THE REGISTRY LAW.

The bill that passed the Reform Assembly
last week repeating the registry law OF thu
state came up yesterday in the Senate, and
was indefinitely postponed by strict party
vote, l6 to Is, the Rcformers and Democrats
voting nay, and the Republicans voting aye
Milwaukee Sentinel.
What is there in the Registry
Law which makes it so offensive to
the average Democrat Does it
not operate equally upon all politi-
cal parties! Why is it more bur-
densome to the Democrat than the
Republican Will, or can Knight
or Peck inform us on this knotty
point

Gov TAYLOR has chosen new
confidential adviser or keeper of
the executive conscience. 1t seems
that suspicion has gradually dawn
ed upon the acute mental vision of
His Excellency that III. l.. Palmer
and George B. Smith are not the
pure and unselfish patriots that he
has taken them for, and that they
have always freely confessed them
selves to be; that their advice was
sometimes inspired by some other
considerations than an unswerving
affection for their country and their
cause. Accordingly he determined
to evict them from the kitchen
cabinet, and to find for the vacancy
some vigorous young intellect in
harmony with the progressive spirit
of the Reform party, some liberal
minded statesman of a self-sacritic-
ing spirit and the purity of the
freshly fallen snow. So he selected
Hon. A. q. Miller.

In his recent speech in Congress
on the national expenditures, Mr..
Dawes declared the expenses of
keeping up the Custom House at
Galena, ILL.,, exceeded its receipts.
The Galena Gazette gives the facts
and tigurers to show that in this, as
in many other statements he made,
he is in error. 1t says:
The Custom House at Galcna has been
cassed among the Improbable ones of the
country. 1t does not, to be sure, make any
eXtravagant preteniions, compared with New
York and Boston but when it Is shown, as
has been, that the average expenses of keep
ing up this Custom House for five years have
been only S939 per year, on an average, and
that it has been paid into the United States
Treasury in that time S42, 96131, leaving a
balance in favor of the Government of S:SS,-
1887, after paying all expenses, we conclude
that it has a character, at least, that can set
talsehood at defiance.

THE efforts to secure postal tele-
graphy have not ceased by any
means. There is now under consid-
Grafton in the Senate Committee of
Postottices bill favoring what is
called the Hubbard scheme. 1t in
wolves the creation of a telegraph
company who shall make contracts
with the government for the pur-
poses of sending messages received
through the postottice. The post
master general is to establish the
telegraph stations. The persistency
of the supporters of postal telegra-
ply may secure it finally. In the
meantime President Orion, of the
Western Union, is kept III constant
state of protest.

A PRoNUNCIAMENTO has been
issued by Don Carlos, in which he
frankly states his early intentions,
if nothing unusual occurs to balk
them. AS soon as he takes Blboa
he purposes to be crowned King OF
Spain in its cathedral He will then
absolve the Spaniards from their al
legiance to the Republican Govern
ment issue an address to the Pow
ers of Europe asking for their
countenance and assistance, and
place royal loan on the European
markets. The energy and ability
he has displayed, and the utter lack
of enterprise on the part of his OPP
ponents, give him good reason to
hope for the successful accomplish
ment of his plans. He would, under
present circumstances, make as good
a King, no doubt, as Spain will be
able to find.

WITH all other Reform organs in
the State, the DeDtOYW laboIs hard
to vindicate the action of Governor
Taylor in signing away the rights
of the people to Il railroad corpora
ton. Last week our neighbors
effort in this line was herculearn.
Opinions of lawyers and views of
other parties were heaped upon each
other profusely. Among these we find
an opinion from Matt II. Carpenter
and S. Fifeld, a Republican lawyer,
and Republican editor, the one giving
his opinion as an IHoney, and the
other as Member of the Assembly,
representing a district directly inter-
ested in and benefited by the Gov
eInor's action. These circumstances
understood, the people can conclude
how much weight ought to attach to
the views Of the gentlemen named.
That their action is such as other men
would take if similarly situated, no
one will question, aud no fault can be
found with them. Ii fair presen-
tation of the case was the Democrats
object these circumstances would
have been mentioned, but to talk OF
ttiyWess in connection with Reform
organs is ont Of order, and we re-
frain from doing SO further.

IN accordance with Reform con-
sistency, and with the well grounded
expectation of the claimants, the
Calkins-Proudiit printing steal is

AS we predicted sometime ago, so
we now reiterate, that history will

with which the state was ever
cursed.-Navtinene kugIe.

THE United States Senate has re-
jected the bill for an appropriation
in behalf of the proposed Centennial
Exposition III 1876, at Philadelphia,
and the bill has been referred to the
appropriation Committee. 1t is not
at all probable that Congress will
vote Governmental aid to an eNposi-

would be, and the propriety of which,
under the circumstances would at
the best be doubtful. Let Philadel-

The Railroads and Assembly Re.
1Ormers.

|
On Wednesday evening, the AS
sembly laid aside the Potter railroad
tariff bill, and took up bill on that
subject introduced by Mr.. West OF
this city, and passed it. The West
bill is sham and glaring fraud
upon the people, and we believe it
to De the product of some attorney
of the railroads. If the gentleman
who introduced it be not Il party to
the deception, or cannot see that 1t
is intended as an apology for these
hypocritical Reformers, in refusing
any relief upon the subject OF rail-
road tariffs, then he has not brains
enough to represent chicken-coop
in ROSTERS convention. The Re
publicans of the Assembly demand
ed the passage of the Potter bill,
the only one of those under cons'd-
Grafton worth fig. But no; these
Reformers would not only have
nothing, but something worse than
nothing, in the shape of Mr.. Vests
bill, knowing full well that the Sen
ate would not stultify itself by pass
ing any such measure. The hope
of the railroads and Reformers has
been that in this way no tariff bill
would be passed at all.
The Sentinel gives warning to
these gentlemen that it will expose
their treachery to the people, and 1t
begs the minority in the Assembly
to put these gentlemen on the record
by calling for the ayes and noes on
the Potter bill. Then if the bill is
defeated, the railroad agents that
effect it will be hoisted by their own
petard, for it will be the political
death-knell to each and every man
who votes against it. The people
are in no humor to be longer tritled
with on this railroad question, and
this fact might as well be taken IN
by the Assembly in its full signifi-
canoe. The industrial interests of
the State, in addition to paying their
full transportation tax, have been
plundered of millions of dollars an
nually for years past. Relief from
this iniquity was the chief consider
alton which gave the State to the
Reformers last fall. The Republican
Senate has met these gentlemen two
thirds of the way on the road. Now,
if the people do not find relief, and
at this present session, and IN this
only bin which promises relief, the
responsibility cannot be divided,
but must rest altogether on the
shoulders of the Reformers.
Choose We, Reformers, this day,
who you viii serve, God or Nam
mon, the railroads or the people
And do not forget that the eyes OF
the suffering multitude are upon
you, and that your choice will be
evidence alone by your vote upon
this pro rata bill.-Ailca"hee See

THE Ways and Means Committee
is still inquiring into the workings
of the moiety system. The whole
evil and kindred evils would be
remedied by the passage OF bill
abolishing the fee system as it now
obtains in the General Government.
This bin was approved Friday by
the House Committee on Civil Ser
vice Reform. 1T contains two Sec
tons. The first provides that no
officer of the United States shall
directly or indirectly receive or be
paid to or for his own use or benefit
any money or property whatever
of the United States, except salary
to be fixed by law and that no
public property shall be used by
officials for private purposes, This
latter prohibition is aimed at the
kind of abuses which defeated At
torney General Williams as candl-
date for Chief Justice Of the United
States. The second section is q
proviso that the act should not be
so construed as to prevent the pay
ment from the Treasury of all actu-
al and necessary travelling expenses
of the United States officials, when
performing the legitimate and neces-
sary duties pertaining to their otf'.
ces. The moities come out OF
money or property of the United
States for the informer and others
derive their title to the money and
property in all cases from the United
States Government.

DISPATCHES from Madison indl-
cate that GOV. Taylor has determined
to veto the bill comforting the ST.
Croix land grant on the Northern

ern Pacific Airline Railroad Com
panies. 1t will be remembered that
the competitor for this subsidy was
the Wisconsin Railway, or "Dollar
Company" This corporation, II
will also be remembered, is the
loye-child of the st. Paul Railroad
Company, aud has for its president
Mr.. John W Cary, the attorney OF
the latter concern. These facts be-
