THE BELLS on LETTER DAYS.

The bells of better days, they are ringing,
don't you hear
Their silver songs of pleasantness and
promises of cheer?
There are better days to come,
When the mill wheels whirr and hum,
When the harvests, rich and sweet.
Pour her their plenty at our feet,
And the bells. the bells of better days ring
clearl
The bells of better days-they are ringing
for the land.
Ringing out the idle dreamers, ringing in
the song-"Expand,
Where the paths OF progress run
Round the rampprts of the sun,
Where the islands of the sea
Own us sovereign own us free
And the people wave our banners, hand in
hand
The bells of better days-they are ringing
loud and sweet;
They are ringing for the islands that we've
won from battles heat
They are ringing for the flag,
For the nations dear old rag;
For the heroes one and all,
They are ringing-hear them call
Hear them hail the country forward on its
feet

the days that preceded and succeeded

for years he held the position afterward

knOwledged and accepted leader. al

A Duty ofthc Legislature.

The state will be pleased to note that
this day begins the last week OF the
legislature. unless there should be an
extension OF few days. which Is not
Altogether probable. The long delay In
getting down TO business has resulted
In the piling up OF great mass OF
measures, but small part of which
can be even given consideration. 1t
Will be fortunate IL the appropriation
bill gets through by adjournment time.
OF course, In the mass of bills which
have been introduced goodly propor-
ton have been considered In commit
tees and have met with various fates.
Some of them would be better Off IL
they had been plgeon-holed, others that
should have passed will be left on the
tables: needful legislation will suffer
while useless legislation takes It's
place. The legislature will adjourn
with a record Of not doing too much
law-making. Sometimes that Is q
blessing, and sometimes 1t isn't. In the
present instance 1t Is hard TO say what
but 1t is unfortunate that at this time
so little business could be done.
The public knows well all about the
delay and Its cause, and 1t is needless
to discuss it here. Much Of 1t is due
TO close election, largely caused by
serious defects in our election laws. If
the Legislature can do more in addition
to what It has done, 1t can yet crown
itself with glory by passing liberal
appropriation bill and amending the
election law In way that will obviate
the danger of situation. such as has
just been experienced. ever again &C.
