BIENNIALiSM.


Though the proposed amendment to
to the State constitution providing for
biennial sessions of the legislature
was ratified by large majority of the
votes cast upon the proposition, it is
rumored that steps are to be taken to
render nugatory the decision of the
people and continue the annual SEES
sions. This will be done, if at all, by
those who were and are opposed to
the biennial system, upon the preteXt
that the amendment was not submit
ted in a constitutional manner. Some
who oppose the biennial system are
endeavoring to let down easy those
who favor it, by intimating that the
ratification of proposed amendment
providing for biennial elections which
will probably be submitted to vote
of the people in 1882 Will give them
biennial sessions of the legislature,
hut this pretense is a delusion and a
snare, as the joint resolution in ques-
ton bears no more relation to biennial
sessions of the legislature than it does
TO the New Testament revision.
Should the Supreme Conrt in its SUI
preme wisdom pronounce against the
people upon the question of a consti-
tntional ratification of the proposed
amendment for biennial sessions, a
new commencement will have to be
made, and we hope that the combin-
ed wisdom of the legislature of Wis
consin will be equal to the task of pro-
ducing a joint resolution that will
properly set forth what its object as
sumes to be and that an effective
amendment providing for biennial
sessions may be secured.
A joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for biennial elections was pass
ed by the legislature of 1881 and will
come up for concurrent action by the
legislature of 1882, and if concmred
in by that body the question will then
go to the people. Should this propo-
sitlon be submitted to the people and
duly ratified, general elections will be
held only in even numbered years aud
State, legislative and county officers
viii be chosen at the same time Con
gressmen are elected.

Two joint resolutions proposing
amendments to the constitution pass
ed the last legislature which will come
before the next session for concurrent
action-one providing for biennial
elections aud the other authorizing
the legislature to provide for the reg
istration of electors in incorporated
cities and villages. While the adop-
ton of these proposed amendments
will doubtless be productive Of good
results we venture that the legislature
has not been petioned by five hundred
voters to submit either of them to a
vote of the people, but the submission
of other amendments has been petit
toned for by thousands of voters
and the legislature refuses to grant
their petition.

Attention is called to the card of Law
renee & Edwards, one of the most relia-
BILE land firms in the ate. They are
doing large business in land sales, and
have facilities for reporting more
definitely upon lands throughout the
state than probably any other land firm
in its limits. Mr.. Lawrence has handled
vast deal of land in all portions of
Texas, and Mr.. Edwards has been
one of the large lOcators for railway COM
panies and other corporations and fndi-
vidual. The two combine perfect
knowledge of Texas lands and our land
system, and they have personal knowl-
edge of lands from the Sabine river to
the Rio Grande and from the Gulf of
Mexico to the furtherest limits of the
Panhandle region. They can suit any
purchaser in quality of lands and in pri-
ces, and those who desire to invest in the
great future of Texas dirt would do well
to put in their applications without de-
lay. Read the card. HS

though reluctant to curtailing con-
stitutional liberties, were convinced
of the necessity of supporting the
