To Members of the Legislature.

y copy of this number of our paper will be sent
TO each member of both houses Of the Legislature
1t has been the practice heretofore for each
house to authorize each member thereof to take
from five to fifteen daily papers, which have been
construed to cover six times as many wceklics, if
such should be chosen by the members.
The justice of the practice is certainly question
able. The Constitution specifics the amount of
pay each member shall receive and this should
cover all personal expenses 1t does not provide
for purchasing stationery, pen-kniyeS or ANYTHING
of that sort, for the personal use of members,
And hats, coats, and boots, could be rs rghtfulI,
purchased BY thu pail ic moneys as these items.
The practice grew thus Members like to have
ther proceedings published, ami they have the Va,
nifty common TO all men of wishing 10 see THEN
names in print. Publishers like to sell papers
and tickle them with the idea of sending reports to
their constituents and under the plea of benefit
ting their constituents, coax them TO take great
numbers. This is first done hv papers at the Ca
pital. Seeing that it is profitable other publish
ers claim as good right 10 receive attention +;
and members from their vicinitjcs, feeling under
obligations to them, canvass for them.
The principle is all wrong. Ii is certainly just
as right for members 10 buy papers from the most
remote corners of the State, as from the Capital
bat il is wrong to buy any,
With this view, We will no, ask members to pay
for our paper from the Slate funds, if they will
treat all alike. The Legislature is a respectable
audience, and one we wish to address. And if

FREE NOTICES.

Births, marriages. deaths, church meetings and
grateful cards of the recipients Of Donation Par
ties, are expected to be advertised without pay.
The custom, in country places, has come to be al
most universal. Obituary notices arc supposed
to be given as the tribute of sympathy, chur,h no
tees as part of the tax due from the publishers to
sustain the institution, and grateful cards on the
same basis, 1t is supposed that the married pair
will mako present to the publisher for their no.
tice TO compensate for his labor.
Tributes of sympathy and the dues tor sustain
ing religious instruction, can be better given in
more tangible FORM and then the bridal CAKE,
though costing much money in its construction,
had always be better thrown away than eaten, be
cause it is made SO rich as to be indigcstbc and
unwholesome. Fifty cents or dollar, though not
the cost of the cake, would do infinitely more good
"The LdJorer IS ,eortLg Of has hire" is true doc
trine.
Mr.. Buckminster, whose marriage is announced
in another column, appreciated the matter better,
for dollar accompanied the note. This will help
paw our journeymen while cake costing five dol
lars would do no good.

Spooncr, on his retiring from the Bench The
R,gofte,' says scarcely any of the Bar attended,
though c. NJ. Bakers name is signed as Presi-

proceedings mean nothing and are not sincere, and
thcn proceeds in the most wauton manncrto abuse
Judge Spooncr, Among the remarks occurs the
following:
THIS Judge has been upon the bench about
seven mOnths--has held Court at the rcgulnr term
time, and then again adjourned term at the in
stis.;ltion of the Clerk and the rest OF the hungry
family
"a man sell, his party to make a governor, the
governor reward, the man i'll turn with a Judge
snip for brief period"
together with a long trade in the same strain.
We agree with the Reporter that Bar Meetings
are usually matters Of course, lacking sincerity,
but it should remember that the Judge had moth
inc to do with this one as the Presidents and Sec
rctary's standing preclude this superstition. Be,

THE TEMPERANCE LEAGUE.

The second number of the Temperance Leagle
comes to us with request to exchange. We
cheerfully grant it. The League is published by
the Executive Committee of the State Temper
ance League, and edited by the Rev. j. G. VIII
son, of Milwaukee; and is in measure, the con-
tnuaton of the campaign paper, published under
the same auspices, last Fall
Mr.. Wilson has the reputation Of being one Of
the ablest clcrgymcn of Mlwaukec. But the NUM-
Der before us is staid, and sober, and common
place there is no point about it, nothing 10 mark
it above the Local Press of the State in ability or
adaptation to the Reform it advocates.
1t starts with a circulation of eight hundred at
one dollar year and though the cause is worthy
of better success, we fear it cannot live
Ostensibly it is the same the Campaign Pa
per, and prejudice exists against it all over the
State, growing out of the action of the League to-
wards NIadams Nichols and Fowler. But 1t is
published by a ne,o Committc and Editor
and should not suffer for the errors of the old.
In this connection we will mention that one of
the Committee, the other day at Milwaukee, eN-
pressed himself severely against the editor of the
Free Democrat i: and said he had done the caltsc of
Temperance much harm in his tour throughout
the State last Fall-that he had done a II he could
against the Lcayue and those connected with it.
His view is mistaken one. Mr. Booth nowhere
said a word against the League its course, so
far as we heard, and VIC heard him in several por-
tons of the Statc.-D.
