Constitutional Amendments.

BY reference to the election notice
issued by the secretary of state, it will
be seen that several amendments to
the constitution will be submitted to a
vote of the people for ratification or re-
lection, at the election IN November.
One is an amendment to The suffrage
article, and makes two changes. The
first IS requirement that a person
must reside ''in the election district
where he offers to vote, such time as
may be provided by the legislature,
not exceeding thirty days" The
years residence in the state is required
as heretofore, and the additional re-
quirement of residence in the election
district is provided by this amend
ment. The next amendment is the
addition of the following words to the
4th division of section 1 of article g.:
"and provided further, that in incor-
porated cities and villages, the legisla-
ture may provide for the registration
of electors, and prescribe proper rules
and regulations therefor" This last
amendment, if adopted, will remove
all doubt as the constitutionality Of a
registry law in cities and villages. The
next amendment is to section 4 of
article 6, relating to the election of
county officers, and the principal
change consists in the addition of the
following words to the section: "All
vacancies shall be filled by appoint
ment, and the persons appointed to fill
a vacancy shall hold only for the un-
expired portion of the term to which
he shall be appointed and until his
successor shall be elected and quail
fed" The next amendment Of any
Importance is to section / Of article 13,
which provides that tie section shall
read as follows:
SECTION /. The political year for
the state of " Wisconsin shall commence
on the first Monday in January in
each year, and the general election
shall be held Oh the Tuesday next sue
ceeding the first Monday in Novem-
Der. The first general election for all
state and county officers, except Judi
cial officers, after the adoption of this
amendment. shall be holden in the year
A. d. 1884, and thereafter the general
election shall be held biennially. All
state, county or other officers elected
at the general election in the year
1881, and whose term of office would
otherwise expire on the first Monday
of January in the year 1884, shall
hold and continue in such office re-
spectively, until the first Monday in
January in the year 1885.
The effect of this last amendment
will be to add one year to the terms of
the present state officers and such
county officers as were elcted last fall.
This change becomes necessary in
order to so fix the elections that

From the London GlObe.l


For many years we have had the
weather-glass" as a foreteller of the
weather that is approaching, but the
ordinary barometer Of itself only gives
the atmospheric pressure and it is well
known that this factor, unless taken
into account with the degree of moisture
in the atmosphere and the direction of
the wind,is not trustworthy guide. The
quantity of water in the air which can
be condensed into rain and whether the
wind is cold and dry northerly wind
or warm and moist southerly wind
are also important factors in the problem.
A'good weather indicator ought therefore
to combine all these observations, and
this has been very ingeniously done by
Professor klinkerfues, of Gottingen in
his newly-invented weather compass, u
which takes it's name from its external
likeness to n mariners magnetic compass.
The weather compass gives ill Il very
simple manner prognostication Of the
weather to he expected within the next
twelve or twenty-four hours. and rs its
warnings are said to prove true i'll a
majority of cases, it is likely to be q
useful adjunct to the farmer and n
convenience to almost everybody. 1t
consists of All aneroid barometer, which
indicates the pressure of the atmosphere
by means of pointer on n dial ; but
the pointer is also connected to hair
hydromcter for indicating the humidity
Of the atmosphere and the connection is
80 made that rise of barometer attended
by decrease of humidity, both of which
imply fair weather, combine to move
needle or pointer in the same direction
namely that of fair weather. On the
other hand, if the rise Of barometer is
attended by increase of moisture, the
pointer is subject to the opposing forces
of the uneroid and hair hydrometer. The
direction of the wind is also made to
have bearing on the position of the
pointer and the indication OF the dial,
but this bearing of course depends to

The Federal taxation in the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1880, was S330,000,OOO
In the following year II amounted to
$3.50, 100000. In the fiscal year just
closed it amounted to nearly $405, ,OOO,-
600, an increase in two years of$75, ,0OO,-
600. In the mean time, owing to the
reduction of the principal and interest
ofthe public debt, the ordinary expend-
itures of the government have been
rapidly diminishing. In 1880 the pay
ments on account Of interest and premi-
um on the public debt were $9S, OO0,OOO,
in 1881, $s3. 100000, or a decrease of $l5.-
100000, while the interest account Of
last year was S70,OOOOOO, and for the
fiscal year just begun the interest ac-
count will be about $65, 100000. But for
the fraudulent pension payments the
total ordinary expenditures for the cur
rent fiscal year. including the sinking
fund, ought not to exceed $3.50, 900.
II the taxation this year follows the rate
of increase that has obtained during the
last two years there will be collected in
taxes this year about $450,OO0,OOO, or
nearly $4,000, 900 more than was collect
ed last year, and last year there was q
surplus revenue over and above the or
dinary expenditures of the government,
including interest on the public debt, Of
moro than $50, 600, 900.
