Western Churches.

THEODORE TIuToE, editor of the II.
Y. Independent, thus writes to that pa
per from the West
have less faith in Western churches
than in any other Western institutions.
| do not refer to their creeds or theolo-
gies-for each sect is welcome to its own.
But Western churches are generally in
debt, always begging of the East, aud,
like the comics, "feeble folk" Of
cuorse, the far West, the frontier, the
sparscly settled sections. the communities
that have pot yet grown rich, have n
right TO beg, But making every Just al
lowance, it is not to the credit of so ma
ny Western churches that they can't pay
their notes. l know of a Western civ
whose railroad depot cost moro money
than Trinity church, New York; and
yet was asked by committee of the
residents to incite our Brooklyn friends
to help build church near that Western
depot. / declined that proposal until
the committee should come to Brooklyn
and build decent shed for the Long Is
land railroad.
Those remarks apply very we'll to
Prescott. There are four orthodox chur-
ches here, each employing a pastor, and
having regular services. There are
about people enough who attend church
for two fair congregations. We believe
each of these churches receives aid from
abroad, and not one of them should have
a cent. OF course, there are weather.
communities than this, but this one is
abundantly able to support the institu-
tons Of the Gospel, and we regard it as
nothing short of disgrace for well-dress-
ed men and women, who live in eomfor-
table, if not luxurious homes, to 90 to
church and listen to preaching paid for,
in part, by the pittance given by the pr
Gus poor of the East. Sectarianism is
the devils bait which Western churches
feed on, and they grow weak on the poi
sonous food. We repeat a suggestion
made in these columns, that the churches
here should consolidate or adopt more
vigorous system of recruiting.

Tne legislature.

The Legislature conyenes on Wednesday
next. 1t IS impossible to see much for it to
do, but it viii probably be as long-lived as
its predecessors have been. "The wind blow
eth where it listeth," and Legislators blow
pretty much where they list also.
We feel it our duty to suggest short pro-
gramme for the Legislature, though we have
but little hope that it will follow all our sug-
gestions.
I.-Re-elect Tim. o. Howe, decisiyely.
2.-Repeal all the Statutes Of Wisconsin,
and then enact a few plain laws which COM
mon people and the ADLER class of lawyers can
understand.
3.-Submit to the people an amendment to
the Constitution providing that the Legisla-
ture shall meet but once in three years.
4.-Pass an act restraining Transportation
Companies from charging more for freight
on an article than the value of the article it.
self Passengers should be excepted from
this rule.
5.-Proyide by an act so plain that it can
not be misunderstood or eyaded, that if any
member of the Senate or Assembly shall in
troduce any bill which shall fail to pass
the member SO offering the bill shall be put
TO death within three hours after Its failure
This will reduce the General File" greatly
6.-Enact that no child shall hereafter be
born in the State of Wisconsin without the
child's consent. We regard this measure as
of very great Importance. Amy rejecting
man knows that it would have BEEN money
in the pockets Of most people if they had
never been born. What is life to most but a
succession of escapes from one evil to another
"a struggle with dire destinv--a series of
fruitless cndcavors to attain some wished-ior

ions. uutil at last, Ceatt seiges Them and per-
haps hurries them 10 worse evils in the here
