Wisconsin Legislature.

This body has now organized, and may be said
to be ready for business We shall endeavor to
keep our readers posted up in all the important
matters before the Legislature, condensed from
the Madison papers. 1t is very desirable that the
Legislature take the advice of the Governor in re-
lation to short sessions If one hundred and seven
men, cannot enact in six weeks, all the laws nee
essary be passed in year for the dear People
of Wise Onsn there be little hope of their doing
it at all. We sincerely hope that whatever other
laws they pass, they will provide some means for
having all important ones published in some way
that the people may have an opportunity of know
ing what they are Heretofore many of the laws
have not been published until near the close of the
year, and by the time they are in the hands of
Justices of the Peace and Others a new Legislature
is ready to alter or repeal them. A trifing ex-
pense would secure their publication in every pa
per in the State, where every man would have
chance to learn the Law and should not hear
so much complaint from all quarters, that no
copies of the Session Laws can be obtained.

The LIQUOR Question.

AHo Liquor &uSSIlOu.
The present Legislature of Wisconsin, if it is
governed by the principles of true Democracy, as
large portion of the members profess to be- is
in duty bound to pass Prohibitory Liquor Law
for the State. The majority at the recent election
in favor Of such Law, though not as large as
desirable sufficiently great to satisfy ev-
cry member of the Legislature that majority of
the voters Of the Stale desire a Law prohibiting
the sale of intoxicating Liquors, as beverage
If the members of the Legislature hold the doc
trine that the majority should rule, they have no
alternative but to enact such Law. The fact
that the vote upon that question was not as great
as for state officers is evidence that those who
failed TO vote upon the question were opposed to
it but rather that they had no objection to the
Law If others desired it, and it is very evident that
had every man who voted for state officers voted
on the prohibitory question. the majority would
have been increased rather than diminished.
We see that many of the papers of the State,
are urging the necessity of petitioning the Legs-
ature upon this subject. We have no objection to
such petitions if the people desire to send their
names to the Legislature again. upon such memo
riais out really, we can see no necessity Ior It
Every member of the Legislature knows that the
petitions for the Law at the last session, outnum-
bered the remonstrances by many Thousands
They also know the result of the vote at the fall
election. If with such evidence before them that
majority of the people of the State desire Pro-
hibitory Liquor Law, they would vote against it,
we have idea their votes would be changed,
nine tenths of the voters of the State to petit
ton for it.

School an6. University Money.

The general prosperity of the country may be
inferred from the fact that there is now lying idle
in the State Treasury, about $4,000 of School
money, and nearly 81 900 belonging to the Uni
versity Fund, which can be obtained by any per
son. on giving adequate security, at the low rate
of seven per cent. The fact that such amount
of money which can be readily obtained should
remain in the treasury, notwithstanding the low
rate of interest required, shows that whatever
pressure in the money market" may be felt in
other states it does not extend to Wisconsin. An
abundent harvest having filled the granaries, and
repenished the purses of our farmers, they are re
lieved from the necessity of borrowing capital to
the same extent as during former years. Their
