Going to Heaven.

We extract and commend heartily the
following from the funeral sermon OF
Mamie Stevens, the murdered child-wife,
preached by Rev. DR.. Thomas, Method
ist clergyman at Chicago. There is much
in the religion of the day as taught by
crack Drained ministers that is repulsive,
but nothing is more rcpulsivc than the
idea that the moral man who does not ac
cept all of the teachings of the Bible must
suffer eternal punishment, while tits only
necessary for the murderer to repent just
before execution, in order to enter
into all of the joys of the blessed. 1t is
better to teach that virtue, even. in q
heather, will receive its proper reward
and that the reverse will surely bring dis
tress here, and probably in the hereafter.
DR.. Thomas said:
According to the popular conception
and teaching, there is but little or any
hope in the future for this murdered wife
cut off without moments warning or
time fol- preparation for death. But the
husband-the murderer-can go to Jail,
and after six weeks, die happy ON the gal
lows, and go straight to heaven. There is
something wrong in this teaching. The
atonement is no such thing that a murder
ar can send his victim to hell forever, and
he turn around and walk into heaven. 1t
is sin against good morals to teach such
things If man sins he must suffer. 1
have no faith in saving men without char
acters; and this thing Of sending criminals
to heaven after few weeks Of almost forced
repentance is hurting the morals of the
community; it is almost a premium on
crimc.'

The Only Fair and Impartial
RufH>afA

The Deadwood Times in an article head.
ed the Black Hills in politics says. THE
Bismarck TRIBUNE of the 2Sth ult contains
large amount of editorial matter relating
to the Black Hills, which is presented in
Col. Lounsberry's best and most attractive
style. Our political, mineral and moral
status are referred to and in q way that
make his scriticisms and suggestions worthy
of note. ..
Under the above heading in discussing
our politics he says: "Erom a recent can.
vass of the Black Hills district the writer
knows that the republicans Of that section
earnestly desire to work in harmony with
the republicans of the territory, and that
they are disposed to sustain the nominee
of the republican convention if spirit Of
fairness is indulged by the committee max.
ing the call and by the nominating conven.
ton"
This reflects the sentiments ofthe TINES
uttered about two monts ago. We were
the first to take that position, and in doing
so we were entirely satisfied that we roper.
sented the sentiment of the re.
publicans in the Black Hills. Their de.
mands are not unreasonable nor antsgonis
tic to other portions Of tho territory,
and all they have sought and asked was to
be treated fairly.
The TRIBUNE comedies that at the elec-
ton last fall about six thousand votes were
polled in the Hills, and thinks that at the
election in November the ''three counties
in the Hills, will poll as large vote as
the entire territory polled two years ago.
This is correct estimate of the vote of
the Hills and the c'Iy fair and impartial
one made by any paper in the territory,
other than tie Times that we have seem"

To Get out rDebt.

To young man in debt, Benjamin
Franklin gave the following advice: Make
full estimate of all you owe, and all that
is owing to you. Reduce the same to note.
AS fast as you collect, pay over to those
you owe. If you cannot, renew your note
every year, and get the best security you
can't Go to business diligently and be in
dustrious, waste no idle moments; be very
economical in all. things, discard all pride; !;
be faithful 10 your God. by regular and
hearty prayer morning and night; attend
church and meeting regularly every Sun
day; and do unto all men as you would
they should do unto you. Ifyou are too
needy in circumstances to give tothe poor,
do whatever else is in your power to do
cheerfully. But if you can, help the poor
and unfortunate. Pursue this course dill.
gently and sincerely for seven years, and
If you are not happy, comfortable and in
dependent in your circumstances, como to
me and will pay your debts.

Republie.n Conxe.tion.

Elsewhere appears the call for a repub
lican territorial convention. We are moi
informed as to the basis adopted by the
committee in making tbe Gull but believe
they honestly tried to make q just appor.
tionmcnt There were many difficulties
in the way and after all points were con.
sidered the committee was finally forced,
no doubt, to rely on estimates as to the
relative strength of the party in the sever
al portions of the territory. While we are
not entirely satisfied with the result, be-
lieving, aswe do, that 4 majority of the
voters in the territory reside in Northern
Dakota and the Black Hills, we do believe
it to be the duty of every republican to
stand by he'committee, and to abide the
action of the convention.
There are cases, no doubt, where an in
creased representation should be given.
This is probably true of Richland and
Grand Forks counties, in the Red River
valley, and perhaps Of several others, and
Morton county should be given two dele
gates, but these questions should be brought
before the convention and we believe they
will be fairly met and that proper conces-
sions will be made. This course was adopt
ed four years ago, and two years ago, and
the result was satisfactory, and we have
reason to believe the party today is as
honestly disposed as it was then, and that
localities aggrieved will have no just cause
for com plant if this course is adopted.
Though not present with the committee,
as member of the committee the writer
placed his views before them fully, and
though not wholly satisfied with the rep
resentation conceded to Northern Dakota
and the Black Hills az compared with that
allowed Southern Dakota he does not wish
his name withdrawn from the call. Ad-
mitting that the committee aimed TO be
just VIC insist that it seems hard for South
ern Dakota people TO understand the stu
alton in the Hills. They cannot believe
that the Hills will poll more than one
third of the votes cast at the next general
election, nor can they realize that North
ern Dakota is settling even more rapidly
than Sourthern Dakota. They forget that
Cass county, organized only six years ago,
is today the wealthiest county in the ter
ritory. They cannot realize that Richland
and Grand Forks counties have more than
trcbled their population within the past
two years.
But we can meet in convention and claim
whatever in addition we are entitled to.
OF course it is barely possible that we in
Northern Dakota do not fully realize the
rapid development Of Southern Dakota,
therefore We should accept the situation
and make the best of it. 1t won't do to
kick, for kickers never prosper. Boiling
should not be thought of, for though bolt
ing may seem to give success, in the end
it brings disaster to localities as we'll as to
individuals.
