THE Illinois legislature has put itself
on record among the nations of the earth
That august body Of solons felt it their
duty to let the world see and know that
they had learned of the death of Vic
tor Hugo, the venerable and iInstrious
French author. Many of them had new
er heard of him before. In their speech
es some of them paid a glowing tribute
to him rs the inventor Of the Victor sew
ing machine, and one old fellow who
lived in Gen. Jackson's time panegyrized
him as the author of "To the victors belong
the spo,Is," and thought he lived down
in Tennessee somewhere but had not
heard of him for long time. Another
member whose father was q hardshell
Baptist preacher declared with much
feeling OF reverence that Victor Hugo was
the founder Of the sect called Hugucnots
10 which every member Of the Legislature
owed debt Of gratitude for having car
ried on the Reformation from the point
where Martin Luther and John CALVIN
leIC u. nc 'hcHtioh VI JIG ScIiu icio' ""
ton by the last speaker brought both the
republican and democratic members to
their feet, each party claiming that Vic
tor Hugo was the author Of the civil ser
vice reform plank in its platform. After
tnmnlt IN which tobacco guilds and
cigar stubs were exchanged between the
disputants with the vigor of base ball
pitchers the Speaker decided that the res
olutions of coincidence were carried unan-
,mously and the house adjourned out OF
respect for the deceased beDefactor.

TIE plight IN which the patients that
were brought to the insane hospital at
this place were sent ont from the Yankton
asylum suggests the need of an old Ben.
Butler in the territory, and we do not be-
lieve that Gov. Pierce will let this dis
grace to the territory and one of it's
charitable institutions pass unnoticed.
The institution at Yankton evidently
needs investigation and needs it badly.
These patients must be taken as q sample
of the manner in which all the inmates
Of that institution are clad. The pre-
sumption would be that they were drcs-
sed in their best. going out on such u
journey. TO suppose that they were clad
wolse than those that remained would be
TO suppose a discrimination where none
could either justly or decently be made.
There is no apparent excuse for the dis
graceful condition of apparel in which
these patients were sent.ut. There is no
excuse for keeping them in such condl-
ton of apparel in that institution even
though they might be hidden from the
observation of the outsiue world These
patients were made the unconscious and
involuntary exposers of gross negligence

stitution and thorough wedding out

nor be too vigoi ously prosecuted.

following of revolItioDists would extend
beyond the insignificant squad of Office
seekers and public plunderers when the
test should come, however UNANIMOUSLY
they might fall into 1t now.
This preposterous and revolutionary
idea was strangled IN the constitutional
convention of two years ago, and for the
general reputation of Dakota territory it
is TO be hoped that like fate awaits it At
the coming convention. There are in
harmonious and distractlng elements
enough among the people of South Da,
kota already without injecting into the
constitutional convention scheme the ele-
ment of crankiness.
Judge Shannon two years ago, to the
minds of all candid thinking people, an
initiated this proposition on every point
offered in It's support, and the same points
that are now being revamped as argu-
ments in its favor. 1t is a proposition as
absurd and inconsistent with our govern
ment as the doctrine of secession, and
would be dealt with by the federal goy-
ernmcnt in the same way.

SOME ino.. s.~r- rao"liar WAYS Inv which
to fix dates, especially the date of their
downfall. Such date is very much like
thnt of the changes Of the moon, purely
arbitrary. The moon does not change
mere rapidly at one time than at another,
and guessing at changes in the weather
at stated changes of the neon IS all moon
bitrary date of their downfall, with per-
haps few exceptions. The exhorter IN
distant state who, on being detected
stealing money from till, fxed the date
of his downfall at the time when he join
ed q progressive euchre club, is proba-
bly, one of those who look for change OF
weather when the moon changes. Pco
pie have been accustomed to charge
their downfall to the devil, but it seems
now that progressive euchre IS to take
the place of that old tcmpter as a scnpe-
goat and satan is to be gwen a rest. Ii
seems little strange that people rarely
if ever ascertain this date until they are
caught in the fall 1t is not the fall
frt m an elevation that bruises the body
and breaks the bones, but the stopping
so suddenly. So it seems that 1t is not
the downfall in morals that hurts, but the
shock of being caught it.
When the man in the garden OF Eden
was confronted with the discovery OF his
dis obedience he fixed the date at the
time when the woman gave to hlm the
fruit, and the woman fixed the dato OF
her downfall at the time when the SER
pcnt beguiled her. After all there is
more virtue in keeping out of the way Of
temptation than IN resisting it. 1t you
know the date Of the commencement OF
your downfall now you knew it at the
time, ana if you knew 1t at the time you
have been little less than an idiot for pur
suing the course that you knew would
end in ruin

What our Fourth VI July Celebration
SlOulJ he.

Generally speaking the proposed Fourth
of July celebration should be one in
which all our people could take equal
part and equally enjoy and the money
appropriated from the peoples fund and
contributed by the people should be ex-
pended with that purpose prominently
and rrc-eminently in view. AS little re-
straint, red tapelsm and fixed programme

course but nothing of the straight jacket
order.
The Fourth of July is the peoples day.
"Pcace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war; and the Fourth of
July IS the anniversary of renowned
victory OF peace. When the old liberty
bell in the city of Philadelphia rang out
the glad tidings to the people that the
Declaration of Independence had been
adopted the people with one accord united
in grand Jubilee. Every one of the
fifty six sigaers of that immortal docu-
ment had signed his own death warrant
if it failed. The people, men, women
and children, responded in one united
voice to its declarations and sentiments
pledging their "lives, fortunes and sacred
honor" that 1t should not fail. AS we
have said, the Foulth of July is the peo-
ple's day.
Good, soulstlrring music is an indls-
pensable requisite to successful Fourth
of July celebration and money spent for
that essential within degree of reason
able bounds will be well spent Fargo
has band that is famous throughout the
northwest and we believe Bismarck has
an excellent one. We can afford to have
good music on this OCCASION and plenty of
it. We believe that either or both the
bands referred to can be had at a reason
able expenditure.
There should be no spectators on this
occasion, but the arrangements should be
such that all will or can be participants
and that will enlist the interest of all.
Without enlisting the interest of all the
celebration will IN like proportion come
short of success. 1t ls better to discuss
plainly and freely plans for making the
celebration success before it takes place
than to crlminate and recrimlnate for Is
failure afterwards.
No organization, society, specially or
feature should be permitted TO monopolize
any portion of the day for that makes all
others spectators and spectators are al.
ways severe and eXacting critics. 1t is q
free-for-all day and 60 s-you- please
race for the most enjoyment. We have
money enough, people enough, energy
enough to make it boomer and if we do
not make 1t such the fault will be with
ourselves. We cannot lay the blame of
failure or partial failure to the Northern
Pacific railroad nor to the city council.
The celebration will be just what we our
selves Individually and collectively make
