would it not be q graceful and APP

CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, February 7th, 1881


lature of 1881 will adjourn earlier
than usual. But those familiar with
the manner OF rushing in bills etc,
on the last days permitted, and who
remember the uncommon number
OF important measures to be acted
upon,a Of opinion that the session
will be one of the Lost protracted
in the history of the State. AS yet
none of the several momentus du-
ties to be performed have been more
than outlined.
Nothing but vague speculation
has yet been done on the work Of
redistricting the State, which alone
will absorb perhaps weeks OF the
session. Should Congress make its
apportionmelt, which some think
likely, the redistricting job of the
legislature will be especially en-
crossing and tedious. The multi
tude Of great men whose personal
interests will be affected by recon
structing Congressional districts, is
q serious obstacle to o prompt and
satisfactory discharge of the duty.
No plan is suggested or likely to be,
but obstructs the pathway OF some
statesman en- route for Washington
1t is said our State Senate is COM
posed largely of such patriots in
fact, one paper asserts they are so
thick here that you couldn't swing
a cat without hitting some Of them.
Postmaster Payne of Milwaukee
very kindly volunteered to relieve
the Legislature of all preliminary
labor in parceling the State into
Congressional districts, by doing the
job himself. However his services
may be appreciated throughout the
State generally, it is not likely to
bring him much honor in the third
district. His apportionmsnt sub
stitutes Dane for Green county in
the third, leaving it otherwise uu-
changed. Undoubtedly the other
counties of the Southwest will kick
against the plan. 1t is general re-
garded as an unnatural and unde-
sirable association. There is no
community Of interest, political,
commercial or social upon which it
can be justified.
There is evident strong element
In the legislature disposed to cater
to political Influences being brought
to bear to override or neutralize the
work Of the committee which inyes-
tigated the insane hospital. I'm
questionably that committee per-
formed is duties faithfully and etIic-
iently-much more so than is usual
in such matters. They discovered

on the same subject last year was a
grand production, and that it had
large influence in securing the pas
sage OF the female suffrage resolu
ton by that body is undisputed. 1t
remains to be seen if she can i'm
press this legislature as strongly.
Petitions bearing hundreds Of
names asking for the passage Of the
prohibition resolution are pouring
in daily. Probability that they will
be complied with is now greater
than week ago, although most OF
the republican press is pronounced
in opposition. Singriarly, all argu-
ments that have yet come under our
notice against the measure treat it
as if it were proposition to pass a
prohibitory law direct. No where
have we seen q statement of reasons
why the people should not have an
opportunity to vote for or against a
proposition to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of liquors..in the state,
which is the extent of the action
asked Of the legislature. Ii 1.-THE

mem bers of the legislature would re.
fuse 20 accede to their prayer. A
cowardly fear that the passage Of
the resolution will initiate against
the republican party, and possibly
interfere with somebody's chances
to get office, is the greatest obstacle
the friends of the measure have to
contend with. Whisperings that it
will lose us the German vote,
or the scandinavian vote, etc,
are not infrequently heard. 1t
seems never to have occurred to
these statesmen that those who now
ask and have her-+-fore asked the
passage Of this resolution are almost
to a man republicans, and out num-
Der the German or Scandinavian
republican voters Of the State, if not
both. Suppose these temperance
men, in the same spirit attributed
to German and Scandinavian voters,
fail to longer vote with a party that
refuses what they deem just and
proper demand, what would DO re-
publicans chance to get office then
The intimation that any class of re-
publicans will desert their party be-
cause of the submission or Hon-sub-
mission of the question Of prohibit
ton or any othes question, is re-
Election upon their integrity of prin-
ciple which they ought to seek on
opportunity for removing.
There now seems strong probable
ity that some action will be taken
affecting telegraph companies. The
latest and most direct blow aimed
at them is bill fixing maximum
rate Of 20 cents for ten-word dis
patch and one cent for each addi-
tional word, within the State. SEN
ator Richardson, its mover, is quite
hopeful of its passage.
An unsophisticated Asssmblyman
has introduced bill prohibiting
members from receiving railroad

Fifteen Months IN a Trance.

When the asylum was opened at Milton
one of the first patients to be removed from
Fisherton was pauper lunatic, who now
gives the name of Landons, although this is
not the name he bears on the books Of the
institution. He was then suffering from cat
alepsy, from which no agency, not even the
most stringest forms of galvanism, could
awaken him; and, in the words of DR.. Bland,
he was an inanimate mechanism, whose Or
gans performed their natural duties, but
who, to all outside appearances, was in a
trance. He has been In the institution fif-
teen months, and has during the whole of
this time been in a state of coma, spending
most of his time standing against wall
with his hands hanging fixedly at his side,
infexibly stiff. He has been unable to open
mouth or eyes, and to feed him it has
been found necessary to lay him on his back,
when sustenance has been afforded by means
of quill. Hearing of the extraordinary
case, a London medical association sent Is
to DIR. Bland, the medical superintendent,
with request that the patient should be
photographed. This was done, and soon af-
ter he recovered the use of his limbs,
and as he moved his muscles one by one his
bones seemed to crack within him. As soon
as he recovered speech he made incoherent
observations respecting shipwreck, COLI
stantly referring to the Pearl, Portsea.-
Manchester Courier.
