THIS LIFE Is WHAT WE MAKE IT

Lets oftener talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And none about the sad ones.
We were not made to fret and Sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake It.;
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make It.
Let's ind the sunny side of men,
Or be believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
Oh! there's slumbering'good in all,
And we psrchance may wake it;
Our handa contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed light and Joy about them!
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We ne'er had known without them.
Oh! this should be happy world
To all who may partake it;
The faults eur own if it is not
This life Is what We make it.

The presentation of the capital com
mission case to the supreme court Of
Dakota has been made the occasion for
the delivery of some of the most bril-
liant arguments ever placed before that
high judicial body. IL is case which
has attracted almost national attention
and one in which, the several attorneys
have taxed their powers of research to
the utmost. In defense of the rights of
the people the Dakota attorneys for the
people have contended with the ablest
outside legal talent money could procure,
and it is qualification to those for whom
they have labored to be able to announce
that their efforts are high credit to the
bar OF Dakota. Brought into conflict
with imported attorneys, who were work.

and Gamble, themselves without the in.
centive of pecuniary reward, have sue.

vanced by their able opponents in favor

sion. Whatever may be the finding OF
the supreme court, the verdict of general
public opinion will stand-that the law
10 on the side of the people and that ali
the points were most skillfully presented
by their counsel. There have been In
the court room during the two days ar.
aument, many legal gentlemen from
abroad and among them it is generally
remarked that the people have the better
side of the case. Judge Moody, OF
Deadwood, always vigorous and exhaus.
tive in his legal efforts
and researches, gave start,
lingly clear enunciation of the law and
the facts in this case. Bartlett Tripp, oi
Yankton, made calm, dlgnifed and
effective argument and presented it in hit
usual eloquent manner. ]. r. Gamble.
of Yankton, gave to the subject more
than the usual force of his always con
vincipg legal arguments. The three ad
dresses were the result of long study il
the case and the most careful and pains
taking arrangement of facts, law anc
authorities. Colonel Villas, Of Madison
and Colonel CIough, of st. Paul, two o
the ablest lawyers in the northwest, rep
resented the capital commission ane
handled their case with skill and markee
ability, and made it necessary for th,
attorneys for the people to bring thei
best efforts into the conflict. Whatever
may be tie result, the people of Dakot,
have reason to express their thanks t.
the three able gentlemen who have pre-
sented their case to the court and wht
have asked no fee for their long ant
laborious efforts.

Local Legislation.

On the consideration of the Senate con-
current resolution in the House, that no
bills should be introduced after Friday the
18th inst, ]. NJ. Hoyle, of Lee county,
made the following remarks;
Nh. SPEAKER: am in favor of the adop-
ton of the resolution, because, sir, this
House has been in session now near six
weeks, and but few, perhaps not more than
half-dozen bills ola general nature, have
been passed. The people of the State have
their eyes turned to this House, and have
locked from day to day for some general
legislation.
My opinion, sir, is that there is too mnch
local legislation, and il should be guarded
in every way, il not entirely stopped. The
beauty, the harmony and the uniformity of
our law is now about destroyed by local
acts and exemptions. The various COM
mittees cannot report on account of so
many local bills, and unless this is stopped,
sir, we will not have an opportunity to
enter into general legislation during this
session. l therefore hope the resolution
will be adopted. HoYLE, OF LEX

QuadrennIal Elections.

That capable aud Trustworthy Repre-
sentative, the Hon. N. b. Crawford, of
Chiekasaw, has introduced Joint Res.
olution providing for a constitutional
amendment 10 be submitted to the
people under which, elections can
be held in this State for State
and county officials only once in
every four years. The resolution is
understood to meet with the favorable
report of the committee to which it was
referred and has already been approved
by many leading members both in the
House and Senate in advance Of any
action by either body. Such a change
in the organic law of the State is greatly
need d. The measure proposed meets a
popular demand from every part of the
land, The frequent recurrence of cleo.
tions bcgets indifference on the pait of
those who ought to vote, entails expense
on the taxpayers and has very many
Inconvenience 10 all concerned. Let
the resolution pass and we believeit will
be adopted almost unanimously.

The Right of Appeal.

One of the urgent needs Of the people
of this country at this time is some pro.
vision for the appeal and further hear
ing Of a case determined by the lower
federal courts, aud better method Of
having causes decided over in those cases
where an appeal can be had by the ex-
isting laws.
The Judges of the Supreme Court of
the United States have their circuits and
they hear and determine cases us at the
Nisi PriB tribunals. When the cases
are of amount sufficient to be appealed
to the court of last resort, these same
jndges sit with the full bench In judg-
ment Of what they have previously
heard.
OF course the familiarity of the Judge
who heard the case below with the facts
Of the case, makes his influence severely
felt, and the full bench is more apt to
go with him in affirming the judgment.
A man who is not able to have case
for $4,000, cannot get before the Su-
prtme Court of the United States.
Most of the causes tried in this State
are below $4,000, and therefore most
litigants are utterly dependant on the
one tribunal now provided for them.
Ills matter needs reform and the ear.

gress is respectfully called to the sub

Party Policy.

Although the impending struggle for
supremacy In the great National contest
is engaging the attention Of the whole
country and all eyes are turned 10 the
National capital in anxious expectancy,
it may not be amiss TO keep steadily be-
fore us our affairs at home 10 that no
disaster may come TO US in the admins
OF our State affairs.
While it is true party In power is
always on trial, 1t may also be said that
when the legislative department Of a
government is at work the party in con-
troll is then upon It's greatest trial.
The Democratic party is in absolute
control in this State. 1t has Demo
cratic Governor with Democratic ju,
dietary under appointment and Demo
cratic Legislature by election Of the
people. At this time all three branches
Of the government are at active work
and the Democratic party Of Mississippi |
is again on trial before the people.
Upon this Governor, these judges and
members Of the Legislature rests a
grave responsibility. They are making
up the record. What they do will soon
become history.
The Republican party held sway
among us until the intelligence Of the
State rose In its might and hurled from
the gates the. men whose oppression had
become intolerable 70 liberty.loving cit
liens Of all classes. This Re
publican party was bound to go.
II was born in hate and fed upon the
joint principle Of revenge and avarice
aud maintained for years by the com.
bined power Of the bayonet and the
ignorance Of its voting strength.
This party was bound to 90 because
its politics we're bad, its teachings hurt.
full, is practices wrong and its laws
odious and oppressive. We really be-
licve that of the small number Of indi-
vidual members Of that party who had
the true interests Of the Commonwealth
at heart but few Of them at this day will
deny that the overthrow Of their party
was for the good Of the State.
The Democratic party took the place
Of this organization because it was
change the people were compelled to
have.
We believe in the Democratic princi.
pie, and because Of our belief we desire
TO see the party of our faith continue to
administer the affairs of our State gov
eminent.
Political parties in Republican gov
ernmentexist, or ssupposed to exist, for
the good of the people, not part of the
people, but for the whole body polite.
It nay be set down as a certain fact that
whenever party in power fails to sub
serve the true interests of the people
and proves faithIess to its avowed prin-
plies and recreant to the public trust, it
must fall sooner or later.
In another issue we will refer to the
same question of party policy more
specifically.
