when there is 4 session Of the legia
lature the circulation of the Madi-
son Democrat is increased some
hundreds and Of course ii cannot
very we'll afford to 60 without the
aid which that increased circulation
would furnish, therefore the unbi-
assed and unbought manner in
which it attacked the biennial ses-
sion bill.
Last night the salary bill came
up in the house. This bill has
been making 4 great deal of excite
ment of late III various camps. 1t
was argued last night al great length
by Mills, Carter, Quarles and others.
Il had been passed in the Senate
with u provision making $4,000 the
salary for the Supreme Judges and
when this came up IN the house it
was amended So as to make it $1,000.
This morning when the amend
ment came up for concurrence III
the Senate, the Senate refused to
concur. Immediately aftcrward it
was announced that the resolution
making / / o'clock the time for cut
ting Off all business had gone into
effect and therefore the salary bin
died an easy death,
The bill to repeal the wolf bounty
law has passed This will save the
State some ten or swelve thousand
dollars annually. The people of
the State have received no pcrcepti-
bic benefit from this law, and of
course the repeal will be a clear gain
to the State In some parts of the
State it is said that there are men
who make it a regular business to
raise wolves. II is Il great wonder
that these men did not send in q
lobby to kill the bill.

Justice Of the So. .promo Court was
in the city Mo.oday, and called at

au'hor1 ed us TO say that he ac-
cepts ehc nomination rendered him
ny tho legislative caucus, and that he
~ in the field as d candidate for the
supreme bench. II IL with pleasure
we arc able 10 make this announce
mcnt by authority. The probable
ity is that Judge will be elected,
and if he is, Wisconsin will cover
herself all over with honor, for
placing upon the supreme bench
another legal mind that will shed
additional lustrc on the pages of
the conrt's decisions. A Ryan and
a Cothrcn upon the Supreme bench,
and the courts decisions, and tho
Wisconsin Reports would be quoted
all over this country. OF all tho
men in this State there are none
who arc by training, education, cx-
Dpripncp and natiyp falpnt more
peculiarly fitted for the position
than Judge Cothren. II Judge
Cothrcn was as well known per-

Some Politics.
Psck's Sun.

Before another issue Of the
Sun, the United States govern
ment, which has for twenty
years been republican, will be
captured by the confederate
brigadiers. and both branches
OF congress will pass into the
hands of the Democrats. The
Offices, no oweyer, which are the
main thing, will remain in
charge Of the republicans, and
it is thought that no effort will
be made by the red handed reb
el congress to bounce Gen.
Longstreet from his revenue
Office. Key from the cabinet or
Moseby from his consulate,
though it is feared Gen. Shields
will be pensioned. The repub
licans have worked diligently
to bring about this change, but
it seems they did not wave the
bloody shirt quite enough, and
it can't be helped. Under
Grant the bloody shirt floated
from every flag and was
shook fiercely at all times and
under all circumstances, and
yet the party only lost the
southern states. II he is nomi
mated next year, and the same
policy pursued, it is believed
that though all the northern
states might 20 democratic,
Kansas and Nevada would he
saved, and possibly Iowa. One
thing that has hurt the repub-
licans is civil service reform.
If Hayes had let on that he
was determined to carry out
civil service reform simply foI
effect, instead of actually doing
it. everything would have been
lovely. But his removal OF
Wisconsin postmasters from
Office for participating in pol
itics was shameful, and the
people saw right away what
kind Of a man he was. His ac.
tion in turning John Sherman
ont OF the cabinet for stuMpinp
Ohio, in violation OF order No
|, and his refusing to appoint
any Ohio people to office except
for merit, was regarded as quite
base. The democrats couldn't

Reflections on the Crisis of 1897

Prof. w. G. Sumner, of Yale Col
lege, comes to the following conclu-
sions in regard to the commercial
crisis of 1887 and following years,
the causes and progress of which
are instructively described by him
in the March number of Scribner's
Monthly, He says
The reader can, no doubt, make
his own reflections on this story,
but the following points are espe-
cially worth attention:
/. The influence Of politics on
currency, and of currency ON poll
tics, was exceedingly mischievous
to both.
2. While credit adds greatly to
the efficiency of capital it does not
increase it, or supply the place oft.
Abuses of credit were the real un-
derlying cause of all this misery
where the natural circumstances
were not such as TO produce pros
perity beyond the experience OF
men.
8. When the error had been com.
mitted the consequences could not
be avoided. The only question
was: How to make them az
small as possible, and to be done
with them - quickly as possible,
in order to begin again. The New
York policy of sharp and relentless
contraction was bitter while il
lasted. 1t however reduced the
total losses to be borne to a mini.
mum, abbreviated as much as pos.
sible the period of distress, and
gave New York three or four year.
the start of suspending States, on
the course of recovery.
4. The losses during this period
were estimated at sS47,0O0,000
This estimate is as good as any
but no such estimates have much
value. The real question is; How
much richer would the people o
the United States have been in l84f
than they were, if they had gone
forward steadily and surely from
1880, with sober industry, sound
currency. and a normal deyelope-

To Pastors.

Make up your minds you must work,
but if you consider yourself fellow MEM
Der, don't work alone. Help your church,
but don't carry it! If you find meddle-
some busybodies, give them plenty TO do;
they hate real work as a mosquito does
smoke. Your main business is to preach;
but to do this you must know your people
and ascertain their wants. Don't visit
just to please, but to help on your work.
Some families will need six visits to ano-
theirs one. Go where you can hurt the
devil most. Be governed by mems wants
not their complaints. Preach not as 9TH
ers do, but as you and God can best ar
range it. Fill your hearers with sound rea-
son, then cork them tightly with sound
application, bind them tightly with a
''Thus saith the Lord.'' Be sparing, if
not a little stingy, in using old sermons.
Remember when the stream of study
stops flowing, pulpit ponds lowers. Give
no censures, unless there is love enough
to prevent their drowning in hatred. 1t
requires much love to praise, more to re-
prove.
You must begin in time, and not be
too long in uttering what you have to say
if you would have this busy age stop and
listen. Ifyou would preach the best SER
mons, practice them faithfully beforehand.
Work when you can, retire when you
must, and you will have favor with God
when you do.
