THE FORGE BILL AN ISSUE

Every Republican platform that has been adopted by State conyen- tions since the adjournment of Con- gress has contained a declaration in favor of the force bill It has be- come apparent That the Republicans will make the infamous measure a leading issue Tn the next presidential campaign. Messrs. Lodge ard Hoar and Reed still dominate the party, and it is still deemed wise by the Re- publican managers to appeal to sec tiOnal prejudiccs. The people of the South will have to face this band of wolves again and must prepare to defend themselves. If the Republi- cans can solidify the North on this issue and split the South by encour- aging the Alliance to press the sub treasury they are sure to win. They wish to avold square vote on the tariff and the eXtravagances of the present administration. The monop- olists are willing to adopt any course which may insure them longer lease of the privilege to rob the people. Ii they could secure the adoption of a  system of federal elections which would make Democratic victories inn possible in the South, they would feel they had q perpetual grip upon the rule of the country. The pco- pie of the South should promptly suppress the sub-treasury schemers and all other misclncfmakers who are playing into the hands of the mouopolists, and maintain solid front against the conspirators who are seeking to put the South in chains. There never was a time when 1t was more necessary that the Democratic voters of the South should stand shoulder to shoulder everywhere. The Republican State platforms give the warning of the dangers ahead. We shall hear a great deal said about the force bill in Ohio before the campaign in that State shall have ended. The Rcpub. licans of Wisconsin will nominate for governor next year eX-Senator Spooner, who gained distinction fol the Senate chiefly by virtue of his advocacy of measures designed tC place Southern elections under the control of federal bayonets. It vii be found that President Harrison 1T his next message, though it be di. rected to Democratic house, will press the adoption of the force bill. The southern Democrats, if they would he true to themselves ana save their country from disaster should heed the clouds that have ap- peared in the political Armament. -

IF WE KNEW.

Could We but draw back the curtains That surrounds each others lives, See the naked heart and spirit,
 Know what spur the action gives, Often we should find it better,
 Purcr than we judge we should; We should love each other better If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives, See the good and bad within, Often we should love the sinner All the while We loathe the sin. Could we know the powers working To o'erthrow integrity, We should judge each others errors With more patient charity. If we knew the cares and trals, Knew the effort all in vain, And the bitter disappointment, Understood the loss and gain Would the grim external roughness Seem, wonder. just the same Should we help where now we hinder? Should we pity where we blame? An we judge each other harshly, Knowing not life's hidden force; Knowing not the fount of action Is less morbid at its source Seeing not amid the evil
 All the golden grains of good; Oh! we'd love each other better II we only understood.

BONNIE BESSIE" ]"
BY EMMA GARRISON JONES.

It was q spring day, sweet and bright, even amid the shadowy soli- tudcs of the Highland hills, with de- licious woodland odors, and ftful gleams of sunshine, and the tender beauty of bursting bud and opening bower
 Though the day was fast drawing to q close, "Bonnie Bessie" still fingered by the Highland spring, a breeding look of pain and regret, and half-formed resolve. in her great dark eyes. Everybody called her Bonnie Bessie, " from Lady Janet, of DuddIestone Castle, to Rob, the herds lad, of Black Lynn. The clergyman himself, good. grave, kindly man. had given her the title, when she first appeared at Black Lynn-a slim, slip of lass, with wild elf-locks, and sloe-black eyes, and cheeks like carnation.
 As she grew up to maidenhood the name clung to her. "Bonnie Bessie" everyone called her, and rightly enough for all the Highland lassles who gathered at the little Kirk Sab bath mornings not one was half so pretty and winning as Bessie Her young form was as slim and supple and graceful as a tall willow; her voice was the sweetest, when she sang and the charm ofher soft dusk eyes, and the sweet, shy smile of her red mouth, were irresistible.
 Squire Renfrew, of Red Pass, was desperately in love with Bessie and sought to make her hls wife, in spite of the difference in rank. The herds at the Red Pass were the finest and largest in the neighborhood, the barns and storchouses were always well filled. He was a bachelor, something over two score years old. And he wanted "Bonnie Bessie" for his wife.
 If the lassie thinks she can fancy me, he said, addressing Bessie s grandmother, as he stood under the low brown rafters of the little Black Lynn cottage, hot flush mounting to the shining crown of his bald head, "if the lassic thinks she can fancy me, the bargain $ made. I'm ready and willing to lead her to the kirk tomorrow and if good true husband, and some gold and silver will make her happy, she'll be as happy as a queen at the Red Pass. "
 Bessie listened with wide, startled eyes, burning cheeks and quivering lips.
 Her grandmother, 'auld Mither Burns, as the neighbors called her looked up with eager delight in every feature of her hard, time-worn old face. Such an offer was more than she had ever dared to dream of for Bessie.
 The lassie will find no trouble about fancying the likes O you, Squire Renfrew," she answered, rubbing her hands together and nod ding her head mp and down. "She' II jump at the chance O making the Red Pass her home, and be ready to walk to the kirk wi you whenever you say the word. I'll answer for that,
 Bessie held her piece, standing, { tall and slim, in D sort of stunned silence anti her gray-haired lover took h leaya Then she burst forth

He Did Not Adv ertise.

A nervous looking man went into store the other day and sat down for half an hour or so, when clerk asked him if there was anything he could do for him. He said no; he didn't want anything. She went away and he sat there half an hour longer when the proprietor went to him and asked him if he wanted to be shown anything. No" said the nervous man; II just wanted to sit around My physician has recommended perfect quiet for me, and says above all things l must avoid being in crowds. Noticing that you did not advertise in the Picayune thought that this would be as quiet place as I could find, so just dropped in for few hours to complete the isolation. The merchant picked up a bolt of cotton check to brain him but he went out. He said all he wanted was a quiet life.

fective inasmuch as it provides that in

ruary and per cent for each month
following, interest will have to be COM

The following editorial correspon-
dence from Pierre to the Rapid City
Republican shows reform measure:
Is it legal for the deputy clerk of the
United States circuit court and district
court of South Dakota, whose office is
located at the city of Deadwood, Law
renee county, to leave his Office, carrying
with him his records of said Office, and
proceed to remote parts Of said county,
outside of the city"of Deadwood and out
side of the county seat of said county,
and receive, at such remote points, from
persons of foreign birth, the declarations
of intention to become citizens of the
United States? And do such persons of
foreign birth, SO making their deelara
tons in remote parts of such county and
away from the clerks Office and county
seat, thereby acquired such citizenship
as to make them legal voters at the gen.
eral elections in this state?
On call of the roll the resolution was
adopted, yeas, go; nays, SO; not yot-
ing. Regain, democrat, Bowel, indie
pendent, and Speaker Seward voted in
the affirmative.
An engrossed copy of the resolution
was at once taken to the supreme court
in session where hearing was granted
Attorneys Parker and Martin who pro-
ceeded to argue their respective sides of
the case and the court took it under adj
visement
Republicans were jubilant over this
the first point they had scored after hav-
ing met with repeated reverses. They
were certain of being right on the point
of law and therefore expected a decision
in their favor, which would have the eff
feet to not only prevent further action in
unseating the Lawrence county members,
but reseat Robert Graham. 1t seemed
that a CLEAN of reason had at last pene-
trated the brain and bethroned the crazy
craftsmanship of at least two or three
members that justice was to be done.
But alas for human hopes based on a
fanatical mob, bound by secret organi-
cation and solemn oaths to obey the de-
cree of their masters
No sooner had the house taken re-
cess than the Independents were sum
moned into secret caucus, steered and
herded by leading democrats. The
| force and power OF the organization was
effectively brought to bear on the recall
citIants; they went into session in the
afternoon and reconsidered the resolution
and sent word to that effect to the SUI
preme court. This piratical combina-
| ton decided that they will not have an
Interpretation of the law from the high
est judicial tribunal; that s'Might makes
| right" that a majority of one in the Leg
islature gives the dominant party the
right to ride roughshod over all law and
/ justice and nnseat any and all obnoxious
members. This is the precedent now be-
ing established by the party of great
moral reform, which causes the Free
Press of this city to rise and remark,
ssGod pity our nation il this has come to
be considered legitimate politics"
