counties have their quotas filed. Those
incurables thus exchanged are almost in
every instance placed In unhealthy cells,
deprived of the attendance and fresh air
which in their case are almost indispen-
sable. 1t is difficult TO understand why
the Legislators cannot see facts which are
patent to every one else. Some years
ago the university demanded an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the erection of a
science hall. There was no pressing
need. The accommodations were fully
as good as those of nine tenths Of the
schools of the state. There was nothing
il the condition of the gay, healthy and
sometimes lawless students, which APP
pealed to humanity. But the appropria-
ton was made. The record of both
those measures, keeping in view the rela-
tive condition of the parties whose inter
q It's were to be subserved, is the sever
est structure that can be pronounced on
the state legislature.

The bill exempting the lands owned by
the Wisconsin Central Z. L, Company
from taxation for the period Of five years
passed the senate by large majority but
was defeated to-day il the house by
vote of 40 to As. Ever since its passage
| by the senate tie friends of the measure
were confident and iubilant. but this ao-
ton OF the assembly has thrown wet
blanket over all their hopes. They will
probably endeavor 10 reconsider to-mor-
row, but the man who changes his vote
on this question viii have very disa-
{ greeable odor cast upon him. 1t is hoped
/ and predicted that no person who voted
/ against the bill will vote in its favor
! should the question Of reconsideration
come up. The delegation from Manito-
voc county was solid upon this issue and
voted every time against the proposed
exemtion
/ Last night the committee on state
affairs submitted bill for the repeal of
the so called dog law which was order

Good judges now claim that the measure
will go sweeping" through the house
and probably pass the senate. In conse-
| quence thereof, owners of dogs may take
new courage and withhold the slaughter
| ofthe innocents for at least a while longer.
A bill was passed in the senate to-day
authorizing the Superintendent of public
| instruction to purchase four hundred
copies of Webster's or Worcester's die
| tlonaries, preference to be given to the
| cheaper work. 1t is to be hoped that
this measure will be either killed or
| amended in the house. Worcester is the
| cheaper work, and should the bill pass
IN It's present form the superintendent of
public instruction would be compelled to
| purchase the number of copies named
and distribute them to such schools as
need them throughout the state, The
diacritical marks and even the pronuuci-
alton OF many words conflict with Web

cester in the schools accustomed to Web
ster would make confusion worse con-

ORATORY AND ORATORS.
BY VIM. MATHEWS, LII. D.

Professor Mathews latest work, Or.
ATORY AND ORATORS, is sure to meet with
the same remarkable success which his
other works have attained. In his first
work, GETTING ON IN THE WORLD -
which has just reached its forty second
edition, Professor Matthews struck the
keynote of successful authorship, which
III each of the five succeeding volumes
from his pen he has wonderfully main
tanned. ORAToRY AND ORATORS is as
much book for the general public as
GETTING ON IN THE WORLD. In it is
found the same fascinating style, de-
lightful interminging of wit and wisdom,
the same wide knowledge of the best
men and best books, the same happy
way of giving his readers so much that
is practical and available for use in
very-day life. One leaves this work
with the feeling that he had been well
paid for reading it, that he has been well
. instructed as we'll as entertained, that he
is wiser than he was before he read it.
To the student, the clergyman, the
lawyer, the statesman and the public
speaker of every class, it is q book of
peculiar value and interest. 1t contains
many gems of oratorical eloquence and
wit from the greatest orators, and it is
filed with valuable thoughts and hints
on true oratory and true eloquence.
The following extracts from the press
in reference to this work may be of in
terest to our readers, and show how
thoroughly the subject is treated by the
author.

THE house is about in the right I

THE house is about in the right temper
now for treating all war claims. Gen
Bragg's action has been fruitful of good
results and now southern members are
voting solid against the allowance of
claims. The question Of loyalty should
play GO part in the action taken upon
claims presented to the house. The cit
lien suffers for the acts of his country
though as an individual he may be
blameless. Besides the claim of loyalty
in those instances in which compensation
is asked for property destroyed by union
troops, is simply an evidence of coward
ice or of an avaricious spirit which
sought to make wealth through the
country's trouble.

SENATOR BLAINE has written q very
long and very able letter in reply to
the criticisms Of William LLOYD Garrison
on his vote on the Chinese question.
Although every one acquainted with
Blaine's ambition to become president
will readily conceive that his vote was
more a bid for the Pacific vote than an
expression of honest conviction that the
immigration Of the Chinese is detrimen-
tai to the interests of the country, still
he presents strong array of facts in
opposition to the Chinese, and arguments
that deserve serious consideration.
Blaine has carefully informed himself of
all matters pertaining to the Chinese
question, whether done for the purpose
OF voting intelligently on the question,
or of suitably replying 10 Garrison's
structures, does not appear Ii the vice,
crime and loathsome diseases are as COM
mon among the Chinese as Blaine states,
then the people of California are justi-
fed is asking congress tor protection.
But the people viii hardly forget that
the ground on which the people of the
Pacific slope most strongly Insist upon
restriction of Chinese immigration, is
that of wages. As far rs crime is con-
cerned it would seem that vigorous en-
forcemen. Of the laws would deter its
commission among the Mongolians as
well as among any other race. Though
they are not citizens they are amenable
to the laws. Ii it be true that they are
leprous, that the women come under
contracts for prostitution and the men
under practical seryitude, then is it wise
for congress to interfere. The Senator's
letter cannot fail to raise Doubt in the
minds OF those who were disposed to
critlclse severely the passage Of the anti
Chinese bill, that the passage of the bill
was in the interests of physical and
moral purity. 1t viii repay a perusal
no matter what ones opionion may be
concerning the motive by which it was
prompted.

\ BILL appropriating $4,000 for an
addition to the Oshkosh Insane Asylum
was defeated in the assembly. The
reports do not state upon what ground
these sapient legislators refused to heed
the dictates of humanity. Every princi-
pie of charity and of economy urges that
some means be employed to provide for
the wants of these unfortunate people
who are stricken with the greatest calam-
ity known to man. The wretched Iegi.
lation of last year providing for the con-
strucaon OF county asylums utterly failed
to realize the expectations it gave rise to
on its enactment. The system is costly;
it is Ineffective; it places an unnecessary
burden on the state while taxing the
resources of the county to the utmost.
1t is a piece of i'll advised legislation,
something which counties cannot adopt
except at great sacrifice.
The proper thing at that time was to
make an addition to the Oshkosh asylum.
Because the improper thing was done at
that time is no reason for a persistent
refusal to recognize the proper thing
now. The law of last year should be
repealed on account of its utter unfitness
to meet the wants for which it was in
tended. With its repeal an appropria-
ton should be made for the enlargement
of the Oshkosh Asylum. 1t has all those
anxiliaries for the treatment of the insane
with which it is impossible to supply
county asylum. Physicians, attendants,
grounds aud treatment such as no single
county can afford to give.
This asylum is so crowded that it is
to obtain admission for an !
insane person from this county, without
taking some incurable person in ex-
change This shows that the different |

The accounts given of the plague in
Russia seem too terrible for belief. 1t is
said thousands upon thousands are dy-
ing, that the population of whole villages
are utterly wiped out and that Gordon
of soldiers are stationed around the in
fected district with instructions to shoot
every one who attempts to escape, and
thus to prevent the spread of the terrible
disease. The victims live about two
hours after they are seized with the fatal
disease and turn as black as negroes.
The corpses are burned and 50 are the
infected houses. Physicians can 10 moth
ing with the disease nor alleviate the suf-
ferings Of the afflicted. The government
endeavors to suppress the news so as to
allay the alarm of those living outside
the infected district. The Austrian and
German governments have established
the strictest quarantine and there is no
escape for the Russians. The story of
IS introduction to Russia seems to be a
fanciful one.
