These are the gentlemen who compos'
the legislature to assemble Tomorrow ant
who are to crea.e the record of Legislative
doings for the session of 1879. In point o
intelligence they compare favorably will
any previous body of law makers which
has met at the capital Of Dakota and We
cannot but expect from them a course Of
legislation which will be directed by WIS
dom and governed by good judgment
There is 9 vast amount of practical gooc
sense in the composition of this organiza
ton, which can never go astray in thu
work of legislation. unless it be unduly in
fluenced by the local prejudices of the con
sisteucy behind it. A man elected TO maxi
laws for the whole people can best accom-.
plish his mission by keeping in view th'
fact that it is not for himself or his neigh.
borhood alone that he is placed ut the sea
of government, but for the common goot
of those who compose the whole. There
are measures of local importance which
will command the labors of individual
members and which should, as q rule. be
controlled by those who represent the To-
calilies to be affected by their enactment OF
noD.enactment. There are other measures,
local, perhaps, their nature, but some
what general in their effect, and in operat.
ing upon these their bearing upon the ter.
ritory at large will need to be considered
and the greatest good to the greatest mum.
Der made the guide TO final action. The
adoption of a cod,fica,ion Of the general
laws of Dakota by the last legislature has
left a clean field for those who are TO begin
their duties to -morrow. The statutes are
before hem iu condensed form and their
provisions stand without any amendment
thereto. Generally they have given salts.
faction and it is not expected that 1t will be
materially altered. There is much In the
way of sectional legislation to attend to and
our railroad laws need to be improved to
meet the various projects for railroad i'm.
provements now pending. All of this
work is given oyer to the gentlemen dele
gated to perform the duty and to their in.
intelligence We are willing to commit it.
