Nor shall any duties or taxes on impor-

The Confederate idea was to raise
agricultural products by slave labor, and
discourage the growth ofindustrial es-
Establishments, which would surely create
an intelligent class ofworkingmen voters,
who would be opposed to continuance
of slavery. The old idea has not yet
been gotten rid of by Mills and his

THE Huronite, after copying comments
on the recent two-state convention at
Huron by the eastern press, says, edito-
fTially: 1--WE give large space to the say
ings of others on the subject of the S'ste-
hood convention Just closed. The event
is discussed freely by the leading jour
nsls throughout the country, and its con-
illusions seem to meet with universal APP
proyal amongthe old friends of Dakota.
The convention succeeded in making
the purposes of the statehood friends SO
clear that there is no excuse for misun-
derstanding them, and as the people
come to see what the objects really are
they flock to the standard of the move
ment. Our case is getting the serious at
tention of the press of the whole coun-
try as never before. and hundreds of
journalistic friends are enabled, by the
admirable action of the convention, to
dip in a helping oar, who before stood
fearful that the extravagant charges of
our enemies might, in some measure, be
true. ALI the Dakota people ask for is
what is right. They desire that the
right shall come in the right way. Their
defiance" is against wrong, long contin-
ued and grown wretchedly oppressive,
and not against the rightful exercise of
power in any department Of the govern
ment. To avoid methods of relief about
which there could be the least possible
question, they have permitted rights,
the dearest to mankind, to rest in
allegiance. To avoid the least shadow
OF revolutionary action, they have cease
lessly agitassd and patiently waited for
reform. The country seems to be just
catching on 10 the real spirit in which |
even the most radical statehood men are
standing on their rights. and true Amer
lean citizens are everywhere in sympathy |
with that spirit. The matter of leader
ship is changing. Heretofore Dakota
has been forced to lead for herself, with |
the whole outside world crying, "Hushl /
--be patient--be cautious -go sIowl" Now
the Dakota people viii have to strike a |
qu;ckstep to keep forward to the mark
where the whole patriotic outside world
will be constantly urging them. The
beginning of the end is not far out of
sight.

Row that the fishing season is at hand
Walt Mason poetizes in the following

Now that the fishing season is at hand
Walt Mason poetizes in the following
sentimental style:
wandered to the country, Tom, / sat
beside the brook, tried to catch the
mmble trout with line and ba!ted hook !;
the banks we've just as muddy and the
current just as slow. as in the days used
to fish some twenty years ago. No peo-
pie now are with me, Tom, squatted
there alone, and tried to yank out mas
sive feb, where, there alas were none,
mosquitoes bit me just as hard and
chatted just al low, as when they used
to bore their wells some twenty years
ago. And while / tried to swipe them
once and break their dreary song, the
bank rolled down into the creek and
carried me along; the water just as
moist, my friend, the mud as deep be-
low as when | rolled lnto,t the creek,
some twenty years ago. The line got
wound around my limbs, the hook stuck
in my eye, the pole twirled round the
same old way and hit me on the fly.
And when / started TO my home, my
eyes were full of last years leaves, my
ears were full of foam; snake sat up
and bit me, Tom, just as that snake you
know, that left Its trace mark on my leg
some twenty years ago. And then TO
the market went, as you Of course, will
guess, and having captured ne er a fish,
had to buy mess; and thea the with
cred scrubs / bought, TO my wife did
show, and told the same old fairy tale Of
twenty years ago.
