SMILES.

Like pearls Of dew, in the bell of flowers.
Like songs of birds in the leafy bowers,
Like the gentle patter Of welcome rain,
Falls a soothing word on a burdened brain.
A peace which follows the battles strife,
Which soothes, yet quickens, the pulse Of
life,
So Charity's voice, on an erring heart,
May love for n holier life impart.
Like the irst-born blossoms of early spring,
Which smile in the gladness and JOY they
bring,
Thus a cheering word may new life bestow
To a heart fr~ost-bound by adversity's snow
As fresh as dew on the thirsty corn,
As fair as the roseate hues of MORN,
AS bright as stars in heavens azure blue,
Are the words aud deeds Of "A friend proved
true.

more TO send us this year. There is a
good crop in India il is true. hut il will
not come here freely at the current
prices. Whence, then, shall we get the
sixteen or seventeen million quarters We
shall probably require To import. We
receive grain in small quantities from So

NEXT TUESDAY, WHAT

The election next Tuesday may in
volye more to us as a people than we
cat see or imagine, and it may not. A
constitution has been framed under an
act authorizing it by the last Territorial
legislature. In connection with this, n
full State and congressional ticket has
been nominated, and a vote of the peo-
pie is 70 be had on the adoption or rejec-
ton Of this constitution, and the election
Of these officers next Tuesday; and when
Congress assemblies. this constitution will
be presented to them. by the accredited
representatives of the people, asking
that South Dakota be made a State. That
statehood is a desirable object to be at
tanned, all admit. AS TO the method, the
kind of State, it's boundaries, &c, it is a
question for the people TO decide, and il
can only he done by their votes.
In this county some diversity of opin-
ion exists upon this question Of State
hood-some preferring division on the
Missouri river, some the admission of the
territory as a whole, and still others the
division and admission on the forty sixth
parallel, rs proposed by the constitution
TO he voted on next Tuesday. If state
hood can be gained by this movement,
we say amen! because we hold that uR-
der the Constitution Of the United States
Congress has nc legal right to hold n
territory simply as n colony, in perpetual
vasselage, because it is contrary TO the
genius Of our institutions and laws. The
doctrine that the Government Is "of the
people, by the people and for the people"
is reversed under a territorial form, and
becomes one Of and by the Government,
a condition " designed by our fore
fathers to exist n moment beyond the
time that a territory could show 81 popl-
latiOn sufficient to render il eligible to
statehood, which is G0,O00.
The present movement offers a chance
for our citizens to control their own al
fairs-tO say by whom they shall be gov
erned, and to relieve themselves from
the onorous school tax necessary to keep
up our schools, by getting possession OF
lands set apart for educational purposes,
and We believe II would be the part Of
wisdom to participate in an election that
may prove far-reaching in it's effect upon
oul future welfare as q people.
That the constitution will be approved
by a large majority Of the people Of the
proposed state, there is not the least
| shadow Of doubt. Whether that MAORI
ty will influence the question of division
and admission, remains to be seen. Ia
our judgment it will-simply because the
attention of the whole Republic is at
tracted 10 our efforts for self-gOyernment,
and public sentiment generally comedies
that our failure, thus far, is All outrage
and an invasion Of the inherent rights OF
the people; hence, this universal senti-
ment will go far toward forcing q recog.
milton from Congress.
Let us have no dog-in-the-manger bu-
siness about this. Let us face the duty
and shoulder the responsibility like men
Let it be understood that the people Of
Day county are neither afraid mol
ashamed 10 express themselves upon
a subject Of such vital interest.
