PRETTY WORD PICTURE.
at Noonti,e in tho smoky Mountains Of


Tho shadows of tho great dead trees
in the midst of tho settlement were at
their minimum in the vertical vividncss
of the noontide, writes Charles Egbert
Craddocl. They bore scant resemblance
to those memorials Of gigantic growths
which lowered, stark and white, so high
to tae intensely blue sky; instead they
were like some dark and leaflcss under
brush clustering about tho saplcss
trunks. Tho sandy stretch of tho clear
ing reflected tho sunlight with deeply
yellow glare, its poverty Of soil illus-
trate:l by frequent clumps Of the woody
nullcin weeds. Tho Indian corn and
the sparse grass werc crudely green in
the Enclosures about the gray, weather
beaten Lighthouses, which stood distinct
against tho dark, rcstful tones Of tho
forest filling tho background. Tho
mountains with each remove wore every
changing disguise Of distance; shading
from sombcr green to dull purple; then
overlaid with dubious blue; mex.
showing truc turquoise richness; stu
farther delicate transient hue that has
no name; and 30 away to the vantage
ground of illusions, where tho ideal
poiscs upon tho horizon, and tho fact
and fantasy are undistinguishably
blended. Tho intermediate valleys ap-
peared in fragmcntary glimpscs hero
and there; sometimes there wss only
tho vcrdure Of tho tree tops; one was
cleft by canary-colored strcak which
betokencd q harvested whcat-ileld; In
another blazcd sapphire circle, where
the vertical sun burned in the waters Of
blue salt click"
Tho landscape was stiil-vcry still
not tho idlc floating Of . cloud, not tho
vague shifting Of shadow, not tho
fu.ter OF . wing.

COSTS OF TWO SUITS instead OF one and
then allows the landlord to collect
three times the amount of his bill.
We wonder how the one thousand ten.
ant farmers of South Dakota would
have relished Mr.. Taylor's medicine
this year, or the thousands of working
men in the cities who might chance to
get behind in their rent, to have the lib
cral exemption laws swept from under
them and their families left to the cold
charities of the landlords,
But upon the eighth day of March,
last, while the most of our people were
in blissfal ignorance of the terrible
devil fish that was being prepared for
them at the state capital, the following
document was filed with the Secretary
of the State.
PIERRE, S. %. March 8, 1880.
l Withhold my approval Of the follow
ing house bill No. 50 for the reason
that in my opinion it bcstowes an un.
warranted preference upon the rent
claim of the landlord, and provides cx-
traordinary means forits enforcement
! fail to see any canse for such destin-
alton in favor If the owner Of reality
against his tenant which not only de-
mics him all exemption provided for
the debtor, but provides for the seizure
OF his property upon separate proceed
ings and denies any remedial action ex-
cept upon the consent in writing of the
landlord. A. G. MELLErrE,
Governor.
We desire to warn our people of
possibilities that surround them, espec.
tally during the next session of the leg
islature,also that therewere extraordin-
ary efforts made to clectMr. Taylor to the
legislation against prominent Knight
Labor, brother Westdahl, but after the
work Of Mr.. Taylor IN the last legisla-
tion is analized it Is perfectly plain
why the tremendous effort to defeat a
Knight of Labor, and man of West.
dahl's principles aud elect Mr.. Taylor.
No knight Of Labor would have ever
drawn or cliampioncd such an infa.
nous measure, so the moneypower Of
the state was brought to bear to defeat
him and elect MIR. Taylor in his stead
and the above quotations must con-
vince all that the landlord interest had
the right man in the right piece.
AS to the veto Of Gov. Mellette we
can only repeat what we said in our
issue on March %, last.
"Brt thanks to Divine Pre- vllence
giving Us one official that could see
and fee; {nnd Lave the courage TO act)
''.a, the duty OF governu,en: was to
protect The weak against the strong.
But for Il brave aud fearless friend of
the masses. in Gov. Mellette, this dam
nabie bill would be- a law. When tins
devil fish in the shape of legal enact
ment came before the governor it was
properly vetoed which Of all the COM

MeHette should endear HIM above all
others in the hearts of the great masses

THE ANrI-SOUrH CONGRESS


fTimes-Demoerai. Rent PAL
Reeds Congress continues its
sectional work OF furnishing the
South for its Democracy. Yester-
day, it got in two more blows at
this section. Managing to get
together quorum, It unseated, in
less than fifteen minutes, TITO
Southern Democrats, and seated in
their place two negroes, Largston
and Miller, who were never elected.
No attempt WAS made to investigate
these contests, but Il was simply
part Of the Republican plan to un-
seat ~ many Southern Democrats
as possible. The latter may regard
it a a piece Of good luck that every
Southern member IL not unseate,i.
The other blow was aimed direct
" at Louisiana. A number Of
leading planters went to Washing.
ton to lay before Congress the in
justice Of the sugar schedule Of the
Mckinley bill, which denies them
either perfection or . bounty.
They stated the case 30 clearly be-
fore the committee, and the Louis
lana representatives supported them

THE LOTTERY REVENUE

Louisiana Lottery Company for
twenty-five years, for the sum Of

year,) viii be submitted to the
voters Of the State At the next gem
eral election. The United States
law forbidding the Lottery Com
pauy the use Of the mails will not
affect this question one wav or the
other. It Is for the people Of this
State alone to say whether the
Louisiana Lottery Company shall
be abolished, or whether it shall be
continued under the high license
system. It proposes to pay . good
round sum for the privilege Of con-
tinuing its business the State is
sadly in need Of the money, and -
. plain. matter-of-fact business
proposition, We believe it win be
promptly accepted BY . large ma
jority Of the people, after due re-
Election - to its merits and i'm
portance. It will double the entire
revenues Of the State for all pur-
poses, and more. too, without an
additional cent Of taxation. While
receiving this vast amount Of money
yearly, which will benefit all class
e Of our people, nothing is asked
in return but license to carry on
its business. No one l. compelled
to buy . Lottery ticket il he does
not feel 50 inclined. 1t il true.
there is . certain class Of people
Every limited in number) who don't
believe in lotteries-they never buy
. ticket themselves, and they don't
propose to let anybody else buy
one. In this respect they remind
Us Of the dog in the manager, who |
wouldn't eat the hay himself, neither !
would he let the horse get in to eat |
it. This evinces q very small spirit. |
For the qualification of their own
selishness and egotistism, they |
would defeat . measure that is full |
Of bright promise for the future |
prosperity Of our State. But the
coming campaign will show these
extremists how small |
they are In the sight Of the people,
especially those who have espoused
the Ant-Lottery cause to advance
their political aspirations and help
themselves in Office. Their hypo-
critical pretensions will be exposed
md their Waterloo win he at band.

inue to be discussed from the
