HOW 1T WILL WORK.

The mint thrown out by MessrS. Nc
Chesney and Wilson, members of the
Illinois state board of live stock COM
misSioners, as to what would be the re-
suit of the policy requiring beef cattle
to be inspected on foot in the state and
at the point of consumption, if such pol
Icy were adopted by all or number of
she states-and if one should adopt such
a policy the others would be compelled
TO as matter of self-defense-we say
the hint thrown out by those gentlemen
contains point that it will be well for
our legislature to consider if they seri-
ously contemplate the policy mentioned.
1t is this: What will become of the ex-
cess of cattle raised in this state above
the requirements of our own people for
beef. The animals rejected at the state
line (and these would constitute large
per cent of the whole, under the operation
of such systeml would be turned back
upon us, and their care and the expense
necessary 10 put them in condition to
pass on second trial, would so complete

such cattle that they would be forced TO
abandon the business in short order.
This would, of course, increase the
demand for first class cattle, but the
standard of quality would be CORES
pondingly raised, and this would not
only increase the cost of production but
would necessarily advance the price to
the consumer, so that in the end nobody
would be benefited. but everybody seri-
ously Inconvenience.
Ii there were only one side to the
question and that on our side, we might
lie able TO adjust it to our own satisfac-
ton, but it Is Ike a two-edged tool, it
cuts both ways, consequently is dangerous
TO fool with. In its effects il is a good
deal like the interest question, the ones
designed to be benefited by amending
the law are the very ones, nine times in
ten, most serious injured by such tinker
ing. To our MUD there is no question
but that the best thing the legislature
can do with these matters is TO do moth
ing. further than to dismiss them at the
earliest nossible moment

Love and Charity" and my heart seemed TO say
How soon would the earth taste the sweetness OF
bliss?
HOW soon the dark shadows of sin fade away,
IL We each in our lives these graces expressed;
IL each Tor each other let charity sway,
All mankind would at once be mutually blest.
The tears of the needy called forth by their want
Inc tears OF the orphan in loneliness shed:
Tears OF the fallen that with hopelessness taunt.
And the tears of the wronged ali bitter with dread
These all in the light of sweet charity's charms
Would vanish. and JOY would then beam in their
stead.
With heavenly love would she fold in her arms
These children of fate.and would pillow each head
On the bosom of God; then point to the skies

Meanwhile from the store Of her earthly supplies,
Their wants would relieve with an infinite zest-
No more would the prison doors ope' with a creak.
And cape for the victim ali shrunken with dread,

No more would the spoiler with innocence toy,
Nor faint with dark SANDER the name of the pure;
NO more would the mother with grief for her boy,
Grow gray. with heart broken. bereft OF cure.
Then the wall of the doomed, the sigh OF despair,
The cry of the hungry when pleading for bread,
The struggle for power the battles red glare.

Oh, then, that this spirit may dominate man.
In all of his actions in all that he says,

Deal kindly with all, thus enriching his days.

There is bill before the Missouri leg
islature to make the first Monday in
September each year a legal holiday aud
to be known and called Labor Day. If
Missouri wants it let her have it. But
we cannot help remarkIng the general
tendency in that direction. With the
national holidays already established
and the disposition to increase the num-
Der by the states, if pandered to much
further, it will be necessary presently to
change the order and establish an oc
casional work day. 1t is true that "all
work and no play will make Jack dull
boy" but it is also true that all play and
no work will make him a worthless, vic
ions cuss. Our observation is that those
Who live nearest up to the divine in
junction as to labor and rest, observing
The rules thus prescribed, are not only
The happiest and most contented but also
The most prosperous. Nevertheless, an
occasional call from labor to refreshment
day off, so to speak, is not always time
lost. Such things can better be arrang
ed by the individual or neighborhood,
according to circumstances, than by
fixed rules of law. The most serious in
convenience of the times Is too much
legislation-too much law.
