Laws Of Language.

Imagine a writer perhaps a poet
at least q genius standing on the
highest attainable point of the mount
that he has been clim bing,. grasping at
an idea far above, rapidly floating past
him. .a ! ,<> -:

Here are words of all sorts, = says a

anyhow. You wifi Break. your neck,

The whole world admires the idea;
but,s '..Bless metz cries tho. pedant,

The moral IS that laws of language
are good things, yet we find passages,
and frequently very grand passages, in:
which the laws Of language are set at

and obey them, except in the most

Minnehaha county farmers are moving
in political matters with the purpose of
influencing territorial legislation. This
county was represented in the lower
house of the last legislature by farmer,
but he was evidently not one of the sort
they desired. The following resolution
adopted at mass meeting of the Mime.
haha county farmers gives the burden OF
their thoughts:
Resolued, That We, the farmers of Min.
nehaha county, irrespective of party,
respectively present to the people of the
county and territory that our legisla.
lures have neglected the interests Of the
farmers and working men, and have
favored beyond equity the interest of
capital and corporations. Therefore
this meeting looks with disfavor on the
pernicious class legislation that has been
going on in the past, and that we hereby
declare our intention to remedy the
evils caused thereby, and to that effect
we invite the cooperation Of all citizens,
irrespective of party or trade; that We
condemn the law taxing railroads by
gross earnings; that we require county
commissioners to put undIr bonds; that
we condemn the present unlawful use oi
the sinking fund of this county; that We
condemn the bonding of the territory
for $750,000 by our last legislature; that
we require public contracts of railroads
that grist mills, being eminent domain
in the territory, should be put under
strict control, both as to grinding and
trading for -four.

Palnud in the Inter Ocean, under
Huron date, pays the following tribute
to the Fourth of July and Dakota:
The celebration OF the Fourth of July
has been general throughout Dakota to-
day. The people OF this territory,
though denied their rights in the matter
of division and separate statehood, have
got any amount of patriotism, which
bubbles forth like the clear crystal
waters of mountain spring on every
possible occasion. Dakotians are for
the union every time, and would be for
Blaine this fall if they could be. At
Huron the observances of the day were
carried on amid enthusiasm, despite an
occasional shower. A procession
speeches, racing and popular sport filled
up the day, with a-dance at nj ght. The
orators were Judge Ingersoll and A. W
Wilmarth. Before another Fourth south
Dakota hopes to secure admission to
the union.
Many Fourths have come and gone
since the birth of the hope that Dakota
might become state.

An EXCHANGE complains that
out Of 5000 bills that shave been
introduced in the present Congress
only two have become law. It con-
demnsCongress for not doing more.
This view Of the matter is entirely
wrong. Congress should be praised
for possessing the sense ssnd good
judgment to kill so many of the
bills that are presented for its en-
dorsement. The country is not
suffering half SO much from g want
of laws as from too many laws. If
past Congresses had killed S,99S of
every 5000 bills introduced 1t might
have been better fer everybody, and
especially for the Congressman
themselves.

TELEPHONE CONTEST.

Everybody will wish well to the
Overland Telephone Company
which is fighting the powerful mon
opo y known SIS the Bell Company.
Heretofore the Bell has crushed
everything like opposition tn 1t has
ari-en, and moved along robbing the
people as heartlessly as the West
ern Union Te egraph Company has
always done. The Overland. how
ever, IS n aking hard fight and
with some hopes of final success. 1t
is certainly doing considerable bufi-
ness il coma OF the eastern cities,
and is receiving encourage ment
from the public. The Overland
telephones are said to be
eqasI TO the Ball, giving entire sat
isfaction wherever used. While
the Bell Company, presuming on its
N onopoly, will sell no instruments,
bat charges a rental of 81 per
month for everyone that it permits
to go ou', the Overland sells its
telephones outright and at reason
able prices. TIE Bell mas brought
irj motion suits against the use of
the Overland in ;truments, claiming
an inffingem -nJ or patent, bat the
Overland people express confidence
in winning and are going ahead in
their manly fight against the ex-
tortion that is bang ,practioed. We
sincerely hops they will triumph
and that the Bell may be forced to
abandon is pigghh course, and
treat tins public with s1me degree Of
con d-ration and fairness.
