leading character in his state during
the last forty years, and served with
distinction in the rebel army. Many
of our veterans will remem Der him as
having the command of the Confed-
crate forces in Petersburg at the time
of the great mine explosion under
their breastworks and the assault of
the Union forces Immediately follow
ing. 1t was owing TO his unexam pied
bravery that the rebels rallied after
their first retreat and recaptured the
lost ground in and about the "Crater."
In the plications growing out of
the state debt of Virginia Gen. Ma
hone became the leader of the Read

that time the leader of the Republi-

his political affiliations he remained a
typical SOutherner.

The Governor has appointed j. II.
Murphy and James Bardon, of Supe-
rior, and sam. Fitield, of Ashland, as
committee TO meet similar COM
mittee from Minnesota to consider
and report upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
taking steps to form new state of
the territory adjacent to Lake Supe-
riOr. The movement is harmless and
will amount to nothing more than to
give the excellent gentleman above
named a little distinction.
The Milwaukee Sentinel in COM
menting upon the legislation lately
enacted in Texas against pugilism
says that paternal legislation is be-
coming popular in this country in
spite of the many declarations against
that class of laws. That is undoubt-
eddy true, but if popular government
means anything it is difficult to see
why that which shocks the moral
sentiment of large majority of the
people should not be forbidden by
that majority in an orderly and con-
stitutiOnal manner. Sometimes the
process of placing public opinion on
record in the form of statutes may be
tedious and difficult but if it is a ques-
tion of importance or one deemed inn
pOrtant, in a material or moral sense,
aud one in regard TO which the senti-
ment is permanent, the people may
be depended upon to reach the proper
solution in the end, and the cry of
'paternalism or socialism" will not
deter them.

From the Minneapolis iii Aes.
Sumptuart Laws.

President Carter, ri the American
Bar Association, dw$lls with trench
ant force upon thetfolly of making
laws that are impossible of enforce
ment. Some crank Evolves from his
inner consciousness BAN idea of what
ought to be. and wh$n he is sent to
the legislature he often succeeds in
putting his idea intS the form of
statute. RemarkiIB this tendency,
President Carter sa4l
The condition ofEwhat are called
sumptuary laws in the various states
is equally discreditaRle TO our know
ledge both of the sciSnce of legislation
and the teachings offeXperience. The
common notion th4t somehow laws
execute themselves Hems to hold its
sway over the publicImind, and even
over that of legislat4rS, in the face of
thousand demonstrations to the con-
trary. Multitudes fill busy them
selves with the work. OF securing the
passage of laws, uItder the illusion
that plenty of human instruments
may easily be found who will undergo
the labor of forcing fhem against the
passions, the beliefs tnd the interests
of other multitudes.t Such tasks can
be accomplished Only by a despot
armed with unlimited power. The
result is that our statute books are
bristlng with eqllal enactments
which have little effect in REFRESHING
the practices againsQ which they are
aimed. The COMMON mode of at
tempting to make Such legislation
more eflectual is simply to make still
further and more rigorous laws; that
is, to administer heavier doses of
remedy already proved TO be ineffect
ual. We're we to talse an account of
the moderate amodnt Of repression
actually effected 10y tsuch legislation,
and of the evasionI false swearing,
private animOsity an III contempt for
law engendered by tit, the balance
would be found woefsllly on the side
of public mischief.
The advocates of compulsory tenn
perance, compulsory patriotism, and
the other political kagaries of the
hour, might consider these we'll
weighed words will great profit to
themselves and advantage to Others.

As many of the Smaller cities in
Minnesota and adjacent states have
lately passed what istalled a 'curfew"
ordinance, by which persons under say
sixteen years, are liable to arrest if
found on the streetshfter nine O'Clock
at night, unless accompanied by
some person of full legal age, it will
be of interest to knoAy what "curfew'
really is, or vas. Albut the time of
the conquest of England by William
of Normandy, the hilse-fire was in a
hole in the middleton the floor of
earth, under an opeAing in the roof
by which the SMOKE escaped. This
was universal in Europe as we'll as
England, among thd common people
at least. The "cuIfew belP' was a
signal to the people Ito ''couvre feu'
cover the fire. and retire to rest.
Originally ii seemsb to have been a
sensible precaution against conflagra-
tions in towns builtfhiefly of thatch-
covered wooden hutS, but its severe
enforcement in England by the Con-
queror is said to hayb been to prevent
secret seditious asfmblages of the
people. The absolute prohibition of
all lights was reno I'D in HOO A. d.,
by Henry /. The hlurs varied from
seven to nine O'CLOCK at night, and in
Scotland ten was bot an unusual
hour. 1t seems, therefore, that
revival of "curfew Is step backward
of several hundred years, to day
when our ancestors Eere little better
than ignorant savates. 1t may be-
come quite the thing in our country,
but in one thing att least our people
will not be conten1 to retrace their
steps. They will nder exchange the
splendid railroad sfyice Of this day
for the ancient sttge-coach or the
canal-boat. Amonx the railroads of
America there is Bone to excel in

lington Route. Always ask your
