The State Journal During the Legislature.

The proceedings of the Legislature
are always of great interest to our
people, even those of us who are not
| directly concerned in the business be-
fore that august body. During the
months the Legislature is in session,
the State Capital is the scene of daily
| transactions that are of decided mo
| ment to every citizen. The many
hundreds of bills that are introduced,
need watching: the good ones should
| be fostered, and the bad antagoniZed.
The contests in committee and the
| chamber debates are always replete
| with interest. During the legislative
season, too, Madison is center of
gaiety: the legislative hops, the guber
Material receptions, the banquets of
the lobby, the miscellaneous social
gatherings incident to the sessiOn--all
these are interesting events, about
which our people like to read. At
Madison, during the winter, promi-
nent people gather from all sections
of the state and the northwest, either
rs spectators of, or factors in, the po-
litical kaleidoscope. Not to be posted
about what is going on in Madison,
during the legislative session, is to be
out of the world for a Wisconsin man
or woman. We know OF no better or
more economical method of gaining in
formation as to what our representa-
tives are doing at the Capital and how
they are doing IL, than to subscribe
| for the staunch, old reliable Wiscon-
sin State Journal, for the session.
