SLANDERING INSULATION Re-
BUKED.--In discussing the bills rela-
tive to publication OF SupremeCourt
Reports, the Madison Democrat used
the following language,in reference
to Hon. VIM. E Carter, of Platteville:
"The members of the Legislature
who advocate this measure will have
grave questions to answer some time.
If Mr.. Carter, as q lawyer, receives
fee to do work as legislator, the
people will find it out eventually.
We hold him guiltless of suA
charge at present, but his advocacy
of this bill is not to his credit"
On the converting of the Assembly
that day, Mr.. Carter ar ose 10 his place
and,having the slanderous paragraph
read, proceeded in his direct, con-
vincing way to say that if the author
thereof wished to insinuate that he
had received, or was to receive, any
consideration for what he had done,
or should do, in the matter of the
Supreme Court Reports, it was Who'll
ly false and base. He occupied
double position-a member of thisAs-
sembly and a member OF theCommit-
tee of the BarAssociation ThisCom-
mittee had investigated the matter,
and had come to the conclusion that
what was embodied in the bill pre-
rented by him was the best. He
did not write the bill had not
advocated it; was not under obliga-
ton to advocate it, and if it wos
shown that any other measure was
better for the interests of the State,
than the one in question, he should
give such measure his cordial sup
port. He did not believe that such
insinuations as has been made in the
Democrat were calculated to help
the cause OF their authors and
he trusted that every member of
this body, would act honestly and
fearlessly, as he deemed for the best
interests of the State, regardless Of
the base insinuations that may be
made by any newspaper in the State.
While, with many others, we have
no sympathy for the bill in question,
and earnestly hepc for its defeat,
there is no shadow of ground for be-
lief or suspicion that Mr.. Carriers
position toward it will be influenced
by anything but strong conviction
of its merit or demerit. His gallant
and effective fight against the Nor
gan l.. Martin steal, in which he
was opposed by Kelly, Pope and all
the other lesser legal lightssof the
Assembly, establishes Mr.. Carter too
firmly in the esteem of the people
to bo shaken by a thousand such
squibs as the above in a Thousand
Democratic papers.

THE question as to whether the
President will veto the Silver bill or
not is still undecided. The general
opinion seems to be, however.
that, if he should not conclude to
vetoit, he will, at all events, not
approve it. A day or two will de-
velop his final determination in the
premises.

CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, WIS.,, February 2

David Taylor and Hon. Harlow S
Orion as Associate Justices Of the
Supreme Court, under the constitu
tional amendment adopted at the las,
election, has been of leading interes,
here this week. The Republicans
by agreement, met first, on Tues
day evening, and after several bal
lots, selected as their man David
Taylor, of Fond du Lac. This re.
suit, we must confess, is far from
what we had hoped or desired; and
leads US, with many others, to the
conclusion that as n means of secur-
ing the best men for the places, the
non-partisan plan adopted is not a
success.
Before the assembling Of the
convention the impression seemed
to prevail that either J.. +. Frisby, of
Washington, or VIM. E. Carter, of
Grant county, would be the nomi-
nee; but surprisingly Mr.. Frisby de-
veloped but little strength in the
convention, and more surprising
still, Mr.. Carter, though leading all
competitors from the start to the
last ballot, was finally defeated
through the malignant opposition,
and Misrepresentation Of o, C.Hath-
away, who unfortunately happens to
mis,represent Grant county in the
State Senate.
On Wednesday evening the DEM
ocrats in caucus decided their part
of the matter by nominating Judge
Orion, of this city. Though his
name had been little used in connec-
ton with the matter previously,
while others were pressed vigorous
ly, the general impression seems to
be that our political opponents have
in this instance made the best selec-
ton. Still it is not generally con-
sidered so superlativeIy good as to
establish undeniably that the plan
adopted is superior to the much
abused system Of regular party
nominations.
In Legislation, the Bancho.like
Morgan l.. Martin claim has attract
cd most attention this week. Thanks
to the skill, courage and integrity of
VIM. Il. Carter, it was yesterday
killed so dead that i: is not likely to
again arise to fright the souls Of
Legislators. Despite the best efforts
of w. d. Kelly, Carl &. Pope, ct al,
who are strongly suspicioned Of be-
ing acluated by motives other than
q desire to serve the State faithfully,
the Assembly refused to order the
resolution to third reading by the
suggestive vote Of ~ to &c.
Mr.. Lnchinger, of Green county,is
doing himself credit as champion
of proposition to amend the constl-
tuition 50 as to provide for Lcgisla-
live sessions only bicnnially. To
him are opposed majority of the
best talent of both parties, and yet
so patent is the justice and righte'
ousncss Of the proposition, that we
have strong hopes that the resolution
will pass. Certainly if it ever gets
before the people and is understood
by them, it will be ratified 10y an
overwhelming majority. The Leg
islature annually average about
100000. There is no reason why
n session once in two years should
cost much if any more, so that as an
economic measure, it is worth about
$50, Ooo per year. But its great ben
eft would be in lessoning 10y one
half the opportunity for vicious and
useless legislation.

The Confidence boys will open
the celebration Of the day by firing
a salute of 100 guns from Fort Hill
at daylight.
At 10 o'clock the two fire COM
panies, and the Los Angeles Guards
nnd such other organizations as
may be patriotic enough to join
them, will form in procession and
march over the advertised route,
preceded by bands of music.
AT Washington Gardens the La
dies Benevolent Society give a
grand dinner and picnic, where
those hungered and fatigued can
find recreation and refrss shment,
and at the same time contribute to
most worthy charity.
Those who do not wish to pro-
long their days pleasuring by a
trip to Washington Gardens will be
supplied with lunch that should
satisfy an epicure at Union Hall,
by the ladies Of the Presbyterian
Church.
At Agricultural Park, com menc-
ing at 2 O'Clock p. NJ there will be
two races-the first a two mile and
repeat trotting match and the Sec
ond a running race, mile heats,
two in three, both Of which will
undoubtedly be closely contested
and exciting events.
The days celebration will be
closed by two balls, one by the Los

and the other by the Turnverein
Germania at their hall, both of
which, If the previous entertain
ments Of the two organizations are
to be taken as criterions, will be

AN IMPORTANT FUNoTIuN STIMULATED

The kidneys exercise most important
functions, which are SO wearisome that
they tax to the utmost the strength and
endurance of these busy little organs.
Every breath, every pu ulsation OF the
heart, every movement of a limb, every
thought, makes waste and necessitates
the development OF new atoms. The
used up particles in the blood are slfted
from it and dissolved in a watery fluid
by the kidneys, which then discharge
this fluid into the bladder. A train of
disasters to the system would follow IL

The San Francisco Chronicle has
new theory of cellar excavations.
Alluding to the different expedi-
tions which have recently sought
this city in quest Of treasure trove,
and which have always beer
brought up with a rounI turn by
Chief of Police Harris, the CAron.
icte of the End inst. says:
The energy of a good portion OF
the private detective profession of
the city has lately been diverted
from less reputable and injurious
lines of investigation to q search
after hidden treasure, supposed to
be deposited somewhere in the
vicinity of the railroad depot at
Los Angeles. The people of that
city, however, with an insufficient
appreciation of things, have driven
oil several energetic deputations
and compelled them to suspend
digging operations. The inoite.
ment to this enterprise Is supposed
to proceed from convict in tho
State Prison, who has either wag-
gish notion to indulge or expects to
attain some favorable effect for
himself by connecting a story Of
Imaginary "swag." Whichever
may be the case, the whole force of
independent detectives should be
let into the secret, and the Los An
geles authorities, with due regard
for the public good, should permit
them to dig Indefinitely. If any
Inconvenience were likely to ensue,
this difficulty could be easily ad-
justed by procuring a revision of
the directions from the gentleman
in the Penitentiary, and the local
ity of the supposed bonanza trans.
ferred to one where the excavation
of cellar Is desirable. Mutual
benefit to both cities would result,
and the good-designing convict
might secure the lenient considera-
ton of the Governor as his re.
ward.
