ESTIMATES FOR 1879.


1t will devolve upon you to provide for the def,
cheney thus exhibited, amounting to 1925, 795. 90,
and in addition thereto such sum as may be neces-
sary to provide for the publication of the new re-
vised statutes should the labor of the revisers re-
ceive legislative sanction; and such further sums,
if any, as may be appropriated during the present
session Ill excess of the secretary's estimates
Many propositions will doubtless come before
you involving the expenditure of considerable
sums of money. These various propositions will
receive your careful consideration. The people of
the state of Wisconsin will cheerfully pay all taxes
necessary for the successful prosecution of the
public business the protection of life and proper
ty, and the proper of its unfortunate and de-
pendent classes but they demand from you and
from me that there shall be retrenchment in all
lines OF pub lie expenditures where retrenchment
is practicable, and wise economy in all public
disbursements They realize that there Is parsi-'
mony which is waste, but none the less will they
public money for any but the most legitimate pur.
poses. It will be my highest privilege to cooperate
with you in all efforts to meet the reasonable an
ticipations Of the people in this behalf. 2'@A - "

The reports Of the state superintendent and of
the boarus of regents of the University and Nor,
NAL Schools will place before you all needful sta
tistics relative to this important branch Of state
polity. You will give the recommendations they
make such consideration as their Importance de-
mands. The great cost and diversity of the text
books used in our common schools are believed by
many to be serious evils, and fall with peculiar
severity upon that class Of citizens least able to bear
them. Coming directly from the people and rep
reGsnting as you do all sections of the state
doubt not you will be able, by a comparison of
views, to perfect measures which will remove all
just grounds of complaint. a9IdJ ITO &3ZIa09
The proper education of the children and youth
of state is among the most important duties Of
society. The state has undertaken this duty only
in part and should therefore cheerfully recognize
the efficient assistance rendered in this work by the
many private schools, and the excellent academies.
colleges and universities which receive no direct
assistance from the state. nT fse1 zz{+fy.s.

It thus appears that the direct tax is less than
one-tenth of the total tax. The entire state tax,
direct and indirect for the year 1877 is represented
by the receipts into the general fund, and amounts
before stated to Sc, and is only about
one-seventh of the total tax paid by the people.
From this amount has been paid all the expenses
of the state, including interest the state debt,
official salaries, cost of charitable and penal insti

withstanding the undoubted fact
that these notes were issued in aid
of the rebellion, in which
event they were illegal and void,
to make the proof that such
was the case. The transaction may
have been covered up in such a way
that it was impossible to make the
proof to the satisfaction of the
courts. But the people who have
to pay this large sum would be bet
ter satisfied if they knew that there
has been no official dereliction in
getting up the proof required.
But suppose that we were
mistaken when we charge that prop
err efforts were never made to get
up the proof, and suppose the notes
were legally issued, land we admit
the truth Fof sneither hypothesis,)
still, if the ten millions of the as
sets of the bank had not been
squandered by a Democratic ad-
ministration, the notes, would
have been paid off, without
entailing this additional burden
upon the people at time when
they are SO lily prepared for it.
We repeat all we have said about
the outrageous character of the
transaction. 1t is a debt for which,
under the decisions of the courts,
we are bound; but under honest
management it would have been
different. In support of this
assertion we cite the "facts"
stated above, and to them
we beg leave to call the attention of
our contemporary.

The Democratic party will de-
clare Senator Butler, of South
Carolina, public benefactor, and
when he shall have shufled off this
mortal coil will canonize his bones.
He has devised plan whereby the
Southern outrage question may be
disposed of with neatness and dis
patch. 1t is so simple and yet so
conclusive, that the only wonder is,
that it was not thought of before.
The plan is to call upon the Presi~
dent for the source of his
information upon which that
portion Of his message is based, and
then swear that the witnesses are
all liars. Great Butler! Before
this invention his exploits at Ham
burg where he punished the naughty
" niggers, and thereby elevated
himself into a Senatorial chair, pale
into insignifcance. The best way
in the world to get rid of trouble
some witness, who reveals damage
ing fact, is to swear that he lies
that is if you can convince the jury
that you do not lie yourself.

Subscrib Tor a Good, Rsliable News
paper.

i'hv DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
vii be kept up during the year
1879 TO their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation Of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ Of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish a paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub-
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view Of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction Of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY
WIG AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following
