constitution.


the people and not as a profit to oth
cials is what Louisiana must and Will
have. In that organic law these
points must be made strong.
lst. That all power is vested in and
consequently derived from the PEG"
p}e: that officials are their trustees,
and are at all times answerab'c to
them.
81. That the object of a const'tu-
ton is to organize a government; pre-
scribing the nature and extent Of the
powers delegated By the people to the
several departments thereof.
3l. Pcrpctuties and m"nopolies are
contrary to the genius of a republic
and they shall not be allowed, nor
shall they exist within the State.
4th. That the enumeration of the
rights of the people or oftlosc powers
they delegate to their servants, shall
not be construed to deny any right re-
tanned by them. All powers not spe-
cialIy delegated arc retained 10y the
people. All powers are excepted ont
of the general powers of the Govern
ment which are not therein specially
mentioned, and all laws passed con-
trary thereto or to the provisions con-
tanned in the Constitution shall be ip-
so fucto null and void.
9Th. The exercise of the ballot is a
high pririle9e rot a human right, and
no person should be permitted to ex
erciSc that privilege without having
paid poll tax for the support of the
public schools of at least $3.50 per
year.
9th. No person should lie permitted
to hold an office of honor, profit OF
trust under the State Government
unless lie be fully qualified by educa'
ton and moral character for the posi-
ton he aspires to.
9TH. No person should he allowed
to sit upon jury who cannot read
and write the English language.
sth.. The sacrcdness of the ballot
box should be guarded with care.
9th. Every salary should be redu'
ced to the lowest amount necessary tC
retain good servants, and every office
not necessary should be abolished
viz: 1t. Governor, District Judges
Coroners, Recorders, Tax Collector:
and Assessors, and the Supreme Bencl
made a court of law only, with three
Judges. The Senate to be reduced
to thirty members and tho Legislature
to one from each parish and one from
each district in New Orleans. And
10th. The Capitol removed to Ba
ton Rouge.
These are part of the strong guard
the people demand, which it would b
folly to suppose could be passed o
adopted by amendments. A Consti
stitutional Convention is the onl,
mode of procedure, and with a Con
stitution embracing such salien
points as we have named would leav
the State in no condition for the ad
vent of Warmoth and his crowd.
