The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1876-02-24
on their consideration, Wednesday

would nearly bankrupt the govern
ment. etc. The resolutions asked the
passage of bill substantially the same
AS that introduced by Logan in Con
cress and passed last year, and which
was vetoed by the president. The
highest estimates of the amount which
it would take from the treasury were
about fifty millions, and 1t was vetoed
because no provision was made in the
bill for raising the money, not because
same would bankrupt the government.
III my opinion, while money and pub
lie lands to the value o. hundreds Of
millions are being granted yearly to
railroad and other corporations, and
this without bankrupting the govern
ment," so just and equitable measure
as that proposed in Mr.. Faggs resolu-
ton, should have its fate decided on
more substantial grounds than those
advanced by the gentlemen who
opposed it. The Assembly seemed
to think differently, however, and the
resolutions were indefinitely post
poned.
THE PARTY OF THE SEASON,
which took place at the Capitol on
Wednesday evening, was a brilliant
affair, of course; how could it other
wise be when SO many fair DANES are
temporarily sojourning here, and all
aching to display their charms and
fnery. Besides those already here,
scores of ladies from different portions
Of the state came eXpressl Y to attend
the centennial party" and they with
their escorts served to make the gather
ing one of the largest as it was the
best dressed, of any that has ever taken
place at the capital The centre of at
traction was, of course, the Assembly
Chamber, where Governor LudingtOn
presided at a patriotic gathering which
Peck, of La Crosse, addressed. The La
Crosse mans efforts to be humorous
were not as successful here as on other
occasions; still his remarks were well
received, and what was wanting in wit
was compensated for in patriotic eX-
pressions. 1t is a debatable question
whether patriotism and humOr are
proper ingredients for a we'll pointed
address. George Washington 5 attempt
to mix the two, is certainly hefty
argument on the negative side Of the
proposition.
And while the centennial ladies are
congratulating themselves on the sue
cess of their party, Chief Justice Ryan
is basking in the glory of having
sQUELCHED THE ASPIRATIONS
of one of their sex, who aspired to the
honor and dignity of an advocate at
the bar of his court. The lady who is
thus cruelty "shunted " from the main
track which leads to legal renown,
and doomed to plod along on the side
track of the GAINESVILLE circuit, IS Miss
Lavina GOOden, of GAINESVILLE, who
made application for admission to the
supreme bar in order to conduct a suit
which she had lost III the court
below, and which had been appealed
So, not only are the fair lady's Il sup
pose she is fair, though | have not seen
herr aspirations nipped in the bud, but
probably profitable retainer forfeited.
Judge Ryan in his decision expresses
himself as mot sorry that no statute
exists for the admission Of women to
the bar, for he does not deem it the
proper place for the exercise of her
peculiar qualities, or for the prcserva-
of her purity. "
