of the sad accident are short but

The Madison Democrat.


Being about to enter upon another
year of its successful career, the atten-
ton of the reading public is directed
to the Madison Daily Democrat.
1t is independent and progressive
1t is Democratic, but leader of the
new and rapidly growing element of
the party. 1t is a spicy newspaper; it
is clean and elevated in tone and char
acter.
During the legislature it will contain
the earliest and most accurate informa-
ton concerning legislation and correla-
tive subjects. The management will
make this journal more acceptable
than ever during the coming winter,
and have decided to place the subscrip-
ton rate at the low price of so cents
per month, postage perpaid. This is
certainly cheap newspaper.
The Weekly Democrat, the largest
newspaper in the state, is $500 per
annum.
The Democrat Printing Company
neither offers cheap chrome "premi-
ums," nor employs other fraudulent
catch-penny means for securing sub
scribers. 1t gives value received in
the newspaper. The rapidly growing
circulation attests the wisdom of a
strict adherence to this policy.
The patronage Of the reading public
of Wisconsin is respectfully solicited.

agThe biennial session amend
ment is finally adopted, and the way
for biennialism is regularly laid out as
follows; The state officers and sena-
tors just elected will hold over until
lst Monday of January 1885; a gen
eral election will be held in 1882, for
county officers and members of con-
gross; the county officers and assem-
blymen chosen then will hold until
the first Monday in January 1885; the
fall of 1883 will be without any cleo
ton; and in the fall Of 1884. senators,
assemblymen, state officers, congress
men and presidential electors will be
voted tor altogether, the state officers
and senators to hold for the regular
term of four years. and the assembly
men and county officers for two years.
The only point not attempted to be
settled in proposed amendment, is the
time for the first legislative session
under the biennial system, and common
sense and political expediency would
dictate that time as 1878. After that
biennialism can have full and regular
swing, until the people get tired of it.

The trouble with the entertainment
was its great length, it not conclud-
ing until after u o'clock. "Wander-
ing Steenie" is a beautiful standard
drama, and while there were a num-
Der of things which transpired that
injured the effect of the piece, It's
principal characters were we'll sus-
tanned. The difficulties were the
bitches in some of the scenes and
he frequent failure of some to re-
member their lines, thus causing
dlSagreeable delays. but very few OF
which are sufficient to spoil the gen
eral effect. Mr.. Mckenzie PLAYED
admirably, and Messrs. Lindsay,
Wilton, LeClair. Margetts, Taylor
and Hudson did very well. Miss
Edith ClawsOn played the leading
lady character with ability and
force. "Sweethearts and Wives"
which finished the entertainment, is
one of the finest of comedies, and
was played much better than the
first piece. In this all did excep-
tiOnally well, Mr.. Graham carrying
off the hOnors; Messrs. Mckenzie
and Lindsay showing their Protean
ability in marked manner, and Mr..
LeClair again appearing to especial
advantage. His line is COM
