MILWAUKEE Sentinel: The Wis

MILWAUKEE, Sentinel. The Wis
consin "Blue Book" is one of the
growing productions of this state.
When the legislator first authorized
such a publication it appeared in the
form of thin little duodecimo.
Year by year its proportions have
expanded, until the issue for this
year is portly octave volume of
500 pages, not including the illustra-
tons. We do not think that any
other state turns out legislative
manual of such magnificent proper
tons. 1t is a convenient book of
reference, but it is becoming some
what overgrown. The effort here
after should be to condense rather
than expand it. Among the new
features Of the current volume is
list of all the members of the state
Legislatures from the organization of
the state to 1888, inclusive, printed
in alphabetical order, line being
given to each name. The list is
duplicated for the past ten years in
another form and more condensed
one, which would answer every pur-
pose. 1t also contains the national
platforms of the several parties
adopted last year, which might be
well omitted from such publication.
What the volume cost we do not
know, but itappears that over $4,000
were appropriated for copies in adj
dition to the authorized number.
There is an opportunity for retrench-
ment hereafter in this item of ex-
penditure.

A LOW-SPIRITED AGE

A London medical journal has
reached the conclusion that this is a
melancholy age-a conclusion that
has been forced even upon observers
who have had nothing to do with
The insane. Whether this, more
than any preceding age, is melancholy
is not easy to determine, but certain
ly the conditions of modern life are
calculated to encourage melancholy.
There is no such thing as reasonable
placidity for the most of men. There
is no temperate enjoyment of any
thing, even of religion. There is no
longer enjoyment in the mere physi-
cal tact OF existence. The mind has
become restless, self.centered, anx-
ious and the whole physical system
feels the depression. When the
pleasure of mere existence is lost,
there is a prompt intellectual con-
ception of the utter worthlessness of
life. 1t is only when the unrecog-
nized WEAKNESS of the mind involves
the whole being in the shadow that
q man asks himself whether il pays
to live. 1t was never intended that
man should ask himself this question.
Yet everywhere the number of sui
cides is increasing and men are
wrestling with unseen terrors.
The London medical writer says,
if we should follow the learned
Judge who has won our admiration
in court, to his private room, we
might find him "wringing his hands"
and feeling that his condition was
worse than "the criminals brought
before him." the great preacher, if
we should see him on his couch at
night, we should find "distressed by
doubts and perplexities" and even
the physician, whom we have just
consulted for our own dependency,
and who has advised GUS to fight
against it," we SHOULD perceive as
soon as he has dismissed his patients,
hurry off to the house of a brother
practitioner and pour forth in his ear,
with tremulous anxiety, description
of the hopeless disease with which
he conceiyes himself to De suffering,
and which exists, only in his hypo
chondriac fancy" Perhaps the most
striking evidence of the tendency to
melancholia is the eagerness with
which the average person seeks
whatever promises to draw him out
of his saduess-only farces succeed
on the stage. The furious devotion
to the roller rink is a development
of dependency.
Excess is at the bottom of the
melancholy tendency. Excess in
every direction ana the inherited
consequences Of excess in a preced-
ing generation. The remedy is
plain, but it is not easy to apply.
Moderation in work and in
pleasure and the cultivation of a
habit Of cheerfulness are not
easy.-KH,raubee Sentinel.

The veteran and practiced reprobates
with from two to twenty wives each
resist the law to their utmost, and
propose to suffer as martyrs the

they constitute only small part Of

adjustment has been once burnt out,
but is in such a dourishing condition
that its stock is way above par The
question suggests itself: Why can
not such factory be established and
pro6tably maintained at Mineral
Point? The manager Of the factory

basis with $4,000 capitol, without

out a dissenting voice the House at

THERE is a rumor at Washington

to sending all the unrepentaut rebels

there are decided objections to send

MANY persons are under the inn
preston that the bill retiring Gen
eral Grant allows him to draw back
pay. This is an error. The bill was
a general one, merely permitting the
President to nominate zone person"
for the position, though, of course,
it was understood that Grant would
be that person. The pay of Gen
eral, about $4,000 a year, will afford
immediate relief to the suffering
veteran and his family.
TuErecent fight between the rebel
Indians and half-breeds and the
Canadian troops in the Northwest
Territory was a bloody disaster to
the latter. The rebels are evidently
well-armed, and have expert sharp
shooters among them. The Canadi-
ans were made targets Of, and were
shot down in cold blood by men in
ambush who knew how to take dead
ly aim. The Canadian troops are
just discovering that their "speck of
war" is anything but boy's-play.

there was no doubt but that it would
