BIENNIAL BUSINESS.

A metropolitan member of the jour-
nalistic profession who resides in Mil
waukee, and doubtless possessing the
most fertile imagination of any man
in Wisconsin, affects to have discov-
cred fatal defects in the proposed
amendments to the constitution pre-.
viding for biennial sessions of the leg
islature, seeking to convey the idea
that if they are ratified by vote of
the people at the November election
the legislature will thereby be abol-
ished. 1t is scarcely necessary to add
that the gentleman in question is red
hot advocate of annual sessions and
that he hopes to brighten the voters
from their purpose of adopting the
amendments proposed. He thinks that
the only safe way is to vote the whole
thing down and begin anew. We are
free to confess that as advocates of
the biennial system, we do not share
in the apprehensions expressed by
him, and consider his effusion but a
trick to aid in defeating the scheme.
We believe that the prevailing sentl-
ment in this portion of the State to be
in favor of biennial sessions, and hope
the electors of the st. Croix Valley
will manifest their interest in this
measure by polling full vote thereon.
We have no fears that proposed
amendments to the constitution which
have run the gauntlet of two legisla-
tive sessions, where bitter opposition
to their passage has been persistent,
will annihilate the State government
if adopted, and advise those who be-
lieve that annual sessions of the legis-
lature are an expensive and worse
than useless luxury to deposit their
ballots in favor of the biennial amend
mentS.

LEGISLATION.

In recent article upon the subject
of careless and incongruous legislation
the State Journal makes the following
observations:
This growing tendency to care
lesSneSS i'll the preparation of bills is
the result of q bad system of selecting
members of the Legislature. The
most of them are elected because it is
regarded as holiday business. Little
is done the first month of the session;
the work, especially that part of it
which needs the most thought and
care, is disposed of in the hurry burly
of the last three or four days. The
bills are carelessly framed. Some
members, having an idea of some
change in the law which he thinks de-
sirable, draws a bill TO effect it. He
does not stop to see what the law is
now, does not carefully TT it i'll his bill
TO harmonic with the present system,
but in disregard of the existing code,
makes his bill separate, independent
botch. 1t is inconsideratelV passed.
The only attention given it is to see
if in the proposed measure, the prin-
ciple of the bill is satisfactory. When
the bill has become law it is found
to work mischiefs and to have effects
it's trainers never dreamed of. 1t works
repeal, by implication, of laws; it
overlaps in one place, falls short in
another, amends here, alters there,
and makes necessary another lawsuit
to find out what the law is. There is
too much of this careless, reckless
kind of tinkering with the laws and
the biennial system will not be likely
to prevent it.
The extract above quoted is very
clever illustration. The average men,
Der doesn't care enough about the
work before him to take the trouble
to ascertain the effect that measure
for which he votes may have upon an
existing law, or to find out that bill
under consideration proposes to amend
statute already repealed. The legis-
lative session is to him holiday to be
made the most of and an occasion for
parading himself as distinguished
parsonage, which he losses no oppor-
tunity to do, as he fayors adjourn
ments of the legislature from Friday
or Saturday morning until Mon
day evening and in the meantime
makes use of his railroad pass by
going home to consult his constitu-
ents," who, judging from his consul
tation, appear to be, besides his family,
three or four gentlemen of "infuence"
known as the local "bosses." While
no one claims that biennial sessions of
the legislature will prevent reckless
and perniclous legislation, we opine
that it will be diminished in quantity
by reason of decreased opportunities
for effecting il.

THE TICKET.

AS will be seen by the proceedings
of the Republican convention held at
Ellsworth on Friday last, published
elsewhere in this paper, Hon. f. L.
ellison was re-nominated for the AS
sembly, and Amos Rosenburger, of
Maiden Rock, was nominated for the
Office of County Superintendent of
Schools.
AT the senatorial convention held al
Menomonie on Monday, Hon. R. j.
Flint, of Menomonie, was nominated
for State Senator. j. M. Bartlett, of
Eau Claire, and +. L. ellison, of Pierce
county, were elected delegates to the
State convention, and w. w. Downs,
J. O. Gilbert and George Tonnar were
appointed a Republican Senatorial
Committee for the ensuing year.
AS the State convention for the
nomination of State officers was held
yesterday "a date too late to permit
us to review the State ticket to-day
we have deemed it best to defer spec.
ial personal mention of our local can.
didates until next week, when we can
write up the entire ticket. We under
stand that Mr.. Rosenburger has been
appointed to fill the vacancy made by
the resignation of Superintendent
McCleary.

Prof. Campbell, very successful
Missouri teacher, volunteers this adj.
vice to those who are about to take
upon themselves the responsibilities
of instructors: ''Do not be afraid to
work. Work in the morning, work
all day, work at night. Work to make
the best school ever taught i'll the
district; work to make yourself the
best teacher in the country; work to
make public schools popular because
of the good they accomplish.
The Prescott school opened ON the
5th inst. instead of ON the Goth ult., as
announced, with the following teach
ers: G.. L. Bowman, Principal of
High School,; w. II. Hickok, room No.
5; Matt l.. Tabor, room No. 4; Mary
j. West, room No. 3; Ada McGray,
room No. 2; Helen NJ. Ives, room No. l..
The corps of teachers is the same as
last year with the exception of Mr..
Hickok. The school year consists of
4 nine months term. Room No. 5 has
been reseated, and the building has
had a general oyerhauling.
We are pleased to learn that the
schools at Osce0la Mills have been so
fortunate as to secure the services of
Mr.. G. G. Williams as principal for
the next school year, but it is Pierce
county's loss.

spring, the necessary building put mp,
apparatus procured, and we under
stand that experiments are now being
made in the manufacture of syrup un-
der the direction of a practical chem
ist. The right and privilege is ex-
tended to all residents of the State to
witness such experiments during
working hours, free of charge, and the
officers making them are required to
give such visitors all the aid and in
formation within their knowledge re-
lating thereto. The Professor of Agri-
culture is directed to report the result
of these experiments by the first day
of January. A silo has also been
built, and was filled a few weeks ago
with fodder, which it is expected after
months have elapsed will be taken out
as green and sueculent as when cut
and put in. We have no doubt that
these experiments will be productive
of good results, and form an important
factor in making the supply of syrups
and sugar consumed in Wisconsin
principally domestic production in
stead of an article to be obtained only
by imports, while the ensilage of fod
ders may become quite general-to the
great satisfaction of stock. Appro-
priations made for aiding in the de-
velopment of these industries are
much more practicable as well as
profitable than those for steam wagons,
Yorktown centennials, the payment of
fraudulent printing claims, and the
like.

The attention of farmers is respect
| fully called to the Warren Sulky
Plow Attachment, manufactured by
Joseph Stephens, of River Falls. IhiS
Attachment is model of simplicity
strength and durability, will hold
right or left hand, steel, iron or wood
| beam, new or old plows of any size
| 1t does not increase the labor of the
team, and can be handled by twelve
| year-old boy. 1t is particularly eff
cient in covering stubble, corn stalks
| and tall weeds. Mr.. Stephens has one
| hundred of these attachments now in
process of construction which will be
! ready for the fall trade. A careful
| examination will convince any one of
the practical utility of the attachment.
No farmer can afford to be without
| one.
Mr.. Stephens also manufactures
| crossing plows, of various sizes, I'M
surpassed and rarely equaled by any
other make, which he sells at very
reasonable prices. His plows are
made of the best material throughout,
strongly put together, and will last.
In addition to his own manufac-
lures, Mr.. stephens also keeps on
hand the celebrated Fish Bros. & Co. s
wagons, of Racine, and the Kappel
wagons, of Red Wing, Mimi. These
wagons are regarded among the best,
aud are fast attaining reputation of
being "the most popular in use.
Any one who con5emplates purchasing
should be sure and call before buying
| elsewhere.
Mr.. Stephens is doing quite an
extensive business in the manufacture
ing line, and as all of his wares are
unsurpassed for durability and effec-
tiveness, our people should lend him
encouragement by liberal patronage,
and thus help an enterprise that will
materially benefit our village. AS a
straight forward business man he
stands among the foremost, and justly
merits what his interests demand.

PRESIDENT GARFIELD DEAD.

After nearly three months of pain
and suffering, President Garfield died
quietly at FRANKLIN cottage, Long
Branch, Monday night, at 1925. From
the ID day of July, when he was
stricken down by the bullet of the as
sassin, until the day of his death, the
country had watched with almost
bated breath for the daily news rela-
tive to his condition, and the hopes of
the people rose or fell according as
the news was more or less favorable.
For over ten long, weary weeks he
fought for life nobly-neyer complain
ing--only asking for one chance, but
with new complications arising in his
condition, which baffled the skill of
the most eminent physicians, and,
worn out with suffering, he died,
mourned by the nation, and respected
by the whole civilized world. The
people had become almost as we'll ac-
quainted with him as if they had daily
watched by the bedside of the sufferer,
and when the telegraph flashed the
news of his death across the land, the
loss came to every hearthstone with
the force and sympathy of individual
bereavement. Never was sorrow more
universal. lie was stricken down in
robust health by an assassin who held
no personal anlmosity against him,
but who foully murdered him because
he stood as the personal representative
of a great nation. The loss falls more
heavily upon the masses, because from
the humblest walks of life the Presi-
dent had attained the highest office
within their gift, and they loved him
for being typical representative of
the American people.
The courage to act upon convictions
of duty, in the face of much opposi-
ton to guage all of his public life by
principles that glistened with purity,
uprightneSs, and a noble manhood,
won for President Garfield place in
the hearts of all classes, such as man
never before won. Though but a
short time in the capacity of chief
executive, his work there will live on
in the history of the nation, while
his herculean blows against crime in
high places, such as Mormonism, ETC.,
ETC.. have erected for him monu-
ment more lasting than marble, and
more beautiful than art could accom-
plish. The draping in mourning Of
our public buildings, the floating of
flags at half mast, the tolling of bells
and the words of eulogy offered in
honor of him in the villages and cities
of our land, feebly express the great
grief that has settled upon us as ma
ton. Words of sympathy for the
family seem but hollow mockery at
this time, but the prayers of those
who pray go up to God that they may
now be sustained and comforted in
their gift to the American people.

Odd Moments,

1t is often the odd moments that are
the most valuable, and offer the best
privileges for acquiring knowledge.
1t was Schliemann, whose books on
Troy and Mycenar are much sought
by the learned, who said that he
never went on his errands, even in
the rain, without having his book in
his hand and learning something by
heart, and he never waited at the
postoffice without reading.
A missionary to Burmah has just
completed work, which he has writ
ten, as he says, Gin the corners of my
time that would otherwise have been
wasted.'
Some who read this may complain
of their odd moments being so few,
and feel that the half hour is a triling
time in which to gain any knowledge;
but it is these odd minutes and half
hours that are SO valuable, and give
such rare opportunities for improving
the mind and heart.

School Boards.

AS we gave some "hints" to the
teachers, we viii again copy from the
American Ed dcator:
l. Sustain your teachers as long as
you keep them.
2. Be as silent as oysters when
tempted to speak disparagingly of
your teachers.
3. Speak well of the school when
opportunity offers.
4. If you object to the ways of your
teachers, tell them so privately, but
do not proclaim it from the housetops.
5. DO not think that the world has
come to an end when an irrate parent
comes in like raging cyclone, breath
ing vengeance from every pore.
Soothe him, calm him, tell him to
mind his own business, shame him,
or-put him out, as occasion demands.
The sooner you give him and all
others to understand that the teachers
are going right on, and that you are
going to sustain them, the SO oner you
will have peace.
6. Do not, for any matter of per-
sonal feeling, denounce the teacher
and ruin the school.
