At The Capitol.
iSpoclal COFFespondence.)
Madison, Jan. &c,


A very noticeable feature of the pres
ent legislature, particularly the lower
House is diiiidence with which it takes
hold of business. There seems a back
wardness about coming forward which
to one who has attended former sessions
is somewhat wearisome, if not positive
ly fatigung. 1t is in tho lack of logis-
lative experience, however. that the
timidity of members in presenting new
measures may be accounted for. OF
the entire membership of tho lower
House but fourteen have heretofore
OBLIGATED as lawmakers and in conse-
quence the work of the session in that
branch has not progressed with its
wonted rapidity. While many are
still waiting for others, not only to take
the initiative but to conduct what bust
ness is transacted, nevertheless even the
''bayseed'' delegate seems to be awaken
ing to his high privileges. During tbs
past week larger number of bills were
introduced in the Assembly than during
the two weeks of tho session previous
while in the Senate large batch was
also received. At present there are on
file about one hundred in the Assembly
and nearly half as many in the Senate
A resolution now pending to fix Febru-
airy y as the limit for the reception of
new business except privileged reso-
lutions will no doubt precipitale flood
of bills, important and otherwise, prior
to this date or whereabouts.
Among the more important measures
of the week was the medical bill of the
Wisconsin Medical Society. introduced
by Assemblyman Cunning, OF Friend
ship. The bill has for its purpose the
regulating of the practice of medicine by
establishing requirements which will
prevent incompetent persons from en-
gagng in it. A board of examiners Of
seven members to be appointed by the
governor is contemplated, by which all
pers MS desiring to practice in the state
whether graduates of legally organized
medical schools or non-graduates will
be examined and their qualifications
determined. The measure specifies no
schools of medicine from which selec-
tons in appointments to the board
shall be made by the governor. The
board which is to be organized prior TO
June l, 1889, is to consist of three
members for one year, two for two
years and two for - years, and an
nual reports of its transactions will be
required. The measure is likely to
meet with favorable consideration.
A bill also of quite general impor-
lance was that the introduction of which
was secured by the board Of State Uni
versity regents. What is desired is the
establishment of system Of mechanic
institutes to be under the supervision OF
the University in manner similar to
the control now exercised By the inslitu-
ton over the farmers institute. II Is
provided that az institute conductor,
skilled in theoretical aud practical me-
ehanics be employ ed who in addition
