idea, that in February 1888, the
charters of all our national banks ex.

national banks were organized under
the act OF 1884, and expire in twenty
wears from the date Of Cling their

Congress commenced its session again
on Monday with a large attendance
both of members, lobbyists and visit
ors. After the appointment Of the
usual committees to notify the Presi-
dent of their readiness for business,
the Presidents annual message was
received by both h0nses and was read
before them. The senate by vote
ordered The message printed, and the
house referred it to the committee Of
the whole. The message Is the longest
ever presented to congress by President
Hayes. The reason of it's length is
the large number Of important matters
it brings to the attention Of our legis-
lators. The subjects are thoroughly
treated, but there is no waste Of words.
One Of the first things the President
treats of is the continued opposition
Of the South to the enjoyment of the
rights Of citizenship by the colored
men. He says: "The disposition to
refuse a prompt and hearty obedience
to the eQual-rlghts amendments to the
constitution is all that now stands in
the way Of q complete obliteration Of
sectional lines in our political con-
tests The message commends itself
by its wise and thorough treatment of
the great questions before the country.

ments.

lislied that unoffending children shall
not be raised for unquestionably vici-
GUS ends: if young and innocent girls
in the very spring-time Of their teens
have been protected from the evil dis
positions of those who should be their
protectors: If girls of tender years
whose feet have just touched the TIRES
hold of shame hare been rescued, then
the work you have done has been well
done and gives clear and updeniabls
reason for your existence.
From the report Of Mrs. Brown,
chairman Of the executive committee,
re quote as follows:
The history Of several children en-
gagged IN begging. picking and other
street occupations was hunted up, and
1t was found that the parents were in
comfortable circumstances. Promises
were obtained that the children should
be sent to school in future. A number
OF families made miserable by drink
were induced to reform, their conditions
improved and the children were placed
In school. Several cases Of Insane
people who abused their children were
discovered, and the parents committed
to asylums and the children to indus
trial schools. Imposters asking charity
were exposed and forced to seek pas
lures new. Three families, where dirt
and whisky struggled for mastery, were
induced to clean up and care for their
children. A man named LasSa who
had his son arrested to get rid of him
was exposed and the boy sent to the
Reform School. An italian padrons
was notified to shut up his place of
business, but he escaped with three
children. Young girls with a taste for
street-Talking were brought to the
notice Of their parents, or sent to the
Industrial School. Two girls whom
sailors were trying to lead astray were
rescued. Cases like that of Maud
Closter, or Mary Thompson, the child
singing In low-down concert-saloon,
were acted upon With success. Facto-
ries employing large number Of men
and boys were investigated as to sani-
tary regulations, and the proprietors
induced to make necessary changes.
The report was very interesting and
showed that the year had been a busy
one with the committee.
Winfield Smith, Of the Committee on
Laws and Legislation, said the SO cases
prosecuted before the Municipal Court
had given many not heretofore reached
"a knowledge Of the existence Of an
association of the kind and taught them
that its members were in earnest. Mr..
Smith was Of the opinion that existing
laws would suffice for the work Of tho
Society and that special legislation
would he unnecessary at present.

women of Wisconsin desire TO have
the right of suffrage there is no good
reason why they SHOULD not. Their
voice aud Influence in reform lesisia-
tion can be made more potent by the
exercise Of this right. Nothing stands
in the way of its adoption but the
prejudices Of past age and the en-
trenched privileges Of the male citizen.
The objections raised against the meas-
ure long ego we're shown to be ground
less, and the arguments offered have
been scattered to the winds. Hoary
prejudice and ancient privilege cannot
long delay this reform.

A very interesting event occurred in
Milwaukee on Tuesday evening, Nov.
S0th. It was tho arst annual meeting
OF the Wisconsin Humane Society.
This organization commands the sup
port of many Of Iilwaukee's pablle-
spirited and influential citizens. The
address Of the Viee-P President and re-
port OF the Secretary and various COM
mittecs show the success of the sosiety
In its efforts. The Milwaukes Sentinel
OF Wednesday morning, Dee. /, gives
q full and interesting report Of the
proceedings, occupying three columns,
from which We make brief extracts.
In regard to The objects of the society
We quote from the address:
"Yeu hays established the society
among the amendatory functions of
the state; you have created sense of
Justice and mercy, towards the dspsn.
dents OF man, in many minds to which
these generous traits have hitherto
heeR strangers; you hare brought
children little nearer to the shelter
Of the common arm, and a little closer
to the beating of the common heart,
II 2 The fact that the society ex-
lists, backed by the legislature and sup.
ported by the judicial powers OF the
STRONG and orderly state of Wisconsin
the fact that the names upon its rolls
includes most influential persons in all
departments, and in al parties, and in
all SectS; the fact that the society can
keep q Salaried superintendent, who Is
clothed with q police power. unusual
as it Is effectual, all tend to impress on
the thoughtlessly cruel Is we'll as upon
the wanton and the spiteful a novel
but strenuous power. : Prac.
teal operations during the year have
had two principal channels. While the
main intent is the fostering Of gen
sral humane sentiment by the correc-
ton and abolition of cruelty as such
the work has been divided into that
referring to the abuse of animals and
that referring to the abuse Of children.
In both sections real good has been
done. Some at least Of the shocking
and injurious evils practiced upon
animals during transportation have
been abolished. = Abuses Ia
children have been rarer and more
difficult to deal with, but somcthIns
kFs been done II It hss heen easak.
