VICTOR HUGO'S CREED

Nv soul drink in its future life
lake some green forest thrice cat down,
Whose shoots defy the aXeman's strife,
And skyward spreads grcener crown.
While sunshin" giIds my aged head,
And bOunteOus earth supplies my food,
The lamps Of God their soft light she'd,
And distant worlds are understood.
Say not my soul is but clOd,
Resultant Of NY body's powers
She plumrs her wings to fly to God,
And will not est outside His bowers.
The winters SHOWS are on my brow,
But summer -uns more brightly glow,
And viOlet-, liihcs, roses, now
Seem sweeter han long years ago.
A. approach Ivy earthly end
Much palmer can hear afar
Immortal sym monies which blend
To welcome l. from star to star.
Though marvcl ,us il still is plain
A fairy tale, ct history
Losing earth, & '.eayen we gain
With death, in Immortality.
FOR fifty years tIy willing pen,
In history, d ma, and romance,
18th satire, 50 nets, or with men
Has flown Of anced its busy dance.
All themes t, ed and yet know
Ten thOusanJ times as much unSaid
Eemains in me 1t must be So
Though ages hOuld not find me dead.
When unto du we return once more,
We can say, lone DAYS work is done );
We may not "a r., " Our work is DER"

The tomb is no. an endless night

That closes i'll soft twilight
And open il cternal day.

But God is / we Let none despair.

CONGRESSMAN P1cKLER, of S. D.

CONGRESSMAN P1cKLER, of S. D.,
debating the Indian appropriation
bill, said:
THE solution of the Indian
problem of the future is in the
education of their young. We
have the Indians on our hands
and can move them no further
toward the setting sun. The at
tempt to cut down appropriations
for Indian schools in the East, is
a deadly blow at the West. If
the schools in the East are hamp-
cred and ultimately closed, the
people along the Atlantic coast
would soon be out of reach and
entirely devoid of sympathy with
the West, and our own Indian
schools would be dealt with on &
niggardly scale and our aborigine:
of the frontier would again be-
come savages, amenable only te
the discipline of brute force
whereas now they are sub-ordinat
ed to intelligence and reason"

AT present there is plethora of
money at the financial centers of
the country. This shows great
prosperity and at the same time a
lack of confidence in the future.
But men of great wealth soon tire
of unproductive capital, and the
market must naturally expand,
ending in a broad market in which
enterprises of all kinds may be
foated. Just now mercantile
lines are quite active in the West,
due to the good crops of last sea-
son; owing to the. low prices of
cotton, it is low in the South.
