THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Smith delivered his sec
ond annual message to both Houses of
| the Legislature in joint convention as
sembled in the Assembly Chamber. at
noon on Tuesday last. 1t is compre-
hensive resume of State affairs and the
recommendations made by the execu-
tive should receive careful and candid
consideration at the hands of the Leg
islature. The message is the subject
of very general praise from Democrat
ic as well as Republican journals. The
Governor has hopeful and encourag-
ing way of putting things, supported
by facts and figures, which makes this
important State document entertain
ing reading, his remarks upon those
companion subjects, assessment and
taxation, being especially appropriate;
the effort to secure UNI formlty IN text
books for the use of schools through
of the same is earnestly commended;
in dwelling upon the Prison Depart
ment of our State Government the
Governor expresses the belief that
there should be radical change in
the law relating to sentences, as he
thinks that both the law and judges
are too lenient in dealing with profess
sional criminals, and that in other in
stances the opposite extreme is some
times reached and sentences are made
too severe; applications for pardons
and documents submitted Herewith
give the executive excellent facilities
for a rigid examination of this SUBJ
ject and we doubt not that his convic-
tions upon this subject are well found
ed; the recommendation of the passage
of general law under which cities
may be Incorporated will be warmly
seconded by all who are familiar with
the manner in which city charters are
originated and the unnecessary ex-
pense to the State attending their pas
sage, enrolment and publication.
While Governor Smith is friend of
the worthy unfortunate he justly de-
nounces the genus tramp and urges
the enactment of law that will work
a suppression of the tramp nuisance;
he says that the tramps shave been
thoroughly tried, and it is conclusively
established that the only thing they
will not do, is to work."

Ir is said that some of the Demo-

Col. Brodhead, of Missouri is thes'com-

fertile Imagination of some newspaper
correspondent.

A SCHEME is on foot to make Colonel
Miles Adjutant General of the Army.
The gallant Colonel is related by mar
riage to the Ohio Sherman family
and the Pennsylvania Cameron family,
which fact coupled with his success as
an Indian fighter will doubtless enable
him TO "jump" the eight other Col
onels ranking him. 1t is sometimes
very convenient to have wife who is
related to prominent statesmen and
military chieftains.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATIONS HELD AT
SPRING VALLEY, JAN. l l, 1879.

Called to order by Supt. Baker. Mrs.
III. l.. Maxgood III an essay. urged that
parents and pupils had many rights
which teachers should respect, and
look at the subject from both stand
points. Rules made should, when re-
lating to health, be flexible. Teach
them self control. The essayist
claimed that the enforcement of too
rigid discipline was destructive to re-
publican ideas. Bring love and sym.
pathy into school, The result of too
much discipline was strongly drawn.
Danger of sacrificing the child to am
bition and love of favor, was pointed
out. Districts should use great care
in hiring teachers.
Written Spelling. by Miss Carpenter,
was warmly discussed and after vain
ly trying to persuade the Association
that written spelling was better, it
was "ResoLued, That every class should
spell orally once each day." Affirma-
tive, seven, negative five. None
would reject some written spelling -

Music, by s. Brown, Idea presented
that music is quoting, subduing
power, and to promote the general
pleasant tone of the school, it has no
equal. Also to prevent hardness it is
wonderful in its effects, when the ex-
ercise comes the first thing in the
morning. Discussion by Mr.. Martin,
Mr.. Ferguson. Idea agreed to by all
who discussed it, that it should be
taught as we'll as the common branch
es. AS refining influence it has no
equal. Supt. Baker suggests Loomis
First Steps in Music. Commence by
note singing and then they will be
ready to receive instruction. Mr..
Knight presented some good thoughts,
speaking in the highest terms of music
as a moral elevator.
Philosophy, Mr.. j. Martin. To be
taught in common schools as gener-
al exercise in connection with Physiol-
ogy. Give from FIVE to ten minutes.
Philosophy is in everything and the
why should always be given. Differ
ent persons gave their method of con-
Quoting a recitation (as general ex-
ercise) in philosophy.
Supt. Baker, Advanced Reading. He
gave the different ways of emphasizing.
Miss Elma Ross took briefly class in
reading. Discussion by Mr.. Ferguson.
He stated that TO teach articulation,
first, teach them the use of the vocals,
subvocals and aspirates. 1t should be
taught by the parents at home by u.s.
| ing good language, and thereby form
ing the habit early in life. Rev. W.
G. Ross took the stand that the fault
lies exclusively with the teacher; home
habit not having all to do with it.
Miss Lettie Ross, History, an Essay.
The writer urged the Importance of
the study of History. Recommended
it for private reading. Discussed at
length. Make the tchy the more i'm

The House of Representatives did
itself credit last Friday in defeating,
by decisive majority, the bill to re-
imburse the College of William and
Mary, of Virginia, for losses sustained
during the war. The Madison Dem
ocrat commends this action in the
following language. ''The College of
William and Mary is no worse off than
hundreds of other public institutions
in the South. Several State capitols,
innumerable churches, and private
dwellings suffered, but it is the penal
ty of treason, and the sufferers can
bear it as well as the thousands of
children of the North can bear the loss
of fathers, the thousands of wives the
loss of husbands and the thousands of
mothers the loss of sons. The people
of Virginiaspassed the ordinance of Sc
cession and took their State and their
College out from under the protection
of the federal government and had it
destroyed by the iron heel of war.
They now have no claim on the gov
ernment for reimbursement. 1t is
Just as well to have it understood now,
that State takes its own chances on
losing its colleges, churches and other
public buildings when it engages in
rebellion.

The intemperance said to exist
among ladies who move in the highest
society of New York City is now the
subject of newspaper comment among
the journals of that city. The infor-
nation is CLEANED from reputable ply
sicIans whose profession brings them
into intimate relation with the bon ton,
that habits of drinking TO excess are
quite prevalent in ''polite" circles
there. The development of this habit
when once acquired is said to be more
rapid in women than men, and much
more injurious in its effects. AS soon
as the temperance apostles complete
their labors in the West let them do a
little missionary work among the lead
ers in New York society, where people
are generally presumed to be ''just
about right"

Do not engage a teacher until you

boards. giving list OF those holding
first, second and third grade certifi-
Gates, and other hints.
WE are satisfied that majority of
| the teachers of the state, and especial
ly the county superintendent, lean to
| the side of conservatism, rather than
radicalism and experimentation We
had supposed differently. A hundred
teachers in Pierce county hold adj
vanced views of educational theory
and practice, that would be frowned
upon by the messy element, not a
small one, and probably a majority, of
a State Teachers Association.
For the first time in $50 issues we
take line to allude to charge against

we believe, than serious affair.
Some one reported that we offered a
certain teacher the best school in
Pierce county if said teacher would
change his religious views and rail at
the belief OF his fathers. The joke
comes to us very forcibly in view of
the facts that we do not remember to
have ever changed word with the in
dividual regarding religious views. and
to this day do not know what one of
the thousand sects has had said teach
er's help. We care less, provided no
creed prevents energetic school room
work, and good example is set be-
fore the pupils. It's none of our of
fetal business. Good morals are urged
by all. This closes our defense
against this and all other fabulous
breathings for twelve-month. We
have other business. But a joke is
useful. Hence this.

THE STATE LEGISLATURES.

WiscOnsin's lawmakers met in an
nual session at Madison on the 9Th
inst, pursuant to law. The Senate
was called to order by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Bingham and was organized by
the election of Hon. VIM. L. Price, of
Black River Falls, as President pro
tenn; Chas L. Bross, of Madison, as
Chief Clerk, and G. Ingersoll, of Be-
lott, as Sergent-at, Arms. Hon. d. R..
Bailey. of Baldwin, is chairman of the
Senate Committee on Judiciary, and
Senator Scott, of Grand Rapids, is
Chairman of the Railroad Committee,
the two committees named being gen.
orally considered the most important.
Senator Andrews is chairman of the
Committee on Printing and is also a
member of the Committee on Educa-
ton.
j. r. Hunter, Chief Clerk of the last
Assembly, called the Assembly to or
der and that body was organized by
the election of Hon. ID. NJ. Kelly, of
Green Bay, as Speaker; j. E. Eldred of
Milwaukee, as Chief Clerk, and Mile
tus Knight, of Pepin county, as Ser
geant-at-Arms. Hon. VIM. Z. Carter,
of Platteville, is chairman of the AS
sembly Committee ON Judiciary, and
Hon. D. II. Pulcifer, of Shawano, is
chairman of tie Railroad Committee.
Hon. N. p. Haugen is member of the
Committee on Education.
1t appears to De the settled opinion
of those who have looked in upon the
legislators now assembled at Madison
that finer or more intellectual look

THE rush for positions as officers and
employees of the Legislature last week
was full as great if not greater than
at preceding sessions. Of course
more than nine-tenths of the appli-
cants returned home disguised with
politics and imbued with the senti-
ment that in many instances ''Repub-
lies are ungrateful. No one should
waste his spare cash in taking a trip
to Madison solely for the purpose of
securing a position in the Legisla-
ture unless they are backed in the I'M
dertaking by direct and unequlvocal
pledge from their Senator or Assembly
man, and even then they haven't a
dead SET on a place, because there
are not as many officers and employees
as there are members of the Legisla-
ture, and some of the older and
shrewder members who have been
there so long that they have got the
ropes" learned, manage to secure APP
pointments to more places than the
quota in strict justice assigns them.

The Senatorial contest has conferred
at Madison and during the week it has
been red hot. Four candidates for
Senatorial honors--Keyes, Carpenter,
Howe and Sawyer-have rooms at the
Park Hotel where their headquarters
pending the fray have been establish
ed. and all the ''arts and sciences of
political strategy known to the skilled
manipulators of the political wires
have been employed by the hackers of
each in the interests of their respec-
tive chiefs. There seems TO be great
diversity of opinions as to the final
result on the part of those who do not
manifest an active interest in the mat
ter, but the most active lobbyists for
each of the three first named, feel
confident of the election of the one
for whom they are at work. 1t Is gen.
orally understood that Sawyer's candi-
dacy is In reality contingent upon the
disposition made of Senator Howe; If
Howe can carry off the prize Sawyer 5
friends are willing that he should do
so, but in case of Howe's failure to de-
velop sufficient strength to secure the
caucus nomination then Sawyer will
go into the caucus with a war-whoop
that will startle the Keyes and Car
penter people. Though Rublee has
been much talked of as the probable
ozark horse, in case one was to be
chosen, later developments seem to
have ruled him off the course. Our
latest advices are to the effect that ne
'sbad blood has yet been aroused
among the supporters of the different
aspirants now congregated at Madison,
and it is to be hoped that no boiling
will be INDUCED in.

Two interesting incidents worthy Of
special note, occurred during the ceremo-
nies. One was the presence of three Nir-
gnia md two Maryland volunteer compa-
nies who, ignoring past differences, came to
tender their tribute to the deceased soldier
These veterans of many hard fought
battle, showed by their admirable drill
and precision that they had not forgotten
the discipline of war, and by their presence
that brave soldiers can do honor 70 a gal
liant opponent. Another was the remarks
of Mr.. Watkins, on the boat which ear
ricd the Society 10 Mount Vernon, that,
though he had fought against General

bullet, yet he wished to raise his voice in
