Now that Jefferson Davis IS dead, let us
say of him. as we say of any one whose
life is a failure, reQa9eseat IN pace. Of the
dead Jefferson Davis we are mute, of the
living j. D.. We know that his Judgment
and convictions as relates to the war on
this Government was the judgment of mil
lions both in this country and abroad, and
was shared by nearly all his countrymen
at the south.
That this judgment and conviction did
0 justify his course as the leader of an
armed rebellion against the country. we
certainly admit, that tdid p~alliate to some
extent the crime of rebellion we stoutly
maintain.
But let that all pass, and let pass with it,
too, the ~rancorous hate and embittered feel
ings that are less manly and less wise than
the hero worship Of the man jefferson
Davis.
Tie South is strewn knee deep with
wrecked ambition, blasted expectations and
withered hopes, and has reaped the whirl-
wind Of retributi9n for the harvest Of trea-
son sowed il the early COS.
Now let the dead bury the dead, and the
grave that covers the remains of Jefferson
Davis receive with it ali the old hates and
saddened "reminiscences of the dead past.
The war is over, let US have peace.

Disease under certain conditions, physi-
clans maintain, is a crime. That is to say,
when the hereditary line is favorable to
longevity and the ailment is not brought
about by contact with an infectious dis
ease or the result Of an epidemic or pesti-
lence. Sickness under other eircum-
stances, they say, is a crime and a viola
ton Of the plainest laws of nature. For a
man TO over-wOrk himself, over-sleep him
self, over-eat himself, overriding himself,
or over-indulge himself in any way, en-
tails upon him a disease that is abnormal,
and for which he deserves no sympathy,
but rather reproof and correction.
Such, at least, is the theory of some able
physicians, and We have wondered whether
the same rule wouldn't apply with equal
or even greater force in the ethics of
labor and tile acquisition of wealth.
Otherwise put, ISN'T poverty a crime when
the circumstances are favorable to the ac-
cumulation of at least a competence? We
believe it is, and that extreme poverty in
this country, under the usual favorable
circumstances, is not only highly repre-
hensiblc but very often a serious crime.
To make this apparent let us briefly in
yestigate.
First, then, IN looking up our wealthy
men, whether it be in towns the size OF
Woodstown, Salem, B~ridgeton, or the
larger cities over the country, it is found
in almost every case that the wealthy and
dominant class of these towns and cities
are recruited largely from the common OF
laboring class, who had what the world
styles "a poor chance on the start They
were poor and began life at the bottom
round of the ladder. Statistics show,
however, that only one man to every six
teen or eighteen thus circumstance be-
m wealthy, while one out Of every ioul
or five secures a competence for himself
and possible family.
The question then occurs what becomes
o' the other three or four out of every five
who never enjoy the the ordinary comforts
OF living, and how happens III. How is it
that in a group OF five school boys, each of
equal ability to earn a living and each
with a fair chance to make their way in
the world, that at least three of these five
will be dependent upon the other or others
and will have to be carried along through
life and their families, if they have any,
along with them, and be buried in death
at the public expense? How is it that this
fifth boy will have to help pay for the
water (if not the whisky tie other four
drink, the bread they eat, the clothes they
wear, rent for the house in which they

Cali for a statehood convention.


great emergency confronts the people of
both Dakotss in regard to the matter of state
hood. There is necessity for the people of
South Dakota to take prompt and vigorous
action. Without proper concert of movement
there is danger that statehood may be delayed
two or three years. This would mean to every
citizen serious financial lols and injury. The
time in which actien may be taken is very
short, and it is therefore necessary that haste
shall be made in whatever may be attempted.
The people of North Dakota have already
acted.
The undersigned were appointed committee
at the statehood convention held at Huron
July IL, 1883, with power to call convention in
such an emergency. Therefore, in pursuance
of this power, and to give an opportunity for
consultation and united action upon this sub
iect the committee ask the people of South
Dakota friendly to Two states to assemble in
their respective counties on Saturday, the 18th
day of January, 1889, and elect delegates to
convention to be held at Huron on Wednesday
January l6, 1889, to take such steps as nay be
necessary in this emergency.
The basis of representation of the several
counties in said convention will be one dele
gate for each two hundred votes or major
fraction thereof cast therein for delegate to
congress at the general election of 1888.
Under the plan # superintendent the various
counties of South Dakota are entitled the num-
her of deiepataa below indioatad.

Delegate Clifford asserts in positive
terms: dakota is sure to be admitted
this session" This is evidence enough
that Delegate Clifford believes Dakota
will be admitted at the present session
and as he is in position to form ao-
curate Judgment, his assurance is full of
encouragement. Congressman COX
coincides with Delegate Gifford's view
OF the case and eyinces a determination
20 give Dakota's representative oil
possible aid in bringing about the hoped
for result. MIR. COX says the congress-
men from Texas, Arkansas. Mississippi
and Georgia stand with him on the Ds.
kota matter. There are thirty-three
democratic votes In the congressional
delegations fr om these states.
