the fact that Senator John ?. Jones

this would represent a profit large

be the end; it cannot be possible
that another Legislature will dare
to appropriate another dollar to this
audacious beggar. But behold! the

DOLLARS more from the pockets Of
the people, and Governor VIM. E.
Smith, having the power to prevent,
sits smiling by and allows it to be
done.
All Democrats except seven who
voted in both houses, supported the
bill, while all Republicans except
fifteen opposed it; clearly showing
that the Governor, had he vetoed
it, would have been sure of the
support Of his party and many
honest men besides. W. H. B.

STA TIE CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON, WIS, March % 1878.
But for lack of equal ability or
opportunity, or both, the Wiscon-
sin Legislature Of 1878 would I'M
questionably take rank in history
with those that were swont to u.s.
sernblc at the Capitol in the good
old Democratic times of " Barstow
and the Balance" Ability and OPP
portunity being wanting, however,
the retiring Legislature has done but
little harm that will be felt beyond
the year of its accomplishment, and
less good that is worthy of consid-
Grafton.
The success of the notorious
Calkins Claim, by which over
$4,000 is practically stolen from
tie pockets of the people, clearly
indicates that repetition Of the
villainics perpetratel in 1856 would
have been possible in 1873, had
there been La Crosse Land Grant
to dispose of. After first appearing
in the Assembly, and being there
defeated by a tic vote, another bill
covering the same steal, slid through
the Senate by the surprising vote
of Ia to 8, and thence was engin
eered through the Assembly by a
majority of one; Mr.. Speaker Bar
rows, who voted against tho Assem-
bly, bill, voting for that of the Sen
ate. That our readers may know

Among many who earnestly de-
sired and advocated the Governors
nomination and election the TR1B-
UNE confesses to growing fear
that grave mistake has been made.
That our readers may judge
whether or not our severity is war
ranted in treating of this matter,
we will give synoptical history Of
the various "Calkins Claims" as
found in the report made on it by
Senators Treat and WEIGH, as
minority of the Senate committee
on claims:
In 1858 Calkins printed, without
authority oflaw, assessment blanks,
substantially the same as those now
used for listing personal property,
sufficient for the entire state; az.
gregating 5640 quires of half sheet
foolscap blanks, and made a bill to
the State therefor Of $5,64O.O0-
ONE DOLLAR FOR EVERY oUIRE, or
over four cents for each blank.
This bill the Comptroller refused
to audit, on the grounds that the
work was unauthorized by law,
that many Of the blanks had been
refused by the counties, and that
the price charged was exorbitant.
The claimant sued in the courts for
the amount and was beaten. In
1859 a claim was presented to the
Legislature, and after careful in
vestigation Of all the facts connected
with it, bill appropriating to
the claimant the sum of $1,25O.OO
was passed. Thence till 1858
Calkins appeared before various
Legislatures asking further allow.
ance, and was as often refused. In
1865 he was more successful, and
sncured the passage Of a bill an
thorizing the Secretary of State to
issue to Calkins a warrant for such
sum as would, when added to the
$l,25O.00 paid him in 1850, equal
one dollar per quirc for all the
blanks WHICH HAD BEEN accepted
and used by the county officers.
Under this law it was found that
the number of blanks accepted
amp used was 4l75 quires, valued
at 81, 1880; from which was de-
Quoted the $4,000 paid in 1859,
