FlRE.-Our citizens on Friday morning last,
about quarter past twelve, were aroused from their
midnight slumbers by the sad intelligence of the
cry OF fire fire ! fire !! a.! which broke out in
the three story block of buildings owned by Mr.
Daniel Whitney, and occupied by Messrs White
q briggs, d Butler, and w. d. Colburn, mer-
chants, by the Phoenix office and also by the She
riff office. We believe all the merchandise was
saved, except some provision and grain. The
office OF the Phoenix was entirely destroyed, with
all the papers End maps of the District Surveyor,
and also all the books and papers of the Sheriff s
office. The building entirely consumed, and
the whole loss presume will not be far short of
$1,000 Green Bay Republican.

SOUTHPORT, WIS, JANUARY 4, 1912.
TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE,

The Legislature adjourned on the 9th ult. for a
period of ten days. But one bill was passed by
both houses, which however was finally lost by be-
ing vetoed by the Governor. The bill proposed to
borrow money pay the expenses of the legislature.
Several matters of interest to the Territory have
been agitated, but how much will be accomplished
before the Legislature has exhausted the time al
loted to the session by law, it is impossible to form
opinion.
We observe that Hon. WILLIAM BUItEN has in
troduced certain amendments to the rules of the
Council; one of which is that all nominations by
executive, shall be referred to standing committee.
before being acted upon By the Council. This we
regard as salu;ary measure, and one which is
well calculated to prevent Executive impositions.
1t is well known that Gov. Doty in many cases, has
nominated persons to office without regard to NOR
al character, or other qualification The rule
therefore introduced by Mr.. Bullen, will prove an
excellent safeguard against an infection on the
people, of set of worthless public officers. 1t will
be the duty Of this committee to enquire into the
charac ter and qualifications of the persons nomina-
led to Office by the Governor, which will enable
the Council to act understandngly, when nominal
tons come before them for confirmation.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGrsLA TURE-It is not
our purpose at this time, to speak in commentator
or condemnation of the adjournment of the egisa-
ture; but have other objects in view, in the re-
marks which we make on this subject We have
attempted to show on former occasions, that while
we sustained our Territorial relations towards the
general government, course of extravaganza
would characterize our legislatures and public
tunctionaries. The past history of our Territory
up TO the present moment demonstrates this posi-
ton. So long the members of our legislature
are paid by the general government, the people
look with comparative Indifference upon exrava.
.ant and wastetul expenditures. But must it not
be apparent to every thinking man. that the system
of proflgacy practsed under our Territorial gov
eminent, will essentially affect our future habits of
economy State The influence exerted under
the present state OF things will extend to the future
and tell upon our destines a people. And the
longer our legislatures play the spendthrift, while
the people passively regard their career the more
difficult will 1t be to stem the tide of extravaganza
when we assume our rank as an Independent State
Unless the people of Wisconsin, are exempt from

of the world have controlled human nature the ex-
ample which Is from year to year exhibited by the
peoples agents, must be any thing but salutary.
Were it not that individuals of high standing in
the legislature, during the present session have la
bored hard to frighten the people from becoming
State, by arguments Astounding more in sophstry
than logic, we should not at this time have deemed
considering the comparative pecuniary advantages
between State and Territorial government.
great pains taken to draw startling picture of
expenditures. To show how idle and extravagant
1t is, to calculate the expenses of State govern
ment by assuming our present Territorial expenses
as the basis, at least in some of its departments,
may be seen by reference to facts. The appropria-
lions granted by Congress, for the pay of the Lee
gislatlve Assembly of this Territory, since 1886
have been as follows -
