Compensation of Members OF
the Legislature.

An amendment is TO be submitted to
the people of Wisconsin this fall, which
is to determine whether a salaried COM
pensation shall be allowed to the MEM
bers of the Legislature. rather than q
per diem allowance. The law now al
lows $3.50 per diem, and mileage COM
pensation, SO long rs they continue at
Madison. whether for three, four, or five
months. The proposed amendment will
give TO the members the small salary of
$4,000 per annuni, which cannot be
Increased by attendance at a so called ex-
ira session Of the Legislature.
The members generally spin out the
session as to receive jus. about that sum.
Hence so far as the draft on the treasury
for legislative compensation is concerned,
the people will not lose anything b. the
change. But it is always discovered, that
when the session is spun out, maRy bad
laws are passed which ultimately cost the
people great deal of money. We there
fore think the change desirable one.
If the members received n fixed com
pensation, they will 90 to Madison, per-
feet the necessary legislation, and then
return to their constituents, and, instead
of having four or five months session ms
we frequently do now, two months will
be found amply sufficient, and the dam
gerous disturbances which protracted
sessions of the legislature create to ali ;he
business interests of the country, will be
AVOIDED Wisconsin.

The DEMOCRATIC RECORD We

to good to keep. 1t applies with peculi-
ar force to those who are saying that past
issues have nothing to do with the pres
ent time. The General said: ga mau

in Iowa county, and asked for marriage
license. The clerk got bis blank ready to
fill when he was asked if he couldn't date
the license back about six months. The
clerk replied of course that such action
would be unlawful" Well said the fellow

WoMAS SUFFRAGE Milwaukee SeHti-
mel closes sn article on Woman Suffrage with
the following able and conclusive argument
ave have heretofore stated the argument
which should be deemed conclusive as to the
whole question We shall re-state it in brief.
Man. as The stronger, both naturally and
legally owes support and protection to the
weaker. he is under natural and legal OBJ
legation 20 support and protect the women
and children. He has therefore a perfect
right, of which he cannot be deprived with
out destroying the obligation. to choose the
means of fulfilling the obligation. He must
be permitted to make and administer the laws
affecting industry. or his right to choose the
means Of support is infringed he must be
permitted to make the laws relating to wal
and peace and all criminal laws, or his right
10 choose the means of protection is infring-
ed. Just so Ear as these rights are taken from
him and transferred 10 those dependent upon
him. just so far are their legal dependence
and his obligation DESTROYED. If they, equal
Y with him. may choose the means, they are
bound 10 provide for and protect themselves
they are bound TO perform all kinds Of labor
and TO fight for their own defense. for theft
natural providers and protectors have been
released from all obligation to perform these
Offices for them. That is to say that it j;
mans province to make all laws and adm n
lister all the affairs Of government just so long
as lie remains the natural and legal supported
and protector Of his family. The logical and
legal effect Of woman suffrage or minor suif.
rage would be to dissolve the family relltior
and TO impose upon men. women and chill

A Coon REToRT.-Last Tuesday, as
Gen. Kellogg and Ike. Usher were re-
turning from their trip in the St. Croix
Valley, via the Minnesota Central Rail-
way. they fell in company with Judge
Flsndreau and Gen. German, who were
TO address a Democratic meeting at
Rochester, that evening.
As those Democratic speakers arrived
at Rochester, they were met at the De-
pot by rampant and defiant Democrats,
who fred cannon and yelled vocifer-
ously.
Judge Flandreau said to Gen. Kel-
logg-" this is the way the Democrats
receive us in Minnesota"
Gen. Kellogg replied" that is the
same way the Democrats Of the South
received our Federal soldiers during the
war"
The accounts between the Copperhead
Judge and the General were thus prompt

The American Watch Company, of Wal
than. Mass, respectfully submit that their
Walches are cheaper. more accurate, less COM
plex more durable better adapted for general
use and more easily Kept ia order and re-
paired than any other watches in the market.
They are simpler in structure. and therefore
stronger, and less likely to be injured than
the majority of foreign watches, which are
composed Of from l25 to 800 pieces. while in
an English watch there are more than 200
parts. How they run under the hardest Trial
watches can have, is shown by the following
letter:

GENTLEMEN The watches manufactured
BY on have been in use on this railroad for
several years by orr enginemen, To whom We
furnish watches as part of our equipment
There are now some three hundred OF them
carried on our line, and we consider them
good and reliable time-keepers. Indeed, /
have great satisfaction in saying your watch
Is give us less trouble, and have worn and do
wear much longer without repairs than any
watches we have ever had in Use on this road
As you are aware, we formerly trusted to
those of English manufacture, of acknowl-
edged good reputation but as a class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they
done as good service, as yours.
In these statements | am sustained by my
predecessor, Mr. Lewis, whose experience ex-
teaded over a series of years.
Respectfully,

vded with the Company's printed card of

Watch sold, so that buyers may feel sure that
they are purchasing the genuine article
There are numerous cOunterfeits and imita-
