A number of papers throughout the
State, notably the State Journal, are
making war upon the shameful extent
to which state officials have carried
their demands for passes upon railroads.
The agitation is likely to result IN some
action by the next legislature. =

From the State Capital.

What pity that our forefathers did
not place Thanksgiving Day before
election! Then the inmates of the state
capitol could at least have been thank
full for a faint hope of another two
wears Of labor for the commonwealth
but now, alas, the day of turkey and
gladness is to them hollow mockery,
and they almost wish that the Puritans
had been allowed to perish in that
memorable winter when they gave
thanks for the supplies which were
sent them. They forget to thank their
lucky stars that they can now withdraw
from the public scrutiny, which has
been anything but comfortable during a
considerable part of their administra-
ton. Gov. Peck found time to eat
turkey in Milwaukee, even if he had
nothing to be thankful for; and most Of
the other state officials spent the day al
home.

Melancholy as is its contemplation,
more of incumbency is left for those
now in possession of the capitol. Ever
since election, they have been making
preparations to leave, and casting about
for some means other than the benef-
cence of the state to pay their coal bills
for the winter
Gov. Peck will Of course make his
headquarters in Milwaukee when he
again becomes a mere citizen. The
only rumor extant is that he will 90 on

Secretary of State Cunningham will
resume personal control of his paper at
Chippewa Falls, The Independent, and
his first assistant, T. B. Leonard, will
practice law in the same city John
Hummer, State Treasurer, will 60 into
the lumber business at Eau Claire.
State Superintendent Wells seems to
have nothing very definite in view: he
will spend the winter and spring IN the
enjoyment of the fine library which he
has been getting together for the past
four years. Thomas Luchsingers, OF
will resume the practice of law in his
home city. Insurance commissioner
Root will go to Milwaukee to take the
management of an insurance company.
Treasury Agent Kennedy intends to
adopt the role of travelling man. Geo.
L. Mathes, private secretary to the
governor, will no doubt re-enter the
field of journalism, and the remainder
of the large force which the capitol has
sheltered for the past four years will
return to the various walks in private
life from which the State called them.
The Madison Democrat suggests to
the incoming legislators that they sub
nit to vote of the people the abolition
Of the state departments of railroads
and insurance.
The Secretary Of States paper at
Chippewa Falls says, in speaking of
state economy, that, Give or four mem
bers on the board of control can do the
work which devolyes upon the present
membership Of six. There is oppor-
tunity to cut down the number of
clerks, especially in the land Office,
where from fifteen to twenty are en-
ployed to do work that five or six could
do if the same amount of business was
in the hands of a private firm.
Strange that the Secretary did not
discover this until so near the end of
his administration. But he gives no
estimate as to the force of clerks which
he himself has had under him in COM
parison with the number which his
successor will require.

Improving slowly at all points dur
ing the last three centuries, fencing
has become far more general in France,
Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and
parts of Germany than ever before,
and is making rapid strides in the
United States. Since the foundation
of the fencers' club in New York
twelve years ago the number of in
structors has rapidly increased; the
overflow has supplied Chicago, Boston
and New Haven. Clubs have been
formed of late in Boston, Montreal,
New Orleans and Salt Lake City to
practice fencing as a game. A little
