BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

The report of the majority of the SEN
ate committee on State Affairs to whom
was referred the joint resolution amend
ing the constitution and providing for
biennial sessions, is as complete a dis
cussion of that side of the question as
could be made. A comparison is made
between the legislative expenses of Wis
consin under the annual system with
| other states in which the biennial system
prevails, much to the advantage of Wis
| consln, and hence, it is argued, favor
able to the annual system.
The other point, that annual sessions
| are fruitful of amendments to or repeals
| of laws passed at the session Immediately
preceding, is met with a tabulated state
ment of the number, of acts repealed or
amended in the session Immediately fol
lowing that of their enactment, showing
that in twenty years 14S acts were amend.
ed and 40 repealed after having been
laws but one year. The assertion is
made that the great mass of laws which
are repealed or amended are laws which
have been in force two years or more,
but no particulars are given, either from
the difficulty of tabulating these facts or
the consciousness that the table of laws
repealed or amended after being in force
one year, leaves it apparent that the
great mass of repealed or amended laws
must have been in force more than one
year.
The following additional reasons are
given why biennial sessions are not de-
sirable:
l. All states in process of develop
ment need flexible codes and frequent
changes.
:. The institutions of the state need
Watching.
8. Estimates of the expenses cannot
well be made two years in advance.
t. i lesser number of citizens will be |
informed as to the condition of state at
fairs.
.. The sessions VII be greatly pro-
longed, and farmers will be unable to
serve.
6. A state administration will not be .
subject to Legislative Investigation.
I. The election of United States
senator will be further removed from the
people.
5. The amendments are but half vay
measures. Annual elections cost more
than annual sessions.
Argument seldom convinces any one
and it is doubtful whether the report
will make single convert. Although
the committee has managed to show that
the average annual expenses of sessions
IN Wisconsin are less than those of
Michigan, Ohio or Illinois, still it does
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1880-02-26

not follow that biennial sessions in Wis
consin would not bring less annual
average that annual sessions would.
While the average length per year OF the
session of the Illinois legislature is SO
days and that of Wisconsin Ga, it must
not be forgotten that Legislators receive
per diem in the former state and that
this has tendency to prolong the
sessions. Though legislators would
secure a larger salary for term
under the biennial system than at
present still in this there would be an
annual saving of $4,000. But it is not
the salaries that swell Legislative expen-
ses. In 1879 the Legislative expenses
amounted to Ss4, 301.61. Of this amount
but SAG, $50 were paid for salaries. The
Senate employees number 60 persons,
about two servants TO each man, costing
IS, $50. IS, thus costing the state almost
as much for attendance on the senators
as the salaries of those waited upon
amounts to. The assembly having 100
members have only the same number of
employees as the senate. 1t is well known
that there are persons employed whose
services are not at all needed, the posi-
ton being a mere sinecure, a reward for
service performed or prospective. These
items of expense would occur but once
in two years instead of once year, I'M
der the biennial system. The Legitimate
expenses of a session would make no one
long for biennial sessions. 1t is the ex-
travagance which people condemn and
which they are trying to avoid. Postage
alone cost 81, $40, but almost every cent
of this is spent in sending papers to
Constituents" who have craving for a
taste of legislative stealing.
There is not SO much fault found with
the Legislature for repeating laws as there
is for enacting them. But for revisions
and repeats the laws of state would be
as cumbersome as the Roman laws before
being codifed by Justinian.
But for the many evils such as unnec-
essary expense, and plethora of laws, an
nual sessions for the reasons given in the
report, would be very desirable. There
can be no doubt that other departments
of the government are much better ad-
ministered because of the watchfulness
of the Legislature. The people act more
directly through the Legislative than
through any other branch Of the govern
ment, and the closer the government is
brought to them, the better. But the
follies and expense of legislation more
than counter-balance these points and a
reformation or diminution of evils by
means of biennial sessions is demanded.

CIRCUIT JUDGE.

The prospects are that there will be no
new circuit created by the Legislature at
this session. There is not entire unan-
unity in the counties affected by the
change and economy also plays part.
There are number of persons mentioned
as candidates for the judgeship which so
complicates the matter that it is difficult
to predict who the successful one will
be. Judge Mclean who has held the
position for twelve years is a candidate
for reelection. Judging from the opin-
ion unanimously antartninnd here ny the
bar and by what rumor reports to be the
opinion in other counties of the circuit,
the present judge has but meager
chances Of re election. Still convention
will be the only absolute test of his
strength,
Other candidates who are mentioned
are ". J. Turner of this city, Judge
Williams of Sheboygan and Col. ellison
of Fond du Lac.
Mr.. Turner has quite a following in
the circuit. He is a young man, a sue
cessful lawyer and has already developed
considerable strength. He will be sup
ported in the convention by quite a
number of delegates.
Judge Williams of Sheboygan is the
present county judge of that county. He
is a man Of known integrity and ability.
WHAT his strength is as candidate we
are unable to say.
Col. Gibson of Fond du Lac, is we IN
derstand the choice of majority of the
people of that county. He is also a young
man and said to be good lawyer.
From present appearances some one of
the three last named will be the next
circuit judge. In the event OF the
erection of new circuit there will prob
ably be other candidates.

ROYALTY must be heavy burden to
the car of Russia. Never before was a
man logged with more pertinacity by
those determined on his destruction.
The miscarriage of any plan only sharp
ems ingenuity i'll devising others. Nor
do the parties rely on any one plan.
Several are in progress at one time at
varying stages of maturity. When one
fails another has so far progressed as to
be readily put into execution.
Death is always in the mind of the IN
fortunate emperor. Poisoned letters,
poisoned food, bombs, mines, and dag
gers beset him, and every precaution is
taken to prevent treachery in any form.
His food is not eaten by him until tasted
by other parties; he does not open letters
addressed to him; and guard is always
around his person to ward off assassina-
ton.
The police system of Russia is the
most far reaching and searching in the
world. Russia is country of spies, and
still the nihilists are comparatively safe.
Such bold attempts on the life of a King
never before were attempted and never
before has discovery been so baffied.
Threatening letters find their way regul-
arly to the ear but the writer and mes
senger defy detection. How it is possible
for the plotters to carry on plots which
require work that can not easily be con-
cealed it is extremely difficult to under
stand. But the very palace surrounded
by guards, every avenue beset by spies
is undermined. and portion of it
blown up and those engaged IL the work
remain unknown,
How the ears mind endures such a I
strain as must be imposed upon If by the /
that Death is lurking I
around watchful to seize his prey, al /
most passes wonder. No precaution can
guard him against the Vaccinations of |
us enemies. Safety can be found no.
where. at any moment he may be con-
ironted with death. He can trust no one.
md must suspect every one, even the
members of his own family, 1t is a
earful price to pay for royal power. t

IT seems that some OF the laws enacted
during Johnsons administration for the
purpose Of embarrassing the then presi-
dent have not yet been repealed. The
tenure of Office law was readily repealed
at Grants request, but the law declaring
that person appointed to Office by the
president unless to fill vacancy, receives
no salary for the time he serves unless
confirmed by tho senate Thia law will
prevent Mr.. Kutchin receiving his salary

The democrats in congress have begun
to disregard party entirely and to work
with the single purpose to benefit the
country. In adopting rules they
decided that no riders should be placed
upon appropriation bills unless to reduce
expenses already authorized. The re
publicans seeing the disposition of the
democrats to break away from party lines
sought to score victory for their party
Mt the the expense of their opponents.
A rule almost like the old one was adopt-
ed solely on account of the craftsmanship

THERE is as much absurdity in the be-
lief that Tilden will receive the dem
ocratic domination as that the safety of
the government demands the election of
General Grant. The government of the
United States is not of so slight texture
that its integrity is dependent on any
one man, nor is the democratic party
subject to the dictation of any man or set
of men. Other things being equal, Til
den would be entitled to the nomination
if he had taken steps to secure what was
legally his. The merit claimed by tbe
democratic party for submitting to be
cheated out of the presidency is nothiuc
more than Qualification of want of spir.
1t. 1t is always safer to resent wrong
than to submit to it. The republicans of
Maine refused to drink of the cup which
was brewed by themselves in 1876. Til
den, if he had the courage necessary in a
great leader, might have saved the dem
oeratic party the disgrace of surrender
ing their rights.

THE people of the United States are
the most generous in the world. In
1S47-S when famine was moving down
thousands in Ireland, the charity of
America was like halo of glory. In
1872 when fire made so many people
homeless, the people OF the United States
who did not suffer, shared their wealth
with the unfortunate, and the loss of
few was made the loss of the whole. In
1889 the ravages of the yellow fever
again furnished an opportunity for the
display of charity divine in its grandeur.

lieying suffering in another continent.
