Mr.. Justice Mnnisty, believing
that there was no legal evidence,
and fearing, as he says, to subject
the plaintiff to fresh expenses, instead
of receiving the verdict, gave judg~
ment Tor defendant, with costs. There
will, OF course, be an appeal; and
the Judges course has afforded a text
for unbounded animadversion and
open attacks upon his impartiality.
Several journals ever affect to be
shocked that a jury should have been
overridden, though the same thing
is done every day, usually with public
comments on the stupidity of juries.
W. have given an opinion on The
case elsewhere but may briefly say
here that Sir Ii. Manisty is believed
TO have committed no illegality, that
Nj. Adams will obtain a final judg-
ment from the Court above at little
or no expense, that Mr.. b. Coleridge
was kept out ofthe witness.box partly
by his lawyers expectation of a
non-suit, and partly by reluctance to
give up his authorities, and that the
introduction of the Lord Chief Justice
into the case by the papers is most
discreditable. Whatever blame may
attach to Mr.. C~oleridge, Lord Cole
ridge hal absolutely done nothing,
except refuse to sanction. and there

disapproved. If a fathers right does

Hieh License AHAround.

The Wisconsin Legislature will
adjourn on Monday next, and the
history of its present session will DE
noted for the enactment of the best
and most far-reaching high-license
law in operation in any State in the
Union. Placing the minimum
license fee at 5000, the law as it goes
into the statue book provides that,
under the system of local option, 1t
may be raised by popular vote to
$3.50, 500 or $500, according to the
population of the township or city
in which the vote is taken,
The minimum of license in Wis
eonsin was heretofore SIS. In
the cities Of the State, large and
small, all efforts to increase the
license beyond this sum were de
featcd. No license often carried
the day in some towns, and even In
the interior large villages and cities.
But wherever license was granted,
the fee was uniformly fixed at S75,
the minimum provided by law.
1t is not probable that many Wis
consin cities will at first adopt high
err license fees than the new legal
minimum. But they will raise the
fee after they shall have studied the
full results to be accomplished.
There are now 900 saloons in Mil
waukee. The city revenue from
this source in the past has been
575. 900 year. Hereafter the rev
enue Of milwaukee, from licenses
will be 100000. The taxpayers
will become instantly sensible OF
the relief which this will afford to
property, and at no distant day they
will adopt a higher license for the
purpose Of procuring additional re
/ lief from taxation. The saloons
will not be able to control the voters
when the palpable issue of dollars
and cents is presented aud no other
question is before them.
In the State of New York, also, a
strong lighthouse sentiment pre-
walls and is rapidly growing. High
/ license is the true solution OF the
I liquor question, and is in the interest
Of temperance reform. 1t reduces
the number of places where liquor
is sold, drives irresponsible and DIS
reputable people from the traffic ana
! diminishes the evils of intemperance
while tending to altogether extirpate
the vice as it now exists under tne
unwise liberality Of the laws On

CAPITAL NOTES
MADISON. wis, April 18th. 1885.

6ADISON. WIS, Aprll lsth, IooS.
The Legislature formally adjourn
ed sine die to-day. The session just
closed was of 90 days duration-one
of the longest in the history of the
state. More than the usual amount
of important business has received
attention, some by adoption and
Others by rejection. The new Ii
cense law, the one mill tax for school
purposes, the provision for rebuild
ing Science Hall and other unusual
appropriations are the matters of
most general importance disposed of.
Senator Kidd, chairman of the
committee of claims, arranged the
budget of appropriations. 1t en-
braces every appropriation made by
this Legislature, and the aggregate,
less the revenues of the state from
corporations and from sources other
than by direct taxation, is the amount
which is named in the bill levying
the state tax. The total so, 1872, 1866,
of which sl,171,27l is for the fiscal
year 1856, and Sl,020,495 for the
fiscal year 1857. In explanation
of several of the items, it may be
said that a considerable part thereof
is already authorized by old laws.
The aggregate given for the bureau
of labor statistics is about 81 800
more than is now appropriated. OF
the allowance for publishing the
general laws, the old law gave $751;
600. Several other items, notably
the appropriations to agricultural
societies, to the State Historical So
ciety, free high schools, state board
of health, etc, the aggregates of
which are given in the following
statement, are but increases over the
authorized by pre-existing
laws. OF the amount named below,
about $4,000 would have been APP
by law, without action by
the Legislature. The only uncondi-
tional appropriation made is that to
meet the current expenses of the
state school for dependent and neg
lected children. The appropriation
Of $4,000 was for the erection of
the school. BY an oversight, no
provision for current expenses was
made. The bill appropriates 50
much as may be needed, leaving the
matter to the discretion of the state
board Of supervision.
The following table exhibits the
appropriations authorized for the
two ensuing wears:

EXECUTIVE RESIDENCE.
Senators Geo. G. Ginty and T. r.
Hudd and Assemblymen G. B. Clark,
J. X. Parish and Hugh Ryan, the
commission appointed under the re-
cent act of the Legislature to pur-
chase an executive residence for the
state, have completed negotiations
for the purchase of the residence
now owned and occupied by Gov.
Rusk. The price paid was $4,000,
maximum amount specified in the
act. The purchase includes the
gas-fxtures, steam-heating apparatus
and all the furniture on the first
floor, including the carpets. The
property was purchased by Governor
Rusk at the beginning of his first
term of office for the sum of $4,000,
but it has cost him up to the present
time S2l, $50. This sum includes
the amount expended in the numer-
Gus permanent repairs effected, the
introduction of fine gas-fxtures and
a complete system of heating,
and taxes and insurance as well as
per cent. interest on the principal
employed. In addition to this, the
furniture which the governor has
placed on the first floor, but which
the state secures by the transfer just
perfected, cost nearly $4,000, and
was appraised at over $1,000 by an
expert furniture dealer Of the city,
who took an inventory of it for the
commission. The entire cost of the
property to the governor, therefore,
including the furniture, has been
nearly $4,000, and the state certain
ly secures not only an elegant and
stately residence for its chief execu-
tive, but at the same time makes
most excellent bargain. The prop
erty is one of the finest in the city
and cost its original owner, Mrs. J.
G. Thorp, about $85, 900. w.H.B.
