Presidential Cabinet.

Judging from the tone of the press
and the expressions of those who
lead in political sentiment, Wisconsin
expects Cabinet appointment under
the administration of President Har-
rison. Interviews with the Presi.
dent-elect have been had by leading
Republicans of the State, supposed
to have reference to this business.
It would of course be gratifying to
the people if one of the Cabinet Off
GERS should be awarded to Wiscon-
sin. There are seven Cabinet Off
ces to be distributed, and there are
thirty-eight states from which to
choose. This is about one Cabinet
man to every five and a half States.
Only seven States can be compli-
mented, and thirty-one States must
be omitted; most of the number,
however, are not in expectancy of

The Book Robert Elsmere.

This book still continues to be no.
ticed in the pulpit and the press, and
talked about everywhere. To give a
critical review of RobertElsmere, re-
quires literary skill and more than
ordinary judgment, therefore we
make no attempt in that direction.
Of the many different phases of
opinion expressed, ali agree in one
thing: it is an extraordinary produc-
ton of genius. One of the most
common questions heard asked is,
what is its influence Is it ennobling,
uplifting and calculated to better fit
for the duties and responsibilities of
life; or does it portray an ideal and
fictitious condition of existence? All
persons are not affected alike in
reading book involving the right
or wrong of moral actions. To the
question, who may safely read Rob-
ert Elsmere, it may be answered.:
any we'll balanced mind not easily
sent adrift by every fascinating story.
Minds at sea, without any fixed prin-
ciples, might perhaps better leave
the book alone. 1t has, however,
one quality, which cannot fail Of in
nocent pleasure to the reader: its
description of scenery cannot easily
be surpassed.

The Message.

The last and final message of
President Cleveland appears in the
papers generally throughout the
country the present week. The doc
ument is long one and we risk the
presumption that it presents no
points of Importance that have not
been discussed on the platform and
in the press during the late political
campaign. In view of the length of
the message, we revive what was
said generally by leading newspa-
pers over half a century ago, that no
Republic, kingdom or folm of gov
eminent whatever in the world opens
its sessions with anything like the
long messages of the American
Presidents. The speech on the
opening of the British Parliament
does not ordinarily occupy more
than one-fourth the space of a Presi-
dental message. The constitution
directs that the President shall from
time to time inform Congress of the
state of the union and recommend
such measures as he shall deem nec-
essary and expedient. But it does
not intimate that he shall go into an
elaborate argument after the fashion
of lawyer to make out case; that
is the business for members of Con-
gress to consider, and that is what
they are assembled for in the Ma
tional Capital

What the Election Decided.

In all the noise and confusion and
the much that was printed and spo-
ken during the late election cam
paign, one question has been settled
by the voice of the people. Tariff
for protection has been declared the
policy of the coming new administra-
ton. This was made the distinct is
sue by the Republican party, and on
this it triumphed. Free trade had
its ablest advocates in the discus
sions, but failed to show the working
classes that low wages to secure
cheaper goods and wares would be
for their advantage The advocates
of tariff only for revenue. also failed
to show that it would protect the
workingmen from the competition of
European workers. The decision of
the people for protection will proba-
bly, stand for many coming years: it
not only voices the Republican par
ty, but a considerable share of the
Democratic. Had it not been for
Grover Cleveland, the Democrats
would not have made SO strong 3D.
position to the protective policy.
And now the triumph of the Repub-
licans has been so decisive, much
disappointment will be expressed if
certain reforms are not adopted as
early as practicable. Both the great
parties concede that the tariff needs
revising: the Senate may make an
attempt to accomplish the revision OF
the tariff in part before the fourth of
March. Among the earliest reforms
the people of the northern states will
expect is the abolition of the duty on
sugar, which amounts to about sixty
million dollars annually. The south
ern states in the late election cast in

DELAWARE Republicans have just
given a hint of the course that they
will adopt if the Democratic majority
in the Senate shall turn out Repub-
lican Senator, and the effect is won
derful. The lower house of the
Legislature is two-thirds Republican
and they can show fraud enough to
unseat seven Democratic members,
or the entire other third of that
body. The Democrats have wisely
concluded not to try to unseat any,

taxation. Tax payers do not calcu-
late the cost of government with the
same consideration they estimate the
cost of goods and chattels. The
cheapest government is not the best,
but may be the very poorest. The
Milwaukee Sentinel has to say in re-
gard to the economy of biennial ses-
sions as follows:
zone benefit claimed was lessen
ing expenses. That is hardly ap-
preciable because the members sala-
ries are about the same for one ses-
sion now that they were for two be-
fore. The incidental expenses of
the biennial session now must be
nearly as great as for two then.
There is some saving in the pay of
clerks and officers, but the expenses
are not reduced as sensibly as to be
important.
"The evils of biennial sessions as
we have them in Wisconsin are that
it is expected and demanded of the
members of the legislature that they
shall do the work of two sessions,
which is practically twice that of
one, in the time heretofore taken for

Biennial Legislative Sessions.

Biennial Legislative Sessions.
The wisdom of the change of SEES
sions of the legislature of this State,
from annual to biennial, does not
appear after the experiment has been
tried, to be as satisfactory as had
been predicted by the friends Of this
measure. We expressed doubts of
it's expediency from the first, and
still are not convinced that the
change was for the public advantage,
Inconvenience have been expert
enced in consequence Of deferred
legislation. Demands for local leg
islat1on, which cannot be supplied by
county boards, are often urgent,
more particularly in new State like
Wisconsin than older States. The
north thirds of this State is still
sparsely populated, and is destined
to have double the present number
of inhabitants. Instances will occur
with long intervals between legisla-
tive sessions, where contemplated
changes and improvements are de-
layed, waiting for the necessary leg
islatlve action before proceeding
with the purpose in view. If the
business of the country were station
airy and all public enterprises at a
standstilI, there would be but little
occasion for the enactment OF addi-
tional laws, or the change Of old
ones. There will probably be no Sc
rious attempt made to go back to
annual sessions next winter: the OBJ
lection would be raised, the trial of
biennial sessions has not been suffi-
GENTLY tested. But above all would
be the objection of increased exS

me, and the result is and niece ssarily
must be poor work. 1t is not posi-
BILE for members of the legislature to
do the work expected of them prop
erly in the time given.
The laws passed at the last session
occupy 1904 printed pages. The
bills considered and not passed must
have been a good deal more than
that in volume. Of course it is i'm
possible for any man to carefully con-
slider SO many pages during a session
of less than sixty working days.
much less to amend and adapt to ex-
listing statutes SO many pages of laws.
1t could not be done if every mem
Der were an expert lawmaker and
familiar with the statutes of the
state. The impossibility is made
more glaring when we consider how
large proportion of the members
have no experience, and how few of
them are elected because they have
any special qualifications for the per-
Torrance of the work devolved upon
them

their lot with the free traders, there
fore let them accept free trade in
in sugar. If the sugar duty were
removed, the surplus revenues in the
national treasury would no longer be
a source of perplexity. 1t is, how
ever, wisely suggested that govern
ment should offer a bounty on
American produced sugar, applicable
to all the states, the same as has been
in years past to the south. There
are articles of less magnitude than
sugar, on which the tariff might be
abolished or modified to public adj
vantage, which may be referred to at
another time.

such favor. Wisconsin merits a
member of the Cabinet, but whether
more than some States that must
necessarily be left out. will hardly be
claimed. 1t will not be presumed
that extra influences will be brought
to bear on President Harrison in the
interest of this or any one State for
a Cabinet appointment. His posi-
ton must necessarily be embarrassing
in his desire to do justice to the
whole Union. If Wisconsin gets one
Cabinet officer, it will be gratifying:
If the State gets none, there will be
no just cause for murmuring.

Keep your Eyes Open.

We call attention to Mrs. Duval's
communication regarding the
Scientific Instruction Law. There
is grave reason to fear the failure
to adopt text book will seriously
retard the beneficial results that
was expected to accrue from the
passage of this law.
The enemy has not been asleep,
nor unmindful of the fact that the
object of the law may be partially
defeated by the adoption of a text
book that winks at the moderate
use of Alcoholic stimulants. He is
abroad in the land and has not ig-
nored West Virginia.
