A
Legislature During the Past Week.
The resolution of Mr. Kidd, intro
duced at the morning session, request
| ing the chief clerk to report definitely
the number of bills introduced and the
general condition of business, came up
for consideration and was adopted
In response To the resolution the
speaker submitted the report of the
chief clerk as follows:
To the honorable assembly of the
State of Wisconsin:
La response TO resolution No. 80. A.,
L would report as follows:
Whole number of bills introduced AIT.
passed the assembly 90, indefinitely
postponed %, in hands of standing,
select, and committees of one AIS, in
the general file 4, laid over to certain
dates 4, in hands of printer l, in hands

Total All. Whole number received
from senate IL. concurred in Z, indefi-
nitely postponed /, in the general file
2, laid over to certain date | in hands
of standing committees 80, total II.

Yours very truly.
/. L. CARR.
Chief Clerk, Assembly.
A hard record for reform legisla-
ture that had been in session six weeks.
Resolutions unanimously passed in
the assembly providing for the explod-
ing of one hundred charges of powder
in guns of regulation size, in honor OF
the father of his country, Senate more
economical, indefinitely postponed the
matter Powder saved
The State Board of Charities have
their twelfth annual report in press.
The board urges the establishment of
an institution for weak minded children.
The expenses of the board for the year
ending 1882, were S3,142, II.
A private job is discovered in bill
which lately passed the Senate, having
been introduced by Senator Cottrill.
The bill relates to elevators in public
buildings, and provides that every hotel
and other building over two stories in
height, shall have certain kind of ele-
vator The juice in the lemon comes
from the fact that a patent is held by
certain parties for this very kind of ele-
vator. Ii the measure becomes law, it
will be worse than the barbed wire con-
troversy.
What the legislature does not know
about fire escapes before the session is
over, is not worth knowing. Every body
has patent escape, and his family have
several more. The lot of the legislator,
in consequence, is not a happy one.
A petition is being circulated in favor
of General Thos. Reynolds asking that
indictments against him to be quashed
on payment of the amounts said to
have been taken. Tom prefers to set
tie without showing his hand. In view
of his previous fine record the petition
is being numerously signed.
More business transacted in the Senate
than ever before in any one day for
years.
Assembly not in humor for work;
motion to adjourn to $50 next morn
ing, carried but reconsidered. Lucky
for certain members. If the adjourn
ment had stood they would have been
astonished to see what the world looked
like at that hour. Afterwards memorial
to increase pay Of Mexican war pen
sioners concurred in.

Considerable unfavorable comment
has been made upon President Arthur 5
inaction, inregard to the matter of APP
pointing a civil service commission, as
called for under the bill recently passed
by congress. 1t now appears that the
President was exercising his customary
caution in selecting the members of the
new commission. After weighing care
fully the merits of the different candid
ates he has sent to the senate the names
of Dorman b. Eaton, of New York,
Leroy ID. Thomas, of Ohio, and John
NJ. Gregory, of Illinois. From the COM
position of the commission rs appointed,
the President gives notice that the new
law viii meet with every assistance at
his hands that he has power to give.
The chief of the commission, Mr.. Eaton,
is the father of the bill now up for trial,
and may certainly be looked upon
to give it every opportunity to
prove a success. OF the two other
members but little is known, but. as the
weight of the load win fall on the chief,
this is of little account. MIR Thomas is
the Democratic member of the commits
sion and is a county Judge of Mahoning
county, Ohio. He was recommended
by Senator Pendleton. Mr.. Gregory is
president of the Illinois agricultural
college and a gentleman fully in accord
with the sentiments of the bill whose
provisions he IS to assist in carrying out.
With the President and the commission
in full accord and backed by public SEN
timent the first step towards reform
in the civil service win be firm and en-
couraging and viii open a broader path
for more and better improvements than
contemplated by the present bin, in
the future.
