Grand Forks Herald,

When very hard sinner dies and his
physical proportions have been gathered
to the charnel house OF his fathers, it is
customary in civilized countries to erect
q monument to his name at least, with
the significant warning from dead and
gone language, ''requiescat in pace"
which being interpreted into modern
English means, ''give the old man
rest.' This comes now with peculiar
force in respect to our executive He
will certainly not linger much longer on
the shores of Dakota and of time. Full
of years and iniquity, according to his
enemies, who are numerous, it were high
time for him to think of other things
than the feeting passion of public
life. And inasmuch as he considers him
self vindicated after fashion by the
sustalnment of his plea to the jurisdic
ton, 1t may .be well enough to humor
him, on the condition that he takes the
rattle presented to him by Judge Edger-
ton, without the confines of Dakota and
beats lis jubilation elsewhere. OF course
it is no vindlcation, but if he will only
depart in peace, all Dakota will be glad
to concede something to his faults. That
even his bitterest enemies, who are con-
tessedly at Yankton, have changed their
hatred for pity towards him, may be seen
from the dispassionate reply which Judge
Campbell makes to his bitter and defiant
challenge for o co.investigation of the
respective official careers. When this
challenge was issued, an effect was IN.
tended to be conveyed different from
that produced. 1t was thought to be
equal to one Of the "crow annihilators'
made by 81. Pettingill, which only "Si.'
conld make. But it did not even roll
Judge Campbell or in any way disturb
his complacency. He did not fire ur
and blow right off, but consulted mis-
own leisure and replied to the challenge
by saying that while Ordway's appre
tensions and charges were foundation
less, nevertheless, he had himself re
quested an investigation OF the whole O
his public career by the federal commits
sioners, which investigation was now il
progress, and would doubtless result
in his removal, if his conduc
justified it. This is q calm, dignifiet

whole term and has yet succeeded il
kicking up the lveliest row whereve
and whenever he put down his ampl
pedals, that probably ever resulted from
a similala1 invasion. But he is certainl,
going away. Let there be an end to til,
clamor. 1t can do no good. He woul
not be foisted upon us again if he want

As we floated away at the callers will
Through the intricate, may dance together.

Slowly advancing and then retreating
All deckcd in their bright array;
And back and forth TO the music rhyme
We moved together, and all the time

From heart to brain as we gently glided
Like leaves on the wave of that waltz quadrillc,
Parted. met and again divided,
You drifting one way and ] another,
Then suddenly turning and facing each other
Then off in the blithe chase,
Then airily back 10 our places swaying,
While every beat of the music seemed saying
That you were going away

OF mirth and pleasure and love and laughter,
For it all must end with this waltz quadrilic,
And life will never be the same life after.

o. that the music might go on falling

While we whirled on the vast forever,
Where no hearts break and no ties sever
And no one goes away.

Twas the end of the dream and the end OF
the measure.
The last low notes of that waltz quadrillc
Seemed like a dirge over the death OF pleasure.
You said goodnight and the spell was over
Too warm for friend and too cold for lover,
There was nothing more 10 say
But the lights looked dim and the dancers
weary,
And the music was sad and the hall was dreary
After you went away. hHd Wheeler.
