FOR THE LIVING, NOT THE DEAD.

That our Creator made the earth
for the use of the living and not for
the dead; that those who exist not
can have no use nor right in 1t, no
authority or power over it; that one
generation of men cannot foreclose or
burthen its use to another, which
comes to 1t In its Cwn right by the
same divine benefcence; that a, pre-
ceding generation cannot bind a sue
ceeding one by its laws or contracts;
these deriving their obligation from
the will of the existing majority, and
that majority being removed by death
another comes in its place with a will
equally free to make its own laws and
contracts. These are axioms so self
evident that no explanation can make
them palmer, for he is not TO be rea-
soned with who says that nonexistance
can control existence, or nothing can
move something, They are axioms
also pregnant with salutary conse-
quences. Thomas Jefferson.

any except fair and unbiased men.
"Mr. Reed has shown that he is not
that kind of man, and that 1T is ex-

him. With the aid of his rules he has
perverted the speakershlp into leg

Are they Mr.. Reeds rules? Ger
tainly not. They are the rules of the
house adopted by majority of that
body. In' answer to Mr.. Simpsons
criticisms of the speaker during the
special session and to Mr.. Bailey's
pointed observations, Mr.. Reed always
replied that he was simply the voice

Mr.. Reed is a "czar" it is true, and
