THE Governor of New York has issu.
ed proclamation declaring Green.
wood in a state of insurrection, because
its citizens refused to permit the sale
of town property levied on judgment
obtained for interest on town bonds
issued in aid of a railroad that was
never built. If existing laws permit
towns to be pillaged in the name OF
law for the collection of such judg-
ments as this, it is high time that laws
should be enacted providing for the
severe punishment of those railway
robbers who obtained the bonds in
question under false pretenses.

A Resolution is pending in the Uni
ted States Senate providing for the
employment of a clerk for each Sena-
tor who is not chairman of a commit
tee, at a salary of 81 200 year. Most
people will agree that if a Senator de-
sires clerk for his own special benefit
he should employ one at his own ex-
pense. If an annual salary of SIS. 900
will not enable him to do this, and a
clerk is necessary he had better resign
and give place to another.

THE Wisconsin legislature has legal
lied great many illegal acts, and q
bill has been introduced during the
present session to legalize the hang
ing of Ed. Maxwell. The passage OF
this bill will be equivalent to an en-.
endorsement of mob law by the law
making power. and shameful confess
sion of its inability to protect society
by the enactment of needed laws.

TEMPERANCE AND POLITICS.

The temperance people of Wiscon.
sin have evidently become satisfied
that neither the Republican nor DEM
oeratic party will commit itself to the
measure of prohibition, and the more
active of the temperance workers are
girding on their armor for continu-
GUS struggle at tile polls for the as
tendency of this principle, which they
deem of paramount Importance. The
fact that the Independent Temper
ance Party of this State In 1881 polled
more than double the number Of votes
that would be accorded it before cleo
tion by the most astute Republican
and Democratic politicians has given
temperance workers much encourage
ment, and now being able to analyze
the great disadvantages under which
they last labored they will profit by
the costly experience then gained.
We opine that the Temperance Par
tyswill hereafter become more aggres-
sive, and instead Of waiting for the
nominating conventions of other par
ties to be held will push boldly to the
front with temperance candidates who
will stand as representatives of the
prohibition principle. Public senti-
ment is gradually changing upon the
question of this great moral reforma.
tion and it is an issue which neither
sophistry nor riieule can longer keep
in the background. Whatever may
have been the Virtues of and the issues
dividing, the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, party lines are becom-
ing less binding and the differences to
a great extent are now imaginary.
Under these conditions it is not sur
prising that there are many voters
who, disguised with the political cor
ruption of old parties, are considering
the claims of new party for their
suffrages upon a live issue. The Pro-
of Wisconsin have already
to organize for the next
which will be conducted
with a greater degree of energy than
their efforts last fall.

In commenting upon the proposed
constitutional amendment involving
the appointment of Supreme Court
and Circuit Judges by the Governor, a
sensible writer says: 1.-THE real want
of the times Is the restriction of ex-
ecutive and legislative powers and the
assumption by the people of their
right to select all of their officers,
wherever practicable. This is sound
doctrine and legislators will do well to
consider it.

In speaking of the introduction of
bills during the present session of the
legislature an editorial correspondent
of the Eau Claire Free Press makes
the following significant suggestions:
strange, 1T may seem, but few of
them, by their titles, attract atten-
ton as of general concern. Local leg
islation was restricted, some years
ago; but there are so many ways of
whipping the devil around stump.
that nearly all proposed legislation has
for its object the promotion of some
local or personal interest, or the relief
of somebody or something" The
above suggestions constitute simple
statement of literal truth, and very
large percentage of the legislative
work done is based upon the bills SO
tersely described by the writer quoted.

mill fitted with the latest and best OBJ
tainable machinery for the manufac-

Of an essay. The line of thought pre-
sented, met with hearty approval.
The discussion How to teach Pri'
mary Geography was opened by Miss
Hattie GoodelI. Her thought was to
commence with the school room and
then branch out. Map-drawlng was
a necessary auxiliary. A sharp dis
cussion followed, many taking the
ground that too much time had been
spent on geography and that the so
called Home Geography was worn
thread bare. One lady said she had
travelled near two-hundred miles in a
lumber wagon, since her winter school
commenced over the hills and through
the valleys of aestern Pierce County;
and, though drilled upon the subject
of s'Pierce County for years, these
rides had taught her the most and
