and perhaps higher work for the State

courageous stand for constitutional rights
should he freely accorded and gratefully
remembered They are apt to be forgot
ten in a period when the storm has passed
away, and when political rights are as
free and universal as the sunshine and the
air. As politician Mr.. Blair would.
perhaps, at the present day be called
impracticable, but he could boast what
most of The present school of politicians
OF both high and low degree lack most
sadly. He was persistent in his support
Of principles to which his mind and con-
science had once declared allegiance, and
he had the courage. under all circum-
stances, to avow and stand by his convic-
tions. A firm believer in the fundamental
principles Of democracy, he separated
from his party on the questions which
IL. h. hnl AL
that a higher principle than that o. party
fealty was At stake But he did not
abandon the principles Of democracy
when he dsunited himself from its organ
ization, and he became after the war one
of the bodest and most determined de-
Tenders oil the constitutional rights OF the
States and the people. His persistency
of character was strongly illustrated IN
his advocacy of the cause Of Mr. Tilden,
and his almost unceasing denunciation OF
the crimes against democratic government
which he believed had been perpetrated
in the rulings of the electoral commission.
He was called Quixotic and made the
butt of sneers and gibes by many who
could not appreciate answering devotion
to principle, but he laughed the scorners
to scorn and kept up his sturdy battle for
what he believed the right. The lives OF
both Gov. Swami and Mr.. Blair point
their own morals. Neither of them was
in all respects above criticism, as few
people are, and their methods differed
widely; but each Of them accomplished
enduring work for his State. The average
politician of today cnriches himself rather
than the community, but both Mr.. Blair

devotion to principle.-Balto. Sun.

A correspondent of the Yankton Her.
aid writing from Talbot, Nebraska, strikes
the key note to Yankton's progress as
commercial center. For the purpose of
commencing his very excellent sugges-
tons we append portion of his letter
AS an interested friend to Yankton,
and everything that aids her triumph in
commercial prosperity, l will venture =
little advice. Get Ordway and his gang
into court, and keep them there until
you can get good large state of the
south end of the territory. Or you
might do as the governor himself
advised in the case Of the bond steal,
indict them under the statute of
frauds"
Now take the advice of the Herald,
every man 60 to work and get railroad
from Omaha to Bismarck, crossing at
Yankton. It only requires about fifty
miles of road to build and bridge
across the Missouri. The bridge can be
built like the Rock Island bridge, rail-
road bridge above and wagon bridge be-
low. A few miles above Yankton .
bridge is practical. This is far from be-
ing an idle vain scheme Of speculation,
1t is plain. substantial, practical real.
lty. When this work is accomplished it
requires no great degree of foresight to
see that Yankton will in few
years become one of the great
centers in the cattle and grain trade,
with all it's benefits to every avenue of
trade and industry. The capital ques.
ton is insignificant in comparison to
this enterprise. Then again why is this
not the true way to secure the capital of
the south part of Dakota? Yankton'a
